Sansa Clip Zip
2facedmayor:
Update: Not sure why I didn't think of this before, but I turned on the directory cache and that completely solved the track delay issue. I understand this has helped a few people having the same issue on different players with Rockbox.

Album art colours seem a bit washed out, but that's just a hardware limitation I think.
(Although maybe we can adjust gamma for to adjust the subjective contrast?)
The Clip Zip can have two different kinds of display, so far we've seen only the Visionox type (visible in the diagnostics menu of the original firmware flashed with a 'T' suffix). The other kind (WiseChip) has not been seen yet 'in the wild', but there is a driver for it. If/when the newer display type shows up, it will probably not work completely right.

I would *love* for the screen to be calibrated better (as compared to the OF). I've gone back and adjusted the contrast and gamma of embedded .jpgs and the Clip Zip display of album art looks so much better with deeper colors. I suspect the problem may a 1-255 vs. 16-235 brightness levels. I would think the Clip should be 1-255.
Use color bars as a test:
note in the lower right corner -- there are three small bars -- one is blacker than black, one is black and other is just above black. The blacker than black should be absolutely black and should be just as dark as the black next to it. Only the third bar should be slightly visible.

I have been looking around here, but where do i get informations do get/compile the bootloader?
I found the rockbox build.
Can someone please help me? Thank you!

Hello.
I've got Rockbox build 30968 on my Clip Zip. So far, so good -- thanks for all the hard work you all have put in.
As I understand the situation with USB mass storage support, that does not work on the Zip and its close relatives the Clip and Clip+ when booted into Rockbox. I've seen some mention of a patch for (I think) the Clip+ which would allow it, but that capability has been turned off by default, because it's unstable when the device is connected to a Windows computer.
Since my Zip will probably never be connected to anything but a Linux computer, the Windows issues don't bother me. Does anyone know if this patch actually exists, and if so, if it can be applied when building the Zip? And if so, could someone please give me some pointers on how to apply it? I've figured out how to set up the build environment, and build the Zip firmware, but I'm pretty hazy yet on how to modify it.
Thanks.
Tony

Then at the configure step, when prompted choose bootloader instead of main build. And in the future if you just have questions about compiling, use the "Starting Development and Compiling" rather then a development thread.

Uncomment the USE_ROCKBOX_USB line here: http://svn.rockbox.org/viewvc.cgi/trunk/firmware/export/config/sansaclipzip.h?revision=30970&view=markup
Expect a lot of file system corruption though.
