jClix ipod5g theme

[LD50]

I'm really confused on installing the patches.  I was looking at the wiki and it said you needed to source code, nowhere do I see the sourcecode for your Jbuild.  Not to mention Cygwin isn't installing either.

ok just did that bascule...did the trick...i always thought that option configures the speed of your scroll wheel ^^"

thanks

Just finished porting the jClix theme to the iAudio X5, though I ended up making several changes mostly due to size limitations - so I just called it "Clix".  Julius, thanks so much for your patches, for creating jClix and for all your hard work.  Truly appreciated!

That's. Freaking. Amazing. I'm so putting this on the H10 of my brothers. The 2nd one on the upper left down, amazing. I love that background. That's just amazing.

Hey Jon, awesome wps, I've been using it since I installed rockbox, but a weird thing happened today, I didn't change anything at all and I've been using Senab's build. None of your wps' display the album, artist or track title. It displays the album art and progress, but nothing else. Any ideas? I've done a full restore, tag cache recognizes the album, artist, title, and it's only on your screens, which I've been using for months. I haven't read of anyone else encountering this issue so I'm kinda at a loss. Thanks for any help.

About a month ago, I tried making my own build with the audioscrobbler patch and the patches need to use this theme which was met with several compiling errors.

I gave it awhile to have most of the bugs sorted out. Now, I'd like to try using this theme again.

Is there an order I have to apply the patches like last time, or no?

Hi Guys,

Sorry for being away for this long (again) but anyway, here are some of the answers I have:

I'm in Transilvania but my mother language is Hungarian, so I know Hungarian, Romanian because I have to and English and German because I want to , but I was more than a few times in Hungary especially in Budapest, but I think too that the Tokaj Mountains is one of the best places.

MrMEC
Thanks for the feedback on the tracker, I will have a look into it as soon as possible.

rYugen
I see bascule helped you out with the scrolling thing, so I hope everything is ok now, btw, thanks bascule for your help!

LD50
You don't need my source code, you need the official one from here:
http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/UsingCVS#Downloading_checking_out_the_sou
and after having it you have to start applying the patches found here:
http://pijulius.com/julius/rockbox/patches/
Regarding your cygwin problem, you should have a look on the Rockbox's install instructions, those should help you out.

MrMEC
Congratilation to your X5 port, I like it a lot too, thanks for posting it here!

Landus
Yeah, there is an order to apply the patches, the order is the same way as the patches are named, so starting from 01-09

Thanks guys for all your feedbacks/comments/ports/ideas, I hope you still enjoy the themes

Cheers,
Julius

Just checking in to see if there have been any updates lately. On Senabs site it says that he usually updates his builds every week, but the last one done was a couple weeks ago, or a few. Also, this may sound like a stupid question but, is the actual ROCKbox daily build needed first, or can thie patched build be installed independently ? I ask because, audio playback for me is a bit buggy at times, and I'm wondering if just updating to the latest RB daily build would solve that, along with re-installing the patched build over it.

My assumption is that the patched build only adds to the daily RB build, rather than overwrite the entire thing, though it's only an assumption of course.

Hi Doug,

First I (and maybe we) didn't know about the "make zip" feature on the source code, so you had to have the daily builds first and then you had to overwrite the files from the custombuilds, but now all the custom builds should have the same content as the official ones have, so you shouldn't have to download the daily builds first and then overwrite the files, it is enough the download only the custom builds and copy them on your ipod.

NOTE: the only thing that is not in the daily builds, so it is not in the custom builds are the fonts, so you have to download the daily fonts package to have all the fonts you usually have.

I hope this answers your question.
Cheers,
Julius

Yes, that partially answers my question, not that I made it seem as if it was a multi-part question though.    Then the other question I have is:

1) When the offical builds are updated, do you guys choose specific ones to work with for YOUR updated builds ? I'm only assuming you do, because as certain builds may have little bugs here and there, when the fixes are presented, they'd most likely present good builds for you guys to work with, no ? OR is the official daily build totally redundant for your tasks ?

2) When was the last time you guys updated one of your patched builds ?

Take care,

Doug

edit: #) what exactly is the "make zip" feature ?

Hi Doug,

1) When the offical builds are updated, do you guys choose specific ones to work with for YOUR updated builds ?

OR is the official daily build totally redundant for your tasks ?

I'm not sure about the others, but I think most of us use the daily builds to make the custom builds. For e.g. here is how I do it:
1: I download the latest source from cvs for e.g. today 2006-10-17
2: I apply the patches to the source
3: I build the custom builds
4: I upload to the server and there you go

2) When was the last time you guys updated one of your patched builds ?

Senab is now at college, so he doesn't have the time to make new builds every week as he did before, but he said he will try to find some free time and make some new builds time to time.

I'm not at college, but I have a lot of work to do in my job, but anyway, as I said on the jbuild thread I will try to make a new build every month or so.

Now to the build naming, I always date my builds to the one I used for checking out the cvs source tree from the rockbox server, so for e.g. if I downlod the source code today 2006-10-17 I will name my builds after this date (jbuild-20061017) so you guys know how fresh the build is.

Did the answers please you Doug?  
Cheers,
julius

Did the answers please you Doug?

Sir Julius, I couldn't be more pleased if I had a harum of beautiful exotic women fanning and feeding me in nothing but some skimpy cotton panties !













Wait..... erm,  how about just a simple, "thank you very much" ? Cuz that last one, that's GOT to be pretty damned pleasing eh ?  

Best,
Doug

firstly, thank-you for your AMAZING themes that you're created (namely jblackglass and jclix)

now for the question:
your patches don't seem to compile with the latest CVS builds, are you planning on updating your patches, or should I attempt to do that...

Hi Kratos,

As i said on the jbuild thread, I plan to make new releases this week or weekend, so that also means that the patches will be synched with the cvs too because otherwise I wouldn't be able to do the builds, would i?   but I don't mind if you synch them before me

Managed to successfully use all of Julius patches on an old version of the rockbox source (rockbox-daily-20060930). But I get a make error now, says:

CC drivers/lcd-16bit.c
drivers/lcd-16bit.c: In function `lcd_putsxyofs':
drivers/lcd-16bit.c:753: error: too few arguments to function `font_get_bits'
make[1]: *** [/home/user/rockbox-devel/nano_sim/firmware/drivers/lcd-16bit.o] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

Im using Debian on an XP PC. Any ideas why? I want to make a Nano sim so I can go about converting the JClix to the Nano.
