AGPTEK Rocker
Milardo:
Your welcome, just reply if you need more help getting rockbox itself installed. The first link was a general link to the page where i found that second link which links to the firmware you used.
wodz:
This simply means Agptek caught up with Benji and updater requires new format of version string. There was thread here about it a year or so ago.
Pigoletto:
Thanks, Dromedary and Milardo! I had exactly the same 1.31 Beta problem and using the second link provided by Milardo I seem to have been able to downgrade to firmware 1.2 :)
Now I just need to work out how to add Rockbox, as it won't allow me to boot into it. I'll get reading the rest of the thread, though.
Very grateful!
Best,
P
p.s. if anybody can tell me what Rockbox stuff I now need to add the help would be very welcome. I'm getting on for elderly, and this stuff makes my brain spin... I got the Rockbox folder from the links on the AGPtek page (http://www.agptek.com/index.php/blog/agptek-rocker-firmware-download-2/#) and extracted it to the root directory of the card. I also put the firmware update there (as provided by Milardo above). I went to Settings and told it to update firmware. It did, and it's showing 1.2. However, when I start the MP3 player and it offers me Rockbox and I choose it I get "Cannot boot Rockbox".
I suspect I may be missing something from Rockbox site. Can anybody explain?
Update: Whoop! I think it's working :) In case anybody else comes here looking, what I did was go to the Rockbox development build page (http://build.rockbox.org/) and download the one for the AGPtek. I then extracted the folder from the zip file and copied it to root directory of card. The version I had from AGPtek page was already there so when it asked whether I should overwrite files I said 'yes'. When finished I restarted player, chose Rockbox and it worked :)
This is all a little bittersweet because I bought Bluetooth headphones y/day not realising they wouldn't work with Rockbox. Duh... Not all bad, though, because dual boot means I can boot into the original if I want to use them.
Thank you, all. The internet is wonderful :)

To all interested in BT support, as I stated loooong time ago, please propose mockup of BT ui. I am really bad at ui design and this pushes me off from implementing bt support in rockbox.

Can you give us something UI-less for tests if it's easier to you? As a start it can read config from file I guess (xml or ini or whatever is easier to use from rockbox).
It would also be cool to have this BT API be exposed in lua (for now I think of 5 methods something like: 1) string[] ScanForDevices(), 2) SwitchBt(bool enable), 3) ConnectTo(string device), bool 4) IsBtEnabled(), 5) string GetConnectedDevice()).

I also suck at UI design but let's start from something. So my proposal for Bluetooth sub-menus:
1) Connected Devices
-> 1.1-n)List of connected devices
2) Scan for Devices
-> 2.1-n) List of available devices
3) Enable BT
Entering Connected Devices should show list of recently connected devices (preferably last used device should be on top). On device select we should try to connect to this device (and enable BT if disabled). It should also be possible to remove device from this list.
Entering Scan for Devices should enable Bluetooth (if disabled) and show list of available devices.
Currently connected device should be somehow marked in both lists (can be as simple as prefixing/suffixing name with "*" like "* Device").
Enable BT - ON/OFF switch.
