ABOUT THE CURRENT BUILD
FINAL VERSION !!!!
This build is my third shot since the new WPS tokenizer
has been included into rockbox. The bug in the browser window
is fixed. Custom List Positioning is now included.
Thx to maxwen for his great work at keeping those patches alive.
The number of themes working with that build
is growing day by day.
******************** ******************** *
FOR THE FIRST TIME USERS
- Always select a theme by the "Browse themes"-menu item
- The safest way for a clean install is to delete the old files before
- Always backup your old files before
- Search in the forums before posting a question
- Your always welcome to ask if your search didnt succeed



YOU NEED A NEW BOOTLOADER: Get a proper bootloader here

Download current build: 5GB/6GB Version link 20GB Version link

Or browse all of my published files: Angryman's Public Box


AND... business as usual...
PLZ MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR OLD ROCKBOX FILES AND RESET YOUR PLAYER after the installation

Otherwise, you may get weird and unexplained problems when updating and if nothing helps you can switch back.
To reset your settings, you can either do so in the Manage Settings menu or switch hold on immediately after turning
your H10 on but before the Rockbox logo is shown. And also dont forget to select a mp3 file of a different album after
theme change (that forces the Album Art cache to be reloaded)

CUSTOMIZED DUALBOOT-LOADER! ONLY FOR 5G/6G UMS/MTP/Pure Models!!!



AS ALWAYS... USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK
To round up the appearance of your patched build (only 5GB/6GB models MTP/UMS) you can also
use one of the customized bootloaders which look like in the image above...
Just download the ZIP Package (given in the link a bit downwards) and rename the .mi4 file which
fits your model UMS or MTP to H10.mi4 and place it in your "System" folder...
Please make a backup of your working H10.mi4... Who knows maybe it doesn't work... If it doesnt work just
connect in emergency (USB) mode and copy back the backuped file.
The pure models should take the MTP version (should work but not committed yet).
The original code was from pijulius.THX for the permission to modify it.



Attention this link leads to a bootloader which isnt anymore compatible with the latest builds
5G/6G Custom_Dualboot_Load er MTP/UMS (RAR-file)

Have fun!!!

Hey angryman can you compile the album art patch for the 20gb h10 as well. It would be much appreciated if you could

[Angryman_H10]

WPS Skins ZenPod Vision and ZenPod Vision black are updated now... Have Fun!!!



If you wanna batch your existing covers (in my case it were more tan hundred) use IrfanView:
Make a search for *.jpg in your music directory
OPen IrfanView and select batch conversion
Drag the files from the search result to the left side
Go to the batch/conversion menu
go to advanced
#################### #########
#ONLY NEEDED FOR ALBUM ART PATCH 4.03
#check "resize" and set size to 40px/40px
#################### #########
check the box "create subdirectories in destination folder"
Cleck OK and type in a the output directory C:/mp3/covers/
Name pattern: cover
Click Start
After batching drag the created folders back to the music directory...


Cheerio

Files are now available in the first post

[ppulse]

do any of the 20gb wps's not require the scrolling margins patch because everytime i use a wps its not displayed correctly.

[nopo]

Thanks angryman! works great.

[ppulse]

nopo what wps are you using?

[nopo]

Im using zenpod. But I cant seem to find a wps that displays the text properly.

[ppulse]

i guess we need the scrolling margins patch...angryman...y ou up to it?

[jock_ryan2000]

Tried downloading the file from the site, but it just takes me to the upload form when I click download. Does anybody know whats wrong?

[Albatross918]

I think there's some bug if you try to use the scrolling margins patch and the album art patch at the same time.

[ppulse]

i heard somewhere that the .bmp could also be named the name of the album, is this true with the version of the patch used here?

[druidfire217]

Ok, it is late, but tomorrow I should be hosting both the 5/6 and 20gb ones so we dont have to deal with upload sites.

[itsmeguys]

Wow, thanks Angry Man! And thanks druidfire for your uploading

[Angryman_H10]

Did anyone else encounter problems with the tagcache or was it just me???

[Angryman_H10]

File priority :
1. <filename>.bmp
2. <album>.bmp
3. cover.bmp

Size is limited to 100px/100px
Maxwidth can be given through the wps...

i guess we need the scrolling margins patch...angryman...y ou up to it?

