Hi, hunterleo,Theoretically yes, however, rocker hasn't been ported with Rockbox yet.
So, can rockbox os work on this player?
I don't have the device yet.
I don't have the device yet.
Want one?
I will first wait a few days see if AGPTek can send me one ;)
Is it safe to say that Rockbox will be fully functional on this device? (Have to decide whether to send my G05 back)
Didn't the manufacturer seek out the most prominent Rockbox developers, specifically discussing what hardware to incorporate regarding the Rocker, in order to ensure full compatibility with Rockbox?Sure, but it is as yet unconfirmed. Who knows how successful they were, or how completely the build team bought into the sales guy's suggestions, or what compromises had to be made to keep costs manageable? Etc etc.
http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php/topic,51071.0.html
I see, so as of yet we don't even know if the suggested, compatible hardware has actually been implemented in the final product. Have you guys heard anything from pamaury since February 4th?
I was leaning towards sending it back, in favor of the Rocker, but now that I've learned that a successful port isn't even guaranteed I am really lost.
What exactly are we to gather from this brief exchange between devs, is the current status rather positive or negative?
He will port rockbox as an app, ie running on the linux kernel installed on the device.Does that mean that connections to bluetooth devices will still work - even when using rockbox?
That would be going into high-end territory.He will port rockbox as an app, ie running on the linux kernel installed on the device.Does that mean that connections to bluetooth devices will still work - even when using rockbox?
That'd be very good! :)
BTW, it'd also be good if AGPTek could build a similar device - but with bigger and better screen (at least 320x240) and maybe with two SD card slots...
...and of course which is also focused on supporting ROCKbox ;)

Like the FiiO X5 and some others.
Consider this as early beta. If you dare to try please leave me feedback.
Have you unzipped rockbox.zip to the root of SD card?
I don't quite understand your statement. SD is mounted under /mnt/sd_0 if this is what you mean.
Aaah, yes I forgot about this minor inconvenience, sorry. I'll try to clean things a bit in the near future. Stay tuned.
Volume change does work its just steps are really tiny (0.5dB). Power button does work by itself. There is bug somewhere which causes rockbox app crash on power down though. I didn't have time to debug this yet. Bluetooth is possible (at least playing to bt headset). I did some experiments but nothing is implemented yet. Before adding functionality I'd like to make install procedure more user friendly, squash remining bugs and merge this port upstream. Then I'll explore BT stuff.
Keymap need more work probably. Anyway I think keylock is mapped to POWER when in WPS (while playing screen).

Then copied the created files to SD card and proceeded as given in lines 122-127 of bootloader_install.shDoes anybody know if the two Rocker versions are identical? I have the v2. It was my understanding that the only difference between the two are cosmetic (the v2 has rounded corners) but that wasn't a very in-depth review.
Just bought a rocker v2 getting it today. I've compiled the firmware successfully i believe, had to use the instructions that user yzdev posted for the last part. What if one has different firmware which i saw on the agptek site like 1.4? Does rockbox firmware still work? Do i need to do anything differently?
Also, can i share the compiled files here?

but fdisk -l doesn’t list it and fdisk /dev/sdc reports "fdisk: unable to open /dev/sdc: No medium found"FAT32 partition. I’ve tried a different card with multiple partitions (FAT16 with rockbox), same results.Did you perform full update (aka. updating bootloader with .upt file as well as unpacking rockbox.zip)?
Instructions for install:
Extract the folder out of rockbox.zip Take the folder out of that named ".rockbox" and put it directly into your sd card. Put update_rb.upt directly into sd card as well, and once in there, rename it too update.upt
Next you'll need to choose the update firmware option in agptek rocker settings. It should upgrade and then you'll have a choice to choose rockbox, the original agptek rocker os and some tools. Hope this helps, leave a reply if you need help with the install.
Hi,
I had a few problems as well with that. What is your sd card formatted as? Did you download the files that i uploaded or did you compile/build them yourself.? You might have to reformat the card. I actually put the two files in my sdcard using windows 10 os.
[1511695.530849] FAT-fs (sdb1): Volume was not properly unmounted. Some data may be corrupt. Please run fsck.

