Xduoo X3 II

[speachy]

Remove adobe acrobat Reader from computer and then bootloader downloads just fine.

Acrobat should never have tried to take over that file type  (ie ISO9660 filesystem image)

Glad you have it working now though.

Down loaded font pack. Still can't set time, themes only show up as text without album art, no option to change font size and no frequency  setting option.

[Njones]

Can the bootloader be uninstalled and if so, how?

Download and flash the manufacturer's firmware.

[Njones]

ok thanks

[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.

Will there be an option to skip over the xDuoo screen and hiby/tools/rockbox menu and boot directly into rockbox sometime in the future?

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.

That's just my thoughts while waiting for answer from someone with more insight of this port.

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.

Probably should look how it works in Hiby player.

That's an option, but it's mostly just a matter of using the rockbox port and making note of what button choices seem misguided. 

(The X3ii's rockbox keymap was cut-n-pasted from original X3, but the physical repositioning of the buttons means that what worked well for the first X3 might not be ideal)

[Njones]

Did not know about the vol. buttons to adjust time. Who would've thought? Down loaded font pack and using lebellium samsung like theme 240-320. I'm not new to Rockbox. I have these players all Rockboxed: Fuse v1&v2, Clip Zip, Clip+, Agptek Rocker, Fiio M3K. Had a Fuse+ but it did not survive being left outside in the rain even after being put into a bag of rice for several days to dry it out.

I filed a ticket for the (sometimes) missing album art display on the Xduoo X3ii:

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?

Kind of late, but the fix I found for the slow scrolling is to set "Screen Scrolls Out Of View" to "Yes" in General settings -> Display -> Scrolling.

@johnb,
Case sensitivity! Rename Folder.jpg to folder.jpg and they will show up.
