[Captivate Android Development] Verrigan:
So...

I've been using this ROM for a couple of days now..

Issues I've noted:

Battery life

Within minutes of taking the phone off the charger, it drops to 98%..

From home to work is about 45 minutes of my phone sitting in my case on my belt.. From 98% to 80%. (No use whatsoever)

Camera

Force Closes when I try to go to camcorder mode.

Speed

Choppy video playback in multiple video playing apps.

Choppy game playing.. Feels like multiple apps are running at once even though task manager says nothing.. Hmm..

Other than the above issues, I like the ROM. I like the look.. I like the feel.. I like the speed (It is pretty fast most of the time.. Sometimes it becomes molasses..)

Thanks for posting a great ROM. Sorry if you already knew about these issues, but I did search.. and I figure if someone doesn't tell ya.. How can you know?
[Captivate Android Development] paracutin:
I try almost every ROM and kernel that comes out and this is one of the fastest ROMs I have ever used. On my phone, Perception 5 was the fastest I had ever used. Paragon RC3 seems just as fast. If battery life is good and stability remains good I think I will stay with this ROM for a while (a week at least). I usually do not have good luck with oc/uv kernels even if I keep them at 1GHz with no uv. They usually drain my battery very quickly. Previously, my best combo was Cog 3.02 with SpeedMod's K12O kernel and the JL2 modem. We'll see how Paragon RC3 does. The only thing I changed was the modem. I am using JL2. My phone likes it and ZNKP1 the best.

Good work eSPyel

icon legend

First time flashing a new rom everything went easier than I expected. Thanks, just one small question. Is there a legend of icons? There are new/diff icons in the top bar that I am unfamiliar with
[Captivate Android Development] Clienterror:
Espyel, are you planning in uploading the new kernel tonight? Plz plz plz :-D

[Captivate Android Development] theMaDHakkeR:
I don't have any of those issues aside from the battery %. Have you restored anything via titanium backup? Also my battery does the same thing, even after calibration. If you look around it seems like this is a bug in the 2.2.1 roms as many people report the same issues with different I9000 2.2.1 roms. However i do have great battery life. I go about 18+ hours with heavy browsing and also watch 720p mkv regularly. My battery is still at around 15-25% at the end of the day.
[Captivate Android Development] DrDubzz:
battery life, I was having the same problem. I'd pull it off the charger and it would immediately say 97%. So... try what I did. Charge it over night, and first thing in the morning reset the battery stats in CWM. I did that, unplugged it, and it stayed at 100% for about 20 minutes. I've been unplugged with moderate to heavy usage for about 8 hours now and I'm at 65%.
[Captivate Android Development] theMaDHakkeR:
I'm going to be doing this myself. Mine shows 99% instantly after unplugging, but its never bothered me much. Thanks for the tip though.
[Captivate Android Development] paracutin:
I have never used any ROM where the battery didn't drop 1%-2% when you unplugged the phone. It is my belief that this is normal. The batteries have over charging and over discharging circuitry built into them to increase their life. OC and ODC are the two biggest killers of all LIon batteries.

Further info: http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries

From the above mentioned site.

Simple Guidelines

Avoid frequent full discharges because this puts additional strain on the battery. Several partial discharges with frequent recharges are better for lithium-ion than one deep one. Recharging a partially charged lithium-ion does not cause harm because there is no memory. (In this respect, lithium-ion differs from nickel-based batteries.) Short battery life in a laptop is mainly cause by heat rather than charge / discharge patterns.

Batteries with fuel gauge (laptops) should be calibrated by applying a deliberate full discharge once every 30 charges. Running the pack down in the equipment does this. If ignored, the fuel gauge will become increasingly less accurate and in some cases cut off the device prematurely.

Keep the lithium-ion battery cool. Avoid a hot car. For prolonged storage, keep the battery at a 40% charge level.

Consider removing the battery from a laptop when running on fixed power. (Some laptop manufacturers are concerned about dust and moisture accumulating inside the battery casing.)

Avoid purchasing spare lithium-ion batteries for later use. Observe manufacturing dates. Do not buy old stock, even if sold at clearance prices.

