AGPTEK Rocker

[wodz]

I deliberately do not provide patched .upt. This is grey area. I know that install procedure is cumbersome for Joe Average. It will be addressed in the future. I just don't have time to do this. Basically the idea is to provide binary patch which can be applied to official .upt file.

Does the port work with agptek rocker v2?

[wodz]

Does anybody know if the two Rocker versions are identical? I have the v2. It was my understanding that the only difference between the two are cosmetic (the v2 has rounded corners) but that wasn't a very in-depth review.

As far as I know v1 and v2 are identical hardware wise. v2 is shipped with firmware 1.2 which can be installed on v1 device without problem.

Just bought a rocker v2 getting it today. I've compiled the firmware successfully i believe, had to use the instructions that user yzdev posted for the last part. What if one has different firmware which i saw on the agptek site like 1.4? Does rockbox firmware still work? Do i need to do anything differently? Also, can i share the compiled files here?

Another dumb question for Wodz: Where can I find the rockbox.zip file?

[wodz]

You didn't follow instructions I posted, don't you? Basically I bothered to write README and Dockerfile to not answer such questions.
By the way I did minor corrections in README.

All agptek firmwares are very similar and provided instructions should work for any version (published till now at least).

Also, can i share the compiled files here?

It is up to you. I deliberately do not provide patched builds. This is gray area.

[MrFoxhead]

In fact I wrote that was a dumb question
somehow it skipped my mind that the .zip is built when executing the bootloader_install.sh script.

by the way Milardo yes, the Benjie T6, the Rocker V1 and V2 all share the same hardware and therefore they are compatible with each other firmwares.

Successfully compiled and working rockbox firmware on agptek rocker V2. Here are the files necessary

rockbox.zip

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LI1Xnd-JzHFih3JIkVV3RRnhg62dY5zX/view

update_rb.upt

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wKUaxM4Zxs2850x5jeVBLI4DvbtbQTCJ/view

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 you'll need to choose the update firmware option in agptek rocker settings. It should upgrade and then you'll have a choice to choose rockbox, the original agptek rocker os and some tools. Hope this helps, leave a reply if you need help with the install.

When i get some time i can provide almost complete compiling instructions (at least how i did it)

I'm very interested in this player now that has Rockbox support. Could someone try a battery test with the Rockbox plug-in? The stock player seems to have 10 hours of autonomy and that's a pretty low number for my needs.

[MrFoxhead]

By the way, another thing I noticed is the lack of the USB disk mode.
Is this not yet implemented or straight impossible due to hardware limitations?

Hey everyone, we ask that people not ask for help in development threads. Keep this thread in to development.

Since a lot of people seemed to have missed this, I went through and deleted a bunch of non-development related posts.  Once again, do not post here unless it is actually development related.  If you want to talk about rockbox generally, we have the whole forums, IRC and mailing list for that.

Hi wodz, just wondering as well, can the bass and treble features usually present in rockbox firmware be added to this port?

[wodz]

Yes it is possible to add. It is just not high on my priority list.

[wodz]

Ok, looks pretty easy. Just commited.
