First of all you will need a bootloader for your x5v. There is one you can get here http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IaudioBoot , but this one only boots rockbox and not the official firmware. I don't know if mkboot (the tool to patch the original firmware to get dual-boot working) works with the x5v firmware as well (RaeNye?). If you have problems creating or finding a dualboot firmware for the x5v, ask again and I'll see what I can do.
Well, about the "perfect" rockbox-version for the x5: rockbox is constantly updated and every new build is just getting better and better. Usually you can find the latest build in this thread: http://www.iaudiophile.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=10349
Download one of the .zip-files and extract hem into the root of your x5.
That is basically it. Now you can start downloading themes, etc. for your player, to get your "perfect" rockbox.

As usual, I warn you that installing Rockbox voids your warranty; you may want to think twice before installing it.

yeah, think twice first. then think again and go ahead and install it. you'll love it, it gives a whole new dimension to the x5.

mkboot can be used to combine an appropriate bootloader.bin (not the one on RB wiki - that one is not a dual-bootloader) with a X5V firmware.

Linus might know what's the difference between x5v and x5 bootloaders (except the header).

thank you, RaeNye. Was that enough information to get you started, Hefftome?
