Rockbox Development > New Ports
iBasso DX50
cholero:
In my builds at head-fi I've included a mod that I called "Spartphone UI style". I had to take this out to get the port commited. To be honest, this mod has a very low possibility to get ever accepted :( (even if I did it in a very clean way). But anyway I will do a commit to gerrit that you can cherry-pick it.
This mod changes:
* in main menu -> power brings you to resume
* in wps -> power toggles backlight, other buttons don't turn on backlight
The concept of this mod is that WPS should be the main screen, not the main menu (exept when playback is stopped).
This concept is today more intuitive than in 2002 because we got brainwashed by using Mobil Phones (iPhone and Android) in the past ~5 Years.

Thx. Works.
Well it did, after i spend several hours trying to figure out why this &"§%§ build would skip every &$§& track. Turns out, that Rockbox will do this if it can not load the codecs, which where named .so instead of the default.
Maybe i shouldn't play git at 1am in the morning ...

Hello everyone,
I'm not sure if this is the right thread as I am not an expert whatsoever, but before I open a new topic about the iBasso DX50, I figured I should try my luck here.
I have been using Rockbox for quite a while now, I had it installed on an iRiver H340, a Cowon X5, Sansa Clip Plus and even on the iPod Classic (which is not one of the "officially" supported devices).
Lately, I got myself an iBasso DX50 - and the main reason to buy it was indeed the Rockbox port which is already out there.
However, I have to admit that I didn't get it to work properly. I'm sorry that I cannot describe everything in detail because of my lack in technical knowledge, but maybe you can still help me.
In order to install, I followed the instructions given on several webpages. I used the cholero version and the RKbatch tool to flash.
It was quite fiddly for me, but in the end I got RB working. 2 problems came up though:
1) I didn't get any sound. At first there was a crackling in my headphones, but then nothing. HOWEVER, this might be a result of my own stupidity. I am not sure if I didn't accidentally plug my headphones into the COAX out of the DX50. I am still not used to the headphone outs sitting on the BOTTOM of the player. I read that others had a similar issue with no sound, so I decided to list t here anyway. Maybe I did something wrong in the instalation or so.
2) I did not find out how to get to the dualboot menu. I think I was able to choose Mangoplayer or Rockbox when i first booted it...but from then on, pushing the ON button automatically boots Rockbox. I tried several button combinations at boot time, but none did open the dualboot menu.
3) Rockbox did not show the music files on the SD card. After a while, I found out that the contents of the SD card should be listed under Files>mnt and NOT "sdcard", but still...the folder was shown as empty. I took out the SD and plugged it directly into my PC - and all the music files are shown. The original iBasso firmware also detects and plays all the contents.
As a result, for now, I have reverted to the original firmware. In the meantime, I thought I completely bricked the device, but luckily I succeeded in the uninstallation. I had underestimated how much of a problem the lack of real and complete documentation is for a newbie like me.
Sooo...do you have any idea where the problems came from? Particularly issues #2 and #3?
Thanks ever so much in advance,
RBNB

Well, try again. Make sure to use the headphone out. Report back, if there is still no sound while using the headphone out.

To start the chooser menu, engage the hold switch (the upper/locked position) and then turn on the device.
