sorry for the question but what improvements sound wise does rock box bring?
I have been listening 4 hours straight now and few more the last couple of days. Still don't notice any. It should not escape me if it last 4-5 seconds.
Also are you using the database browsing or file browsing? I have not tried the database yet only the file browsing.
I've given this some playtime and ran into some issues.
-Database feature doesn't seem to be scanning properly. If I select /mnt/external_sd as the scanning point, it seems to scan only the first directory.*Rescanned and database seems to be working*
-Trying to play music via the files option causes the player to go into a panic error. Database files are somehow causing the panic. After deleting the database files from the rockbox directory on the internal sd, it plays fine from the files option.
-I also seem to have noticed the occasional random crackle in the music. Heard it on a flac 16bit/44.1KHz and mp3.
Other than that, it seems to be working fine for music.
I have some queries about how to use this port.
1. Is it possible to turn off the screen while on now playing? I tried pressing the power button and it brings me back to the main menu. It seems like my only way is to wait for the screen to dim and off on its own.
2. Is it possible to turn the screen off when the lock button is engaged?
3. Pressing the power button when you were on now playing previously before the screen turned off causes the player to return to the previous menu (ie up 1 level) and the display turns on. Is this a normal behaviour?
4. I can't seem to get adb working. Is someone able to write a simple tutorial on how to get it working with the drivers/adb on windows 7 x64?
I really appreciate your hardwork on getting rockbox working on the player despite your busy life and understand if you can't rectify the issues encountered. Thanks for bringing us rockbox.

Thanks for the professional feedback!
DX50 and DX90 share the same status except for the crackle noise some people reported for DX90.
Yes, DB-Statistic is not working
1. This is rockbox not android. But I have planned to modify this in the future because I would prefer it too: to have WPS as main screen not menu; like on OF
2. There are setting something like "backlight when locked" (normal, on, off)
3. For normal rockbox yes. But I made a mod for this, headwhacker will maybe include it, i think if he likes it
4. ?? I think headwhaker has set it to adp ind build.prop ?? Do other Android devices work on your PC?
@pegasus21 Those are normal behavior of the power button in Rockbox. You will have to control the backlight off idle timer to achieve similar effect.
As for the dB panic, error, go to Settings > General Settings > Database > Gather Runtime Data. You should turn it off prior to initializing and building the database.
I've tested the backlight a bit and I found that the time before it turns off the screen is around twice the amount set under the backlight option. The setting of dade in and out has no bearing on this amount of time.
I've also noticed that the fade in and out progression is longer than it should be (At least when compared to my rockbox ipod). I'm not sure if this might be related to the timer issue.
In regards to adb, I've made progress with the SDK drivers and adb binary. I'm able to establish adb for a minute before the device goes offline.
Initially upon boot up
C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
0123456789ABCDEF device
After 1 minute
C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
0123456789ABCDEF offline
You're right about the factory reset. ADB works fine after that. Although I did reset it after installing the firmware. Thanks
@jj69 did you follow the instructions by Cholero when adding fonts and themes? Is it still complicated?
