Hi,
May I post a couple of a simple user comments here :
1- forum/website inactive meaning not many new users : that's logical
considering most ports are discontinued.
BUT also meaning users like me have no problem with rockbox so don't
search forum/site.
2- Ports vs smartphone : I still use my ports (D2 & Sansa Clip+/zip) for
their better battery life + size
> Alex : I disagree : rockbox for Android is very usable : I use it
with no problem on a daily basis while driving (larger, more readable
screen). The only thing I miss is the ability to change the main menu
list & order (...and buttons... but that's a port issue).
I used to get frequent freezes but I probably got used to avoid what
triggered them so they are rare now. By the way I recommend to create a
shutdown shortcut, thus avoiding the need to force stop the app through
android.
Tshaw !!
Steph.

BTW, what happened that you became inactive?
Best regards.
I can't see anything particularly obvious, but it has been a while since
last we did it - I'm sure there were little things here and there, but
nothing too major.
I'd suggest having a period before releasing if for nothing other than
translations. If you want to do RCs there is a web page to build them
for you IIRC, but I can't quite remember how well it integrates into RBUtil.
As for me becoming rather inactive - nothing in particular, just a
combination of not really using Rockbox these days (I only use my phone
for music and sadly Rockbox isn't quite ready there*) and various things
in real life leaving less time just to hang around in the channel.

* although I noted the resolution scaling patch with interest, and would
love to use Rockbox - no other music players on Android are really any
good either.
