Also in tablet mode, notification icons appear to be "faded" compared to the same icons in the status bar:

It doesn't look quite so bad in the screenshot, but in practice I find that the icons in the nav bar are incredibly difficult to see. None of the transparency settings seem to have any effect...

If your using Nova launcher then it may be the setting under Nova settings/desktop/show shadow. Make sure that is un checked.

Also you may get more responses if you bring this stuff up in the rootbox support thread in the gs3 general forum.

I'm using Apex, but anyway it's nothing to do with shadows. I don't need or expect support - I'm just reporting a bug :)

You should go to the support thread. I installed 3.7.1 with 12/12 gapps fine. Everything running smoothly.

Hello all. I apologize in advance if this post is in the wrong place. BUT, I am a little confused. I am on Rootbox 3.7.1. I was on Nightlies but if I am correct the Nightlies aren't exactly working on the nightly basis? I was on 2/08 until last night. What is the different between these nightlies and the the 3.7.1 at the moment? Which should I be running if I want the most current and stable? Again, love this ROM, just need some clarification.

3.7.1 is the newest release. Nightlies are nightlies (more on the exp. side), 3.7.1 is stable release. Although I have to admit the nightlies are just as stable. Next time there's a direct support thread in the general section and you can ask all questions there. Ton of info too. Bajee likes to keep this thread clean as it is for dev only.

Please take this to the Q&A thread. I suspect it has something to do with icon styling.

Im posting this on behalf of a friend. This is his first custom ROM. He just flashed this ROM (coming from stock) two days ago. Today he told me hes having some minor issue with his clock. It seems that when his phone is in sleep mode (Stand by) the clock doesnt seem to update, it just stops at the time whenever it reached sleep mode (if thats what its called). I went to setting to check out his date and time options and I noticed that his phone was reading as if it were in a different location. I changed it to "Eastern" but then when I recheck "Automatic Time Zone" it changed back to something else. It was 10am when i changed it, but it would go 3 hrs back when I re-checked the Time Zone option.
has anyone else noticed this? if so any suggestions?

I too had this happen with another 4.2.1 rom and I will never do it again because I missed my alarm. Never did find a fix for it tho. Sorry.

    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
