I had to read the patch to find out... :-) Good point, after a second look, it is not as clear as I thought :) The hard conversion includes a patch to rockbox (as you found out). This patch really limits the functionality to recording. It also reduces menu options outside recording to setting the date and time, and seeing some of the system info. On exit of those menus, it goes back to recording. > >> I have been using it for the last 8 months.

I find I can get about 5-6 hrs. Sometimes I will actually use two clips in rotation, or I will have enough downtime at a desk during the day for a full charge for the remainder of the day. So the battery is truly the weak point. > Just getting a current rockbox version and copy the configs in? > I normally don't use the automatic installer.

Yes, you can install rockbox however you like. Just copy the config files as per the instructions. The config files are for: - starting in the recording screen - time spliting the recording every 10 min - setting a bitrate that will work in the browser - the .liferecorder file in the root dir is used to detect attachment by the application ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe: http://cool.haxx.se/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rockbox FAQ: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/GeneralFAQ Etiquette: http://www.rockbox.org/mail/etiquette.html Received on 2011-03-24 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
