Also, If you're going to do a looped second part (that's why there are two folders; one for the first animation sequence and then one for a looped sequence) make sure to NOT use regular windows notepad for your desc.txt file. Apparently, it adds extra character spaces or something. I spent a lot of time troubleshooting why my looped sequence wasn't working to only find out I couldn't use the desc.txt file I made with notepad.

Save yourself some headache and use a different program (notepad++ ?) or take a desc.txt file from a bootanimation you know that works (like I did). Let me know if you need any other help (I don't consider myself an expert yet, but I might be able to answer a quick question).

Yes. I have orange pretty much finished have it on my phone now. Purple is almost finished, yellow and silver aren't too far behind. Haven't started the pink yet that somebody asked for his wife. Sorry it's taken so long, I've been sick.
[Captivate Android Development] bentonhall:
I based blue and the other colors off of the way eSPyeL did red and green. Some color but not over powering. Once I get these others finished we can go back and add more color.

Thanks, I just flashed Paragon 6 and this looks like a great ROM. I've always used Phoenix and SuperNova so far. Can I use any I9000 theme (such as Cosmic76)? I flashed the new blue theme under the Paragon 6 compatible section and I like it. However, my extended power menu is all just grey (but works) as well as the menu get when hitting the soft menu button (settings, wallpaper, etc). I prefer to see colored icons, etc. I "assume" the grey is "as designed" and not a problem with my flash. The pictures in the OP show color for the extended menu but that is not updated for V6
[Captivate Android Development] gospeedgo:
Yes, those themes should work just fine. I'm using Sensation v 1.1 JPY/JS3 for the same reason. I like seeing the color. You'll most likely lose the 5th lockscreen, but I don't see what the big deal with the rotary lockscreen is anyway. One handed, I find the Android lockscreen the easiest.

This is a very nice ROM thanks eSPyel. But I cant seem to get my android id to take the change back to my orignial ID. The Id file I saved is corrupted or something. I have tried to manually input it but it wont take. How important is the Android ID. Thats about all the questions so far :D

[Captivate Android Development] deanhatescoffee:
The Android ID is unimportant, as far as I know. My understanding is that the Android ID tells Google how many times a particular device downloads an app - so if 10,000 people have the same ID and download Angry Birds one time each, Google thinks that Angry Birds was downloaded 10,000 times to one device.

[Captivate Android Development] jmefun:
Thanks to eSPyel for the great ROM. This is my first custom ROM installation and things went smoothly.

One request: I travel frequently and use Internet tethering a lot. In my old rooted stock 2.1, whenever I plug USB to PC, in the prompts, I have: Samsung Kies, Media Player, Mass Storage & PC Internet. So I can conveniently pick PC Internet, and immediately can go online.

Now, on this ROM, I don't have the PC Internet option. It looks like it will take me multiple touches to get there: Menu > Settings > Wireless and network > Tethering > USB Tethering

Please add the option as in 2.1 when we first hook up USB cable.

Or is there a widget to let me turn it on quickly?

Thanks.

OC/UV guide

Thanks for this guide Shaolin95,

It probably should be in it's own thread (I missed it if it is). I wanted to search before asking these questions.

1) I started with 1200 and -100mv for all as you suggested.

2) I left the mode at "noop" rather than "anticipatory", etc. Is that for all the time and the suggested mode?

3) I was running it and a popup SMS interrupted it. I am now running it in airplane mode so it won't be interrupted. I assume that is fine.

4) I also plugged it in to charge. Will that affect the results at all?

5) My main reason to run it is for bettery battery life. The speed is fine. If there are any suggestions to max battery life such as leaving the max speed at 1000, etc, please let me know.:cool:

6) If I use Elixir or other apps that show battery voltage, it doesn't seem to be any lower at all. If I check before and after, shouldn't the mv be about 100mv lower? I know it varies but the range hasn't changed

ugly white rectangles in notifications pull down?

