I was just having random thoughts and came up with a two part bootanimation I think would be pretty nice if done right. I however have 0 talent when it comes to art.

Anyways, my idea is this:

Start off with the different Phone/Operating system logos duking it out then have lightning bolts shoot out from the top of the screen first just kinda striking around above the logos then striking each of the logos one at a time disintegrating them as Paragon scrolls down from the top wrapped in lightning bolts then once all the logos are got and Paragon gets to the middle of the screen it'll just loop the Paragon enveloped in lightning bolts that jump from it from time to time. Also Paragon would take up ~95% of the screen width and there would be different versions where the lightning bolts would be different colors to fit better with the different colored themes.

Again I have no talent for art so there's no way I could make something like this, but if someone else who's more talented were to take up this project I think it would be awesome!
[Captivate Android Development] CapnPez:
I've actually been dreaming up something similar. You suppose it should just include the apple, windows, and android logos. Have all but the android get vaporized or something and have it morph into paragon? What do you think?

I'll try to work on it this evening/weekend, but I'm also hoping to add all the bootanimations to the new theme thread that bentonhall started.

I'm probably also not the best at the animations, but I enjoy trying new ideas. I think I'm getting better with each one!
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
You should also include Blackberry since it's still a fairly popular phone/OS and have the Android morph into Paragon above the other three then vaporize them. Kinda like Android going into Super Saiyan mode or something (Yea yea lame Dragonball reference)
[Captivate Android Development] CapnPez:
Yeah, I sometimes forget about rim even though they hold such a huge market share still. Should I bother with symbian or palm ;)?

I'm not familiar with dragonball (it's been a long time since I was in middle school ;) ). I assume something like the war of the worlds death ray would work?
[Captivate Android Development] tmng95014:
Sure, for your use case, wifi sleep policy sets to NEVER would do the trick and you can leave data network on.

In my case, i am not doing anything with the phone during the night so the preference is screen off then wifi/data network off.
[Captivate Android Development] tmng95014:
Like you, I did not noticed any issue with wifi on RC5. I and others know the issue exists for RC5.1 and RC6 for sure.
[Captivate Android Development] arffer:
wifi sleep

I've been using Juicedefender for months now. It does an excellent job of turning off either/both data and wifi when the screen is off. It also does an excellent job of optionally turning one or the other back on every "x" number of minutes for a short period to allow MMS/email etc. if you wish. And, you can set the hours (i.e. when you are sleeping) to not even do the periodic checks.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
I honestly can't imagine what my battery life would be if there is a wifi drain that gets fixed. I'd probably go a full 24 hours without a charge. My phone hates me sometimes the way I abuse it...
[Captivate Android Development] deanhatescoffee:
That's not the desired behavior for most people, as most people still want to be able to receive email automatically over the data network when the screen is off. If you want to disable all data connections when the screen is off, try an app called Juice Defender.

EDIT: Looks like others have already mentioned this. :-)
[Captivate Android Development] deanhatescoffee:
bentonhall and CapnPez, just wanted to thank you guys for your theming and bootani efforts. :-)
[Captivate Android Development] mjgspr95:
Anyone else missing the full SNS sync capability? This ROM would be absolutely flawless if I still had that definitely worth paying for...

Still loving it so far.

Have to sync contacts before installing FB app
[Captivate Android Development] tmng95014:
I am aware of Juice Defender. The issue is that the "screen off" wifi sleep policy is broken. eSPyel acknowledged this back a number of messages earlier. I did not want to imply that people don't want to receive email automatically when screen is off. It is just certain time, one wants to shut off wifi when screen is off. The wifi policy is simple way to set it but is has not been working since RC5.1. Others noticed the same thing too.
[Captivate Android Development] chuby007:
I noticed that the phone charges a lot faster with wifi completely off, and I really like that to save on electricity ( yeah I'm cheap ).

Now Regarding Juice Defender I realize it can do the work, but personally I do not like juice defender it seems like bloatware, and what you save by having wifi and data off seems to be eaten by juice defender, so really why even bother.

Now today I Was looking in the market and saw a little app called Green Leaf free, it does the trick and it's footprint seems to be very very small.

