Re: [ROM][4.2.1][AOKP/CM/PA] Mako Vanilla RootBox [31/01][v3.6][Per-App-DPI][PIE]

Re-Downloaded, everything boots up, and running smooth so far. Received a System UI force close as soon as startup wizard came up, but no problems since. Beautiful ROM and just what I've been waiting for since using PACMAN on my SR. Thank you.

So far, I'm noticing:

- Bootanimation isn't the correct size for the N4 screen. There are black bars on the sides.
- Settings > wireless > mobile network > access point names; I can't select the APN that's there to change it. I can only add a new one. But after adding it, I can't select it again to edit it. I remember this was a bug in the early AOKP unofficial builds. They got it fixed eventually.
- RAM bar in the Recents list does not report the same RAM usage as in Settings > Apps > Running. The Recents RAM bar shows much more. Some of the current AOKP builds are experiencing this too. Some are fixed.

Will update if I notice anything else.

Re: [ROM][4.2.1][AOKP/CM/PA] Mako Vanilla RootBox [31/01][v3.6][Per-App-DPI][PIE]

Absolutely the best rom! Finally something like this. Is it possible to have pie controls and be able to keep the status bar? Like PA where you jist make navbar soze 0 and simply activatepie controls without needing to enable extended desktop

Pie works without expanded desktop and If you disable navbar.

YES. By far the best thing so far. Coming from PA its just as smooth.

I have one request. Is it possible to get my system ui like this screenshot?or is that PA exclusive?

Tablet UI is possible but not phablet like on your screenshot.

By the way, I currently own a d2att and I do not have the Nexus 4 "YET" (will eventually get one soon). So some kind of feedback would be appreciated in order for me to fix things.

I noticed another bug that maybe someone else can try to replicate. I have the navbar disabled and pie enabled. Whenever I lock the phone (pattern) then unlock it, the pie is invisible. It's there; I can hear the buttons clicking and they work, but they're invisible. If I blindly use a pie button once while invisible, it'll become visible again until I lock the phone then unlock it again.

In addition, if there is a pop-up menu opened in an app and I try to activate pie, the pie will appear behind the menu (which pops up from the bottom.) So the pie is blocked. Not sure if this is expected behavior, but it's a little awkward and a tad inconvenient. Here is a screenshot to better explain what I mean.

If you have flashed that many roms then you must know what to do:) but no thus rom cannot be the reason of your issues.

WiFi and data. No working

Your problem is kernel related then. How do you expect playstore to work if u got no wifi and data?

My bad.i thought you meant that your wifi and data are not working. Did you try cleaning data ? Goto settings-apps-then go to all apps and find google play store google framework and google services. Try cleaning data for all those three then reboot your device and sign inagain. If that does not work then flash gapps again.

    Description


    Vanilla RootBox is built straight from RootBox sources and always carries a very light installation with no extra/useless apps. This means, you can enjoy a pure Android experience combined with AOKP/CM features and some CM cherry-picks. Keep in mind Jelly Bean is only at the beginning stage of development and there will be minor bugs. Every RootBox releases are stable and always up to the challenge for a daily usage. If you're wondering how this ROM differs from any other AOKP roms out there, I only have one thing to say: Try it yourself and choose the one that meets your requirements.

    Contribute to RootBox


    Those interested in making wallpapers and bootanimation for RootBox, send an email to rootbox.rom@gmail.com with the following:


    Information
    • Name
    • Email

    Wallpapers
    • Attach wallpaper in email
    • Two sizes are required: HDPI and XHDPI

    I'll review them and add the wallpapers in the next release. I will also choose the best one as the default wallpaper for official releases.

    Bootanimation
    • Attach bootanimation or paste download link in the email.
    • Two sizes are required: HDPI and XHDPI

    Wallpaper Resolution
    • HDPI: 960 x 800
    • XHDPI: 1440 x 1280

    You can also contribute by creating icons for settings. Use proper sizes and always include compatibility for HDPI and XHDPI.

    The reason behind this is very simple. I'm always busy and I've neglected the visual aspect of RootBox for a while now. It's time to polish it with new visuals!



    How to Build RootBox from Source


    Getting started

    I will assume that you have some kind of knowledge with Linux and how to use a terminal. I will also assume that you have already setup all the android building requirements. First, you must create your working folder and initialize a repository with RootBox sources. The following steps will guide you in creating this working folder where you will be able to build RootBox.

    You should now open a terminal (By default you should be in your home folder: /home/yourusername/)


    Step 1: Let's create a folder in your home directory named RootBox. This will be referred as your working folder.

    Code:
    ~$ mkdir RootBox


    Step 2: Let's change our directory to the new RootBox folder we just created.

    Code:
    ~$ cd RootBox


    Step 3: Now that we are in our working folder (RootBox), we will initialize our RootBox repository by entering the following command:

    Code:
    ~$ repo init -u git://github.com/Root-Box/platform_manifest.git -b jb-mr1


    Step 4: It's now time to sync RootBox sources which could vary from a few minutes to a few hours depending on your internet connection.

    Code:
    ~$ repo sync


    Building Vanilla RootBox

    Now that you have synced the sources, you're ready to build RootBox.

    You can run the following build script:

    Code:
    ~$ . build_rootbox.sh -device- -sync- -thread- -clean-

    • Device: Choose between the following supported devices: i9100, i9100g, i9300, d2att, d2tmo, d2vzw, mako and grouper.
    • Sync: Will sync latest RootBox sources before building
    • Threads: Allows to choose a number of threads for syncing and building operation.
    • Clean: Will remove the entire out folder and start a clean build. (Use this at your discretion)

    Examples:

    1) Sync sources and Build RootBox for GT-I9100 with 12 threads

    Code:
    ~$ . build_rootbox.sh i9100 sync 12

    2) Don't sync sources, clean out folder and build RootBox for GT-I9300 with 6 threads

    Code:
    ~$ . build_rootbox.sh i9300 nosync 6 clean

    3) Don't sync sources, clean out folder and build RootBox for SGH-I747 with 4 threads

    Code:
    ~$ . build_rootbox.sh d2att nosync 4 clean

    4) Sync sources, clean out folder and build RootBox for Nexus 4 with 5 threads

    Code:
    ~$ . build_rootbox.sh mako sync 5 clean

    This script will make a signed flashable zip file located in out/target/product/-device-/RootBox-JB-(Device)-Nightly-(Date).zip

    I'm not upset at all, I'm just laughing at all this. You guys are pretty desperate to flash anything on your phones. JellyBam was initially a complete kang of Rootbox and then kanged PAC rom. That rom has changed its base so many times that you can't even tell what it's based from. You guys can talk about any rom you want in here, but smart users will know where the real work is being done. Btw, my exams should be done by the end of this month, so development should return to its normal pace afterwards. For those who think that Rootbox is not being updated, then you're simply being ignorant because I update RB sources almost everyday.

    New Feature : Breathing SMS notification

    Thanks to Kroz for the amazing idea and icons.

    What does it do: Instead of having an static icon for SMS notifications in statusbar, this feature will make the icon fade in/out giving it a breathing effect.