Can you try to get a different sd card (if you want) to see if rockbox can run on your player? ... might want to format it in the agptek rocker then add some mp3 files as well as .rockbox folder and the update.upt file.
... but formatting might help get rockbox working.Ok.
Alright, this behavior is more complex than I originally reported.So at this point when I turn on the player, and then browse to settings - update firmware, it says there is no update.
- I plug the Rocker into my laptop, with the player OFF.
- The screen lights up with the Rocker name, and after some number of seconds it switches over to a USB logo and says "computer connected"
- At that point I go to terminal in my laptop, and CD over to the SD card root
- I copy over the update.upt (the .rockbox folder is still present). I check the filename; and this time I made sure it had X permissions
- I eject the player
- After a moment the player displays the Rocker name, and then says "updating music files" and counts up, to however many thousand songs I have on the card
- That takes a couple mins. Then the player goes to its main screen. If I don't tough it right away, it shuts down
Just now I tried it, but after the player finished updating the music files and shut down, I did NOT turn on the player. Instead I plugged it back into my computer. The upt file is gone! It's already gone. So whatever process reads my SD card and build its database, that process is already deleting my upt file before the player shuts down.
Do you have the player powered on, when you plug it into your computer?
wodz: is there anything you need to debug this mass storage thing?
I would think it is more likely that the file was never actually written to the tf card instead of it being mysteriously deleted. Tf cards can appear writable but actually fail to hold any data because there is usually cache being kept on your pc that gets written only after you "safely remove hardware" or umount.
Thanks for pointing out what you found missing/annoying.
For those playing along at home: when I chose Rockbox, it then displayed an error saying "Cannot boot Rockbox". I tried a couple times, also tried the "Tools" and that failed, then booted the original firmware. But then I shut down and rebooted, chose Rockbox again, and it worked FINE. So I guess it just needed an extra reboot after the update.I noticed this behaviour as well (after each upgrade). So just start the original firmware once after a firmware upgrade, shut the player down and then start Rockbox.
I've noticed that while playing and the screen goes dark, I can still faintly (very faintly) see the now playing screen.
Possible battery drain?
Hello chaps,
With b9467e9347ba390bbd9b66e6581c50717a0beaef USB mode should work correctly. You need to perform full upgrade (.upt as well as rockbox.zip). I have only card formated as fat32 and with partition table so if you have exfat card and/or superfloppy formated please give me some feedback.
I also looked at problems with booting rockbox after upgrade. This is because OF upgrade procedure deletes /mnt/sd_0 directory (mountpoint for SD). It is recreated on first OF boot. It seems to depend on OF version if this dir is deleted or not during upgrade.
I also noticed Rockbox cannot detect when the headphone jack is removed. No matter how "Pause on Headphone Unplug" is set to, it doesn't detect it. This leads to having music played in the background for hours and a very quick battery drain
- There's no clock
- When the Rocker was scanning my card for music it didn't show any progress; my Clip Zip would show an increasing number, he Rocker stays at 0, seemingly frozen, it eventually responded to input again after it was done with the scan
- I won a game of solitaire and got a seg fault error, it showed a white screen with the address 0x77c0d000, it happened on every win a second or so after the cards do the bouncy thing
- Picture flow says it couldn't create a directory (showing where said directory would go inside of the .rockbox one
- Solitaire settings are reset each time the plugin starts, saved games resume just fine
- Aside of the blue/green-ish colors someone else mentioned, Rockboy ran BEAUTIFULLY, fixable by using the modified rockboy plugin by alcaier from here (http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php/topic,52237.msg241829.html#msg241829)

I'm using the AGPTEK Rocker V2 (the one with rounded edges), running 1.2 original firmware and Rockbox version b9467e9347-180409.
The Original Firmware properly detects the headphone unplug and it pauses right after tho.

In commit f18e4d5d56e5a1b1cba90ab29e86cd2295e0cd52 I implemented RTC support.
I don't have access to my player for some time so please post here feedback.
You only need to substitute .rockbox folder on SD with one from rockbox.zip compiled with this change. No need for full upgrade.

Is there a way to backup the firmware for the Benjie T6? My T6 came with the Firmware ver 1.07Beta.
I was also planning to install the AGPtek Version 1.2, but is there any great noticeable difference between the AGPtek and the Benjie?
Please feel free to either make use of this or ignore it, but it's made the player usable with low impedance IEMs at low volumes for me, when it was painfully noisy before, so I figured I'd share this, as I didn't see any such option implemented yet (my apologies if I just overlooked something). Would be very cool to add a "gain" setting in the sound menu!
(end of snippet)Awesome stuff.

It works. The single step is tiny however.can not be improved?
It does not seem possible to use Rockbox while it is charging. Is this a known issue?
Also, when recharging Rockbox never reports more than 90% charged even after several hours?
Thanks for the tip.It does not seem possible to use Rockbox while it is charging. Is this a known issue?

