ok thnx bud, maybe I just have to wait a couple more weeks I'm constantly monitoring this forum with any updates when I feel it's time I may take the plunge. it's just my experienced before with ginger that holding me back but updates and changes are made so it may have improve.
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
A few teaser shots for those wondering :)
[Captivate Android Development] Jep56:
Just dropped in to see how Paragon was doing. I sure hope everything is ok with eSPyeL. Will be back if Paragon gets going again
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
Its dissapointing when i check in here and theres NOTHING goin on. This thread used to ROCK..along with the rom itself.
[Captivate Android Development] bbubelis:
Still no word from eSPyel? I hope all is well with him and his family.
[Captivate Android Development] chuby007:
Geez I hope eSPyeL is ok :D

I LOVE this rom, I mean I really love it...and since it works so good I thought I would never change it... then again yesterday the netflix app came ( for me at least, I saw it yesterday ) but it did not work on paragon :( so I installed CyanogenMod 7 (Gingerbread 2.3.4) - and there the netflix app works flawless, however the rom, is not stable (at least for me) I really would love to either see how to get netflix on paragon 6 or how to update paragon to see netflix working on it...

:(

So guys what rom are you using ? and which one that is gingerbread based could work good enough like paragon so it could it's replacemente, any info is appreciated thx !
[Captivate Android Development] mopo01:
had the same sentiments.:o have been using mikeymikes GR12 for about 2 weeks and i am trying mosiac 3 now, both seem equal to paragon with minor hic cups both run netflix
[Captivate Android Development] Jep56:
I am running Continuum v5.4.1, and to me it's flawless, fast and smooth....and Netflix is awesome.
[Captivate Android Development] TheMightyElk:
a how hard was gingerbread continuum to flash and is it as compatible and stable as paragon?
[Captivate Android Development] chuby007:
I got continum too early to say if it's as good as paragon... but I does run netflix

but it feels werid a new rom :S
[Captivate Android Development] bbubelis:
I've also made the move to Continuum and I find it very "Paragon like". It's fast, stable and offers a GPS and battery life that seems superior.

The steps to install it are not as difficult as you might believe. Just follow the steps outlined in the first Continuum post and you'll be fine.
[Captivate Android Development] Jep56:
I actually thought it was easier to install, with less steps. But I always use Tit BU as a precaution.

I think this Continuum ROM is the best right now. Plus I enjoy running something that even the newest AT&T phones don't have. :D
[Captivate Android Development] chuby007:
hey did you guys loose SMS when you moved from Paragon to Continum ? ( or any idea exactly what file is what tibu saves the SMS on ? ) thanks

Luck ran out

I bricked this morning... :mad: I had been using 1.2 for a while and was about to switch back to 1.3mhz and decided I'd be cute and use Galaxy Tuner (dumb ass) It will get to download mode, but odin does not recognize it... I'm screwed. Will not come on past ATT screen... anyone have any ideas? I welcome it. Had to buy an infuse today. I'm $480 bucks lighter... not the summer weight loss I had in mind:rolleyes:

Infuse isn't bad cappy with better camera, front camera and 90 mb (only) more RAM. I wouldn't have gotten one if I was not forced too... oh well. I got thirty days if anyone has any ideas how to unbrick, $50 reward too:D
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Connexion2005 is debricking hard brick captivates. However.. if you can get into download mode then your probably not as bad off as you think. Try restarting your computer and open Odin and try again, try a different USB port. Odin acts funky sometimes. Doesn't always work or recognize the phone first try.

By the way, hows the infuse.. that sucker looks nice. Also PM me if you want to sell your captivate! Please and thank you! :)
[Captivate Android Development] isproab:
Has anybody moved from Paragon RC6 successfully

I've read everything and I'm using Odin3 v1.00 one click root. While I've successfully put Paragon RC6 into download mode, attempting to run Odin3 does "NOTHING."

Prior to RC6, when I used ODIN3 I would immediately see the animation on the download screen start working. Since I'm attempting to move from Paragon RC 6 back to stock my phone will no longer download.

