Are these possible for the Fuze+?

[gk2012]

Is it possible to only lock the touchpad when you lock the device during playback?
I just want the volume buttons easily accessible without messing up what I'm listening to because of the sensitive touchpad.

Not turn on the screen backlight while the controls are locked?
I just don't want it to drain the battery quickly every time I hold the Fuze+ on my hand.

And set a default image to use when an album art isn't available for the music playing.

Lock only the touchpad when you lock the device during playback, not the volume +/-?

+1
Do not turn on the screen backlight while the device is locked, unless volume +/- or Off button is pressed.

I think this is doable, although it would require recoding some stuff.

Thank you for supporting my suggestions. I do hope they get implemented or at least someone is able to customize the Rockbox firmware for the Fuze+ with some of these features.

No album art default image is already implemented in themes, so no code changes are needed, here is a theme that uses it:-

Oh wow, I honestly didn't know that was already built in the firmware.
Is it possible to use it globally? Or do I have to use or make a theme that implements it?

Themes decide what to show,  so its not really possible to talk about having a global behavior. It would break themes.

Haha, I thought of the same thing and created a topic in General Use back in January.

So, yeah, definitely +1. I think this would be the only sensible solution for touchpad devices. Touchpads are much easier to trigger by accident than buttons.


Edit: Nevermind.

I created an account just to request this idea.  Since the fuze+ is totally touch-based, and buttons can be "pressed" -- by accident -- far too easily, I think this should be priority.

Having used a fuze+ for about two weeks now, I feel like the touchpad feature is more-or-less a design flaw.  It makes me miss my clip+

Alas.

Those were not developed in the first place, because they are against some consensus among developers. Pamaury has started talking about them and those are now open for implementation, and somehow planned to be done. However nobody has time for it at the moment. So if you want to start on it go on...

[metaphys]

I've started work on this but it might take some time before it get merged. We have to make sure that it doesn't breaks other target...  Still I guess that it should be available in a fews weeks...

[metaphys]

so the second point has been implemented in the dev tree. Still have to go with the second...

Hi metaphys

the touchpad enhancements really make the device a lot more pleasing and are very welcome indeed.  However, I found a bug that arrived with the changes.  It is specific to the Fuze+ and its touchpad as far as I can tell (doesn't happen with my players with buttons).  I opened a flyspray task http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/12895

[metaphys]

Yeah I'm aware of that. This is related to the recent remapping of the back button to the menu action. I will submit a patch as soon as I have time
