Yes, news to me but I don't think it would work with a system app
[Captivate Android Development] viperrepiv:
RC4.0 did something strange to my 3G radio....data traffic over at&t's network was brought to a snail's pace. Very odd. The device gave me the H/3G symbol, but was going at EDGE speeds, maybe slower. I restored back to the RC3.0 backup and everything went back to normal.
[Captivate Android Development] deanhatescoffee:
Just wanted to report that I'm getting amazing (IMO) battery with RC4. I've had the phone unplugged for 12 hours and I still have 70% left. That was with a couple of text messages; 20 minutes of my kids playing Talking Tom and Ninjump; checking about 10 email messages; running imo, Seek Droid, Google Voice, Juice Defender and others in the background; and using the XDA app for about 20 minutes. So, admittedly, not a lot of usage, but it's been the best I've ever seen. Standby battery drain has been about 1-2% per hour - amazing, compared to what I've had for the last 6 months. I could actually leave my phone unplugged overnight and still have juice in the morning. I think what's helped a lot is that I've really hit the sweet spot with the Voltage Control settings I posted before: UV 1200-800 by -75, 600-200 by -100, and 100 by -125.
[Captivate Android Development] bentonhall:
Do you have anything disabled on the phone? Auto brightness, HSUPA, wireless, auto rotation, etc....? I'll try those settings and see how mine does.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Let us know know how you make out!
[Captivate Android Development] mnemonicj:
I also had to go back to RC3 also for a few reasons:

1. Lost data connection a couple times even though I was in a coverage area and had a good signal. A reboot fixed the problem. This never happened to me in RC3.

2. I had the phone have system hangs after a reboot a couple times in RC3, but in RC4 I had the issue after reboot, after normal power up, and after turning off and on the Wifi. No overclocking.

3. I had issues where I could not enter the pattern password up to 3 times after turning on the screen because the phone would not respond fast enough. Finally on the 4th try, it was able to track my finger and unlock. This happens rarely in RC3 and maybe only once when it does happen.
[Captivate Android Development] deanhatescoffee:
I have auto brightness disabled. I use about 20-25ish% brightness most of the time. HSUPA is enabled, GPS is enabled, WiFi is enabled, auto rotation is enabled. I use Juice Defender, which manages data connections and some other settings automatically. It turns data off when it's not in use. I don't understand exactly how it works but I think it helps and I haven't noticed any loss of service with it.
[Captivate Android Development] jmbradd:
awesome! Marked improvement already! Wasn't able to boot directly into CWM but booted phone then used power button to reboot into recovery.

sitting at 90% after 4 hours of minimal useage. Not great, but its not down the 30% in 30 mins it was before.
[Captivate Android Development] jmbradd:
sounds like a bad flash. Just had one of my best speed tests yet. 4.42 down 1.64 up but the download hit over 5 for the first time ever. I'd try flashing rc4 again (or just waiting for 5) and seeing what happens.
[Captivate Android Development] rpicaso:
I'm having this problem now. Batt never charges past 98% unless charging with phone off. When I turn the phone on it still says 98% recalibrated and it persists. Not a big deal to me though but might be worth looking into for the dev if it hasn't already been resolved.
[Captivate Android Development] RaneMan:
eSPyel would have to answer this but some kernels don't charge to 100% to prevent charge death. Mine does the same and I assumed this was why (could be wrong) but with this battery life I wasn't concerned.

how does the hardware camera button feature work?

I'd love to hit the power button to take a quick snap without first entering camera app
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Maybe there are other ways to do it but my workaround to this has been to use the Widget locker which gives you the option to place applications like a Camera on the lock screen so instead of moving the bars left or right to unlock you can do the same for the camera or any other app.
[Captivate Android Development] bentonhall:
Are you using the default settings for juice defender?
[Captivate Android Development] Jammn:
Installed this rom on Saturday and it is really nice, smooth and fast. But of you really want to see it fly turn off the animations and buckle your seat belts!

