They aren't quite ready yet. The different colored themes other than the stock green and the 6.1 update don't play well together without a few changes.

As eSPyeL stated before, the 6.1 update basically just changes the settings and extended power menu settings back to froyo stock colors and gets rid of the black and white look (which I like btw :( ). If you have a theme installed and then apply the 6.1 update, it will revert it back to Paragon stock green look except for the boot animation. If you then flash any of the current themes in the OP, it will overwrite the extended power settings colors back to the black and white look but the settings menu will be the stock froyo colored look.

eSPyeL had PM'd me to see if I would update the themes to be like 6.1 and I replied back to see if he just wants to implement the 6.1 update as an option for the themes for the people like me that like the black and white look. In other words, each theme would have 2 versions, a black and white menu look like RC6 and a colored menu look like stock froyo. Best of both worlds.. :)

Just wanted to give a big thanks to eSPeyL for this great ROM, and especially the kernel. Only one so far that will allow me to OC to 1.3GHZ stable.

Anyone else experiencing market problems? Not blaming rom, just want to see if it is system wide or just me
[Captivate Android Development] davwman:
not here. The only problem I have is deciding to keep paragon or switch to cm7 when the time comes.:D

Wait for eSPyeL to dish out some ginger awesomeness of his own from it :-)

Did you install Rom Manager? I have had the same problem with Cezar's ROM. It is the 3e recovery part of CWM that ROM Manager installs. If you have updated ROM Manager, look here for the fix. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=833423

I'm loving the ROM. I'm not loving the kernel. I was chewing through incredible amounts of battery. My overnight flight mode test gave me about 80 hours of standby time, vs. 140-150 hours on Glitterballs or Speedmod. I was planning on doing more tests this evening, but as the phone was down to 27% by noon today, after a full charge this morning (yes - I was doing a lot of stuff), I didn't think I wanted to wait. I actually just turned the display on to get phone numbers from my contacts to dial, and I could almost watch the battery go down. 37%...33%...27%... all in the space of 30 minutes, just from having contacts open and the display occasionally on. So I flashed Suckerpunch #51.

Huge difference so far. Turned the phone display on, left the wifi on (accidentally) and watched the battery drain... 6% per hour, with the display and wifi on! And I haven't adjusted the clocking or voltage off the default yet.

Obviously, with these Captivates, YMMV. But for me, Paragon over Suckerpunch (with the JK4) looks like a pretty sweet spot.

Another thing, may be a little late, if a new version is due soon. I modified the default red framework to have red wifi strength symbols - the white just seemed to clash. Red seemed more in theme. That's the wifi_only file below. I also converted to the circle battery (D style) images - they just feel more substantial. They look like the image at the bottom. Credit for the circle battery images go to Fightspit (I think...).

My first submissions... Use them if you want, and at your own risk. I was unhappy with the results of adb installing them. I don't know how to create a cwm version. Feel free if you know how. Remember: Red theme only!
[Captivate Android Development] chuby007:
hi!

Guys anyone can tell me where to get the root file manager I can't seem to get it anywhere, and I think I'm up to something regarding the gps but without the darn root file manager I can't test it, anything is appreciated ! ( specially an apk ):D
[Captivate Android Development] TechNut*:
The "Root Explorer" can be found on the market - if that is what you are looking for?

Even if not, its a great tool to have! :) Hope this helps.
[Captivate Android Development] pj1000:
Thanks. I'll give it a try but it seems odd that anything could survive 2 full wipes and 2 trips back to native captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] chuby007:
Thank you I'm actually not in the US, so I had to use the market enabler and then I could see it and get it.. I did my testing and posted some of the results on the poste above, it was real fast but I had already did check with other ntp servers northamerica vrs europe, so I changed it to one NTP that is close to where I live :D
[Captivate Android Development] TechNut*:
Glad you were able to get it - happy testing. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] RichMD:
Thanks for this post

Thanks, I've been close to "obsessed" with testing GPS on my phone. My wife would say there's no "close" about it...

