Hello everyone!

Here is my nightly build of RootBox!
It's a custom AOKP/AOSPA/CM rom with lots and lots of options and customizable features.

1. Flash ROM
2. Flash Gapps
3. Factory Reset if coming from another rom.
4. Reboot.

Enjoy!

Hello, trying it now.

Does it include the samsung apps ? And especially the stylus software , I'd go with CM but it won't include the stylus apps and text recognition and it's no point buying a 7105 if it's not using the stylus, might as well keep an SG3 for that...

thanks

I gave this ROM a try, it was extremely smooth but i hit a snag with some of the colours (calendar, email) and my limited skillset could find no answer to change them to useable colour choices. I had to move off, but if there is a way to change this i will get back onto this ROM it seemed extremely good (and i have used many of the current 4.1.2 and 4.2 ROMS!).
Nice work on it.

Really nice rom! Lots of customizable features. Only one thing that is annoying me; Music Player ! Where is it? If we don't get Apollo, what is the recommended music player similar to Samsung's stock Music Player? This is the only reason why i stick to TW.

Or if someone knows a good music player on market that is worth purchasing i will get it, I really need a music player where you have EQ and it you can hear bass!

Anyway keep up the good work!

Does anyone know how to turn off the menu bar on the bottom? I tried in the rootbox settings -enabling and disabling the bar has not effect. Also when I add different shortcuts, the bar just resets itself.

There is a setting in the navigation bar setting to hide it so you can swipe it up when you need it. Sorry I cant talk you through the exact steps as I uninstalled. Just a few annoyances I cant live with that comes with TW.

Other than that the issues like the stock video player and motion features not been availabke which I kove its a great rom with so many other features.

Just flashed 2 April 2013 version and while trying out, Goo Manager prompted me of a new update, 4 April 2013. Downloaded it and finished flashing. Before flashing the rom, I upgraded to TWRP 2.4.0.4. Proceeding to use TB to restore my apps, after installing TB from Play store. :good:

Edit:
Facing issue with Chameleon Launcher 2 when adding it's widget. Had tried uninstalling, reboot and reinstalling.

Might try to reflash later or tomorrow.

Edit 2:
Tried refresh and still have problem with Chameleon Launcher 2.
Decided to try flashing 2 April version and Chameleon Launcher 2 was working fine. I added 4 built in widgets and no crashing of Chameleon Launcher 2. I'm restoring my apps using TB now. Hopefully, everything will continue to be fine after everything is settled. Thanks.

2 April version seems to work fine for me. Btw, is your rom the same as the roms here http://goo.im/devs/RootBox/Nightlies/t0ltehttp://http://goo.im/devs/RootBox/Nightlies/t0lte I don't see 2 April there, and I got it from link in OP.

Thanks for this rom, it's even better than the official AOKP version as I like to have customizations.

Edit 3:
Using the built-in Calendar app to create exchange accounts and yahoo account, the emails is very difficult to read. Background is black or dark, and fonts are dark gray or blue. Now I can understand why @jtsin67 gave up on this rom. Not sure if this is the same for 4 April version as I did not get that far due to the Chameleon launcher issue.

If you turn off dark rootbox in settings it is more acceptable colours. but i had no end of issue with gmail intermittently closing when opening emails. Tried 4.2 and 4.3 gmail but no luck, and then the main browser started doing the same closing down. From a complete system wipe, fresh install etc and latest gapps still no luck on this.
Maybe next release has some fixes but i couldn't get it working to a level (but I will check back as it is a very smooth rom with loads of features).

I've gone to the stable version 3.91 which is without PA integration. Built-in email doesn't have colour issue. Chameleon Launcher 2 is working fine too.

Hopefully OP will continue to work on the nightly ROM to become stable. Thanks.

Found a 04-03 version, flashed it, and here's my feedback.

1. Chameleon Launcher works
2. Email and calendar has the same problem as 04-04 where background and text are in dark colors. I deleted the apks for calendar and email (4 of them) and copied from another PA ROM the same apks, problem solved.
3. With the PA interface, I could set the WiFi and signal bars to another color, great.
4. In landscape, navigation bar is squeezed to the centre and vertical. See screen shot attached.

Stable version 3.91 is great but doesn't have PA cooked in, sadly. :(
