For what it is worth I am running this rom with hardcore k12s t3. Over 7hrs off charge, 1 hr 20 minutes screen time, over an hour of music through head set. Still at 71%. With this set up I can easily pull 30 hrs if needed. And fast as hell

Are you UV'ing or running stock settings maxed at 1k? If UV, what are your settings? Thx.

I didn't do a reset or anything, I just flashed it over what I was on, we'll see how it goes

Is there any way to backup my launcher screens so I don't need to reconfigure where I have everything located?
[Captivate Android Development] DrDubzz:
I know with Go Launcher, if you go into the Launcher preferences you can back up your settings so you don't have to reconfigure everytime

I would imagine most have this option
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
What launcher are you using
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
Spent ALL day yesterday flashing roms....went through six of them (while driving on 94 west no flashing back to stock no nothing NOT RECOMENDED) and came to the conclusion that this "Paragon" is THE ONLY way to go. Not just because of the cool Greek name :) Its just a perfomer. eSPyel GREAT job!
[Captivate Android Development] GTIVRon:
What all does a launcher change? is it just the home screens and the bar at the bottom of each homescreen? If so, can I go back to the stock launcher somehow and theme it? I really don't like having 7 home screens...
[Captivate Android Development] slyguy2000:
launchers normally change the home screen, bottom dock bar, and the application tray.

personally I like Launcher Pro, has a nice scrollable dock bar, and handles multiple shortcut gestures
[Captivate Android Development] slyguy2000:
give this a try...

nevermind... it doesn't seem to work. Sorry.
[Captivate Android Development] chuby007:
Hey can you include THIS on RC5 Please !!!!!!!! thx !!!!!!!

( I can't install it by hand... no idea why )
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
I use Rom Manager. Once backed up, it will restore EVERYTHING just as it was, including any and all screen configurations.
[Captivate Android Development] GTIVRon:
I dont get the scollable dock bar part... I have 3 buttons, and I see no way to add to it, and I can't get rid of any of the 4 blank home screens that I do not want there..
[Captivate Android Development] mnemonicj:
I am having an issue with app icons not appearing in the applications menu if they are stored on the external SD card, specifically, Angry Birds and Angry Birds Seasons. If I move them to the phone, the issue does not appear.
[Captivate Android Development] slyguy2000:
you are still using Normal Launcher

pick up "clear default home" from market and follow its instructions...then hit the home button and select "Launcher Pro" from the selection...

[Captivate Android Development] kkrathi:
clock settings slightly messed up

Loving this ROM. The clock feature however has a couple of things gone awry or I don't know how to straighten them up.

Previously when I used to modify an existing alarm to ring say in a few hours or few minutes, the clock would automatically understand that I am doing it for today and set it up for today. Now, the clock still remembers the last day when I had set the alarm and sets the alarm for that day, which means it could actually ring almost a week after I set it.

Example, yesterday was Friday and today is Saturday. Yesterday I had set an alarm to ring after 20 minutes at 6.20 pm so that I can take a nap. Today I use the same alarm to set it at the same time. But the clock is saying "this alarm is set for 5 days from now". It did not change the day for me to default to today. NOw I know I can manually change the day. And I also understand I can hit "create new alarm". But in stock, it used to automatically change the day for me so all I had to do was on and off the alarm clock. It would be great if I can do the same on this ROM.

Can you tell me what I can change in settings or other places so that I get the convenience of not having to change the day every single time?
[Captivate Android Development] tytdfn:
I just stopped by to drop in my two cents. I always like eSPyeL's roms. Always stable, and also always functioned how he advertised. This rom is no exception. He outdid himself with the kernel. Its the only one i have been able to OC past 1.2 Ghz

I think know I found my daily driver ;)
[Captivate Android Development] bentonhall:
So those of us whose phones are running better on RC4 than the others should stay at 4? I have a 1006 and this one is faster and better battery far. Only problems I've had are related to being to aggressive at OV/UV.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Define tonight ;)
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
I wonder if a difference in those that had good versus bad battery life if they flashed the full or if they updated each time and if that impacted anything differently? My battery life was certainly better on RC2/RC3. I updated with each release from RC1. May not matter, just throwing it out.
[Captivate Android Development] juheimbu:
I flashed the update, and my battery life improved with rc4.
[Captivate Android Development] eSPyeL:
I think I've changed my mind on this. I have new kernel builds that need more beta testing. Everything is working great for me, but I want more testing before releasing to everyone. I know I said tonight, but I really don't feel comfortable releasing without more extensive testing.
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
Well, strike one on that idea I guess.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Better safe then sorry. Your current build is awesome anyway
[Captivate Android Development] RaneMan:
Good call

Has anyone noticed that the status bar in K9 mail has gone crazy in Paragon? The app still works though.
[Captivate Android Development] dr01dfan:
Just flashed RC4.0, very impressed. I'm not sure if anyone brought this up but something is wrong with the GPS icon, it stayed there even though I turned off GPS. I rebooted and it's gone, and now it doesn't wanna show up when I turn GPS on lol. The GPS itself is excellent. Looking forward to RC5.0 :D

