Well in short my sansa is pretty much fried as a multimedia device because the LCD got crackled-spackled. So I have this idea in my head to replace the crappy front case piece with a wooden cover, same with the middle scroll-wheel and the middle button! Woot! Now I can do that part fairly easily after looking at the inside of the sansa. My biggest problem is that now I have all these functions that I cannot easily access because I have no screen to use!
Heres where this idea of mine comes in!
I want to make it so that the "menu" button becomes a simply on/off switch, preferably with only a three second hold-time.
Once on the player automatically starts playing a random playlist of all songs stored on the main flash-memory, as well as possibly any connected MicroSD card.
I want the "center" button to become the main input button:
Quick Press -> Play if paused, if playing: skip to next "random" song.
Long Press -> Pause.
The wheel should only adjust volume levels.
Also if possible:
Hold center button + move scroll wheel to switch between EQ presets.
So as you can see I need to know if such a modification of the software/firmware is possible, then whether it is legal. and finally if anyone could either coach me through how to achieve this, or do this for me.
This would be a volunteer sort of thing just so you know. Once I get more money on my paypal account (1 month+) I could pay the developer of the firmware 25$ if they felt it necessary.
