Could someone try Rockbox on S3 Mini?

[tuma2]

Hi all,

I am planning to buy S3 mini. I am using Rockbox (http://www.rockbox.org) to play my music and speech files (ogg & spx). Rockbox is very good player for this purpose; I am very used to it and cannot replace it with anything. The most important features for me are that it has bookmarks and ability to set playback speed.

I would like to know how well this app works on S3 mini. It is pretty buggy on my Galaxy 3 (i5800) and I would like to know if it works fine on S3 mini. It is reported to work very well on many phones, but some phones have troubles.

Could someone please test it out? I compiled and attached an apk file (rockbox.apk) for the resolution of s3 mini (800x480).

I provide some test files (ogg and spx files, testfiles.zip and config.cfg (rename config.txt to config.cfg and put in rockbox folder) for testing purposes.

Thank you in advance

Best regards
Tuomas

Thanks! That's good start, at least Did you try any rewinding / fast forwarding? Maybe some bookmarking.. and did you try widget? CPU usage is reasonably low? If someone is enthustiastic enough, I could give my config file to carry out some more testing (can be found in first message now). And if possible, play back more files for some time, not just few seconds. Or I could just go and buy that phone now that it's pretty cheap... but let me tell you that this is one of the most important features I am expecting from my new phone, and I would be quite disappointed if rockbox failed :/ Thanks for helping!

Regarding CPU usage you can't compare this shiny thing to the galaxy3 at all, the i5800 was outdated on release regarding it's capabilitys and Samsung did not have the knowledge on how to build good devices at that time.

High Rockbox CPU usage could be due to bug that appear in only some devices.
But question is now already obsolete, I bought galaxy S2 and I am happy with it.


Thanks,