Cannot duplicate on my end
[Captivate Android Development] n7slc:
Yep, mine is all wigged-out but the app is working OK.
[Captivate Android Development] bentonhall:
I flashed RC1 Rom at release, flashed the updates from then on. RC4 is the first release that I have been able to go a full day without a second charge before I left work with moderate to heavy use. I had ODIN flashed to JF6 prior to RC1. Not the One Click version.
[Captivate Android Development] flxdms:
This is my next ROM. I'll be flashing this as soon as rc 5 comes out. This ROM looks promising.
[Captivate Android Development] viperrepiv:
I have RC3 and obviously very interested in RC4, it sounds amazing. Just to be clear, I just flash the RC4 update that was posted on page 99 from my RC3 build via download mode?

Also considering just waiting for RC5 so I don't have to redo all my settings again.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
RC5 is going to be sweet and the options you are going to get are very cool too!
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
I'd advise to just wait till RC5 since you'll have to fresh flash it. At least that's how I understand it'll be.
[Captivate Android Development] RaneMan:
The update is in the second post....all you have to do is flash it over your current build. It will not change your settings. RC5 will require a new flash from stock

[Captivate Android Development] deanhatescoffee:
I have this issue too. I think it's just something to do with the custom loading wheel animations used in Paragon.
[Captivate Android Development] LimaI896:
Hmm interesting rom, when rc5 comes out I think I'll be trying this out.
[Captivate Android Development] GTIVRon:
dammit i just flashed RC4 lol.

Okay well i havent gone and quite gotten my phone to where i want/need/used to have it, so before I do that I'll wait on rc5. BTW, really really liking this rom. Only complaint I have is having to use 7 home screens when i only really use 3. Still learning but I guess that has to do with the launcher. Not even really sure with what the launcher changes, but I'll experiment more with the phone and get it to my liking once RC5 comes out.

Thanks for an awesome ROM, my first custom rom.. but I don't think I'll be using any other... I found a ROM writer that makes a great looking rom, as well as really stable, and with superb battery life.

I'll have to donate once I get all my bills paid and know how much I have left.
[Captivate Android Development] scuba_d:
Rc4 is best so far for me, so I'll have to think hard about upgrading to 5, I dont really want to wipe everything again. Could any one let me know if the multitasking still works on this rom? I can't figure it out for some reason.

What do you mean, of course multi tasking works. What are you trying to do?
[Captivate Android Development] trevorgarmont:
Thank you again RC4 updated smooth. This is the best Rom I have used yet.
[Captivate Android Development] sabesh:
I decided to use the SpeedMod kernel as well. I lost 14% battery life over 9 hours last night. Various push services running: Exchange, Yahoo Mail, Gmail, Facebook and Twitter. That's about 38 minutes per 1% battery standby with Push services. This works out to about 64 hours of standby with Push services for 100% battery life. Not bad.

Honestly, I really don't see the need to OC as I don't notice any speed difference even when I do (other than higher Benchmark scores) This ROM is speedy enough as-is. Cheers.
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
I'm back on RC1...at least for now. The battery life difference for me is substantial. Would it be possible to get the updates for RC2/RC3 available (I deleted them when RC4 came out). Or maybe the kernel posted in zip form from RC2/RC3 that way I could run RC4/5 with the kernel that works best for me? I assume its the kernel although many are obviously loving it. Other than battery life, it was great!

I tried RC4 twice with the same issues with battery. RC1, blows it away for me. Speed and functionality is great on both, obviously a bit more polished on RC4.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Using hardcores kernel, and rc4. Battery life us not bad for all

Anybody getting terrible battery life with this rom? What would be the best settings to use on voltage control? I don't even use oc and its eating thru my battery.
[Captivate Android Development] deanhatescoffee:
User apps + data should be fine. It's just the system apps + data that can screw up your new ROM (usually...). :-)
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Can I copy the RC2 files into the full 1.1 ROM before flashing?
[Captivate Android Development] majinzen:
I'm sure you can. I always go in and delete/add apps, framework, kernel, modem etc. before I flash. I hate going in CWM multiple times just to customize.
[Captivate Android Development] eSPyeL:
Yep. That will work fine.

hey guys, just got a question. so i cam over from serendipity, and i love this rom but the only thing that i miss from that rom is the keyboard. it was a themed version of swype. so i was just wondering if there was a way that i could install it now. i still have the files from serendipity so i was thinking i could find it in there and install it but im not sure what im doing or looking for. thanks in advance for anyone who can help me out.
[Captivate Android Development] deanhatescoffee:
I've been playing around with my OC/UV settings a bit recently. It seems like I was getting worse battery when I was OCed to 1200 and had UV values more aggressive than -75. So, my UV settings from 1200 through 800 Mhz are -75; from 600 to 200, -100; and for 100, -125. This seems to be very stable and keeps my battery going longer than more aggressive UV settings.
[Captivate Android Development] slyguy2000:
I under volted 1000mhz and under by 75mv across the board, and kept my clock max at 1000mhz, saved it as bootup settings and my battery is awesome now...

