Hello,
I’d like to suggest that the timer for when to turn off the LCD backlight should start when the last pressed button is released rather than the current behavior - when a button is pressed.

Example:
I have my backlight timer set to 10s because that is usually more than enough time and I want conserve the battery life.
However, when I’m scrolling through files/database/playlist in order to find a particular song, I PRESS and HOLD a (fwd / back) button. While I’m still holding the button (in order to scroll) the backlight times out. I think it would make more sense to start the backlight timer when all buttons are released.

What do you think?
Is there already a way around this that I missed?

Thank you,
best iMpig

The ipod3g config file does not contain “HAVE_HARDWARE_CLICK”.

If it’s added, main.c and misc.c fail to compile.
Including piezo.c in main.c allows it to compile, and the option appears on the iPod, but the clicker does not work.

13367Feature RequestsSettingsVery LowAllow disabling headphone remote button in settings2022-10-04salty-horse2022-10-04xDuoo X3ii Task Description

I’m using Rockbox (build from 2022-05-03) with xDuoo X3ii.

The device supports controlling playback with a button press on the headphones.

This is behavior currently enabled with a define (USE_REMOTE) during the build process, and for now, it’s only supported by the xDuoo target.

I would really prefer if this was a setting, as I find it sometimes doesn’t behave as expected, and if I wish to turn it off I have to rebuild rockbox.

Here are the issues I’m having, which may be related to faulty headphones, but might also be related to some error-correction that the native firmware does, and Rockbox doesn’t.

I found that these behaviors can cause Rockbox to think there was a remote button press:
1) Pulling the jack in and out of the player (the rockbox setting to pause/resume playback when the jack is removed/connected is DISABLED).
2) Sometimes moving the headphones wire triggers a button click.

I’m using Rockbox (build from 2022-05-03) with xDuoo X3ii.

Sometimes the bootloader fails to load Rockbox with the error “Cannot boot Rockbox”. After a single restart of the device it loads fine.

The current bootloader makes this restart process very cumbersome:

1) When starting the device without user interference, the bootloader tries to load rockbox and gives the error
2) Then the bootloader is back in the main menu, and after several seconds of no user involvement, will attempt to load rockbox instead.

I haven’t tried, but I think this loop will continue indefinitely.

If I wish to restart the device, I need to follow these steps:

3) Choose the configuration option in the bootloader, and choose the restart action.
4) Wait for the device to restart. Then the bootloader will start with the “Settings” option selected by default (since it was the last selection).
Before it auto-selects it, I need to quickly switch back to the Rockbox menu option.

During this entire process, the device requires my full attention, which means I can’t just turn the device on in my pocket and wait for it to autoplay.

To ease this error-recovery, I suggest the following:

1) When Rockbox fails to load, a countdown timer will start, and when it’s over, the device will automatically restart. The user can interrupt this process with any button press.
2) When choosing the settings option in the bootloader, I don’t think the bootloader should remember it for later. It should only remember the Rockbox option, or the “native firmware” option.

Now Rockbox stays in USB Storage mode after iPod being ejected as removable device. Apple OS behaves better: ejecting iPod puts it into the normal mode (with its interface available). Please make Rockbox behave the similar way.

13312Feature RequestsBootloaderVery LowGraphical bootloader for dualboot capable (Rockbox/OF) ...2021-11-03unilock2021-11-03All players Task Description

It would be nice to have a graphical bootloader, a la GRUB on desktop computers, for devices that support dualbooting Rockbox with the original firmware (OF).

Currently, this is “supported” on the iPod 1G - 5.5G, iPod mini series, and the iPod nano 1G (and Sansa e200v1?) by https://github.com/crozone/ipodloader2, as well as the iPod Classic 1G - 3G and iPod nano 2G (and 4G?) by https://freemyipod.org/wiki/EmCORE#emCORE_boot_menu. Perhaps there are replacement bootloaders for other Rockbox-supported media players as well, but I’m not aware of any.

Currently, dualbooting with the OF is done by holding down a key to boot into one firmware or another while powering on the device. However, I believe it would be much more convenient to have a graphical interface to choose which firmware to boot, rather than having to remember which key boots which firmware.

Whether this is possible on most players, I do not know. Personally, I’m interested in implementing it in the Sansa Connect Rockbox bootloader myself, but my skills are not quite there yet.

As there are multiple targets that support such formats in OF (all Xduoo players, Agptek Rocker…) would be cool to have it in rockbox too. Not sure if it’s really useful but there is open source library for decoding such formats written in C:

Add an tag to the viewports that allow text/items to be aligned
top/centre/bottom (vertical alignment)

Currently, it is possible to align left/centre/right (horizontal alignment)

The main reason I want to do this is to centre fonts in the middle of a viewport to allow my WPS to allow for multiple fonts - all lined up correctly. I’m sure there can be many other uses
