Love this rom but I am having a problem where Voltage Control will stop running after about ten minutes. No error or crash message but it will suddenly not appear in task manager and if I click on the app it will say "imitializing" and be re-granted root right as if its not running. Where if I launch it, go to the home screen and then go right back to the app it will be working, running and not have to reinitialize or anything.

It also did this with SetCpu but I've learned to jot use that app anymore but maybe its something to to with apparently that control the hardware like that.

Any ideas? Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] DaveyBB:
Yeah, I've noticed a few settings on the phone that spare parts seems to override; animation and wifi sleep policy to name a few.

for anyone who likes it, I modified espyel paragon wallpaper to be a black and white pencil sketch and I think it looks pretty cool. All credit goes to espyel and his wallpaper maker. Anyone else who wants it shoot me a pm with your email. I'll send you the whole file. all you have to do is open the email on your phone, download the attached file and click set as wallpaper. all done.
[Captivate Android Development] arffer:
VC actually 'stops running' when you exit the app. It does not get removed from memory (listed in task manager) until the memory is needed for something else and the Android OS recovers that memory. VC only changes settings, it does not actually do anything that requires it to keep running after it changes the settings. Its not a service. In fact, when you use the 'Save as boot settings', it creates a script that is run upon boot that restores the settings you saved. The app isn't even needed anymore unless you want to make additional changes.

Full charge last night, did battery recalibrate and deleted battery stats, still getting 10%/hr. I do, however, believe that the KP1 modem has better volume.

Also running the 100hz kernel. I've learnt to charge during the day so that's my solution for now.

Still the love the ROM... Waiting impatiently for v6
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
You can attempt to disable/remove unneeded apps such as Blinky and I can't remember the other one(s) others mentioned they disabled/removed and got better battery life... I however did disable Blinky and get better battery life.
[Captivate Android Development] GTIVRon:
Doesn't BT drain a fair amount of battery?

I'm still on the latest version of RC4... but wen Idle I drop about 10% per like 8 hours.

I have pretty agressive (I think) UV settings:

1000mhz: -75

900mhz: -75

800mhz: -100

600mhz: -100

400mhz: -125

200mhz: -125

100mhz: -150

Quick question too... Does the switching for H to 3G back and forth constantly affect battery life? If so, how do I make it just stay on 3G?

My only complaint is how fast my battery drains when I'm using the phone. Like when I'm streaming with Pandora, I'll drop about 15% an hour with display off. I do turn it on every once in a while when Pandora stops playing... I think this happens when it switches for 3G to H and then back to 3G. Whenever it's switching back and forth like 10 times a minute Pandora just doesn't play for crap. That's why I want to lock it to 3G and see if that helps.

Also waiting excitedly for RC6. Already found a nice bikini/butt pick to go with that theme.

I get a bonus deposited next week, so expect a donation then espyel. Thanks for the continued hard work. I'm so happy yours was the first ROM I chose (after tons of reading) and that it's so awesome (in performance and looks, mainly liked it because of your theming) that it's the only one I think I'll have on my phone.
[Captivate Android Development] bentonhall:
Yeah, after the default 5 minutes of blinking, it leaves the lights lit up unless you acknowledge the notification or set it to turn them off. If you don't notice it, it can use battery fairly quickly but I do like the feature so what I'm trying is to set it up more like my work blackberry. I have it set to flash the lights for .75 seconds and do this every 10 seconds. I set the time to blink to 999 minutes and then turn the lights off after this time. That way they will never stay solid and I still get notified and hopefully use less battery by just blinking instead of staying lit after the default 5 minutes of blinking has passed. If not I'll lower the time to blink to like 30 minutes or just disable all together.
[Captivate Android Development] Jammn:
Blinky already disabled... thanks for the advice
[Captivate Android Development] bentonhall:
It does use a lot of battery on mine while having HSPA enabled. If you want to disable it, in the dialer type *#301279#, take option 2 to change, and option 1 for release 99. Using 2g when possible will give the best battery and is what I use most of the time unless tethering or downloading updates to Paragon. :) If you want to do this, there are a couple different ways, but the easiest for me is to type *#2263# in the dialer, take option 3 for GSM and Option 1 for All. If you want to revert back type *#2263# and take first option for automatic, if you want to re-enable HSPA, type *#301279#, take option 2 to change, and option 3 for release 6. If you can find SGS Tools, it has these codes in it that you can click on but I couldn't find it on the market anymore, but found it with a google search.
[Captivate Android Development] mopo01:
I find when idling and not needing data i turn data off and then i can go 8+ hour and lose maybe 30% battery. I turn on as needed and then shut off. :)
[Captivate Android Development] bentonhall:
eSPyeL, if you are still looking for feature requests, if you could somehow figure out how to toggle between 2G and 3G with a widget or even automatically while on Standby would be awesome! Think you would be the only Captivate ROM that I have seen to to have this also. From what I've read it seems as there are android limitations that prevent this but thought I would throw it out there. Think someone else several posts back asked for the toggle as well.

