Thanks wodz USB works as it should.

Here are the links for the firmware that enables the usb mode, tested by me and working.

Let me know if any issues

I finally rockboxed my Rocker and I found some things:

• There's no clock
• When the Rocker was scanning my card for music it didn't show any progress; my Clip Zip would show an increasing number, he Rocker stays at 0, seemingly frozen, it eventually responded to input again after it was done with the scan
• I won a game of solitaire and got a seg fault error, it showed a white screen with the address 0x77c0d000, it happened on every win a second or so after the cards do the bouncy thing
• Picture flow says it couldn't create a directory (showing where said directory would go inside of the .rockbox one
• Solitaire settings are reset each time the plugin starts, saved games resume just fine
• Aside of the blue/green-ish colors someone else mentioned, Rockboy ran BEAUTIFULLY, fixable by using the modified rockboy plugin by alcaier from here

I used the latest build that Milardo posted with the working USB mode.

If I find anything else, I'll report it.

I also noticed Rockbox cannot detect when the headphone jack is removed. No matter how "Pause on Headphone Unplug" is set to, it doesn't detect it. This leads to having music played in the background for hours and a very quick battery drain

In commit f18e4d5d56e5a1b1cba90ab29e86cd2295e0cd52 I implemented RTC support. I don't have access to my player for some time so please post here feedback. You only need to substitute .rockbox folder on SD with one from rockbox.zip compiled with this change. No need for full upgrade.

We read headphone status through sysfs linux interface. Which player variant (1 or 2) and which OF version are you using (does it detect HP unplug correctly in OF?)

[MrFoxhead]

I'm using the AGPTEK Rocker V2 (the one with rounded edges), running 1.2 original firmware and Rockbox version b9467e9347-180409.
The Original Firmware properly detects the headphone unplug and it pauses right after tho.

If you are willing to help please install adb tool (the one from android tools or how it is called nowadays) and catch me on IRC so we can have live debug session.

If you install this, it will install ADB for you so you can use it straight from your command window, I highly recommend it.

 It's the version of ADB that I use for if I need to try and debug my phone, I hope it's okay to post this link, it's just a lot easier than installing all of the Android Development Tools.
If there's anything I can maybe do to help in the future please feel free to ask.

Thanks,

Sadly, my skills seem to be limited to "poke all the things ans see if something breaks" in this case (I think I need Debian to make a RB build).
OTOH, I have ADB ready and don't have headphone detection like MrFoxhead does.
I have the same player and firmware versions (1.2 and b9467e9347-180409, the one posted by Milardo).
Headphone detection works fine in the OF but not in the RB I install

Great! Try to catch me on IRC. I live in CEST timezone.

There is another item quite similar : the Benjie BJ-T6.

Avalaible for purchase Aliexpress, for cheaper..

It seems that AGPTek designed the Rocker, while BENJIE is manufacturing the item.

Accoreding to AliExpress, there are some differences, as the BENJIE is supporting FM, and recording.

The Benjie site is not as precise.

I plan to purchase a Benjie to test RockBox on it. And try the FM and the recording options.

Any advice ?

[johnb]

I received my Benjie T6 this week. It does NOT have a FM or recording option.
There have been several reports that the AGPTEK Rocker (v1) and Benjie T6 are the same hardware. With v2 the metal case has rounded edges.
In the meantime I have the Rocker v1.2 firmware and Rockbox on it. 

[wodz]

As stated before, Benjie T6 and Agptek Rocker v1 is exactly the same hardware.
You can interchange firmware between the two (i.e flash agptek firmware in T6 and vice versa).
There is NO FM nor recording.
