Paragon Kernel

Based on speedmod k13a kernel.

Hardcore deserves all the credit here for the awesome speedmod kernel. I have taken his kernel and added OC/UV support and compiled several different versions. The default paragon kernel is OC to 1.2ghz with HZ set to 100hz. No OC by default. Turn on from voltage control app.

From Hardcore's 'What is speedmod kernel page':

- Based on JPX Froyo kernel source code

- 340MB RAM

- Voice calls: audio works with standard stereo headphones and phone mic

- Voice calls: louder earpiece volume and tweaked mic gain to reduced distortion

- Recordings: corrected mic gain to remove audio distortion from video recordings

- Slight boost to rear speaker volume level

- Improvements to FM radio sound quality

- Headphone output boost with support for Voodoo Sound application

- Improved sharpness: enabled AMOLED mode in MDNIE processing

- Superb text clarity: Removed over-sharpening of the screen

- Better colors

- Enhanced version of sztupy's Universal Lagfix

- Safest ext4 mount options

- Supports ext2 / ext3 / ext4 / ext4nj / jfs lagfixes (only ext4 is recommended)

- Supports conversion of /system partition

- Minimum brightness lowered by 30% for comfortable low-light use

- Auto-Brightness adjusted to keep the screen dimmer longer in low light

- Auto-Brightness adjusted to make the screen brighter earlier in bright light

- Auto-Brightness sensor polling interval increased from 0.5s to 1.2s

(Saves battery and makes brightness levels more stable)

- Disabled kernel debug logging

- Disabled Android debug logger (can be re-enabled via Tweaks)

- Replaced kernel jhash2 with jhash3

- Battery level polling frequency reduced from 5s to 60s

- Tweaks for CFQ IO scheduler

Now this came out of the blue rigth when I am about to test Darky 8.1 and Serendipty 3.5 so I guess I would give this one a shot first!

Do you have that Wifi fix applied here?

Also, any problem using a different modem?

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] theMaDHakkeR:
Why now when I have 11% battery.... Guess I'll flash tomorrow and possibly see if any bugs arise. This looks fantastic though.
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
Don't you LOVE it when that happens, too many ROM's not enough Cappy's

Looks really nice from the screens. Congrats on your ROM! I'll give it a run and get you some feedback when I have a moment to flash it
[Captivate Android Development] Lancez:
it's been in the oven for a while, glad to see it finally came out :D
[Captivate Android Development] rnewton01:
downloading now....

gonna test this out in the morning.... screens look great.
[Captivate Android Development] kennethpenn:
Really excited for this ROM! Blow me away!
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
I am getting ready to flash...love tryng a new kernel that is not too far from my normal 1344 overclock...maybe I can convince him to give it one or two more steps so I can still do 1344 with his kernel :-)
[Captivate Android Development] chipsa964:
Does this ROM have the 4 lockscreen options?
[Captivate Android Development] Hydro360:
cant wait to see the reviews looks amazing. sticking with darky for right now loving the 2.3.1 bugger is fast smooth and so far great battery life. might be willing to give this a try though
[Captivate Android Development] cupps:
The moment you start to get comfortable with a rom, and BAM!- something new and shiny comes along. And the endless spiral of reflashing continues... lol.
[Captivate Android Development] bamonkey:
always interested in trying a new kernel..thats usually where the 'good' stuff can be found :D

any way we might get a full list of whats in the kernel besides the OC? Im a bit of a stickler and since i know what all the optimizations are after countless nights of reading i like knowing what people have included in their kernels.

ROM looks awesome will give it a go when my battery is fully charged
[Captivate Android Development] aintwaven:
I loved your last rom, so I can't wait.
[Captivate Android Development] eSPyeL:
It is using the wifi fix. No problem using a different modem. Feel free to use whatever works best for you. JK4 just works best for me.
[Captivate Android Development] eSPyeL:
Looks much better on the phone than on the screens! :D
[Captivate Android Development] eSPyeL:
Yes it has! Glad to finally get it out there. Thanks for all your help and feedback!
[Captivate Android Development] acdbx:
sweet! downloading right now.

what's new/different in the kernel? seems like an oc'd speedmod?
[Captivate Android Development] eSPyeL:
I'll be making a new post for the kernel in the morning. I'm too tired right now, but basically it's a tweaked speedmod k12k kernel with OC/UV. Details will be in the kernel post.
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
Supposedly, the normal 'Media volume' control is the digital volume (like the volume control in a Windows taskbar) while the slider in the Voodoo app is the analog volume control (like the dial on an amp). What I did is lower the analog volume, max out media volume, then bring up the analog volume to the loudest I could bear. Then I backed down the media volume to a comfortable listening level.

