Re: Rockboxing the Sansa Clip+
I already upgraded mine to the latest version 
so its safe to use 
Iāll be upgrading to all the latest builds as they come along.
Re: Rockboxing the Sansa Clip+
You mentioned database, so is there any way to transfer playback count or date played data for each track back to a PC via some sort of sync.
Re: Rockboxing the Sansa Clip+
There is a last.fm scrobbler option, that records what tracks you have played etc. That might help you.
Database is the list of all songs by artist, album, etc. Just like the stock clip+ artist/album browsing scheme.

Some one help me with those error messages:(
Re: Rockboxing the Sansa Clip+
Was reading about it:
Rockbox - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
SanDisk Sansa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I will follow the link downloaded by Sunnyboi 
Where is the root directory? Can u please show a screen shot of what exactly you did :ashamed:
I found one small issue with FM.Whenever i start FM all i can hear is static, then i navigate to other radio stations, then the reception comes.
With 92% battery it showed 17 Hrs of play time remain. I dont believe it much though.
Bah. Mine always says -1m remaining no matter how much battery is left.
installed Rockbox. Amazing features. games, appsā¦there are lotās of stuff, I never knew.(knew about Rockbox, but never knew it had so many options)
I want the main menu to be same as that OF.(the big icon displaying only one option. viz Audio/ FM/ Voice/ Setting). Can that be done?
btw I have tested battery life of my sana clip+ by continuously playing songs, at mid level of volume and display was used as minimum as possible. I got 19hrs of playback.
Are you serious -19 hrs 
? That almost sounds impossible. During my testing of battery life using differentbitrate files the max juice I could get out of a Clip+ was 10 hrs with 128 kbps files , stock earphones and 0% screen usage. This is without memory card as well.
Otherwise , It gives ~7-8 hrs with 320 files and a better IEM. 6 hrs with memory card is the worst Ive seen .
Someone plz give me a demo how to install rockbox dayam!! pictorial demoā¦ plz take remopte access of my pc and help me 
I get 5 hours with flac and memory card :(. If this is true, I too will try rockbox, which I used before with other players.

i think i will have to charge it every 3rd day as the battery meter is not really accurate. shows good % then drops down instantly.
Does calibrating make any difference ?
Hey you really need not worry about doing it yourself
-
Download the two zip files mentioned by sunnyboi in 3rd post
-
Extract the two zip files in a folder. You will get one folder named .rockbox and two files (.sansa and.bin)
-
Copy these three things (.bin,.sansa files and .rockbox folder) to the root directory of you player (internal memory and not on micro sd card)
-
Safely remove the player from machine
-
It will showā¦Updating Firmware and then it will shutdown (i guess)
-
Restart the player it will boot in the new rock box firmware
-
In case you want to boot in original firmware, press the << button and then press power button to start the player in original firmware
All set ???
Root directory means anywhere in the internal memory or some specific folder?
I copy pasted things in the internal memory, on restart i saw message ROCKBOX firmwareā¦ file not found. 
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
and wat if i want to complete remove the rockbox and start it normally like it earlier did ,
i mean i dont want to press << and power on button to boot into the original firmware , i just want it to start like the normal factory settings ,
how to do that , some one please explain
Even i wanna un-rockbox it completely the options are way too much complicated for me help!
