HEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!!!!!!!!!

Well, I've flashed....

It installed from SD & I chose to reboot now.

Now it booted into the green screen & says "New filesytem config detected. Convert?"

I have not seen this mentioned, what do I do??

My options are:

Yes

Yes, w/factory reset after backup

Yes, w/factory reset w/out backup

No, enter recovery mode

No, remove the new config

Which one do I choose?

[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
ok ok.. no need to rub it in. .. jk;)
[Captivate Android Development] scuba_d:
yes 10 char
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
YES. (at least thats what i chose)
[Captivate Android Development] scuba_d:
yes is the correct answer for 200 alex
[Captivate Android Development] Billbo1970:
I put it on both just to be sure, LOL

Bill
[Captivate Android Development] Billbo1970:
OK... just chose YES

Alright, it's doing stuff now (yes, I'm typing in real-time LOL)

Paragon in the corner!

Funky new load screen.. that is taking a LONG time

I've got Paragon! Whew!!

Thanks for all the help everybody... and especially thanks for leaving out that scary last menu... LOL

[Captivate Android Development] scuba_d:
ENJOY. make sure after it is on for a few minutes you reboot your phone like it says in the instructions on the first page on this rom thread.
[Captivate Android Development] Billbo1970:
Do I need to leave the paragon zip on my SD or can I remove it?
[Captivate Android Development] gospeedgo:
You can remove it if you want, but I always leave a good, known ROM zip on my card, just in case. They don't take up much room, and it's nice to have if you ever get stuck in a boot loop or something. Same with the update.zip.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Always good to keep a rom on your sd, just in case something goes wrong and you need to reflash.

You do not need to, I would recommend
[Captivate Android Development] scuba_d:
you can remove it, it is not necessary anymore unless YOU mess something up and want to return to the way it was right after you flashed it.
[Captivate Android Development] Billbo1970:
OK, so I've got a couple of issues now that I'm running paragon:

1. Do I still need Advanced Task Killer, or is that no longer necessary?

2. I'm getting failure messages when trying to connect to google talk & when trying to download from marketplace.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Don't use task manager

What error message
[Captivate Android Development] RaneMan:
Congrats on your flash....something I want to add for the future. I understand that it can be worrisome to flash when you don't know what's going on but it may be time for some reading. Don't take me the wrong way here, but everything that you were looking for to accomplish this flash (even the scary last part) is in the first few posts of this thread. I highly recommend reading the first few posts of any rom thread before you flash the rom. This is going to save you alot of heartache and flaming in other threads. More than likely, you will not receive the same helpful response in most rom threads and you are asking questions that are clearly posted in the op (one thing that I love about the people using this rom is their willingness to help). Now that you have paragon on your phone you need to spend some time reading the forums and some of the beginner info (pay attention to stickies). Also this thread has many posts, if you encounter an issue, use the "search this thread" option at the top to maker sure that it hadn't been answered. Just thought I would leave you with some helpful tips that will make things easier for you. Good luck and enjoy the best rom on XDA (in my opinion)

[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Stupid question but did you log into your google account
[Captivate Android Development] Billbo1970:
Not a stupid question, LOL. I was in IT Support for MANY years :D

I can't get the email application to load either, I need to force close it. I should probably mention that when I did the TiBU I backed up EVERYTHING. So i only selectively installed components of the previous backup. Is there some file I need to backup that I didn't choose maybe?

Bill
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
More likely you restored something that you should not of. When restoring only restore user apps with data. Anything system related may cause issues.

Try this, long press power, select recovery, in recovery restore, select the backup that was created when you selected yes. Or reflash rom. Before you restore anything try gtalk and email
[Captivate Android Development] slyguy2000:
Okay, I think I got it...it seems that the random search issue happens on post rom modem flashing... I embedded KP1 into the RC5.1 ROM and did	a flash back to stock, master clear, then installed RC5.1 w/KP1 and no problems anymore!
[Captivate Android Development] Jammn:
Ok false alarm! After being on FULL for 7hrs I wiped battery stats and rebooted. Battery now on 41% so 60% in 7hrs. Better than before but still nothing to write home about.