Is there an improvement? I think so (a bit more soundstage presence, less distortion from equalizing). Then again, my good headphones are long gone and I'm using the stock Captivate headphones (which are surprisingly excellent for generic included headphones--the best headphones bundled with a product I've ever heard).
[Captivate Android Development] dcrews:
Any way to tell if system is ext4?
[Captivate Android Development] JPxM0Dz:
DL'ing now, the oc/uv looks enticing ; )

Gingerborg Edition
[Captivate Android Development] Lancez:
after i converted system to EXT4 (not data), i can't delete/push .apks into sys/apps. is it just me or anyone else having this issue? what is the best time to apply lagfix for system, right after flashing?
[Captivate Android Development] momulah:
If you use root explorer be sure to click mount R/W in upper righthand corner...
[Captivate Android Development] momulah:
Does this rom support bootanimation.zip replacement?
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
Someone a page back was wanting the default wallpaper, its attached. And bootanis are supported just rename your boot animation to "bootanimation.zip" and drop in system\media\ after mounting system as R/W and overwrite the old one.
[Captivate Android Development] Lancez:
ya, i did but it won't even mount.
[Captivate Android Development] theMaDHakkeR:
Does anyone else notice after updating to RC 2.0 that when you hang up a call, the sound it makes is much quieter than on RC 1 & 1.1? Anyone else know what I'm talking about?

Also the Voodoo sound is AMAZING! With my Panny headphones this thing is slamming now...
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Thanks for that. Now does anyone have any idea how to get a startup sound to work with this ROM? Tried the PowerOn.wav in the /system/etc/ dir but it didn't work.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Honestly, I have yet to see ext4 do anything better than rfs after using 2.2.1 roms , in fact, if anything Gallery 3D seems laggier to me. :)
[Captivate Android Development] ogar1978:
Google Search Bar

Really enjoying the look of the Rom will have to see performance over the next few days.

One question though is there anyway to make the google search bar ont he home scren black? The standard white looks ugly?
[Captivate Android Development] Clienterror:
Yea I agree it does sound a little more full, I'm probably just expecting to much because its so hyped up ya know?

[Captivate Android Development] DrDubzz:
I'm having a slight problem with wifi contectivity.

It connects to the network no problem, but I'm having issues connecting to the market, to websites, etc.

The computers and my wife's iphone are having no issues at all. Is anyone else having this issue? Maybe a reboot will fix it, I dunno.
[Captivate Android Development] Clienterror:
And by the way, this kernel is amazing. I didn't think speedmod could get any better but apparently it got together with GBs kernel and had a baby. Monster speeds while using almost no power.

[Captivate Android Development] eSPyeL:
Interesting.
[Captivate Android Development] mcx6:
I had the same issue on RC1, after rebooting a couple times everything has settled out and is working as expected now. Hope you get yours going.

Great job on this rom eSPyeL.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
That is for me at least...not sure what others feel about it but I know of other users feeling the same after using 2.2.1 roms.
[Captivate Android Development] randy_khoo:
Now that Shaolin mentioned it, i did notice that when i open the gallery3D, it seems that the pinch to view displayed only the first 4 images.

I've seen it done all the pictures before.

Not sure if using SGStools can fix this...
[Captivate Android Development] randy_khoo:
YUP!

SGSTools from the Android market will fix the gallery3D, though i am not sure if it might affect other aspects of this ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] Jammn:
Hello. I'm unable to connect to my data network as I cannot create any APNs. I enter the APN information and then save but my APN list remains blank. Help!
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Paragon with speed mode k12u
[Captivate Android Development] coderunner:
Thanks for the replies, I'm going to give Paragon another try with the speedmod kernel and try osmonitor.

ps. everything at xda is yellow, lol
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Yo what up.. don't use this feature often but, anyone else having.g issues with recording audio for say like a text messege. I've tried adding audio, then selectting record audio.. no error message, just not able to complete it. Some sms apps will actually let me record and others wont. None will let me use the recording .. test it out, let me know. Thanks!

[Captivate Android Development] bentonhall:
What app are you using to take the snapshots?