Gonna give it a try today.

the pay version seems to have a "night mode" no idea what it does, but I can turn wifi off at night.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Dragon Ball is an Anime where some of the characters (Sayains) can power up above their normal power levels by becoming Super Sayains. I was compairing the transformation of Android into Paragon to gain a new level of power to easily wipe the floor with the other contenders to the power gain of the Super Sayian transformation.

I dunno bout Palm and Symbian. How much market share do they really have on smartphones?
[Captivate Android Development] jpinks:
I am getting rejected also. What is up with this?? My downloads are horrid!!! Why cant I change it to 3g??
[Captivate Android Development] jpinks:
This comes back as rejected and H sucks but when I was on 2.1 on 3G my uploads and downloads were incredibly good. Now its disasterous:confused:
[Captivate Android Development] mopo01:
the market search could not find that app
[Captivate Android Development] CapnPez:
I mentioned Palm and Symbian mostly as a joke. Personally, I get the feeling that the battle is mostly between iOS, wp7, and android. I can include bb just for a little more completeness, but palm/symbian would just make more work for me ;).

So, in the animation, you were thinking that the android is more or less absorbing the souls of the others and becoming "super mega powerful"?
[Captivate Android Development] chuby007:
my bad it is green power free

the market link:

[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
This would indeed be awesome as hell
[Captivate Android Development] jpinks:
Ok can anyone tell me how to get 3G back to working? My phone's net speed is super slow and I am in a 3g area. I tried the #301279# and it comes back rejected. Is there another place in the ROM to change this?
[Captivate Android Development] brandonhinds:
i just switched to paragon. its freakin awesome.. i am new to the flashing roms though. soo i have a quick question about the kernels. what does the kernel actually do. may sounds like a stupid question to some of you.
[Captivate Android Development] Oxicottin:
How do I install the themes? I have read around and have no clue what to do. Any help would be appreciated.... I downloaded a theme from the first page.

Thanks,

[Captivate Android Development] scuba_d:
through clockwork recovery. install zip from sd card, find zip then pick your theme and click yes install
[Captivate Android Development] Jengle:
I came across this yesterday, and it helped me.

[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
I was thinking it could power up (YouTube Super Saiyan Transformation) and transform into Paragon above everything else then shoot a laser that sweeps across the screen with a delayed explosion (I watch too much Anime) which vaporizes everything else while Paragon has electricity/lightning bolts coursing around it and shooting off to the sides periodically.

For those having issues with their data, try reflashing your modem.

How to install custom theme

Thanks guys I wrote this for people like me.... I found a video on You Tube and followed that....

1)	Move .zip file to Internal SD card and un-mount but be in debugging mode.

2)	Open Rom Manager and “Boot in Recovery” and allow Superuser user.

3)	Once green menu comes up select “Install .zip from SD card”

4)	Then select “Choose .zip from SD Card”

5)	Then select the themed .zip you moved to your SD card in step 1

6)	Then verify selection by selecting it again

7)	Then the theme will flash really fast and green menu will come up again.

8)	Select “Go Back”

9)	Select “Reboot System”

10)	Now it takes a little while to reboot so be patient….
[Captivate Android Development] tmng95014:

[Captivate Android Development] jayjr1105:
Thanks! Never noticed the advanced sub-menu under the wifi settings before.
[Captivate Android Development] Christo_69:
Try *#301279# I think you forgot the * ;)

EDIT:: Ok that was answered like twice I think. Another tool you could load is SGS Tools. It's not in the market anymore but you can google it, download it , and then load the apk.
[Captivate Android Development] marcopolo1:
thanks i will try and test it
[Captivate Android Development] jayjr1105:
OK, I did some playing around with the wifi sleep policy on...

