Y2 Rockbox Beta V2 Release

Date: 2026-09-01

Tag:

Status: physically accepted and approved for publication

Release identity

Beta V2 is the corrected P17 Centre Context V1 runtime. It retains the complete
physically accepted P15/P16 baseline and changes only
; the native core and full Rockbox resources remain
byte-identical. The APK and firmware package each reproduced twice, and the
exact candidate passed guarded installation, five complete readbacks and the
final focused physical regression.

Release ZIPs:

Asset	Purpose	Size	SHA-256
	Same sparse-image package type as Beta V1	362,410,130
	Canonical Updater CE Y2 package with raw Android images	370,911,657

The second ZIP is a deterministic packaging transform of the first. It does
not contain a different Rockbox build.

Highlights since Beta V1

• Complete Bluetooth flow from Rockbox and Stock, including Settings access,
  discovery/pairing, A2DP playback, controls, disconnect and reconnect.
• Hold Previous/Next to seek within a track.
• Optional held-Volume track skipping with normal short-press volume behavior.
• Verified time/date and RTC persistence without UI freeze.
• Adjustable Rockbox wheel haptic intensity, including true-off, isolated from
  Stock's setting.
• Reliable first-connect and complete USB storage lifecycle on both routes.
• Stock overlay suppression during Rockbox USB and clean return/unplug/reconnect.
• Clean under-30-second SPYCE → Rockbox title → Rockbox root launch.
• Responsive Centre wake and improved Now Playing navigation/context controls.
• PictureFlow cache recovery and a functional album carousel.
• Reliable Boot Settings, saved Rockbox/Stock normal route and opposite-player
  Volume-Up route.
• State-preserving development updates plus physically proven Stock rollback,
  runtime recovery and protected-range integrity.

Known limitations and Beta V3 direction

• The final power-down animation can render imperfectly. Shutdown itself is
  functional; presentation polish is a Beta V3 gate.
• FM is deferred until a Y2 vendor firmware baseline with demonstrably working
  radio is available.
• PictureFlow's branded missing-art slide and faster adjacent-cover loading are
  deferred polish.
• Beta V3 also targets lyrics/480x360 theme diagnostics, high-resolution FLAC
  stability, DAC and wired-audio qualification, Restart Rockbox/settings
  auditing, and database/playlist track-line presentation controls.
• Fastboot and a simultaneous-volume chord are not release features.

Installation safety

Beta V2 is only for the Innioasis Y2 on the 3.1.7 firmware lineage. A Y1
package, another device's preloader, or another MediaTek scatter must never be
substituted.

Treat both public updater workflows as full firmware installs that can erase
the player:

1. Back up internal storage, microSD content, the complete folder,
   settings, playlists, themes and database files.
2. Keep the official Y2 3.1.7 recovery package available.
3. Verify every release asset against .
4. Charge the Y2, use a reliable data cable and avoid hubs.
5. Do not disconnect until the selected updater explicitly reports completion.

Physical evidence

• P15 passed Rockbox boot, active/return USB, Stock isolation, three Boot
  Settings cold boots, saved-route dispatch and final sleep/wake.
• P16 passed official Stock rollback, protected-range comparisons, exact
  runtime reinstall with five complete readbacks, Stock regression and the
  complete final Rockbox/Stock/USB/route matrix.
• Final no-button boot reached a clean responsive Rockbox root in 28 seconds
  with no artifacts.
• Short Centre, the one-second long-Centre context menu with Bookmarks,
  no-release select-through, Centre sleep/wake, short Back to root and long
  Back to Database all passed on the exact corrected P17 runtime.
• Private device-unique protected hashes remain unpublished.
