Xduoo X3 II

[johnb]

 So essentially "Tools -> Update Rockbox" copies the content of .rockbox to the internal file system?

[XVortex]

Yes. Exactly.

Hi XVortex,
is it possible to remove sample rate limitation on first version of rockboxed Xduoo X3?

Hi--this is excellent news, since my old clip zip died and I've been bereft of rockbox. Could I just confirm a couple of things before purchasing.

1. does the recording function work as usual on the X3 ii? I use it heavily to take notes while listening to music or audiobooks.

2. does the installation involve only copying the single file on XVortex's site into the .rockbox folder on the SD card? Then: tools --> update. I.e. there's no earlier installation step?

Many thanks for the hard work--

Thanks a lot for this port, I finally have a replacement for my Fuze+ with its horrible touch interface. The only problems I've found for now is that the screen update can get artifacts (I had a lot in the "set time" menu) and that the file list scrolling is VERY slow and can interrupt playing when done for too long; as if there's no dirent caching being done. Any idea?

EDIT: I can't see the "Disk" option under Settings > System. Is this normal?

Recent rockbox version (1c8c71f-190907, on my site) has improved update procedure:

Are there themes that work for the X3II ?

XVortex: I see that there was an updated rockbox firmware in october, thanks a lot for that ! However, the repo at https://github.com/xvortex/rockbox has had no activity since 2017, and the one at https://github.com/wodz/rockbox-wodz/tree/xDuooX3II is also one year old at this time. Where could I find the sources for the very last update ? the X3ii_v1.2_5bbc553-190915.zip file to be precise.

Does this work with Xduoo x3II 1.3 firmware?

[speachy]

I've dusted off the X3II source code dump sitting in wodz's github repo, and have managed to get it banged into sufficient shape to cleanly build (hopefully working) mainline rockbox for the x3ii and x20.

If there's anyone out there that wants to be a guinea pig, please PM me and I'll point you at my WIP builds.   The sooner we get confirmation these builds are fundamentally functional, the sooner it can land in the mainline.

[speachy]

As a general FYI, the X3ii and X20 targets are fully integrated into the mainline and as of this morning, part of the daily build set.

As an added bonus we can also automagically patch the stock factory images (but only on Linux).

I still need to write up a proper wiki page for these targets with instructions and some pre-patched firmware images.

That is great news, speachy. Thank you for your work.

Does the 256GB limit for microSD cards still apply, when usimg Rockbox, like is this a hardware limitation?

AFAIK there is no hardware limitation, though you may need format the SD cards as FAT32 instead of exFAT.

Does this work with the Latest firmware 1.3?

The bootloader code can be patched into any firmware version, but yes, v1.3 has been specifically tested.

I'm still working to enable rbutil to do this patching, but there's no real timeline for that so PM me and I'll toss you a patched firmware image that contains the rockbox bootloader.
