I also have reduced battery life on Rootbox, even with lowered voltages and lower max clock speed. I assume it's just the abundance of features causing some overhead. My normal work morning (get up, check emails, do a few Words with Friends turns, listen to Spotify in the car on the way to work) leaves me at around 85% on Rootbox, and I can't get through a whole day. With the CM build, the same routine leaves me at 95%+ and I'm at 25%+ when I go to bed. That's with stock voltages and clock speed.

I'd say Rootbox is awesome if you need/want all of the features. If you're looking for a slick AOSP ROM without the kitchen sink of features, there are better options for battery life.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] perrytheperson:
Has anyone had the "System UI has stopped working" error? Happened to me and then fixed itself after about 15 seconds.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Alpione:
I've had that when changing Themes and sometimes when changing my Lockscreen icons (not the application, but the icon itself). With Themes, the selected theme is still applied. With the Lockscreen icon, the proper icon is NOT applied.

I'll release as I see fit! you're more than welcome to flash the many other roms that are updated monthly or never at all!

Search before posting! Also, there's a Q&A thread provided!!!

Kitchen sink of features don't kill batteries ... Does a car with more features burn more gas than a car with less features? "I'm assuming leather seats vs cloth, power windows vs manual, sirus radio vs regular am/fm, fully loaded vs bottom line" People kill batteries... This is not CM! leave your cm comments out of a rootbox development thread please. This is not CM!

Read before flashing! Follow the OP recommended flashing instructions - clean install before posting . There is a Q&A Thread! yes there is a Q&A Thread
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Alpione:
He asked about the battery life of Rootbox. I answered him and provided a comparison. Without a point of reference, there would be no way to tell whether battery life is good or bad.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] MysteryEmotionz:
They do if the features added weight more? It's called power to weight ratio. It takes more gas to get a heavier car to move ;)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] houstonn:
Was not a prime example or best nevertheless Lol. Im sure we all caught the drift. And yeah power to weigh is huge. Throw out them seats heh.

Thank you Joe! There's absolutely no reason we can't have fun or post fun things but let's just keep the general Q's out since either they are easily searched or asked in the Q&A. thanks!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] houstonn:
I think that there's a beta release or the paid version of Trickster Mod that the developer has included the new Simple GPU governor settings.. It's actually nice since the LGOG is officially supported by Trickster.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] NickS_:
This is probably unrelated but I figured I'd post it. A few days ago while running this ROM & the included kernel, I pulled the phone out of my pocket and noticed the notification LED was flashing so I went to unlock it.

Nothing. Screen didn't come on. Held power button down and rebooted - all it did was flash the LG logo and go to a blank screen. Couldn't get into recovery mode at all. It just stayed at the blank screen. Got home, put it into download mode & the computer kept giving me "USB Device Not Recognized." Eventually, I gave up at that point and swapped to a different phone. The phone had fully discharged (because if you turned it off, it came right back on, flashed the LG logo and went to the blank screen). I plugged it into my wall charger aaaaaaaand.... nothing happened. Wouldn't even charge.

Long story short, I'm not blaming the ROM or Kernel in the least bit and I plan on re-flashing my replacement device, but I'm curious as to how this could have happened? Maybe the undervoltage affected the CPU physically? I'm not sure. Anyone else care to chime in? Dev?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] zas0006:
I had the exact same thing happen 2 weeks ago when I was on a rooted stock rom. I had to take it in to art and get a replacement. They stated it was a 'known issue' and the phone was indeed bricked.

I ran in to it once before that and was able to get it to charge in recovery mode. So there seems to be some variance in what happens, but I would rest assured that is has nothing specifically to do with this ROM or kernel.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] dandrumheller:
Heh heh....that music toggle plays nice with PowerAmp!! Sweetness! I think you need to subtitle your ROM CrackBox [MENTION=4852479]houstonn[/MENTION] - flashing it is damn addictive. :laugh:
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DraginMagik:
For the love of Christ people, just cause houstonn releases an update doesn't mean you have to flash it. Official CM releases nightly updates as well. Deal with it.

Believe it or not no one is forcing you to flash. Read the change notes and then decide if you want/need to update. Stop telling the developer how/when to do his work.

All that is needed from us is functional feedback and appreciation...
[AT&T LG Optimus G] twistedsixty4:
I agree..

I generally only flash when there the changelog adds something I've been wanting or I get to many reboots. Right now I'm running build 18b and I don't see much of a need to update. You need to start asking if the update is something you want, cause you don't need it.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] MysteryEmotionz:
Crying about the people crying about the updates aunt any better. It's been addressed

[AT&T LG Optimus G] Abu Nazir:
Should my signal keep changing constantly from H to 4G? Also I do not live in a LTE area but I work everyday in a LTE area. How can I tell if I'm getting Lte? I've flashed the jb modem with clean install and I can remember back I would get Lte but now I don't think I am. Not sure if this would be rom related and I apologize if its not. Anyone else have this issue? Thanks

Also I seem to be racking up data from att that they are charging me for and it can't b accurate. There's no way. They had me as using almost 20gig last couple weeks. Impossible. They took it off BTW. Just trying to figure out what I've done wrong here. Any suggestions would be so appreciated. Thanks again.

