Lagfix Question.....Does it matter if Lagfix is applied before or after I restore all my apps through TiBu? I noticed if I do it after I restore all my apps, it takes a lot longer to go through the "applying lagfix" process.
[Captivate Android Development] arffer:
The lagfix process has to backup every file on the file systems so that it can reformat the file systems, then copy everything back again after the format is done.

So, the more files, the longer that backup and restore, and hence the 'lagfix process', will take. Do it before you fill it up with all your apps, and it will be quicker.
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
OK Kool!....Just to be clear, Lagfix is not applied to each app, but to the system?

So I have an idea for the bootanimation...having the kernel boot set to show the samsung galaxy s logo and then start the bootanimation with the same galaxy s logo and then have a huge FAIL stamp fly in to stamp "fail"over top of it and then have the whole thing crumble with a cool "Paragon" logo appearing from behind it....this is going to take someone who is really talented with this...that person is not me, as my bootanimations get very basic and kind of lame, so I thought I would post up the idea and see if someone wants to take it on

eagerly awaiting some 6.0 awesomeness. So far the changes sound good. Lovin the new red and can't wait to see the finished product.

One more request for it tho. Any way to jack up the vibrate to sonic levels? Doc said I got another rock in my kidney. i'd love to be able to.smash them before it gets crazy again.

This rom is hot, tried many, stayed with this. I'm curious though, doing a battery recalibration but can't seem to boot into recovery from off, not reboot into recovery just boot from off, into Rec.. Tried all the ways I read.. any tips?

Donating upon the release of 6 !
[Captivate Android Development] xelaboy:
I have a request for 6. I have no idea how hard it would be, or if it's even too late to request. But I don't like that there is a task manager built in. I don't mind it being there, I can just hide it with the launcher pro, but I HATE how it jacked the long press home dialogue.

Besides, didn't google say not to have task managers in the first place?

It's not that big of a deal to me, just a minor nuisance.

This is hands down my favorite rom. Thank you so much for all you do!
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Sorry but I feel having a Task Manager is still a good idea. Not needed often but when benchmarking or to kill "less than well coded but needed" apps, it can still be useful.

So I feel it should still be there.

Did you do the ODIN 1-Click Recovery? If so you might have disabled your recovery button sequence. Try using the 3Buttonfix.zip in the following thread:

Data

I'm simply posting this to try to provide some useful data and feedback to esPel.

1.) I think this ROM is the best for me. This is awesome work, and it's greatly appreciated.

2.) The battery life on every version except 5.0 has been excellent. V5.0 struggled a little, but it came back with 5.1.

3.) I GREATLY appreciate having an email client with peak/off-peak schedules. It keeps my work email from waking me up at 2AM when my Daily Dilbert comes in.

4.) On the task manager comments, I agree with you. Like it.

Voltage Control won't launch

Something is not right with my Voltage Control app. When I launch it I get a "Not rooted" message and a no root available pop-up with 3 choices, 1) Do it for me, 2) More info and 3) Exit. If I click option 1 it doesn't fix the issue.

Any ideas?

Has anyone noticed that the call waiting tone is very low? I've missed it on a couple of occasions. Is this tone controlled by any of the volume settings?

[Captivate Android Development] bentonhall:

You can apply Root from Recovery. Just reboot into Recovery Mode -> advanced SpeedMod ULK features -> ROOT / Install Superuser.

I also like that boonanimation suggestion posted a few pages back

*edit* Forgot to add that not only are the bottom buttons acting up when the USB is plugged in, but also when the jack is plugged in.

Is anyone have picture issues with the TV out on this ROM? I tried searching the thread but xda didn't bring up anything for my search and I'm not sure how many people actually use this feature anyway.
[Captivate Android Development] Jammn:
I just flashed the KP1 modem to give it a try. I usually experience rapid battery drain, with it going from 100% to 90% in maybe 3hrs with moderate use. I usually get about 9hrs before the battery warning.

Samsung car Dock

I was planning on ordering the Samsung Car dock, not that Newegg has them for $29.99 free shipping. I have seen in some posts that there is an issue when trying to use the docks built in USB for audio, One of the custom kernels has the so called fix. Was wondering if RC5.1 has this fix..

here is the thread link if that helps.

[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
So here it is. I bought a new computer to use mostly for my phone (incase anything goes wrong and the computer i had was a p.o.s. hand me down.) Anyway, after reading all these forums it seems a lot of people are flashing back to stock before flashing a new ROM. While i had yet to have problems wiping data with ROM manager and flashing from there, I thought it would be good to at least know the steps to get back to stock. So I spent the good part of the morning getting drivers and such so the pc wouldn't give me any errors when i plug my phone in via usb.

