Scottspa mentioned changing DPI not transparency I was just throwing that out there to clarify. From what I see if you set it to 0 it will still show up while in an app I've never really played with the parents stuff much nor do I use tablet mode I know that's how you get rid of it while in normal mode. I'm sure Scottspa knew what he was talking about just missed place some terminology.

Here's a new build for you guys. Sorry but this is a small update, there has been no changes on the Root-Box side of things as nothing has changed on their git since the build in the OP. I've just made a few small changes/fixes, so consider this an incremental update with good stuff to come in the future :D

Here's the goods:

-latest Root-Box sources as of 8/12/13 (really nothing much changed here)

-latest Jewel fixes (data fixes, few kernel commits)

-bash prompt fix

-Focal from CM-10.2, compiled with latest sources (this is beta and many things don't work, I included it just for playing around with and seeing the progress)

-few other fixes

Slim Gapps

Enjoy the build!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bobarune:
Mike, it seems like all your link in the OP are messed up because all of them have something like "xn--http-fb7a//" in front of every link. I just have to delete that part to go to the right page. Using Chrome so it automagically puts the http:// part in front but hides it.

Gonna hopefully be flashing this later tonight

Edit: All the download links are fine but everything else has the thing above in front of it
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikshepard:
I have no problems with the links, nor do I see what you are talking about with the "xn--" in front of them. I checked on my phone, in Chrome, and on IE using a work computer, all look and work fine. Perhaps there was a problem with XDA for min? Everything seems fine now. Let me know if you have any further troubles.

Thanks

-Mike

EDIT: Looking again, I did see this happening on all the links, excluding the download ones (probably why I didn't catch it). After looking into it, the quotes surround the links seemed to be of a different font, causing the problem. Weird, but re-typing the quotes only, fixed it. Sorry for the inconvenience, not sure how that/why that happened.

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

Wow. I finally just flashed this. Literally almost too many options. Gonna take days to sort thru. Weeks. Lol.

A question, though. Ever since 4.+ android, I hate what they did with selecting a default app. For example, if you have multiple browsers and click a link, now instead of just touching the browser you wanna use, if you don't SRT a default, you also have to select 'just once' every time.

In the 4.1.2 ROM I just came from, ROM control had an option to revert back to GB style. Basically, just once was pre-selected. I'm not seeing that. Am I just overlooking it?

Also, in 4.2, I hate what android did with notification toggles, now requiring a second panel to get to power widget toggles. I had read that AOKP recently made a fix so you could use old style (notifications and toggles in single panel). It was a nice surprise to find that is in here. Its still less elegant than before, creating multiple rows, but still, glad to see it.

I need to find a book on all the PIE customization and xposed settings Lol.

Thanks, mike, for this.

Edit: I'm wrong. Apparently defaults does work old style now, it just does it by default (pardon the pun), with no setting available. Fine by me, it's just how it should be, I think.

Changelog for 3-18-13:

ROOTBOX: Breathing StatusBar Missed Call notification effect, Dark Root-Box option (gives everything a darker theme look, Volume Status quick setting option, 16:9 resolution ratio for Camera, More Battery Icon options (the speedometer is really cool), and SuperUser is fully integrated into settings with a dark background now.

ME: Switched DeskClock to my darker themed version, should be much more pleasing than the grey/red of stock. Compiled bash, nano, htop, netcat, openvpn, and rsync into ROM from the Cyanogen repo's (for those of you that like commandline tools), it doesn't add much to the overall size of the ROM.

EDIT: Ok, I lied. Nano, netcat, rsync, and htop didn't seem to take on the compile. Bash and openvpn work fine though. While these missing command line tools won't matter to the majority of you, I'll look into this and hopefully have it working in the next version for the few that it does. My apologies.

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

Battery issue here, too. Just switched from PAC 4.1.2 3 days ago and have been getting pretty awful battery life. Put komodo 29 on here last night, and dropped clock to 1.2 and intellidemand and still have managed to dropped to 17% battery in about 3 hrs. If anyone has suggestions for a battery-focused kernel setup, I'd love to know of it. TIA. Better battery stats is always difficult for me to read/decipher. That said, I haven't setup my auto-starts restrictions in ROM toolbox yet, so that may help when I do.

