Re: [ROM][4.2.2] RootBox Non-development | Discussion | Support [d2att/2tmo/d2vzw]

Tried that. Rolled back to the previous working version. Settings is still stuck. Even double checked manual dpi setting. It still reads 320.

Was having some issues similar to yours myself... Wiped my internal card completely & reflashd... overall she's running incredibly smooth.. that being said, I'm using hybrid settings instead of xposed for DPI control. I get the feeling that hybrid settings override xposed settings.. or at least conflict with them. So is the future of per app DPI Hybrid Settings? Was just starting to really make use of font scaling w/ xposed. :)
Only trouble I'm having now is non-functional Swype on the stock keyboard.... Suspect that's my own damn fault..(inverted gapps)'
Again... Absolutely love this ROM! THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK! $ :cool:

Something just occurred to me even though bajee will keep his repo synced since Rootbox is based off of aokp will new aokp features/fixes still get merged in when we sync?

I think that's what I'm going to do. Wipe and re-flash to the latest nightly... and just not mess with the 'hybrid settings' or DPI control. Until paranoidandroid figures out how to make the text sizes work, and that fix gets ported over to rootbox, I won't use the hybrid settings at all.

If you look in the platform_manifest you can see which parts are coming from bajee's repos and which come directly from other projects. If they are directly linked the changes will be available right away, otherwise they are available whenever bajee merges them into his repos.

New d2vzw nightly compiled using Bajee's instructions, NOTHING was modified at all. Just a straight repo sync, and build :)

I actually posted it in the Verizon S3 development thread since right now i don't plan on modifying his build. so creating my own thread wouldn't do much. And to be honest i'm not quite sure, i repo synced and then compiled :p

Is it just me or is the screenshot nav bar button no longer an option. I had it on 3.8 and don't now on 3.9.1

It was a really nice feature as I could screenshot my notification background and can't by using extended power menu or the button combo. :(

Re: [ROM][4.2.2] RootBox Non-development | Discussion | Support [d2att/2tmo/d2vzw]

All right, I've got a weird one. After googling and searching within the RootBox threads, I've not found an answer.

After updating to the latest nightly (20130323) and gapps (20130301) from the previous nightly (20130319) and gapps (20121011).

At first, I couldn't get the navbar to go away (it appeared on it's own, and after rebooting and toggling a dozen times, it finally went away). That's finally fixed. I set my phone through the new hotlink to phablet mode. Didn't like it. Went back to phone mode. Now my system settings is stuck in phablet mode. I've used Xposed and tried to force system settings to 320 (GSIII default), and nothing works.

Wipe everything and fresh install?

There are 3 diff ways to set phablet mode... 2 in hybrid settings and one in general ui... Just make sure they all say phone mode and that you DO NOT have the dual panel option checked

AHA! Thank you good sir! I DID have dual panel checked! I don't remember doing it, but regardless, that fixed it. Thanks! Now I don't have to wipe my damn phone tonight!

I've got another one - this is dealing with the latest nightly. Navigation Bar (and Ring, in the lockscreen) won't disable. Only way I can get rid of it is by checking the 'hide' box. Nav Ring doesn't leave the lockscreen, though. Solution - wait for next nightly?

    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

    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.

    I just sync and build, don't know much about bug fixing though :( that's Bajee's expertise :)

    I'll fix it tomorrow after my exam. Latest should be sunday.

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

    Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2

    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.
