Weird...mine shows only my contacts with phone numbers, and nothing else. I use GoSMSPro. I don't know if that has anything to do with it!

However, I do have the stock "email" uninstalled and only use Gmail for contacts, calender, gmail.

I use Enhanced Email for access to my work emails (outlook), but it is not synched for contacts or calender, email only.
[Captivate Android Development] gorgy76:
working fine for me... maybe a simple reboot and cache cleaning will work.
[Captivate Android Development] GTIVRon:
Yea, I'm thinking other sms apps use the contacts from the contacts "app" and it's settings, while the stock texting app pulls it all... I guess I'll download and install GoSMS and tinker with it soon.
[Captivate Android Development] chuby007:
I cleaned caches and whatnot the 3x4 does not work, I still have the expired swype I wonder if that's the issue... do you have the updated swype or not ? thx !
[Captivate Android Development] gorgy76:
yeah I updated swype right away after mine expired since it was my primary input method.
[Captivate Android Development] Action B:
the swype says its a trial and does not work. Does anyone know why?
[Captivate Android Development] gorgy76:
yes it already has expired awhile ago, actually you can install the updated one from swypebeta.com but before that you need to register first to their site so you can download the swype installer to install the swype app. Before you install the swype app thru swype installer be sure to uninstall current swype apk and since it is a system file you need something like uninstaller root or other uninstaller with root access to successfully install updated swype apk.

While I do not need anything else and the current ROM works fine,

Maybe a quick message from eSPyel stating that no new ROM is coming would be helpful to those who keep checking for new release.

I have no issue if this ROM is the frozen last release.

Great Build

I must have flashed a dozen ROM's and kept coming back to Paragon. Until CyanogenMod gets more polished Paragon is in my opinion better than any other build. To those who ask when there will be "_", "Ask not what the developer can do for you, ask what you can do for the developer." Also remember rule one of CyanogenMod! So to the developer, what can we do for you?!

[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Well aside from give donations and positive feedback, (which a lot of us have done) there's not much else for us to do. As a flash addict you tend feed off of updates and such. While I'm using a different ROM I check this thread daily to see if there has been any updates or even any word from the developer. I hear ya and I appreciate everything these devs do and will offer help any way I can.. but again, what's else can we do.

...and this isn't CyanogenMod, just saying ;)
[Captivate Android Development] gandalf21502:
I think we all VERY MUCH appreciate the ROM that Paragon is. I have flashed others, and always returned. I have donated, and said THANKS many times. As said, not much more we can really do...

If there will be no more Paragon updates, well it will be :(...but we must move on if necessary. There just isn't, IMOP, a 'non-bug' 2.3.3 rom yet, though CM7 is starting to slowly take shape...of course would still LOVE to see a Paragon 2.3.3 rom!

Guess we would just like to know what is going on...if it's done...THANKS for all your work once again...time to move on to the next great rom.
[Captivate Android Development] GTIVRon:
Seems majority would rather flash a different ROM because it's newer, not flash a ROM for the quility and stability...

I'll be running this ROM until there is a fully featured stable daily useable 2.3.3 ROM. I don't see that happening for months though...
[Captivate Android Development] mjgspr95:
Same here... I dabbled with the latest speed mod kernel (355 free Ram w/o hd recording) a few days ago, but I'm back to my 1.3 Paragon. Happy with the speed and stability. If an official 2.3 for cappy comes out I might try that, but I don't think these others will be ready (stable and everything works) for a while.

Got bored and tried to get 1.4 paragon working (failed again) over the weekend as well... that satisfied my flashing bug.
[Captivate Android Development] Jengle:
Double ditto. This ROM has exactly what I'm looking for. Features, speed, stability. Done.

I9000 Gingerbread source is out! Does that mean possibly we could get a new Paragon soon....:D

[Captivate Android Development] Jep56:
This has been the stablest and fastest ROM I've tried. Some others were interesting, fancy color schemes, etc. One I tried was so un-stable, that I re-flashed it to see if I did something wrong. Nope, it was a jittery un-stable mess and lasted 10 minutes on my phone.

