Rockbox VGA (Updated to stable 3.7 release)

As an avid Rockbox user, I was excited when I discovered this page with precompiled apk's for us. Link I then sadly found out there was no VGA version, only QVGA, HVGA, and WVGA. So I decided to compile it for our beloved VGA RAPH devices. I attached the .apk. Download and install rockboxfixed.apk, download this and extract the "fonts" folder (Inside the zip it is /rockbox-fonts/.rockbox/fonts) to the "rockbox" folder on your sdcard then it should look like the second image and should be more usable. It appears, however, if you extract it to the sdcard you have to manually use the rockbox filebrowser or the theme settings to set it to your selected font. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Outdated: Haven't really gotten to test it so I expect I made an error somewhere, possible in signing the app or whatnot. I'll fix it tomorrow.
P.S. For anyone who doesn't know what Rockbox is: http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/WhyRockbox
Edit: Noticed some issues then realized I compiled it for 640 x 480 landscape not 480 x 640 portrait like it should be. Uploaded a new version. *Crosses fingers*
Edit 2: To fix the tiny font follow these steps:
1. Download and extract this and extract it to your sdcard so you have a folder called "fonts" at the root of your sdcard.
2. Open terminal emulator and type: su
3. Type cd sdcard
4. Type cp -af fonts /data/data/org.rockbox/app_rockbox/rockbox
That should do it. It should now look like the second screenshot when you open rockbox. I'll see if I can incorporate the fonts into the apk but not sure how to do that right now.
Edit 3: Wow, just discovered something. You can just copy the fonts folder the the "rockbox" folder at the root of your sdcard. Makes it significantly easier.

Thanks for doing that. Man, i used to have an iRiver, and used and grabbed daily builds for that thing. For other's, it's a really awesome mediaplayer. Well, more then that. I was playing arcade games and doom and such thanks to Rockbox really. This was amazing for an MP3 player that is.

Yeah, I have a Gigabeat S that I LOVE with Rockbox. Best music experience hands down. But also, like you said, I played through doom and every Pokemon for Game boy. Sigh... good times. Anyways, have you tried my apk? Just curious how it works.

Downloaded it, and will give it a shot later and report back. Thanks again.

Ok, tried it last night, and not usable. Something about the screen size might be wrong, as the screen fill's up the top left corner (about 1/16 of the screen), and the menu is so small you literally have to squint to read the text, instead of it filling the whole screen. I don't have a picture, but honestly, if you think about an icon size in "Sense", the whole screen menu is honestly MUCH smaller in size in whole then 1 Sense icon.

Yeah, I noticed the same thing. I found a fix and am about to edit the first post.

ok,sounds good, will definately try the new version. Not meaning to get off topic,but noticing ur sig, what's ur take on Ubuntu on our devices? Lots not working,but not needing 3d accel for now, if mouse,keyboard, and screen at least works at a usable state,just to play with. Since guessing u use or at least test it, wanted to get some feedback from ya.

Well, it's not so much a new version as a way to fix the previous one. Anyways, Ubuntu is actually rather usable. Mouse, keyboard, and screen all work; it's just a little slow but not too bad. Sound is now partly working too.

Does it play .flv files?

No, it's a music player first and foremost. The only video format it supports is mpeg2 and I'm not even sure if video is supported in the Android version.

Hi there,
Not a dev or anything, just an avid music junky...
Wanted to let you know that the fonts fix doesn't work on HTC Desire w/ Froyo. Sort of did everything as described but nothing.
Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!

That's a native Android device... Not sure why you're posting in the Fuze section. Do they have the same resolution, and there is no RockBox app that is for the Desire...? I'd be surprised.

First off, you should download the WVGA version from here not the one I posted. Second, did you try copying the fonts folder to both locations, within the data folder and the sdcard? Just curious if one might work and not the other. I also changed the first post to be a little more clear. Actually I'm having a little trouble with getting it to recognize the fonts on the sdcard too. I just took the rockbox people's word for it. One way to fix it is to use the rockbox filebrowser and just select the font you want. That should do it.
P.S. I'm no dev either, I just know how to use a Linux command line somewhat.

JesusFreak316 thank you for the info. Im a huge fan of Rockbox for audiobooks. when someone gets Timestretch working it'll be content.

You're very welcome. Timestretch has nothing to do with me, as I'm sure you already know. That's up to the real rockbox devs to incorporate. Just out of curiosity, what do you use timestretch for? I use it for learning guitar licks in songs.

