I CWM flashed the 2048 script and it did not "stick". I then downloaded Script Manager from the market and told it to load the script at boot as root. Works fine.

Sent from somewhere with my Cappy/ParagonROM/OpenVPN
[Captivate Android Development] gorgy76:
I just do it in CWM with the 4mb patch I'm just lucky it stick directly with first flashed.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
I'm not sure how accurate the results are from the SDTools since it does use the internal SDCard rather then the external, but I get my best results with SDTools from having a 4Mb Cache. You should play around with the different sizes and find one that works best for you.
[Captivate Android Development] mjgspr95:
It was above my pay grade...:confused: I just bought the 99 cent app sd speed boost and I can toggle it easily and save to boot. I notice Read spead increased significantly (according to SD tools app) Gallery definitely opens faster. Seems no noticeable difference once past 2mb...
[Captivate Android Development] mjgspr95:
Check your ability to download from market after changing sd r/w speed. I had to download the swype installer again (wiped back to factory yesterday) and the download would not work. Couldn't download opera from the market either (thought browser may be issue). I changed back sd r/w back to 128 and downloaded swpe easily...
[Captivate Android Development] gorgy76:
no problem here. works just as it should.
[Captivate Android Development] mjgspr95:
My set was 2048, 1024 didn't work either. 512kb worked for downloading opera form market. Somewhere in between may work, but I'm just going to leave at 512.
[Captivate Android Development] gorgy76:
at least your cache has tripled than the stock one. are you on stock paragon rom and kernel? it seems our phones still has different taste on what it likes.
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
SD fix comes with the newest onix kernel. FYI :)
[Captivate Android Development] Drew489:
Can't seem to get swype to install...what am I doing wrong?
[Captivate Android Development] gorgy76:
Try clearing all your caches including dalvik cache in cwm and reboot your phone then try again. did you install sd fix on your phone someone post awhile ago with same problem. is your previous swype app already uninstalled? it could cause conflict also. it is a system file so you need uninstaller root or any unistaller with root access to remove previous apk for you to successfully install the new swype apk.
[Captivate Android Development] mjgspr95:
yup, running Paragon 1.3ghz. It may be because I used the app instead of the file fix others did.
[Captivate Android Development] GTIVRon:
Not going to post quotes or call out names... but I think it's pretty rude to come into a ROM thread and start advertising about other ROMs and Kernels... :(

Just saying.....

Anyway, I'm going to have to try that fix. I have tons of pictures on my external SD card and loading gallery or even the viewer takes forever.

Also, on a side note.. does anybody have an aftermarket "Gallery"? I have found picture viewers etc.. but none of them work as nicely as the Gallery app. What I'm mainly interested in is the ability to hide certain folders, yet have easy access to them with stock gallery functionality. Right now i'm using the .nomedia fix. The problem is that then the only way to get access to those folders is to use another program to access them, and none of those other programs I've tried have a smooth functional image viewer. Gallery won't load the files to scroll through them if I chose to open the image with the Gallery, and other programs like Astro don't have fullscreen or zoom or functions in their image viewers.

Basically I'd like easy access to all the theme related files and other pictures (wallpapers, icons, artwork files like ones associated with music files/folders etc) and be able to use Gallery to go through them, but really don't need it showing up on the main Gallery...
[Captivate Android Development] Jep56:
I wasn't advertising any ROMS or suggesting any, just comparing. Don't like it, don't read it. I've used Cognition, Serendipity, Phoenix, Andromeda, Supernova, and always come back to Paragon RC6. Just offering opinions on others.
[Captivate Android Development] Drew489:
Fixed...thanks. Had to reboot and used Super File Manager. No cache wiping needed.
[Captivate Android Development] GTIVRon:
It's amazing how many issues are fixed with a reboot.

It does make sense though. When I frist started really customizing my phone (widets and other apps) I ran into so many problems. So lately I've been rebooting whenever I install/uninstall/re-install/update widgets and apps. I guess it falls somewhere along the lines of needing to modify files currently being used. I guess it's similar to windows always needing to reboot to "complete the installation process" and involves writing to files (probably via a bootup script) before they get loaded.
[Captivate Android Development] gorgy76:
yeah I do always rebooting my phone whenever I downloaded apps or flashing something or changing tweaks because I noticed my phone would run better restarting it. I always make it a habit also to clear caches whenever I modify system settings. I thought I was the only one doing this but glad to hear I'm not alone. lol
[Captivate Android Development] switters1:
We are all fans of Paragon. I don't think there is anything wrong with discussing your experience with other ROMs with other paragon users.