Odin3 just says "Do Not Turn Off Target" and nothing else happens. With RC 6 it is very easy to enter download mode, do I still need to take out the SD, Sim, etc?

Help, I'm stuck on Paragon RC 6 forever it now seems :eek:
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Did you try different USB ports? Also restarting the computer sometimes kicks Odin into gear. Try that. I wouldn't say your stuck on Paragon. If you got Download mode.. you should be good.
[Captivate Android Development] mjgspr95:
Infuse not bad... Imagine your cappy running paragon with an extra 90mb of RAM. I even used SGS tools to update browser with user agent. I rooted with super one click yesterday and got rid of bloat (including something called tether tracker, ;) ) Benchmarks lower than my cappy was at 1.2mhz but not bad considering no lagfix enhancements yet.

Only knock so far is pixelization (I think thats a word). Increased screen size with same pixel count creates noticeable difference on pix, web pages, and even album art.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Yeah I actually couldn't help myself.. went down to the local att store and played with one today. Man that screen is nice..soo nice.
[Captivate Android Development] mjgspr95:
Resurrected from the dead!!! AIO Tool worked. Changed back to stock. Since I had to do that figured I try a GB Rom... I'll never learn :-)
[Captivate Android Development] longr6:
Have you tried using a Jig to get into download mode? A jig is well worth the 10 dollars.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
He got it! Look up^^

..and I have to agree, a jig is worth the 8 or 10 bucks just out of sheer convenience :D
[Captivate Android Development] mjgspr95:
Yeah... That was the weird thing though I could get into dowload mode, just couldn't flash. Computer wouldn't recognize. AIO toolbox has drivers and odin packaged together.

On sgsII rom now, Symply. Can play 720 video in browser smoothly now. Never could with froyo. Everything works too.

[Captivate Android Development] woody1:
I'm trying to debug an app that I'm having a problem with. When I run log collector, I'm not getting any log data. Looks like my phone is not set up to collect log data. Is this a Paragon issue or is it caused by something else? Anybody know how I can activate log collection?

If I remember correctly it's disabled by default, but you can boot into recovery mode and re-enable it.

Clean off Phone

Hey guys quick question. My wife has been using my captivate for a while, but now she has a new phone. I want to remove all her data (mainly contacts, sms, photos, apps) from the phone so I can use it.

I hear you're not suppose to use the factory reset from within settings in fear of a soft brick when running custom roms. Can I use CWM inside rom manager to do a wipe/factory reset? Will this completely clear all her data? I still want to rock paragon but just clean the phone. :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Yeah dude.. you shouldn't soft brick from doing any sort of wipe/ reset. Honestly I have never heard of that. But yep, feel free to do any factory resets/wipes you want and not worry about a soft brick. (If there even is such a thing)
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
As stated above there is no way you could soft brick your phone from doing a factory reset in CWM. All it does is clear our your data directory and some other stuff on the internal SDCard. I suggest you go ahead and clear both Cache and Delvik Cache while you're at it and reflash the ROM as I believe eSPyeL said there's some files in the data directory that affect how well your GPS performs and doing a factory reset deletes them.
[Captivate Android Development] JustinUhhh:
I hope the dev of this is okay. I absolutely love this ROM and would love to see a 2.3.3 version!
[Captivate Android Development] xelaboy:
So I feel like I should leave a comment of gratitude. I've been using paragon since RC4. I skipped 5 because 4 worked so well. When 6 came out I couldn't resist. I've been using it happily since it came out.

I'm on the 1.4Ghz kernel and it's been perfectly stable (took some tweaking with the oc/uv)

The only thing that didn't work out of box was gps, despite the initial post saying how amazing gps was, it never seemed to work, so the other day I decided to change modems and see what that would do. I changed to the UGKC1 radio (because it was the newest one in the modem thread.) and BAM all of a sudden I'm getting 8 Satellite locks in like 15 seconds. I haven't played around with any other modems yet, but as of now I have the perfect ROM.

Though I'm saddened to not see eSPyeL adding updates as often as he used to, I am very happy that he gave me the perfect froyo rom.