I used "ping 192.168.2.102 -t " (-t makes it ping continuously)

...and with the display off, the ping response times were all over the place, mostly high. As soon as I unlocked the phone the pings immediately sped up and became fluid. Not sure what this means but it seems that when the display goes to sleep the wifi policy is 'trying' to do something. My guess is that a true wifi sleep should make the phone un-pingable.
[Captivate Android Development] TechNut*:
Does anyone know if it possible to remove the time from the notification bar?
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
You can probably block it out by editing your theme, but don't take my word on that. I know very little about theme editing...
[Captivate Android Development] TechNut*:
Oh am not sure where to start with that, unless some one here can point me to the location. I would imagine it would be part of the main system rather than a theme option?? Not a clue though... :) Thank you!
[Captivate Android Development] sebas.mf:
Is there a way to get Paragon with no animitions and no custom theme?
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
I'm not sure if there's a way to actually remove it remove it but you might be able to make it look like it's not there by covering it up or something with a theme like how eSPyeL "removed" the Battery Full and the USB Debug icons. They're still there but rather then the icons showing it's a blank spot.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
You should be able to turn animations off in the settings as for the theme, there might be an AOSP theme floating around that's compatible with Paragon. Sorry I can't really help you more then that =/
[Captivate Android Development] TechNut*:
hmmm.... well that would be nice as the battery full is annoying as well... lol

Maybe eSPyel will come to the rescue, would love to make both things disapear... :)

Thank you again for your advice! :) Much appreciated!
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Yeah the Notification itself is still there in the drop down but the icon in the notification bar is just replaced with a blank space. I'm sure there's away to make the notification disappear but that might require source editing...
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
ext4?

this might have been stated in the OP but i just wanted to make sure that all files are in ext4 format for this rom/kernal combo correct? (as long as you havnt changed anything)
[Captivate Android Development] TechNut*:
Yeah I was browsing the theme section and I guess the services.jar file is key. I've tried opening it with EditPlus but its encrypted, not sure what program to use to open/edit it. :(
[Captivate Android Development] redger725:
It's possible because the Firefly ROM has an option to remove it.
[Captivate Android Development] bballer182:
I believe EXT4 is stock setting on Paragon Rom/Kernel. you can use recovery to tell.

[edit]

CACHE is set EXT4nj everything else is EXT4 standard.
[Captivate Android Development] TechNut*:
Yeah, maybe it could be made an option with RC7 ... :D:cool::rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] TechNut*:
I converted my system to ext4 and if you don't like it you can switch back to rfs - as stated by bballer182 this option can be found here:

1.) Reboot to Recovery via extended power options

2.) Scroll down to Lagfix options

3.) Choose to convert system to ext4 or revert to "rfs"

Hope this helps!
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
It'll format them to ext4 on first boot with the exception of /system which You'll have to go into recovery and change manually.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
I'm pretty sure .jar is a java file. I'm not familiar with the EditPlus program though...
[Captivate Android Development] TechNut*:
I use it at work to write javascript/html... its just a text editor basically but I just started with scripting languages... I'll see if I can't find something at work that will open the file and let me edit it.. :)
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
You might need a Java decompiler to convert it back into readable/editable code. I'm not really familiar with Java and how it works. I've only worked with C++ and some ASM...

On a side note that sounds like ConTEXT that I like to use for stuff like that. It's just a text editor but has downloadable highlight scripts which you can load and it'll highlight the text like a typical editor for that language would.
[Captivate Android Development] TechNut*:
I've looked at C++ its a little different from the ones I've been working with. What is ASM? Or did you mean ASP?
[Captivate Android Development] TechNut*:
Yep that's right it does highlight scripts/functions and makes it a lot easier to work with. :)
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
ASM is Assembly Language. It's a pain in the butt and really difficult to see where you made your mistake and it's very fickle... I don't mean to sound rude or mean or anything like that, but you do know that Java and Javascript are different right?
[Captivate Android Development] TechNut*:
Yeah java is different - jscript makes web pages dynamic/interactive. No worries on offending, I barely got my feet wet with this stuff... I'm good with plain HTML/CSS/VBSCRIPT/ASP - all on a beginners side though... W3Schools is a great resource for me. :)
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Well I seem to be having an issue with Tasker and my WiFi. I know I've been preaching about how great Tasker is, and it is pretty great and well worth the money, but my WiFi seems to stop kicking in after waking up my phone several times. Tasker turns it on like it should when I unlock my screen and the WiFi symbol will appear after a few seconds but then disappear and it'll go back to using my data plan. So far only a phone reboot has fixed it.