Considering the range of experiences people can have on a given ROM, I value the opinions of others who have also had a good experience on paragon. This means my phone is more similar to theirs than somebody who is having a bad experience on paragon.

Given that development has slowed down on paragon I very much value candid opinions on what else is out there. I don't think this type of discussion devalues paragon or disrespects espyl in the least.

We all know we'll be back sooner or later :)
[Captivate Android Development] mjgspr95:
Speaking of reboot... SD change working now at 2mb, lol. Could have sworn I rebooted earlier...
[Captivate Android Development] GTIVRon:
A single lined post saying "XXXXX is a cool ROM" in no way does a comparison or give any information in regards of this ROM.

If you want to know what else is out there, then click the "Captivate Android Development" link right under the control bar when on here, and look for the multitudes of threads with "[ROM]" preceding the title.

I never intended to start a discussion on the topic, was just throwing that thought out there because, personally, if i had spent hours of my own personal free time to provide something like Paragon to hundreds of people, I wouldn't bother to continue when in the thread dedicated to the ROM people keep talking about how cool this and that ROM is. That's why those ROMs have their own respective threads.

I'm done talking about this matter now. Like said, was just pointing that out, not starting a discussion.
[Captivate Android Development] Jep56:
Paragon RC6 is a cool ROM!

Also, every ROM I've downloaded, I've also donated to the developer.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Hey Paragoners... Just wanted to drop in and say hey. Hope eSPyeL is doing well. I miss Paragon from time to time and thought I would drop in and check on development. No news is good news as they say;)
[Captivate Android Development] GTIVRon:
Been running RC6 without a hickup since release. Only things i've changed is UV settings, launcher, and theme. Also did the SD card speed fix and the pre-GB rageagainstthecage exploit fix. Rest is just apps/widgets. Also looking forward to what eSPyel does next.. not sure what can be improved on this ROM (other than including the sd card speed fix and the exploit fix).
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Gingergon ;)

*edit* Or just an update whatever's the newest 2.2.X as well as updates to some of the kernel tweaks (Voodoo Snd for example)
[Captivate Android Development] Drew489:
Speaking of other ROM's.

Hi, my name is Zach and I'm a flash addict and I've been flashing ROMs daily for nearly a year now.

Anyway, I'm liking Paragon but thinking of trying out Firefly...anyone gone to and fro? Pros, cons?

I honestly really like Paragon with...

1. Fugu fixes

2. PlumbBob GPS Fix

3. LCD Density to 180

4. Rage antispyware fix

5. Blue/black theme

But always interested in trying something new. Thoughts?

annoying notification tone

Hey how can I disable the tone that plays when I receive a message or email while I am on the phone. I get many messages and make many calls to clients and we both can hear the constant beeping. Thanks in advanced guys!
[Captivate Android Development] gorgy76:
disable notification sound from the sound setting from menu. if you don't want notification from messaging open messaging app hit menu then settings, navigate it will show you notification box to check or uncheck if you do not want notifications as to email what app did you used? there must also be a setting their from its menu to disabled it.
[Captivate Android Development] GTIVRon:
Settings>Call settings>All Calls>Alerts on call... I believe. Choose either off or vibrate.

Onix kernel works VERY well with Paragon. ;)

Sent from Paragon Optimized
[Captivate Android Development] gorgy76:
I've run onix before but my phone is not that fast as with paragon kernel so I switched back. Although it's a good kernel. I can run 1.5 ghz with it but feel even kinda slow all benchmark were down even with higher clock somewhat comparable to 1.2ghz in paragon. it seems my phone is comfortable and spoiled with paragon.
[Captivate Android Development] GTIVRon:
Paragon is probably the best Kernel for this rom..

topi either doesn't realize what faster/better is, or hes being prick regarding my earlier post.
[Captivate Android Development] GTIVRon:
I guess we'll see these from him every 4 pages or so...
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
I like how Onix performs with Paragon RC6. That is all. If you dont like it dont run it. Its simple as that. No ones tryin to be a prick concerning earlier posts (wtf) Im puttin it out there so people that havent tried it may want to give it a whirl. Im RECOMMENDING onix because: it is based off newer version of speedmod than Paragon kernel, has vodoo 7, makes gallery faster due to sd fix, provides additional tweaks and options through new blue onix recovery, and like rc4 provides multi overclock options without having to swap kernels.

Sent from Paragon Optimized
[Captivate Android Development] GTIVRon:
great info thanks

I'm sure ill read about again in a few pages.
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
No problem! And howabout you just skip that post next time smart guy ;) Ya know ronnie, this is the Paragon forum. We all like this rom. We come in this forum to discuss various different elements. Improvements, updates, settings etc. No one has made you the Paragon kernel defender. If you do not like the Onix kernel, then it is your right to not use it. When i check the thread in the morning and see that ive been called a prick for liking a different kernel and recommending it, it tends to piss me off. So come in this forum and be productive/helpful. Not abusive because you prefer a different setup. Thanks and have a great day.

