Non-authorised apps, as well as pirated apps (not my cup of tea though), multi-tasking too, and UI modification too if you like etc.

I'm doing it to keep the UI stock, but add the multi-tasking and unofficial apps.

See the Wikipedia article here for more info.

My new toy - I walked into my local Curry's store at the weekend, they were totally out of stock of 8gb Clip+'s; they did however have 2gb Clip+'s for £19.99!

At that price I thought it was too good a bargain to miss, I then discovered that Carphone Warehouse are selling 8gb Sandisk Micro SD cards on-line for £12.99 so I ended up with 10gb in total For £32.98 - Not bad at all, in fact I'm well chuffed.

No complaints at all, the whole setup sounds really good to my ears, the IEM's are Apple ADDIEM's; they're the most comfortable fitting IEM's I used to date - I've certainly got plenty of bass with this rig

It's ultra portable even with the E5 and quickly becoming my favourite setup to date.

nice. i was interested to hear if the sound signature of the clip+ changed at all with the E5 or are you using it primarily for the low end boost? my clip+ and IE8 unamped sound awesome and im wondering if the E5 would improve the sound at all..

Nice deal! Along with rockbox that's very hard to resist

I haven't heard the E5, but if you put Rockbox on your Clip+, you'll get alot more EQ options. Playing with the EQ in Rockbox will probably give you better results which you can fine-tune to the way you like, and Rockbox will give you more accurate volume control (1 dB per step). There was a recent thread about EQing, and the member that posted it said the IE8 got much better with extensive EQing. Of course, if you've got the money for the E5 lying around, why not just go for it since it's so cheap? Then again, Rockbox is free...

dfkt, whats the battery life like on the clip+ running rockbox?

I'm silly like that.

It also saves a lot of space

I get it now; coming from the iPod universe I think of rockbox as being for flac, but I can see you guys really appreciate the customization it offers

Cool; I always assumed "jailbreaking" as a just a way to get out of AT&T's gsm stranglehold on iPhones, it works for the iTunes app store and more I see

Thanks you guys

dfkt,
Thank you for the information about Rockbox for Click.
I just installed it on my click v.2 and am very very happy about it

Now, I want to have a Clip+!

 

[hydora]

kiddee,
Very nice re-casing TF10.
One day, I wish I will send my TF10 to Fisher hearing to re-casing like yours.

 

[hydora]

The rockbox for Clip is seems only for English only.
I speak Japanese so I change the language to Japanese, but everytime I
reboot the Rockbox turns back to English menu,and also I can't save any config file
at all,seems like still need to wait while.

 

[Onza]

yes its read only at the moment, but you can always create your own custom config file and drop it in the .rockbox folder on the clip+. This will load the config you specify at startup. i think dfkt posted a sample config files on the abi sansa forums (Sansa Clip / Clip+ - abi>>forums) which you can amend to suit your needs
