AGPTEK Rocker

[JimZipCode]

So, it's here.

Hi, hunterleo,
So, can rockbox os work on this player?

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

There is very little that I can do to help this effort.  However, one thing I can do is, I can buy one or two of these things and ship them to a developer who is interested in working on this.  I've got a hefty Amazon gift card from Christmas, burning a hole in my pocket.  And I would be THRILLED to make a substantive contribution to a potential Rockbox port to this device.

Any takers?  Please PM me.

Thanks,

Jim

I will do the port, since I'm already working on the Fiio X1 with a very close soc.
I found the programming manual online:

It might not be the latest version but that's good stuff already. I will upload it to the wiki. I don't have the device yet.

I don't have the device yet.

Want one?

Hi, thanks for the proposal I will first wait a few days see if AGPTek can send me one

Ok, let me know.

What's the screen resolution?

It's not written anywhere in the manual or specifications but having the device in my hands now, it looks like to me it's 128x160. It looks terrible even if the screen is only 1,8".

Just making sure I am eying the correct model that you guys are developing for.
Would this be the right model?

Also, has there been any progress with the port?
Is it safe to say that Rockbox will be fully functional on this device? (Have to decide whether to send my G05 back)

It's never safe to assume that a rockbox port will be successful

Didn't the manufacturer seek out the most prominent Rockbox developers, specifically discussing what hardware to incorporate regarding the Rocker, in order to ensure full compatibility with Rockbox?

Sure, but it is as yet unconfirmed.  Who knows how successful they were, or how completely the build team bought into the sales guy's suggestions, or what compromises had to be made to keep costs manageable?  Etc etc.

[joe.hisashi]

I see, so as of yet we don't even know if the suggested, compatible hardware has actually been implemented in the final product. Have you guys heard anything from pamaury since February 4th?

I am kind of torn right now as I am really satisfied with the APGTek G05 which has truly proven to surpass the Sansa Clip+ , but it lacks Rockbox support.

I was leaning towards sending it back, in favor of the Rocker, but now that I've learned that a successful port isn't even guaranteed I am really lost.

This has nothing to do with development, so it should not be in this thread. 

[joe.hisashi]

Thank you, apparently I missed pamaury's response on irc.
What exactly are we to gather from this brief exchange between devs, is the current status rather positive or negative?

Check back in a few months.