(D4mmit, XDA app not letting me post screenshots )

Also, the keyboard is awesome. Much better than the previous 4.2 KB that I've been using for a while. If I wanna pull the KB to use on diff ROM, can I just pull the latinIME from system/app, or are there libs that need to go with it?

TIA

Thanks for supporting this, Mike :thumbup::)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikshepard:
If you are moving to another 4.2.2 ROM, I would imagine that the /system/app/LatinIME.apk should suffice, otherwise if you are going to a 4.1 ROM, you would need the /system/lib/libjni_latinimegoogle.so, I believe.

As for the battery, I haven't experienced any worse battery life than other ROMs I've flashed. In fact, this has been better for me. I'm running stock kernel, with Interactive governor and row scheduler, NFC disabled (I disable on every ROM,never use). I'll try to monitor it more and make sure. How's the battery life for everyone else?

SMS and MMS both work fine for me on this ROM. I'm assuming you are having MMS problems and not SMS, since I haven't heard of SMS problems for our phones in a long time (if it is SMS, a bad flash might be the problem). I'm on eHRPD using 3G but also able to send/receive on 4G. Can you goto

Settings --> About Phone --> Status

, and tell me what is listed under

Mobile network type

? It really shouldn't matter which you are on, as the latest APN's allow for SMS and MMS on eHRPD and EVDO just fine, but I'm curious to know about your situation for debugging. How strong is your signal when you try to send/recieve? (I'm assuming you aren't roaming).

If you are indeed having a SMS problem, and a re-flash doesn't fix (please check md5sum's also) a logcat would help (for MMS as well). Let me know if you need instructions on how to get one.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikshepard:
No worries man, give Better Battery Stats a install and see if it's an app that is eating your battery. I've only been running this night for a half-day now but so far battery seems normal for me. I'll keep an eye on it, it's running the same kernel as CM10.1, pulled from their git repo's, so battery should be the same as that ROM. If there is something causing a mem leak in Root-Box's code, we should all be experiencing it (other phone's besides our Evo LTE too). I'll keep an eye on their repo's to see if anything is mentioned, but it seems solid so far and they are really on it in regards to updating. I do remember talk of the December gapps causing problems in the CM10 unoffical IRC room (never experienced any myself though), however I am running the 20130301 Gapps posted in the OP, if you are not, maybe give that a shot. Let me know what you come up with.

Connect your phone to your computer and run "adb logcat > logcat.txt" from the terminal, then send a pic through your Messaging app. Hit Control-C on the computer terminal when done, and attach it here or PM it to me. I'm not sure I'll find the problem but I'll give it a look and see.

My only issue with this rom is the amount of RAM I have. I get launcher redraws a lot and I think my phone can barely multitask without rebooting itself. I was only using Power Amp once and then I pressed the home button, opened notification toggles, clicked data, and then it rebooted. Happened twice. I'm using greenify to hibernate apps that I don't want running all the time like facebook and google maps. I also have the amount of ram showing in recent apps. When I'm at the home screen with no apps in recents, it says I only have 150 mb of ram or less. I'm using the latest Komodo. rls 29. Sometimes it reboots in my pocket.

I think these issues might be fixed if I flash with a clean wipe. I dirty flashed over from jamie's
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikshepard:
I had a problem with horrible multitasking on the first one I compiled. It was doing much the same as you described. I clean flashed and installed the lastest gapps (20130301 on the OP) and it's been great since. If you are already running the latest Gapps, then maybe a clean flash is the only solution for you. If not, try the newer Gapps. Either way, let me know how it works after, multi-tasking should not be a problem on this ROM.

I don't have a lot of experience in AOSP-based roms, so I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but I can't seem to figure it out. If I open notifications by swiping down from the status bar and then close it by swiping up, it immediately shows recent apps. If I close notifications by hitting the back button instead, no problem, it just goes back to what ever screen I was on. I installed after a full wipe and Pie is disabled, if that matters.

Thanks for any guidance.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fredgar75:
Re: [ROM] Unoffical Root-Box Nightly (JB 4.2.2)

That's the way it works. At the top right of the notification pull down you will see an image that looks like a person in a window. If you hit that it will goto quick settings, hit it again and it will take you back to notifications.

Thanks for your reply. However, it's not quick settings that it's going into and I understand how to toggle between notifications and quick settings.

Well DAMN, I had checked that first before posting the original question to make sure it wasn't turned on, but I just checked again and it was!