I am sticking with Paragon RC6. I've tried about 4 others since this came out and keep coming back to it. No sense in messing around anymore.

Hopefully all is well with eSPyeL, and he makes it back with updates/ improvements where needed.
[Captivate Android Development] bbubelis:
The current ROM works great....Stable and fast with great battery life and GPS. Having said that, a 2.3.3 version would be welcomed. But, if eSPyel has no plans to update, that's fine too. As long as he and his family are well, that's all that really matters.

Anyone else having compass problems? My gps is great, but any compass app I use has me like 90 degrees off, even after calibration! Could it be this ROM does not need Plumbob as a fix? I may reflash and not use Plumbob! Since this has not happened before.
[Captivate Android Development] tmng95014:
I installed and then removed PlumBob. The ROM works fine as is.
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
Same here......Paragon is the ROM of choice until CM7 really gets going. I have flashed CM7 a few times, but I always run into something that I really need or miss and end up back with Paragon. This ROM has always been my safety net.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
.. still no word from the developer??
[Captivate Android Development] mrjay711:
Has anybody had a problem with apps disappearing from there app drawer. I have a few that disappear and I reboot and they come back sometimes even when I go to the market it shows they're not there under my apps .

It looks someone was able to use 2.3.3 to upgrade their ROM. Hopefully the same will be done to Paragon.

Has anyone tried the kc1 modem with Paragon?
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
I'm not running the Paragon Rom but I am running the Paragon 6 OC kernel with the KC1 modem with great results. Been using this combo on 4 or 5 roms over the last month+ and very happy with it. GPS is great (for the Captivate), average of 3.81 Mbs down, 1.88 Mbs up; averaged from 30+ tests on different roms.

I'm in Wa, Spokane area for reference.

Over clocked @ 1200 MHz, UV -100, -100, -100, -100, -125, -125 going down from 1200 MHz respectively. Very stable with great battery life.

Currently on Dragon RC7, Sig is current. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
I'm on Firefly now, but think I'm gonna try your modem/kernel combo. I flashed kc1 a little while ago, but didn't like the lower in-call volume. Kp1 has great volume, but reduced call quality (for me anyways). I'll just keep flip-flopping until I find the perfect match........gives me something to flash until the next release of something that looks promising.
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
JQ1 works VERY nice in chicago area

Sent from Paragon Optimized
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
I will try that one too. None of the volume tweaks I found work at all. Apparently, geographical location plays a huge part...lol...I hope the Gingerbread devs keep working overtime. It REALLY looks promising.
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
I here you on the something to do, that's why I started messing with modem/kernel combos as there was nothing interesting to flash for a few weeks until DAGr8's I-9088 Dragon NKP5 anyway.

Flash and reflash is what I kept doing until I hit this combo for 2.2.1 roms, for me it just works. It took a lot of trial and error to find the right combo but it's worth it in the end to do the testing. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
Lol.......either I flash ROMs, or talk to my wife. Needless to say, SOMEONE PLEASE CREATE A NEW ROM!....lol......oops, here she comes.
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Ha Ha, no wify for me, it's just the pets which is probably worse. New Rom, have you tried the Dragon? I know it's blue but there are monochrome themes, black, red, green and even a un-themed theme for it. Really snappy and currently on the 7th RC release.

Not to hijack eSPyeL's work as I love the Paragon 6 OC kernel, just mentioning it. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] xxcaptcrunchxx:
Hey guys, could really use some help please..

My phone has recently started experiencing "sleep death".. Just today I had to power it on 3 different times within 2 hours. It's usually not this often (around one or two times a day).. I've ran Paragon since RC5..updated to RC6.. Ran great for a few months, then started this. Since the problems started, I've flashed different kernels trying to fix it.. Flashed back to stock via Oden, and flashed a new copy of RC6....but still no luck. Right now I'm on the stock kernel that came with RC6. Would this "sleep death" be caused by the ROM or the Kernel? Any ideas what might be causing this?

