    I have my iPod 5th gen running on RockBox. IMO it’s even better than the stock firmware because it can play flacs.

      Rockbox is cool, I just wish it was able to replace the base system without touching the UI. Something about it just feels off on an iPod. Even supposedly iPod-accurate themes just feel uncanny.

      Same, someone also added a new battery at some point so I have an awesome weeklong working device. And after rockbox, its even better.