If you have a spare lithium-ion battery, use one to the fullest and keep the other cool by placing it in the refrigerator. Do not freeze the battery. For best results, store the battery at 40% state-of-charge.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
You can calibrate it to avoid that though
[Captivate Android Development] deanhatescoffee:
eSPyeL, you mentioned that you were thinking about making different themes. Perhaps you could make a theme that's basically identical to this one, but with black text with gray backgrounds? Keep everything else including the color of the pulldown background the same, just change the background and font color of individual notifications. (See the second post on di11igaf's ROM - the theme by d1g1talphyre - to see what I mean. I would actually make the background of notifications a little lighter so the text sticks out more, but keep the theme dark overall.)
[Captivate Android Development] deanhatescoffee:
It seems like this has been true for all overclocked ROMs that I've used, but non-OCed ROMs don't seem to have the "not fully charged" issue. Someone said that maybe it's a 2.2.1 thing, I could be wrong, but I think it's related to OCing.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
I am always running OCed and 2.2.1 since they came out and I am telling, you can get calibrate it to avoid that.
[Captivate Android Development] theMaDHakkeR:
Yes it is my understanding that its a 2.2.1 issue. Though it may not be an "issue" and just the way the phone works. I did notice that when i use non OC/UV kernels (like stock cappy for Cog 3), the battery does show 100% after unplugged.
[Captivate Android Development] theMaDHakkeR:
Just curious how you calibrate your battery. I've used the tutorials on here to do it myself before. My battery life is still excellent regardless but just curious what your method is.

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
I normally just let it charge while on until fully charged then I disconnect the power, wipe battery stats and either charge it off (if I dont need it ) or charge it whille turned on.

One of those normally get rid of the automatic loss of some % when disconnecting.
[Captivate Android Development] Lancez:
Ditto

Someone else mentioned this method as well. Sounds like the way to go, and ill be doing this tonight.

Thanks!

Just want to say great work on this rom man! I have kept it since RC1, and this is probably my favorite kernal of all time. Whats the ETA on the 1344 OC rom I hear is in the works? Can't wait to try it out!

Been messing around with different voltages today with the 1280 OC, below is what I have stopped at and is very stable for me with normal usage, 3D games, and the psx emulator. Everyone, feel free to inform me if these settings are unsafe or not recommended, or if you have a suggestion, as I don't know all that much about undervolting just yet. Keep up the great work, this is my favorite rom! (and I have tried just about all of them, got my captivate on day 1!)

1280: -75

1000: -100

800: -125

400: -125

200: -125

100: -125
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
UV cannot really be unsafe per se only over volting would go into that area.

They look really good to me if 100% stable.
[Captivate Android Development] bts0uth:
Not sure what I did to cause this but when I click to change my ringtone or notification sound my only choice is "silent." Never had this issue before and a reboot didn't fix it. I checked the audio folder where ringtones and notifications are stored and they are there just aren't showing up.
[Captivate Android Development] deanhatescoffee:
Found a bug: Go into Contacts. Select a contact. Turn the phone to landscape. Witness crash.
[Captivate Android Development] SeenNotScene:
Bug confirmed.
[Captivate Android Development] DrDubzz:
double confirmed

However... I have been using my phone heavily today, on purpose, and my battery is at 38% and it has been unplugged for almost exactly 12 hours. That is the best I have ever had stock, custom, or otherwise.

I will just avoid landscaping my contacts :D
[Captivate Android Development] juheimbu:
Another potential bug: no sound on timer alarm. All of my volumes are turned up, but the tuber alarm is silent.
[Captivate Android Development] DrDubzz:
is that an alarm made from potatoes or something?
[Captivate Android Development] arffer:
I opened a contact, turned to landscape, and the screen rotated to landscape just fine. Repeated multiple times, every time the contact rotated without fault.

I am on Paragon RC3 using Paragon kernel #7 and JK4 modem (in otherwords, the standard Paragon RC3, no changes to kernel or modem).
[Captivate Android Development] scuba_d:
bug has been confirmed. I never do that when Im looking at my contacts, so I don't really care about it.
[Captivate Android Development] juheimbu:
Auto correct fail. Lol
[Captivate Android Development] SeenNotScene:
Charging animation still not working perfectly for me, non-issue issue :)
[Captivate Android Development] moopile:
Same here. Used RC3 upgrade from RC2. No change to kernel or modem.
[Captivate Android Development] scuba_d:
how come my home screen doesn't look like drdubzz on post 456 of this thread. I did the update from rc2.0 to rc3.0 a little bit ago and I still have the same home screen as I got from RC1

[Captivate Android Development] theMaDHakkeR:
Same for me, crashes in landscape mode. Also did the 2.0 to 3.0 update.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
I use a different theme so I cannot tell if mine has the same issue...oh well, I never go to landscape either when looking for contacts :)
[Captivate Android Development] scuba_d:
nope. you answered it for me right there. perfect. thats what i wanted to know. Thank you.
[Captivate Android Development] mark_20:
I am looking forward to this, but maybe partially themed. I love the startup and shutdown animations, and all I really want to change is the status bar icons.

