rockbox themes not working

Hi, so I just got my innioasis y1 and installed rockbox on it. I have tried everything, but any theme I try to install on it will not display correctly. It will change to the correct font and colors, but nothing else changes. I'm extremely frustrated because this was the entire reason I bought an innioasis in the first place. Help?

Very Weird Question (MP4)

Ok so right now i have an ipod nano gen 7, it “only“ has 14gb and i fully intend to fill it with music at some point or another, and move onto a Y1. I have a weird little goal that i want to achieve with the Y1 (or Y2, will depend on when i fill up the ipod) i want to put a bunch of my DVD collection on the device alongside my music collection as i intend to get the 1tb version (or upgrade the storage myself) and i was curious if anyone has any experience about how complicated it is to put and use MP4s (or other video formats) on the Y1. I do also fully intend on using the Y1 as my main music device, but i would love to be able to take a bunch of movies and shows on the go alongside my music (like imagine being able to pull out an ipod like device and just watch dragon ball z on it). Like i said this is just a little goal/project i want to do cause i think it would be fun but i just cant seem to find many people online talking about the video playing features this device has. If anyone has experience let me know how it went or if anyone has any suggestions on a different device that would work better (ie other mp3 players that have reliable mp4 playback and bluetooth capabilities, but still have that ipod vibe/aesthetic).
Thank yall in advance :)

Recently got a Y1 & wanted to share how it's looking!

Hello everyone!

As you can read from the title, I recently just got myself an Innioasis Y1. I've been eyeing to get one for the longest time and finally just decided why the heck not lol

I'm currently building my music library and making sure I have timed lyric files, so adding music to my Y1 has been slow, mainly because I wanna ensure all the music I want is ready first before I decide to transfer it :)

Also, I didn't realize how tedious the effort it would take to remove the casing and swap out the SD card ( •̥́ ˍ •̀ू ) Thankfully I was able to swap out the 128GB with a 512GB one!! Yippieee lol

Basically, I just wanted to share how it looks so far and I'm really happy with it tbh! (Yes, that's Mitski on the polaroid haha)

That's all for now! (´▽`)ノ♪

Hi! Just got my Y1 and the album covers are cropping strangely?

https://preview.redd.it/iwru1qw2ab2h1.png?width=4280&format=png&auto=webp&s=9c0c123b021031a51275c9584e267172606dc999

I used MP3Tag to resize them to 300x300 as they downloaded at 600x600, but the edges are cutoff? Some of them aren't even centered.... Is there any way to fix this without having to manually replace every cover? Is 300x300 too big?

I'm really loving the Y1 so far, but this cover thing is getting a little annoying, admittedly.

PS: the theme I am using is a Fight Club theme by u/highwaycrisis and you can find it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/innioasis/comments/1td34gz/pixel_fight_club_theme_customization_options/

cannot figure out how to install rockbox themes for the life of me

Hi all

I just got a new Y1 and installed rockbox very easily.

I've been trying to install rockbox themes for the last 2 hours and ive tried EVERYTHING. installing it with the innioasis updater, installing it with the rockbox utility (device set to ipod video or ipod classic) and ive tried the plain old file manager method.

what am i doing wrong??

i cannot find any info on this at all.

Help! Nothing will play?

Just got my Y1 today and was super excited but this is what happens when I try to play anything at all. It just immediately skips to the next song and doesn’t play any of them. These are all mp3 files. This happens across multiple themes, I’m using rockbox. What am I doing wrong?

Received my Y1 a few days ago and have few questions

I received my Y1 a few days ago and have slowly been figuring things out, but naturally I am running into a few questions. I’m using the stock OS as I couldn’t really get Rockbox themes to work. Apologies if this is a lengthy post and contains questions that’ve been asked many times before. Even if you know the answer to just one question I’d greatly appreciate the help. If there is something that I am asking about that is flat out not possible, please let me know! I don’t know if I’m going on a wild goose chase with some of these ‘issues’. Also, if the general fix to most of this is Rockbox, I’m all ears.

I exported my entire Apple Music library and all the songs play perfectly fine, however there are no album track #s. Is there a way in MP3Tag to assign track numbers to all these songs at once, or do I have to do it album by album? (Same ? for genres).

What’s the quickest way to make playlists? I have existing playlists on Apple Music but didn’t export those individually. I’m debating on wiping my music and redoing the transfer with just a few playlists then ‘starting from scratch’ with new albums (I’m going to burn a bunch of my dad’s CDs).

When I select a specific artist I get a list of all their songs. From the little bit of research I’ve done, it doesn’t seem like I can get a list of that artist’s albums instead of songs? I tried the long menu button hold to ‘subdivide by albums’ but that doesn’t always work.