Btw, is there any chance of adding the ability to assign ringtones to google contact groups?

Great job!
[Captivate Android Development] psufan5:
Original poster should state that this ROM is fully compatible with YouPorn :D Doesnt have the audio problems all of the other ROMS have lol :D
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Well that just made my day ;)
[Captivate Android Development] onesikpuppy:
Has anybody tried the WP7 theme from the i9000 forum? I'm thinking of giving it a try but I do not want to break this ROM if it doesn't work.

Do a nandroid backup so if it messes up you can restore
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Well, I have not tried it but I have tried about 3 or 4 and as long as they are JPY compatible, I don't see anything that can break this.

Any hints as to what the change log for rc5 is? Fighting the itch to flash. Trying to hold out for your release
[Captivate Android Development] mnemonicj:
I am back on RC3 now, but I might reflash to RC4 tonight and give it another go. One thing that annoys me a little about RC4, but it really isn't an issue, is the brightness level. I used to keep my brightness at 20%, but with RC4 I am at 50% or 60%. Really not a big deal, just odd.
[Captivate Android Development] theMaDHakkeR:
This is an issue with the 12k kernel. Its been resolved in RC5.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
soon I hope?
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Very excited about RC5. I'm sure it will be well worth the wait!

Bluetooth Voice dialing

does this rom fully support voice dialing via bluetooth and google voice actions?

Thanks

I used bluetooth voice dialing just the other day and it worked just fine.

And I use voice navigation today and it worked fine.
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
This is too funny...lol....no one is posting anything. All are in anticipation of the new release....someone slap me 5 (rc5)!
[Captivate Android Development] switters1:
Can anybody post a link to RC3?

RC4 has been murdering my battery this last week.10-15% loss an hour with barely any usage. (yeah, I did all the usual recalibration nonsense). Same apps and widgets as I had with RC3 which lasted 20+ hours easily with moderate use. I blame blinky even though it's disabled.

Is RC3 on a repository somewhere?
[Captivate Android Development] aaronv89:
does this include voice input for text fields via bluetooth -- eg voice input for text message?
[Captivate Android Development] deanhatescoffee:
You can get RC3 from the Paragon repository on my site - http://xda.deanhatescoffee.com
[Captivate Android Development] pobinghun:
How to make email not crashing?
[Captivate Android Development] deanhatescoffee:
I have never thought about using Bluetooth for text input fields. The answer to your question is no, at least not for me. AFAIK, Bluetooth voice control is limited to Google voice commands, Choice Dialer, etc. Just apps that serve as "voice control" apps.
[Captivate Android Development] deanhatescoffee:
A few things to try:

- Start with just a simple reboot of your phone. See if that fixes it.

- Reboot your phone into CWM. Go to Advanced and clear your dalvik cache.

- Try K9 Mail as an alternative to the standard Mail app.

- If all else fails, reflash Paragon.

Using my original OC/UV settings from 1300 down excluding 1120 and 900, 25, 50, 75, 100, 100, 125, 125, 150, no Juice Defender, Auto Brightness, Auto Rotation, Bluetooth, GPS and Wifi all disabled except when needed. Also using 2g mostly, I had the following battery stats.

-Time without sleeping- 3 hrs 18 minutes.

-Time with screen on-2 hours 16 minutes.

-Phone calls- 32 minutes.

-Wifi-1 hour 54 minutes.

-Time unplugged- 13hour 55 minutes.

-Still shows 30% battery remaining.

Using your settings above just to see the difference. UV 1200-800 by -75, 600-200 by -100, and 100 by -125. Juice Defender running Auto Brightness off, Auto Rotation, GPS and Wifi all enabled (had Wifi disabled while at work only) and had HSUPA enabled, I had the following battery stats.

-Time without sleeping- 4hrs 17 min.

-Time with screen on- 1hr 32 min.

-Phone calls-24min.

-Wifi-7hrs 36min.