Regardless, great job on the ROM. Can't wait to see whats in RC6.
[Captivate Android Development] FredOak3:
Thought I'd throw this out there as we bask in the joy for root/flash..

[Captivate Android Development] calisonic:
Just a note: I have noticed on MANY roms that if the "battery saving mode" is enabled in settings, the battery will drain FAST.

Perhaps a conflict of some sort.
[Captivate Android Development] alabamaroping:
no problems

I have not had any issues using mine (motorola s9 HD) on internal music or pandora
[Captivate Android Development] Jammn:
HHhhhmmmm... I know it's enabled on my phone... gonna disable and check it out... will report findings..
[Captivate Android Development] Jammn:
Whoopeee... and update that that exists, then doesn't... I have no interest in what ATT/Samsung delivers... will stick with the ROMs here on XDA, I'm sure they will be FAR SUPERIOR!!!

eSPyeL, designgears and the many others... you guys ROCK... SAMSUNG/ATT should be paying you guys to write their ROMs for them!!!

Without the XDA community everyone may have flushed their cappy down the lew long ago.
[Captivate Android Development] nikooe:
Hey guys, I'm on Paragon 5.1 and my sound files for ring tones are all doubled for some reason.

How can I fix this.
[Captivate Android Development] slyguy2000:
I'll bet you have the folders on both /sdcard/ringtones/ and your /sdcard/external_sd/ringtones

you only need them in one place, if you have a backup folder on your external and a copy on internal storage, you will see duplicates like that.

Hope this helps.

(Issue) Bluetooth Startup Force Close

Made the jump to a custom ROM after 6 months suffering under stock last Friday. Rooted and upgraded to Paragon 5.1. Smooth transition. Thanks, job well done and looking forward to RC6.0.

Only issues for me:

1. Starting Bluetooth gives me an error on startup: "Sorry! The application OPP (process.com.android.bluetooth) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. [Force Close]. Also, while using Vlingo I get massive amount of feedback whistling when giving a command using Bluetooth.

2. Pull down status menu - a little faint, hard to read sometimes.

In other words... mice nuts! All I can say is I really enjoy the phone now. Thanks for all the hard work.

Jengle
[Captivate Android Development] soritong:
I can't comment on the Bluetooth thing but I think it was mentioned on RC6 that the notifications will not have a black background, which seems to be causing the faintness.

The only issue I have, not necessarily with 5.1 but 5.0 in general, is that the pull down menu just seems downright slow.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
The usual cause of FCs that shouldn't be happening (like in your case) is the restoration of system apps/data or because of conflicts with data that should have been cleared but wasn't (ie. you didn't do a Master Clear/Hard Reset before Flashing your ROM). Easiest way to solve it is to

1. Backup all your apps and data

2. Dial *2767*3855#

3. Rebooting into recovery and reflashing Paragon

4. Restoring only missing apps and user data (assuming you use TiBu to backup your apps and data)

5. Restore the data of the items highlighted green individually (as needed)

6. Reboot your phone

Problem should be gone.
[Captivate Android Development] slyguy2000:
+1 on that...I'm more interested in RC6 than a bloated up, and watered down AT&T ROM...
[Captivate Android Development] geminihc:
interesting! let us know ur results.
[Captivate Android Development] keredini:
I noticed that too...then I flashed jumba's neon gt theme and it went away
[Captivate Android Development] Capt. Iv8:
read another post on here about the battery mod only showing approx. 35% during charging unless it reaches 100% charge. i can confirm this.

same seems to apply during discharge (when cable is not connected) the segmented circle stays at 100% but the numbers change.

Edit: i'm not sure if this would be available in settings somewhere but when I use the internet browser, It would be nice to have -/+ signs for zooming (in increments, i'm aware I can just double tap for a close zoom)
[Captivate Android Development] scuba_d:
the speech synthesis was the app i was missing. all good now. everything is perfect now. wasn't even the roms fault. Great job espyel
[Captivate Android Development] eSPyeL:
First part is correct. The charging animation doesn't go all the way up. Already fixed the xml that was causing the bug. Next update will fix that. The correct percantage does show on the lockscreen while charging.

Not sure what you are seeing with the cable unplugged though. :confused: The battery indicator does change.
[Captivate Android Development] bullinthechinashop:
My external speaker doesn't work.

