Hey Im just wondering if any of y'all have done this before or not and whether it should technically work.

I have flashed over a lot of ROMs on top of each other without problems by disabling lag fix, wiping data cache and dalvik cache and just flashing the new ROM over. Dont get me wrong I dont do it without being a little paranoid always have the handy jig and Odin up and running on the PC :D.

But Im wondering I really wanna try out the new Paragon and since im a build 1011 and it takes a very long time just to get to JH7 could I be able to flash this on top of Serendipity by doing all those things?

And finally if I cant I may just take the trek and go back to stock but I should be able to use the 1200 Paragon Kernel with Serendipity 5.11 correct?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
You do not need to disable lagfix. You can flash over serendipity.

As long as you do not use ext 2 loops

Yes you can flash kernel over serendipity
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
I personally just dial *2767*3855# before flashing any ROM and it generally does the trick for me.

On another note, just recoloring icons is a lot of work x.x
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Awesome thanks and I just got a reply as well from espyel.

I disabled lagfix and system lag fix it was on EXT4. I disabled anyways cause thats what Im used too.

Ill be on Paragon very soon. Thanks again. Cant wait to try it out
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
I like that one also. Looks kewl. Let be know when u get it done and l will give it a run. Blues do look nice.

Completely unrelated but I am sooooo digging the GB keyboard. So easy to type on.

Sweet! Does this bring all of the color back or only the menus? For example the: media volume, voodoo volume, web refresh bar at the top, etc?
[Captivate Android Development] eSPyeL:
No this will just add the colored icons back in the settings app.
[Captivate Android Development] Dlev7:
Hey eSPyel fantastic ROM the flash went very fast and painless and this is extremely snappy.

My question is I am fine with the dialer now but you think we could flash this dialer on top without problems:

[Captivate Android Development] eSPyeL:
Glad you like it. That dialer should work fine.
[Captivate Android Development] upNsmokeAllDay:
Haven't tried the rom but the kernel is amazing. Been using speedmod for awhile now. Didn't think I could improve much more on my perfect captivate till I tried your modified speedmod kernel. Nice work.
[Captivate Android Development] eSPyeL:
settings.apk

This will replace the icons in the settings app with the same colored ones from rc5.
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
This is flashed thru clockwork right?
[Captivate Android Development] mopo01:
will it add color to the extended power menu

if not how would one attempt to get those back. willing to give it a crack :D not sure if am capable but would love to get into the shallow end of the pool :)
[Captivate Android Development] SmithEC:
I get confused here at XDA for some reason. I clicked on that link for the dialer and responded in that thread thinking that I was here.

That's okay. Yesterday I went into another forumn thinking that I was in Captivate Development. I was shocked at the number of new ROMs that had suddenly sprung up. I thought someone was trying to do an end-run on the Captivate community.

[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
It's not too hard, or doesn't seem to be too hard. framework-res.apk is what you want which is located in /system/framework/. You can just extract it with a zip program like 7-zip and then browse to the res/drawable-hdpi directory and all the image files you want to edit are in there. You then just rebuild the framework-res.apk with the apkbuilder that comes with the Android SDK. Though I hear you can just replace the files you change into the original framework-res.apk using a zip program like 7-zip though I've not tested that out...

On another note I'm loving this new Kernel. It seem so much more stable then all the previous ones. Using the default Kernel OCed to 1.2GHz with all my UVs set to -150mV I was able to get through 10 cycles of the Stability test before it crashed. Crazy!

Suppose I should mention I'm using StabilityTest v1.4
[Captivate Android Development] NISMOFO:
I used the extended power menu to go into recovery and installed the zip from there. Much better. I wish the rest of the colors were all back. Its looking like the frankenstien theme with all this black/white/green. Its just hard to see some of the volume levels with all the gray.
[Captivate Android Development] bentonhall:
Also, for the files on the notification pull down where you turn on/off wireless, gps and so forth, you need to extract the twframework-res.apk and then browse to /res/drawable-hdpi-v4 directory. I added the files back into the appropriate .apk files with 7zip and had no problems.
[Captivate Android Development] bentonhall:
I don't mind to do a pink. May take a few days though, not sure if anyone is interested in any of the other colors besides blue. I sent the link to the blue theme to eSPyeL so hopefully he can give it the okay and post it soon.

Alternate dialer

Just as an alternative, I'm posting my favorite dialer, which I think originated back on AXURA.

Note that if you don't like the font, that is controlled in the settings, not in the dialer, so you can pick the font you want. I use Rosemary which is why the screen shot looks the way it does.

I have made and attached a CWM installable version which works just fine on Paragon. I've also attached a CWM that restores the default Paragon 6 dialer.

blue bootanimation

Sorry I'm a bit slow on this, but I thought since so many were wanting a blue theme, I'd put together a custom bootanimation. This is my very first attempt at such a thing and I'd say it still has a decent amount of polishing (but it works!).

Would someone please take a look at what you think (just open up the zip and take a look at the pics if you don't want to actually put it in system/media)? I'd like to know if people like it enough for me to keep re-working it or if is too simple to keep. Once again, I won't be offended if it's not the style or caliber people are looking for. If there's enough interest, I think I should be able to put together different colors (I had a really hard time getting this first one to work, but then I realized it was because of the format of the desc.txt file--very picky).