-Bluetooth- 27min.

-Time unplugged-15hrs.

Shows 13% battery remaining. Only bad thing is with these UV settings, my phone seems jerky/laggy. I don't think it likes the aggressive UV settings at the higher frequencies. Also, if you use Google Voice for texting, you will only get notifications every 15 minutes as Juice Defender turns all data radios off (unless your screen is on) and enables them every 15 minutes for back ground syncing.

Tomorrow, I'm going to try my original OC/UV settings with JuiceDefender on, HSUPA enabled, Auto Brightness, Auto Rotation, GPS, and Wifi off except when needed and see how it goes. I'll report back tomorrow if anyone is interested, but regardless, both scenarios have brought almost double the battery life I ever had before.

EDIT: Made it easier to read the stats.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
That I don't know.. I only used it to dial numbers from my contacts list.
[Captivate Android Development] deanhatescoffee:
This is great info; thanks for the detailed analysis. In Juice Defender, if you use the custom profile then you can set 4 applications to have constant internet access. I just set Google Voice as one of those 4 (instead of the web browser, which was set as a default) so I didn't have any loss in GV service.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Has anyone tried ext 2 with this rom by any chance?
[Captivate Android Development] aaronv89:
i know people are getting amazing results with the paragon kernel and the paragon rom but i've also heard of people getting great results with glitterball's kernel and this rom. I was just wondering if anyone here had an opinion on this?
[Captivate Android Development] aaronv89:
oh dang. that would be pretty cool though right? i think there was an app that allowed it, I remember reading around the forums. I'll see if i can find it and post back!
[Captivate Android Development] RaneMan:
eSPyel,

What did you do to disable the PowerOn.wav in this ROM....I am actually trying to re-activate with a custom sound...I have gone through all of the init scripts and replaced your bootsamsung.qmg with the original and looked through playlogos files but I can't get it to work on boot. I am just playing with it waiting for the release of RC5. Let me know thanks
[Captivate Android Development] bentonhall:
Do you have Google Voice set as visable or service? What are your other three apps? One thing I've noticed, I'm currently recharging my phone and have reset my OC/UV settings back to what I originally had and still have juice defender enabled and it is a little smoother (probably related to my OC of 1300 vs your 1200), but still seems a little jerky until I disable JuiceDefender and then everything is smoking fast. Are you experiencing this at all? I haven't enabled CPU management, actually can't tell if I can, not sure if the dotted enabled means you have to pay for this or what.
[Captivate Android Development] bfara83:
I would never use EXT2 partition since it doesn't use Journaling. Sure it will be faster but speed is work sacrificing when it comes to possible data loss or corruption using the EXT2 partition.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
I actually went ahead and did it just for fun..considering that I flash so often the risk is minimal for me :D
[Captivate Android Development] bfara83:
Both kernels are very similar but it seems like Paragon's kernel is more optimized for better battery usage just on my personal experience. Give both a try for a few days and see which one you like better.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
I have tried every overclocked kernel out there and keep coming back to this one...that is the best endorsement I can give...really outstanding stuff.
[Captivate Android Development] androidpwns:
Is there any way we can flash the latest Voodoo Sound driver to this kernel because v4 just came out but I really don't want to switch kernels just for this one update.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Voodoo 4 is coming and flashing a kernel is super easy...just ask if you have Qs :)
[Captivate Android Development] androidpwns:
Thanks for the quick reply! So if I wanted the latest Voodoo Sound driver would I have to completely flash over to a new kernel that already has a built-in driver update or could I somehow just flash an update to get the latest driver?

Oh yeah, the battery life is absolutely amazing especially once you figure out the most optimal UV settings for your phone. For my usage, I don't even feel the need to OC because this ROM is already very smooth!
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
Is it just me? I CANNOT get a 100% charge...highest i can get is 98...wiped batt stats and all that.....maybe just try a new batt?
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Best I have done lately is 99 by unplugging and plugging many times.

