-Well everybody knows the problem with the SD-Cards...Perhaps you could program a Tool, which reads the information of the card and told them the user, that he can contact you and inform about the specific card, which doesn't work. Because sometimes 2 cards, which seem to be of the same type bring different results on the GP2X file browser which launches files with the appropriate application
-turn off the boot sound
-add a battery slot on the dockstation (or BOB?) for it? Or something you plug in it on the actual energy slot of the dockstation and instead having to connect it to electricity we connect to a bunch of batteries. Maybe is a bit difficult to add different kind of energy on the same thing, maybe you can create two dirrerent ones (portable or not portable) .OR you can add a switch to use batteries or electricity on the same plug.
-adding SDL_NET to easy build networking application throu USB
-It is possible to add resize function like extend 16/9 video to full screen cutting some part in left and right? can it possible to resize video to put them in 16/9 with adding large black band in top and bottom?
-is possible to add possibility to select the audio track in avi or ogm with two audio track file?
-possibility to use over audio file track like if i had th video file video.avi and audio track video.mp3?
Curently working on it
-Flickering problem was solved, however, you can still see horizontal lines (like an interlaced display) Horizontal lines has turned out to be a unique and inevitable character of this LCD. Though GPH will keep trying to do its best to solve this problem with firmwares. But to tell the truth, it seems to hard to solve out this problem fundamentally.
-ID3 Curently working on it
-LCD configuration : adding gamma control and britness : We plan to add LCD configuration as software in the near future.
-Audio Player : adding Playlist support Curently working on it
-Audio Player : adding the possibility to configure the equalizer Curently working on it
-Ebook : Adding RTF support Curently working on it
Maybe Later, or on another version
-possibility to read HTML and PDF usinf Text Viewer : GPH outsourced the current text viewer and it is the final version. And in order to add more functions to this version, entire re-coding would be inevitable. Though supporting HTML might be possible through hard work, supporting PDF seems to be too hard due to its too wide range.
-better image viewer (including GIF, Animated GIF, etc.) without crashing (It crashes for me when I try to view more than 20-30+ images) and shows the images as thumbnails (with ability to cache them so they show up quicker). GPH has been trying to find out the major reason of this crash. But any definite reason has not been found out. Animated GIF is under consideration. And thumbnail is also under consideration but at the moment, GPH can not be sure that both or these functions will be added.
-WiFi Support WiFi is one of the features that GPH is considering for next version, but GPH has not made any final conclusion about the specification or features for post GP2X
-Support for SD WIFI seriously considering SDIO, but has not entered into developing this due to lack of human resource and time. But as long as GPH take this into one of major consideration. Someday, GPH will start develop this.
-flickering LED when batteries are nearly dead Since the CPU memory can be too much taken by adding flickering function,we can only support 2~3 times of flickering fuction when the battery is low
-It's possible to had option to play MP3 in background and play game/emulator in the same time? Though it is possible to add function that you can listen to music while reading E-book, it seems to be difficult during the playback of Emulator or games.
-Is it possible to add Europeans accents and characters support for movie subtitle ? The system font can add European characters but as we are using ASCII, currently there is no plan to add it.
Impossible
-mkv and H264 support
-MPC, AAC Impossible due to licences problems
-Explorer : Is it possble to have only one explorer in the place of one for movie, one for music and one just to use file. Some think that use file extension and associate them to the good application like Windows, linux does. Technically It is possible but we will not support this function.
-password protect to the acces of the NAnd, files, GP2X,... Due to the warranty issue,we do not have plan to support it.
-adding SAMBA to the next firmware GP2X provide Samba server function. But due to the shortage of NAND memory capacity, it's impossible to put SAMBA client fuction...
-adding a plugin system for tools. So, for example, the text reader could be replaced by another one We do not have plan to support it.
-MP3 Player : Can it be possible to have a FadeIn/FadeOut function with paramétrable time? impossible
-Is it possible to support non compressed audio formats like Flac, APE... or vocal codec like Speex ? Although we need to grap of license of APE, seems to be difficult to support it.
-When watching a film on a TV with the TV-Out Cable the sound continues to be play in the Speakers, could you add an option to disable that ? impossible