Some of things I plan to change:

changing the ending sequence somewhat

slow down the glow pulse at the end

make the pixel height bigger

whatever you guys think I should do

Sorry I don't have any screenshots or a gif for you to preview. I've already put off my quantum homework long enough. Time to get back to some simpler stuff like degenerate perturbation theory applied to the energy states of a hydrogen atom with spin-orbit coupling, relativistic effects, and an applied magnetic field.

At first glance, I think it looks pretty cool. I didn't run it yet but I'll give it a try later on today.

RC6 is great!

First of all....like other...RC6 is great. Really like the Red theme add-on. now that i saw the blue wallpaper, i think the blue theme will look just as great.

Couple questions....

1.) It seems while on battery, wifi never sleeps when the screen turns off. If I hit the power button and unlock, wifi is all ready running. in RC5.1 wifi took a couple seconds to come back. SpareParts partial wake usage had some info, but I have since recoonected my charger and it changed that setting. It was something like, Cell time awake. Which is right in line with the amount of time it was off the charge and the screen off. I can't find anything that is preventing the phone form sleeping. I have all the power save stuff turned off. Screen brightness is set to manual.

2.)for the red theme, could we get the dialer key pad in red?
[Captivate Android Development] scuba_d:
not necessary
[Captivate Android Development] scuba_d:
just download extreme dialer in the captivate, themes section and use the red extreme dialer. Thats what I use and it works and looks great.
[Captivate Android Development] SmithEC:
That looks like the perfect dialer. Thanks!

CWR booting to recovery issue

I haven't had this happen before. I was trying to enter in recover to install the red theme dialer...If I use CWR or if I hit the power button and select recovery, it doesn't boot to CWR recovery, instead it says Recovery 3e..

I have to pull the battery to clear. On the boot it will then go into CWR recovery.

The Original colors you had for the extended power menu unless it's included with the settings zip you posted. Haven't flashed it yet since I'm still pushing the Kernel. Thinking about trying out the 1.4GHz Kernel since the 1.2GHz is doing so well now. 100, 125, 125, 150, 150, 175 are my current UV settins from 1.2GHz down to 100MHz and I managed 105 successful runs with Stability Test v1.4 before quitting.

Maybe the new Stability Test is bugged though because my phone has become sluggish with those settings =/

Download/flash the red theme. RC6 was released in original green, so if you want red, you need to flash it. Linkage-> http://www.multiupload.com/HVSVS65OZ0

Everyone had been talking about the different color theme, and bootimations I thought I had messed something or flashed the update wrong. Have flashed two custom roms to my phone and I am hooked. Custom ROMs are like crack once you get a taste, you are hooked!!!
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Well after a reboot of my phone it seems to be working fine (had saved them as boot settings before my phone started acting sluggish) but my battery's now dead =/

I do not condone the usage of my settings as my phone is possessed and has a mind of its own. Use at your own risk.
[Captivate Android Development] Dr.GreenLeaf:
Thanks! Will have to give that a try.
[Captivate Android Development] bentonhall:
I looked at the full Steel Blue theme zip and didn't like everything it was modifying so I didn't flash it. Thats probably the one that took it from you. They have a Theme that doesn't change app icons and so forth and looks less obtrusive but I didn't flash that either. I did however like the boot animation. You may have to re-flash the RC6 update to get it back.

I have that one about 75% complete as well along with purple and silver although I'm not sure how the silver is going to look. Not sure how many would want purple either....
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
I actually went ahead with the full ROM instead. I usually beat it up the first day and reflash anyway. Once TiBu finishes, gonna nan and try the blue out. Thanks for your hard work!

[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
You'll likely flash 30 more times in the next month or so. I can normally tell if I am going to fiddle with it in the first few minutes. Find one that suits your needs and stick with it for a week at least. Takes a full day for everything to settle down and for the battery to be truly accurate.

Personally, Paragon has everything I need and almost everything I want from my phone. bentonhall is working up some themes for RC6. Blue looks nice so far. Not everything is a full theme yet though. Data speeds are good, GPS is good, battery is awesome. Can't say much other than that I am very pleased.

I have a busted up Captivate I try some other ROMs on, but haven't found anything worth making a switch to. Its all personal preference though. Try whatever you think looks worth trying and you'll not only have a ROM you like, but you'll learn a good bit along the way too. Wait till your phone gets fubar and need to spend a couple hours trying to get it back to normal. That's fun (in a sick sort of way)

To everyone who has been requesting colour changes for wallpapers, I present a mini-tutorial.

1. Open your image in GIMP.

2. On the Menu Bar, click on Colour/Hue Saturation

3. Now there are three sliders that you can fool around with.

(FYI Master changes ALL colours. Make sure to choose the closest colour(s) to the one you're trying to replace.)

4. Adjust Hue, Lightness and Saturation to your desire. You can use this method to make only a certain colour appear while everything else becomes grayscale, and to replace colours like I did above.

Alternatively; If you wanna just take a random picture and tint it a certain colour:

1. On the Menu Bar, click on Colours/Colorize.

2. Again, play with the sliders as you see fit.

I've been using the above method to make theme-friendly wallpapers for myself. Now you too can colour-match ANY IMAGE to your phone's theme, or to whatever you want.

(The reason I'm posting this is a) these wallpaper requests can be done by ourselves without cluttering up the thread, and b) 640x480 resolution? Guys! Our screen is 480x800 and we need 960x800 wallpapers! :))
