---++ My Personal Notes

---+++ TODO:
   * AA Fonts (someone has a patch on [[http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/8961][FS#8961]])
      * Understand the Rockbox font rendering, then
      * Implement a new <i>n</i>bpp font format, after that
      * Implement font translucency.
   * OF UI simulator
      * A plugin for simulating other OF's UI is good to have.
   * GBK encoding
      * Understand fully GBK and GB18030, then
      * Update GB2312 encoding to GBK or GB18030.
   * Runtime
      * Retest the [[IpodRuntime][iPod Nano runtime]].
      * Retest the [[IpodRuntime][iPod Video runtime]].
         * On the iPod 5.5G, the OF's default volume is equivalent to about -30dB in Rockbox.
   * Scroll wheel click problem
      * Understand the scroll wheel detection for iPods, then
      * Ignore the scroll wheel while one of the four directional buttons are depressed.
   * Languages
      * Draw a flag for each language
      * Use native language names
   * Test ATA problem / hack on iPod 5.5g 80GB
      * Turn off the hack, then
      * Turn on database auto refresh, then
      * Turn on directory cache, then
      * Turn on resume at startup.
      * Notice lack of UI responsiveness / audio skipping
      * Note: This should be easily observed on 60GB and 80 GB iPod Videos.
      * Note 2: 5.5G iPod Video exports 2048-byte sectors over USB, although the drive is 512-byte sectors (30GB) or 1024-byte sectors (80GB).
   * Add option for FAT 16 support in tools/configure.
   * Help remove pluginlib by moving all button definitions to the respective apps.
   * Ipodpatcher --format and --convert options
      * Enhance --format to support 2048-byte sectors.
      * Test out the --convert option.
   * Database
      * Maybe we can avoid the reboot after initializing it.
      * Sometimes songs don't show up in the database.
      * Currently, the database says "xxx found". We should improve it to make it say "xxx files (zzz music files) and yyy directories found".
   * Music file buffering
      * Implement a more generic buffering, more like the page cache algorithm.
      * Currently, the files are buffered and then forgotten after they've been played.
      * Keep the code simple, otherwise it will be hard to get accepted.
   * Visual feedback for fade-out/fade-in
      * Llorean suggested using a blinking icon to show that playback is fading in or fading out.
         * The blink would be implemented as alternating icons.
         * I think fade in should blink the play icon and fade out should blink the pause icon, but this would be up to the WPS designer.
         * We just have to provide the mechanism, and the WPS designer sets the policy.
      * There is another method, that is to use a special animated icon to show the fade in or fade out status. But this is more complicated than Llorean's solution.
   * USB stack
      * Sometimes plugging in a USB cable will make RB go into UMS mode, sometimes it doesn't.
   * Bubbles plugin
      * Optimize the code. Investigate the possibility of using bubble paths instead of calculating every single move.
      * Fix the speed issue. Currently bubbles runs at different speeds, depending on the CPU speed. This is clearly wrong.
   * Problems with mkfs.vfat on the iPod 5.5g
      * Find the people who had problems with mkfs.vfat and ask them to try again.
      * Once done, deprecate mformat.
   * Ask ex-Ingenic contact
      * Documentation
      * Hardware info
   * Fix source tree structure
      * Makefile sometimes don't pick up changes.
      * Target builds are outside the tree while utilities are inside the tree.