Can you favorite albums or have them pinned somewhere? There’s a few albums that I always go back to and wonder if there’s a quick way to get to those.

I'm so tired

It's been two days since I started to try and open the player up to change the sd card. I ordered tools just to open it without making any damage and I damaged it anyway. I've never opened such devices manually and have no idea how these latches work. Please, help. I just want to get over this shit and keep living and doing my stuff without getting these anxious intrusive thoughts all the time bruh

My device randomly switches to rockbox

I installed the most recent nightly of rockbox on my device but wanted to uninstall it since it was tanking my battery. So i did a factory reset hoping it would wipe rockbox out and now it will boot out of the default Os and switch into rockbox. Any suggestions on what to do or how to uninstall rockbox for good?

found a way to make playlist faster

hi, just found a way to make playlists faster on my Y1 innioasis so here i am sharing:

First , when you’re on your computer , make a new folder on the SD card with the content of your playlist
Then, when you access to your music, you can check on the folder , click on it to see the content.
click on the first song by making a long click on the up button and click “select all”
all the songs will be selected , then make again the long click and add to playlist 1 for example.
Then you can rename the playlist and all the song from your folder will be on the playlist.

It doesn’t have an incidence if you shuffle all your songs they will still be here even if it’s on another folder and you can add songs from your other folder also.
Hope it can help !

After six months, my SD card failed and I lost everything. RIP.

I guess now the question is, do I attempt to replace the SD card or buy another Y1 altogether?

Rockbox-Y1 v0.5 Issues

Having installed Rockbox-Y1 v0.5 on one of my two Y1s [128GB], it is generally stable, but I noticed the following:

  1. Settings>General Settings>Database>Update Now (or >Initialise Now) does not work. It states "updating in the background", but the Y1 is then frozen and after30 minutes, it was clear that it had crashed. Tried 3 times, same result. v0.4 on my other Y1 is fine.

  2. When connected to my PC, selecting "Turn off USB storage", you get a spinning circle rather than the message changing to "Turn on USB storage". Selecting "Eject" on the PC sorts it, and probably that is the correct process anyway.

  3. As discussed and resolved in a previous post here, the Shortcut "data: /data/data/org.rockbox/app_rockbox/rockbox/rocks/demos/pictureflow.rock" needs to be amended to "data: /data/data/org.rockbox/app_rockbox/.rockbox/rocks/demos/pictureflow.rock". Then Picture Flow works perfectly.

Hope of help.

Is it possible to enable Automatic Resume only for specific folders (e.g. podcasts) and exclude music?

Hello, I listen to multiple podcasts in parallel and want Rockbox to remember the individual playback position for each podcast file separately. Automatic Resume does exactly that — but it also saves the position when manually skipping through music tracks, which I don't want.

I know that "Resume on automatic track change" can be limited to custom directories, but this only applies to automatic track transitions, not manual skipping.

Is there any way to:

- Enable per-file resume positions for podcasts

- But have music always start from the beginning (even when skipping manually)?

Or is this simply not possible in Rockbox? Any workarounds appreciated!

Koensayr: Bluetooth metadata on the Y1 (and other stuff!)

Disclaimer: This is a firmware patcher. It modifies the /system partition on your Y1. I take no responsibility if you brick the device. Only try this if you understand what the patches are doing and how to recover if something goes sideways (worst case: re-flash a known-good stock rom.zip via MTKClient and you're back to square one). If you can't follow the README's setup steps or read the patch source, please don't run it.

A bit of background for anyone new to this project: I started Koensayr as a way to teach myself agentic AI workflows on something genuinely hard, rather than continuing to ignore the whole AI space. "Fix the Artists --> Albums workflow on a $60 MP3 player" was the original scope. A few weeks and an embarrassingly deep dive into the MediaTek AVRCP stack later, here we are.

For reference, my two previous posts are here and here.

Back on May 7 I posted that AVRCP metadata over Bluetooth was finally showing up on the Y1, but warned it was still WIP status and not spec-compliant. That's no longer the case.. It's ready for wider testing. I still expect bugs, but I can't do a larger-scale test on devices that I don't own. I only tested this on a few endpoints that I had available (Kia EV6, Samsung The Frame Pro TV, Sonos Roam, and one still being debugged: Chevrolet Bolt EV) and suspect that other devices may or may not behave differently. Either way, more data points aren't a bad thing.

