Something happens when flashing the ROM for me. The last two builds do it and only this ROM out of three have done, once I install and run this ROM, I loose my back up restore. I have flashed and restored fine over the last couple of days, soon as I run this ROM, I tried to restore back to a diff back up again just to see and no go. Restore partial files. And the SD card gets wiped. I have extensively tested this and went through a lot of head pain but it is in fact something from this ROM that effects my phone in that way.

You're probably running an old recovery version which doesn't support 4.2. Stop complaining that the rom wiped your SDCard.. ROMS don't do that.

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

Hey Bajee, it is not an old version, it is the lastest twrp recovery, dont be rude no need. no one is crying. This isn't my first rodeo either. I am extremely experienced on xda and with ROM procedures. Don't become defensive , I am telling you without a doubt, something is effecting the recovery after running your ROM. A few weird things happen only when running your ROM. If you want no unique device feed back then I won't come back to your support thread. Instead of being difficult and assuming everyone is an idiot, you could try helping if you r the least inclined ....no worries trying your ROMs out anymore. You won't miss me running it and have the simple choice of not doing.. Thanks for ...well...peace bro

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

This ROM is easily the best one I've ever seen. Its the most seamless combination of every feature I want and its perfectly smooth. Could not be happier and the latest update adds some small features that I love . the small things in life are always the best ! Keep up the good work !

I had the same problem and I fixed it. You can pm me if you need information on it.

Simple. Its in your data/meda folder (go look)
There should be a 0 folder. Anything else and it needs to all be moved or deleted out of data/media into data/media/0
Im bad at explaning things but if you PM me I will help you.

Its not the rom, this isn't a rom problem, trust me dude. Maybe it poped up on this rom only (sure thats possible) but your telling the dev what is possible and not possible and your wrong. You do really have issues though and I might be able to fix it if you PM me but you won't get help here (trust me on that one too) I am trying to help ... I think I can fix it.

If your backups were made with the old recovery then you can't use them anymore (I beleive) and thats your issue, if there 4.0 backups I wouldn't try using them anymore. Also there is a chance there just bad backups. Maybe ? who cares if want my help PM me if you don't and your done here thats cool too... but the way you worded that wasn't nice and thats why he got mad at ya... though I don't think hes mad I just think he thinks your confused (shrug) what do I know though... but ya I had same issue nearly and I fixed it im on newest twrp when happned too sooo **** happens bro. later.

Are you using NOVA launcher?

I've always used NOVA launcher and I went back to the stock Launcher and realized that it is much smoother.

Anyone else seeing this issue?

The smoothness from NOVA launcher to Stock launcher is night and day.

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

I've asked numerous times and its like it gets looked over. Has anyone got native WiFi tether working on this ROM? That is the one thing keeping me from switching back to this. It works fine on CM 10.1 as long as in keep it open, but never functioned on RootBox for me regardless of kernel. If anyone is having any luck please report back. Thanks.

Then you can finally switch back. Flash 3.7.1 and use stock kernel.

Thanks to both of you for the feedback and it feels good to be back in the box. 3.7.1 is awesome, and works with ktoonez latest 2/8 kernel on WiFi tether as well.

    RootBox Support Thread​


    Before you start please take some time and read the following...

    Support Team

    The team behind this thread:
    Rules

    A few rules beside the general XDA-Rules:

    • Only RootBox related questions and feedbacks
    • Respect everyone in here, especially the Support Team which use their free time to help you guys as fast & helpful as possible and keep this thread alive.
    • Read at least the last two pages before posting to avoid repetitive posts.
    • Have a look at the Help-Index before asking anything which is already explained.
    • Check the Known issuesbefore reporting an issue.
    • Check for newer versions and their Changelog to see whether a problem you want to report is already fixed

    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.

    A
    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

    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.

    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.

    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.