Never mind. I looked it up. My bad. Thank u for yur help
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Drewman294:
Would it be possible to add messaging as a short action option for the lockscreen that has like the number notification of how many texts one has? Or even an option to enable text or email notifications to show up on the lockscreen under the time or designated area?

[AT&T LG Optimus G] danial.aw:
rom control has the option to enable the amount of notification count...

to show notifications on the lockscreen you can try out nils lockscreen widget... itll show u w.e notifications you want on the lockscreen
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Drewman294:
You're talking about the notification count for the status bar right?

And yeah, I used to use that. But then it started to show double notifications and stuff. Seemed a little bit too buggy. Still loved all of its features though.

I don't use expanded desktop, but I have found that enabling 180° rotation in ROM Control/General UI then rebooting keeps my Flipboard app from going into landscape. On CFX it was opposite, enabling it caused the bug. If anyone wants to look into it that may be a good place to start.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] PATRICKismyHERO:
Is there a way to make the status and navigation bar stay black on the home screen rather than having the transparency forced on us?

Tried many other roms, this one is definitely my favorite.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] dandrumheller:
I haven't done this, so take that for what it's worth, but there's a note in the global color controls in hybrid settings that says to use per-app color settings for your launcher to do this. I took a look into the settings, and it appears that it should work. I like my current setup though, so I didn't mess with it.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] MysteryEmotionz:
Set the transparency to 100% in ROM control.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] bleached45:
From the Q&A Thread (similar posts are also posted in here)

I can also confirm this (on the 4/10 & 4/13 ROM, included kernel).

I am really loving that this has Emoji and a quick response popup (fell in love with the popup from stock)...

But, I can't find an option for a new line on enter, just emoticon button or send on enter, there are only 2 options in the MMS app.

I even tried an mms.apk from another RootBox for another phone, similar options there (no new line on enter).

I know it is minor for most (I use line breaks a lot in my style of texts, so I noticed it) but I just wanted to point it out.

Maybe at least edit the OP feature list for now so it doesn't mislead people/you don't get more posts about it.

Or you could look into it if it seems easy to fix. :laugh:

Thanks.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] C2fifield:
I know it's still inconvenient, but shift + enter usually makes a new line in most apps.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] bleached45:
Thanks, with the shift key pressed the emote key does change into the enter key, but enter still just sends the message, no line break for mms.

But I never noticed that before, thanks.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Joecascio2000:
Try the soft keyboard type setting in the Messaging Menu.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] sport93:
Rom is great but the battery went out after 3 hours cant go more than 3 hours
[AT&T LG Optimus G] bleached45:
I have been, from what I understand, there should be 3 options (Emoji, Enter to Send, Enter for a New Line).

I only have 2 (Show the emoticons key, Show the enter key).

The enter key sends the text.

I have checked the mms settings, kii keyboard settings, and rootbox settings, none seem to be able to change the send key's behavior.

Thank you for the suggestion though. :(

On a side note, can anybody else not set colors in paranoid settings in the 4/13 version? I can open the settings but if I tap PA Colors or go to apps it force closes.

Once in a while I can change a color once, but if I go back to the settings they crash. I have tried wiping data for the PA settings, tried fixing permissions, even reinstalled the ROM .zip and cleared cache/dalvik. It is still happening to me. Was not having this issue on the 4/10 build.

Is it just me?

(If anybody feels nice enough to try it, please try it 2 or 3 times, the first time I opened it it didn't give me issues, it was times 2~7... then it worked once, changed a color, checked the app, came back to fine tune, it crashed again).

Lastly, others have posted that the battery drains pretty quick. I think this is because the ROM (or kernel) prefers the frequency 1026MHz (when 384MHz should be the lowest). When you change the min frequency in the performance settings, they don't stick and don't seem to be set on boot. The phone WILL go down to 384, I've seen it there, but looking at the state times... it spends a large portion of the screen on time at 1026.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
Yeah I've been unable to get minimum CPU freq to stay below 1026 mhz when using the performance control. However, I bought faux control and used that to set it. It works fine and I'm getting 4.5 hours of screen time per charge, and it's always connected to wifi or lte, with autobrightness. In faux control, set minimum to 192 or 384 with Wheatley governor and uncheck "Mpdecision."

[AT&T LG Optimus G] OMGMatrix:
This was happening to me too, on the 04/10 build. Smooth as hell, but took my battery down in no time.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] tnayrbj:
Nice

Ok i have the ROM loaded yesterday and forgot to plug in last night ad still have a lot of battery left about 90%. Love this ROM, no I did not do the kernel flash, just the ROM itself with full Google apps. No tweaks at all and it runs Buttery and holds a good charge.

I post this for people that don't do all the mods and want to know how the battery is on this ROM. There is enough information on the tweaks, and sometimes that makes people think that the ROM does not have good Battery life. :)

It is smooth and I have found nothing wrong yet. It is a great daily driver and I will be staying with it.

Thanks you so much, you are the MAN. Glad to see you in our Forum :)
