I always love a new rom. Here's my observations: Using the recommended settings it took about 45 seconds to get a lock and didn't track well after that. I changed nothing other that what's recommended in the op. GPS was a let down for me.

Also, apps would not install correctly when downloading from the market. I fixed this by replacing the vending.apk. I tried clearing data and cache but that didn't help.

I also could not change the android ID. It would stick on one reboot but revert if I rebooted a second time.

Lastly, for some reason I had an extremely difficult time changing wallpapers. I tried the same stuff I used to fix the market but nothing worked. The gallery would find the images but never apply them.

Just sharing my experience.

How long does it take to install this ROM. My cap has been setting on

ClockworkMod Recovery V2.5.0.4

-- Installing: SDCARD:paragon-rc2.zip

Finding update package..

For about 30 minutes. Is this normal?
[Captivate Android Development] x3nhydr4lutr1sx:
GPS, imo, really depends on the hardware batch that you got. On my sister's phone, JK4 works better for her, while on mine, JL3 works better. If GPS doesn't work, you really have to find a modem that works for you.

On another note, here is the Paragon kernel for those who are interested: http://www.multiupload.com/G89ECSTSK6.
[Captivate Android Development] nuwayman:
I would also like to try just the kernal from this rom. Can somebody post it? Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Been down the GPS road many a day. I've swapped tons of modems. This time I decided to use what was recommended, I use jk4 all the time it works well. I'm currently running serendipity with jk4 and all is well. You are right though, the GPS is a hardware problem.
[Captivate Android Development] deanhatescoffee:
Not Market, but I had a problem with Maps not working on another ROM. I just had to flash back to stock, then reflash. I'd suggest you do the same.
[Captivate Android Development] deanhatescoffee:
That's happened to me a couple times. Just pull the battery, reboot into CWM and try to flash again. It should work the second time.

Network switch

This roms is awesome, but one thing I miss, is the ability to switch betweeen 2G and 3G network...
[Captivate Android Development] jrstorm1007:
Freakin' sweet ROM

So far this is one of the best ROMs I flashed. GPS is AWESOME, loked in 30 seconds with accuracy of 15 meters. Other ROMs locked at 100 meters for a really long time before getting close, but never reaching 15 meters.

Smooth and fast, looks great and super responsive.

Will edit this post once I give the battery a full day to test, but I only look forward to positive news.

Well done!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] deanhatescoffee:
I thought the system switched to ext4 after the first reboot. If I've already installed apps and set everything up the way I want it, is it still safe to enable ext4 via CWM now or is it best to only change to ext4 immediately after a fresh flash?
[Captivate Android Development] eSPyeL:
Should be fine to do it now.

Make it Garnet and Black and I will have to come back to Paragon! :p
[Captivate Android Development] NISMOFO:
Thanks for the help. I hope I didn't shoot myself in the foot here. Would I have to reflash to correct this?
[Captivate Android Development] wonder186:
I would reflash just to start fresh and minimize the chances of possible issues.
[Captivate Android Development] NISMOFO:
Thanks. Should I start fresh with Odin again, or just flash over what I have right now? Do I need to remove my SIM and external SD card if I Flash back over this ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] alaimar:
Initially I had some issues and flashed 2nd time without going to stock. No issues.
[Captivate Android Development] FredOak3:
any time I screw up I always go back to stock to start and when ever I'm doing a full flash of a ROM I always remove my SD Card and SIM...I figure better safe than sorry and it's always worked so why look for short cuts

Phone reboots after call RC5.1

I did the RC5.1 CWM update. After receiving a phone call, if the person calling hangs up first or if I hit End call, the phone will reboot. I am 2 for 2 after the update.

I was straight stock RC5.0, then upgrade via CWM to RC5.1
[Captivate Android Development] flxdms:
I recently flashed Paragon RC5.1. Everything went fine except for one thing and it's bugging me.

Everytime I reboot my phone the application "email.apk" force closes twice. I've tried rebooting, clearing the dalvik cache but nothing seems to work. Can I just flash Paragon 5.1 over to see if it fixes anything? Or will it wipe every app I've restored?

Edit: I've also tried installing the stock email app with SGS Tools but it still FCs on boot.

Edit2: I am also assuming TiBu restored my old email.apk. Is there a way to revert this?

Edit3:

Fixed it by installing the email app from Galaxy Tab with SGS Tools. \o/

I just tried this, but I'm not seeing the same thing. I did load a theme though.

Voice calls not working and CPU Freq State Issue?

Paragon 5.1, with Suckerpunch #41 100mhz

Voice calls are not working on the phone. Problems started as soon as I turned on bluetooth and wifi (neither one was connected just in the on position), and I could no longer place voice calls.

Also another weird issue, I removed Voltage control so I could flash Suckerpunch and install newer 3.0 Voltage Control, and while the voltage control is not being used and shows a stock state selected of 1000, 600, 200, the phone will still go in 800 mhz. Weird issue.

I'm flashing back to stock, flashing rc5, then flashing the 5.1 update to see if I can reproduce this. Seems only a couple of people are having the issue. Did you install another theme or are you on the stock paragon theme?

Sounds like a kernel issue. Do you have the same issues using a paragon kernel?

Thank you! I really appreciate it!

I won't be able to update again until much later tonight, but I was at a computer so I wanted to get in an update from the road. This might not seem like good battery life, but for what I have used my phone for today, it's exceptional imo.