Anxiously awaiting R6...
[Captivate Android Development] Billbo1970:
Yeah, I must have. I restored data & system. Everything is working fine now. Thank you to everyone for all your help!! I'm going to go play w/it now :D

Bill
[Captivate Android Development] jboneiii:
Glad to hear. So modem flashing may be one way this problem can occur. When this problem started happening to me a lot after being on a Cognition ROM for a while, the only thing I changed were apps (lots of times).

[Captivate Android Development] jboneiii:
Now regarding the OP, the GPS on this ROM started off really good.

But now, since I flashed the initial release of 5.0 weeks ago with no re-flashing, the GPS seems to have gotten...BETTER. I get locks everywhere and faster than my handheld Garmin Nuvi, something I would have never even imagined on this phone considering how crappy GPS was for me on stock and other previous ROMs.

Thank you eSPyeL and other contributors.

does this rom allow switching between 2g and 3g from mobile networks settings menu.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Option does not appear to be there

Maybe in rc6 ;)
[Captivate Android Development] flxdms:
If by that you mean switching from GSM/WCDMA (auto mode) to GSM only and WCDMA only, then yes.

eSPyel,

If your still taking suggestions for RC6, can or could you please add SGS Tools to the app list??

Thanks and as always, excellent job. The hard work is appreciated. :)

And then have RC6.Final in no time.

LOL JK espyel.

Can't wait! I'm still on RC4, and today I was able to let my phone take it easy, not much use, quick emails, couple short phone calls, maybe half hour of pandora..

Don't know how to SS (i bet theres an APP) and don't want to make a picture hosting account.. So I'll type this..

15h 53m 35s since unplugged

Display...........71%

Cell standby....15%

Phone idle.......7%

Voice calls......6%

77% battery remaining.

This is with no overclock on the stock rc4 kernel, -100,-100,-125,-125,-150,-150,-150 UV.

Can't wait to see what RC6 brings, and looking forward to the red theme!

Well, I've had RC5.1 on there long enough to play with it for a few hours & it's fantastic! Thank you for making this eSPyel !!

Being new to it, I notice one thing lacking from my previous (vanilla 2.1 ATT) OS... When I create a shortcut, it does not appear that you can drag it off to another screen like I could with the ATT OS. Not a big deal, but I do miss that feature. Am I doing something wrong or is that not possible w/this version?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Should work but I am using a different launcher so I can not test
[Captivate Android Development] scuba_d:
It does work, its just very hard and you Have hold it there just a second and then it will flip to the next page. And you have to get it as far to the side of the screen as possible. I do it all the time but its not easy

Thanks Scuba, I'll keep trying :D
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Wish I had the skill to do something like that. I also think it would be nice if there was a quick and easy way to change the bootlogo and the kernel logo...

I also think someone should come up with an actual logo for Paragon.

If I save the voltage control settings as "save as boot settings", how can I restore it back to stock, and if I flash another paragon rom, will this be disabled or I have to do it manually?

Don't have that option on mine and I'm running stock Paragon RC 5.1. Only option I have is check box to use packet data or not.