Just wanted to give the heads up on that. Going to try this Green Power app chuby mentioned earlier.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
I love that website :D Just wanted to check because not many people know that Java and Javascript are different. I didn't know for a while. I wouldn't even know how to go about creating Java programs... Downloading the Java SDK would probably be a good first step though.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
I'm a little late on this conversation, but I just flashed a zip file that got rid of the time in the notification bar. It also got rid of the debugging symbol which I kinda liked but I can live without. But yeah, super easy flash from cwm!

can you add Headset voodoo volume control? ... is there an apk file to install?
[Captivate Android Development] TechNut*:
I will give it a spin, I saw the thread earlier but am a little concerned that I may screw something up with this ROM... really don't want to re-flash until RC7... :) Did you run in to any problems after the install? Thank you!!
[Captivate Android Development] TechNut*:
That was one of the first things my Boss made clear... lol Because as you said not many people know that Java has nothing to do with jscript... (I was one of those)...

Did the Green app work out better than the Tasker for you?
[Captivate Android Development] TechNut*:
Yep, so I gave it a try and now I'm reflashing... can't boot the phone, its in a bootloop and I couldn't get in to access the backup copy I made of the services.jar... :( I am just going to deal with the clock for now... Thanks though.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Sorry about the issue.. I had zero problems flashing the no-clock and debugging.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
The Voodoo Sound app is included with this ROM however if you delete your /data dir you lose it.

I've decided to stick with Tasker for now. Trying out different techniques. The Green Power app would be easier for people who don't like to mess around with trying to figure out stuff.

Tasker you have to practically program while Green Power you just change a few settings. I saw a few settings concerning how long GP would wait before turning WiFi on/off and the minimum you could set one was 1 minute and the other was 5 minutes which kinda turned me off from it. Not really sure what it really affects but I don't want to have to wait for my WiFi to kick in any longer then I absolutely have to. So I setup delays and variables in Tasker which I will play with and see just how long it has to be so I don't have the issue I've been having.

I have a question. I hope someone can help me.

I install RC6 and I note that the 4 function buttons light up when touching the screen, I install Steel Blue theme and now do not lights up. Someone please tell me what file I have to install and where.

Thank you very much :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
I ran into the same problem.. the steel blue theme kinda negates the keys lghtng up. The no clock zip I flashed gave me back the bottom home keys to light up when I touched the screen. But not sure which, if any single file does this trick.

Battery Drain Significant

Anyone having trouble with the battery draining to fast? I charged my phone over night and unplugged it and its at 97% so first off there is something wrong there. Second, I didn't really do anything but receive emails and txt messages and in two hours it went down 20%. I haven't added any apps so it cant be that. I do have the WFi on and I have the off when screen is off set. Any ideas? :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
A few people seem to be having issues with the battery drain. First things I would try is booting into Recovery and clearing battery data and then bump charging (there are various methods you can search for).

How did you flash Paragon? Did you go back to stock then Master Clear? I'm just curious if that has something to do with those that have the battery drain issue.
[Captivate Android Development] Oxicottin:
I charged the phone to 100% with old ROM then went back to stock Eclair then master cleared then rooted then installed ROM.... Whats weird is now that its at 97% I can unplug then plug back in and it will charge to 100%
[Captivate Android Development] dadams312:
I apologize if this has been answered, I did search through the thread as best as I could.

Is there an alternative rotary unlock that I could put on the phone? Current one is crooked and drives me crazy.
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
Try this:

1. Turn your phone off and wait about 30 seconds.

2. Plug in your power cable.

3. When it reaches 100%, unplug cable from phone, and reinsert power cable agiain.

4. When it reaches 100% again, unplug and reboot.

5. Once fully rebooted, insert power cable cable.

6. When you see 100%, leave the power cable for about 30 min. (you can use your phone during this step)

[Captivate Android Development] CapnPez:
I use a steel blue port someone did for one of di11igaf's roms (can't remember who it was). You should be able to find it in the themes. My buttons light up still and that's the theme I use. Are you using the i9000 version?
