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

How goes it gang... Was wondering if anyone knows of a way to increase the size of a lockscreen shortcuts icon without altering other elements of the lockscreen? Pretty sure I can't do this with Xposed.. Not without altering other system graphics... On a side note, & this may help, anyone know what makes one themes icon package available via the system image picker and anothers not? I've pulled the icons I like out of the theme, just seems that when an icon is selected via the gallery it is considerably smaller than default and system options...... No big deal at all really... Just curious... Gotta say, you know you've put out a nice piece of work when a miniscule increase of lockscreen shortcut icon size is all I can find to tweak! Thanks for all the hard work guys... She's asmoove one! My apologies if this has been covered..

Do you love it? Do you hate it? There it is the way you made it!

Can't wait man. So am i only one keyboard stopped working Swype the aosp? Notice few issues but again how safe is incremental updates? As dev you must put it in any chance you could add out to the op general information like do we need gapps with a incremental update? And any comments on the new gapps being passed around forum. It's just updated.people posted it in thread didn't see you reply.thanks for hard work dev. good job.

Swype works fine for me on this ROM.

I'm not sure what you mean by incremental updates, are you talking about dirty flashing new root box updates? If you read the op thoroughly bajee does give a procedure for dirty flashing a new build, and yes you have to flash gapps again.

Well it's when you download only a small update with goo manager instead flashing everything it flashes only changes its also called a delta flash. It's not covered in op but dev must of put it in so if anyone had info on a delta updates let me know thanks. So no matter if it's clean or dirty or delta flash it needs gapps

I've also no idea what u talking about but maybe u mean something like an update packet?!

Don't ever heard about that, so there are only the stables and nightlies, which are also only ~150MB. (Samsung once between 300-500 (related to device)

It's incremental update it's on goo manager web site it's new as of last update go read web site if think I'm crazy. It's where you only download the changes from the update instead the entire Rom. Making your file you download much smaller. I'm nit crazy this is real thing come on Dev can explain this please.I read you had put the option inn so maybe explain what it is to everyone
I'm taking about nightly update. Normally you get entire a entire Rom flash it. I'm not taking about clean or dirty flashing I'm talking about brand new feature to download only part of the nightly. Google delta downloads or incremental downloads goo manager. Lol

Why u think, that we think, that u are crazy?!?
Nobody said anything like this, or?
We only said that we didn't know about it!

And what u now "explained" is that what I get out of ur first info and I think already heard about, but didn't know that it was already released/activated.
It's like an update.zip on older Samsung Roms, which only was some MB big and includes only the changes on Rom and not the whole one at all.

Btw, I personally prefer the whole nigjtly/stable here on RB, which isn't so big at all and maybe also beware of things which would be happen with a incremental update.


PS: So again, don't be so silly and assume things which never was said, no reason for it.

CHEERS ;)

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

Will i am crazy but it doesn't play into this. It's just I'm I am on my phone i can't link for you so search it up, you might use it if you do. It's a awesome idea and saves tons bandwidth. Plus makes sense why flash stuff you don't need to. Less flashing the better. Anyways not being silly just saying i lack ability to prove or even explain properly what in taking about but you hit Google up please then you can explain it. Thanks. I also want the dev to say something about it because he must implemented it in the code i assume.

Anyway i shouldn't post high.

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

I was wondering about being able to pull down the status bar in any application? I had it on touchwiz where I would pull down the top of the screen in any full screen app and the status bar would show then a second swipe down would expand it. Is that something that can be implemented or can it be enabled?

I apologize in advance if this is the wrong place to ask this question, I am still new and learning. Please direct me to the correct place. Thanks!

    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

    Data
    I can't find the Data toggle!?

    It's renamed to "signal".

    E
    Expanded Desktop
    Can I use Expanded desktop on this ROM?

    Yes. Enable it in RootBox Settings and switch it on or off in Power menu.

    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 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.
