RootBox 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. I personally have a high standard when it comes to releases and this is why this project always meets the expectations of users. 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.

Bugs

1. When booted fully and looking at Mobile Networks Mode it was set to WCMDA and it should be LTE / CMDA not sure if this is a build.prop thing or something else. If You use the LTE toggle it fixes it so thats not a big deal. So the 2 Network modes for Toro are (default- LTE / CMDA) and Secondary with LTE Off is- CDMA / EvDo

- Thanks formula84!

2. Phone app -> settings gives a FC

Just flashed. Very impressive ROM, so far!. I like the boot up animation and the wallpaper selection.
For anyone flashing, make sure you go into settings and change your network to LTE/CDMA. Default is incorrect.
Thanks for the great work!
Edit: phone settings crashes. May be a deal breaker :(

After you change the setting for LTE you should reboot then it should be fine. This used to happen in older cm builds.

Sorry fellas forgot to add that the phone settings crashing in this build is a known bug introduced upstream. I've not had a chance to look at why yet. A logcat would be useful :)

I PM'd you my logcat. Don't know if I did it right or not. Thanks!

This is not limited to the Toro build. I am going to try to grab the phone app from your rom prior to the latest commit and see if that works.

Share it if you could :) This is such a great rom, and the extras this DEV has included.

Thank you.

Downloading now... but...

If you can change DPI per app, wouldn't we need a gapps similar to pa-gapps? I was under the impression that pa-gapps were different from the normal gapps because it includes the different versions of the apps (like phone, phablet, and tablet UIs of say, gmail)

I've not been able to change any app's DPI or ui. I installed the framework, then changed the settings, when rebooted after changing the settings, and no dice.

I love this ROM already though. And it's potential makes me love it even more

Re: [12/02][ROM][4.2.1][AOKP/CM][Per-App-DPI][PIE] Vanilla RootBox (UNOFFICIAL) - JOP

Did you enable the settings module?

Of you open xposed installer and click modules is the xposed app settings module ticked? I'd not tick it and reboot :)

Is there any problem updating to the latest xposed with it being integrated into the ROM?

Erm good question - When I build tonight I will let you know the answer! If not I'll check for updates to xposed before building as I think they are just prebuilt APK's added into the zip with an intent in the settings menu

Hi Guys ermm bad new I'm afraid.

Just tried to build but as Rootbox uses external sources for some apps e.g. DeskClock from CM which is already upgraded to 4.2.2 (new SDK version) I can't build things yet. Sorry guys will have to wait until 4.2.2 is merged.

I'll of course update you as soon as it is!

    I see that but that's only Maguro! We need Toro too, maybe you could be so kind as to share what manual edits you needed to make to get a build working for Toro and I'll build for the Toro users.

    With the instructions/help of sykomaniac, looks like I will be building UNOFFICIAL Rootbox for us Toro users. We should all thank him for generosity of time to help us get this great ROM.
