Ipod Photo: Any stable builds lately???

(1/3) > >>

crescentfresh:
I updated recently from the 8-30 build to yesterday's build (and then today's), and my ipod has been freezing on me close to every ten minutes.  Has anyone with a photo had success with any specific builds???

colemab:
I have only been fooling around for rock box for about a mont and a half.

However,  EVERY SINGLE build that I have used (for the ipod photo), has froze on the WPS or gave me a data abort.

IMHO, rockbox on the 4.5g (photo) is worthless.  I can't finish my daily commute with out it crashing (no matter what mp3s I use).

I truely believe that the rockbox developers don't own or care about the 4g people.

Just my 2 cents.

If you do fine a stable build though, I would love to know about it.

Llorean:
Just because it's a bug we cannot fix yet doesn't mean we don't care. Honestly, clearly you care even less than we do, since we're actually *trying* to fix it, and all the effor you're making is complaining about it without doing anything constructive.

As well, a work-around that works the vast majority of the time has existed since pretty much the day the bug was discovered: Compile a build with CPU frequency changing disabled, or just manually set the boost count up by one in the debug screen.

While this is something that will never be compiled into the official build (as we'd like to actually *fix* the problem, rather than ignore it and avoid it at the cost of even more battery life) it will serve to make your 4G iPod much more usable.

Oh, and you're an idiot. If you don't like rockbox, then don't use it. If you want it to be better, then become a developer, or at least a helpful user.

Llorean is right about it being a bad idea to compile this fix into the official build. However, since it's unlikely that people like you will ever file a useful bug report, so feel free to use the unofficial version.

crescentfresh:
FYI, The September 1st build has been very good to me.  It still freezes every once in a while, but nowhere even close to the freezing every 10 minutes or so I was experiencing with some of the builds from later in the month.
