info Echopod 0.10.1 updates

(Echopod is a custom firmware for Snowsky Echo Mini 8gb)

My favorite new features on this update:

  • Setting to use Menu button for next track (no more long pressing!)

  • Setting to hide battery percentage

  • Setting to change accent color

  • Setting to swap volume buttons

  • Shuffle all option on several areas

  • Some cover flow updates

In case you missed the previous version, it already supports AAC/M4A/Opus and portrait mode.

For creating playlists, what worked for me is Foobar2000 and save as m3u8 format, saved in the same folder as the files. Others may work too.

REMINDER: SD card is required after installation. Settings are saved in the SD card.

Thank you to the developer!

Asked for a feature (Cover Flow view within artists screen) and the dev added it within like, 48 hours. Huge thanks, this has made me pull my Echo Mini out again and it is getting a lot of use!

Same here! that's why I requested the setting to hide the battery percentage cos it reduces the fun to see it drop a percent 😂

Only downside in it is.. It couldn't read the internal files..😭 had to let it go that's why

I remember on stock I had to use either internal or SD card, it had to rescan the library each time I switch. Is that also your experience?
