[ROM][Skate] RootBox - CM/AOKP/PA mix - Android 4.2.2 (20/03/2013)

[Guest C3C0]

... or "Yet-another-CM/AOKP/PA-mix" 4.2.2 ROM which I find quite interesting and fast.

Detailed info can be found in the original thread @ XDA: http://forum.xda-dev...d.php?t=1806401

Unfortunatelly, I had to remove the Xposed framework that takes care of per-app UI layout since it's not compatible with our CPU.

Other than that, everything seems to be working fine.

Pie, as you know it from PA, has also some further additions. E.g. it shows complete (with clock and notifications) even if expanded

desktop is not enabled (when status bar is visible).

Screenshots

This is a rom suitable for advanced users only not whining about all the well known problems

or missing features.

Known issues

- no Camera flash

- bluetooth temperamental

- no Voice input (because of armv6)

- no thumbnails for recorded videos

- launcher home screen not showing at first boot - press home button to fix

When reporting, please:

1) provide as much detailed info as you can: e.g. what performance settings you use, method of increasing internal memory, ...

2) provide steps to reproduce the issue (if reproduceable)

3) attach a logcat containing info related to the particular incident (use aLogcat from play store)

Since I am not an Oracle I will ignore all bug reports that lack this information :)

[Guest zukenp]

I installed this one ,and so far its better than last one 4.2.2. rom.Nice work again

[Guest sasa_gm]

What about scrolling through lockscrens? Is it slow and laggy?

[Guest zukenp]

Very fast,in my opinion is much faster than paranoid 4.2.2(16.2) .It has so much settings ,transparent status bar(see one of picture)..For now is excellent!

[Guest Omar korom]

Great work ! you're the best C3C0

[Guest WiiSky70]

Device Tree source link is DEAD.

[Guest C3C0]

Lock screen is smooth thanks to this: https://github.com/ParanoidZTE/android_frameworks_base/commit/c331d4435a8b1dda0bf6535e74df10b1901a0080

I have this patched in Pj2, too but it hasn't been released yet.

[Guest ortega16]

Good job C3C0, Forum'm HTCMania and I think a fully customizable rom also like to know which scripts which carries or hasnt to attempt to improve the great rom that you have create.

Thanks for your work and sorry for my English half translated.

[Guest WiiSky70]

Tried it . MAN this ROM has the best features inside a box and it's super faster.

Also there's a bug when you open Message application , the status bar goes white and then stays black.

[Guest C3C0]

It happens in all white and bright apps. Related to status bar transparency which I was not able to turn off so far... Option for setting transparency level somehow doesn't work for me...

[Guest sasa_gm]

where are the launcher settings?

[Guest C3C0]

Stock launcher (aosp) has no settings.

[Guest WiiSky70]

BTW i consider this ROM for first release , stable for daily usage. Some bugs , but that's normal for a 1st release ;)
