AGPTEK Rocker
mowing-parapet:
I've browsed through this thread I think from start to finish several times, but I'm unsure what the install steps are as of today.
1. Does one still start here? https://github.com/wodz/rockbox-wodz/tree/agptek-rocker/tools/agptek_rocker
2. Once one has output from that build process (patched update.upt and rockbox.zip), what does one do with them? I feel like the best answer would be a link rather than a description, because the latter might prompt further questions. Perhaps that link should then be added to the end of the page above?
Sorry to ask here: I'd ask elsewhere, but I don't see any discussion re AGPTEK Rocker elsewhere, only requests not to post here :-/ In my defence: if I can get the thing installed and working well enough to have hope it's workable for me, I might well make some patches / PRs, I'm a programmer but not an embedded programmer so I'm clueless with dumping flash memory and whatever else it is you wizards do.

Hi, do you have an agptek rocker or benjie t6?
1. I think that is only useful if you want to build the patched update.upt file yourself or you can download precompiled update.upt file by me.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wKUaxM4Zxs2850x5jeVBLI4DvbtbQTCJ/view
You can get a newer rockbox.zip file from here.
https://build.rockbox.org/
And download the agptek rocker one of course.
2.
Instructions for install:
Extract the folder out of rockbox.zip Take the folder out of that named ".rockbox" and put it directly into your sd card. Put update_rb.upt directly into sd card as well, and once in there, rename it too update.upt
Next turn on player go to the settings of the main operating system player you'll need to choose the update firmware option. It should upgrade and then you'll have a choice to choose rockbox, the original agptek rocker os and some tools. You might need to shut down player and restart to get the rockbox working though.
If you could look into getting the bluetooth functionality working (which currently doesn't work in rockbox only the original firmware) that would be great.

Thanks -- now I see that I somehow missed that wodz's changes were merged to upstream rockbox, and the docs for what to do with the built files are here:
https://git.rockbox.org/?p=rockbox.git;a=blob;f=tools/agptek_rocker/bootloader_install.sh;h=afe17ab552b5bbc92f4d89c8aacde8809de296dd;hb=HEAD
following on from the instructions here:
https://git.rockbox.org/?p=rockbox.git;a=blob;f=tools/agptek_rocker/README;h=b08d067a7dbb089885b0e2df7f9bdff872dfacb0;hb=HEAD
Does anybody know why update_rb.upt is not hosted on rockbox.org? Because of licensing issues? Or just because it has binary blob components? Licensing would seem odd since AGPTEK appears to be violating the GPL (I wonder what leads them to do that: lack of time seems odd when it's so easy to fork and push on say github).
I guess I should submit a patch to make these install steps easily reachable from the rockbox home page (?)

Sorry, though I did do some stuff with bluetooth once (and I remember it being very complicated!), I'm very non-expert at that sort of thing... and I don't have bluetooth headphones ;-)
If I do anything I'm more likely to try and fix whatever little things seem broken...

AFAIK these binaries (from other companies) cannot be hosted here legally.

That reminds me: When I am in the Bookmark List screen there does not appear to be any way of going straight back to Main Menu. I would expect the Left key to do that (as it is the Right key which takes you from the Main Menu to Bookmarks). At the moment I have to start playing something from Bookmarks, then Pause it and exit to the Main Menu using the Up key.