[Captivate Android Development] Jep56:
Thanks for the info, I'm reflashing back to Paragon tonight! Been running Supernova, but it seems that anything over 1.0 ghz becomes unstable on my phone with that ROM. Oops, mentioned anoth ROM, sorry Paragon Cop!

Anyway, Paragon seems to be the fastest and most stable I've used. And I will mention, I've used Cognition, Phoenix, Supernova, Serendipity, Andromeda, to name a few. I am not as tech savvy as most here, but I know what has and has not had the best performance, for me anyway.

I hope I used enough verbiage this time to satisfy the self-appointed Paragon cop.
[Captivate Android Development] GTIVRon:
nevermind... i guess we can use this thread to discuss how awesome everything else is... since that's productive and helpful to the paragon rom.......

Clever.. eleventy zillion internets for you...

Phone numbers with ?

Hi

When dailing using phone pad lets say I am searching for john and I enter 5466 I see 2 listings one with John <xxx?xxx?xxxx> and other with xxx-xxx-xxxx.

I know the 2'nd entry is the correct one from the contacts. I dont see the first listing in the contacts or any where not sure where its coming from.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Do you see any icons to the right of their name in the Contacts app?
[Captivate Android Development] vtrao:
All my contacts are sync with gmail account. I see a "g" I didnt merge any accounts
[Captivate Android Development] GTIVRon:
When it comes to contacts.. Google has the s**tiest most re****ed way of syncing with our phone's platforms. It brings in EVERYTHING from google (even spam e-mail or subscribed e-mails' names get brought in, like from newsletters and such). It gets worse every time I need to redo my phone and sync. If you want to see what a mess your contacts really is, go to create text message then hit the Contacts button. So much crap in there. I tried to start merging the contacts, but now I'll have a contact with the same phone number in there 3 times. I also haven't seen any way to delete all the junk and only have the phone hold the contacts you want. Best for now is to go into contact list and set to only show contacts with phone numbers... but that only affects when you see when you hit contacts app, nothing else.

The only way I can see how to fix it is to set up ALL your contacts MANUALLY in Gmail under a "My Contacts" folder. Then delete all your contacts off your phone, and when you sync it will pull only that My Contacts part from google. I have too many contacts to spend the time setting this up, so I have given up on having a clean streamlined organized contact list.

apk to minimize screen brightness

apk here guys to minimize screen brightness might be useful conserving battery when watching movies or to minimize glare specially at night. Just use it as a widget. Easily tap toggle to disable or enable. You can also install it from the market for free. credits goes to the dev.
[Captivate Android Development] GTIVRon:
Does it just control brightness? I got that extended power control and set custom levels, using auto mainly, but you just kind cycle through preset brightnesses.. Does this app do anything differently?
[Captivate Android Development] gorgy76:
it lowers brightness more compare to the lowest brightness in our cappy. it is useful specially in a very dark place or at night. I don't know how it suits for you but so far I'm liking it.
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
What you need to do is turn off auto sync before you sign in to your google account and then turn off the contact sync option for google then turn auto sync back on. This is for intitial setup after flashing.

You also need to go into to your contacts display options and disable all show options other than phone, all contacts, ie; sim, google, etc. Be sure and back any sim contact up and the clear the sim contact as every ti you flash the sim contacts are added to your google contacts again and again, etc.

Now select settings and select set save to phone as the default save position.

Now you need to edit your contacts via the phone until you've gotton rid of all the merged contacts, duplicates with the first and last saved as 2+ (thanks google), etc.

Now export your cleaned up list to your sdcard. Back this export up to your pc as well just in case. When you import contacts after flashing just select the .vcf file on your external sdcard, sadly it does not save created groups info, just the default groups but all contacts will be there. you'll have to make them again.

DO NOT turn on google's contact auto sync unless your want convoluted, triple+ repeated contacts again or you have done the fix GTIVRon outlined in the quote. Mail and calendar are fine for auto. I always make sure auto sync is of before I sign into google after flashing and then disable just google contacts auto sync before re-enabling the phones auto sync and no longer have to deal with google's horrendous contact support.