Could you be more specific about not possible to use Rockbox while charging? If you mean charging without entering usb mass storage mode simply hold select while plugging cable.
If someone run battery_bench plugin and provide results I can correct this.
As of reported charge, voltage of the battery is reported by underlying OS (linux). It does not report SOC (state of charge). The mapping of voltage<->percentage of charge available is totally uncalibrated and assumed linear from 3.4 to 4.2V which simply is not true for li-ion. If someone run battery_bench plugin and provide results I can correct this.
Hey. The same problem as in the photo. The folder ".rockbox" is put in the root of the SD card and there is "update", but nothing works :c

I tried to do the same with the original firmware, as advised vodz. But it did not help. First I install Shenzhen Benjie BJ-T6 V1.04Beta Firmware. After I put it in the root folder of the .rockbox and uptate (I formatted my SD, so I have nothing there). The same mistake. The first file is the original firmware, the remaining 2 that I put in the root1) put modified update.upt in the root of SD
Hi guys,
I am also thinking on getting a Benjie T6 now that there is Rockbox support (the battery of my old Clip Zip is giving up).
Those reports on battery duration are a bit worrisome, but it wasn't clear to me if you are testing using bluetooth or if you are using wired headphones. I expect the duration using bluetooth much less and I am interested in how long it last using just wired headphones.
I guess that duration also depends on what file you are playing as some audio formats might be heavier in CPU and memory card reading. If i remember correctly the Sansa Clip Zip has a 290mAh battery, and the Benjie T6/Rocker has a 600 mAh, so it is disappointing to know that it last less than the clip zip with double battery size!
One more doubt: do you know if the Benjie T6 has the exact same battery than the Rocker (same manufacturer)?
Thank you in advance
Yes, both are present but I haven't ever tested those actually
Just to get you informed - Agptek Rocker port got merged upstream.WOOO HOOOOO!!!!!
Does rockbox support bluetooth?No. It is possible but not implemented yet.
To install rockbox I should follow these steps right :
1) put modified update.upt in the root of SD
2) put .rockbox folder in the root of SD
3) Boot *hiby player*
4) Shutdown player
Then to upgrade rockbox I just need to download the latest rockbox build and replace the .rockbox folder?
Do you think ot will be possible to add it to the officiale rockbox installer?Sure it is. Its just someone has to do the work. My free time very limited unfortunately.
Running the latest git code (20bdfa82) and there are some issues. My question is where I should report them -- in the forums (this thread?), In the flyspray tracker (no AGPTek Rocker entry there yet), the main mailing list, or where?I think forum is the best for now.
* Wonky keymaps in some placesI am open to improvements suggestions. Ideally a patch.
* volume control steps are very gradualYes, steps are 0.5dB. Personally I find it usefull to have fine grained control but users seem to disagree.
* LCD doesn't seem to update when skipping or seeking tracks, but does when pausing/playing.Interesting. I didn't spot this. Will check.
* Need to expose output gain selection (to select between HP and Line out)I don't understand. AFAIK it only has HP output not line out.
Regarding the volume steps see http://gerrit.rockbox.org/r/#/c/1555/. I made the comment about the hack respectively missing a clean and global solution.706e31b should fix this without hack.

FWIW, we usually aim for a 1 dB step size in the audio drivers if the hardware is capable of it. The rationale is that 1 dB is approximately the smallest step size that most people will notice without careful concentration.
I misspoke -- basically, while in the WPS, the screen doesn't update until/unless a button is pressed.

Just downloaded the latest dev build, however for people that are new this rockbox port, it doesn't seem to include the update_rb.upt file which is supposed to be named update.upt? Is it still necessary to do this? Also is there a webpage for the agptek rocker which includes the instructions for upgrading to rockbox?update_rb.upt is ONLY needed to install bootloader (usually ONLY once). We will not distribute patched original firmware images for legal reasons. I have plan to significantly simplify process of update_rb.upt generation but I don't have much time to work on this.
Found it:

Doesn't seem to include instructions for rockbox installation or update?

There are reports that you need to use adb older than 1.0.37 on PC. Personally I use 1.0.32 without problems. Another thing is that you cannot use ADB and run original firmware. Hiby player seems to intentionally overwrite android usb gadget settings breaking adb.

Ok, run adb shell and then issue echo 1 > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/blank. This should blank the screen obviously. Write 0 to unblank. Report if this works.echo 1 - backlight off, screen still displays (usb plug image) and stops refreshing (time on status bar).

echo 0 - backlight on, screen is frozen (still displays usb image), can blindly navigate and play music.
So something is wrong with linux driver then. Besides it is strange you can easily see something on lcd with backlight off. Could you try to upgrade OF to 1.4 (patched with rockbox bootloader of course)?