So here i am. Completely stock. ( but, i checked my info.. i can remember it reading UCJH7.. now it says UCJF6 ) ..not sure if i f'd up and got the wrong stock firmware, but i am unable to download the .zip files, i.e. Paragon 5.1. I was really just wanting to get familiar with Odin, but now I'm kinda regretting it. I'm rooted again, but can't seem to download the ROM. Any ideas what i did wrong?:confused:

*edit* ok.. just installed ROM manager plus.. and tried again. Seems to be downloading. I'll post again with an update!
[Captivate Android Development] flxdms:
How did you go back to stock? Did you using Odin One Click? Did you also do a Master Clear? Can you mount your internal SD card to your computer? If so, all you have to do is download the update.zip file and the rom zip file on your computer, copy them in the root of your SD card, boot into recovery and choose "Reinstall packages" (you might have to do it twice), and then flash Paragon.

I really don't know what you mean by "unable to download the .zip files".

edit: Oh, didn't see your edit. I didn't know you were using ROM manager. I have always used cwm to flash my ROMs. I honestly think that installing through Recovery is less troublesome.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
I used Odin3 one click to go back to stock. I also did a master clear..after Odin. I'm not sure about mounting my SD card to the computer. I just tried and once i plugged my phone in I get a screen that says connected w/ a picture of a usb, and at the top it says MTP application. I dont recall ever seeing this, or if i have its been a looong time.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
looks like i can mount. What do you mean by download update.zip file? I'm really sorry for asking that. lol, i know i should know what update.zip is, but i didnt use it to root, i just used that samsung galaxy s one click root.

:confused:
[Captivate Android Development] FredOak3:
The Update.zip file on the first page of Paragon posts will set things up for you so you can get into recovery and install the ROM zip. So do update first and then the full ROM zip
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
ok.. after all that heres where i stand. i downloaded RC5.1 on my PC. copied it over to my phone with SD card mounted. I did use ROM manager however to get back to installing ROM from SD card as i have a hard time getting into cwm recovery or whatever. I went through, found the ROM on SD card, and selected wipe data (as was my usual step) and instead of the phone rebooting and all that, i was brought to some sort of halfass recovery menu.. I selected reinstall packages, and that brought me to clockwork, where i was able to install from SD card. found the rom.. installed. Good as new amd back on Paragon.. phew:)
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
i still dont understand why i cant download ROMs straight from my phones browser. Thats how i have obtained all the ROMs ive used. Now i get "download unsuccessful. Download not supported by your device.. whats going on here..:confused:
[Captivate Android Development] flxdms:
Usually, what you should've have done from the start is :

Odin to stock

Master Clear with Odin

Download the update.zip from the OP and ParagonRC5.1.zip and put them in the root of your sd card.

Boot into recovery

Reinstall packages

Install zip from SD Card

It's safer and easier than using ROM Manager imo and you don't have to do extra steps. Odin is an amazing tool.

There are phone browsers that do that. They often corrupt the files you download too.
[Captivate Android Development] aaronv89:

Woohoo I am no longer a virgin – a ROM virgin that is, a mere noob, a having the latest and best ROM on my Captivate wanabee! A week ago, with a lot of heavy breathing, sweating, angst, and trepidation I flashed my first ROM. I was worried when it rebooted and sat at a HPP connected screen for over an hour (I had forgotten to unplug the USB cable and my phone booted into Kies.

Before flashing I watched videos, read the Titanium Backup, Odin, CWM threads and every post in this thread (206 pages with over 2,000 posts at the time). No sooner had I flashed RC5 when eSPyeL released the 5.1 update. I proceeded to apply the update without a hitch.

My phone now runs like Samsung could only have hoped it would. The battery life is unbelievable and for the first time my GPS locks quickly and works as well as my Garmin!

eSPyeL, thanks for all of your efforts!

[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
well I want to do it the right way. And as easy as that was to odin to stock, than i dont mind trying this again so long as i was flashing the right stock or whatever. I don't know what you mean by putting them in the root of your SD card. I can download things simple enough. Usually prompts popup and rather than change anything i roll with it. Then once the download is finished i just open my downloads to find whatever it is i downloaded.

And also, I never changed any browser..always used stock and NEVER got that not supported by your phone message. I feel like if I could get past that, everything would be gravy. I could use the power button options to reboot into recovery and from there do my SD installing or whatever.
[Captivate Android Development] flxdms:
By "root of your SD card" I mean put it on your sd card and not in a folder on your sdcard (I kinda lost myself right there, let's hope you understand). As for your browser download problem, I've had that problem too. Hence why the method I posted above is easier. My browser tends to download files and turn them into a completely new type of file (APKs to .zip, .xml). I found out that it strictly depends from where you are downloading the file. For example, MegaUpload will work just fine while FileSonic rarely lets me download something without corrupting the file/giving me an error.

