Does anyone here remember Rockbox? I still have my old Sansa player running it.
-
I have my iPod 5th gen running on RockBox. IMO it's even better than the stock firmware because it can play flacs.
-
And ogg and m4a and opus and so many more. I have an ipod 6th gen runnung rockbox. Its great. If the harddrive dies I'll replace it with sd-cards and still keep uaing it.
-
Yeah, I have the iFlash solo, works great.
-
-
I even had Doom running on it. The controls were difficult though
-
Oh, yeah, I played it too, got used to the controls enough to start having fun, though didn't finish any level.

Rockbox is cool, I just wish it was able to replace the base system without touching the UI. Something about it just feels off on an iPod. Even supposedly iPod-accurate themes just feel uncanny.

I've been using the adwaita dark one, matches my GNOME Fedora desktop on my PC.

It's a shame rockbox doesn't support video playback though.
How is stability for you? My 7th gen with about 750gb is pretty unstable, mostly I have a lot of difficulty transferring since the iPod crashes 15gb in all the time.
-
Mine's been great, though I have only about 2 GB of music on there.

-
Same, someone also added a new battery at some point so I have an awesome weeklong working device. And after rockbox, its even better.

Mine is also a Sansa! 😁👍

I used to use Sansa clip+ with Rockbox back when the audio quality on my phone was terrible.
