I may have solved a similar problem. Go back to around page 32 onward to see what and how. 1. if your new cards are of very large capacity and/or 2. you are using a music player that ‚phones home‘ upon startup.- GandalfTheGrey

Fiio X5iii Custom Kernel and Scripts | 2016MHz CPU | 20% RAM increase | Undervolting | New DAC drivers | and much more
Has anyone here ever tried a RAM upgrade on his X5iii? Is it even possible? I found a PDF with specifications of the internals, a datasheet of the RK3188 chip, to be more specific, and it states that it's "compatible with JEDEC standard DDR3/LPDDR2 SDRAM up to 1066MHz and up to 2GB or RAM...- GandalfTheGrey

I don't know how and why, but startup is unstable again. I keep having to remove the cards before I power-up again. This seems to happen because I set up screen-lock. Removing the screen-lock makes boot-up normal again. Phew!- GandalfTheGrey

storage is checked at system start. If you go into Settings > Storage, you can see that, initially, both SD cards are grayed-out, then the cards are checked (‘calculating’) until the bar is filled according to capacity and free space. I’d say it takes about a minute, or so, for both cards to be...- GandalfTheGrey

I think the default FiiO music player is so bad, IT was basically the reason this whole firmware modding effort started in the first place. No, I didn’t test inserting just ONE of the cards to see if the system was more stable that way, but I do remember reading here or in some other thread...- GandalfTheGrey

I'm probably the latest addition to the modded X5iii community. At least I'm the latest to post a question regarding the modded firmware, it seems. I bought a brand new (probably manufactured in 2018, but otherwise unused) X5iii plus two 1TB MicroSD cards by PNY. Flashing the firmware is a...- GandalfTheGrey

Still seeing some "interesting" behavior: Every time I power-down, reboot, wake-from-sleep, unplug the USB or - IIRC - sometimes even the headphone cable, the FiiO freezes up. I've tried lowering the CPU frequency, have "frozen" non-essential apps that I thought might be causing bottlenecks...- GandalfTheGrey

Very happy with the new toy, thanks again to jkbuha and prispewnic for their amazing work, and everyone else for their input. A couple of questions: 1. Whenever I make some major changes (most notably, so far, when I add a considerate amount of new files to the SD card) the system freezes...- GandalfTheGrey

Picked up the player yesterday, spent deep into the night setting up and running all the upgrades and tweeks (with the obligatory pulling-out-of-hair included), and have the FiiO running great right now, as I fill the storage up with music files. Sooooo many settings, sooooo much stuff to learn...- GandalfTheGrey

Great points! Thanks for the insight. I have a huge music collection I’ve always wanted to be able to take with me. Not interested in streaming, so much.- GandalfTheGrey

I found a bargain on eBay, and kinda liked the fact that people had significantly improved it in a group effort. As far as I know the X5iii is one of only a few, if not the only DAP, to have its source code released to the public. I like the ‘tinkering‘ involved. Wish me luck! 🙂 Any...- GandalfTheGrey

I’ll be getting my X5III shortly. Haven’t gotten to my choice of player yet. Need to go through all the ‚tweaking‘ first. Wish me luck.- GandalfTheGrey

Cool! Not even slower speed issues when going from smaller cards to 512gb then, I guess? I tinkered through a PDF named "RK3188 Datasheet V1.4" to see if I could ANYTHING on external flash memory size and/or speed, but I ended up with more questions than answers? For example, is "external...- GandalfTheGrey

Hi everybody! I recently bought a new X5iii on eBay, which will be arriving in about two weeks (USA to Germany). I chose this player, though it's an older model, in large part because of what I found about community-modified FW's and mods, so I'm excited to be applying all the steps outlined...- GandalfTheGrey