BTW, not seeing anything with EXT2 worth it really.....I have a folder with many many apks and it still lags while scrolling through those if that is even related to the file system that is.

So next flash, I will go no lag fix to see...I have not seeing anything that tells me ext4 is doing much other than Quadrant scores for 2.2.1 roms...but feel free to let me know if you have things that are faster with the lag fix so I can test it.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
not sure if there will be such an update available or possible, sorry.
[Captivate Android Development] mopo01:
I believe the app your looking for is Vlingo
[Captivate Android Development] eSPyeL:
Sorry for the delay on rc5. I'm just doing all kinds of tests to get the best battery life and performance. I got snowed in today so I don't have to go to work (I live in Texas), so hopefully I can wrap everything up. No promises though.

I really don't ever want to rush any release. If I'm not 100% satisfied with everything I'm not going to release.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
So you mean you got 1/2" of snow?! :D

Sorry I live in Utah so it is always funny to see states not used to snow getting shutdown when 1 inch of snows drops by...I did live in Texas for 3 years though. :)

Good call on not rushing things or coming out with one update per day to change the font size or something like that lol
[Captivate Android Development] eSPyeL:
We had a genuine texas blizzard! We will probably be shut down for a week hahah. The windchill tonight is suppose to be -11!:eek::eek:

No way dude, that is not Texas ....!!!!! It was not that cool when I lived there...30s at best (I love the cold) I guess you are getting the feeling of how it is to live in the other States...hope you like it cause I love the cold :D

No keep working!!!! JK :eek:
[Captivate Android Development] slider2828:
Lol I was just listening to that on the radio this morning about the Super Bowl weather being freezing and ice storms, but they play in the dome anyways. Anyways, I think you are right about LauncherPro eating up battery and I recently switched over to SuckerPunch's Kernel, it looks to be pretty stable and slightly better battery life, but I am using the 100mhz kernel not the 500...

Hopefully someone can fix launcherpro or have some tips on reducing the batt usage of it.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
I cannot get rid of Launcher Pro as I cannot find another launcher that does all it does for me.

I tried the sucker punch kernel but was never able to get it as stable as Paragons at the same speed..still it seems good and I like it more than the others I have tried for sure.
[Captivate Android Development] k818mn1:
Choice Dialer has much more functionality that the stock Android voice dialer thru bluetooth, including voice confirmation of your spoken commands. The paid version also allows dictation of texts and emails thru bluetooth (although you still have to press the send button on the screen). I also tried vlingo, but that requires a bluetooth headset with A2DP in order to speak to you.
[Captivate Android Development] FredOak3:
The only issue I've had with RC4 isn't really related to RC4 and that is, even though I can lock 8-10 birds, freaking Samsung's GPS still flips my position all over the place. I did change modem to znkp1 because I couldn't get a decent lock otherwise.

I've been able to get the battery to 100% after doing the reset with no problem.

Speed still at 1.2 but it's so much better than what I had otherwise or with stock I have no complaints.

So basically rc4 is doing pretty much everything I was looking for in a ROM. It is going to take either some cool updates in RC5 or my uncontrollable urge to tinker, to get me to start over, and usually tinkering wins.

Oh and we're suppose to get 12-16" of the white stuff starting at 10 PM...so I'm hoping a "work" from home tomorrow.
[Captivate Android Development] DrDubzz:
Where in Texas? I'm in Amarillo and we didn't get much snow but it's 1 degree outside with a -20 something wind chill
[Captivate Android Development] XeoNoX:
must say this ROM is awsome, the GPS does work very very very good. Only thing missing is Clockwork Mod and Titanium, but i can manually install those. For some reason the buttoms seems super sesitive (either that or my phone is super fast now).
[Captivate Android Development] eSPyeL:
I live in the DFW area.
[Captivate Android Development] XeoNoX:
adw launcher ex, it is highly customizable.
[Captivate Android Development] XeoNoX:
i had same problem trying to uninstall ALLSHARE and SOCIAL HUB, titanium couldnt remove neither could the normal uninstall. I had to find out the name of the APK and go into the SYSTEM/APP folder using "root explorer" and manually delete the apk.
[Captivate Android Development] eSPyeL:
I really like zeam and go launcher. Too bad the developer stopped working on zeam.
[Captivate Android Development] slider2828:
I agree with you too on this one, but man it eats up battery.... 12 hours with minimal usage I dropped from 91 - 63... Basically checking facebook like for 15 minutes and a 15 minute call..... no wifi, no gps...

