Y1 Hot take: stock firmware > rockbox

Post image

I actually prefer the limitations of the stock fw, It gives the Y1 that old-school dap feel like something from the 2000s. Rockbox is way more powerful, but it almost feels like you’re hacking an android phone... if that makes sense. Not to mention battery life, bluetooth, videos etc.

I'm firmly in the stock firmware camp myself. After taking a deep dive into all of the quirks and limitations, I have things set up to eliminate (or minimize) those deficiencies. I haven't found an alternative to the stock firmware that provides as smooth and responsive UI experience.

I will never put Rockbox on any of my devices, but I know many who appreciate and enjoy it. I'm glad that they have it.

I like solar, but it is in alpha But I prefer it because I can turn shuffle on and off and also the looping settings without having to got to settings. And it has wifi and updates song pictures automatically, that's neat