I didn't spot this pop/click but I don't use Rocker daily. Anyway I am afraid there is nothing I can do about this.
There's a click that happens ~3s after pausing playback. Its intensity is unaffected by the selected output volume. It's probably due to the codec's amp being powered down after a period of silence, most likely by logic in the kernel's driver. Changing the output port to something other than '2' (ie headphone) produces an immediate click/pop, so that approach won't work either.
So we're basically boned without the kernel sources (or the ability to roll our own..)Has anyone attempted to get them from AGPtek or Benjie?EDIT: Saw that neither is cooperating. A pity.
* Holding down select when plugging it into a PC still results in the SD card being remotely mounted/accessible, even while rockbox is still actively playing. This causes ...problems.
I tried on my player and I don't get any pop. Do you happen to use very sensitve headphones?
I guess this is with ADB enabled in bootloader. Try without enabling adb and report back if you still see this.

setting gain from 3 to 0 helps a little bit with noise
A couple of days ago I was interactively mucking with the gain settings (using amixer via adb) and it looked like only the values 1-7 had any effect -- eg set it to 7, then set it to 0, and the output doesn't change, but setting it to 1 had an immediate effect. Can you see if this is the case for you as well?
amixer set 'CS42L51 Gain' 0
- no change.amixer cset numid=3 value
value from 0 to 7 works.
I hear a pop after pause only on right channel.Now after tinkering with amixer I hear pop on both channels.
Hi everybody! I find a bug. In all versions of rockbox screen always on, only backlight is off. You can see this problem on bright ligt, pictures still on screen ang if you choose a theme with moving pictures (jumping equaliser) you'll see mowing pictures when screen(should be, but not) off.

Let me guess - Benjie T6?
Sorry for posting this, possibly a bit off topic. Forgive me! But I'm really hoping bluetooth will get enabled for this soon - I'm waiting eagerly. I have a new car that doesn't have an aux jack, but this player works with it quite well. And having rockbox on it would really make it complete - I've had rockbox on all my various DAPs since about 2003. So, any support I can give - just let me know. I'm not a coder, but I'm an excellent tester, and will happily buy pizzas and beer if that'll help. Thanks!There is libasound_module_pcm_bluetooth.so and libasound_module_ctl_bluetooth.so on the system. I have no experience on alsa but this is pretty generic linux stuff e.g. https://github.com/mikebrady/shairport-sync/issues/200 . I think wodz figured out how to make aplay work with this module. I think once one gets aplay to work with it you could modify rockbox to read alsa output device from file and then use a script to modify this file with bluetooth device mac. Ugly but I think it would be sufficient absent better ideas.

Last week, Thurs or Fri, I was cooking dinner while playing my Rocker thru my external speakers, when it ran out of charge and "died". After finishing dinner, I plugged a charging cable into it, and an error notification popped up. I didn't worry about it, figured it had stopped in an error condition and would reboot fine when it was charged up. Next morning the error screen was still displaying, but I barely glanced at it, just unplugged and turned the player off. When I powered up, the normal bootloader choice appeared, but when I chose Rockbox it said it could not boot Rockbox. I tried a few times. It did boot into the "Hiby player" just fine, but not into Rockbox. When I booted into the original firmware, it couldn't find any of my music. When I plugged the player into my computers, it would charge, but the player would not be detected by the computer. I tried it on a laptop running RHEL7, and on a desktop running Windows 7. Neither machine detected that anything was plugged in, though the player itself said it was "connecting to computer", and it started to charge. I took out my microSD card and put it back in, no joy. Eventually on Sunday I bit the bullet. I used the orginal firmware to restore factory settings. I used original firmware to re-format my microSD card. Copied the update_rb.upt file over (I had it stored on one of my computers), and I unzipped the Rockbox dev build from here. Booted original firmware, turned off, then booted Rockbox. Success! Recopied all of my music over, which took an hour or so. Now player seems as good as "new", ie good as originally Rockboxed. |
Now I'm trying to get Rockbox running on it. First of all, I have a question about the build procedure on github ( https://github.com/wodz/rockbox-wodz/tree/agptek-rocker/tools/agptek_rocker/ (https://github.com/wodz/rockbox-wodz/tree/agptek-rocker/tools/agptek_rocker/) ) - I have to provide an existing update.upt from the manufacturer and then it's gonna get patched, right?Yes, you need to provide original update file and it will be patched with bootloader. This is one time process.
Another thing is that while I'm struggling with manual build I've decicded to try the prebuild update files, there's one at head-fi ( https://www.head-fi.org/threads/the-shenzhen-benjie-bj-t6-agptek-rocker.834797/ (https://www.head-fi.org/threads/the-shenzhen-benjie-bj-t6-agptek-rocker.834797/) ) and another on russian 4pda forum ( https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=900933 (https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=900933) ). Neither of those worked for me, I get "Insert TF pls", "Updater V 1.1" and "v_v Failed".Direct this questions to people providing those update files.
I dunno if this anecdote is useful to anyone. Something during normal usage cycle "fried" (technical term) my microSD card, and required reformatting and reinstall of Rockbox to restore to service. But I don't know what the "something" was. Also it didn't brick the card, I was able to reformat and continue using the card. Just lost all the data. Wish I had paid more attention to that original error message, captured it.Its a pitty you didn't note what error it was. Anyway if bootloader popped up it would be enough to run checkdisk on SD card/reformat it and unzip rockbox on it. Flashing patched update.upt is only needed to inject bootloader. Anyway FAT filesystem is rather sensitive to power outages.
...if bootloader popped up it would be enough to run checkdisk on SD card/reformat it and unzip rockbox on it. ... Anyway FAT filesystem is rather sensitive to power outages.I didn't know that. Thanks.
Its a pity you didn't note what error it was.Yes.
Ok, so I was able to patch update.upt. But I'm still not able to flash it, since I could not find any firmware that would flash on my unit. I get the same "Insert TF pls", "Updater V 1.1" and "v_v Failed" every time. Tried 2 different cards formatted by the player.
No, none of the unpatched firmwares work.
I am looking for help how to organize BT ui in rockbox and how it should operate (I am really bad at UI design). ... Something else?
Maybe view known devices list?
I can't reproduce on my Agptek, sorry.Turn on bright light and look at the bottom of the screen at an acute angle
Mockups and comments welcome (BTW. I find agptek firmware UI pretty confusing when setting up BT).
I'll echo NotableFrizi's request for supporting non-zero PINs. Not sure if that's fixable without bypassing the hiby "system server" bluetooth glue and doing it using native linux commands.
I have installed Rockbox but sometimes it fails to load the os. (after a couple reboots it seems ok now) -- why?
And now playing problems from Rockbox:
- playback occasionally creates a burst of static before a song starts
- the playlists still don't work properly; the m3u files in the \Playlists folder do not work, but those in the \Music folder do
- powering down sometimes shows some kind of fault... but it flashes too quickly for me to see what it says
Finding helps about the following issues :'(

