small army needed - test major patch

(1/11) > >>

JdGordon:
hey all,

Well, I have been working on this patch for the last while and I tihnk it is at the stage where its finished apart from bugs and code cleanup.

What I need is a small army of testers to help find any bugs which I havnt found myself.

What this patch does is completly replace how all settings and most menus are handled in the code, The big thing for users is no more config block settings, so no reset settings when the code gets updated (yippee :D )

So, If you are willing to help out, please grab the patch from the bottom of http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/MenuSettingsRecoding compile it and test it on your target. It has about a dozen warnings which I know about and will fix, but they are not important and its completly safe to run with them.

What to test and look out for:
- every setting needs to be tested, some cannot be updated "live" (i.e volume can, backlight cant)
- look out for the words "Not Done Yet!" in the menus, if you see this make sure u reply with your target and where exactly you saw it.
- any menu/settings that crash.
- any drawing bugs
- any menu items which are not where they should be (or not there at all!)
- any voice bugs in the menu/settings screens

Last thing, the settings will be saved to /.rockbox/config.cfg, and at the moment the config file is incompatible with the current .cfg files, so if you have a /.rockbox/config.cfg you shuold back it up first.
If you want to help out but cannot compile it for yourself, post a reply or pm me and i will  compile it for you.

Thanks all.

JdGordon:
bumping, and letting all know i have attached rockbox.ipod for the nano onto the wiki page for those that need it, if other builds are requested i'll put them there also

soap:
I can test this weekend, but not before.

AlexP:
I tried to build this for the H140, but after the warnings on make (having patched fine), it refused to make zip, saying something like nothing to do.  Sorry for the vague error message, but I'm in front of a different computer at the moment.  I'll be happy to test if you pop a H140 build up there.

JdGordon:
BigBambi: hmm.. that sounds odd... you dont need to make zip tho, you only need to copy rockbox.iriver onto the player, all other files from the .zip are fine from a different build