I wouldn't rely on a phone browser to install a ROM, to be honest. :|
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Thats cool man. I wanna know pretty much every way to do this. I think im following you. So dont even open the folders or extract them, just drag rc5.1 and update into my sd card?
[Captivate Android Development] flxdms:
connexion2005 made an amazing video on how to properly install a ROM. It's pretty good, imo. You should check it out :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsafJ-9uRqk

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iN5E00jXY_U

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9GUH5bUYZc

The whole process might look like a pain in the ass, but it's pretty quick. connexion2005 explains it better than I can.

but yes, that's pretty much what you have to do. Put the zip file into your sd card and install it with cwm. (Of course you should go back to stock/master clear before doing all of this.)
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Alright then. back to the basics! Thanks for your help.
[Captivate Android Development] deanhatescoffee:
Only getting a 10% drain in 3 hours with moderate usage is pretty excellent, to be honest.

It depends on the website you download it from, like flxdms said. It also depends on the browser you're using. If you try to download a ROM or APK via the default browser on stock firmware, it's not going to work. Other browsers, like Opera, will work but it's easiest to just download it to your PC and copy it over to your phone from there. EDIT: I meant to also say that once you're rooted on custom firmware, I think you should be able to download anything with the default browser.

Anyone had a problem with the phone and stereo bluetooth headsets?

I was listening to some music with poweramp and the phone completely locked up and needed to be power cycled.

Paragon RC5.1. Music from Internal SD. Latest everything. No other problems. Normal tibackup restore, apps only.

I found since RC5 i cannot download almost anything on the phone from the default browser. previously i have downloaded all the paragon updates on the phone and applied ??? not a big deal just cant do it on the fly.
[Captivate Android Development] arffer:
Yes, the lag is caused by the RFS file system Samsung chose to use. Lag fixes simply replace it with a faster file system.

Sorry that was a typo, it should have been 100% to 60% in three hours or 40%.

[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Well it was odd because i did flash back using Odin, i did get root again. Had trouble downloadibg the ROM on the dedault browser i guess, but then i must have done something because i was able to download paragon. Flashed it, then brought up not being able to download because i tried to dl a theme that i have dl before using the default browser, and my ohobe doesnt support the dl as it always did before.

So i though i would try fresh..again, and try to get this working correctly. I flashed back to stock using Odin and now for some reason when i try to use the captivate one click root i get an error instead of the normal command prompt screen or whatever. I needed to take a break so im not next to my computer now but i REALLY need to get this straightened out. Being on stock 2.1 kinda sucks.. I had my phone looking nice too ;-)

Im trying to follow the steps 1 by 1 using connexion2005's videos.. Evrything should be hood but i get an error. Like i said, i already rooted earlier today and had paragon running. Dont know why im stuck now. All i did was use Odin again..

If i DL that update.zip and 3 button into recovery, reinstall packages twice than choose zip from sd card, assuming i dont have any problems dl a ROM.

Is there any way we can get a simple 2g/3g toggle? I'm missing that feature. I work out in the sticks and signal is quite iffy. My phone is constantly switching between 2g/3g/H all the time. I'm lucky if I get 10hrs of battery out of it.

When I have good signal I can easily pull 20hrs so the rom itself is super efficient and amazing. :)

So far I am really liking this ROM... it is very fast and memory usage is very low.

However, the transition animations are very slow. Any way to get rid of them? Post 1 has a link to animations for version 4, but it says version 5 are not yet available.

Hey guys, super noob question, and sorry if this is posted in the worng section.

I'm trying to Nand backup my Paragon Rom in Recovery but I'm getting 2 options,

1. Backup DATA: data + dbdata + cache

2. Backup all

also for recovery I have,

1. Restore

2. Restore all (be careful!)

This is clockwork recover 2.5.1.0

Thanks a bunch.
[Captivate Android Development] aaronv89:
I believe backup all and recovery all are the options that you want. Only do recovery all AFTER making a backup (all).
[Captivate Android Development] kimchi0400:
^ Exactly. I always choose Backup All.

Anyways, I'm extremely happy with the rom so far. I had an isolated incident earlier with my gyroscope getting stuck that required Odin flash to stock in order to clear (CWM wipes, rom switching, resetting calibration manually did nothing to fix), but other than that I've been 100% bug free, fast, good battery life, and good call/gps quality.

:D