Anyway, I knew the basics of how it worked but I didn't know what supl.google.com did, etc. What you said makes sense and I will test without satellite imagery (which I always use). Also, I have seen people say that other mapping software worked much better which didn't make a lot of sense to me. However, if that mapping software has the maps loaded already then there won't be the lag you mention. I assume that is simply bandwidth contention so it takes a little longer for the NTP negotiation (requests and responses).

On another note, I've seen that the "real" answer is to fix the GPS antenna contact in our phone which due to a poor design doesn't make great contact. In reality it is probably some of both.:rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] SmithEC:
Your whole post is interesting. I just hate to fully quote the longer posts.

That is interesting. Having read your post, I elected to download an app called ClockSync. When I first fired it up, It showed that my system time was off by almost 2 full seconds (1.9??). Sychronized, waited a couple of minutes, fired it up and was again off by 1.3 seconds. Right now it seems to be doing pretty good.

I'm going to play with that app and get it all figured out. It looks like there might be some pretty aggressive sync options available. If there are, I'm sure they'd chew the battery up pretty quickly, but it could be fun to experiment with for a while. Looks like a useful, fun app, actually. I might even try using the Mexico pool one day this week (I'm pretty far down into Texas).

What you probably didn't know is that when you put Paragon RC6.0 on a handset like this and you use a ClockSync function, the atomic clock actually changes to get in step with 6.0.

.
[Captivate Android Development] Captivate2010:
where is this option on the app.

thanks
[Captivate Android Development] SmithEC:
Is this the app you are using? If so, tap the app icon then hit the menu button on the lower left corner of your Captivate. When the menu comes up, hit Settings.

If this is not the app you are using, I apologize.

Gingerbread leak for Galaxy S

http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/28/android-2-3-2-gingerbread-leaks-for-samsung-galaxy-s/

Maybe this is why my phone is constantly switching from H to 3G and back?

[Captivate Android Development] gandalf21502:
I just read that 2.3.2 was leaked for the galaxy s phones...way to go Saumsung, first to do so...amazing!

So...when do you think we will see a Pargaon version? Would DONATE greatly for this...looking foward to it! Looks like it has Touchwiz 4, which is actually, from the videos I have seen, VERY NICE...:D

orange theme and 6.1 Paragon

Bentonhall, just wondering status of your themes and 6.1 compatibility ;) eagerly awaiting!!

btw...I can finally post here lol..so this my first post.

also...Paragon ROM just simply kicks butt. Thank you eSPyeL for such an awesome rom. I have four Cappy's and all are running RC6.0 Paragon Rom , and each are using one of Bentonhall's current color themes.
[Captivate Android Development] Feikname:
Noob question: I, too, am suffering massive battery drain -- insanely jealous of folks getting 24+ hours on a charge. Phone sitting on my desk, no wifi, 3G only, screen off, doing nothing loses about 20% per hour. Unplug at 6 AM and at 0% by 11 AM.

So bad I'm flashing back to stock 2.2 so I can take it back to the ATT store to try and get a new battery!

But can you explain your technique: are you loading Suckerpunch first, then Paragon, or Paragon and then Suckerpunch? If I'm running Paragon, do I reboot into recovery and then select SP?

Some more info would be very welcome!

Thansk

Paragon and then Suckerpunch

running Paragon, eboot into recovery and then select SP
[Captivate Android Development] eSPyeL:
Saw this earlier today. Just now got to the house to download and start looking at it.
[Captivate Android Development] mjgspr95:
Sorry if silly question, but you mention the default is OC 1200 100 hz. Then it says turn it on with voltage app. I'm assuming that means its the 1200 kernel, but it must be activated with the app. Is that the instructions that Shaolin gave or is there something simple to turn it on?

Still wondering if anyone has the full contact sync (activities and media) or is it just me?

Thanks again for awsome ROM!:)
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Seems to be missing many things according to the thread here but still nice!
[Captivate Android Development] SmithEC:
Now that your question has been answered, I have to say that my first thought when I read your post was that the guy quoted below has the answer to any battery drain issue. Six hours out of each would give you a full day.

