Can I put the new iPod software on my old iPod?

I follow that kind of thing pretty closely and I haven’t heard of anything. You can always start from scratch and just hack it yourself but other than that I don’t believe so.

Does Rockbox have that feature?

No you cant.
Some i hack, i think RockBox had a theme that did many of the things the new software did tho.

Yes, you can – why people answer ‘no, you can’t’ without knowing for sure is beyond me!

Edit: Arg, the link on LH is broken. There’s another tutorial here that links back to the iPod 5G to iPod classic FW hack.

No offense dude.

because you can’t. this is a modded firmware, not the one apple created. it’s a clone.
Ex. it doesn’t support CoverFlow

Original Question:

“The new iPods have that sofware where the album artwork is split with the main menu – are there any hacks where I could put that on my old 30gb iPod?”

I did this, to my old 30GB video, and it works. So yes, you can!

Who cares if it’s modded firmware? Poster asked for a hack, and there is one…