Thank you so much for all your answers! Sorry I haven't checked the posts before.
I'm a newcomer here, and still need some time to figure out how this forum works!
At last, I would like to know if anyone feel uncomfortable with the volume control with AGPTEK ROCKER just like me, it is very slow, I mean, when holding the button, it should also gradually accelerate how quickly it changes.
Can I hope this will update in the future firmware?
ffmpeg -i input.m4a -vn -codec:a copy output.m4a
output.m4a plays fine on the Benjie T6.So what is the runtime with your device exactly? Have you run the battery_benchmark plugin?
So what is the runtime with your device exactly? Have you run the battery_benchmark plugin?I forgot to run the battery bench for the first hour of playback but in the bench I got 6 hours and 34 minutes of mixed flac, opus and mp3 v0 playback. So I got around 7 hours and 34 minutes of playtime.

Mine was adquired on AliExpress too. I already messaged the seller, so we might have some info soon.
I also messaged the seller about this problem, and their response was that 1.08b was the latest firmware, and thus it was not necessary to upgrade.
I have a limited window to open a dispute, and will start the process if we can't resolve this problem.I'm on same boat than this mate. All in all I would be able to use it as normal player, althought I didn't buy it for that. Also there's people on the AliExpress page who put rockbox on it so we should be able to.
You may have better luck attempting to get a downloadable 1.08b firmware image from Benjie, as it stands to reason that folks with older T6 firmware would want to upgrade.Maybe this is our best option. We could even try to go 1.06 and 1.2 afterwards.

@pizza
The idea behind the 1.2 firmware is that even if I can not get Rockbox on it, I would still like to have the latest firmware so I can enjoy updated codecs and stuff.

The 1.2 firmware is the latest for the Rocker, not the Benjie T6. That the firmware files were interchangeable between the units was fortunate, but nothing that was ever guaranteed, and indeed looks like it is longer the case.
(Heck, this could have easily been done at AGPtek's request -- after all, it's clear that AGPtek has invested a lot more in firmware improvements, and they understandably want folks to buy AGPtek hardware in order to utilize it..)
It's a shame there's no simple way (ie not requiring disassembly and minor soldering) to dump out the flash contents.
Hello,
I just bought à Rocker and would like to experiment with Rockbox.
I managed to follow the instructions and used the Docker to generate the upt file and rockbox.zip.
However before I do the big jump, it is not quite clear how to revert to the old firmware in case something goes wrong ?
All relevant post I found are related to Sansa Clip.
Thanks
Thanks a lot.
Then I did the update and it updated without problem.
The 2 first time boot, I got a message that Rockbox cannot boot. And the third time it worked.
So far it seems to work, except that I cannot use the power button to switch if off. It seems that the power button is behaving like a "Go Back" button.
So I have to hold it down to force shutdown.
Perhaps it is the way Rockbox is behaving ? Anyway I will then go over another topic to ask about Rockbox behavior.
Without someone skilled with 'unupgradable T6' at hand acting up we really don't know why it doesn't want to accept updates. I am even not sure it doesn't accept only Agptek updates or updates in general (Did Benjie ever published update image for T6?). Gaining access to serial console is pretty simple (soldering 3 wires to test points + 3.3V usb-to-serial converter) if they didn't removed support for this. From there it is pretty easy to extract recovery firmware. I can help if someone with 'faulty' T6 is willing to take the risk.

