You convince me! I'll do as soon as I find a bit of time. How long does it possibly take for the operation?
Any Android phone can run a player that supports ogg and flac.
I've only replaced the OS on one of the many Android phones I've owned, it was too much effort.
If RockBox installation is as difficult as CyanogenMod installation (and it's probably more difficult) then the time taken to install multiplied by the hourly rate of someone who is capable of doing the installation would exceed the ebay purchase price of a quite usable Android phone.
I think nobody's suggesting to by an iSomething and replace its firmare, but if you already have a perfectly working ipod-nano II, like me, I think it's a good idea to make it a bit more free.
You could do that if it's fun for you. But if you want to just get something working then buying something that just works from ebay would be easier.
And I find the car mode so amazing!!!!! I want it!
As far as cyanogen's concerned, I installed it to my Nexus 7 (first edition), still with the old "difficult" way, but I don't find it difficult at all. As far as I know nowdays there is a much simpler installer.
The installation shouldn't have been very difficult when I did it. But things didn't go the way they should have even though I followed all instructions. Nexus devices are probably easier because there's little variation. But for phones sold by Telcos (such as the Optus Galaxy S I used) there can be subtle differences that break things. Fortunately the Galaxy series is difficult to brick. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