.
[Captivate Android Development] depechenode:
yea and battery drain is not a problem with Paragon at all IMO...all four run very well. Running stock RC6 with lag fix and no issues. WiFi on 100%, GPS off unless needed. I do however keep screen brightness auto OFF and min setting. Everything else is standard. I lose maybe 15% for 8 hours on standby..phone sitting on desk
[Captivate Android Development] gandalf21502:
You are da man...hopefully you can cook up something from it. I know it is not the source, but seems some developers are already getting some 'good stuff' from it...Just LOVE PARAGON!!! I/we APPRECIATE all your work!
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Here is a boot animation Paragon branded. I asked a very nice user to do it for me, Goldieking.

I have yet to test it as I was caught flashing when the PM arrived but I thought someone may want to give a try and let me know how you like it. :-)

Thanks!

PS Rename to bootanimation.zip and replace the original as it is not flashable and I am too busty to do it now sorry.
[Captivate Android Development] bentonhall:
Too busty huh? People are going to talk..... I'll take a look at it and see if we can throw it in a theme somewhere.....
[Captivate Android Development] bentonhall:
I haven't gotten an answer from eSPyeL yet. eSPyeL, sent you a PM.

Anyway to get the "beach" live wallpaper from this rom?

I switched off this rom but really miss the "beach" live wallpaper..

RC6 is an excellent rom.. Im on Cog 4.1 for a few days.. kinda like the stock look
[Captivate Android Development] CapnPez:
I hope your friend doesn't mind, but I converted his to blue for those of us who like the bootanimations to match our blue themes. If someone wants another color, let me know and I'll convert it real quick (I just found out how to do batch conversions with GIMP).
[Captivate Android Development] bentonhall:
That looks really good. Might work well with the Yellow theme I'm working on. The little android dude could be there a little longer, if you blink you miss him. At the end there is the words "Paragon ROM", might consider taking out the "ROM", but regardless it looks great!
[Captivate Android Development] Captivate2010:
This is awsome very good job I like the blue.....:D
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
.. just checked out the bootani.. I like it. The android guy could be there a little longer. And i kinda like the Paragon ROM at the end.. just icing on the cake to showoff. But either way, I was using a really dope bootanimation but i think i will sport this one simply because it says Paragon during boot. I love that.
[Captivate Android Development] Goldie:
Glad you guys like :)
[Captivate Android Development] pj1000:
Worked like a charm. Thanks X.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Thanks for the conversion...I asked him but I doubt he will mind.

Glad you guys are liking it.

I asked him if he could delay the explosion a bit as in my phone is happens during the time the phone is not as smooth so it does not looks as good as the sparks do after that. :-)
[Captivate Android Development] Feikname:
So I went back to ATT / Sammy's 2.2 and the battery life is much better. Left it on overnight (8 hours) and dropped only about 10 percent. But I don't like the ROM (especially since I havn't been able to root it - 2.2 won't take unsigned packages, so update.zip file gets rejected). But the experiment proved to me that the problem isn't the battery / phone, but something I've got running on it.

Tonight I will re-install Paragon 6.0, to see what sort of performance I get without any extra apps. Maybe I had some app that was chewing up battery life and if I add them back in slowly, I can figure ot what it was/

Thanks

Thanks for all your hard work on this ROM!
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
I do hope you share your findings with the rest of us. I'm sure my battery drain issue has something to do with something I have installed... I just have so much installed it'd be way too tedious to go through them all... Currently reflashing to see if I managed to screw up on my most recent reflash I had to do because the kernel didn't flash right for some reason...
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Its def an app.

I abuse my phone like cheap hooker and get a full day easily (10 to 12 hrs). If I leave my phone untouched on my desk, the battery drops maybe %10 all day. I'm downloading torrents on my tester since 8am and still have %68 left

Try a fresh flash and start with only the apps that you need and go from there. You can also try OS Monitor to see what's chewing the battery (get it from the market free)

still looking into it, but came upon this error when flashing RC6 from 5. Not sure as to whats causing it, but need to switch due to chronic sleep of death....lol sounds pleasant from another stand point but anyways. Ya continuous reboot when sleeps. Any easy fix, will continuing searching tho. Thanks guys.

