Android 5.0+, I assume?

If so, then, no. I can not help you I am afraid.


[Saint]


Yes, Android 5.1 (actually CM 12.1).
Very very sad, that there is nothing that can be done :(

Thanks for your reply.

I searched but could find nothing similar to my issue.
I compiled RB for android and install it on froyo 2.2.
It works well but I cannot write to the sdcard or internal card.
errors on accessing playlist control file when selecting mp3 to play but it plays fine
I cannot add to a playlist or save any config changes.
Any info would help.

Hi guys

Thanks so much for making a Rockbox app.
I was using RB since years on my iRiver H320, but finally moved to a more modern device Fiio X5 III and I've got few issues:
1. play/pause, forwards/backwards don't work when screen off (although it works fine on Cayin i5)
2. When using play/pause (screen obviously on), Rockbox always crashes. Then when I go back to the app two things happen additionally: resuming always from beginning of the song and very often volume is set automatically to max (I'm scared to put on my IEMs before checking the volume ;)).

Anything you could advise? I also asked Fiio support, but waiting for they're reply.

Furthermore, what's the difference, between the three available apk's (sorry if that has been already answered)?
480x800   (I'm using this one)
480x800mips
480x800x86

From top to bottom:

* 480x800 screen resolution for Android running on ARM-based devices (most older phones)
* 480x800 screen resolution for Android running on MIPS-based devices (some tablets from China)
* 480x800 screen resolution for Android running on x86-based hardware (some tablets with Intel Atom, or Android-x86 on a netbook, or whatnot)

Thanks for the explanation.

I tried to install RB on several phones without luck (HTC M8, M10, Lenovo X Play), but I had no issues with this on DAPs like Fiio X5iii and Cayin i5. The app gets installed, but just at the beginning the app goes black screen and than crashing. Always used 1080x1920 for those.
Any idea why?

It doesn't work on Android 5 or newer.

Are there any plans to enhance the app for newer android or has this project been abandoned (last daily build was uploaded end of march)?

Rockbox app with Android 5.0 or up compatibility is out there a long time ago, but it is developed by a user in Rockbox Chinese community. The download process required a good Chinese reading ability, so it is almost impossible for a non-Chinese person to find it out. I only distributed it by extracted it, set the default language to English, did some translating jobs on the file name, made a instruction file then recompressed it. The app and additional files belong to the author "迈戈" from Rockbox Chinese community.

If you encounter any problem, please use Google Translate to view the original post in Rockbox Chinese community. Oh... and don't thank me! (^o^)

Do you happen to have a link to source or patches that were applied? Just a binary is useless for further progress (as well as against the license, obviously)

As I said, I am only a user. I can't access any sources in it since I am not the one who developed it. I realized that the forum is currently under maintenance so their is no button for registering. I am contacting the forum's service email to see if they can register manually for me. That is the only way to be able to contact the author who posted those Rockbox files. I am glad to help contacting the author in Chinese though I have no idea about coding in Rockbox.

*note: I was impressed that you replied so quickly!

Also, I think this app is based on Rasher's Rockbox, which many people in Rockbox forums think that it is impossible to build a Rockbox app base on it that can run on ART(the runtime Android 5.0 and up are based on). The person (or people) in China achieved a long time ago, and I think the efforts put into it were very huge; so, I will be interested looking how well the project have been done. I will ask for the autor's permission to make it a github project.

I got a github link from a admin of the Rockbox Chinese Community that is supposed to be some sort of patch files of the rockbox app. I think this is a project for the main Rockbox app, and the one I posted before seems to be a theme package with two versions of main apps in it. As I said before, I have no idea of what these things are about and how they works, so if you guys are interested but puzzled after looking at the project, you will need to contact the email of the admin for clarifying your confusions.

Hi kevorex,

The zip file you provided works quite well save for some minor UI bugs, but I noticed it's a build from over 2 years ago.

Where can I find a more recent build? the forum thread you provided gives an error 502 and rockboxcn.org seems to no longer exist.

I love Rockbox; it was the only thing that stopped me getting rid of my iPod. Instead, the iPod, though now on its last legs, was turned into something wonderful. Please don't give up on the Android port. So far, I cannot find anything that does everything as Rockbox does - a truly grateful user.