I won't need GPS any more today (hopefully), but the music will continue and so will emails, texts and phone calls. Lets hope I can make it 183 miles back home without needing a charge!
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
Not sure if this ROM related, but my phone doesn't vibrate at all anymore. It's not a settings issue, but just wondering if anyone knows of any tricks that might help.
[Captivate Android Development] deanhatescoffee:
That's weird. Flash back to stock, see if your phone will vibrate. If so, flash Paragon again. If not, I'd get it exchanged through warranty as it could be a hardware failure.
[Captivate Android Development] bentonhall:
If you are talking about on notifications and such, I had this one time on another ROM. Think it was caused by widgetsoid. What I did to fix it was download quick profiles from the market, create a profile and only change ringer mode to vibrate. Back out of settings and tap the profile you created one time and then test.
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
Does not vibrate after flashing stock (boo hoo). Well, I guess I'll have to swap this one out. Thanks for the response.
[Captivate Android Development] deanhatescoffee:
That's awesome! I'm getting good battery time with mine, too. I'm not using it nearly as much as you, but it still seems really good.

- My widgets: SiMiClock 4x1; LauncherPro People, Calendar, Twitter (update every 3 hours), and Facebook (every 3 hours); Pandora; ^3 (Cubed) Large

- Auto-rotate is disabled to prevent sensor_yamaha from running in the background; Bluetooth, GPS, and WiFi are on

- ZNKP1 modem (gives me the best GPS, doesn't seem have the time without signal issue)

When I took it off the charger, it said it was "full" (99%). So far, my phone's been on for 7 hours 13 mins and it's still at 80%. Mind you, this is with very minimal usage - updated 3 apps via Market, 4 texts, 2 minutes of calls - but that seems good to me.
[Captivate Android Development] deanhatescoffee:
That sucks big time, sorry to hear that. :(

That's simply amazing. I'm getting nowhere near this. Are you showing "3G", "H", or what? I get slightly better battery life on 3G as opposed to HSPA. I have 2 email accounts syncing, 1 exchange push, and the other gmail, and I'm at 50% or less by 4pm.

I make maybe 30 minutes of phone calls, check on maybe 30 or so emails, send maybe 20 texts, and display shows only on for about 35 minutes.

If I use JuiceDefender, I'll end the day with 70-80%. Are you using it?

12h 41m uptime with %7 battery left. I'm not going to add any details this time. All I will say is that I abused my phone today, literally. If it were a chic, she'd have been dry humped all day with not so much as a kiss on the cheek or a simple "thanks".

I'm gonna go play some homerun battle 3d till this thing dies.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Touchdown is pretty pricey. I got my company to buy it. If you need your phone for work purposes, have them foot the bill for you. It does a great job with company email. THis app alone saved my battery a great deal.
[Captivate Android Development] bentonhall:
I wonder what would be better on battery. Default mail app setup for hotmail with exchange push or K9 mail set to poll? I also sync gmail using built in gmail app. I'm getting worse battery than I did on rc4 but I did not flash to stock first.

Just flashed this rom to my bro's captivate tonight. I gotta say, this rom is a work of art, down to the last detail. Fantastic work!

We did a lot of research before he decided on a rom, and he was over-joyed with paragon once I got it running for him.

Thanks for the great work!
[Captivate Android Development] SmithEC:
There doesn't seem to be a standard as concerns this 50% without signal status thing, does there?

I can get that 50% if I force my phone to 3G. I can release the force to 3G, cycle flight mode, and then get that 48% you're talking about. I can reboot and go back to 0% and stay there.

I'm not an expert, but I would think that there is something to post #2128, where it is suggested that it's geographical. In the sense that the same service is not available everywhere.

Anyway, this latest is very nice. I'm not seeing any problems at all, here.

I'll be swamped at work until 1 March. I really hope nothing else gets released from within this thread until then.

I agree that this ROM is a work of art. It really is.

I'm still running RC4.

I take my phone off the charger around 6am. I play music with pandora almost all day at work. At least 5 hours worth of music. I also use it in the car on the way home, and by the time I get home around 6pm or 630pm I'll be around 65-70% battery. I run on H, wifi on when I'm home, gmail is the only syncing thing I have. I do use the phone to browse websites during breaks (or when i just need a break) that the company policy has blocked (strangely, this website works fine through the firewall, some adds get blocked).

Anyway, my only gripe is that when I get a phone call, even though I have my phone hooked up to play through my car speakers, the phone doesn't play the call through the speakers... Does RC5.1 fix this? I understand going from RC4 to RC5 requires a fresh install so I'm expecting that, question is, is the link on the first post for 5.1? Or is that for 5.0 requiring me to find the update to 5.1 somewhere amongst all the post?

Last question: I wan't to keep this awesome battery life... Should I use the 1000mhz kernal at 100hz then? and keep the same UV settings I'm using?

Oh snap, one more question, will the red theme actually come as a theme that I can change on my phone? I have a great wallpaper on my phone now with a green bikini that much resembles the green in the theme, and would like to be able to swap wallpaper/themes depending on whether I'm at work or not. Or who I'm handing the phone off to, ha ha.

Anyway, GREAT work on this ROM. I used leaked 2.2 on another phone, but this is the only ROM i've used on this phone, and the only one I see myself using (following updates of course).