P.s. Great work. Will be donating soon.

hmmm well simple solution found. Just crossing fingesr for no sleep of death. Thanks again guys for the great work, looks and responds great so far.
[Captivate Android Development] rocketcuse:
I really like this bootanimation. Like others have said, I wish the Android could remain on the screen longer.

Still up in the air with the ROM text. Maybe do the ROM in a different font from Paragon?

On my phone the blue looks more like Cyan. Could we get a darker blue? Once they release the Orange theme, I'm likely to go orange, could you do an orange version?

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
I asked the user to keep the android longer before the explosion happens...specially since during the first few seconds the animation always runs a bit sluggish while the phone does whatever it is doing lol

Not sure about ROM either so I guess depends on what eSPyeL thinks.
[Captivate Android Development] jayjr1105:
Can someone post the link to flash the color menus and progress bars to rc6 like they were in rc5. Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] CapnPez:
I lengthened the time the android is on the screen (about twice as long as it was) and tried to make it an even deeper blue. I think there will still be a touch of cyan to it. If I tried adjusting much more, it would start looking purple (someone more savvy could probably do better). Even though it was fairly simple to increase the time, I can do add some more if you want me to.

Again, all credit goes to Goldieking. All that I did was spend 10 minutes changing colors, copying an image about 10 times, and re-zipping it.

I'll get to an orange one tonight (maybe). Even though this is a great bootanimation, I'd like to spend some more time trying to make a good one of my own.

Can I install a different rotary screen lock? I prefer it but it's crooked on this rom and driving me nuts lol

OK -- OS Monitor, here I come. If I can figure out what's chewing battery life, I'll be sure to post it. Thanks for hte suggestion.
[Captivate Android Development] rocketcuse:
The first version was good. This one I beleive is awesome! I really like the cyan and dark blue combination. I think it gives it a littl pop. The amount of time the android remains, for me is perfect.
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
So far, the only thing I do not like is the status bar drop-down. It is way too transparent for my taste, and the solid white elements just make it look bad, IMHO.

Other than that, it has been great.
[Captivate Android Development] k818mn1:
What's all the fuss about boot animations? I keep my phoned turned on all the time so I rarely ever see the boot screen (only when I flash a new version of Paragon!). Do you guys keep turning your phones off?

[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
Any updates on when 6.1 will make an appearance?
[Captivate Android Development] bentonhall:
6.1 was intended to only change the settings colors and extended menu colors back to the stock froyo look. Not speaking for eSPyeL but he decided he liked the way it was now and decided not to release 6.1 just for color changes, BUT he gave me the go ahead to add that as a theme option. So, I'm working on updating the current themes to have both options. For example, the blue theme will come in 2 versions, a blue/black version like it its now and a blue/stock version which will have the froyo colored menus and extended menus.
[Captivate Android Development] gordec:
This is a really nice looking these for Paragon RC6. Thx Loving it. I guess any JS3 themes will work huh?
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
Alot work but very few have home button haptic feedback. O and no problem. @ bentonhall sounds good
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
these are CWM zip right? just flash through recovery?
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Nope you need to rename to bootanimation.zip and move to the system\media folder.

bootanimation

Alright folks. I figured we didn't have enough bootanimations yet :)

I put this one together tonight. I intend to change it to blue as well (this one is orange-ish). Sorry, no .gif...I'm not exactly sure how. If you don't want to install it, just extract the part0 folder and take a look at the images.

I know it's been brought up before, but does someone want to start a theme thread specifically for Paragon so we can post all these in one spot? If no one else wants to, I can. I'm not sure how good I'll be at keeping up with it, but I'll try my best. I think it would be good to not clutter this thread (I've done my fair share of that ;) ) and I don't think we should make any more work for eSPyeL by wanting theme updates to the OP here. Let me know what you guys think.

Also, I mentioned converting various bootanimations to different colors. Can someone remind me which ones and to which color?
[Captivate Android Development] k818mn1:
Keeping the themes seperate from the ROM updates seems like a good idea. Personally, I like the green/stock theme (like in RC5.1), but I'd also like to try your blue/stock theme. Keep up the good work.
