[Q] RootBox Information help - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi yesterday i've flashed RootBox v3.5 stable(not nightly).
So far i'm very impressed with the smoothness of RB, aswell as deep sleep ratio with stock kernel.
If possible i would like to have some information about this rom, that i havent found using search in rootbox thread.
How do i display only my SIM contacts ? ( i was able to import them from SIM card to phone, but i would like to have the option to only view the contacts from my SIM card)
How do i insert a new contact only to my SIM ? ( after importing SIM card contacts, if i try to add a new one, it will go directly to my google account, but i only want to add a new contact to SIM card, i've tried clicking in everything but can't find the option to insert only in SIM card)
How do i change the Keyboard style from texting ? (I've noticed there is only one keyboard layout, any zip or something that i'm able to flash to get numeric keyboard)
Any way to change the SMS layout bubbles ? (i've only found mms, i would like to have bubble speech baloons with different color for sender/receiver )
Where can i set a sms or call sound file from my mp3 ? ( i've search for it, but i can't find any option to select a mp3 sound from my phone)
When i insert my 3.5mm headphone jack, there isnt any notification of it in status bar, and when i go to Settings - RootBox Settings - HeadSet and active it, it gives me FC on DSP Manager.
So far this is the only problems i've got, where the real "bug" was the last one.
Appreciate all your help.
Best Regards

U can't only show the SIM contacts.
Only thing u can do is import or export the contacts from or to zip.
That's not possible with stock keyboard. U have to use a third-part keyboard here like 'Go keyboard' or 'SwiftKey' [look at playstore]
This one's have&manage Designs.
MMS is in this point the app. So u write the SMS via the MMS.apk.
So this means u can go to the Message app > settings > mms theme...
Here u can set bubble style in massagelist or kind of this
Tey to coy the mp3's to System > media > audio...
For sms sound: notification
For call sound: ringtone
Not this should appear in settings of phone (ringtone) or the message app (sms).
If this won't work, u have to convert the mp3 to Ogg first.
Why u want a notification?
The is no notification - so if it works, all is fine.
Because FCs in DPS, just ignore this and wait for newer version in this case.

how to change notification sound

Greetings,
I searched but did not find any answer to how to change notification sound.
If there is a way i will appreciate it sharing it with me.
Thanks

Settings -> Sound & display settings -> Notification ringtone.
If you want to add your own notifications and ringtones, create a "Ringtones" and "Notifications" folders on the SD card and put sound files in there.

The Skype notification sound is built into the skype app itself. The only way to change it is to decompile the skype apk using apktool, swap the sound files around, repackage it, sign it and push it back to your phone. Its quite complecated if you don't know what you are doing.

Thank you very much this method work perfect for changing the notifications tones

Notification Sound

Where can I configure sounds to be different for email vs sms/txt messages?
When you open email and go to settings you will be able to set whatever tone you want and the same applies to sms (again go into settings)
Thanks. What do you guys use as notification noises?
Use anything you want. Google "Zedge" they have hundreds on there and you'll be spoilt for choice, and its free.

Remove Samsung apps from ICS

Hi, I believe I read that with ICS, Google made it possible to remove carrier and phone producer apps. I have been through the settings but can't seem to find where to do so. Can someone help me?
Also, how do you remove eg. the contacts or messages icon? Before the update it was no problem to replace the custom SMS icon with another app, but it seems impossible now.

go to PLAYMARKET and get ICONCHANGER (RootUser) and you can download icons from the APPandTHEMES or you can create them on pgn format ! its so f. easy
I think you misunderstand, I want to replace the stock SMS app shortcut with a shortcut to the Go SMS app. But thanks anyway

Edit: I found out, I remembered it incorrectly and it's just going to apps, edit -> drag icon down to the touchwiz bar.

