Dear Friends,

This is an extremely POWERFUL ROM and I thank ALL contributors of it very, very much! Unfortunately, due to the sheer wealth of customizations available... I need some help from you guys. I also need to report a few potential bugs here as well:

1. On the Lockscreen, is there anyway to get the FULL AOKP clock with the Weather information as well? If so, how?

2. On the Notifications drop down, is there anyway to display the Weather information with the icon, like in the AOKP ROMs in 4.1?

3. On the Lockscreen, is there anyway to display the Clock like I described in # 1, AND have the Ring with shortcuts AND have some sort of a Missed Call/Text notifications widget/tool, ala Sense "Productivity Lockscreen?" If so, how and what app/widget/tools are you guys using?

4. On the Notifications drop down, is there anyway to display the Toggles as Slider - On/Off toggles with Text, like in AOKP in 4.1? If so, how?

5. On the Drop down for 4.2 Toggles Menu... is there anyway to change the Carrier Name on the "Signal" (Data) tile? If so, how?

Potential Bugs:

1. When I check the "Breathing Status bar" for Missed Calls or Text - NOTHING happens... am I missing something here?

2. If you select the Display Network ID while Wifi is On option, the SSID is NOT displayed, instead, the Carrier name is repeated twice.

I thank you guys in advance for all the help here! Thank you.

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

There are a few things you are asking about that can be done. I don't have the time right this min but later I will go through them for you. If someone else doesn't beat me to it.

But yes you can get lock screen weather. Just drag down just below the clock, press and hold on it and remove it. Then press the + that will come up and re-add the clock widget and will then give you the options to set weather. That's all I have time for right now. :D

fredgar, I will patiently wait for your response, brother, thank you in advance :D!

The weather suggestion DID NOT work though :(..!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dryvali:
In the change log for the 3-18 version it is listed that there should now be an option for 16:9 ratio, can anybody tell me where to find this? I believe I've looked in all of the camera settings and still can't find it.

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

You probably have to turn it on first then. I just got home and will sit down in a min and type up my long winded reply. Lol. :D

That might be for a different device. This is an unofficial rootbox port so some options in the change log might not be capable. Yet!

Ok #1 Go to rootbox settings/ clock/ weather panel. Choose what options you want and then hit the check mark at the top of the screen.

After that go back to your lock screen and remove the clock already there and re-apply it.

#2 No right now there is no way to get notification bar weather widget. Not sure if Mike can do that or not.

#3 The clock we discussed in #1. Go back to rootbox settings/ lockscreen targets and set it how you like.

For messaging and missed call notifications they will popup in your status bar but you can also and widgets to the lockscreen.

First go to rom control/ lockscreen and allow all widgets. I also allow unlimited widgets and use widget carousel. Then to make it easier to get to the widgets check minimize lockscreen challenge. Now go back to your lockscreen and slide the screen to the right and press the + sign and add til your hearts content.

#4 ok there are 2 things you can do. first go to rom control/ toggles style and check traditional and then set them up how you like.

Now if you also check enable fast toggle you can then choose to set up the status bar if you pull down from the right side of the bar you get the toggles and the left you get notifications. Now enabling traditional toggles wont give you a slider, it just makes more rows.

#4b Now if thats not what you want then go to root box settings/ power widget and check the box, then set them up how you like. Now these toggle will be in the notification side of your pull down. They do scroll but do not have the name of the toggle.

#5 No I do not know of a way to change the signal name.

BUGS

#1 the breathing sms icon means it will blink on and off when you get a notification in your status bar.

#2 I get the same thing with showing your name twice. Not sure why.

If there is anything else I can help with do not hesitate to ask. And I hope this helps.

:D

EDIT: to get the weather clock on your home screen just add the clock and resize it to a larger size to show the weather panel.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikshepard:
Fredgar75 answered most of these, but I'll add a few things.

2. There is no way on this ROM to do it right now, I know others do and maybe at some point I can try to add it it later (that's a bit over my head but I can play with it), however that wouldn't be anytime soon. Otherwise, I'll build a SlimROM port soon and that will have it, but you won't have a PIE option in there, so you'll have to pick your poison I suppose for now.

3. Yes this is possible, install DashClock from the PlayStore, some other ROMs are replacing cLock with it already by default and it will give you Clock, Weather, and Notifications on your lockscreen in one widget. (Note: I haven't used this personally, I'm happy with the cLock widget, but it's received excellent reviews)

4. This was already answered but I thought I would add that you can always access your quick tiles by opening the Notification Tray and swyping the bottom of it either direction.

