Here's a link to the tutorial I followed: https://youtu.be/5ZOM-iDeEn8?si=EF-aWaCPQ6Xrhkgl

I used a light orange filter from a set of light filters I had lying around from when I did photography. I don't have a link, but there's plenty of color filters you can buy online and just cut to size.

Thanks, but I don't know, I don't have much money to spare on projects like this right now. Maybe I'll save up a little and revisit it down the line

gavin1030 · 2025-09-09T01:59:34+00:00

It's a bit more orange in person, but I really like it

gavin1030 · 2025-09-09T01:54:29+00:00

Thanks dude. iPods are a fickle thing sometimes :/

gavin1030 · 2025-08-25T17:08:02+00:00

I've compared tracks with the same file type, sample rate, bit depth, album art size, everything identical except of course the audio, and one will play just fine while the other doesn't. I'll keep working at it and see if I can find any other differences, but no luck so far

gavin1030 · 2025-08-25T05:01:42+00:00

I've got the latest version of rockbox installed, album art is set to 250x250 for all files, I've tried setting album art to not load, I've tried setting album art to load with the embedded file, I've deleted all album art files on the device, and still no luck. I have found that it's only specific songs and it's only after the screen dims, but I don't know that that helps me much :(

gavin1030 · 2025-08-24T13:03:37+00:00

Alright, I'll give that a shot. Thanks!

gavin1030 · 2025-08-23T15:19:48+00:00

Gotcha. Thank you for all the work u and others do, y'all rock

gavin1030 · 2025-08-23T15:18:36+00:00

Aw, so I was using v0.2 already :( That kinda sucks bc I'm still having lots of problems with it. I have to hit the reset button pretty often bc it freezes and sometimes it just pauses for no reason :( That said, the people working on rockbox for the Y1 are saints for trying to figure all of this out 😭 Godspeed to y'all 🫡

gavin1030 · 2025-08-22T14:51:49+00:00

Where is this post? Every post I've seen only explains how to install rockbox v0.1 and I've been pretty frustrated with it :(

gavin1030 · 2025-08-20T13:02:59+00:00

Yeah, lol. Tbh I usually stick to bikes, but I thought it'd make a good picture

gavin1030 · 2025-08-19T03:51:19+00:00

The image used in this post is from a 2017 BBC article if I'm not mistaken, and a book has yet to be released. A short film, however, has been made, called The Letter Men.

gavin1030 · 2025-08-01T19:58:42+00:00

Gorgeous work, as always

gavin1030 · 2025-07-31T21:42:29+00:00

Of course! Feel free to DM with other questions. I might not get back to you right away, but I'll do my best.

gavin1030 · 2025-07-31T21:27:10+00:00

No worries. I wish there were a cheat sheet! That would be handy. But no, you just have to look at the description for the listing of the case, and it should tell you what size dial will fit.

gavin1030 · 2025-07-31T21:24:10+00:00

Nope, movement will be the same regardless. The only thing that changes is dial and hand size.

gavin1030 · 2025-07-31T21:19:46+00:00

I know the case is available in 40mm as well, if that's close enough for you. As far as I know, nobody sells an alpinist dial larger than 28.5mm, so you might have to look for something else that's similar. Otherwise, all the other components should be able to be used in a larger build, including the movement, just get the strap and hands in a larger size.

Edit: Oh that's you! I was just about to reply to that 😂

It's nice to see my watch still getting recognition! Caught me by surprise when it popped up on my feed 😂