Priority has the album Art patch... This build is the first relativly stable build but the tagcache problem has to be solved. It's already fixed in one of the given patches but this one doesn't work right now. I will try to make a new modification of that patch building up on this one where the tagcache problem doen't occur anymore.

The problems which should be solved first:
- tagcache crashes
- unnecessary disk spins (Battery consuming)
- Some ogg-files crash

[jock_ryan2000]

Tried it with Tagcache and so far there's been no problems that I can see

20G or 5G model ??? DId you try the "force tag cache update" and how many files do you have on your player...

[jock_ryan2000]

5G model, didn't try "force tag cache update", bout 800 files on my player

[itsmeguys]

What exactly is tag cache? :???:

[Angryman_H10]

Its nearly the same thing as the created Cache from EasyH10. It stores your ID3 tags to browse easily and fast without reading your folders and files every time.

Maybe you should edit your first post, too then? Just a hint.

How many Album art supporting WPSes are there at the moment?

[Dimension Sibi]

Hi,
I aam going to resize my WPS (Dimension Six Theme) for the H10. And now I have to know: Is the scroll_margins_patch in your build? Or has the Album Art to be put over or under the text?

[nopo]

the scroll_margins_patch hasnt been compiled into the build yet. But feel free to convert wps's

[Dimension Sibi]

ok thank you. but that means that I can't put album art beside the song infos!?

[Philip_0729]

no not yet.. well you could try with spaces but i guess that would work badly as soon as the names are too long

[druidfire217]

Any chance you could recompile with these new updates AngryMan? USB support/playback would really help.

[HourBeforeDawn]

umm okay well here comes a dumb question how do I use the album art, I have to upload my own right? and if so to what folder and what format should the photos be and is there a size limit?
Thanks for your help

edit: Nevermind helps if I looked at the first post lol

[Oolon Coluphid]

I can't seem to find a WPS for the 20GB where the text doesn't end up being covered by the album art. Anyone else have better luck?

Those WPSs also require the scrolling margins patch in order to work. Look for a WPS that doesn't need the scrolling margins patch.

[iwantanimac]

I meant add teh link to the front page so it was easier to find, rather than giving amessage telling users to look through the other page(s) of the topic - it might get bigger very soon, who knows.

[Angryman_H10]

@iwantanimac...

Sorry you are right... I will provide the updates in the first post and not anywhere else...
Maybe someone could change the topic of this thread also to 20G... I cant change it by myself..

@ ALL
Updates for 20G and 5G models are now available in the FIRST post.
For the ones who use the 20G model... It's untested again... So please report if it works to the other users...

updated on: 9/21/2006 (Build with USB functionalities by Barry Wardell)

@ Question
DOes anyone know how to get back the highlight-bar behind the items (while scrolling) I have now an arrow instead...

[auskiwi]

general settings, display, lcd settings, line selector.

[druidfire217]

Thanks, AngryMan. Still trying to talk someone locally into showing me how to compile patches and stuff.

Have you tried applying the scrolling margins patch? Is there any specific reason you chose the v4.03 of the album art patch instead of the new one? I'm trying to compile my own, and any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.

[Dimension Sibi]

scrolling margins patch would be very helpful for me
And what about the progressbar y coord patch?

[Angryman_H10]

sORRy, but i am very busy at the moment (university and job)... and the scrolling margin patch requires much more modifications than the album art patch... so i don't think i will make it maybe someone else...

However if the devs make it to get Rockbox 3.1 in november up all this should be solved automatically by the new viewports

I started up from 3.4 with the less modifications possible and then upwards to a stable version which 4.03 seems like...

Yes i tried the scrolling margins patch and this one looks ltoo much work for me at the moment...

I cant give anymore help as shown in the tutorial i released once (Tips and Links on WPS skinning)
I just do it that way... and the changes which have to be done (hunk failed) are obvious if you look through the code... (up to 4.03 they have been obvious^^) Anyway post me the file which you need and i'll mail it if you dont get it working...

BY THE WAY... Here's someone who already got the scrolling margins patch working
go here