Finally... I've been asking for a Rockbox port for ages!
Will try it out on my Desire and let you know... keep it up dude!

That's sounds like there was a stable Rockbox build for Android which totally isn't true. It's *unstable* and largely unusable. 3.7 is stable for a lot of other devices, but not even a single android phone.

I guess that's true, but what should I call it then? It didn't seem unstable to me though, just incomplete.

LAST UPDATED: 4/2/2012
WHERE ARE WE NOW? IS IT BOOTING? CAN I GET A NEW ROM W/ AN ICS KERNEL?
Is it booting? Yes.
Is there a new ROM for the kernel? Yes. It's still a work in progress and likely to continue changing as the kernel gets more developed.
Can I test the new ROM? Right now, there's no reason to run this ROM unless you're working on the kernel and/or bug testing. It is booting into the OS now and as soon as I fix up the Wifi and SD MMC mount, I'll probably put up a test link for testers -- lots to bugfix, this isn't "usable" yet. Especially since we don't have the Ducati loading for hw codecs.
How long will it take to fix? There is no way to know. I work on the kernel about 4-5 nights a week, and when I fix something, there's always something behind it which needs fixing as well. I am making good progress (in my opinion), but that may still mean weeks of development.
I'm going to keep a page updated on my blog so that at any point in time if you're curious what the output of the boot up looks like you can go take a look (this will be mostly technical output and don't worry if it much of it doesn't make sense):
http://blog.hash-of-codes.com/kindle-fire-ics/
[NOTE: I've now highlighted items in green which are good and some red items still to be fixed.]
2nd post has the current status in more detail

UPDATED 4/7
WORKING -- WILL NEED TESTING:
EXT4 MMC Filesystem Access
USB Android Gadget with modes like ADB and MTP (Do we want mass storage also?)
Battery / Charger Driver
Display driver / SGX / ION now plays nice w/ 512M memory (originally the 3.0 kernel was hard coded for 1G of memory)
Touchscreen is working
Sensors are working to detect tilt / movement
Power button working (no colored leds yet)
New Audio driver from TI is working (thanks nook_lover!)
Headset output / recording
Internal media partition mount
Ducati binary is being loading by the system now and the OMX server is starting -- NEEDS TESTING -- probably still won't work -- but its progress towards hardware codecs
PARTIALLY WORKING:
New Backlight Driver is now partially working. Won't adjust brightness yet, but it's coming.
:| Wireless device and driver is being recognized. Still troubleshooting.
STILL BROKEN:
:/ Color Changing Power Button Leds - Old Driver needs to be updated
FUTURE CHANGES IF NECESSARY:
- Touchscreen Driver has a newer straight Linux driver available which would need minor Android customization (current driver seems ok for now)
- Charger Driver has a newer straight Linux driver available which could be customized for Android (will probably do this one eventually. The current charger driver is very messy)
- Battery Gauge has a generic 3.0 android driver available. It would need minor customization (may or may not rewrite this one eventually)

Glad to hear it's coming along well. Keep up the good work!

WatchESPN stutter?
Do other people see video stutter on live video using the WatchESPN app?
I'm running a recent CM11 build and connected to a wired network. All other streaming apps (Comcast, BTN2Go, Netflix, Hulu, ...) play flawlessly, but WatchESPN shows a regular pattern of video pauses approximately 2 seconds apart.
I also tried to force 720p using the instructions at the beginning of this thread. Oddly, neither my monitor nor system panel reported 720p, both still reported 1080 after a reboot. I was able to force 720p from a terminal using the 'wm size' command, but the WatchESPN stutter remained.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hey everyone,
First of all - thanks to everyone involved in getting Cyanogenmod on the Ouya. Such a better experience than the stock OS.
Quick question for anyone who may have come across an answer - I've been looking for a while now.....
I've tried installing Bell TV (similar to other live TV streaming apps on mobile devices), but when I try and stream, it won't allow it because an external display is connected. Is there any way to spoof the Ouya running Cyanogenmod to believe there is no external display?

CM11 which version to start?
Hi,
I have thinking of installing cm11 but i am a real novice when it comes to android. I have already rooted the device and use play store. What i wanted to know is there a preferred stable version to use or do i just select the latest nightly to try.
Also if anything does go wrong or i decide to want to go back to stock os is there a process for this? Where do i get a copy of the stock os to flash?
Sorry for the basic questions!

