This Rom is a brainchild of RD/RC bajee11, and all credits and donations should go to him only.​

Vanilla RootBox is built straight from RootBox sources and always carries a very light installation with no extra/useless apps. This means, you can enjoy a pure Android experience combined with AOKP/CM features and some CM cherry-picks. There will be minor bugs. Every RootBox releases are stable and always up to the challenge for daily usage. I personally have a high standard when it comes to releases and this is why this project always meets the expectations of users. If you're wondering how this ROM differs from any other AOKP roms out there, I only have one thing to say: Try it yourself and choose the one that meets your requirements.

Bugs

CPU frequency sliders in Performance Settings don't work (known CM10.1 bug), but you can set them using Rom Toolbox, SetCPU or similar apps from PrayStore

Rootbox is currently being updated to being compiled using Google 4.7 toolchain, so there may be some other bugs, but please do keep
in mind that this is a work in progress, and things will only get better given time

removed-apks.zip

Removed apps:

Email
Exchange
Launcher2
Live Wallpapers
Live Wallpapers Picker
Sound Recorder
Video Editor
Voice Dialer

You have to extract those you need, paste or push them to /system/app,
fix permissions so they are the same as the other apps in the folder and reboot. It is NOT a flashable zip.

Side note. This ROM is full of futures™(features). Just start playing with the ROM first, then come back to this Fred.
Explore them by yourselves. Thanks :D
If that's alright with you, I'll ask a mod tomorrow to reassign my 4nd post ('Maybe') to you for Freaking Annoying Quastions, especially for PA
stuff I'm more than clueless about.

Purdy puhleeze?

Sounds good to me. Excellent! Ore a discussion Fred :good:

BTW. Got the PA prefs working again. You might want to take it in the 2nd post, after it got verified of course and confirmed working.

DL the zip file below and extract it /somewhere/on/your/phone
Make system RW only if necessary ;)
Simply put those 6 .XML files in system/etc/paranoid/preferences and make sure all of them have 644 permission (rw- r-- r--)
Reboot.
Enjoy hybrid settings of PA.
Whoosa ...:cowboy:

Yes. I have seen the FC Browser multiple times now ... Hm . No clue, okay. Dolphin works.
Concerning PA prefs. There will be an ugly FC of system ui maybe as well, if you change it to tablet ui, e.g. option 2 (192dpi). As Bajee wrote he will have more time at the end of the month

Dolphin works.
Boat browser also works, no FC.

He keeps saying he's busy with Real Life®, but I've been tracking his Github activity for days, and it's been pretty lively, I can tell you that:

https://github.com/Bajee11?tab=activity

Simply put those 6 .XML files in system/etc/paranoid/preferences and make sure all of them have 644 permission (rw- r-- r--)
Reboot.
That won't be necessary starting from the next build if the XML files perform well. I'll insert them into the Rom so nobody has to bother pasting them into /system themselves.

Awwww, just hit the root box website and found this.

--------------------
As some of you know, Bajee is taking break from RootBox due to personal reasons. This does not mean the end of RootBox, he will continue maintaining RootBox sources.
