Rockbox Android Fork for Innioasis Y1

Rockbox Menu	Rockbox WPS

General Information

This is an experimental build of Rockbox that is not in any way associated with or developed by Innioasis/Timmkoo.

Most of the work was already done by the original Rockbox team - all credits to them.

I mostly added quick hacks to make this usable on a device without any touch inputs.

Do NOT run this if you don't know what you are doing. You might brick your device in the process of installing this app. You have been warned.

To install the Rockbox ROM, choose one of the releases, download rom.zip, extract it and follow this guide (but use the downloaded rom.zip instead of Y1-English v2.0.7-20241021.rar): https://support.innioasis.com/download/flashing_tutorial/Flashing_tutorial-Y1_EN%20v2.0.7-20241021.pdf

• root the device (see https://xdaforums.com/t/root-framaroot-a-one-click-apk-to-root-some-devices.2130276/):

wget https://supersuroot.org/downloads/supersu-2-82.apk
adb install supersu-2-82.apk
adb install Framaroot-1.9.3.apk
adb shell monkey -p com.alephzain.framaroot -c android.intent.category.LAUNCHER 1
# wait for it to start
adb shell input keyevent DPAD_DOWN

• Download the latest Rockbox release APK from the sidebar
• Download the latest Rockbox libs.tar.gz and unpack it (tar -xzf libs.tar.gz) such that there is a folder called libs/armeabi
• Either use one of the preinstalled themes or supply your own in the .rockbox folder on the SD card
• Uninstall any apps you do not want

# list packages
adb shell pm list packages
# uninstall package
adb uninstall <package>
# or if that fails
adb shell pm disable-user <package>

• Uninstall old Rockbox version (can be skipped if v0.1 was never installed)

adb uninstall org.rockbox

• Install rockbox as system app:

adb remount
adb push rockbox-[release].apk /system/app/org.rockbox.apk
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/org.rockbox.apk
adb shell chown root:root /system/app/org.rockbox.apk
adb push libs/armeabi/librockbox.so /system/lib/
adb shell chmod 644 /system/lib/librockbox.so
adb shell chown root:root /system/lib/librockbox.so
adb shell rm -rf /data/data/org.rockbox/lib
adb shell mkdir /data/data/org.rockbox/lib
adb push libs/armeabi/* /data/data/org.rockbox/lib/.

• Restart the device, choose Rockbox as launcher when asked

adb reboot

• (optional) Download the voice pack from the releases, extract it, drag the .rockbox folder onto your device
• If rockbox gets stuck at the Rockbox logo and doesn't load your theme please delete .rockbox/config.cfg on your SD card

How to restart the app

When you initialize the database Rockbox will ask you to restart. You can do this via Main Menu > System > Restart Rockbox (last option in list).

Known issues

• Setting different theme might need a restart of Rockbox (Main Menu > System > Restart Rockbox) or clearing the backdrop (Theme Settings)
• Rockbox might randomly crash (usually recovers on its own now) - restart your device or Rockbox via:

adb shell monkey -p org.rockbox -c android.intent.category.LAUNCHER 1

Experimental Podcast Downloader

This feature is not pre-built because it relies on ignoring SSL verification when downloading files specified by RSS feeds. This is a security risk.

If you want to use it, follow the instructions (here)[android/scripts/podcast_downloader/HOWTO.md].

Afterwards follow the android build instructions and install the modified version.

Then run Main Menu > System > Sync Podcasts to download the specified podcasts. You will need an active wifi connection.
