That blue one is EXACTLY what im lookin for. Thats the ISH. Now if we could incorporate some blue in notification bar it would be curtains
[Captivate Android Development] scuba_d:
im changing the colors in paint.net, using the image adjustment tools. i can only change the color of the entire picture cause I forgot how to isolate objects. its been a long time since I was editing pictures and photos everyday. but it will comeback to me, then I can make really cool custom ones again.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Oh sounds easier then what I was thinking. Is that a Paint.net plug-in or just part of Paint.net (haven't used it in a while...)
[Captivate Android Development] scuba_d:
it is a standalone program. more features than paint. I also have photoshop but this program is a little more idiot (me) friendly.
[Captivate Android Development] Christo_69:
Now that looks really cool. Thanks a bunch scuba_d :)

Willing to help with new boot animation

eSPyeL... the least I can do is help create a Paragon boot animation as my thanks for your awesome ROM!

Can you give me specifics on the file type, resolution and dimensions you need for this? I'd like to give this a shot and create something for your consideration.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Sorry I think you misunderstood my question. I was asking if the tool you used was a part of Paint.net or if it was a Plug-in you downloaded.
[Captivate Android Development] scuba_d:
oh sorry its the hue and saturation tool that is built into paint.net. my bad. brain dead this morning. :D
[Captivate Android Development] eSPyeL:
I would recommend extracting the bootanimation.zip from /system/media and looking at the structure. There are many tutorials on xda and other places as well. The dimensions are 480x800. Thanks for the offer and good luck!
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
I know how that can be. Heck I feel that way every morning.
[Captivate Android Development] deanhatescoffee:
Check this out:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/01/20/android-lovers-meet-awesome-custom-boot-animations/

This has a couple of super smooth boot animations. Notice they're actually just GIFs. (It's amazing to think that GIFs have come this far...) Just make yours the same resolution/dimension as these and (AFAIK) you should be good.

EDIT: eSPyeL beat me to it, with a better answer. Still, the boot animations mentioned in the link above are really slick. :)

Thanks for the quick reply... I'll check into it!

GPS compare update

Not into all the tech stuff with locks and sat view. This morning I used Adams GPS fix on the way to work (I have an hour and ten min ride each way). Will use Paragon GPS on the way home to see if my memory served me correctly, as I have an in dash gps on my car I dont use the phone that often. I test every once in a while for when I am traveling and renting.

Lock times are about same. Tracking seems a little slower than Paragons but def sim The only real diff I see is that when I come to a stop in traffic the screen stays stable as opposed to the Paragon GPS. I have been noticing on Paragon the screen can start spinning right and left when at a stop.
[Captivate Android Development] qynt:
Thanks deanhatescoffee here's Dysgenic's XDA thread with a couple more.
[Captivate Android Development] GTIVRon:
odd.. I think eSPyels fix on stock rc4 works fine for me..

Before flashing RC4 when I came to a stop or intersection, the GPS would show me going over it. Sometimes it would be straight, otherwise it would tell me i turned. Then it would try to reroute me etc and take forever realizing where I am again once I got going again. It also almost always screwed up on highways, telling me I took an exit, or when I did take an exit show me still flying down the highway, then tell me to make a u turn 10 miles down the road...

After RC4 it's been flawless. Might have messed up once or twice, but only in mid cities or "downtown" areas with tall buildings all the way around me.
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
Developers do what they can to improve gps....fact is the gps antennas in these phones blow. Saw the only real fix involves taking phone apart and repositioning and resoldering the wire leads. Its just a huge samsung gaff.

Security PIN woes

Okay, today I removed an account (Exchange 2007 ActiveSync) that was using the standard email app for this ROM and replaced it with Touchdown. It's still asking for the security PIN for the original email setup AND the security PIN that is supported by Touchdown. Why is the first one still active even though I removed the previous account settings? I have to enter my PIN on two different screens just to get to email! Help...
[Captivate Android Development] GTIVRon:
That seems more like a question regarding the APPS. Doubt the ROM affects that at all. But perhaps somebody using this ROM uses touchdown and can help you.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
I never used the email app in the ROM for my work email. I've only used Touchdown and never been prompted. Have you tried clearing the cache for the email app you were using? Check also for any orphan file info that may be left over.

If all else fails, RC6 should be dropping soon. Just don't restore your Touchdown when you do your app restore and set up from scratch. Not an ideal way to do it, but at least you'll be free from the issue after that.
[Captivate Android Development] 105437:
Not sure how to clear the cache for that account since I've already deleted the account... I can live with until RC6 is here and I'll just restore everything to stock and then flash RC6.

UPDATE: Went to Settings-->Location and Security-->Setscreen lock and changed it to None. Good to go!
[Captivate Android Development] chisnz:
I did change the email.apk, and didn't realise it could interact with the camera an upset it. I had tried the Galaxy Tab email again, only to find that it still had sync issues. Then I pushed back an email.apk that I know worked earlier 920KB. After your message I pushed back the email.apk 1465KB from RC5.1 and still have the same issue a couple of boots later.

But I don't want distract everyone from RC6, so let's just leave the issue for now and see if RC6 solves it anyway.

I've had this issue before and I had to reflash Paragon. I don't think there's any workaround right now.

Blue Bootanimation

What if we had the "Paragon" fade in toward the end at the top? I'm not much of an artist (as you can tell), but I put these together real quick to see what people thought. If there's interest, I could straighten them up and add them to the images (maybe appear a letter at a time and then have a final emphasis?). Do we need to ask for permissions before altering these?

Does anyone have a good paint type of program (free) that works well for this sort of editing? I got a new tablet, but the included software seems a bit limited.

Edit: If no one likes it, I won't be offended (these took literally under 5 minutes to make). Just trying to contribute a little more.
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
I really like the second one.
[Captivate Android Development] CapnPez:
I had kindof thought it would be a gradual emphasis from the first to the second to go along with the rest of the animation. Again, open to any suggestions.

If someone more talented wants to take them and make them better, that's awesome!

Try Gimp. Its free, feature packed and is available for linux and windows.

If gone kindof crazy with the converting the green to blue. I found that once the source file is cleaned up, its very easy to also create other colors as well. I currently have about 20 files converted to blue, orange, purple, yellow and silver.

Screen off

A few days ago I noticed that my screen no longer completely turns off when connected to power. It dims down automatically, but stays at the lowest brightness. Even if I use the power button to turn the screen off, about 30 seconds later it turns back on by itself to the lowest level.

There use to be a 'stay on' setting in SETTINGS-APPLICATIONS-DEVELOPMENT that would keep the screen on when connected to power. I've never used that feature, but went to check it anyway and see that option is gone.

Suggestions anyone?

lagfix

I think I screwed up and just selected yes when installing the lagfix during the first boot. So if I try flashing back to stock, does this mean I can guarantee a soft brick when using odin? I tries using odin just to install a custom boot image and bricked the phone once before. Didn't know if I needed to uninstall the lagfix just to so that?

Im on my second flash of this rom. Also if I do back before installing the lagfix next time,how do I uninstall it before?

thanks. I'll see if she likes other launchers. She's quite attached to the default so we'll see.

thanks again. :cool:

Cause I have tried both ways and I have not seen a single thing that shows me the benefits of ext4 (even though on paper it looks all great) and in fact I feel my phone has more hiccups when using ext4 than when flashing with rfs..Please note I mean flashing with rfs not converting back to rfs after installing with ext4.