Who else hates the notification pull down menu?

Why are all the notification entries shown as black text on ugly white rectangles on top of an otherwise beautiful translucent pull down?

I thought this was a bad flash at first so I did a reflash then master clear.

Do themes fix this?
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
yeah, some themes will fix this. Again, the steelblue theme is pretty righteous. And i believe they just released version 3.0 siiick. It's got a nice pull down.

..hope that helps!
[Captivate Android Development] switters1:
Honestly, I just want the notification pull down to look good.

I don't really like the other changes steelblue makes. And I'm more partial to green or orange since these are gingerbread colors.

Any suggests on just fixing the notification pull down to get rid of the ugly white boxes?
[Captivate Android Development] jmefun:
Found a widget: "Tethering Widget". It works, but less convenient than the option when plugging in USB.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
this theme is nice.. keeps color for all your menus without an blue icons and theming. It does change the status bar up though.. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=770507
[Captivate Android Development] switters1:
This theme definitely takes care of those ugly white boxes in the notification pull down.

But i really miss the simple and elegant toggle options in the pull down.

Do you know of anything that preserves the slick notification icons and toggle buttons?

Paragon 3.0 had it perfect. I feel like the current default pull down kinda ruins what is almost a perfect ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
I'm pretty sure there is a MOD for just the notification pull down. I tried to find it quickly but could not. I know i saw it somewhere. It might have been in the i9000 themes and apps maybe. Sorry i cant remember. If i happen to run across it, I'll shoot you a PM or something!
[Captivate Android Development] Jengle:
In PARAGON 5.1 I was able to play live audio on the goducks.com website (neulion flash). In 6.0 the flash page comes up, but when I select a game/event to listen to, it does not buffer. note: in stock 2.1 the web page would fail - no flash error.

Rebooted with same issue. Audio works ok on pc (linux running virtual XP) so I know there are no transmission problems.

What browser/flash changes happened between 5.1 and 6.0?

Thanks!

FIXED: Re-installed Flash 10.1 (I didn't have to do this installing 5.1). Video and Audio works great now in flash.

Why do people come to threads like this and disrespect the dev's work? If you can do better, then make your own, or go find a theme that you like. Don't sit here and complain...:rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
1) Good :-)

2) I prefer noop but of course you are fine experimenting though. Noop always seems more stable for my phone.

3) Yep just fine.

4) It shouldn't ...I usually have it charging myself.

5) Well I supposed running at 1000 and -100 will indeed give you better battery life than say 1.4 at -50 but I spent most of the time powered plus I have 2 extra batteries so I havent tested that much when it comes to battery life.

6) I dont think any apps are able to accurately tell what our phone are really using but someone may want to correct me on that one.

Glad to help buddy! :)
[Captivate Android Development] eSPyeL:
Can't make everyone happy. One of the only complaints of rc1 - rc5 was the dark notification menu not playing nice with 3rd party apps. I fix it and now the complaint is the light background on the notifications. I wasn't too sure about the white behind the notifications at first to be honest, but it really grew on me and now I much prefer it to the other way. I think it looks really clean.

I do somewhat agree about the color icons in the extended power menu and the settings. I'll be pushing out 6.1 soon to address this, but the notification menu isn't changing. For now anyway.

I love this ROM so much, if you need an extra tester for anything let me know I'll be glad to help. I am more than capable when it comes to software test/dev and have lots of experience flashing and fixing bricked captivates so no problem there. Just say the word! And thanks again.
[Captivate Android Development] RichMD:
Thanks again for answering my questions. I will test to see if my battery life is better. With this ROM and overclocking, my cappy is FAST. I almost hate to say it but I can't think of why I would flash again. Of course, I thought that after Phoenix 4.5 but I think I am a convert to Paragon 6...:D

My GPS seems very good in my testing so far. That is about the only thing I can say I'm not 100% satisfied with but I think the hardware is the limitation there.

