Use the Archos charging algorithm. At least, your batteries will be full

Q18: Why does rockbox show a question mark for the battery level?
A18: Rockbox waits for about a minute to show a battery reading, to increase
the reliability of the reading. In previous versions, the battery level
rockbox initially reported was always too low.

Q45: Why don't you have as many games available for the Players?
A45: The display on the Players is character cell and not bitmap based.
This means we can only control what characters get displayed, not
what pixels are shown. This means that the prospect of game play are
limited, but we are always open for new submissions.
This means there is much more limitations in the amount of graphics that
can be displayed, and thus what kind of games can be written.

Q60: What's with all the different versions of Rockbox?
A60: There are really only two versions of Rockbox. One for Players and one
for Recorders. However, we do have 3 other 'versions' of Rockbox
available for download. These would be Releases, Daily Builds, and
Bleeding Edge.
The Release version (currently 2.0) has a fixed feature set. This means
that we are confident that few, if any, significant bugs still reside
within the code/features of that 'version'. This is the version for the
common user.
A60: We currently support four different hardware platforms: Players, Recorder
v1, Recorder v2 and FM Recorder.
For each platform, Rockbox is released in three versions: Release, Daily
Build and Bleeding Edge. These only differ in release frequency.
The Daily Builds (see: http://rockbox.haxx.se/daily.shtml#target_builds)
are automated daily builds of the CVS code. As such they contain all
the new features (and bugs ;) ) that have been introduced after the
last official release, and upto and including that morning.
The Release version (currently 2.1) is a frozen known-good state. This
means that we are confident that few, if any, significant bugs reside
within the code for that version. This is the version for the common
user.
The Bleeding Edge 'versions' are automated builds that are updated
every 20 minutes or so. This are as feature full and bug ridden as you
can possibly get if you are not a developer, or are not pulling directly
from the CVS tree.
The Daily Builds (http://rockbox.haxx.se/daily.shtml) are automated
daily builds of the CVS (development) code. As such they contain all the
new features (and bugs) that have been introduced after the last official
release, up to this morning.
The Bleeding Edge builds (http://rockbox.haxx.se/daily.shtml#bleeding_edge)
are built from the CVS code every 20 minutes. The purpose of these builds
is to verify the code builds properly on all platforms (and simulators)
and also to allow testers to try out new features and bug fixes without
having to build the code themselves.
Please Note: Daily and Bleeding Edge builds are expected to be buggy.
We ask that you _do not_ submit bug reports for Bleeding Edge versions,
but would love to hear any reports you may have about Release or Daily
build versions. (see "How can I report about bugs in Rockbox?")
Please Note: Bleeding Edge builds are expected to be buggy at times. We
ask that you _do not_ submit bug reports for Bleeding Edge builds, but
would love to hear any reports you may have about Release or Daily build
versions. (see "How can I report about bugs in Rockbox?")
Q61: I am in Windows and can't create a .rockbox directory to store my
files. When are you going to fix this?

Q63: Will Rockbox work on any of Archos' other units?
A63: Right now Rockbox supports the Archos' Players, Recorders (v1 and v2)
and the FM Recorder.
A63: Other than the 4 currently supported models: no, probably not. If Archos
releases another rockbox-able player (such as the V2) then rockbox will
find its way onto it, but their new devices as the Gmini, MM, and AV
units are completely different hardware and probably won't be supported
by rockbox unless someone enthusiastically reverse engineers them and
submits patches to make it happen.
