Thanks for you work.
I checked your latest version and found current power key handling is actually not consistent with original OF/smartphone feeling.
I expect it to turn off screen but instead it simply locks the buttons. It's also not consistent with other rockboxed players I have (clip zip, Iriver H10 and iPod) - all of them use 2-keys-combo for locking and power key turn offs screen immediately. So could you please return this behavior for consistency.
There is another feature I miss from Clip Zip - long pressing right/left buttons in file view make names scroll. It's very convenient feature to quickly read long folder/file names. Could you please also enable this feature for Rocker
Njones:
New firmware update available for Agptek Rocker from Agptek.
speachy:
Huh. The change they list is: "Enables to be compatible with Rockbox system."
Downloading it yields a PDF with instructions to grab a couple of uncredited files from google drive -- a update.upt image and a rockbox.zip that were generated April 9, 2018.
It's nice to see AGPTek acknowledge Rockbox, but... this doesn't seem to be the best way to go about it...

Hi,
I'm searching a successor to my Sansa Clip+ rockboxed (it power on but i have no sound, only a "plop" per second).
I wanted buy the "Clip Sport" but it is not compatible Rockbox and seems to have limitations (2000 tracks max ?!).
So i searched again and found this "new" brand "Agptek". I'm a little lost with all the models found on Amazon.
The "Rocker" seems to be the only one with a rockbox port (unstable ?). Can you confirm ?
Is there others low price mp3 players i should consider ?
Where can i buy this "Rocker" compatible with Rockbox ? Are MC15 and MC15 "2nd" (v2) ok ?
A lot of questions ;)
Thanks

Hi,
A totally non-technical answer:
I was looking for a very long time for a successor to my (various) dear Sansa Clip+, that kept on dying one after another.
Then I tried the Clip Sport, but the track limitation was really bothering me (since I have a 128Go MicroSD card). I've found the AGPTEK Rocker after roaming the internet to find a worthy counterpart, which I purchased from there
(https://www.amazon.de/dp/B01MZ50M0Y/ref=pe_3044161_185740101_TE_item - not sure if it's authorized to post retailers links in the forum, so tell me) - it seems unavailable, but you might find it on other stores.
It works with a 128Gb SD Card, the rockbox port is perfect from what I saw - the only annoying thing is that the volume buttons seem that they have to be held and not pressed only once or twice to lower the volume, but I guess it's fixable, I just didn't take the time to look at it properly. Also, it sounds great to me, but I am not an audiophile, so I can't really tell you.
Finally, I think they are all named Rocker but are really MC15s, but maybe someone with more knowledge can expand on that?
Hope it answered your questions!
