Android: rasher's unmodified daily builds.

[[Saint]]

Does the database.ignore function work with these builds and, if so, where should database.ignore be located to avoid Android .ogg files?

It's Rockbox...so, yes.

You'll need to be rooted for this, so, I hope you are

You want to put the database.ignore in /system/media/audio/

And then you'll avoid the database picking up your ringtones, etc. You'll also want to put a database.ignore file in the root of your sdcard, and put a database.unignore file in any directories that you want Rockbox to look in, as some Android apps like to store app data (which may or may not include audio lifes) on the sdcard.

EDIT: This could be done with ADB push, also.

Thank you!

I suspected as much  I bought the Samsung YP-G70/CWY  on Oct. 15 (day before release).  I'm not brave enough to root it (yet) although I have read that the device may be rooted already.

I'm really liking your theme.  It, uh, *Rocks*!

You _might_ be able to achieve this with ADB push?

adb shell
su
adb remount
adb push database.unignore /system/media/audio
exit
exit

Shameless plug: You can follow theme updates from me at either my Google+ or Twitter accounts.

I just recognized that CPU usage of rockbox on my Samsung Galaxy S (running Gingerbread 2.3.5) is usually between 15% and 25% (most of the time about 20%) during playback. Even when playback is paused a CPU usage of about 2% is shown in the task manager. For other players like the stock Samsung player or Winamp most of the time 0% CPU usage is shown (what I don't understand, how can it be 0%?).
Does that mean that rockbox will drain my battery much faster than the other players? And does anybody know why there is such a big difference in CPU usage compared to the other players?
I do not use any EQ (even no bass or treble).

Hi,

Ok, I got the .apk file for the Cowon D3 and now what? Where do I put it? In the Cowon's route? Its my first experience with Android, so don't laugh at me

[TexasRockbox]

Make sure Android is configured to allow program installation from sources other than the Android Store.

Download the file directly onto the D3 from rasher's site.

There should be an option to install the program.

[miow]

Thanks a tone. I'm just wondering where are all those options.

[[Saint]]

It was slightly poorly worded.
There's only one option you need to worry about:

Settings - Applications - Unknown Sources (make sure this is checked)

After that, simply transfer the .apk file to your device's sdcard, then navigate to this file and select it. It will then prompt you to begin the installation.

That's all.

I see no reason why not...

My understanding is that BBE on Cowon devices is sound enhancement applied in software so I would say 'no' to that, but I'm open to correction.

[miow]

I tested the rockbox 480x800 Android on a orange Monte Carlo Cell Phone and the 6 band EQ is so small I can't touch it...  It's very very small on the top of the screen. Impossible to work with. Does the same happen on the Cowon D3? If it does, can't you correct this?

[Chronon]

Try using "Advanced EQ" instead.  It gives access to the same parameters as the graphical EQ.  Maybe it will be usable. 

[miow]

Yes, the EQ is the same thing on the Cowon D3. Too small to be usable.  :'( Can't you PLEASE correct this?

Wheres cutoff?

[TexasRockbox]

Check the low shelf filter -> Cutoff frequency, same for the high shelf filter.  The other three filters utilize "Centre Frequency".
