2. Can i put some shortcuts to unlocking circle?
3. How can i remove google search bar on stock launcher?
4. Can i add some more shortucts to switches menu in notification bar?
5. Can i change color on softbuttons?
If i remember something more, i will write it here

Hi,
1) Light Manager works perfectly, I use it.
2) Custom rom.
3) Not possible if I remember right, need to use an alternative launcher like Nova / Apex or a moded stock launcher.
4) Custom rom or maybe with an existing mod (I doubt)?
5) Custom rom or take a look here but here the colors are limited.
Mainly what you are asking is in almost all the custom roms...

Thanks a lot for response!

Check out dash clock widget. If that's not what you're looking for and want full size widgets then try a custom ROM.

Many custom ROMs have a feature that allows you to put any widget on the lockscreen.
It looks like you need to start flashing!

Ahhh.. I wanted to use stock for few weeks.. Ive heard that there is one kernel that is working best with stock rom and makes battery life much more better.
P.s. can i recieve ota if i am rooted?
P.p.s. does build number affect ota updates (like on galaxy nexus)?

Button dock transparent?

Hello guys. I just wanna ask. Can I somehow make my bottom button dock transparent? Without the black background. It is rooted, but I don't wanna flash custom ROM. I like the original one. It just needs few tweaks. Thanks for help.

If you're willing to use a custom launcher apex, nova, Apollo, adw, and I'm sure many other will allow you to change this.

Is there another name for this bar? Have tried several launchers, adw, nova etc and have yet to find an option to make this transparent. Be nice to reclaim that space.
Oh I was think you were referring to the dock, where the icons are. If you're talking about the three soft buttons, back, home, recent, then I'm not sure, never looked into it.
Chances are there is a way, but may need a custom rom

Do you mean the navbar? You can make it transparent in the Paranoid Android ROM, not in stock. (Maybe with metamorph...)

I'd like to know, also. Is there some patch I can flash to make this happen?

Pull down notification bar in every situation

Hey there,
I'm used to pull down the notification bar from any possible app (even games) on the sgs3.
I noticed it isn't possible on the nexus... Is there any mod or something for that? :/
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
its sdk functionality. if an app requests the statusbar should be hidden the framework has to do that in order to not get in the way of gestures and swipes on which the app relies. if touchwizz ignores that it would be a pretty evil abuse, something that should get them in legal trouble. i dont think it would be hard to realize but i know of no mod or rom who's got that.
Oh I see thank you very much for the explanation.
I got pretty used to it as it was really convenient checking my notification bar without minimizing my current app. (Change music, brightness , GPS etc....)
Oh well will have to get used to it then.
Thanks for the reply again

Miui allows this. I expect we'll get a miui rom eventually.
For the time being you could use this app:

I use it and it works great

[Q] Expand lock screen widgets

Hi All,
I finally made the jump and bought a Nexus 7 even tho we will most likely see a newer version in May. However it is still freakin awesome! I am running CM 10.1 nightly's but cannot expand the lock screen widgets. Is this possible? I love that new Dashclock widget for the lock screen but it will only show me two of my selected options before it cuts off because I am unable to expand the widget.
I use it on the Note 2 (also running CM10.1) and it works great. Anyone know something that I may have missed?
Thanks in advance
-Chris
I actually forgot how it's done. I remember I did it once on 4.2 but never again could I expand the widgets to maximum size again on 4.2.1 and 4.2.2
Hi there,
Have you tried Apex Launcher?
I dunno for sure, but maybe, and just maybe you can re-size and customize the lock screen widgets.
Hope this helps

I did! That's what I thought but looks like it's built into CM 10.1. but not in the grouper builds i guess.
Swipe down on the widget. From the clock

It doesn't behave the same way my Note 2 build does.Only thing I can do is delete or add widget. no re-sizing (that I can see or get to work) .
It really is strange then. Maybe if you pm your Rom dev for some q & a.

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).

Changing icon size all depends on which launcher you use.
I know that Next Launcher has the option to change icon sizes, and disabling text and
there are some other launchers which can do that too.
Same thing holds true for removing icon names on home screen as well as in app drawer.
Next Launcher has that feature too, some other launchers also have it as well.
These two things you are asking about has to do with which launcher you use
and has nothing to do with which custom rom you are using.
Check out the playstore, there are a lot of launchers there to choose from.
Best thing to do is while you are at the play store, install 5-6 of them and
that way you can check them all out for options and features and just keep
the one which is best suited for you.
Good luck!
