About the gerrit comment: Michael, he is the (only) one who was always watching the progress and pushing things forward.

The commit of gerrit to rockbox trunk failed by Michael (=saratoga), due to the same reasons as discussed (gerrit seems to be somwwhat limited/buggy)
He gave also a statement in yesterdays IRC log (http://www.rockbox.org/irc/log-20140914) (at 23:03):

saratoga:

well i give up

saratoga:

if someone wants that dx50 port, they can figure out how to get git to do things

 
@cholero As the state of that gerrit task (941) is now in a screw* up state, I would suggest to put it to the abandonned state, and create a fresh one from the latest trunk.
BTW. the rockbox devs are a little bit picky about warnings, there are 2 ones
 
rockbox/firmware/target/hosted/android/dx50/pcm-dx50.c: In function 'pcm_play_dma_pause':
rockbox/firmware/target/hosted/android/dx50/pcm-dx50.c:233:31: warning: unused parameter 'pause' [-Wunused-parameter]
rockbox/firmware/target/hosted/android/dx50/tinyalsa/pcm.c: In function 'pcm_mmap_commit':
rockbox/firmware/target/hosted/android/dx50/tinyalsa/pcm.c:832:51: warning: unused parameter 'offset' [-Wunused-parameter]
 
Found that example how to "unwarning" unused function parameters

New custom CWM-flashable build for/with stock Firmware 1.5.0 including following new changes to the official repository:

• bugfix: dualboot selector was not shown when a cable was connected to lineout (this was my  bug, not xzcc's)
• bugfix: enabling "gather runtime data" does not cause a crash anymore (big "thank you" to @headwhacker
  ). According to @Brendanus
   this fix also fixes a general database initialization error.

List of all old modifications to xzcc's build 2014-06-30:

• longpress of play button in menu works correctly
• new dual-boot mechanism (Hold-Switch enables boot-selector, otherwise last player is booted)
• Headphone output click -> connected on playback not at startup 
• Battery level calculated from voltage
• working plugins: all (only startup and keymap tested)
• "Smartphone UI Style" (modded backlight and button behaviour)
• lock switch works as intended
• timers@playback not very slow anymore
• "gather runtime data" works

saratoga messed it up 

 (not his fault of course). We will find a way and the one you suppose is the one to go I think (make a new commit with a new id).
 
And thanks about the warning-killer info. And you claim not to know c 

. I will use that, thanks!

  I made a compilation of the best (imo) rockbox themes and modified them, so they work properly on the DX50/90 and look nice as well. I also optimized some of them for "absolute point" touchscreen mode. I included over 30 themes.
I only tested them on my DX90, but they should work just fine for the DX50 as well...
 
Please make sure to read the readme file inside the zip archive. Enjoy!

 
Here is the latest (and probably last) version: https://www.sendspace.com/file/igsenr
 
I included a lot more themes, fixed a couple of bugs and optimized all themes for "absolute point" touchscreen mode. Read the included readme file for details. Enjoy!
 
@headwhacker: Can you please add the link to the first post of this thread? Thanks!

 

[sduck]

Thanks deho for making this! It's so much better than my little attempt at this many pages ago. 

 

[DarkZenith]

@deho: thanks a lot!

Your first compilation was already a classic for me. You're making my beloved DX50 even nicer!

 

[deho]

You're both welcome. If there are any bugs, don't hesitate to report them to me.

 

[headwhacker]

@deho I added the link for the new theme collection in the first page. BTW if you get the chance could you look at the wps theme AAFreak. It's a nice theme that maximize screen space. However, the text display when you switch the hold switch on is too small. If you could make it a little bigger that would be very nice.

Sure. Will look into it later today.

 

[cub0ne]

will give it a shot later mate.. thanks for the themes

@headwhacker:
 
Here is the modified wps file for AAFreak: https://www.sendspace.com/file/y70nra
 
I had to remove the comment info from the hold screen. There was no space, I had to remove something.
However, if there is an entry in the comment tag, it will appear alternately with the genre info.
Hope you like it.

Installed Cholero's latest build, and Deho's new set of themes, and it all works great - thanks for all the work on this!

new to this forum, but long time reader
I am looking at getting a DX50 but the stock sofware bugs me (bad tag management)
 
rockbox + dx50 :
- flac tag support is fully functional for browsing the database through artist / genre / album / ... ? or do you still need to organise it with folders
- is wavpack supported ? (it was wis rockbox and some old ipods)
 
cheers
