The very first version was reloaded the OS we developed, which maybe has some unfounded bugs.

Is your OS based on Rockbox?

Here's the link on Amazon US:
https://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-Resolution-Lossless-Audiophile-Supports/dp/B01MZ50M0Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1486141903&sr=8-1&keywords=AGPtEK+ROCKER

Cost is $59.

No, the OS is not based upon Rockbox. Hunterleo previously said they were going to release the product with their own custom OS (like all their other players).  They supposedly designed this player with the minimum hardware that Rockbox needs to run.  I'm assuming one of the active devs now needs to get involved and see how it would be to port Rockbox to it.

Also, my main concern for getting Rockbox to work on this player is that I don't think Rockbox supports Bluetooth and that's one of the main features of this player.  If someone gets Rockbox to run, it may be quite a while before all the hooks are developed to control the Bluetooth functionality.

Hi,
@Hunter Leo can you please post all of the data sheets for the components used in the device so we can get a port started.

I'm dissappointed that on the amazon US site, it says battery life is only 10 hours.  The other agptek players all have way, way more battery life.

Is the 10 hour life only for lossless files?

How long would it last, listening to 128kbs files?

Rocker with new CPU consumes much more power than other models. After all, it is the smallest one for the audiophiles. That's the price for the performance and features. For 128kbs file, we have not tested that yet. Maybe 5 hours more.

Theoretically yes, however, rocker hasn't been ported with Rockbox yet.

I very presumptuously started a New Port thread for this:
http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php/topic,51653.msg239041.html#msg239041

It's a cross-post, but I'll repeat the offer here:  if there are any developers interested in digging in to a potential Rockbox port to this device, I would be THRILLED to make a substantive contribution, by buying one or two and shipping it/them to a developer or two.  Rockbox and its developers have given me a ton, and I'd love to give a little bit back – and I'm excited about this device.

Any takers, please PM me.  (Prefer an "official" RB developer: you know with the little yellow box icon next to their name etc.)

Thank you very much for the effort! Jim.

I'm also contacting Rockbox developers and offering samples for them.

Regards,

Leo

No, we reloaded our own OS.

I'll definitely be ordering one as soon as developers here will confirm that a port seems possible... I'm talking about documentation and datasheets availability mostly...  It seems great!
@hunterleo what is your official shop on Amazon?
