Re: [ROM][4.2.1] RootBox Non-development | Discussion | Support [d2att/2tmo/d2vzw]

Anyone have any kernel recommendations for balance of fluidity and battery? I've been told faux, lean, and Franco (does this even exist for S3?) Anyway I haven't been on aosp in a while so I'd appreciate some insight. Thank you.

This has been happening to me on many ROMs/Kernels... I'm wondering if this is just my phone or something else.

When my phone goes into a heavy processes of "loading" (such as updating a bunch of apps)... the current "max" lowers to either 1134mhz, 918 mhz, or 702 mhz. The heavier the phone is processing things, the lower it goes. It will go back to 1512 mhz shortly after but not all the time. The phone will have a noticeable slowdown too... it becomes a lot less smooth.

The easiest way to emulate this would be to just start opening a bunch of apps... and then switching over to Performance Control to check the Current "Max", basically try to put a load on the CPU/Ram.

I'm running the stock ROM with interactive/noop

Just curious, either of you guys using justnbean inverted gapps? ... Another thought, clear your cache and data for your file browser... & give solid explorer a shot... Rocks.

I am not.

File browser has nothing to do with it... I always freshly download ES file explorer when I install a ROM.

Have you heard from any Verizon users having success with this ROM? Are you seeing the emulated files in your favorites in ES?

I tried this, several times. Not that dumb.

I didn't read any further in the thread to see if this was solved but I found your reply while searching for the fix.

I was having the same issue. It wouldn't update to imperial even though the settings were correct. After I added cLock I went back into the settings and clicked enable metric then locked the phone then unlocked and went back to settings and deselected use metric and locked the phone. After turning the screen back on and touching the weather part it switched to imperial.

When taking a picture by selecting "Capture Picture" through messenger, I notice it does not allow you to preview the picture as intended, instead the camera continues to queue another picture although the menus display the retake, delete, and accept options. Furthermore when you hit accept to see it in the messaging box, all pictures captured this way are stuck in landscape.

Can anyone else confirm this isn't working correctly? Haven't noticed this before.

Getting the media scanner is busy error when I try to move a picture now. Didn't find anything in this thread, and I'm not totally sure its exclusively ROM related. Is there a general workaround for that? I tried forcing it to rescan with a 3rd party app already.

no/weak service on d2att Rootbox 3.6

I have an issue where I am getting no 4g service after I flash this ROM, and sometimes no service at all where I should be getting service, it seems that the only type of service I can get is 3g. I have tested this by staying in the same location and starting my phone using paranoid android 2.55 and I get full H+, then change roms to Rootbox 3.6 and I get only 3g service. I also had Rootbox loaded when I went to new York city and got no service at all, tried restarting my phone and no service, tried activating airplane mode and deactivating it and nothing, then I changed back to ParanoidAndroid and full 4g. the apns all seem to be correct when compared to those of paranoid android. if I go into test mode (*#*#4636#*#*) the preferred network mode is set to lte/gsm auto (prl) and any attempts to change it instantly get reverted. the same issue exists using carbon dev, I have not tried any other 4.2.1 roms. any information on this world be very helpful as I very much like Rootbox and the new jellybean. on a side note, why does 4.2 sill go by jellybean?:confused:

Not sure about 4g, but if you are getting 3g and not h+, make sure that you are doing something that is actually using your mobile data. It will drop down to 3g when it is not on use to save battery.

I've never tried it that way. But just tried it and mine works the same way. Not sure if there's an issue or that's just the way it is.

thanks, but the data was in use at the time, plus if I switch back to paranoid android Rom I am immediately in h+ when the phone boots. not to nitpick here, but h+ is a 4g technology, no?

    Known Issues



    Inverted APPS

    First of all, I would like to say that flashing inverted GAPPS is fully acceptable and it won't break anything. The issue is, some inverted gapps "devs" don't stop at inverting GAPPS. They go beyond this scope and also include other apps such as Phone, Contacts, Mms etc..

    These system apps (Phone, Contacts, Mms etc...) Are built from source every time we build a rom and it does happen that we make several changes to them which makes them SPECIFIC to the rom you use. In the case of RootBox Mms, Phone, Camera and ROMControl are built with specific merges that other roms might not have. So what happens when you flash Inverted APPS? You're basically using an outdated/not fully compatible app with RootBox and you might even be missing some features. This is why I do not support anyone using inverted APPS.

    Alarm
    How can I disable alarm icon?

    • You can enable/disable alarm icon in statusbar in Clock > Settings.
    • You can enable/disable next alarm information on Chronus widget in RootBox Settings > Chronus > Clock and alarm.

    B
    Battery
    How can I save my battery? (Without flashing anything or undervolt kernel)

    • You can check all apps/functions which sync in background like GPS, Wlan or Social accounts (If not needed = disable)
    • Set the Brightness down (Settings > Display > Brightness)
    • Use dark (best black) theme & wallpaper & lockscreenwallpaper

    C
    Chronus
    How can I place Chronus on lockscreen?