Joe Average here! I just bought the Rocker and am pretty happy with the original software.1) Yes rockbox works on Agptek Rocker
However, I miss Rockbox (from the Cowon X5 and Sansa Clip+ days). I browsed the forums with regard to the Rocker but am still not 100% sure:
- Does Rockbox work on the Rocker already?
- Can Joe Average install it already? I'm not a developer but can usually follow power user instructions.
- My device came with firmware ver 1.2. Is that a problem (how do I tell if my device is upgradeable)?
Any help or pointers would be appreciated!
Got it to boot Rockbox once. Changed SD card to one with music on it and now rockbox won't boot. Gives the option for rockbox but says it can't boot.
Are more themes going to be available?
If you can't upgrade benjie t6 to agptek rocker firmware you should download and install older version firmware agptek rocker and then make upgrade to last version. For upgrade use combination of buttons on/off and volume down.
Unless I am mistaken, only underst0rm has managed to do this successfully by opening up the device, soldering access through serial console, and making a date fix.
My fingers are crossed that (sometime in the near future) something will be figured out that will allow flashing from the device.

I seem to have a problem though starting playback from a bookmark. Just takes me to the Delete? Y or N screen?Realised that it is bookmarks created on a FLAC file that cannot be used to restart playback. The mpa files of three hour and more radio programmes (extracted from satellite TV recordings on my Freesat PVR) work with Bookmarks properly which is actually what I want them for. So while it would be nice to have bookmarks usable on my music collection in FLAC format not an essential - I could always go back to the mp3 formatted version of my music library if it did start to annoy me.
Hey! I've had Rockboxed stuff for a while (about 6 years or so) but I just bought a Rocker (upgraded with 1.2 firmware) the other day since I really wanted a modern Rockbox player.
I was very happy to see it working, let me tell you. However, I've noticed some quirks so I decided to let you know about them.
Bear in mind that this stuff doesn't bug me for the most part, but are mostly nitpicks (from most to least important):
- I have to select Rockbox from a menu every time I turn the player on. Is there some way to have it go straight to Rockbox?
- The player hangs up when trying to leave some of the applications and demos, but more importantly it does so whenever I try to update the database or scan for album art. I have a fairly large music collection (a 200gb microSD card) so I don't know if it's either that or something with the software. So for now I can only play through folders. :-\
- Files don't fully disappear after I delete them.
- I tried to save before quitting "jewels", but it resets to play a new game when you resume.
- A lot of the 128x160 themes didn't fully work, at least for me.
- Doom gets a "Missing Base WAD" error when I try to start it up.
That's all for now. I know that as development goes on these will be ironed out, but I'm just giving some input to what I've found!
What themes did you get working?
Was there anything with larger album art?
My assumption was that we could only use the ones that were bundled.
AFAIK wired control is impossible (missing support in underlying linux). BT controls might work but first BT support needs to be implemented in rockbox.
- I have to select Rockbox from a menu every time I turn the player on. Is there some way to have it go straight to Rockbox?
I'd like to know too. I planned to upgrade my Sansa Fuze+ to an AGPtek Rocker, but if this is correct and there is no way to get the device to boot straight to Rockbox, this would be a deal breaker for me.
- Get your rockbox zip, I got mine from a link on this very thread, but I guess the right move to do is to get it from the release page (http://www.rockbox.org/download/)

