Njones:
I think I will wait until rock box utility is available and album art is displayed and time date can be adjusted and a frequency setting is available. Also Bluetooth. Keep up the good work!

Bilgus:
you know without people testing builds that'll be a longer time

What's your issue with time exactly? It seems working fine for me. Time adjusted by VOL+ and VOL- buttons in case that was your issue. Kinda not very obvious and probably need to add some hints though.
As avs2000 already mentioned to be able to change font you need to download and unpack to your player fonts collection from here.
Album art also works if you install theme that supports it. The one that currently bundled in upt-files from speachy is just a basic stub. Try Acuity theme for example. Or go to themes catalogue, sort by "LCD size", look for 240x320 size then pick download and install theme you like.

Frequency setting and Bluetooth need work, yes. But I say that this port in a pretty useful state despite not being as feature-rich as original firmware and some things are rather far from out of box.

To my understanding devs prefer to always keep original firmware intact in case it may contain some unexpected or hidden workarounds for bugs in hardware. It probably will possible but in some unofficial "at your own risk" way. That's regarding hiby/tools/rockbox screen. About first xDuoo screen I think that it is part of core loading so I doubt that it is even skippable. Although it would be really cool to at least be able to change loading image.
That's just my thoughts while waiting for answer from someone with more insight of this port.

No effort has been made to tune the keymap.  Or to document what's implemented, for that matter.  Patches welcome!

There are two distinct logo screens, the first is baked into the early device bootloader code that we have no control over, but the second is a series of PNGs in the OF root filesystem, and can be replaced.  Rockbox only tweaks the filesystem enough to add in the custom rockbox chooser as part of a "minimal change" philosophy, but there's no reason why someone can't put whatever startup images they want on there.

I should mention that I (or any other semi-active rockbox developer) don't actually own one of these X3ii (or X20) DAPs, so any improvements specific to those two players isn't terribly likely.  Again, patches welcome.

Is there some kind of feature matrix to test against? So far I haven't found any bugs (despite mentioned early UTF-8 file name problem) but I'm sure I use only small part of Rockbox features. It'll be much easier to test with a list of features to test. And regarding keymap would also help to have example of already tuned port with similar key placement as I'm really not sure how to improve current keymap. Ring of cursor keys like on AGPTEK Rocker looks so much more intuitive for Rockbox than this player's keyboard. Probably should look how it works in Hiby player.
Anyway I see what I can do.
