Rockbox Development > New Ports
Sony NWZ-E370
kofaz:
In addition to my nwz-e385, I put it on someone else's nwz-e384. Both work just fine.
Also, there is one other theme available for our screen size at the themes page-
http://themes.rockbox.org/index.php?themeid=2054
Too bad there's no way to rotate the screen. Because there are many 160x128 themes, but just the one 128x160.

I had no trouble installing. There is a different bootloader for 37x models and 38x models. Download the rockbox firmware/bootloader, rename it firmware.sb, put it in the root folder. Perhaps your problems are from the bootloader saint built for you?

I might just be having the "keys not always acting right" problem. Earlier today the home/back button worked for the first time. But after it came out of screen blank, it didn't work again, and pressing play/pause wouldn't even pause the file that was playing.
And sometimes if I pushed and hold the option button until that Context Menu appears and then press the option button again, it would take me out to other areas home/back does, but other times it just takes me back to the wps screen.
As for bootloader, do you mean the bootloader from the second post of this thread? Giving that a try now.
kofaz:
Yes, I used the 380 bootloader from second post in thread, stored on dropbox.
I read the irc logs, and your issues reminded me of some wierdness I had on both installs (384 & 385). After ejecting/unmounting player and unplugging, there was a sony graphic saying do not discconnect. But it was already disconnected. Nothing happened, both seemed frozen...was worried I bricked them. But after poking the reset button, they boot up and rockbox was there.
As far as the buttons not working, that rarely happens to me. Although I do notice that when player is cold (outside in winter) the play button stops working, and once the back/home button too.
All in all, I'd say rockbox is very stable and dependable on my player, too bad the radio doesn't work. I got mine in May. The 384 I put it on was purchased in December. I put rockbox on both in december. Perhaps, like Saint said on IRC, yours may have a newer original firmware that was incompatible with pmaury's bootloader (he made over two years ago)? On the root of both of these players is a file called deviceinfo.txt. they both say :
comp.1.00.0000
prod.1.00.0000
I'm guessing that was the sony firmware version?
Good to know someone else is using these players. They're probably the only players still being made that have a usable rockbox port.
mxyzptlk:
kofaz, you're right, this device I have seems to be a bit different. In my DeviceInfo.txt, I have
COMP.1.00.0100
PROD.1.00.0100
So yeah, looks like there's been an update.
I re-installed the bootloader from the second post, and home/back is working more often now, but not consistently. But it didn't really work at all before, so that's an improvement. Aside from that little inconsistency, everything else is working fairly well, although I had that one hard lockup after finishing a game of solitaire (from the plugins).
If there are any more updates to this device's firmware, I'd be happy to test them.
[Saint]:
Observational bias.
The bootloader has absolutely zero bearing on the buttons under Rockbox, or, anything in Rockbox at all, for that matter.
