.. for the touchscreen: you can use a theme with navigation touch button areas. I found it on rayboradio_OB for the first time and liked it so much that I optimized it a bit (naranjada) and later made an own theme with navigation buttons (arc-en-ciel). If you like trying out things I'd recommend to do so with this themes.

Merci for the suggestion to try out themes. Yes actually I do like to fiddle around with my devices. First thing I did with my DX50 the day I received it was test all third party firmwares. Anyway following your suggestion I started browsing around the various themes, and I see lots of creativity there, more than I expected. Visually speaking I'm enjoying Naranjada a lot ATM. Do you know if the themes that are listed under the Cowon2 directory (see first post) are all actually compatible with the DX50?
 
Thanks !

I tried many themes but frankly the ciel one with buttons is simply so conenient that I don't even bother with other themes (though personally I don't like the rainbow colored bar much lol). Also some themes from cowon D2 may not work as intended since the DX50 screen is much smaller.

DX50 and D2 themes are 100% compatible
both have color LCD with 320x240 resolution AND Touchscreen

I'm glad you like arc-en-ciel 

. My intetntion is that  after heavy usage of the theme you will "feel" without thinking, depending on the color of the bar:
a) how long the current song is and will remain (in WPS )
b) in which menu you are (in SBS)
this should give some more handling comfort

Apparently I'm having trouble with changing fonts. While I found one that display characters in my language, I can't change the fonts of the WPS. How do I do that?

 

[cholero]

You will have to edit the .wps file. The fonts are usually loaded in the beginning of the file. The fonts fileending is always .fnt
You have to try out a bit what will fit. You can download the cowon D2 simulator to try it out to not have to plug and unplug the device all the time.

%Fl(2,28 Ubuntu [Bold].fnt)
%Fl(3,14-Ubuntu-R.fnt)
%Fl(4,14-Ubuntu-B.fnt)
%Fl(5,24 Ubuntu [Bold].fnt)
%Fl(6,12-Ubuntu-R.fnt)
%Fl(8,17-Ubuntu-R.fnt) 
So I need to change these lines into my font right (GNU-Unifont)?

 

[cholero]

Well, yes, but it is not done with it. As you see, these fonts have all different sizes. It wont look good, first. You will have to try what happens and maybe modify the "viewports" too. It looks like you took the arc-en-ciel theme. I think if you need unifont, it will probably be easier to take a different theme that only uses one font for example.
Good luck

Can anyone help me on which key combination on DX50 triggers the equivalent of that "Select+ Play" which is responsible for hotkey in File Browser and WPS?

 

[cholero]

Good question. Better take the cowon D2 manual as reference. The hotkey on DX50/90 seems to exist as definition. On touchscreen targets the hotkey seems to be only avalable in the not so popular "3x3" touchscreen mode: it is the bottom right area. But i tried it and it seems to not work. The WPS hotkey should work but when I tried it, it always broght me to the playlist. And I saw in git that the filbrowser/database hotkey is commented out for idontknowwhat reason and therefore cannot work.

File browser is top left button of 3x3 WPS.

Firmware 1.9.3 with rockbox dualboot:

[tingis]

Thank you very much, cholero.
 
Is it easy for a novice in computer, modifying the original firm, to add the dualboot ?.
Regards.

 

[cholero]

You need rk unpack and repack tools and the possibility to mount. Then you need to compile the boot selector. I would say with linux it is very easy but with windows not that much. I have set up everything in linux so patching the new firmware took me 10 seconds. If you are really interested pm me.
