If I can help, let me know !! :)

There is one thing I may be able to help with re: Camera.

If you have the camera open and you touch the 'Panorama' icon, it may go to 'Gallery.'

If this happens, here is a fix - I have tested and it works.

This ROM is so smooth and fast compared to CM10.1. Really good work guys !
There are just too much settings which can confuse users.. (In my opinion of course). Plz CM guys, can you pick some lightning tweaks from this ROM :p

Thx

Damn i really love the option to unlink the ring and notify volume !!!!
Is this option re-enabled in JB 4.2.2 or is it an programming art from rootbox? ;)

@hustonn

sorry to bother u again i have a question maybe u know the reason:

I´m running latest build and have a lagging homescreen when running a live wallpaper. (When scrolling through launcher pages and lwp is lagging as well).
Just to be sure i restored AOKP, CM and PAC and tested then and there its not lagging like its on rootbox.
I have no clue what could cause this... maybe linaro stuff while compiling ? some optimization flags ? The strange stuff is that the three others are buttery smooth.

EDIT

u wont belive... if u set nav ring targets left and right, then this stuff happens on all ROMs :)

This may be a bit premature, but how's the battery life so far?

I know a lot of the AOSP roms aren't that refined in the battery dept yet.

All and all, battery is quite good for me. YMMV depending on how you use your phone of course.
Houstonn has included setting for kernel mods:
I changed - Read Ahead Buffer Speed to 2048
Scheduler to cfq
govenor to smartmax
and I am getting good numbers all around.

This is houstonn's initial release- whenever he does a new build, which is quite often, he includes kernel tweaks in addition to any fixes he has added and is good about posting changelogs.

Hope this helps. :)

Thanks for the quick reply! Appreciate it.

I've looked at this rom in the past on other phones and love how slim it is. I went ahead and flashed it and so far so good. Everything seems to be functioning just fine which is nice. There definitely is a performance drop going from stock (with nova launcher, not sense) to this (also with nova launcher). Switching screens and browsing is graphically lagged compared to stock - but still an improvement over other AOSP builds I've tested.

Looking forward to updates, keep it up! Great work so far.

Nova launcher is one of my top 5, indeed good.
Just for grins you may want to try the Xperia launcher he has in post #2 - I will admit, I am partial, tho as I have used it for a few weeks ( on other devices as well) and at least for me has been the fastest, quite a few custom settings, too.

One other quick note: The notifications/ringers/etc that come through the speaker appear to be distorted - almost like the speakers are blown or something? Clearly they're not blown, but the sound definitely has a distortion that stock does not. I have to turn it down quite a bit to make it go away.

In-Call Speaker Volume seems a bit quiet as well.


Loving the rom so far, really recommend peeps to check it out.

Does this still allow you to take a Zoe? Or do all these AKOP etc roms not have the Zoe function? What about HDR?

Thanks, sorry for my ignorance, but I could not find this question answered, and I do not want to install a ROM and lose all the camera stuff.

Have not been able to duplicate this issue... maybe if someone else has it they can report, too.

Zoe is actually only available in Sense based roms so it is not included.
HDR is included and works quite well. :)

    Description

    • Vanilla RootBox is built straight from RootBox sources & Google Sources
      and always carries a very light installation with no extra/useless apps.
      This means, you can enjoy a pure Android experience combined with PA/AOKP/CM features and some cherry-picks.
      Keep in mind Jelly Bean is only at the beginning stage of development and there will be minor bugs.
      If you're wondering how this ROM differs from any other AOKP roms out there
      Try it yourself and choose the one that meets your requirements

    Recommended Install

    • Wipe Data/Factory Reset (This does not affect your Internal/External storage)
      Wipe Dalvik Cache
      Flash RootBox
      Flash JB GAPPS
      Wipe Dalvik Cache
      Reboot

    All the heavy lifting is done over at https://github.com/htc-msm8960 - thank those guys,
    they are working incredibly hard to bring AOSP to this device. I think the list of developers goes something like this:
    h8rift, intervigil, toastcfh, deck, Flinny, Flemmard, Codeworkx, birdman. That means that any bugs that exist in other
    AOSP builds will probablacy exist in these builds.

    NEW BUILD!!!

