typo? should be

--- End code ---
also

to

Quite right, I was pretty tired when I wrote that. I also added in the little bit of hackery one needs to do with zipalign while re-reading it. Thanks.

Now regarding album art in your WPS, were I to put my speculation hat on (its my favourite hat), I would say that the issue is almost certainly overflowing the fixed buffer space. Now, I could get into a deep and meaning{ful|less} conversation about why having a static buffer allocation for all application targets, regardless of screen resolution is a hilariously bad idea, but I won't.

There's hardly any graphics in that WPS. I've got 570x570px album art running fairly well on a 720x1280 screen (doesn't load when the track changes, just when I select a track manually). I guess it might be something else..

While that may be true, the buffer isn't exactly huge either.

And you've got to try and get two fullscreen bitmaps, whatever other bitmap assets are loaded by the theme, 250 glyphs from one or more fairly large bitmap fonts, icons, ...etc.

AidanSonoda:
Finally had some freetime this evening and  thought  to have another crack at this. Thanks to [Saint] for the detailed instructions (and ZincAlloy for the corrections) they were quite easy to follow and I was able to compile and install 4c4c645-150609 on my S5. Unfortunately no change in regards to cover art. Still shows in the notification but not on my wps.

I did apply the linked patch for increased memory size - is there any way to verify that the patch worked (there were no error messages fwiw).

Otherwise, perhaps ZincAlloy was correct that the buffer size was not the cause. Any other ideas?

Thanks again for all the help!

ploco:
you can check the patch result thou the Buffer size of system menu, Rockbox Info.
It's a simple hack that alter one line in make file from "export MEMORYSIZE=8" to "export MEMORYSIZE=32"
you can even change that line manually, but remember make clean before compile the apk again.

If you wish, upload your theme somewhere, I will debug for you.


btw, this is my 1080p theme. with extra G839 patch, (MEMORYSIZE 64)



[edit]
I've tested your JJR.wps
The reason why the CoverArt not showing is because,
your forgot put them in a view!

%V(390,250,500,500,-)
%Cl(0,0,500,500,c,c)
%Cd

this should fix your problem.

ZincAlloy:
Neat. That patch will come in handy!

AidanSonoda:
Thanks ploco, that sorted it straight out.

Nice to see more 1080p themes cropping up.

Thanks again to everyone for setting me straight!
