Just to clarify, I don't know if the current nightly has it fixed, but the next new one should.

Edit: Looks like 3.8 just got pushed, that will most likely have it fixed.

Can't wait. Hey this weird i can't get dpi in settings to go to tablet mode when it did before. Could this be a change from last update and I'm missing something? The settings are right however i use nav bar now and pie which i didn't before when worked. I also changed my dpi but that would not matter would it

Just flashed v3.8 with a full wipe and I set the Notifcation bar transparency and now I cannot get the Transparency to stop. I have the slider to the right and it is still transparent. Help?

EDIT: I rebooted with no success. Screenshot attached.

Try using ROM Control -> General UI -> Transparency Settings.

That's what I had to adjust to do the opposite of you, trying to get it to stay fully black.

Just flashed the 2/17 nightly. Didn't expect the "official" release to be newer.

First time on RootBox. I'm seriously impressed with the professionalism in the OP and with the ROM itself.

  • FYI, CarHomeUltra "home" button action works properly.
  • And Torque PRO via BlueTooth works properly.

These are two things that are not working properly in many other AOSP ROM's. So, good job Devs!! :good:

This is a great rom, however I have a question about why DashClock is appearing the way it is now that I have updated to 3.8...since the update, the widget on the lockscreen looks like it is in the expanded mode when collapsed, instead of it's collapsed mode. Is anyone else that uses this app experiencing this issue? I'm assuming this is an issue with the app rather than the rom, but I am just curious if anybody knows of a way to fix it, or if there is a reason why it is behaving this way. Thanks.

Just curious. I tried looking through the changelog. It is very long (which is a good thing). Does the latest version by chance offer 8 slider shortcuts?

I just flashed Slim Bean to get this but I really like Vanilla Rootbox a lot also. Just wanted to ask before I flash away.

I'm not even sure if this belongs in the support thread either since this isn't ROM related. There are 2 different views. One is collapsed which is when the lock screen slider is up and the other is expanded when you're scrolling in between widgets

Yes I understand, the widget was working properly when I was on version 3.7 of this rom; however after updating to 3.8, the widget stays in the expanded view even when the lock screen slider is up.

New Feature : Breathing SMS notification

Thanks to Kroz for the amazing idea and icons.

What does it do: Instead of having an static icon for SMS notifications in statusbar, this feature will make the icon fade in/out giving it a breathing effect.

    Contribute to RootBox


    Those interested in making wallpapers and bootanimation for RootBox, send an email to rootbox.rom@gmail.com with the following:


    Information
    • Name
    • Email

    Wallpapers
    • Attach wallpaper in email
    • Two sizes are required: HDPI and XHDPI

    I'll review them and add the wallpapers in the next release. I will also choose the best one as the default wallpaper for official releases.

    Bootanimation
    • Attach bootanimation or paste download link in the email.
    • Two sizes are required: HDPI and XHDPI

    Wallpaper Resolution
    • HDPI: 960 x 800
    • XHDPI: 1440 x 1280

    You can also contribute by creating icons for settings. Use proper sizes and always include compatibility for HDPI and XHDPI.

    The reason behind this is very simple. I'm always busy and I've neglected the visual aspect of RootBox for a while now. It's time to polish it with new visuals!



    How to Build RootBox from Source


    Getting started

    I will assume that you have some kind of knowledge with Linux and how to use a terminal. I will also assume that you have already setup all the android building requirements. First, you must create your working folder and initialize a repository with RootBox sources. The following steps will guide you in creating this working folder where you will be able to build RootBox.

    You should now open a terminal (By default you should be in your home folder: /home/yourusername/)


    Step 1: Let's create a folder in your home directory named RootBox. This will be referred as your working folder.

    Code:
    ~$ mkdir RootBox


    Step 2: Let's change our directory to the new RootBox folder we just created.

    Code:
    ~$ cd RootBox


    Step 3: Now that we are in our working folder (RootBox), we will initialize our RootBox repository by entering the following command:

    Code:
    ~$ repo init -u git://github.com/Root-Box/platform_manifest.git -b jb-mr1


    Step 4: It's now time to sync RootBox sources which could vary from a few minutes to a few hours depending on your internet connection.

    Code:
    ~$ repo sync


    Building Vanilla RootBox

    Now that you have synced the sources, you're ready to build RootBox.

    You can run the following build script:

    Code:
    ~$ . build_rootbox.sh -device- -sync- -thread- -clean-

    • Device: Choose between the following supported devices: i9100, i9100g, i9300, d2att, d2tmo, d2vzw, mako and grouper.
    • Sync: Will sync latest RootBox sources before building
    • Threads: Allows to choose a number of threads for syncing and building operation.
    • Clean: Will remove the entire out folder and start a clean build. (Use this at your discretion)

    Examples:

    1) Sync sources and Build RootBox for GT-I9100 with 12 threads

    Code:
    ~$ . build_rootbox.sh i9100 sync 12

    2) Don't sync sources, clean out folder and build RootBox for GT-I9300 with 6 threads

    Code:
    ~$ . build_rootbox.sh i9300 nosync 6 clean

    3) Don't sync sources, clean out folder and build RootBox for SGH-I747 with 4 threads

    Code:
    ~$ . build_rootbox.sh d2att nosync 4 clean

    4) Sync sources, clean out folder and build RootBox for Nexus 4 with 5 threads

    Code:
    ~$ . build_rootbox.sh mako sync 5 clean

    This script will make a signed flashable zip file located in out/target/product/-device-/RootBox-JB-(Device)-Nightly-(Date).zip
