It seems that an equal amount of people want the current keymap as they do the old keymap. I personally have kept a build from before the change, and have mostly used that. However, I am going to see if I can make a patch that allows for changeable keymaps. I've downloaded a copy of the latest source, as well as all the patches in my build, so that if I don't have internet access when I get home, I should still be able to work on it.

I just started using rockbox post-keymap changes, and the older keymap sounds a lot more intuitive. An option to swap between the 2 would definitely be ideal.

Excuse the off topic post, however I would like to generate some traffic to a feature request I submitted ... It concerns updating the way song rating works with the sansa, please check it out and vote for it if you think it would be useful (pretty much anyone who wants to operate sansa with one hand easily and rate songs) ... Thanks

can you add new patch to your build please? it is created by Travis Tooke (tdtooke) located on his page in the zip file "http://home.centurytel.net/tdtooke/patches.zip". it's name is "colorized-wps". this patch adds ability to use different font colors in WPS, new tags are %Cf for foreground color and %Cb for background color.
btw. what's the progress with your planned keymap patch? i really like your builds, but i'm stuck witch cpchans for the time being, because he reverted to the old keybindings. i look forward to use again your custom build:)
thanks

Jack, did you include the latest update to the bmp resize patch?
It seems there's a new resizing algorithm.

@ ayapejian:
This is for the OF, correct? I'm sorry, but what does it have to do with Rockbox? If I just misread it, feel free to yell at me.

This is kinda off topic as well, but have you fixed the (S)NES Emulator yet? I haven't tried it recently, because I don't like having to take the battery out because the menu is inaccessible. Remember, the problem was the plugin's keymap.

this is also very... veerryy off topic, but has any plans been made for Rockbox on the iPhone. I know this would cost alot of money, because each failed test could result in buying another iPhone, but to make it easier, Rockbox could team up with AppTap, for they already have their own firmware for it.
Just throwing an idea out...
Yay! I'm triple-posting!!!

Massive reply to comments:
I don't have a patch for changeable keymaps yet, though I am going to go back to the old keymaps for the following reasons:
Personal preference (I know that shouldn't be a good reason)
More in line with the OF, making it easier for people who switch between both to use Rockbox easier
It seems most other builds have done the same, and can cause confusion for those who switch between (custom) builds.
Quite a few people want it reverted.
I will look at FS#7794 shortly.
Provided I don't forget, I will add Travis's patch shortly.
I will update FS#5697 and the rest of the patches shortly.
Re: SNES - I've been without internet access for 8 days - haven't been able to work on much.
Re: iPhone - I've been without internet access so can't really say if there's any plans.