Rockbox stops playing when usb charger is connected. Is there a setting to allow it to play when plugged in?
turn on the player, then hold down the center button, connect the charging cable, listen to the music (-;
Personally I am against using 2-keys-combo for locking when simple power is available and consistent with OF and general smartphone feeling.Thanks for you work.
Yes, it is possible. I tested playback to bt headphones. Unfortunately can't remember details - it was quite some time ago.
I've browsed through this thread I think from start to finish several times, but I'm unsure what the install steps are as of today.
1. Does one still start here? https://github.com/wodz/rockbox-wodz/tree/agptek-rocker/tools/agptek_rocker (https://github.com/wodz/rockbox-wodz/tree/agptek-rocker/tools/agptek_rocker)
2. Once one has output from that build process (patched update.upt and rockbox.zip), what does one do with them? I feel like the best answer would be a link rather than a description, because the latter might prompt further questions. Perhaps that link should then be added to the end of the page above?
Sorry to ask here: I'd ask elsewhere, but I don't see any discussion re AGPTEK Rocker elsewhere, only requests not to post here :-/ In my defence: if I can get the thing installed and working well enough to have hope it's workable for me, I might well make some patches / PRs, I'm a programmer but not an embedded programmer so I'm clueless with dumping flash memory and whatever else it is you wizards do.
Hi, do you have an agptek rocker or benjie t6?AGPTEK Rocker.
1. I think that is only useful if you want to build the patched update.upt file yourself or you can download precompiled update.upt file by me.Thanks -- now I see that I somehow missed that wodz's changes were merged to upstream rockbox, and the docs for what to do with the built files are here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wKUaxM4Zxs2850x5jeVBLI4DvbtbQTCJ/view
If you could look into getting the bluetooth functionality working (which currently doesn't work in rockbox only the original firmware) that would be great.Sorry, though I did do some stuff with bluetooth once (and I remember it being very complicated!), I'm very non-expert at that sort of thing... and I don't have bluetooth headphones ;-)
Does anybody know why update_rb.upt is not hosted on rockbox.org?AFAIK these binaries (from other companies) cannot be hosted here legally.
If I do anything I'm more likely to try and fix whatever little things seem broken...That reminds me: When I am in the Bookmark List screen there does not appear to be any way of going straight back to Main Menu. I would expect the Left key to do that (as it is the Right key which takes you from the Main Menu to Bookmarks). At the moment I have to start playing something from Bookmarks, then Pause it and exit to the Main Menu using the Up key.
Will The Rocker ever be included on the Rockbox installer?I believe the problem is that we don't have a portable (ie capable of running on Windows) method of unpacking and re-packing the original AGPTek firmware update images.
Yes, it is possible. I tested playback to bt headphones. Unfortunately can't remember details - it was quite some time ago.Did you have a chance to check your notes on this? I'd really love going to Rockbox on the Benjie, but working bluetooth is key for me.
...
I tried to connect to the unit with ADB, after installing the driver (manually) I was able to start a shell. I am no ADB expert, used it twice before, the display seemed weird, here is a sample output of the command 'ls'

Other "problems" reported on this thread:
Static/click sound: I haven't noticed it with while using my cheap KOSS earbuds or my "higher end" Beyer Dynamic BT 770 80ohm
lcd screen on/off: I can still see the screen with the backlit off, but you need a good light source to notice it. tried the echo 1, echo 0 command, I can still see it. I don't believe it's a real issue though.
Seems like a long post, I joined the forum 2 days ago to hopefully help the developers.
I was overwhelmed with joy when I found out that there was support for new players.
I would like to give my eternal gratitude to wodz for continuing his work on this player.
Cheers !
I just noticed that yes under a good light source and by tilting the player, one can see the icons and everything on the screen, I wonder if this is costing battery life?
What kind of battery life are people getting? I love having Rockbox on a new player, but I am getting pretty poor battery life — just a few hours after recharging. And it won't play when plugged in, as mentioned before.
I have a few questions to those experiencing always visible lcd content:
1) Does it occur in original firmware as well?
2) In rockbox does it update screen or is static when blanked?
3) Which version of the player do you have?
Anyway I wouldn't expect huge power savings. Vast majority of the power lcd consumes is backlight.

Finally I found some time to mess with framebuffer and I have bad news...
Please test and drop feedback. I am interested if this lcd blanking is working on T6 and Rocker v2. If it works, please battery bench this build and compare to HEAD version so we can judge if this saves anything.

Hi ..... without spending a lot of time looking this up .... can someone tell me, is this the player :
AGPTEK ROCKER Bluetooth 4.0 MP3 Player, High Resolution Lossless Music Player for Audiophile(up to 256GB), black /sliver
And does blue tooth work with rock box? Is there a wiki for the install process??
I see it on wallmart's site for 50$, I'll buy one today if it works.
Thank you
Tim
The difference is insignifican't unfortunately.
I don't know how, but I got 9 hours of battery life on the new build in this thread as opposed to the 6 and a half hours I usually get on the old build. Could it be due to other factors such as the bit-rate of the file?