[Captivate Android Development] chuby007:
as I posted before I was not getting HSDPA on this rom by default I Was going to change the modem but I did not need to do that what I need was to change the band to 850, here's how to do it copied from another thread in case someone runs into the same problem:

If you are on WCDMA 1900 and want to change to WCDMA 850,

1. From the phone Dial Pad, enter: *#2263#

2. From the "BAND SELECTION" menu select "[2] WCDMA BAND"

3. From the "WCDMA BAND" menu select "[5] WCDMA 850 (FDD V)"

4. Exit out of menu and check to make sure your band is now WCDMA 850 using *#0011#

Note: By default your "BAND SELECTION" is "AUTOMATIC", so if you want to revert your changes, repeat only steps 1 & 2 above, selecting "[1] AUTOMATIC" in step 2.
[Captivate Android Development] mark_20:
Any chance of adding the ability to assign ringtones to Google Contacts Groups? This was in the 2.2 based ROMs, but seems to have gone missing in all the 2.2.1 based ROMs.
[Captivate Android Development] eSPyeL:
Ok. I can't reproduce this. Weird. Can someone pull a logcat?

[Captivate Android Development] cobra20g:
same question again! please help me out

I love this rom first of all, but I had a question that has been bothering me for a whille. I use to have an HTC Aria before I got my captivate. I was running Cyanogen Mod and I could plug my 3.5mm male jack from the audio input of my stereo to the phone and it would route audio though my car stereo and would use the mic on the phone. I didnt have to have any hands-free devices because this servered me just fine. I have tried all the roms on this forum (or damn close) and none of them seem to have this ability. Is there a way to enable this or perhalps change the logic of the jack to make this funtion in the mannor that I am explaining. Ohh and I am not a developer! so Please TRY not to shoot info way over my head. Thanks in advance!
[Captivate Android Development] eSPyeL:
I would help you if I could, but I really don't know. Supercurio is the audio expert around here. Might see if he has any ideas.
[Captivate Android Development] eSPyeL:
Animations and mirror

OP updated with links to the animation options. Also, added a download mirror for the ROM courtesy of deanhatescoffee. Should be much faster than multiupload. Thanks deanhatescoffee!
[Captivate Android Development] joelpt:
I have the same issue, and it really sucks that this singular issue is making me stick with Android 2.1; this functionality is a must-have for me when I'm driving.

One of this ROM's listed features is "Wired headset working". Sounds like this doesn't fix this issue for you though.

I'm going to try flashing this ROM anyhow, see what I get. EDIT: tried it, no worky.

A bit more info: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=902965

My research indicates that it's an issue with all Froyo ROMs and is the result of a design decision to only enable phone audio out through the headphone jack when the plugged device also has a mic -- which has an extra ring on the male connector.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8590949&postcount=163

It seems that you *can* get phone audio out to work if you use such a connector. However, my research thus far suggests that the phone's mic will consequently be disabled in this scenario. So unless there's a software fix for this floating around, the only acceptable option may be to buy something that plugs into the headphone jack which has an actual dedicated mic as part of the package (e.g. some hands-free kit).

I'm probably going to just bite the bullet and buy this: http://www.amazon.com/Cellet-3-5mm-Stereo-Microphone-Switch/dp/B003AOS1QI/ref=lh_ni_t_
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Happens for me too but I generally don't go into Landscape mode when viewing contacts so it's not a big deal to me. On the plus side my battery drain seems to be getting better.
[Captivate Android Development] deanhatescoffee:
I don't usually use my phone in landscape at all (except for games that require it) but I did it accidentally and I was like, "WTF caused this nonsense?" I knew I was in the Contacts when it happened, so it didn't take too long to figure it out. I did the standard upgrade from RC2 to RC3, and I'm using LauncherPro, if that helps.

I had this problem on di11igaf's ROM as well. I don't believe a fix was found for it. My workaround was to download an app called StopWatch & Timer, which has served me well for the last couple of weeks.

Is there a way to make HSUPA automatic for both bands, or do you always have to manually select which band you want to be HSUPA enabled?

If you can tell me how to make one, or send me a link that tells me how, I'll get it for you.

For shizzle. Glad to help.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Just reflashed rc3 and no issues with contacts for me.
[Captivate Android Development] eSPyeL:
Same here. I flashed back to RC2. Flashed RC3 update no issue. Flashed Full RC3 no issue.
[Captivate Android Development] cobra20g:
thanks for the info, I have had the same results as you! but I didnt get the corilation of the froyo roms making the mic shut off. when I thought about it I realized that all the roms I was using (cyanogen nightlys) were not based on froyo! maybe I will shoot Supercurio a message to ask him. thanks again!
[Captivate Android Development] cobra20g:
good idea, I will shoot Supercurio a message. Once again thank you for all your hard work and time invested in making the captivate a better device for us all. If I get any info about the fix from anyone I will let you know becuase I think this would be a great addition for all of us.
[Captivate Android Development] CF4714:
Not to seem like a noob but I'm just asking to prevent from bricking my phone again but how do I go about applying an update? Just place the file in the SD Card and update via recovery mode?
[Captivate Android Development] chuby007:
There has to be a way to set a default on the kernel or on the modem version on the modem thread it states some modems that have hsdpa automatic or 850 by default.

