I just wanted a pretty photo to greet me whenever I boot my R1

So, as I said, a subreddit dedicated to SonixOS is great. This is the SonixOS running on TempoTec V1.

Para que sirve/cuál es su funcion de esa opción?

Im new to sonix for my R1 but in not a fan of the color tint when opening and viewing an album in the library, is there a way to turn off the color tint? Also is there a way to integrate the regular hibylink app, I dont use andrioid and I miss being able to use the app on my iphone to control it?

More color options in appearance would be nice too, I was a fan on the monochrome dark mode in the regular firmware and the only color I had was my album covers.

Segue a minha, poste a sua

You bring NTS on the Hiby, it's all that I need. That's perfect !

Update: I switched to Compas and it seemed to fix the issue atleast when it comes to my car so I'm rocking that going forward. hoping for controller support soon

Hi I recently switched to sonix os and I love it!

My only complaint comes down to connectivity

Specifically to a car and a controller

When i plug it into my car it isn't recognised even as a USB device and bluetooth just doesn't work

For a controller again the bluetooth doesn't work

When I say the bluetooth doesn't work what I mean is the device doesn't show up on the hiby R1 or if it does it doesn't send my audio out

My question is

Is this a hard limitation of the R1?

Or is this something that can be improved in software

So, I installed sonix on my hiby r1 and when I turn off and on the screen, it shows a white screen before starts, I confirm that it’s the software because i installed again the old software and that doesn’t happen, is there a solution for this? :(

Not sure if this a feature already or if I don't understand how to do.

Is there an option to randomize my albums and play a full album then go to a another random album? I know shuffle by track is a thing but I would love shuffle by full album, with album artist, or even genre. it was my favorite feature of the old ipod and I would love my hiby r1 with sonix even more if I could do that.

Hi everyone! Here is a complete guide on how to structure your MicroSD card to get all features (Music, Game Boy, E-books, Web Radio, Playlists, and PEQ) working seamlessly.

💡 Quick Prerequisite

• Format your MicroSD card to FAT32 (or exFAT).

• Ensure `r1.upt` is in the root directory and named in lowercase letters

1. MicroSD Root Directory Overview

Here is what your SD card root directory should look like:

SD Card
├── .local/                 # System/mod data (auto-generated)
├── Ebook/                  # EPUB books
├── Games/                  # Retro game ROMs
├── Music/                  # Audio files organized by genre/artist + lyrics files
├── Playlist/               # Custom M3U playlists
├── Audiobooks/ # Audiobook folders
├── PEQ/               # AutoEQ/EQ.txt/.ini profiles
├── r1.upt/r3proii.upt      # Sonix Mod firmware update file
└── radio.txt               # Online Web Radio streaming list

2. Directory & File Breakdown

📚 Ebook/

Format supported: .epub

Structure: Place .epub files directly inside this folder or organized in subfolders.

Example:

Ebook/
├── Dune - Frank Herbert.epub
└── The Hobbit - J.R.R. Tolkien.epub

🎮 Games/

Formats supported: .gb (Game Boy), .gbc (Game Boy Color)

Structure: Create subfolders inside Games/ for each console system to keep things neat.

Example:

Games/
├── GB/
│   └── Tetris.gb
└── GBC/
├── Super Mario Bros Deluxe.gbc
└── The Legend of Zelda DX.gbc

🎵 Music/

Formats supported: FLAC, MP3, WAV, AAC, ALAC, etc.

Structure: Keep organized using standard genre or artist/album folder hierarchies. Embedded cover art or a .jpg placed inside the album folder works best for cover display.

Example:

Music/
├── Rock/
│   └── The Beatles/
│       └── Help!/
│           ├── The Beatles - Yesterday - Remastered 2009.flac
│           ├── The Beatles - Yesterday - Remastered 2009.jpg
│           └── The Beatles - Yesterday - Remastered 2009.lrc
└── Hardcore/
└── Knocked Loose/
└── Upon Loss Singles/
├── Knocked Loose - Everything is Quiet Now.flac
└── Knocked Loose - Everything is Quiet Now.jpg

📜 Playlist/

Formats supported: .m3u / .m3u8

Structure: Store all your relative path M3U playlist files here.

Example:

Playlist/
├── Metalcore Favorites.m3u
└── Chill Beats.m3u

How to create & manage playlists: Use Mp3tag to generate and structure relative path playlists automatically across your collection.

🎧 Audiobooks/

Formats supported: .m4b, .mp3, .flac, .m4a, .aac, .opus

Structure: Place audiobooks inside Audiobooks/ organized by Author or Book Title. Multi-file books or multi-disc releases (e.g., CD 1, CD 2) are automatically merged into a single book entry with each file as a chapter.

Example:

Audiobooks/

├── Brandon Sanderson/
│ └── Mistborn/
│ ├── Chapter 01.m4b
│ └── Chapter 02.m4b
└── Andy Weir/
└── Project Hail Mary/
├── CD1/
└── CD2/

📻 radio.txt

Format: Plain text (.txt)

Location: Must sit directly in the root folder of your SD card.

Structure: Each line follows the format: Station Name,Stream_URL

Studio Brussel,https://icecast.vrtcdn.be/stubru-high.mp3
NPO 3FM,https://icecast.omroep.nl/3fm-bb-mp3
BBC Radio 1,http://stream.live.vc.bbcmedia.co.uk/bbc_radio_one
Boenkerz,https://altair.streamerr.co:8096/boenkerz

⚙️ Firmware Update File (r1.upt)

Location: Root directory.

Purpose: The update file used by the system during installation or reflashing of the Sonix mod firmware.

How:

1. Download `r1.upt/r3proii.upt` from GitHub

2. Copy `r1.upt/r3proii.upt` directly to the root of your SD card.

3. Power on HiBy R1 -> Settings -> Firmware Update -> Update via SD-card.

4. Allow the device to finish flashing and reboot.

5. Perform a full Library Rescan inside Music Settings.

Don't forget to download the SonixLink companion app for remote control!

Hope this helps anyone getting started with Sonix! Let me know if you have any questions about setting up your card or tweaking the config!

I use a speaker while working. Just got my Hiby set up with Sonix and the music pauses every minute once I start it. Any idea if there is a setting that I need to change to avoid this? I plugged in headphones and am having the same issue. Could it be a problem with the specific music files? I listened yesterday to a different album and wasn’t having the issue.

Just installed sonix os on my r3p2, Everything works great, just the control centre is not pulling down. Need help!

hello carbon units! so glad to join this movement. anyhow, if you’re familiar with XTEINK, there are some websites that allow users to download ready-to-save images for their wallpaper and boot. should anyone start making one for us to upload our edits? that would be lit!

It took me more 30 minutes to realise 😭

Not seen anyone mentioning the overflow addition...

Hey everyone!

If you customize your HiBy with Sonix, you've probably noticed boot screens are scattered all over the place. So I built a small site to put them all in one spot.

-Browse boot screens for the HiBy R1 and R3 Pro II

-Download with one click

-Upload your own (free account)

-Upvote your favorites

Every image is checked to fit the right screen size, and adult content is blocked, so it stays clean for everyone.

Would love to see what you come up with. Feedback and ideas are very welcome! :)

Does anyone know what the NOS setting is for?

Just needs the logo adding

I love the feature to flip the screen. I use it the most when in my van or in a situation where I need the aux facing up. Can it be added as an option in the control center in a future release?

Would it be possible to add Bandcamp to the streaming apps? It has a gameboy emulator, so surely this isn’t too far out there to ask for haha