After patching with Koensayr, when you pair the Y1 to a car head unit / Bluetooth speaker / TV / anything else that implements the receiving end of AVRCP, here's what you get:

  • Track metadata on the peer screen - Title, Artist, Album, Genre, track number, total tracks, and duration all show up on the Now Playing screen of whatever you've paired to.
  • Live playhead - the progress bar on the car screen moves in real time.
  • Discrete PLAY / PAUSE / STOP / NEXT / PREV - clean PASSTHROUGH routing from steering-wheel buttons, including on head units that don't tolerate the "PLAY toggles to pause" behaviour some media targets do.
  • A2DP stream survives pauses - silence-timeout was tearing down the audio connection on the stock firmware, which broke some car setups that didn't auto-reconnect. Fixed that.
  • Strict-spec compatibility - infotainment systems that gate the Now Playing pane on the target advertising the right device class / event set / character-set capability should now pass those checks. Hardware-tested across a small set of receivers at this point and the AVRCP Target 1.3 feature compliance scorecard closes every Mandatory and every Optional row.

Plus, stock firmware 3.0.7 is supported as of today (alongside 3.0.2). The MediaTek Bluetooth binaries didn't change between the two releases (only the music APK did) so the smali patches now handle both versions automatically.

For my fellow nerds: The stock AVRCP target on this device is MediaTek's, hardcoded for AVRCP 1.0 passthrough (no metadata, no event subscriptions, nothing). Getting full 1.3 behaviour required injecting a trampoline chain into libextavrcp_jni.so that catches inbound AVRCP commands, builds spec-compliant 1.3 responses by calling the response-builder primitives already present in libextavrcp.so, and pushes them back to the AVCTP layer. A small Android service (Y1Bridge) and the patched music app feed live state through a watched-files protocol so the trampolines always have fresh metadata to emit. Full architecture diagram, byte-level patch reference, and the investigation trail are in the repo's docs/.

How to use:

GitHub: github.com/SeanathanVT/koensayr. Linux host required (mounts system.img via loopback and uses GNU sed, Mac/Windows users will need a Linux VM).

Roughly: one-time setup clones MTKClient and builds the two artifacts that --all needs.. src/su (the ~900-byte setuid su binary for --root, built with make) and src/Y1Bridge (the Android service that satisfies the MtkBt Binder contract for --avrcp, built with Gradle). Then drop your stock rom.zip (3.0.2 or 3.0.7) into staging/, run ./apply.bash --all, and the script handles the rest: pulling system.img out of the zip, loop-mounting it, applying every patch, unmounting, and flashing to the device via MTKClient. You will be prompted to plug in the Y1 and hit the boot button next to the USB-C port. You can also shut it down normally, keep it unplugged, and then just plug it in when it's ready to flash.

The README's Quick start section has the exact commands and toolchain prerequisites. Individual flags (--avrcp, --bluetooth, --music-apk, --adb, --remove-apps, --root) are all selectable on their own if you don't want the full bundle.

Caveats:

  • You need the right rom.zip MD5 from one of the supported builds (v3.0.2, v3.0.7). To prevent weirdness, unsupported versions will be rejected by the patcher.
  • Receivers that don't implement AVRCP correctly (some cheap BT speakers, some older car infotainment systems) may not properly render metadata regardless of what the Y1 sends. Most modern infotainment systems work; if you've got a strict one that doesn't, debug logs may need to be provided to troubleshoot and resolve (again, I can't reproduce every quirk locally as I don't have every possible Bluetooth endpoint available for testing purposes).

Let me know how it works for you, and if you encounter any weirdness with your own Bluetooth devices! If you find bugs and you know what you are doing and would like to implement any changes / fixes, feel free to fork, fix, and submit a Pull Request to that end! Or don't, that's the beauty of open source. :)

Also, thanks to those of you who've been DMing me about this project over the last few weeks. I hope it's interesting to you, and maybe something from this effort will get pulled into the Rockbox effort. I'd love to at least get a shoutout by the Rockbox team if anything from this project is used upstream (even the Bluetooth stack research stuff), but if not, it's cool. Side note, I've been messing with a more native port of Rockbox (Linux-based, not APK-based, bypassing Android entirely), but that's a post for another day.

Stay curious, y'all!

Edit 1: I should note that if your Y1 is already paired to something, you may need to clear / re-pair it before your endpoint "recognizes" the new feature set and allows metadata to flow.

Edit 2: Well, my SD card finally shat the bed. Can't even reformat it or wipe it with dd via ADB because I just get I/O errors. Tight.

Question regarding the SD card replacement

Hello there, I'm about to replace my SD card of my y1 but I want to know more about this process

So here's my questions:

  1. Do I proceed the reformat command after the files were corrupted and directly turn off the y1 from the setting instead using the reset button?

  2. What are the chances of bricking it after replacement?

  3. How do I disconnect the cable that's connected to the buttons?

4.what types of screws must I need?