Paragon 5.1

Hi eSPyeL, finally I can participate has this forum. I am very happy with this Rom and I'm waiting RC6. the only thing my battery lasts between 10 to 12 hours maximum with a moderate use and sometimes I use very little. Continues to give me the GPS satellite problems, recognizes either 8 or 9 but not stable. I hope the new version RC6 can solve this problem. Is that each cell is different and that the main problem is Samsung. Wanted to say I appreciate your work and believe that this Rom is the best to use. :)
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Well for the bacteria problem maybe try some antibiotics...as for the GPS , this has given me great results GPS Fix from Supernova :D
[Captivate Android Development] flxdms:
Weird. Then I wonder how that option got on my phone. It probably came with a theme I installed or something.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Thanks...keep them coming....this will be added to a boot animation , we just want something that looks nice and probably the Paragon word itself is the most crucial part we want to make unique. Then again, that is just me hehehe we have to ask eSPyel to see what he is looking for :-)
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
My guess is the theme you are using
[Captivate Android Development] Billbo1970:
OK, here's one more. This one is full-screen resolution:
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
The rule of thumb for Voltage Control settings is to hit the "Apply for Now" button until you are certain everything is stable. Once stable, you can "Save as Boot". If you flash a ROM anytime after that, ALWAYS return your Voltage Control back to its original settings. If not, you will get FC's when you try to open the Voltage Control app on your newly flashed ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] bentonhall:
I definitely don't see that. Does it actually work?

What theme are you using? What kernel are you using?
[Captivate Android Development] flxdms:
It seems to be working. I'm pretty sure it is because of theme I am using right now. It is called VA Green v11 and it flashes a new Settings.apk file. I am using the stock Paragon kernel.

Edit: The reason I'm telling you that it seems to work is because I can't test it right now. I'm in a place where Roger's coverage is sort of ****ty. 3G only works in some specific spots and I have no 3G here right now. Although GSM only works fine.
[Captivate Android Development] Captivate2010:
Thanks... I try the antibiotics but still the same problem.....

[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Love that them. On version 2 you need to change the swype with the one in the captivate section.
[Captivate Android Development] SmithEC:
I continue to see really good results with that fix.

For some odd reason, my GPS isn't working for me in RC5.1. That Supernova fix gives me the superior GPS performance I get out of RC3.0.

I don't expect anyone to care, but I intend to start a hunger strike at 6 PM Central time today. I will continue my strike until such time as RC6.0 is released. Feel free to join me.

If the protests of the masses can work in the Middle East and North Africa, it can work here, too.

Captivate n00b with a couple questions

Hey Guys,

Long story short, I am looking for any guides or info on specific problems that can be expected when flashing one rom over another using the clockwork factory restore/wipe option instead of Odin to restore to factory. Now some background and details:

I am new to the Captivate root/ROM arena (as the Captivate is my wife's device) but have been flashing ROMs on my Aria for about 6 months. I have tried searching for the answer to my question, but haven't had much luck, so I'm hoping to get some specific info here. I am posting here because I just flashed Paragon RC5.1 on the wife's device. Since I provide her tech support, I guess I better know the answers!

About a week ago my wife finally got sick of waiting for ATT to update the device to 2.2, and asked me to root - primarily so she can have voice dialing over bluetooth. After some preliminary research, and reviewing some of the available ROMs with her, she decided she wanted to go with Phoenix. After a couple days, she said she wasn't thrilled with all of the custom theming, etc. So I did some more research, and ended up here.

For the first go-round, I followed the instructions for installing on linux, and used my Ubuntu box to do the root and install the rom. For this round, as I was planning to Odin back to stock before continuing, I attempted to use my wife's laptop running Vista. Device was not recognized - windows indicated it wasn't functioning properly. I tried reboots, and installing samsung drivers from a couple of different sources, with no change in results. The device connects to my Ubuntu box with no issues, so I am still assuming a driver issue on the Windows side. At any rate, in frustration I decided to use my usual Aria procedure to flash Paragon. Install Paragon zip on internal SD using linux box, reboot device to clockwork, wipe data/factory restore, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, install .zip from SD. This brought up a prompt in clockwork, after install, about re-configuring the file system, to which I answered yes. This resulted in a second reboot, into Paragon.

To this point (about an hour of use so far) my wife has had zero issues, and is just happy that she didn't lose her progress in Angry Birds, thanks to titanium.

I am hoping she runs into no issues, but would like to be prepared just in case - thus my initial question.

