      I used to use Sansa clip+ with Rockbox back when the audio quality on my phone was terrible.

      I have my iPod 5th gen running on RockBox. IMO it’s even better than the stock firmware because it can play flacs.

        It’s a shame rockbox doesn’t support video playback though.

        How is stability for you? My 7th gen with about 750gb is pretty unstable, mostly I have a lot of difficulty transferring since the iPod crashes 15gb in all the time.

          Mine’s been great, though I have only about 2 GB of music on there.

          Oh, yeah, I played it too, got used to the controls enough to start having fun, though didn’t finish any level.

        Rockbox is cool, I just wish it was able to replace the base system without touching the UI. Something about it just feels off on an iPod. Even supposedly iPod-accurate themes just feel uncanny.

        Same, someone also added a new battery at some point so I have an awesome weeklong working device. And after rockbox, its even better.