---+++ DOing:
   * Help message display for plugins ([[http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/9232][FS#9232]])
      * Use the one from solitaire.
      * Take it out and generalize it.
   * PATH ([[http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/9112][FS#9112]])
      * Automatically append the cross compiler's path when compiling / configuring.
      * Currently there are two choices: $HOME/.config/rockbox.org/somefile or <svn>/tools/somefile
      * The current implementation stores the cross compiler prefix in ~/.config/rockbox.org/RockboxCompilerPrefix
      * The affected files are:
         * tools/rockboxdev.sh
         * tools/configure, along with the generated Makefile
   * <strike>Remove Repeat:Shuffle option</strike>Make Shuffle:Yes and Repeat:All behave the same as Repeat:Shuffle ([[http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/9456][FS#9456]])
      * Always reshuffle when Shuffle:Yes and Repeat:All
   * !WenQuanYi Fonts ([[http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/9059][FS#9059]]) & ([[http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/9060][FS#9060]])
      * Get [[MarcoenHirschberg][markun]] to review the !WenQuanYi font submissions.
   * Database hang when no music file found ([[http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/9093][FS#9093]]).
      * The database doesn't actually hang, the ready bit just didn't get set.
      * A simple patch has been uploaded. It basically allows the creation of an empty tagcache.
   * Remove pluginlib actions from bubbles plugin ([[http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/10194][FS#10194]])
      * A patch has been uploaded.

---+++ Done
   * Maze plugin ([[http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/9184][FS#9184]] & [[http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/9191][FS#9191]])
      * This can be fixed by using the same data structure for the maze both in the stack and the main struct.
      * Clean up the code before submitting.
   * Move "Playback Settings" out of "General Settings" ([[http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/9472][FS#9472]])
   * Menu system for plugins
      * Fix bubbles to use the menu system. The code has been fixed by someone else.

---+++ NODO
   * Use "/" instead of "Files" for root directory ([[http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/9461][FS#9461]])
      * "Files" is a better way, because it integrates better with the main menu.
   * Reorganize Playback Settings menu ([[http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/9473][FS#9473]])
      * This should be discussed at MenuLayoutDiscussion instead.

---+++ Ideas
   * Big-icon lists for the menu
      * Llorean is basically opposed to this
      * scorche wants the objections to be addressed
      * Objections:
         * binsize
         * code overhead
         * code complexity
         * blind friendliness
         * functional benefits
         * maintenance nightmare
         * porting nightmare
         * theme change: require reboots?
         * ui change: require reboots?
         * theme compatibility

---+++ Notes:
   * Update the !WenQuanYi fonts regularly. The BDF format is preferred.
   * Vector fonts are not in because of the processing overhead.
   * The fonts are drawn differently for each LCD type (1bit, 2bit, 16bit).
   * Remember to always check the output of convbdf.
   * The 2 MB limitation of FlySpray is only for single attachments.
   * The default UI will not be themable due to performance considerations.
   * To test the runtime against the OF,
      * Use the exact same set of music files.
      * Use a playlist (about 45-60 min), set to repeat, don't shuffle.
      * Reset the Rockbox settings to default.
      * Turn of accessory power: Settings -> General Settings -> System -> Accessory Power Supply.
      * Charge the battery to full using the bootloader USB mode, then restart Rockbox before starting. This is because "there is a higher power consumption that we do not understand right now" said Buschel, if we just charge inside Rockbox and run the battery test from there.
   * Rockbox [[WhyNoMalloc][doesn't support malloc]], so after initializing the database, we need to reboot.
   * Plugins are compiled according to supported features of each DAP.
      * There is a SOURCES file in each plugin directory that controls which file gets compiled and which are not.
      * Therefore large #ifdef blocks inside plugins should be removed.
   * Plugin bitmaps are converted from bitmaps inside apps/plugins/bitmaps/ at build time into arrays inside C files. The header files are generated in pluginbitmaps/.
   * To enable logf(), define LOGF_ENABLE before including logf.h, and enable logf via the configure script.

---++ My Personal Quotes
   * [[FrankGevaerts][gevaerts]]: wpyh: if you put your rockbox dev tools in a directory designed for _temporary_ files, we seriously have to doubt your commitment to the project ;)
   * [[JonathanGordon][JdGordon]]: please accept this gift certificate for 300 free downloads from rockbox.org for causing such grief
   * [[PaulLouden][Llorean]]: But I'm a cynic.