Just flashed this with the blue theme and I think it looks great. Many thanks for all the hard work the devs have put into this.

Only thing I've run into is the Maps app force closing all the time. I did a search and someone earlier in the thread mentioned they uninstalled and then reinstalled maps when they had the same problem but I can't figure out how to uninstall it. This happening to anyone else?
[Captivate Android Development] Dante04SRT:
Just flashed this a few minutes ago - Still reloading my apps so I haven't had a real chance to look at it yet. One quick question, is there any way to get rid of LauncherPro and get the TouchWiz setup back? Its just my personal preference.
[Captivate Android Development] SmithEC:
I haven't had that problem.

You can uninstall thru Titanium Backup. I've had the Pro version for so long that I can't remember whether or not there is a basic version included with Paragon.

Maps is available on the Market. I wonder what kind of result you'd get if you simply went to the Market and installed what they have there without uninstalling.

[Captivate Android Development] xelaboy:
So I've seen a lot of people talking about how they don't like the way stuff looks and such. I honestly love the dark icons and everything. I can't think of a single style element that I would change in RC6. Is it possible that since we've come this far, can we just have multiple packages of the same release with different icon colors? Then possibly a Paragon settings menu like cyanogenmod has where people can tweak colors and such the way they want? That way nobody has to complain about anything.

I personally LOVE paragon the way it is. Everything comes together so perfectly. I wouldn't change a thing about it personally. I was just saying the above as a possible suggestion.

Also, eSPyeL this is your rom Do with it as you want. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. I love it so much. I can't imagine how horrible life would be without Paragon.
[Captivate Android Development] SmithEC:
Today's GPS report -

Two hundred fifty four miles round trip Victoria TX to San Antonio to Victoria TX. Lost signal twice in places that you are supposed to lose signal (see pic below). In the automated car wash in Victoria and in a parking garage in San Antonio. Re-acquired signal immediately upon coming out from undercover.

Those facts further convince me that this is the real deal. That's how GPS is supposed to work. There's no real utility to a GPS that gives you 12 locks inside your house. It's fun - but there's no utility to it.

It kind of makes me feel for those who are trying to come up with their own fix. The one good thing I took out of the PlumBob (sp?) thread is the idea of giving your unit every chance to succeed. In a window mount - not in the seat beside you.

I have to wonder what kind of response you'd see if this fix was zipped up and published within it's own thread. None of it is any of my business, really. For all I know, it can't be packaged like that. If you do such things, I guess you always run the risk that that odd duck out there who can't do anything right is going to install it incorrectly and then come to your thread and bad-mouth you for publishing a bogus fix. And then there are those with bad hardware, I suppose.

I'd give anything to see someone with an old handset apply this fix and then apply 6.0. Forget the soldering. Just bend the contact. You can train a monkey to do it. The most basic tenet of antenna theory has to be that the antenna has to make contact. You don't have to pay $27 for a precision screwdriver set at Radio Shack anymore. You can get that whole set at the dollar store for a couple of bucks.

GPS was deadly accurate all day.

Captivate lesson learned for the day --> if you are going to use one of those DC power supplies that involves plugging your USB cord into a power plug - disable USB debugging first

Ok so I'm not supposed to restore neither the System apps nor the data? But system data like text messages and contacts is ok or no? This is the first non-i897 based ROM I've flashed so I'm still learning...
[Captivate Android Development] bentonhall:
Makes sense now, thanks!

Good work eSPyeL! I came from Perception 10.1 with SpeedMod K12n and think both are awesome. I like the themed look and the ability to OC. Battery life seems to be similar. Only thing I miss is the auto brightness seemed to go a little darker with K12n and apps that have multiple widgets group together in the menus in Perception but that's a very minor detail. Good job!

What about restoring the data for the "System apps with useful data" that are -- I'm pretty sure the color is but can't check right now because it's doing a batch restore of my apps -- colored green like Contacts and SMS -- granted I did restore those two without issues?