    July.16.2013


    • Halo: tablet mode support

      Fix torch state for QS/Power Widget
      *Also add long press action for torch toggle

      QuickSettings: FavContact & UserTile: Open full contact page
      *QuickContact popup can only be used for phoning/messaging/emailing,
      which doesn't make sense when you're opening your own contact.
      Opening the full contact directly makes it easier to beam or share
      with other (one less click)
      *Also added this change to include FavContact

      Set foreground priority for shutdown receivers.
      *The broadcast of ACTION_SHUTDOWN has a timeout of 10 seconds. To
      reduce the risk of hitting the timeout and speeding up the
      shutdown sequence in ShutdownThread we set the priority of the
      BroadcastReceivers to FLAG_RECEIVER_FOREGROUND.
      We have seen that this change reduces the shutdown time when
      the system is under heavy load

      systemui: Add CONNECTIVITY_INTERNAL permission
      * SystemUI needs to be able to list interfaces if tethering is in use
      and we ask for a second tethering path to be set up (BT+USB, etc).
      * Add permission to stop exceptions in the framework and enable
      tethering thru multiple paths.

      all upstream syncs

      sync'd CM's m7-common and m7-kernel today's latest commits

      enjoy!

    May.21.2013 - Initial Release


    May.23.2013
    May.24.2013

    • Add transparency settings for lockscreen
      This will enable the user to set the transparency level
      for the lockscreen.

      FW: Ribbon v1.0 overhaul
      Thickness Increase max && decrease min
      Configurable long swipe and long press swipe areas
      consolidate and cache views for smoother animations
      User adjustable animantion duration
      Add dismiss options for swipe ribbon
      - Always dismiss on click
      - never dismiss on click
      - Don't dismiss for navbar action
      fix app window crash if user has fast fingers and to much time
      on their hands...
      Swipe ribbon drag handles now get their own location, height,
      width, and opacity.
      Hide apps from app window
      Hooks to dismiss app window if softkeys or navbar buttons pressed
      Fix app window to pull all components also IE camera and messenger.
      Rub some unicorn polish on the on touch glow. The giant boxes were
      a bit ridiculous.
      If ribbon is empty but toogles are not, just show toggles no flipper.
      add adb wireless to toggle map
      Phase 1 of the Animation chooser. Simple helpers to let users
      choose the animation for the swipe ribbon and app window.
      ill be adding some fancier animations for now just some of
      the stock AOSP one.
      Add lots o animation options. Also preload animations instead
      of creating them at run time, should smooth things out a bit.
      Keyboard IME hide, Vertical spacing App window, Cache resources.
      Fix IME hide when navbar hidden.
      Longpress on app window now takes you to app info.

      Per-app PIE color
      Since we're using Per-app color now, let's use it for PIE as well.

      Fix layout of MultiWaveView and GlowPadView.
      If the calculated size of the rings is much smaller than the measured
      size (which is happening e.g. on mdpi 600x1024 tablets), the glow pad
      appeared shifted to the right.
      This happened due to the insets being calculated as difference of
      available and needed size, and later on being added to the available
      size. Example numbers (Nexus 4 with density forced to 160):
      - computed size in onMeasure: 768x505
      - scaled size in onMeasure: 505x505
      - thus, insets are calculated as 131/0
      - in onLayout, placementWidth (364) and max target width (108) are much
      smaller than width (768)
      - thus, center is calculated as 131 + (768 / 2) = 515, thus shifted to
      the right
      Fix that by not using width in the calculation, as the inset size
      already takes it into consideration.

      LockScreen: Fix crash when unlocking twice
      This will keep track if the BroadCastReceiver is registered and
      will unregister it only if so.

      Fix message composing in DarkUI with emojis enabled

      fix xxhdpi inverted launcher icon for Mms (HTC ONE)

      Mms: set notification number attribute for messages
      This will enable also the notification count overlay properly

      sorry didn't get much time to work on kernel :(

    • RB Settings: Update icon for keyboard enter

      AudioService: Remove STREAM_NOTIFICATION from ringer mode streams

      EthernetDataTracker: Set network available on connected
      This change fixes state mismatch found in the bugs below,
      and makes the code look consistent with disconnect().
      In startMonitoring(), reconnect() is called before mNMService.registerObserver().
      Then dhcpThread.run() could finish without getting interfaceLinkStateChanged() callback.
      In such a case, mNetworkInfo has connected but not-available state - which is contradictory.

      FW: Fix Menu Overflow Disable Option
      The three button Menu Overflow would display no matter what setting was seleted within ROMControl, this commit makes a slight change to correctly return a result that reflects the users selection through ROMControl.
      I had to enable then disable the option for it to function correctly (no reboot required)

      Remove opaque check in preparing dirty region
      Since preserve swap is enabled, we need to clear the color buffer
      when the scissor rect is prepared for a new process. This prevents
      garbage being present from the previous process in the color buffer.

