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

Tried ktoonz at one point but the kernel didn't like me... So far task underwear kernel works and my front facing can and Skype are back to normal... Phone also seems more responsive on task kernel... I may give ktoonz another shot if task falls thru later.

If anyone needs task underwear kernel this is the link http://www.mediafire.com/?rm1pesfk7ehfes8

From what I've been told all the gs3 kernels are interchangeable... I was using leankernels newest kernel on my tmo gs3 and it was a vzm build... So just nandroid, install and see what happens.

If your running stock kernel that's prob why... Ever since I switched to a diff kernel I have had no dark root box issues
I see. Well I just confirmed it is the Dark Root box theme. Its been tripping out my phone so I'm going to leave it off and see if it keeps my phone from crashing. Assuming the theme isn't 100% stable? Correct me if I am wrong.

just my update

my phone has been running fine with the newest nightly ,im on att with tasks underwear kernel version 3.4.36 (i think there might be a newer kernel im about to check with his update) and i have dark root box running with hue green 2.5 moded with the mega boss theme i posted way back,the ony problem i have is it takes a while after a reboot to get up to full speed ,but thats probably due to all the theme stuff and the uccw widgets that have to load but havent had any rom related issues so far so great

    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.



    Help Index

    ** Index created by Kubics and Hannibal

    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”:

    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.

    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.