One method that works on rk3066/3188 devices is changing the content of the file stored at /sys/devices/virtual/switch/hdmi/state from '1' to '0'. I've been unable to change it on the Ouya. Apparently something in the kernel governs whether this file can be changed. I have no idea how to fix it though.

Thanks for the suggestion, feathers. I was able to change the file and save it. However, the app still detected an external display. Then I restarted the Ouya to see what would happen - the "state" file just reverted back to 1. I think you're right, something in the kernel must change it back - not sure what to do about it!

So I went through Xposed Framework, couldn't find any modules that would fix the problem though. There's a couple of app-specific modules for apps such as 4oTV, but I can't find anything that indicates it may work system-wide.

Hey Paul,
Not sure if you've tried to install CM already, but here are my thoughts:
Since CM11 on the Ouya is an unofficial release, and is also relatively new, I don't believe there is a stable release. I just used one of the nightlies to install though, and it went just fine.
As for reverting to stock, I'm not exactly sure about the details to be honest. Haven't tried it! I imagine reverting the OS to stock would not be very hard, you'd just have to reflash from recovery. Not sure about the bootloader, though.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply I did load CM11 but had to overcome an issue updating CWM Recovery which had been corrupted by an OUYA update. However all loaded fine and I have to say I much prefer CM11.
Just one issue to resolve now and that is I have no boot menu appearing even though I flashed it several times with no errors. I suspect it is something similar to what was stopping me originally loading CWM. It's a bit of a pain as I have no idea how to solve the issue. I think I will try to ADB Sideload it to see if I can see specific errors . I posted a question in the Help forum and hopefully someone will be able to offer some advice.
Thanks again.

Mouse stops working during video playback
Hi, I finally got CM11 running on my Ouya but I have a problem with video playback.
Playback works fine but the mouse pointer stops working as soon as the video starts playing (I'm using a USB Logitech k400). So, I can't change the play position, video settings, etc. Physical buttons still work, like back/esc, space/pause, home, etc.
Tested this problem with the following apps:
Netflix
Twitch
Crunchyroll
Chrome (when playing a full screen video)
Somehow the Youtube app doesn't have this problem (XBMC either).
Am I missing a setting or is this a problem with CM?
Thanks for the help.

Hi, I have the same problem with Netflix... Don't know why

Wifi & Bluetooth with 16gb Black.
Is there any possibllity that there is a fix for the non-working wifi and bluetooth on a 16gb unit.? I tried several revisions, but none work.

setprop persist.tegra.hdmi.resolution 720p
What does
setprop persist.tegra.hdmi.resolution 720p
*really* do?
I have the property set, but my monitor and various 'system info' type apps still report 1080. I edited the entry in build.props as well just to test, and still 1080. My monitor definitely supports both 1080 and 720 resolutions. I've tried various builds from early October, through current.
If I open a terminal and use 'wm size' it reports back physical size 1080. I can issue a 'wm size 720p' and apps will start reporting 720p, but 'wm size' then reports physical size 1080 and override size of 720.
I've triple checked my spelling and I am setting the correct persist property. I know things are working because I can alter overscan using setprop and the changes are as expected.
If the persist.tegra.hdmi.resolution property is set to 720p does the internal framebuffer actually get reduced in size, or are graphics still rendered at 1080 internally, then scaled to a 720p output?
Can someone with a working 720p configuration tell me what is reported by 'wm size' in a terminal?
TIA

[N910C/H][DEV] AOSP sources

*omg, thread updating needed*
Hey guys, as some of you might know, I was donated a Galaxy Note 4 (N910C) and am now working on AOSP for it.
The sources required to build a ROM are hosted at GitHub currently:
device: https://github.com/teameos/device_samsung_treltexx/
kernel: https://github.com/raymanfx/kernel_samsung_trelte/
vendor: https://github.com/raymanfx/vendor_samsung_treltexx/
If you want to give this a shot, you should be familiar with git and repo and be able to sync the TeamEos source yourself.
If anybody feels brave enough, give it a try yourself, all the required bits are posted above
TODO/BROKEN:
Bluetooth headset calls (RX works, TX is broken)
Open source AVC (H.264) Encoder is broken (Videos recorded in portrait are rotated by 90° counter clockwise, and there's artifacts all over the place)
Everything else should be pretty much working.

hopefully watching all your work. congratulations.

hey! any progress on this? I'm really excited!

