Never mind my question. There is this nifty feature that I sometimes forget about call "Search this thread". It's kind of awesome.

I'm fairly new to this ROM (running for just over a week now) since the MeanBean dev went the way of Samsung. Anyway, I love the rom and want to update, but just wanted to check if a dirty flash works OK with this?

Re: [ROM] Unoffical Root-Box Nightly (JB 4.2.2)

I would wipe all but data Mike made a lot of changes with implementing the linaro chains as well as the root box team changing a few things. Even then you might still have issues. Just a heads up.

Well, I got impatient and am in the middle of a dirty flash now. Partly because of what I read in the threads, but mostly because I like to say that I did a "dirty flash".

If I experience any issues, I'll blow it up and go clean. Thanks!

Mike, your post about release on 3/31 sounds more like an apology than an update. We all can wait, and I really hope you don't feel like you're being pushed (hence the apologetic tone).

Thanks mass for what you're doing. I'm still on previous version. Damn, Jamie releases 3 ROMs in a day, and you release a 4th :eek: WTH are we all to do?

I, too, don't get why they changed from the AOKP MMS, I was really starting to dig it.

Maybe too many people had the issue I had, where themes were breaking the UI, and i didn't realize it could be themed independently until you guys pointed it out. .

Thanks for all your time, mike. :thumbup:

The headset worked OK with the 3/18 Root-Box build, so I only had problems with the 3/31 build. I went back to 3/18 and the headset started working again, so I think there is just a minor thing in the 3/31 build.

Thanks, I may do that. For now I'm compiling with the MMS from the AOKP repo, if that doesn't work right, I'll take yours for sure.

Haha, no worries man, I missed it too. I'm glad it was caught now though, I was about to release a SlimBeam ROM tonight and I thought I'd check the headphones, sure enough, they don't work on there either. I'm guessing it's a problem with how I compiled the kernel, since they both use the same one. Either way, I'm looking into it and will hopefully fix it soon, so I can update this ROM and release the other :D

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikshepard:
Thanks man, I'll have it up as soon as I debug this headphone issue. It has nothing to do with my kernel compiles (tried builds without the kernel -O3 flags, and komodo with same results). I think it has something to do with the hardware/qcom updates in the CM repo's. Logcat is showing the headphones being plugged in, but a "No state change" is the error." I tried using a niffy command (repo forall -c 'git checkout `git rev-list --all -n1 --before="2013-03-19 15:00"`') to refer my entire repo back to the 3/18/13 and that was a disaster, haha. So, now I copied my qcom directory over from a previous sync and I'm hoping that will work.

Bear with me everyone, I'm working on a fix.

-Mike

F.Y.I. for anyone using my how-to on the OP, this headphone error has shown that saving your current setup before updating your repo can be very useful (I really wish I had done it). Here is the command to do so (taken from here):

repo manifest -o snapshot.xml -r

and the command to restore your repo to a previous session:

repo init -m snapshot.xml
repo sync -d

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikshepard:
Not yet, I've had a few ideas that didn't pan out, and it's become harder because Root-box is incorporating many Paranoid Android features (per app colors, dpi settings, etc) and these are causing errors on my compile as well. I'm kinda getting hit at all angles on this. Give me a bit and I'll get it all sorted out for both Root-Box and SlimBean ROMs. I'm working two jobs, so it's kind of a: change something, compile, goto work, come back test it, compile another, goto 2nd job, repeat the next day. I'll have much more time next week to really start ironing stuff out more. Depending on how much things have changed, I may be offering two Root-Box ROMs. One without the latest Paranoid changes (for those of us that don't need them), and one with. Either way, I gotta fix this headphone problem first. I've determined its not a problem with the qcom updates as I originally thought, the compile earlier today told me that.

Bear with me folks, I'm on it

-Mike
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikshepard:
Well, perhaps I can help. Here's my git cheatsheet so far:

Look at build errors due to changes on local repo and reset them back to stock:

repo status → View current local changes to repo
repo forall -p -c 'git checkout -f' → clean out changes to repo

Cherrypick a commit from another branch/repo ("newbranch" name can be whatever):

git init ← initialize the directory as a repo
git remote add newbranch <github-url>
git fetch newbranch
git cherry-pick <SHA1>

Create a patch from the above "newbranch"

git format-patch -1 <sha>
patch -p1 < patchfile

Clone a branch/repo:

git clone -b my-branch git@github.com:user/myproject.git

To clone a branch without fetching other branches:

git init
git remote add -t $BRANCH -f origin $REMOTE_REPO
git checkout $BRANCH

Revert repo to previous date:

repo forall -c 'git checkout `git rev-list --all -n1 --before="2012-03-01 15:00"`'

Hey all,

I'm still working on a fix for the headphone problem, it's really weird and I can't seem to pinpoint what's causing it (6 compiles so far with no change). in the meantime if you wanna run the latest, SoundAbout will allow you to route the audio through your headphones. I'm working on a better fix, bear with me. Otherwise, 3-18-13 works fine and you can use that until I have a new version.

