Just applied the new FW2 theme.  Very nice!  Kudos.

And I wil* be installing this new beta firmware as soon as I get the X1, :) Thanks.

Hi, everybody.  I'm the proud owner of an X1 (en-route, to be delivered in 2 days!) after a disappointing experience with another player.  I have about 12,000 files, mostly in FLAC (a couple hundred in high-bitrate MP3).  Most of them have embedded cover-art (which I understand the X1 will show)...

The Xduoo X3 looks great.  Any chance of finding an option with a color screen for album art?

Looking to get another DAP to replace my new 770C.  I really like it's sound quality (and I'm sure I'm being a bit petty) but I just can't get used to the lack of physical buttons and terrible customer support,  I'd really hoped the new Rockbox would change my mind, especially because I'd spent...

Thanks!

XVortex - silly question... when there's a Rockbox system update (like the one you just posted on your download page) I assume you can just copy the new .rockbox folder over the old one on the microSD card?  I shouldn't need to reapply the firmware with that cumbersome image updater, do you?

I've tried Windows 10 in all of its compatibility modes, in both 32- and 64-bit versions.  I couldn't get it to work, no matter what, until I found a Windows 7 PC I hadn't upgraded yet.  Like jdog said -- if you have access to a WinXP machine, you should be able to do it off a USB thumbdrive.

That was the problem.  I hadn't placed the .rockbox folder in the MicroSD card's root. I did so and now everything's great.

It's working great for me, XVortex!  I had the usual headaches associated with upgrading the 770C firmware (Xuelin's fault... not yours).  I also downloaded the AluminArt theme from the Rockbox site and it works well.  I've shown appreciation for your hard work via your donation page;  I...

I finally got a chance to try XVortex's Rockbox image.  After 2 hours of failed attempts at getting 'RK27 Loader Device Not Found' errors, I finally was able to find a USB port & cable combination that allowed me to flash the new Rockbox firmware.  All went well, it ended successfully, BUT...

On a vaguely related note... if this works as well as it seems, I'm thinking of getting one of those 200GB MicroSD cards for my 770C.  I've got a 128GB card by Silicon Power in there now.  Has anyone had any good or bad experiences with the 200GB cards?

Argh! I'm away from my 770C right now, but am VERY excited to give it XVortex's Rockbox image in a couple of days!   All of the positive comments I'm seeing are encouraging!  This is great news!

Encouraging screenshot from XVortex's Rockbox page!  I'm getting excited! Quote:

This is fantastic news !!!!

I suspect if  XVortex gets a good Rockbox image going for the new 770C he will be very pleasantly surprised at the traffic he gets to his donation page!    There are a LOT of people praying for one, myself included!   He'll have no trouble finding volunteers to serve as beta-testers.

Grrr. :(  VERY disappointing.  Definitely reflects badly on Xuelin.

I'm curious... did that wonderful, new firmware for the NEW 770C ever come out that improves FLAC support and offers album art?  Xuelin promised it would come out months ago, but it doesn't appear to have been released.  ??? 

I hate to say this, but I think I agree with Kwangsun.  I'm starting to regret my choice.  When I was searching for a reasonably-priced player for my library that I'd recently ripped to FLAC my research immediately pointed to the Fiio players, but I started hearing about a very promising, new...

@jdog - I have an AMD Phenom II x4 955 processor. It's a quad-core 3.2 GHz.  16GB of RAM

I have Windows 7 (64-bit) and have been able to run the last two updates.  It was picky about the Micro-USB cable I used (both work fine everywhere else) but, otherwise, Win7 was fine for me.

Oh, good.... so I'm not crazy! ;)  A few times lately I've noticed the battery indicator showing 100% for a LONG time, then I'll glance at it 20-25 minutes later and it suddenly shows that the battery is nearly dead.  It hasn't disrupted my listening yet, so it ranked a relatively low priority...

FYI... I also received a reply to the feature request email I sent to the email address I mentioned in post #711.  It simply said:   Not much, but at least Xuelin responded.  I'm looking forward to the "official" firmware update.  

Excellent news, jdog.  Is " sxj1974@163.com " still the best email address to use when requesting firmware improvements?
