RootBox Support thread

RootBox Support Thread​
This thread is for the support of RootBox users. I am not affiliated with Bajee in any way. I am just doing this to prevent any further conflicts between our amazing developer and the people have questions and need support for RootBox. I will do my best to answer any questions, but I do not know all the answers.
Please be helpful to others and only constructive criticism. EVERYONE started somewhere, just because they have a question does not give you the right to insult or criticize anyone. Everyone makes mistakes and everyone has those days.
Thank you for your cooperation

I have a question and my question is: why not lock all the dev threads afterall, and simply have one post in them where devs just upload link of their rom this way, you and those that think dev threads cannot be used to ask questions, become a happy family?

I believe that Dev threads can be used to question, I just know that Bajee perfers a support thread and a Development thread. All I'm trying to do is make his life easy as he works extremly hard on our Rom.

This is great! It's better this way. We can report bugs here instead of discussing there. Just make sure bajee checks this thread!

There's a video tutorial on the root box site. Follow that. Just remember to use 250 dpi instead of 300

Personally I have no longer been having an issue with cLock not showing on my lock-screen. They appear to have updated it and I no longer have problems with it showing. Also in the newest source it was updated again so you may not have problems then.
Could try doing a full wipe and installing the latest nightly or wait for the next one.
Ps I compile my own rootbox so when I talk about the new update it should be in Bajees next nightly or release

Just to make clear i know how to change dpi and stuff. I simply do not know which apk i select to change the dpi? Logic tells me i should fins lockscreen and changw dpi but when i go to xposed app i do not see a lockscreen apk to change dpi like for example i see a facebook.apk or some other apk

Within the app you need to enable the annoying persistent notification so it doesnt get killed.

You need to change the DPI on the cLock app. Bajee posted a video on the main thread or the root box website

Lockscreen is not an apk. It's not possible to specifically change your lockscreen dpi in this rom.

this rom looks so awesome, looks the best one (all the best roms in one) !
what about :
1. battery
2. performance
3. sweetness
4. translations
5. colours
6. suggestions/requests
7. what is worse than PA ?
?
thanks, i'm looking for the most customisable rom

Can I specify the lockscreen to stay on portrait view?
Hi all.
I have been using this ROM for about 3 weeks now, and I love every single thing about it
Thanks bajee11 to have developed such a great ROM
I run it with Faux123 kernel and it runs smoothly.
One thing I have to ask in this thread and hopefully get a reply is this
Is it possible to keep my lockscreen on a portrait view when I enabled auto rotate?
Or is there any way to make my LINE(chat) to be auto rotate when the screen orientation locked?
I enabled the "Normal Rotation" on Youtube and works fine, but with LINE it can't be done and I am eager to do the same with my LINE.
Hopefully someone will have an answer to this. thanks very much.
Regards, Evan Hendra

In the new nightly the option to have the screen shot in one of the nav keys is gone, (or I'm overlooking it)..... anyway I can add it back in myself? Thanks.
@Bajee.... will there be an option for it again in the future? I know it's in 3.8 but just wondering if it's going to be taken out all together in the next stable release.

Is the CRT Screen ON now working ?

Bootloop with faux kernel
Anyone using faux kernel here? I must be doing something wrong because I can't get the phone to boot when I flash the kernel. (I'm using TWRP if that makes any difference).

Now that I have root access, what can I do to make this phone faster?

As we all know on paper this phone is a beast but in real life not so much. Now that I had this phone for a week I can definitely say that my Galaxy S3 running AOKP 4.3 ROM was faster than this phone (no joke).
I mean the only thing that really bothers me a lot with this phone (and I don’t know if its touchwiz related) is lock screen lag. Sometimes when I’m locking or unlocking the phone it takes a good second or two to “wake up” or “go to sleep”
Do any of you guys notice the same problem? If so is the any way to fix this now that we have root access?
I’m also looking for any other tips and tricks to make this phone a little faster
Thanks in advance

Zero animations will help a little but it won't work miracles. You are used to an aosp-style rom, and Touchwiz simply is not that. Once we get Safestrap, devs will get debloated TW roms for this beast. Until then, you just have to deal with TW lag & bloat

Try to freeze/remove the "S Voice" application that maps itself to ---> double tap Home key.
By removing it, it removes the double tap mapping which greatly helped with home button wake lag on my Note 2
Next most common thing to help you is to use an app such as Android Tuner to edit the stock kernel CPU clocks. In deep sleep(=screen off), you can raise the mhz of the CPU so it takes less time to wake up. Not sure if you can do this on stock kernel/locked bootloader just yet and this will eat more battery in general if your phone is in deep sleep often

Charging as I type

I just got it it's charging at the moment any hints or tips for this tablet? Or any settings recommendations?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using xda app-developers app

Jus run through the settings one by one and deselect anything that sounds like it might waste battery. Qslide, knock on, all nice touches but both waste that extra bit of juice and I can do without.
Enjoy

Ok thanks also what screen brightness do you have yours on?

Dude, why are you asking us? How can we know what brightness do you like? Which settings do you need? Just explore and try everything yourself.

A he never asked that. He asked what brightness do YOU have it on. You do know people do this all the time. Just look into monitors at Hard forums. People love to know all the settings people use. People will say they get the best battery life with.. and then post.

Ok so I have it set up using nova Launcher just like on my note 3 I'm loving the tablet so far only this that's annoying me is the bar with the touch buttons at the end, as in when I'm using apps I don't get the full screen I guess it's something I will just have to get used to.

or just root and use one of the many apps. If you install the G2 xposed framwork you can make it really small. or if you install UDN Lite you can select auto hide

Do I have to root to use one of those apps?
