Re: Fiio M3k

Updated m3k to the latest stock firmware 1.4.3 and now Rockbox doesn't work.

Hi XVortex,

I would like to know if you plan to do more development for the M3k port? Thank you for your work on this.

[XVortex]

Yes. Rockbox with 1.4.3 wil be released soon.

[Njones]

That's good news. Also, How do you add more theme choices such as "lebellium samsung like"?

[XVortex]

Here is all converted themes (in the Rockbox/Themes folder): https://mega.nz/#F!0wckiIIZ!o_-7wp3aT_ob-EoxsteNqw
To add the theme, copy it content in the .rockbox folder to SD card.
The go to bootloader -> tools and select "Update Rockbox" option.

Just installed the 1.4.3 + rockbox version from your website. Weirdly, no matter which rockbox settings I change, scrolling seems to stop after a full page or so. Shouldn't it continue scrolling and even accelerate when the scroll/nav button is held? (fixed after a reboot) And is holding the power button until the screen flashes twice the proper way to power off the device from rockbox?

BTW, thanks for the port for this device! Never thought I'd be able to rockbox this player...  PEQ and scrobbling ftw.

Thanks for your work on this port! Just installed the latest update, it runs great. Maybe its just me, but it seems like the battery lasts longer now. I still have the ff/RW issue, but everything else works. Even with that, it's still much better than stock.

Another cuestion 

I would like to use podcast and I am using the information from the wiki.

https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/DataBase

I'm trying to modify the /.rockbox/tagnavi_custom.config file but I can't access the file system.

Using the tools I have tried to access with ADB but it doesn't connect and returns to the tools window.

Someone could help me.

Thank you very much.

Really happy with my M3K rockboxed!
Loaded a 256GB SD half filled with FLAC & mp3 files... Flawless experience, only thing I prefer in OF is the quick display blackout with power button 

[Bilgus]

Duceboia how is the button interface, does it work with gloves?

whats the battery life like?

I kinda like the look of the player better than the rocker

[Duceboia]

Bilgus: MK3 is another class paragon with rocker is day ,/ night.
They gave a silicon cover included, so the player don't slip in your hand,
I found very easy operate one handed, I don't use gloves but I think it's feasible.
Scrolling a long list with the semi touch bar is not a thing on the fly (you must look and concentrate a little,) Best 59 € I've spent in a long time.
The last firmware from Fiio is really smooth and usable, if only eq. Was a little better and playlists management (m3u)... Almost no need for rockbox.

[Duceboia]

Battery life is very good 20 hours with Fiio firmware, not much less with rockbox, but I've not runner benchmark only estimating.
Not much power for my Superlux 681 EVO... With Xduuo X3 the same cans really vibrate in club manner at less than 1/2 volume, M3k at 55/60 make me take out Grados or other headphones. Gold marriage with my Tin Audio T2, these iem are mid- highs oriented but with foam tips and little eq kick major a##es on M3k. The DAC function is limited but may be helpful.

How do you delete Rockbox from the M3K

[fossphile]

booting back into fiio firmware usb storage mode works. before i reflashed the newer rockbox firmware usb storage mode did not work any more in ether fiio or rockbox firmware. just didn't go into usb storage mode. i could operate and browse the filesystem. the device does not show in lsblk too btw.

i am very grateful for you porting rockbox to the m3k . thats why i bought it . thanks muchly!