EDIT: Nevermind. Found it.
[Captivate Android Development] Copronymous:
I'm using RC 5, and battery life hasn't been that great for me.

Using OSM, sensorserver_yamaha is always running. Anybody know what that is?
[Captivate Android Development] deanhatescoffee:
Just a guess, but it could be the Gallery bug. Someone else mentioned that they're still seeing the battery drain issue with Gallery, which keeps the sensor running even when it's not being used.
[Captivate Android Development] bentonhall:
Disable auto rotate and see if it goes away.
[Captivate Android Development] alaimar:
1st off thank you for the tip. Def a great way to find the drain. Would you happen to know why I'm getting android system & android settings. Setting uses about 2% and its constantly popping up.

Thanks

Mark
[Captivate Android Development] arffer:
I am also seeing the sensor using battery.

If I reboot the phone and DO NOT start up gallery, I see little if any battery usage by sensor.

But, the instant I run gallery, and then exit it, I see sensor battery usage start counting, and it keeps counting up untill I reboot the phone.

It does not start this behavior until I launch gallery the first time after a reboot.

On the off chance that I accidentally restored the buggy gallery with tibu and over-wrote the RC5 gallery, I extracted the gallery from the RC5 rom and installed it on my phone, rebooted,a nd retested. No change, as soon as I launch gallery, the sensor starts using battery until I reboot.
[Captivate Android Development] RaneMan:
Sounds like you got the gallery battery drain....you didn't happen to restore a backup of an old gallery?

ROM: Paragon RC5 1200 mhz/100hz kernel
[Captivate Android Development] arffer:
That was my first thought. When I restore with tibu, I use the 'restore missing app' option, so gallery should not have been overwritten with the buggy version.

But, just to be certain, I extracted the gallery out of the RC5 rom and replaced the one on my phone in /system/app and then I rebooted and retested.

I'm still seeing the same symptoms; little or no sensor battery usage until I first launch gallery, the the sensor battery usage keeps climbing until I reboot the phone.
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
Im thinkin its the ambiet light sensor possibly....covered sensor with hand then exposed to light and it jumped to 81% for 2 seconds. To lazy to test but try turning auto bright off
[Captivate Android Development] RaneMan:
Have you looked in spare parts at usage history? Is the time on the gallery climbing even when it's not open in there as well?

What app is it? Is there any way to take snapshots as easily as iphone? Eg hardware trick or button combo?
[Captivate Android Development] nikooe:
Anybody knows if the Bluetooth stereo headsets can be used with this rom?

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] moopile:
ShootMe for screenshots.

@ Appbrain : ShootMe

@ Android Market: ShootMe
[Captivate Android Development] moopile:
From a Google search it seems "sensorserver_yamaha" is the Compass for Auto-Rotate as BentonHall stated earlier.
[Captivate Android Development] slyguy2000:
I use an app called "ShootMe", you can get it from Market, and when you run it, and when you want to take a screen shot, you shake your phone and it takes a screen shot. Works very well.

+1 it truely is a great screen grabber!
[Captivate Android Development] slyguy2000:
I double checked mine, and Gallery is a HUGE CPU hog, and the Yamaha sensor runs for a few seconds, then settles down, and so does Gallery.

Your saying that Yamaha sensor on yours just keeps crunching and doesn't settle down after a few seconds?

When you flashed RC5, you did a master clear from stock before flashing RC5? Also, when you restore your Apps, from TiBu, how are you doing it? I don't do a batch restore, I only restore the apps that are missing.

Exceptions being, Bluetooth Pairings, BOOKMARKS, and Wi-Fi Access Points, these are Green in the list and I only restore the Data for these.

If you backup "everything" and restore "everything" you will overwrite some settings that are not 100% compatible between the ROM/Kernel builds, and can cause issues like this.
[Captivate Android Development] moopile:
I may have misunderstood you, but there is a Batch operation in TiBu to "Restore Missing Apps" (not system files)and once you select it, you can choose to do so either with or without data. I always go through the list and de-select the apps I don't want it to reinstall.
[Captivate Android Development] slyguy2000:
Time without signal 50%

is anyone else seeing this issue? I found this in the "Samsung Galaxy S I9000" forums...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=812924

if you check your "Battery Use" in "About Phone", and check "Cell standby", min has been showing "Time without signal" as 50%

This seems to also be a battery drainer. You can enable "Flight Mode" and then disable it, to rectify the issue when it happens. I noticed my phone bounces from H to 3G every few seconds on mine, and disabling the cell radio then reenable it seems to clear it for now.

