AGPTEK Rocker
breeman:
I'm loving having Rockbox on my AGPTEK Rocker, and despite it still needing work, is serving me very well! I do however, have a few notes of things that need fixing and features I'd like to see. This is by no means intended to pester wodz in getting it updated, I just wanted to share what I've found in testing it out over the past week in hopes that some of it will be fixed/implemented in the future.

If you're playing music, and want to search through your music to queue up more on your playlist, scrolling through a long list of artists/folders tends to freeze a bit unless you slowly scroll one by one. Scrolling while nothing is playing is perfectly smooth with no issues.
Date/Time is missing, so a Rockbox theme that displays the time at the top of the screen will just show --:----
Bluetooth feature is currently missing. (I know this is being worked on)
Plugging in to charge while listening to music works, but seems to stop as soon as it reaches full charge. The System info also doesn't display time remaining for the battery, just percentage.
Can't adjust volume on the system screens, only on the now playing screen.
Volume adjusts at very small increments so you have to hold volume up or volume down for a while to make a significant change.
Can't currently change font/background/selector colors in the theme settings as it seems the buttons haven't been mapped properly for it.
PictureFlow doesn’t work.

Again, I love that I have this on my Rocker now, thanks so much for the great work!

Thanks for pointing out what you found missing/annoying. Unfortunately currently I don't have time to work on rockbox. Hopefully this will change in coming weeks.

Tf cards can appear writable but actually fail to hold any data because there is usually cache being kept on your pc that gets written only after you "safely remove hardware" or umount.

Ding ding ding! That seems to completely describe the behavior I was seeing. I bought a new card (164Gb!), put the .rockbox directory on it and the upt file, started up and applied the update. The player applied the update and then rebooted and brought up the boot selection screen, with the 3 choices for Rockbox, Tools, and the original firmware.
For those playing along at home: when I chose Rockbox, it then displayed an error saying "Cannot boot Rockbox". I tried a couple times, also tried the "Tools" and that failed, then booted the original firmware. But then I shut down and rebooted, chose Rockbox again, and it worked FINE. So I guess it just needed an extra reboot after the update.

What I found annoying was the misbehavior of my effed-up SD card. ::)
Wodz, this port is wonderful. I mean, I've only had it on my player for ~5 mins, only played one song. But Rockbox looks beautiful on it. It suddenly makes this player intuitive as hell, nicely responsive to its buttons, and just all-around awesome. I can't thank you enough for the effort you've put in to make this happen.
Milardo, thank you too, for the work to make the port super easy to apply.
I'm copying over the rest of my songs now. Can't wait to use it!

Hello everybody,
Could I get a piece of advice here?
Before rockboxing my T6 player could play files from 128GB microSD card. I tried 4 different cards of 128GB capacity. None worked. Now I can use only 32GB card. All the cards are formatted for FAT32. What shall I do?
I don't want to come back. I need rockbox.

I noticed this behaviour as well (after each upgrade). So just start the original firmware once after a firmware upgrade, shut the player down and then start Rockbox.