On the positive side, I got to play with the latest Root-box sources and there are many new changes. They switched to Paranoid Android for all dpi and hybrid-tablet settings and per-app status-bar coloring, new boot-animation, better settings menu, and much more. It'll be a sweet build for you all, once I get this problem resolved.

Stay tuned,

Mike

P.S. I'll also post what the problem is when I figure it out, for anyone interested.

Finally got it!! Many thanks to thicklizard for his solution! It was a small change to the kernel source that was needed.

I'm compiling a new ROM now and will hopefully have it uploaded tonight. In the meantime if people want a fix sooner, you can flash this kernel (taken from my SlimBean ROM I compiled with the headphone fix). To used this: Reboot into your bootloader, connect your phone to your computer, open a command prompt and move into the directory with the above kernel, and type "flashboot flash boot boot.img", wait for this output

sending 'boot' (5284 KB)... OKAY
writing 'boot'... OKAY

Then on your phone, scroll (using your volume keys) to "Reboot" and enjoy.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikshepard:
Nor have I. A long time ago on a CM10 ROM, I had that problem, but clicking on the "No Data" icon of the widget a few times, got it to refresh and it worked fine. If setting the Google Location access, and clicking the "No Data" part of the widget don't work, you need to look elsewhere. If it's happening on all ROM's for you, can you access Yahoo weather from the web browser of you phone? Are you running an ad-blocker? Please report back and we'll try to help you.

Awesome glad you for it fixed. On another note you were saying that the newest root box has a lot of the pa app preferences in it. I'm not fond of the new pa stuff. If you're still willing I'd prefer the original root box with all the other tweaks you implement. I wish I knew how to write code so I could just do this myself. Alas I have to just ask the wonderful people here to do it for me. I understand if you don't want to back track. Just my opinion and request. Thanks again for your hard work.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikshepard:
I'm with you man, I don't need the PA stuff either. I'm going to continue the 3-31-13 build but with more tweaks (this is minus the PA stuff), and then I'll keep a second one synced with the latest Root-Box repos, that will include the PA stuff. I'll also try to backport some of the newer options into the 3-31-13 builds, so they will bother be pretty similar. The one tonight will be with the latest sync, I'll do more with the older build early next week. You can use the fastboot option I mentioned a few posts back for now if you wanna stay on the older build until then.

Now that the headphone bug is finally out of the way, I'll be able to put my attention elsewhere on these ROM's. Good stuff is on the way man. I'll shoot you a test build of the older one when I get it done.

Hey all, you haven't been forgotten. Even thought the headphone problem has been fixed, the latest syncs with Root-Box have integrated Paranoid Android source to handle our per app dpi and hybred tablet modes. This is causing some minor problems for our phones that are keeping me from making it release to the public. I have a goal to try to release builds that you can be confident are solid daily drivers. I'm working on some fixes and will get one up as soon as possible. This is a great ROM and trust me, it'll be worth the wait. I'm working hard to get one to you, so stay tuned and you won't be sorry :)

P.S. I've heard your requests for a non PA settings version, and I'm working on that too. Let me get a latest nightly of the current Repo Sync (with PA settings) done first, and then we will add a second version that will be more like the 3-31-13 build but less focused on tablet settings and maybe eventually a separate fork of it's own. Big plans are in action, let me get through the weekend, and I'll hit it hard :)

OP Updated to look more appealing (it was long overdue). I added another build labeled "Nightly 3-31-13 Build - FIXED", this has the headphone issue fixed (thanks to thicklizard), and the bootanimation size problem fixed also.

Further, I will have another build up in a few hours that will feature the latest Root-Box sources. The major difference is that they are now using Paranoid Android's settings for all hybrid and per-app dpi features. Some of you have voiced a dislike towards this move they made, for that reason I released the fixed version of the previous release that didn't have this. Regardless of your thoughts, I do recommend playing with it for a bit, it is quite powerful.

To continue the old build without PA, I'm working on rolling my source tree back, it's proving a bit difficult, so it may be a little bit before I release another update to the non-PA version. However, my end goal is to have two running releases of this ROM, one with PA and one without. Bear with me as I try to make this happen.

Finally, as an update on the current status of Root-Box as a whole, the devs are moving towards merging GCC 4.7 and this is supposed to be done within a week. As this is the focus right now, I wouldn't imagine much will change to the sources in regards to other areas (although, what more could they really add? haha). However, all builds using the main sources are breaking from what I've read, so I'd hold off on syncing until they are done, if anyone is following my how-to (which needs updating).

Cheers,