      SystemUI: show blue dc-hspap icon when connected to Google services

      TelephonyManager: hide NETWORK_TYPE_DCHSPAP

      LockScreen: Fix crash when unlocking twice
      This will keep track if the BroadCastReceiver is registered and
      will unregister it only if so.

      SystemUI: fix vertical date not showed while on Pie

      SystemUI: show date on 2 lines in status bar
      This allows showing of the full day of the week, and removes
      the blank space above the date (which always felt strange to
      me when clicking it to access the calendar).
      It also fixes a spacing issue on smaller screen devices that
      causes the quick settings button to be partially chopped off
      when the AM/PM clock settings are enabled.
      Fixed an accidentally dot showed in some languages (for ex. US english)

      Bluetooth: Fix MAP accept threads sometimes spinning endlessly.
      Randomly (under no obvious precondition), the MAP access threads spinned
      endlessly after enabling BT, because mServerSocket.accept() always threw
      IOExceptions, probably because the actual socket was already closed.
      This change makes sure to exit the thread when that happens to not waste
      CPU cycles and battery power.
      This tracks similar changes done to the BluetoothPbapService and makes
      sure to follow the (working) PBAP flow.

      Fix a number of issues with T9 dialer.
      - Fix an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException (like reported in
      [1]) which happened when highlighting the last digits of a number and
      the number had additional characters after those digits.
      - Fix another potential ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException due to the
      highlighting code relying on normalNumber being a subset of number,
      which wasn't the case due to number being additionally sent through a
      formatter. Fix that by running the formatter before normalizing.
      - Fix number highlighting not working if the number match occured at the
      end of the number.
      - Fix number type label & formatting not being updated on locale
      changes.
      - Fix T9 search not being triggered when pressing the dial button to
      recall the last dialed number.

      Remove DEBUG to avoid to run checking at every turn
      Needn't to run storage checking in DEBUG mode at every turn,
      it will make "DELETE OLD MSGS" always be checked in Mms Settings

      Enhance the Easy Selector
      - Follow GoogleUI Guidelines
      - Fullscreen selector
      - Added groups support

      Mms: Go TRDS 2.0
      use propper configuration values now

      MMS app: fix crash when MMSC setting is NULL
      An APN with a null MMSC column prevented the MMS app
      to find the next APN in query.

      Camera: Add TrueView
      This commits adds the ability to show the complete image sensor frame
      rather than the cropped preview used by aosp to fill the entire
      screen.

      Fix audio in Hangouts
      * Add higher sample rates and stereo input device
    May.29.2013

    • Fix wrong log information in DevicePolicyManagerService
      When user reset password their password,
      if password doesn't match target quality of device,
      DPM print a log why can't reset password.
      however log message isn't correct information.
      in log context, it have to exist current quality
      and target quality. this patch can help print correct log

      Avoid IllegalArgumentException in Preference.java compareTo()
      In some situations the collection.sort() algoritm fails in compareTo()
      with a: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Comparison method violates
      its general contract!, due to a more strict validation of the compare
      contract.

      Fix CalendarView to show the month title properly.
      Step to reproduce:
      Do this test on a Tablet (i.e. do in multi-pane layout)
      1. Settings > Date & time > Uncheck the Automatic date & time checkbox.
      2. Select 'Set date' and set the month to January and Done.
      3. Re-select 'Set date' then you will find no month title just above the calendar.

      Framework/base: Added synchronization block to avoid race condition
      Fix for the synchronization issue leading to access of an array
      Index out of bounds. Issue occurs due to race condition between
      removing the activities of a crashed process from history stack
      and resuming a separate activity.

      SystemUI: Fix Tablet UI Date View
      Mobile indicator has been removed, is still showed in quicksettings mobile tile. http://goo.gl/1ZtuS

      phone numbers.
    May.30.2013


    • TRDS 2.0: Update Dark toggle state

      Make character picker for QWERTY keyboards use HOLO theme
      Also, removed the cancel button. Instead, touching outside will close
      the dialog

      Improve auto-brightness handling
      - Add a setting to control the auto-brightness algorithm responsitivity
      - Make the algorithm react much faster when the ambient brightness
      increases quickly, e.g. when receiving a call in bright sunlight.
      Allow changing auto-brightness responsitivity.

