Thanks to HCl and nooby I have rockbox up and running in my iHP (I update every day fresh daily builds) as I have already said.
Just to clarify some things about OTF playlist, delete etc.
These kind of things are already implemented!!!
Ok I know that there is no mp3 playback to have a practical use for them, but things like that are already part of Rockbox waiting for mp3 playback to work.
For example if you go to a file or folder (and that includes all sort of files not only audio) and you hold the joystick down a menu will pop up with varius options. Such as:
1.Playlist (I guess to make or enque a playlist)
2.Rename
3.Delete
4.Open with
5.Create directory
Also the scrolling of text is already implemented and full customizable from the settings. You have 4 parameters in scrolling:
1.Scroll Speed
2.Scroll start delay(how many ms scrolling will occur)
3.Scroll step size(how many pixels every step will be)
4.Bidirectional Scroll Limit
P.S:When I set it to scroll in high speed the scrolling text gets blury and I cant read it. Any comments on it Linus?
The LCD backlight timing as well as the Hard Disk Spindown is fully customizable to the user. Of course there is no HD spin bug.
On top of that there are many fonts and languages to choose from.
You can choose to very big and fat fonts to very small ones!
There are a lot of options for playback and sound as well (which some of them I couldnt imagine or know ex. karaoke?)
Text documents can now be read on the fly. No worry to put the Text file to a directory called TEXT. You can open a txt file like any other audio file.
(Same applies to Game boy games)
Overall the Rockbox firmware is simplistic but fast and understandable.
Dont expect fatty pictures and shiny banners in the menus.
I cant imagine a better firmware than Rockbox. There are so many options that I am lost....
And to add the cherry to the pie, there are, many plug-ins, games(game boy games, snake, snake 2, tetris, solitaire etc.) and little programs(calculator, metronome, stopwatch etc.)
For you that want further information download the manual from the Rockbox site (Documentation)
I will try to post some pics of the menus and options if someone is interested.