Also, I did have it OC/UV when the problems started... But I set it back to 1000/UV set to 0, and even removed the boot settings before I flashed back to stock to load the new RC6.. I haven't touched the OC/UV settings on this latest flash..

I'm really at a loss.. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks!

I MAY be on to something concerning these sd's. Too early to tell though im gonna test it today and see what happens. Didnt sd last night but phone locked up causing batt to die prolly due to too much uv :(

Sent from Paragon Optimized
[Captivate Android Development] gorgy76:
I only experienced twice sd's since the released of this rom and totally not attributed to this rom, the first time it does is due to too much undervolting the other one is using a more aggressive memory management which kills running android services that's not about to be stop and if you have too many apps that's running in the background that uses more memory. Try to install temp+cpu v2 app widget from the market so that you can monitor real time memory usage of your phone. From my experience only 2 attributed for sd that is more aggresive memory management and too much undervolting. Try also to monitor every app you installed maybe that's the culprit.
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
OK. Ive disabled io scheduler + roatime tweak in cwm and havent had a sleepdeath in my usual sleep death range. I usually get one right at 70% if i dont have softlocker running. Any of you having a shutdown issue try it and post results. Im really hoping that this does it because the issue is EXTREMELY annoying.
[Captivate Android Development] xxcaptcrunchxx:
Thanks for the info! It's not OV, so I'll check out the other. Right now I'm using Android Assistant for the apps.. Which app monitor would u recommend?
[Captivate Android Development] xxcaptcrunchxx:
I'll give that a try too... Thanks!!
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
No prob! Hopefully it works! Post back with any results.
[Captivate Android Development] gorgy76:
temp+cpu v2 app widget from the market its pretty simple app and very light. it tells you in real time how much ram you have so you will have a first hand knowledge about your memory usage aside from that it also monitor real time the work loads of your phone processor, battery temp. for me it is pretty useful little app.

I've got Paragon RC 6 and I'm attempting to use Odin3 to go back to stock or perform a master clear. After going into download mode from the built in menu, Odin3 just stall. It appears I can't get back to stock. Any suggestions?
[Captivate Android Development] gorgy76:
I used jf6-final-ocd-odin-rev0 not the odin3 haven't let me down. I have the file but I forgot the link maybe a simple seach could bring you there. I only used odin3 to pushed files to my phone that is not cwm flashable.

edit: I meant what version of odin did you used? my bad they are all odin3 but differ in version if you want to go back to stock here is the link to try: http://go.redirectingat.com/?id=162...acking/1370-stock-firmware-odin3-flasher.html
[Captivate Android Development] xxcaptcrunchxx:
Well, no luck on the fixes I tried this time.. Still getting SD's..

Disabled io schedule + roartime in clockwork.. Removed Android Assistant (not running any app killer now, shutting down apps manually after use). I'm running it with no OC or UV. It shut down while I was sleeping (not on the charger), then again a few hours later.. I'm not running soflocker... I would think that would eat up more battery if I did (let me know if I'm wrong)..
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
Something interesting happened to me today........when I flashed a custom ROM, my phone got extremely hot and static/popping sounds were coming from the speaker. When I flashed back to stock, all was well. Never had that happen before, anyone else ever had this issue?

[Captivate Android Development] tmng95014:
It worked out fine for me. I moved from Paragon RC6 to Continuum 5 RC1 and then RC3 from RC1. The ROM is fine for me. Have not experiencing any problem though many seem to have "charge death" issue, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1039696. This is the only outstanding issue but I have not seen it. From what I read it depends on the apps running on the phone. I only turn on auto-rotate, wifi, bluetooth, gps... when needed. This is probably the reason I have not seen the issue. I plan to use this as daily driver and have no plan to go back to Paragon or any other ROM for a while. The developer, icezar, is very responsive. I believe it is important to use a ROM that one can contact the developer in case of issue.