As a side note, my battery life was pretty good out of box, even with the 1.4Ghz kernel. It became HELLA AMAZING after I installed juice defender. I highly recommend that app. I'm on the free one and it's perfect for me.

tl;dr Best Froyo ROM ever, if gps doesn't work try the UGKC1 modem.
[Captivate Android Development] gandalf21502:
I am still using Paragon RC6...I have been watching the forums and been tempted to go to a 2.3.3(4) rom. I just love the stability of Paragon and just can't do it...yet...;)
[Captivate Android Development] woody1:
OK, much as I've enjoyed using this rom, it looks like development is dead. So, I'd like to hear some opinions on what roms other people are using and what's the best replacement for Paragon? First priority is that must be stable.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
I liked the Ultimate ROM a lot. I felt that was a good alternative to Paragon when I was running froyo ROMs. Feels good n smooth :)

Continuum 5.5 with talon 2.1 kernel

Sent from my 2.3.3 Ext4 Fresh Ginger Blue equipped Samsung Captivate. Yea I get 2000+ on quadrant. Yea ive pulled 5.17 mbps down from a tower. I appreciate XDA helping me turn this phone into a beast.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Most GB Roms seem fairly stable. There are a few Kernel bugs that need to be worked out still but existz seems to be hard at work on those with his Talon Kernel. I'm currently on Mosaic III Diet by Team Phoenix but they're getting ready to release Mosaic IV sometime next week hopefully which will be based on JV9. By default it comes with xcal's Kernel but you can easily flash Talon.
[Captivate Android Development] FredOak3:
Tried the GB ROMs but battery life SUCKED!

Back to froyo and running FireFly right now.
[Captivate Android Development] Jep56:
I have been running Continuum for about 5 weeks, and it's boring....by that I mean, I have no problems with sppe, stablility or gps. It's a fantastic ROM! As good as Paragon RC6 was for Froyo, Continuum is as good or better for gingerbread. IMO!
[Captivate Android Development] mopo01:
Have you tried CM7 only or have you tried waatsa or mikeymikes. it seems that the cm7 had terrible battery life while these others that are jvh jvo based have as good if not better battery life. there are some known charging issues but seems to ease off with time
[Captivate Android Development] FredOak3:
Tried CM7, Mosaic, Continuum and tried different corresponding kernels with each.

The best battery life I could get was 12 hours, the worst 6 hours.

And I did a bump charge, cleared battery stats on each to make sure.

On most of the Froyo ROMs I'd get 18-24 hours. Now it may be due to having an early captivate (1007) or some other factor, but as much as I liked the feel of GB it didn't have the longevity I need.
[Captivate Android Development] gandalf21502:
I have been looking closely at Cont. 5.5 That 'may' be my next jump. I can say this, there has been no development of Paragon for a good while, and people still come 'hoping' for more...that say's a good bit...BEST 2.2 ROM I used!
[Captivate Android Development] nate25:
ive been using mosaic 3 diet rom and i am happy with it. i will stick with this rom for a little while and go to the next best one. paragon was an awesome rom and i loved it. one thing that stuck out was i could overclock very high and i liked that cuz i overclock computers. maybe one day the op will be back hope hes alright.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Just thought I would mention TKGlitch has a kernel that has unbelievable stability. I couldn't get stable past 1.3GHz with Paragon, 1.4GHz with the escapists kernel...and now I'm up to 1.6Ghz with tk's kernel. Fully stable! (His kernel is only for MiUi and CM7 though)
[Captivate Android Development] JustinUhhh:

Question for one of the devs, what are normal donation amounts? I realize they vary, but I have kind of a set modest amount that I figure isn't bad if most that are using this stuff were to chip in the same amount the devs would be taken care of pretty well.

Obviously feel free to respond via PM or not at all. I just don't want to seem a cheapskate
[Captivate Android Development] DrDubzz:
I dunno, I consistently score between 17.4 and 17.8

3g problems

Hi guys so far this roms is very fast and for a change I was able to get my first satellite lock on my captivate.

but I have a problem I can't get 3g on it, I only get 2g ( edge ), is there any switch I do not know of ?