Hi, may i ask if you did anything with the test build that is different than regular build? Did you change a setting and what type of music files were you playing?
Id be happy to help out with a wiki/install guide.If you want to make a tutorial, I reunited all I found on this post (http://"http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php/topic,51653.msg243162.html#msg243162"). I think the only thing it changed was the build, since they're testing the battery life right now.
I am really bad at uiCan you give us something UI-less for tests if it's easier to you? As a start it can read config from file I guess (xml or ini or whatever is easier to use from rockbox).
please propose mockup of BT uiI also suck at UI design but let's start from something. So my proposal for Bluetooth sub-menus:
I haven't been here in about 3 months.. What is the progress with the "rocker"?
Was the option of the Bluetooth added to the Rockbox firmware?
Thank you!!!
The update on the first link (I mean AGPTEK's own v1.2 update) failed, but the second one named "update_rb_new_T6_model.upt" worked!
1. I copied update_rb_new_T6_model.upt to the player and renamed to update.upt
2. Copied to the player the .rockbox folder from the Rocker development build.
I now have AGPTEK firmware version 1.2.
Goodbye 1.31 beta.
I suspect firmware 1.31 beta sees itself as newer and does not allow installing any version that presents itself as 1.2.
Yay, I have a Rockbox player
:)
I've been using Rockbox on the Rocker for months now (it's just vastly better than the software on any mp3 player I've had for years). However, the 64 Gb micro SD card that I installed it on shows up only as a 2.4 Gb partition.
Any clues how to get access to the rest of the space without breaking rockbox boot (whether by reinstalling or not)? I'm on linux, and it shows up as /dev/sdd (not /dev/sdd1 or whatever). I assume at least part of rockbox is on the card itself rather than in on-board device storage, because booting with a different card fails.
To all interested in BT support, as I stated loooong time ago, please propose mockup of BT ui. I am really bad at ui design and this pushes me off from implementing bt support in rockbox.
The "bootloader" is in the onboard flash, and it loads rockbox off the SD card. All you need to do is reformat the card as fat32.
Alternatively, since you're using Linux, try firing up 'gparted' and just resize the partitions. :)I'll try that after dding off the current data in case I mess it up.
The rockbox file needs to be on the sd card that is currently in the player. If you switch sd cards you must put rockbox on the new card.Thanks -- what do you mean by "The rockbox file"? Does some data need to be in a particular location in the filesystem, or is it perhaps just the presence of the directory named ".rockbox"? Or are you referring to following the flashing process again? Or maybe something else?

I wonder if the Benjie X1 uses similar hardware to K1/T6 (other than the touch screen interface)?Doesn't seem like it.
https://www.aliexpress.com/i/4000159912873.html
I use a Benjie T6 and can say it mostly works. Some of the plugins crash out with 'segmentation fault' type errors.
It isn't a polished port though with some quirks - the worst being the keymappings. For example, return to previous menu is sometimes mapped as 'up' other times as 'left' and the 'volume' buttons are used for somethings. Using the text entering dialog is weird 'up' maps to down row and vice versa.
What changes does this bootloader bring? Where can I find the bspatch utility? Should I use rocker.zip or ROCKER-20171101-patched.upt ?
Just noticed when building Rockbox for Benjie/AGPTek Rocker, that Rockbox utility support has just been added for this player (in git repo, not the binary release). A pleasant coincidence :)
I see you need a VID/PID for the T6, mine is VID:C502, PID:0029 don't know if it's the same for all players though.

It's possible that the T6 uses the same VID/PID as the Rocker, but if you've flashed the AGPTek firmware onto your T6 (and the rockbox bootloader process will do that!) then we can't trust the VID/PID that's reported -- we need an unmodified T6 with its factory firmware loaded to confirm its VID/PID.

The key map is off for me - but I'm not on the latest version.
Device status says Rockbox utility is now supported. Rocker not recognized in version 1.4.1?
Why not just say it is Rockbox Utility ready but not with any existing Rockbox Utility that is available to any normal human being?

Hello. I'm using a Benjie BJ-T6 with Rockbox build "edbdefa" from 10.18. The player often does not play after pause. The play \ pause icon changes when you press play but does not start playing, the play timer does not move, but rewind works. Selecting other files does not help, just reboot the device.

As an added bonus, the clicking on track changes should be much reduced.
So there's probably some other underlying problem here.
But I'm testing the 135b3f6 build from 10/12/2020 for the second day. There is no bug at all.
I note that Amazon is now selling AGP Rocker V2, and that they claim good RockBox compatibility.
I am new to this manual configuration. The AGPTEK ROCKER or Benji player is discontinued for some years now just like a lot of the players that have been ported and under development. AGPTEK created new versions of the Rocker with builtin memory and SD Card port included. Case and buttons locations very similar but slimmer and soft case and buttons. They call it the AGPTEK ROCKER S02 version and I purchased it on AMAZON a month ago. The installer does not recognize the AGPTEK S02 player. Any Idea how I can get ROCKBOX to work on this AGPTEK S02 Player?
What does daily updates mean, and from where (AGPTEK)?