And the phone doesn't ring when somebody calls me.

Never mind I got it working.

There was a post about this on the AT&T forum and the person solved it by pushing down on the speaker. Pushing on the speaker didn't do anything but pushing on the piece of plastic next to the speaker got the sound working again

Any recommendations for undervolting while overclocked?
[Captivate Android Development] deanhatescoffee:
I've noticed black text on the dark background with Lookout's ongoing notification, and Plume's Twitter notifications. TBH, it's annoying, but the speed of this ROM is worth it.
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
Serendipity ROM has dark theme all over the place and I have not seen this issue there. Not saying go there but just saying this would be a big plus in this ROM. All the cosmetics are nice but if you cannot read things on the screen, it is not quality. Go for 100% quality!
[Captivate Android Development] deanhatescoffee:
From 1280 to 100, I have mine set at: -50, -75, -75, -100, -100, -125. I haven't had any weird shutdowns, hangs, or FCs with this setup, and my battery is still good. I might even go at it a little more aggressively soon, maybe I'll try to bump everything down another 25, but this setup works really well for me.
[Captivate Android Development] TXRangerXDA:
Go to settings, applications, market, and clear data. that usually fixes this issue. Happens fairly often after installing a new Rom.

TR.
[Captivate Android Development] switters1:
How does the speed compare to Perception 10 or any other ROMs?

Can you comment on battery relative to anything else? e.g. Speedmod? Edit: Just realized this is based on speedmod, so i guess battery should be comparable

I'm currently running Perception 10 with speedmod. Battery got decent with speedmod, but both perception and speedmod lag at times (when typing sometimes all the letters wait before popping up all at once. Or installing anything from the market, forget about doing anything else)
[Captivate Android Development] DrDubzz:
thanks, I've got everything at -25 for now. We'll see how it goes. My benchmarks are great with it OC'd, but I need battery life as well.

great ROM and kernel fo sho :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] eSPyeL:
Exactly what I would recommend.
[Captivate Android Development] Clienterror:
I got lucky with my referb cappy (due to random shutdowns) I'm running from 1280 to 100.....50-125-125-150-125-150. I tried 175 for 100mhz but I got random charge deaths.

Live backgrounds

eSPyel, thanks again. I'm loving this so far. I like some of the extra options in the power menu (like when I hold down my power button)... (yeah, I really don't know the proper jargon for most of this stuff). I have been trying to find something I don't like about this, and so far the only thing is the lack of haptic on the home key (which I see has been fixed) and there was someone else who posted that the live wallpapers look weird... They're almost granular. Like when you don't have the right drivers installed on a windows pc and your monitor looks like you're running in 16-bit color. You know what I mean? Has anyone found a fix for that? (not a huge deal, I'm just hoping it doesn't also effect video playback).

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] eSPyeL:
Install the update! Those issues have already been fixed. :) The update is on the second post of the thread. You don't have to download the whole rom again or lose any data. Just flash the update and you are done.
[Captivate Android Development] aaronv89:
I'm curious about this. Can anyone else confirm?
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Well he just did it today so give him a day or two to report back...
[Captivate Android Development] androidpwns:
I've been experiencing a lot of lag with this ROM lately even with a lagfix and overclock... anyone else been experiencing the same? I'm currently running the Precision ROM now and it's the most stable and clean ROM I've ever experienced!
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Actually I think you are the fist to report that so it is a very rare issue.

I tried Precision recently and while I did not find any issues , performance overall was not up to par with this ROM or Phoenix (my second favorite) and even the benchmarks showed what I felt using the ROM. ;)

[Captivate Android Development] bentonhall:
For those looking for SGS TOOLS, it is available in the captivate apps and themes section.

Also eSPyeL, there is a section in the app under rom tools, where you can get Paragon ROM and kernel listed there as an option to download. May give you more exposure. If interested PM the dev.
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
For what its worth...anyone whos lost the default paragon wallpaper by using a different one and unable to get original back, just download a garbage wallpaper then while its set delete it via task manager and viola....pleasant surprise

Does anyone else have an issue with not getting notified when apps have updates?
[Captivate Android Development] slyguy2000:
does anyone else have random search popping up here and there? I'll be reading email and boom search opens, surfing web and boom, phone idle, unlock screen and boom... Its purely random, cant put my finger on it...annoying though...
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Never seen that happen with mine, sorry. No idea what to suggest unless your search button is acting up.
[Captivate Android Development] Jammn:
I've senn it happen how and then, but I believe that I'm the culprit, as I believe that when handling the phone somehow a part of my hand presses ever so slightly on the search button and... boom!