Thanks !

( and yes I see a E on the indicator on stock 2.2 I used to see a H and it was much much faster, same location):p

You probably have to add APN (Access Point Names) under Settings -> Wireless and Network -> Mobile Networks.

You need your carrier's APN settings (name, username and password usually do. User and password are generic, same for all carrier's customers, I believe.

Blinky?

Hey. Hate to ask a stupid question... is "Blinky" what makes my 4 buttons at the bottom (menu, home, back, search) flash when I have a message? My Captivate never did that with Eclair and I hated having to turn the screen on just to see if I had a message-I'm liking the flashing buttons!

Dead screen

Good morning! I had an issue with the rom this morning (RC2):

When the alarm went off to get me out of bed, the screen didn't turn on. I could hear the alarm sound clearly, but had to remove the battery to get the screen to come back. The phone had been charging all night, and I'd enabled overclocking and some undervolting.

I'm planning to flash RC3.0 today, but can leave it at RC2 if there's anything folks here want to see first - whatever happens, I'll have aLogcat save logs to the SD card every couple of ours overnight so I don't lose out on any potentially useful log messages.

Thanks for the great ROM!
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Usually this is related to UV settings from what I have seen...maybe you went to low.
[Captivate Android Development] juheimbu:
I thought I was pretty conservative - didn't go lower than -75 for any clock speed, but maybe that's it. I didn't set the config permanently, so I'm don't have any oc/uv happening, at the moment. We'll see how it goes tomorrow morning.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
There's an issue with GB where sometimes the Android OS will suck the life out of your Battery. A way to "fix" it is to pull the battery out and wait for a bit then put it back in. Real solution? Not really sure...
[Captivate Android Development] skizzz:
I've been keeping an eye out for the GB roms, but the power issues still holding me back.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1039696

I mean, if i don't keep an eye on my phone it will just die one me?

And the fix is to remove the bat?

For this and this alone, it discourages me from going full GB rom.

Maybe eSPyeL is working on a fix for it, thats why he hasnt posted anything and keeping us waiting.... well, who knows?

On another note, whats the current opinion on Serendipity VII?

Reading through it looks like Serendipity VII has the same battery issues as the other GBs, I was al set to try it until I read through the posts.

Still want to go to GB but pulling the battery umpteen times a day is not what I call stable.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Generally once will fix it. I've had the issue happen to me once a few days ago since I installed Mosaic III Diet Mid-May. Haven't had issues with it since.
[Captivate Android Development] k818mn1:
I switched from Paragon RC6 to try out some GB ROMS a couple of weeks ago. None of the ones I've tried have been as reliable as Paragon.

CM7 - dreadful battery, GPS did not work at all.

Continuum 5.5, Mosaic III Diet, Apex 6.5 - all worked well except for occasional Sleep of Death (once or twice a day), where the phone would just not wake up from sleep unless I pulled the battery. All these ROMs exhibited the SoD, even with the latest Talon kernel with no overclocking/undervolting. Deal killer for me.

I'm currently on Serendipity VII - works well, no Sleep of Death. BUT I have caught the Android OS bug which drains the battery like crazy. Rebooting fixes it temporarily until the next time. Still annoying.

So if you're looking for a reliable phone, stick with Paragon. If you like tinkering (and most people on this forum would be) then try a GB ROm or too. Just be prepared for a few issues.
[Captivate Android Development] skizzz:
I hear ya dude.

Paragon it is.

With Mosaic III Diet were you getting the SoD with xcal's kernel too or did you immediately switch to Talon?

[Captivate Android Development] baghera1979:
I was on Paragon for quite a while, then decided to try GB. Been on Contiuum since its inception to GB and have never had problem with lag, SoD or anything like that. Granted there is somewhat of a battery drain, but not as bad as ive seen on some of the other GB ROMs. Word is that Cezar is working on a 2.3.4 GB contiuum. 2.3.4 supposedly fixes the battery drain. Might wanna check it out if you havent already.