I posted that in the changelog because this option was added to the Root-Box github and compiled in. I actually haven't used the default camera that comes with this ROM since a few flashes ago, so I haven't looked into enabling it. I've been replacing the stock cam with the 4.2 Nexus camera with Photosphere instead (I use it at jobsites). I'll put the stock back on my phone and look into this weekend if it doesn't get answered by then, but I'm hoping someone can check this and have an answer soon for you. Sorry I don't have a better response right now.

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

Love the ROM one of the best feature rich Roms out there. I have been running it for some time now and the only issue I have had and have had with any Aosp ROMs is the proximity sensors. While on the phone it will switch to other operation's like app drawer or other things. Is this something anyone else is seeing or is it an isolated issue?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikshepard:
Re: [ROM] Unoffical Root-Box Nightly (JB 4.2.2)

I had that problem real bad when running kernels with sweep-to-wake enabled. Running stock, it hasn't happened much, occasionally on a bright day if I bring my phone to my ear too quickly, that'll happen. I'll keep an eye on it more though.

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

Mike, I see you mentioned dashclock widget. I see it still doesn't have the nice weather icons AOKP has (still, thank you for the suggestion). I don't understand why CM went with the really corny weather icons unlike AOKP, which went with really nice, high res weather icons. Would be great if someone could figure how to get AOKP weather bon rootbox.

Thanks for this ROM. First few days I had it installed I got poor battery, but last night I used ROM toolbox to disable auto- starts and got amazing battery today. Stock kernel. Disabled usual suspects, Google+ and Facebook

Thanks mass.

Fredgar, I Dont have any AOKP screenshots cuz I recently accidentally wiped my internal storage, but if you look at the PAC OP, you'll see what I mean. The AOKP ones look much more high res.

Also, how'd you set that little grid of of icons on your lockscreen?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikshepard:
If you gotto Settings --> Root-Box Settings --> Weather Panel --> cLock, and check "Use color icons", to enable them. Now, whether (no pun intended) these are different or less fancy than the AOKP icons, I don't know. This ROM is supposed to be a "custom AOKP ROM". However, if you determine that they are different and people want me to swap them out for the next compile, that should be easily done. Let me know and I'll look into it.

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

Anybody using bluemint or hue themes with this? I used those on PAC, but when I try to use em on this ROM, my whole MMS/SMS UI goes all screwy. Black on black and stuff not aligned correctly.

I Dont have any custom values in MMS>settings>MMS theme

Anyone else?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikshepard:
Give up on you guys? haha, you saw I released an update just last week, right? C'mon now, I'm only one man, haha. I've been talking with Jamie and working on adding linaro toolchains, they are just beating me right now. I've had four compiles fail so far due to these toolchains not playing nice, but I'll get all the bugs worked out and have one up as soon as I can, man. Bear with me, I'm still new to some areas of this :)

The Messenger app is this ROM is different than the CM or PAC ROM. This one is based on AOKP, so it has it's own theming engine built in. You have to change your Messaging colors manually. If you into the Messaging app and click Menu --> Settings. You will see an option to change the theme settings at the top. Adjust your font color and anything else you need to match it up to your liking. Otherwise, if you wanna mess with the AOKP one, you could just flash a CM one over, here's a link that should work for that. Either way, let me know if you run into any problems

Cheers,

Mike

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

Thanks for the info, guys. I might give the theme settings a shot, but I doubt it'll fix the alignment issues. Nonetheless, at least now I know its not just me doing something wrong lol.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Re: [ROM] Unoffical Root-Box Nightly (JB 4.2.2)

Wow. I just started playing with the MMS theme settings. Really powerful stuff. And I didn't have an alignment issue like I thought, just the number of texts in a thread come after a persons name, that's why they were all in different spots. Got it looking sweet now, got it matching the bluemint theme.

Thanks for the help guys. I initially was reluctant to mess with the settings cuz I did on a ROM a while back, and got things so messed up I couldn't get back. I apparently didn't notice the menu button with "restore default settings" lol.

Now, to try to figure out PIE settings lol :o

This ROM absolutely rocks and is all I use anymore. Thanks mike. :thumbup:

Fred and Mike... first off... please let me take a minute to acknowledge how "Above and Beyond" your support really is! I mean, my God man... been here for a number of years on XDA here, but almost never have I seen the lengths that Fred went to to help me out. He responded to my thread, in length, then PMed me to make sure I was OK and if I needed any further support!! Truly Sir.. my hat off to you, please do NOT change :D!