Congratulations

First success:
The phone is booting and the adb server is starting.
I'm still missing some sensor blobs from stock which causes the sensor layer not to start and thus prevent various other init tasks (such as display, EGL) to crash.
I'm going to work on getting at least display up this weekend.
No promises though.

This is great news. Thanks for this hard work. Thank you for making our donation future experience CM12.

someone was trying to port CM11 to galaxy alpha.. i guess its a similar kernel..

Awesome work looking forward to seeing it on my N910U... hopefully

Great :good:

Awesome!

More progress today:
The device partially boots now, boot animation shows but that's where it loops.
Sensors are fully working and storage handling (internal storage, external sdcard and usbdisk) have been fixed.
I'm still missing some camera blobs which I believe keep the device from booting up (because it crashes other init services).
I'll look into that tomorrow probably.
All the latest fixes have been pushed to my github repos, so if anyone in here feels like experimenting a bit, let me know how it goes

Progress?

Well, as stated on the first post, it'd probably make more sense to watch my github for progress instead of asking in this thread.. Just saying.
Big progress has been made in terms of audio, as I finally got around to configuring proper mixer paths for audio devices here: https://github.com/RaymanFX/device_samsung_trelte/commit/c5954750b5c13ce9bf27992f145a18a837099e12.
I had to do lots of research because there is little to no documentation on these mixer_paths.xml configs, so I ended up creating it from scratch based on Samsung's UCM config.
The device still doesn't boot further than the bootanimation, but I still have some interesting lines in the logs to solve, for example it still reports invalid input/output devices in audioflinger, which clearly is an issue.
At least the issues preventing us from booting are no actual display issues, but init services crashing.
Also, it looks like the RIL is starting up after adding Samsung's cbd daemon to early init execution (ramdisk), but I don't expect telephony/mobile data to work just yet.

Lineage by Ripee and Netflix in HD

I like to share two links:
https://basketbuild.com/devs/ripee/gts210wifi
Here you find Ripee's unofficial lineage 14. The rom haven't got a thread but it is working great. I didn't test it all, but haven't found any bugs after using a few weeks. It is literally a nightly, every day a new build (but there aren't always changes (see size of the file). But it remains smooth. And Netflix is working!
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-s2/help/netflix-hd-tab-s2-t3274295/post64388574
Here is how to get Netflix working in HD (the Netflix app doesn't recognize our tab as HD by default). You can rebuild the apk yourself or use the rebuild apk from Jens1969. After the update from Netflix, he share's his rebuilded apk. Find his latest post in the thread.

I build for gts210wifi daily because that's the tablet I have an I'm too impatient to wait a week for official builds. I haven't created my own thread since there is no need to create more than one thread for unofficial builds if official builds are available. Netflix works in my builds because I've kept T_I's original fix from way back when (see my github), which he abandoned on gerrit on the grounds of its being "inelegant". As a user, I don't care whether it's elegant or not, I care that it works! This fix is a silver bullet: it restores the functionality of a very popular app without having any effect on the other functions of the tablet.
If there is interest in the other variants of the 2015 Tab S2, I will build them. Right now I'm trying to figure out how to fix the bluetooth, mic, and fingerprint problems of the gts28wifi. Since only the 9.7 ones have official builds, I may also start building daily for gts28wifi and gts28ltexx.
On a related matter, we have official TWRP for all 4 variants and the latest bootloaders and modems for all 4 in my BL_CP folder on BasketBuild.

Thanks for the heads-up on this. I was wondering why Netflix wasn't even showing itself as available to me on Lineage official 14.1 and found this pointer.
I used the most recent apk from Jens and am able to run NF again.

I don't know how to get proof of HD quality....

Thanks for the link.
Hmm, it get not higher then 720x480 with none of the video's in the link (downloadspeed 50 mb/s). A bit disappointing...

I hope you can build one for smt 715 variant. All the rom i've tested so fare have fingerprint problems but i use it a lot. If you find a way tab s2 8" user will be very grateful =D

I like to share two links:
https://basketbuild.com/devs/ripee/gts210wifi
Here you find Ripee's unofficial lineage 14. The rom haven't got a thread but it is working great. I didn't test it all, but haven't found any bugs after using a few weeks. It is literally a nightly, every day a new build (but there aren't always changes (see size of the file). But it remains smooth. And Netflix is working!

Here is how to get Netflix working in HD (the Netflix app doesn't recognize our tab as HD by default). You can rebuild the apk yourself or use the rebuild apk from Jens1969. After the update from Netflix, he share's his rebuilded apk. Find his latest post in the thread.