[Captivate Android Development] cobra20g:
assuming that you are rooted!?
[Captivate Android Development] theMaDHakkeR:
It could be several things. I've only been updating the rom since RC1. I originally flashed right over cogb3 in CWM and cleared cache/wipe. Regardless these are very minor annoyances that do not detract at all from this fantastic rom. Expect a donation tomorrow as you deserve it.
[Captivate Android Development] deanhatescoffee:
It's safe to assume that all advice provided on XDA is assuming you're rooted. :)
[Captivate Android Development] drumega:
Just flashed this ROM from Serendipity 2.0. Looking foward to how it performs.

So far it looks great. Processing seems really fast. Curious to see how better the battery performance will be.

Thanks OP.
[Captivate Android Development] deanhatescoffee:
I'm in the same boat. I really don't care about the bug enough to reflash the whole ROM and set everything up again; it's just something I wanted to report since I noticed it. eSPyeL, I'm going to PM you with the logcat.
[Captivate Android Development] DrDubzz:
I wanted to add that in addition to the nice battery life I was getting Linpack scores in the mid 14s without overclocking. When I was using the speedmod k12o I was in the mid 12s. Maybe that matters, maybe not. Just an FYI for those who are keeping track.

I.love.this.ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] bentonhall:
I did a flash to stock jf6 with a master clear, flashed rc1, updated to rc2, updated to rc3 and can confirm the bug as well. Like you I think it is a minor problem.
[Captivate Android Development] DrDubzz:
I followed the same path and have the same problem. But like I said before, very minor.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
I dont see why not..besides do that much people really need the 4 lock screen option? I found widget locker to be so much better anyway...

Anyway, you may want to consider AppWidgetPicker for the next version...very nice app imho.
[Captivate Android Development] deanhatescoffee:
A few observations:

- Very fast and, so far (for the last hour - through a TiBu restore and playing with the settings, etc) stable. I haven't enabled OC/UV yet, but it's still really fast. I think I'm gonna leave OC/UV off for a while and see how the battery goes before enabling it. eSPyeL, are you using it with OC/UV on or off? What's your personal preferred setup?

- The window animations are nice and smooth, but are off by default. Seems like they should be on by default to show off how nice they are. You should include Spare Parts for changing window animation speeds.

- The Wallpaper, Search, and Settings icons in the homescreen menu in LauncherPro are in color while the Add, Notifications, and Preferences icons are monochrome. I realize you don't include LauncherPro by default so I'm not sure if this is something you can fix or not, but I've used LauncherPro on every other ROM that I've used (di11igaf's ROM, Serendipity, Cognition, others) and I haven't seen this mix of color and monochrome icons before.

- GPS is freakin' awesome. Definitely, hands down, the fastest lock times I've ever had. I haven't tried it on a trip yet but I'll put that to the test in the morning.

- I like the notification pulldown theme overall, but I would make a stronger distinction for the Ongoing title bar and the Notifications title bar, so they stand apart from the actual notifications. I would also lose the text under the icons at the top of the notification pulldown (see this Serendipity screenshot for an example).

- The lockscreen buttons look nice. I have no need for any other lockscreens but others have requested them, so maybe include them when you can.

- Two things I really liked on Serendipity were the Cyanogen Mod Music player, and the car/home clock (I think that's what it's called). If you like 'em too, it would be cool to have them included with the ROM.

That's all for now. I flashed this on a whim just to feed the itch and I'm surprised. The real test will come tomorrow when I take it out for GPS tracking and battery abusing but, overall, I'm impressed so far. Thanks!

EDIT: Forgot to mention... Bluetooth voice dialing! Finally! Tested and works!
[Captivate Android Development] mr.valacky:
GPS is perfect

I've tried a lot, but it's the most beautiful! I really like

thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
Any early reports on battery life? This ROM looks tasty, but battery life is my biggest concern (that, and restoring over 100 apps with free TiBu between flashes is quite a hassle :o). If battery life is good, I'll be glad to give it a try.
[Captivate Android Development] mattern1974:
Just go ahead and buy the Tibu. The paid version eliminates the constant input needed by a person to reinstall backed up apps. Best couple of bucks I spent so far!
[Captivate Android Development] alkiter:
Nice! I had just finished flashing new rom when I saw this. Couldn't bother with Odin, flash to stock, etc., just went from step 4, 5 min and up and running. Really like the bootup screen and theme!

Make sure to set USB debugging before doing TiBu restore, other than that smooth and fast, Quadrant 1395 with no O/C, GPS right on 16 ft accuracy, WiFi and cpu power usage looks higher than other rom.