Also, if anyone here can suggest any places to get windows drivers other then the usual stickies etc. it would be appreciated.

Thanks for putting up with a n00b!

[Captivate Android Development] Jammn:
Needed to satisfy my flash-addiction so went and checked out the VA Green v11 theme at

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=864112

Flashed the theme but didn't get the ability to switch 2G/3G in the menu.

However, I also flashed the phone VA GREEN PHONE file and got the ability to RECORD in the phone app.

I know some of you have been asking for that feature.
[Captivate Android Development] flxdms:
Have you tried with Bay_wolf's AIO Captivate Toolbox 2.5? The drivers from the toolbox work perfectly on my Vista machine that I use to Odin back to stock.

It might come from GingerMix too. I've flashed GingerMix AND VA Green v11. I got both of them from this thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=938855 . I am currently using a mix of I9000 themes that have a lot of different applications that come with them. It could be anything, really.

Sorry if this is answared somewhere but the tread is too long and search gave me nothing. My question is what happend with stay awake option in Application --> Development Menu. And is there other way to enable screen to be on all time when charging.
[Captivate Android Development] SmithEC:
I'm a noob myself, and don't necessarily "speak the language". I don't actually make calls with my phone, so can't necessarily speak about the virtues or shortfalls of this or that. My phone seems to be just for play. It's a curse that I become an enthusiast of anything I own.

Paragon RC3.0 was my first custom ROM installation. Only once have I flashed a custom ROM over another custom ROM without restoring to factory and then doing a Master Clear.

As far as I know, the only ill effect was that once I restored LauncherPro and all my apps from TiBU, some of my icons were no longer valid. I had VoltageControls in Paragon RC5.0, yet there is no such thing in the ROM I put over it. This left me with an icon that looked like a generic Market icon. Easily deleted, of course.

After a couple of days she wasn't thrilled with the custom theming? I'm sure it's not your intent to bad-mouth the effort, and it certainly wouldn't be my intent, but that theme got on my nerves after about 20 minutes. I had to get it off and got RC5.0 back on this phone ASAP. I do like that GPS fix associated with that group of folks, therefore thought I'd check out the ROM. It suits plenty of people, I suppose.

I don't know what to tell you about the drivers. I thought the .... I have to stop mid-sentence because it occurs to me just now that you said Vista, not Windows 7. Man, I don't know what to tell you. Seems to me that you almost never see a reference to Vista on XDA. I really feel for you having to deal with that OS. I hated that OS enough that I actually replaced Vista with XP on a laptop. It ain't easy with a laptop, what with seemingly non-existent driver support.

(I type so slow, that it looks like your Vista problem was answered before I hit "Reply")

[Captivate Android Development] Jammn:
eSPyeL I almost forgot. In R6 can you fix it so that the status bar in K9 mail doesn't go crazy.

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] dandrumheller:
Sorry, I forgot to mention this - I did try using Bay_wolf's toolbox. I had installed the drivers prior to installing his application, to no avail, so I tried removing, then re-installing them from the toolkit - same results. The toolkit itself seems to be working, just not recognizing the device. As of now, I can't even connect the device to the Windows PC as mass storage. Unfortunately, I can't even say for 100% certain that it worked before rooting. I can't really justify putting win7 on this somewhat aging laptop. At least for now, this is really only a pain in the ass, not a huge problem.

Thanks for the input in this regard. It certainly was not my intent to badmouth the folks at the Phoenix project, and I apologize to them here if it came across that way. In fact, I like some of their theming, but as this is not my device, my opinion in this regard is worth absolutely zero! ;)

Glad to hear your only issues with flashing one rom over another involved some dead shortcuts! That is encouraging. There were several apps on Phoenix that are not on Paragon, and I did not notice any icons for these apps in the app drawer, so I think I dodged that bullet. Out of curiosity, what steps did you take prior to flashing the second rom over the first? Same as me (data wipe/factory reset, clear cache, clear dalvik) or something else?