I think this is slightly better than the paragon kernel....
[Captivate Android Development] eSPyeL:
Just out of curiosity what is it that you like better? I'm always looking for ways to improve the kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
It is and it is getting closer to launcher pro with other things that are even better but I need my scrolling dock area the way it works with launcher pro and the 3d app drawer does not seem as smooth even though that is not very important.

I have been testing it. :)
[Captivate Android Development] bassahaulic:
This is the first ROM I've flashed and I am super happy with it!

Amazingly fast!
[Captivate Android Development] psufan5:
Im wondering why this rom works with YouPorn and the others dont lol :D
[Captivate Android Development] XeoNoX:
ouch, gotta fix the dialer UI. I click on CONTACTS then the NAME OF CONTACT, and it just has a MESSAGE button!! what happened to the CALL button??

u have a APK that i can just overwrite to fix, the contacts screen is where i do most of my calling from, its an absolute must have for the CALL button. i was really starting to like the rom till i ran into that.
[Captivate Android Development] CapnPez:
You can have a scrolling dock with adw. It has the "hidden dock" that you can enable and drag/drop whatever you want into it and it will scroll if you overflow. I have my main dock and then the swipe up gesture to switch to the hidden dock.

I can't say I'm a die hard adw guy, but I tend to like it better. I was rocking Go Launcher for a while, but the app drawer seemed to laggy. Before that, I used zeam and really enjoyed it, but still preferred adw.

btw, Shaolin, I can't seem to find a ROM thread that you're not actively engaged in helping others (or wanting another oc/uv kernel :) ). You're help, and others, is greatly appreciated.

[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
I like the widgets from Launcher Pro (paid version), but I noticed it does chew some resources. I've tried adw, but it just doesn't seem as fluid. Haven't tried in a release or two. I'll have to give it a go I guess. I'm gonna miss my widgets though :(
[Captivate Android Development] slider2828:
At 1400MHZ, it seems to like my phone better... At least it functions for a bit before it crashes. Also I think it has the latest voodoo stuff as well, which its noticeable more than ever. I know its tough to maintain a rom AND a kernel at the same time, but its always nice to have the newest stuff.

I like his bootup icon, maybe you can make your Paragon icon a little nicer to look at during boot up. But to me it seems like the battery life is better on SuckerPunch's kernel than yours.... I am currently using JL2 modem. Also I am able to choose 100mhz for the kernel for better battery life or the 500mhz kernel which is kinda nice too (I like having a choice). i am currently on the 100mhz kernel and I don't notice the difference in overall usage speed, just battery is better which is important to me.

I DID have a question though about battery charging on your ROM. It doesn't like to be at 100% when I unplug. I did the charge to 100% with phone on, then phone off, then phone on, then phone off, then clear batt stats... Still close as I can get is like 98 or 99%..... weird.....
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
I do like their logo better so yeah that one I give you. My phone does work a lot better with the kernel I am using for Paragon though. Completely stable.

The 100 vs 500 is being work on too so no worries you may have the option and personally I have not seen any speed differences either.

[Captivate Android Development] bentonhall:
Have you tried go launcher? It is very similar to launcher pro. I also use launcher pro at this time.
[Captivate Android Development] bentonhall:
Go launcher has the scrolling dock. I didn't know launcher pro used so much battery. I may try go launcher myself.
