I am trying to make rockbox
Rockbox - Open Source Jukebox Firmware to run on my e680i. Using ipodvideo setting (320x240), successfuly run it on my device with poor sound quality. I made some performance tweak but now rockboxui always raise seg. fault and I forgot to save previous working setup
I think it's nice if we can make e680i/a780 as a multimedia jukebox. Have an ipod on e680i/a780
Don't worry about firmware mod, this version using rockbox sdl simulator for arm cpu target.

Installation instructions for rockbox-bleeding-20070909
1. Download unzip utility from here and Rockbox from RapidShare
2. Copy extracted unzip utility and still compressed Rockbox to your memory card.
3. Using eKonsole or over telnet:
Code:
# cd /mmc/mmca1
# ./unzip rockbox-bleeding-20070909.zip
4. For A1200/E6 user:
Code:
# cd /mmc/mmca1
# ./unzip rockbox/qt-2.3.10-a1200.zip
5. Install appropriate package for specific device from rockbox directory on your memory card.
Update 20071125:
Please download rockbox-common-20071125.rar and the appropriate package for your
device (rockbox-[device]-20071125.rar), extract and copy to /mmc/mmca1/rockbox folder.
rockbox-a1200-20071125.rar contains both rockbox-a1200.pkg and rockbox-rokr_e6.pkg.
rockbox-e680i-20071125.rar contains both rockbox-e680i.mpkg and rockbox-a780.mpkg.
For E680g user, you can try rockbox for E680i package. ROKR E2 package not
tested yet since I have no E2 device.
Update:
- Native SDL library (no need qte-2.3.10 anymore), disabling screen update when LCD off, and efficient rotation code. The result: less CPU power usage = less battery usage but faster
- Can hide to background, very important for A1200 and A780 user
- Support --flipscreen option, you have to edit rockbox.sh manually
Known problems:
- FM radio on E680i sometimes not working, I don't know why.
- FM radio on another device not working yet
- fire, mosaique, plasma, midiplay, mp3_encoder, mpegplayer make Rockbox crash

Device specific note:

and rockbox.portrait-a780.mpkg).

4. ROKR E2
You can try, but I can't promise it's works since I have no access to
E2 device.
To show an album art in while playing screen, you have to prepare 100x100
pixel bitmap image (*.bmp) and save it as cover.bmp. Copy the image to the
appropriate album directory.
To show a song lyric in sncviewer plugin, rename *.lrc file to *.lrc8 and
then copy the file to a directory same as the song directory. The *.lrc8 file
and the song file must have a same name (except the file extension of course!).
Rockbox have many options, if something goes wrong and have no idea how to
fix manually, just run clearconfig.sh script over telnet, console (eKonsole),
or linloader.
Touchscreen support:
- Click on menu list to select a list
- If the list have a header, click on the header back to the list root menu
- If the list have no list header, click on the status bar back to the list root menu
To catch your device SDL key value, you can run rockbox with --debugwps option
over telnet on console:
# cd /mmc/mmca1/rockbox
# . /mmc/mmca1/rockbox/setenv.sh
# rockboxui --debugwps
BUG:
If you need to flip the screen upside down (exist only on landscape mode) over
Settings - General Settings - Display - LCD Settings - Upside Down, do not use
RIGHT button to change the value (Yes/No) but SELECT button. If you use the
RIGHT button, all button will stop responding until you press the RIGHT button
once again.
For any suggestions, comments, or bug reports, please do not send me an email
directly but please go to MotorolaFans.com .
