Yes, read my older post for modded firmware. However, consider your purchase carefully. Benjie does not control quality very well, mine came with improperly soldered headphone jack and upon resolder attempt the pads came off with the jack. They also use lots of glue

That's sad to hear. No wonder the headphone jack died on my S5 after a year or so. It's still a worthy purchase though.

I've already bought it, now I'm currently on firmware 1.07 beta, what should I do first for rockbox?

Fixing it is very simple. Refer to this article https://makercorner.blogspot.com/2017/08/benjie-s5agptek-m20-music-player-review.html to know where to open the player. You can see the jack is very incompetently soldered, be it unintentional or intentional. If you have access to a decent solder station you should be able to fix it in 3 minutes. I used a knock off Hakko station that can pump out 60W which I got for $20.

Just play around the settings and customise to your needs. You may experience some bugs though. Mine is toast so I can't comment on what bugs still exist

I donated my music player to someone. Sounds like too much work for a $25 a player for an average consumer.

I don't think I have seen the original Benjie firmware file. You can use AGPTek firmware without rockbox support if you don't want rockbox anymore. Its usability is actually better than Benjie original

I've had my player for about a year now. The battery life is terrible, about 2 hours before it's dead. If I leave the player alone for an extended period, the battery is dead. Recommend a Sansa e200 series over this one, batteries are easily replaceable and very cheap, lasts 8+ hours.

Well, that just sounds like you have a faulty battery and not something that's indicative of the entire production line.

I've had mine for close to 2 years and I consistently get 8+ hours while fiddling with it a lot. Which is still bad, don't get me wrong (I'm probably gonna get a Plenue D because of this issue). But 8 hours is a far cry from 2 hours.