      FW : Allow user selection of Font Size
      RC : Allow user selectable StatusBar FontSize

      Settings: refactor TRDS toggle and add some apps

      RC: fixup ribbons icon
      *more appropriately sized and colored

      Phone: transparent in call widget (optional)
      To see the complete contact picture on incomming calls
      a lot prefer to have a transparent background. This commit
      introduces this feature as optional option.
      As well a bit sorting of the phone settings screen

      tons of other crap :p

    • Reduce observers in SystemUI: StatusBarIconView
      Currently, for each status bar icon view there is a observer that
      listens for changes of STATUS_BAR_NOTIF_COUNT. With one

      notification usually having one or more status bar icons
      you may end up easily with 10+ more observers for ~5 notifications.
      With this commit the internal observer class becomes a singleton.
      This means there is now only one observer for all status bar icons
      and additional binder calls on new notification are avoided.

      Reduce observers in SystemUI: KeyButtonView
      This is based on the work by Jens Doll for the StatusBarIconView
      The ContentObserver class will be a singleton, so there is only
      one observer for all buttons.
      On my Nexus 10 it reduced the observer count from 48 to 4.

      Reduce observers in SystemUI: BatteryBarController
      This is based on the work by Jens Doll for the StatusBarIconView
      The ContentObserver class will be a singleton, so there is only
      one observer for all instances.
      On my Nexus 10 it reduced the observer count from 15 to 3

      Fixing crash in PhoneNumberUtils getNumberFromIntent
      Handling intent with no data when trying to retrieve number from
      intent.

      audio: Add overlay to fix analog docks.
      Of particular interest to devices using libhardware_legacy and
      affected by commit 5a484b7: http://goo.gl/rVR1Z
      which restricted the routing of AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_ANLG_DOCK_HEADSET
      to docks using FORCE_ANALOG_DOCK cases. The EXTRA_DOCK_STATE_CAR case is
      returning FORCE_BT_CAR_DOCK, preventing the dock audio from routing properly.
      Add an overlay option for overriding to FORCE_ANALOG_DOCK.

      FW: Menu Overflow Disable - Different Implementation
      Original method I used to enable the menu overflow disable option incorrectly disabled the menu overflow altogether for some devices due to a late night derp.
      This implementation of the check to confirm if the menu overflow has been disabled through ROMControl should hopefully correct this issue.

      Pie: set Big as default for item gap (2/2)
      Screen: http://goo.gl/aocZ7
      Pie: updates (2/2)

      Pie: Fix and easy recalculation for Chevron and Pie
      Pie: set angle default to 12° (1/2)
      Pie: let Chevron adapt itself from pie's angle.
      > This make Chevron able to recreate the battery bar when the angle changes.

      Improve auto-brightness handling
      - Add a setting to control the auto-brightness algorithm responsitivity

      Settings: Call Ring mode what Google calls it, not Silent mode

      Adapt torch intent for Glowpad
      Change intent for this feature as we do not use AOKP'S torch

      Lockscreen Longpress: Unlock Logic

      In my opinion, we should unlock after
      user removes their finger.
      This matches short-press unlock better
      and allows the user to change their mind
      on a target (I do that a lot).
      Added a vibration action on longpress
      being true.

    I decided to do an extra build for you guys since I noticed today an extra BT commit on CM's common device repo.. so the new build is in the OP as July.08b.2013 - the extra fix is what I'm gonna post below. thanks.

    m7: Fix BCM4335 chip crashes caused by BT/WiFI concurrency
    * The stock B+ driver works around chip crash that occurs when WiFi is
    on and BT is enabled/disabled by sending a magic patch to the
    hardware.
    * This patch was not in an external file, so some reverse engineering
    was required to extract it and put it in the correct format.
    * Enable the prepatch and enjoy crash-free Bluetooth :)

    NEW BUILD!!!

    June.24.2013


    • Give user the option to use new Recents or Stock (kill-all)

      More options added to hardware key rebinding
      In the same vein as the available Navbar actions, this adds the following new hardware key rebind options:
      * Last app: Switches to the last app
      * Custom app: Launches an application/activity of your choice

      Settings: Add Home/Back buttons available for rebinding
      This also removes the Kill App Longpress Back toggle in Development Settings since it is now a bindable action.
      Preview of settings: http://goo.gl/uvrjF

      Ringtones: Fix ANDROID_LOOP=true for ArgoNavis and Perseus ringtones

      FW: Update icons for better PAC compatibility

      RB Settings: Update icon for recents style.

      m7: sync'd up with CM

      enjoy!