[Q] Android stock sms apk - group sms

Hi,
im using cm10.1 at huawei g300 and im missing some feature in stock sms app - maybe it's strange, but i really like it, it's simple and has almost all features which i need. Almost. I have problem with sending sms to a group, i have to write concacts separately, and there is no other way to do this. Below is screen from other (also stock?) sms apk (the dark one) and there is a "people" button, after click u can choose from your contacts more than one person.
In my phone it look's like at attached screenshoot - im missing button in place which is marked with red almost-circle. So is it possible to get that "people" button? Something in settings or maybe modded app? I couldn't find anything. And the reason why i don't have that button atm - it's because of CM rom or just google has removed it or...?
Thanks in advance for answers ("Install Go-sms/chomp/handcent." is not the answer - i know that way:>)
Sorry for my english
And sorry, if wrong section.

SlimBean aroma gapps and other questions

I'm new to phone modding, so please be forgiving.
I just flashed Slim-i9100-4.3.build.2-OFFICIAL-1334 and I want to be able to use Google Play etc., so I downloaded Slim_aroma_selectable_gapps.4.3.build.2 and I want to make sure everything goes smoothly.
So, should I just go to recovery and flash the zip? That's it? Should I wipe both caches beforehand?
More questions:
- can I somehow change the view in Gallery to list (with small thumbs maybe)? The only two options are grid and filmstrip and they both suck for browsing movie clips.
- how can I add mobile data on/off shortcut to the notification drawer? I know I can modify the quick settings section, but that just adds an unneccesary step. Vanilla Android has that!
- can I make the font in the status bar slightly bigger? It's too tiny.

You should of flashed gapps straight after flashing the rom. It should be ok to just flash gapps tho.
There might be a gallery on the play store for that but not sure.
Im dont use Slim but its base is cyanogenmod. You should have a toggle there with your network name? If so that is your data toggle.

yes flash gapps from recovery, always wipe cache and dalvik before is best practice. Data on/off on notification, that should be there in slim (if I remember rightly) You could check out widgetsoid to put toggle on home screen, I find this quite useful for seeing at a glance what is going on and abilty to change immediately as needed. You may also want to check out Tasker (paid app) I wouldn't be without it, then you can easily automate data on/off for what ever you like - example: screen off/data off - screen on/data on, browser on/off/data on/off etc.
Yes, you can make status bar bigger from within slim settings - change dpi to 240 (which will restore your phone to original screen size), if you wanted to get more technical you could use xposed settings with per app settings module, this works a dream for me, then you can set ui to 240 for example and other apps as you like them.
Also - quick pic may be a suitable solution for your gallery issue, I find this a good app.
Hope this helps
Happy modding!
Thanks for the replies. I have another problem and I don't want to make another thread, so here goes (it's a bit complicated, so bear with me):
I flashed the aroma gapps ROM and the installation process went fine, BUT it somehow corrupted my presonal/contact data. I would get "Unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped." and "Unfortunately, dialer has stopped." errors. Maybe because I didn't wipe cache/dalvik?
Anyway, I read somewhere that to fix that you should disable and clear cache/date of:
- DRM Protected Content Storage
- Media Storage
- Dialer
- Contacts
- Contacts Storage
Which is what I did, but I think I did one too many things. The errors are gone, the contacts list is fine, I can send SMS and call no problem.
But now when I connect the phone to my PC, I can't see any folders in Windows Explorer! I can see the GT-I9100 icon in My Computer, I can see "Internal Storage" and "SD Card" on it, just not any contents. 0 folders, no hidden ones either.
Also I can't see any ringtones in the Settings->Sound->Phone ringtone menu, same goes for Notification sound. It only lists "none" as an available tone. Yeah.
HI, Today i have successfully installed slim-4.3 build 2.1 unofficial on my HTC HD2, after successfully installing SlimBean aroma gapps build 2 through recovery, there was no gapps package application in my launcher , what will be the problem ?
Slimbean 4.2.2, contacts and dialer apk of stock 4.1.2
Is there any way to have the contacts and dialer apks of Stock 4.1.2 can be installed/flashed in slimbean 4.2.2.
would be nice if there's a prompt reply.