out of the box with RC3 and RC4 my battery drain was terrible, but it is now great, just by playing with OC/UV settings...
[Captivate Android Development] Greenarcher707:
Thanks for the info, i'll try it out.
[Captivate Android Development] flxdms:
Still can't wait for RC5.0 to come out. I would flash RC4.0 already, but will I have to do a master clear again when RC5.0 comes out? Can I just flash over RC4.0?
[Captivate Android Development] aaronv89:
it was stated earlier that there will always be an update (no-wipe) version released so you can go ahead and flash RC4 and then update to RC5 whenever it's released without needing to master clear again
[Captivate Android Development] flxdms:
I'll flash this ROM right away, then. Thank you.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
changing base from rc4 to rc5. I do not think there still be a no wipe available
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
you won't be able to set it to 1600. At least from my understanding of overclocking. I hear 1200 is pretty stable for most people, and some are able to get to 1400. But as far as I know, 1600 is VERY unstable and will most certainly cause the phone to freeze. Also, you need to adjust the UV settings in order for you to have a stable system. With that requires testing.. i think. I have yet to do it myself, but have been kinda reading about it.:)
[Captivate Android Development] jmbradd:
I am getting pretty terrible battery life, pretty sure its just a bad flash or poor calibration and not the ROM because this was happening with perception as well.

I charged to 94%, 30 mins later it was at 78% with battery info showing the display had been on for a total of 14 mins. Anyone have tips on calibrating battery? I didn't flash at full charge I don't think which is probably the problem.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
That is correct , so far I have seen what looks to be real evidence of one user doing 1.5Ghz but 1.6Ghz...no evidence yet.

I have mine OC to 1300. It only hits anything above 1000 when playing games, but have from 1300 down excluding 1120 and 900, 25, 50, 75, 100, 100, 125, 125, 150. Also use mostly only GSM 800 band (2g) and have auto rotation and auto brightness disabled. I enable them when I need them. When at idle like overnight, it loses about 5%. Can go all day on one charge with moderate use.

TouchWiz (yes, I actually prefer it to others!).
[Captivate Android Development] BillShepp:
Yes, but to my knowledge that will back up everything all at once. I just want to be able to restore the launcher after I've done a new ROM (don't want to restore the rest, since it's a new ROM).
[Captivate Android Development] bentonhall:
Mine shows, time without sleeping- 3 hrs 18 minutes. Time with screen on-2 hours 16 minutes. Phone calls- 32 minutes. Wifi-1 hour 54 minutes. Time unplugged- 13hour 55 minutes. Still shows 30% battery remaining.

Charge phone fully while on til full. Turn off and keep charging til shows full again. Boot into CWM and reset battery stats in advanced menu I think. Reboot and unplug.

[Captivate Android Development] sabesh:
Those getting good battery life: Are you'all using auto-brightness? If not, what section of the brightness slider do you have it at? (apprx). Thx.

My standby time is amazing. However, once I use the screen, battery life takes a dive (I'm using the 2nd brightest setting on "Power Control Plus". IE: 50% on the brightness slider).
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Rc5 tonight? ;)
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
My battery life is always terrebile the first day i flash a new ROM, but usually settles out pretty nicely. Even perception took a couple days, but eventually got a lot better. Thats just my experience with battery issues. I used my phone pretty steadily throughout the day yesterday, and last night before plugging it in, I was at 60%. Even i was impressed!!:)
[Captivate Android Development] sabesh:
Which brightness setting are you using? Thx.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Auto. When i flashed perception, my battery life dropped off terribly so i unchecked auto and just kinda had it set to dim. But with no significant change in helping the battery i switched it back to auto brightness. Seems to be fine, but I could be in the bunch that has good battery use..:)
[Captivate Android Development] sabesh:
Cool, that's what I guessed. I don't like auto that much, as it dims the display more than I'm comfortable with. But I did get good battery life on auto with another ROM (FireFly 1.5). Cheers.

[Captivate Android Development] moopile:
Did you restore any type of backup? If restoring w/ Titanium be sure to only restore missing apps (+data) and No System Data (other than those previously discussed in thread) or you will overwrite the included ones.

If not the case, I don't know. I've had no problems.

I'll retry.

Trying the regular uninstall method now in Titanium Backup.

Says it's uninstalled, but if I go to the market, it says it is "Installed". So I have the "Open" option. I click on it, and I get a FC window:

"The application Maps (process com.google.android.apps.maps) has stopped unexpectedly [...]"

Seems like I can't get rid of it?!

So I couldn't get rid of it, it kept coming back, but at least now it seems fixed.