Will watch out for it and let you know if it's me or something else...
[Captivate Android Development] Jammn:
Power Saving Mode... OFF... no obvious change in battery drain so far... still a steady 10%/hr... :(
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
When you notice this happening is your phone charging, plugged into your computer, or do you have Headphones plugged in?

I have issues with my buttons acting up which causes the search to popup when either the USB or headphone jack is plugged in.
[Captivate Android Development] deanhatescoffee:
Good catch slyguy2000, thanks for bringing this up! I've experienced this issue occasionally in the browser and meant to report it but forgot. Not sure what causes it, but I can confirm that it isn't just an accidental button press. When this happens, it comes out of nowhere. It's happened without anything plugged into the charging or headphone ports.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Could it possibly be a conflict with an app you have installed or something? I don't have that issue cep as stated above =\

On a different note has anyone seen a decent Red/Black new Market Mod?
[Captivate Android Development] Jengle:
That worked! Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] Christo_69:
If it helps, I've had my Cappy on with minimal use for 24:27:55 since last unplugged at 100% and now I'm at 76%. Also note that when I unplugged it it dropped to 97%, I still haven't cracked the nut on that one but, I get awesome battery stats none the less. Battery history is as follows:

Running: 3.6%

Screen on: 2.3%

WiFi on: 12.3%

WiFi Running 12.3%

Like I said, minimal use but, I've learned that WiFi will kill my battery so I keep it off when not in use. I also change my HSPA to 3G, that seems to help also. Let me also add that it was buried in my couch for 12 of those hours...lol

Good luck!! ;)

eSPyel, Excellent work and can't wait for RC6 :)

[Captivate Android Development] warp.asylum:
One of the biggest culprits for me was auto-rotation. The sensor was almost constantly using CPU cycles. Once I turned off auto-rotation, my battery usage dropped greatly. It was not uncommon for me to turn the phone on before work and be around 50-60% by 5pm with minimal use. Yesterday I was at 84%. Very dramatic improvement...
[Captivate Android Development] JFX:
hey all. Great rom, again.. curious tho, hot to get Scummvm emulator working, I've read that others had my issue of just a black screen, and it was the theme that needed to be turned off. Is this possible for this rom, just to use scummvm? Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Oooo I like that Neon Red one. Had looked at the ones in the first thread before but I didn't really care for how he had them setup. Thought it was too much of the color and just clashed and looked tacky. But the ones in the second post look nice thanks! :D

Do wish the font color was Red rather then white though...

Running 5.1 for a few days now without a problem very happy. Added tw3.0.

Does this rom have the lag fix?

How do you change the lock screen. The discription says that there are 4 of them.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Go to the Settings Icon then select Display then the Lock Screen option.

Thanks I feel silly asking that question now:-) do you know if the lag fix is installed

RC3 to RC5.1

Sorry for the newbie question. What is the easiest way to update RC3 to RC5.1?
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
The easiest way would be to:

1. Download the Paragon RC5.1 Full zip

2. Backup all your apps and data (TiBu Paid works wonders)

3. Dial *2767*3855#

4. Reboot into recovery and flash Paragon RC 5.1

5. Restoring only missing apps and user data (assuming you use TiBu to backup your apps and data)

6. Restore the data of the items highlighted green individually (as needed)

7. Reboot your phone
[Captivate Android Development] kevindorj:
thanks for the quick reply!

I had this very irritating problem frequently throughout the day with a Cognition ROM. After I flashed to Paragon this random problem went completely away. It must be software (apps maybe?) related.

Just out of curiousity, why don't you like to apply lagfix?
[Captivate Android Development] chisnz:
Made the switch over to Paragon RC5.1 from Serendipity 5.8 and have great fun with it so far. Absolutely fantastic improvement to GPS performance.

I was enjoying the mild OC and some UVing using Voltage Control with the base 5.1. My Voltage Control may have been upgraded from the one from the Paragon flash with Titanium Backup, but worked fine. Then thought it'd be nice to get the 1280MHz, 100Hz version of the kernel from the 3rd post. Downloaded and flashed that, but now Voltage Control FCs. I tried to install the the v2-rc2 and 3.0 APKs but they wouldn't install. The one that's in place is V3.0alpha. It seems to be a system app so can't just wipe it out and start again the way I can with other apps.

How can I install a Voltage Control that works with the 1280MHz/100Hz Paragon kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
This tends to happen if you don't remove your previous OC/UV settings before flashing a new kernel so if you goto /etc/init.d/ and delete S_volt_scheduler then reboot it should fix the FC issue. You might get one the first time you open the VCA but after that it should be good to go.
