Add menu option to turn iPod off?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Llorean:
Well, I'd like to know if he's actually pressing the right button to turn the power off. Feature requests don't really belong in the forums anyway, that's what the Feature Requests page is for.

So, because of this, I'm simply trying to resolve his actual problem (having issues turning it off) and ignoring the feature request aspect of it.

Z_God:
Oops you guys are right. I was pressing the wrong stuff. Sorry for the bothering. Also didn't realise there was a feature request page. Sorry for that too.

Still I'm interested in having a menu option for this. Before I also make a stupid feature request: Would it be feasible to add this? Also an option to reboot into diskmode might be handy if it's disabled and maybe an option to reboot into the Apple firmware? I don't know if this is technically possible, which is why I'm asking.

I'm using an official build btw. Thanks for your responses.

ZeRøB:
I think rebooting in DiskMode should be possible, since that also happens when you plug in your USB cord. I don't think it would be possible to make the iPod boot in AppleOS though, but I could be wrong here. It would probably be possible with the combination of another bootloader then the ROCKboot.

Llorean:
Actually, it's possible to have all three of those menu options.
Shutdown, Reboot into Apple, and Reboot into Disk mode.

Somebody I know actually has modified his personal build to have them anyway. ;)

Z_God:
Hmm sounds great. Is there any specific reason this patch isn't in the general Rockbox release?
Would this be appropriate for a feature request?
I tried creating an account there too btw but I never got a confirmation.

I suppose pressing reset in the Apple firmware would boot back to Rockbox?

Don't know for sure if this will work for me though, because I've never used my iPod with anything other then Rockbox. I did try the Apple firmware combo some time, but couldn't get it to work and gave up, so I don't know if it's even on there. The most important thing for myself would be the shutdown option :)