I guess it's another known bug native to Android that has not been addressed yet.
[Captivate Android Development] alabamaroping:
It worked in rc4. Haven't tried rc5.

In rc4, the volume was about 25% lower on it than on wired headphones

[Captivate Android Development] bentonhall:
I was just getting ready to post this exact same thing. I have the same issue. First day of rc5 I had wireless on and connected all day. Got 22hrs unplugged and when plugged in still had 39% battery. Yesterday was not on wireless at all and got 12 hours when I had to plug in at 5%. I see it constantly switching from 3g to H and suspect this is why. I saw this once before on earlier version. Problem goes away when I manually force it to 2g. Going to try disabling HSPA and see if it helps.

Also, when I unplugged this morning, I fired up gallery just to see if I had same issue as others. Sensor history shows maxed out blue right now. Been unplugged 1hr 49 m and down to 83% battery already. Auto rotate is disabled.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
I just noticed a bit of a battery drain also. Nothing insane, but it was noticable. I dropped my backed up DCIM folder and sub folders to the phones internal SD last night, then rebooted. Today I was at full charge at 5:15am. I've done pretty much nothing but 12 texts, 2 emails and a 10 minute phone call. Battery is at %80. I opened the gallery this morning to see if the folders populated properly and let it setup thumbnails (still was on charger at the time). I see the sensorserver_yamaha running almost all the time between %1 and %4 today now. Is this the gallery drain ppl were talking about? Killing the process does nothing as someone stated earlier, just re spawns itself.

This is weird because I have always had excellent battery life with Paragon. This one has me puzzled.

edited - fat fingeritis...
[Captivate Android Development] FredOak3:
Just noticed it with mine today too, dropped from full to 87% in an hour.

I'm going to do a full charge and try the flight mode off/on and see if that improves things.

And the compass sensor is the other peg but didn't notice the big drain until today for some reason.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
My set up is such

Rc5

Jk3

Harcore k12u

Wifi sleep off when screen off

Auto rotate off

All tweaks with r

Lag fix enabled

Adw launcher
[Captivate Android Development] Copronymous:
Thanks guys.

That was the source of the 'sensorserver_yamaha". I've disabled auto-rotate, and we'll see if that helps. I've not had a problem with auto-rotate as a drain issue, so we'll see.

I also noticed the gallery has been using significant resources. I've replaced that .apk to see what happens.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Disabled auto rotate and the sensorserver_yamaha no longer flails. Not a true fix but isolated at least. I like the auto rotate
[Captivate Android Development] wonder186:
eSPyeL - Paragon is great. One if not the best ROM I have flashed. I have nearly tried them all. Thank You 7DB86384BK332811T

My first flash I master cleared and everything was excellent. Batter lasted a day or so with normal use with the 1280 100mhz kernel. Then I started messing with the other higher OC kernels but jacked my phone and had to reflash. On the second flash I did not master clear and had the gallery battery drain issue after a restore from the same files as my first flash.

I highly recommend you master clear when flash this ROM. At least it worked for me.

Thanks again eSPyeL!
[Captivate Android Development] bentonhall:
Just for the record. I did not master clear and have the gallery issue. Does anyone that did master clear have the issue?
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
I master cleared.

Went to ODIN stock

Master Clear

waited for what seemed like ever for a download link ;)

Flashed

Ran great for a few days

Added my DCIM folder with all my pics last night (thumbnails folder deleted prior to copy)

Woke up this morning with battery drain issue
[Captivate Android Development] FredOak3:
Interesting you mention adding your photos, as I didn't notice the drain until I took some pictures over the week-end which is the first photos that were added.

And I had done a Master Clear when I did the install.

I did the Flight mode off/on, turned off the compass and after an hour I went from full to 92%, that's slightly better than this morning when it went to 87% in the same time.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Yea, it was really weird and totally coincidental that it happened today when someone else mentioned it. I didn't take any pics or have any in the DCIM folder until last night. Added about a gig worth, rebooted and when I got to work, I noticed abnormal battery drain. Went along as normal with minimal use and it kept going. Read the thread and checked and that yamaha process seems to pop on and off at either %1 OR %4 every second or so. Weird...
