Rockbox for AGPTek/Ruizu MP3 players?

[Karl1116]

In the near future, would it be possible for you guys to make a Rockbox utility for the AGPTek Longevity 1.5 or Ruizu MP3 players?  They look like this:

I had a feeling I'd get that answer.  Well, thank you for your time.

Because of the hardware limit, this model couldn't be ported with Rockbox. AGPTek will develop a new model for Rockbox. I'm an AGPTek guy.

Can you give some info about this new model? when it will be available? what is the price range and characteristics?

We still are working on this issue. We aim at players below $50, but the low cost chip seems not quite suitable for rockbox. Can you give some advice? Thanks.

Indeed I know of  a few others who have Sansa devices which are now either dying (batteries/jacks) or dead.
With no RockBox capable 'current' clip style dedicated multi-format players in sight, I'm watching this thread with interest.

What about Agptek G05W? This is very similar looking to sansa clip.

Hi, I've been following this on and off for a while since having done some surgery on my Clip Zip and seeing the writing on the wall regarding its expected lifespan. I got a "Chenfec C50" which is apparently the same as an "AGPTeK A50", it's essentially the same form factor and feature set as the Clip Zip, with the addition of Bluetooth and more on-board storage. Also it's far below $50. I just spent a lot of time flashing it with AGPTeK firmware, so I thought I'd share: The lode of firmware for all the AGPTeK players is here: https://images.agptek.us/Download/ (found from https://www.agptek.com/blog/agptek-a50-firmware-upgrade). Each firmware zip appears to have the flasher utility included (Windows only).

The interface is still rather clunky and not nice to look at, so I still miss Rockbox on the Clip Zip.
