Good to know :)


Also @D2VZW users i'm currently installing Ubuntu and getting ready to get my build enviroment setup, so i will do my VERY best to keep at least D2VZW updated, i say that for now because that's what i have and since i'm starting i'd like to test it on my phone first :)

And @everybody else, if anybody has some links to good guides for adding cherry picks, or AOKP merges, etc. Please please please send them my way, i know that i can google stuff but i'd rather get information from people that actually used them. Or if you just have any advice please just PM me :)

Is there any way to fix the "gap" between the notification bar and the app when I set the navigation bar height to 0% ?

This happens in every app, not just Facebook

I'm not sure which change fixed it for me, but I adjusted every app to 240 dpi (everything listed, even the google files) and changed the transparency of the notification bar. After those changes the gap disappeared.

Ah like maybe 40 GB ? I used to run OS X and Ubuntu side by side with boot camp on a 128gb ssd and giving Ubuntu between 40-60gb it was fine.

With all do respect........ we should probably keep this thread for bajee's rootbox build. Maybe u can make another thread for help in a q&a forum. A lot of us have subscribed to this thread as we use Bajee's build, and the other talk just clutters and is technically off topic. Just my opinion

Those instructions are old and will not work. Use paranoid android's guide on their site for installing the java 6 jdk. Follow the cm wiki for building d2att 10.1 to get the rest of your initial setup finished.

Bajee posted instructions in the second post of the dev thread to do the actual build.

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?

I would try just reinstalling the ROM and gapps first. That could save you a bit of time.

    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.


    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”:
    => 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.

    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.
