How to install ?
--- Just need to have a modded firmware like magic elba or any other one with support *.mgx files.

Keys:

Camera button = Quit Rockbox
SoftKey Left = Hide
SoftKey Right = Return to Main Menu

Keyboard configuration:
Left softkey: Hide to background
Right softkey: Return to main menu
Camera button: Quit

Note
If after you opened rockbox, you open java, this may lead to rockbox not being able to switch to front again, you'll need to kill it with Task Manager

Hi all - Rockbox won't work for me - when I click it in mgkbox a 'umount busy' error is displayed. Any suggestions?

[Xtian89]

You have to flash with a newer firmware to solve it...

[melmoth]

thanks very much will give it a try

I'm on Z-Mod (2.1.0) and I got the same error! Wtf! It's a new MP with a new firmware.

Maybe it has something to do with...swap? I don't really know what swap is I'm guessing it's something like virtual memory on windows, but I don't have it on mu E8.

Z-Mod supports swap, so how do I enable/make it? Partition manager 0.o ?

*EDIT* Fixed it!

You should edit run.sh in ROCKBOX directory:

From

#!/bin/sh

MYFILE=`basename $0`
MYPATH=`echo $0 | sed -e 's/''//g'`
ROCKBOXDIR=`busybox_full dirname "$0"`
ROCKBOXROOT=/simdisk

to

#!/bin/sh

MYFILE=`basename $0`
MYPATH=`echo $0 | sed -e 's/''//g'`
ROCKBOXDIR=`busybox dirname "$0"`
ROCKBOXROOT=/simdisk

Just change busybox_full to busybox. Now going to test it out.

i cannot get this to work either - using latest bestwebs fw, and the mgx doesn't even give me an error message!

~FIXED using the cfg edit above ^^

ok so can i update rockbox with original software so it's up to date with bugfixes and etc? i entered on their website and i got lost:"> i know i sound
stupid....

[Xtian89]

Sorry bro, but it´s not upgradable.
But at least you can custom it by installing new fonts, themes (some may not work) and CFG files for improving the sound.
And plugins too, i guess (.rockbox files)