    Look into Lockscreen section below.

    Where do I configure Chronus?

    RootBox Settings > Chronus. There you can configure Clock + Weather + Calendar settings. Note that all these settings apply to both homescreen and lockscreen Chronus widget.

    How can I change color of Chronus widget?

    You cannot ATM. You can only change color of standard clock. Or you can use theme which changes color of Chronus, e.g. Hue themes by Kroz.

    D
    DPI
    How can I customize DPI?

    There are basically two ways to do so.
    1. Change overall system DPI
      You can change overall system DPI by editing build.prop system file. We do not recommend to do that manually.
      Use some user-friendly app from Play store, e.g. Texdroider. But remember that you have to use multidpi playstore then to be able to install other apps without problems.
    2. Change per-app DPI
      You can use Per-App Settings integrated into this ROM:

      First, all credits associate to Xposed Frameworks and Modules goes to Rovo89 for sharing his work and making it open source for everyone. You guys should all buy him a beer.

      Steps to follow:
      1) Install Xposed Frameworks by going in Modules Management>Install/Update
      2) Enable Per-App Settings by going in Modules Management> Modules>Tick RootBox Per-App Settings (You should reboot your phone at this point)
      3) Setup your phone : Per-App Settings>Choose your app>Set DPI/Resolution/Tablet UI/Language> Press Save on top
      4) Your app should now display in your preferred settings. If it doesnt, kill the app and restart it or reboot phone.

    My device isn’t supported in playstore after changing DPI

    You have to use the MultiDPI-Playstore here from URL="http://xdaforums.com/member.php?u=4534385"] “MyLifeRocks10”:
    => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1839871

    G
    GAPPS
    Do I have to flash GAPPS with ROM?

    Yes.

    What version of GAPPS should I download?

    Currently you need GAPPS 20121212 for RootBox version >3.2 based on Android 4.2.1. If you for any reason want to install RootBox based on Android 4.1.2, i.e. version 3.2 and lower, install GAPPS 20121011. You can check here for latest GAPPS for different Android versions: http://goo.im/gapps.

    L
    Lockscreen
    How do I get shortcuts on my lockscreen?

    RootBox Settings > Shortcuts.

    How do I put Chronus on my lockscreen instead of standard clock?

    You have to drag clock on lockscreen. It will allow you to remove it. Then you can add Chronus or any other widget instead.

    How do I make Chronus show my Weather and Calendar on lockscreen?

    Rom Control > Lockscreen > Minimize Lockscreen Challenge.

    How do I unlock faster when Minimize Lockscreen Challenge is enabled?

    Rom Control > Lockscreen > Enable longpress to unlock.

    N
    NavBar
    How do I change NavBar Color?

    Hybrid Settings>Interface> NavBar Color .

    How do I enable NavBar transparency?

    Rom Control>GeneralUI>Statusbar and navigation bar opacity.

    Nightlies
    What is Nightly? Should I flash Nightly or latest Stable version?

    There is no major difference. Nightlies are "unofficial" builds that are built almost everyday for everyone to try builds with the latest sources merged to RootBox. For noobs/average user, this is not necessary because they live in a bubble where they feel more comfortable flashing an "official" release than a nightly, but at the end, it all breaks down to just a differentiation of name. So if you don't know what a nightly is, don't flash it and don't bother asking.

    S
    Statusbar
    How do I enable Status Bar transparency?

    Rom Control>GeneralUI>Statusbar and navigation bar opacity.

    What is fast toggle in Status Bar Toggles?

    This will allow you to swipe from the right or left side of your statusbar (depending on what you choose) and it will go to your quick settings bypassing any notifications.

    They won't build until bajee is done merging stuff it's been like this for a week. He's purposely not allowing them to build

    I'm not purposely breaking builds. I just don't have the time to finish merging what I started since I'm in the middle of examination period in university. You have a funny way of describing the situation as if I didn't want you guys to build.

    Thanks for taking on building for us! Do you have any plans for d2tmo?

    I can compile for tmo tomorrow as well. Heck for now until Bajee comes back i'll compile for d2vzw, d2att, and d2tmo :) I will NOT be cherry picking anything into them, it'll be whatever comes from Bajee's repo.

    Anyone else notice Noba and Pie settings are not buddys? Messed with my settings for sure (Can turn them all off) but hmm whats the point of pie settings? its slick and cool ya but ... whats the point? just to use expanded desktop right? isn't that sorta like nav bar? cracked out

    Then don't use it dude. I've seen you post everywhere, and all you do is comment about how things are useless/broken/bad or not working for you with every rom. If you think it's the same thing as navbar+navbar ring, then use that instead. That's why there's always options to turn things off.