And then Mike followed with his support AND agreeing to look at a Logcat that I have asked MANY experienced developer to look at, and haven't had much success... So first off, THANK YOU SO, SO MUCH guys!! My request to everyone here is to take a moment and hit the Thanks button for these two wonderful gentlemen :D!!

I think you pretty much addressed ALL of my questions. Looking forward to updates to fix the SSID name display bug fixed and the inclusion of the AOKP weather in the Notification Tray.

About the lockscreen, between DashClock to Lockscreen widgets, I am just not finding the PERFECT widget to properly do the notifications, AND not cause lag, AND not break my SMS Popup, and be somewhat customization in appearance. DashClock seems* to be the most accurate, BUT, it's very stale looking right now.

Can anyone confirm that you can only add ONE, SINGLE widget to one Lockscreen?

Another question I need some input on is... the 4.2 Camera app... is there a way to Zoom in and out in it?

Lastly, I did notice some of the usual bugs... Proximity sensor bombing out, random crashes on apps, the Contact widget pooping out with updates and contact names, every few hours...

Still... a wonderful ROM, but not sure if it's actually faster or lighter than 4.1.2... need your opinions... Thanks guys!

Fred and Mike... you guys are the BEST please keep it up :D!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fredgar75:
@profragger, For lockscreen widgets ya it kinda sucks you can only add 1 per page. I use apw widgets and dont experience any lag. The paid version is themeable and is only like $1.99 It has a bunch of widgets to choose from even the free version is great.

The 4.2 camera is pinch to zoom. Pretty nice feature.

I dont have any problems with the proximity sensor, you might have a bad dl, not sure. But i would try the cm proximity sensor fix. Just do a google search to find it. I also havent had any apps crashing other than the stock browser dropping dl's from time to time.

The lag is definitely there on this rom. Not so bad that its unusable and the linaro tweaks that are soon to be implemented will fix it Im sure.

Thank you for your kind words. Im not a dev by any means so I just try to help out in any way I can to support the devs. Hope this helps. And give apw widgets a try, you wont be sorry!

EDIT: Proximity sensor fix

Gallery2.apk is the stock one and GalleryGoogle.apk is the Nexus Photosphere one. Both are located in /system/app if you want to freeze one.

The Photosphere one will be called com.andoid.gallery3d in your Gallery or Camera options (note that "google" is not in the Photosphere name"), when it asks for you to choose one. Your photospheres will ONLY be available in the Gallery with this name. I'll add the Photosphere flashable zip to the OP too. I just can't remember where I got it, so I can't give proper credits, hopefully someone will identify the zip name and claim it or point me in the right direction.

For anyone interested, Bajee11 is the creator of our much loved ROM, Root-Box. This was posted on his Google+ account today:

There are many others who contribute to the ROM, so we'll see how this affects the updates and additions to Root-box. I usually check the github everyday to see what's happening and Bajee is constantly pushing commits and maintaining it. It's a shame we won't be having him working on this anymore but I can understand the demands life puts on us and sometimes things have to be put on the backburner for a bit. I for one thank him for all his hard work and look forward to his return.

Is anyone else having issues with GPS on this build? I've been on MeanBean since MikeyXDA started it, but since he went to the dark side (Samsung), he's not developing on it anymore. So far this RootBox has been a great ROM, but my GPS is very spotty. It just comes in and out constantly when I used Google Navigation or Waze. Thoughts?

Thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikshepard:
GPS has been solid for me, I get fast locks on GPS Test, down to 12 feet. I use Waze and it's been fine also. You could try flushing your AGPS data, using GPS Test for example, or others have reported occasional GPS problems on AOSP based ROM's being fixed by flashing to a Sense ROM and getting a GPS lock, then rebooting to recovery and re-flashing your AOSP ROM (or Root-Box in this case). I've never had to the do either of these, so I can't testify to their results, but I've seen many others in the forums report success. It may be worth a try if you're having problems.

Of course, check your MD5sum on this ROM and make sure you had a good download before doing anything :)

I don't know what's up with my phone. I've been running Jamie's Rootbox since the day after it came out, love it. Decided to update it with this, and I can't get this to work for me. Sure, it'll boot. I keep getting FC's, reboots, and twice when it rebooted it wouldn't come back up. And yes I did a full wipe. TWRP wiped all four and a superwipe just to be sure. Installed it three times wiping each time, same issues. I guess I should mention it was the 3/18 version, didn't try any others. Of course, I checked the MD5. I know that was the next thing you're going to think of :p. I don't see anyone else mentioning problems like this. GPS is my only issue with Jamie's, could never get it to work. Was hoping this would fix it.