Before editing my contacts as described above I had some contacts that had over 8 joined contacts that were either exactly the same, first name first and then another with last name first, false gmail addresses that google made up and/or had a one added to the number. When I would sync my contacts to my blue ant ST3 it would import over 600+ contacts even though I actually had less than 100. Now it imports just over 100 including the At&t numbers. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] Jep56:
Tried the rest, now I'm back to the best. Paragon RC6 with the blue/black theme and Paragon 6-1300 kernel. I liked the color scheme of Supernova, but anything over 1000, on my phone, was not stable.

One question, though. when running TBU, it saved one of the Supernova wallpapers, and reinstalled it as my wallpaper. This is fine by me, I love the way it looks, but where does the system store this image? Just in case I switch and want to keep this one as an option?

Contacts: I use Google exclsuively! And am always synched. at first I had the duplicate problem, going both ways! On my phone and Google account. I had to go in and physically fix my Google account, which was easy. I deleted all the contacts, and imported my contacts from my Outlook account ( I hate Outlook). Once I did that, I had single contacts again, then I synched up with google, and it has been fine ever since, like 6 months or so! Under Contacts/ Display, I keep SIm and Phone off.

Thanks, once again to eSPeyL for this ROM, it's near perfect, and the best I've tried to date.
[Captivate Android Development] Jep56:
Contacts:

I just checked again. Under Contacts/ Display Options... I have everything UN-CHECKED! But I am always synched to Google!
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Settings > accounts > select your google account, uncheck the sync options. That will at least stop you syncing with google.... if thats what you want...
[Captivate Android Development] Jep56:
No, that's my point, I am synched and do not have the duplicate problems. I am synched but under Display Options I have nothing checked.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
thats just weird then. something has to be checked for something to show you would think. Nothing checked, nothing would show... I guess you can add them all to a group, delete them all then sync google again and see how that goes.. really odd though
[Captivate Android Development] Jep56:
I just assumed I was synched in the cloud. But since I've had it this way, I can add or update either from my phone or PC and both update!

I have my gmail account synched for calender, contacts and email. But for the Display Options for contacts, under each tab, Phone, SIM, Facebook, etc. I have ALL of those UN-CHECKED.

Under the Google tab I have only the "System Group: My Contacts" checked. And I have not had any problems (knock on wood).
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
OK, too much work and not enough sleep = my poor reading skills I guess

You have it set up properly. That's how I have mine and never have to worry about my contacts. Only select My Contacts and you won't see all the sales@craigslist*&^@&*#^@*(&*&^@$ crap lol

Man.. glad today is almost over.. finish up this migration and I am walking out of my office for the weekend.. I won't even go there for homework.. this little room scares me lately

[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
The images are usually in apks under /system/app/ Framework.apk has a default then there a wallpapers in whatever launcher .apk you are using as vell as visualization.apk. As far as your current one in use, I'm not sure, mine are actuall stored on myexternal and show up inthe gallery.

Your basically doing the same thing only your turning off the phone and the sim, I turn off google and the sim and we both arrive at the same fix for googles's problem. I turn off google though because it isn't my main mail and I don't like it making gmail addresses off of my contacts, they show up on my contact searches even though there is no such address, it just takes their name, throws it up as the first option under a search and inevitably I end up click the false email address as the recipient (my bad there I know :rolleyes: ) of an email and I wonder why they haven't got it. Minor I know but very annoying. :cool:

"No Service" after charging overnight

I am on RC6, no OC/UV. I've been experiencing a problem with my phone going into "No Service" after taking it off the charger in the morning. When I first unplug the charger, it is fine, shows "full", but then drops right down to 97%. (I understand that's a known bug). After it reaches 97% and the screen shuts off, I wake it up and I've lost my connection and shows "No Service". I have to reboot the phone to get service. I've tried a different modem. Was using JK4 and now I'm on KC1. Any ideas? I've searched the forums and haven't found anyone else having this issue.

You may have to backup and reflash with a wipe. Save all your pics etc... Ive never heard of that issue with paragon

Sent from Paragon Optimized
[Captivate Android Development] gorgy76:
You either had a bad flash or their some other files lurking in your system that make conflict with the new rom. try to back up your important files and apps, clear all caches and dalvik caches and do a factory reset in CWM. Leave it as is, after you observed that it's working fine install your files and apps back taking a closer look with every app you have and how your phone behaves. If that doesn't solve start from scratch and do master clear from odin.

For you guys using contacts only on the My Contacts checked from google, do me a favor?

Go to Create new msg (texting) then hit the contacts button. Does it then still show only what it shows when you hit the contacts app? Mine shows all the newsletter stuff, craigslist e-mails, spam e-mails, random e-mail addresses that don't have phone numbers associated with them etc. while when I go to contacts from my launcher it doesn't list all of them, just ones with phone numbers as selected in display settings. (even through there is not contact in there without 1-7 (g) symbols).