Sorry for this long reply/goodbye. I am not planning to be here anymore.
[Captivate Android Development] Jep56:
Thanks! Flashed Continuum, running it w/o any problems so far. Pretty quick and stable.

I will keep checking back to see if eSPyeL improves Paragon or comes up with a GB rom. If he makes a GB as nice as the Paragon, then I'll be flashin' it.

Thanks again eSPyeL and I hope all is well!
[Captivate Android Development] venomio:
I have to agree, out of the hundreds of 2.2 ROMs I've used I have stood with Paragon ever since it was released. It was by far the ROM I was the most happiest with, but I may have to move over to GR or Continuum at this stage... Really sad that I have to leave Paragon, but times-a-changing.

[Captivate Android Development] Billbo1970:
Skizzz,

I hope so. Do you hear from him outside the forum, or is this wishful thinking?

RC5 was my first custom ROM ever, and the only other flash has been RC6... I've seen no reason to try others since this one is so good & the folks in this thread are so friendly & helpful!

But... Gingerbread is very tempting (aside from the charging issue). Has anyone tried GR-12 and care to comment on it?

Bill
[Captivate Android Development] rpicaso:
I hope so, this was a kickass ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] bbubelis:
It's hard to believe that it been that long since we heard from him and that eSPyel hasn't made his triumphant return with a GB version of Paragon in tow.

I've been a Paragon user since almost day one and I'm saddened to say that I'm updating to Continuum v5.4.1.

I hope all is well, eSPyel. You provided us with a great ROM and you supported it tirelessly. Many thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
Continuum 5.4.1 is definately the way to go since Paragon seems to have shutdown. I'll continue to monitor this thread, but I doubt very seriously if I'll ever use a Froyo ROM again. Gingerbread has increased the bar beyond what I had expected.
[Captivate Android Development] Cobra302:
ok two questions, 1. on the latest paragon which i have installed, i keep getting google map force closes. i'm going to try and go thru all 475 plus pages of this thread but if someone has a quick fix that would be great. 2. where can i find the continium rom? thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] xxcaptcrunchxx:
I am also sad to see Paragon this quiet.. I loved this rom, but had to move on as well.. I'm going to keep checking back in case something sparks up again.. My hat is still off to eSPyeL, he did a heck of a job with this rom... Best Froyo rom, hands down!!! I know we all have a life outside of this phone world (well, some of us), so I completely understand if he needs to set his priorities elsewhere..

If you are wanting gingerbread, I have been running Team Phoenix's Mosaic rom for the last 3 days.. I gotta say I'm dig'n it!!

Can I delete mobile tracker, I'm in US; I think that is a EU app.

Lastly can maps be deleted or if you move from system file would it still run all the time?
[Captivate Android Development] gorgy76:
I don't think so, is everything working in there? Thus all the features in paragon works without stability issues? I still have to wait maybe a month or more as being said ginger is still more on beta stage I tried it before although good but still needs polishings. it got higher in quadrant score that seems bloated and makes you think it's fast but with linpack it's on lows. As of now I can throw anything any tasks with paragon without issues so I'm sticking with it until ginger surpass what paragon could offer the only good point in ginger is tw4 which is pretty laggy and buggy.
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
Everything is working smoothly. I havent noticed ANYTHING not working. 13-14 on linpack no oc scores higher in CPU portion of quadrant advanced. No lag ANYWHERE with xcals 1.2 kernel. Faster browser and app loading. Not to mention an absolutely STUNNING theme (GingerfireBlue) I was hardcore Paragon and still would sport it if forced to downgrade to 2.2...but in my opinion its about time to make that move.

Ps. Tw4 is not designed for single core cpu.....but the sony home launcher is amazing for me...like tw3 on roids and an extra dock :)
