I'm using RC 6.0, flashed the red theme for the boot ani, using Generation X red theme, multi-live wallpapers wallpaper (seperate wallpaper for 5 home screens), stream pandora for at least 4-5 hours a day at work, wifi on at home when i get home from work. Stock modem, launcher pro plus, have facebook widget syncing and my weather widgets on both my lockscreen and my main home screen refreshing every half our or when I unlock.

I unplug around 6am before heading to work, and plug back in around 11 at night and will have anywhere from ~35% to 50% left, lke 25% when I use GPS driving home (usually for about 45 minutes till im rerouted through crap traffic, then i turn it off again).

I'm not OC and i cant UV at all without the phone freezing up on me.

Oh Phone sees a fair amount of screen time too when skipping songs, check e-mail, texts, mild surfing, and playing Garden of Weeden.

I also use Lookout, and won't ever take it off.

Loving this ROM. Still slowly customizing it with widgets etc, and want to combine aspects of espyels red theme with the generation x theme.

(Anybody know how to get the system text (little text bubbles etc like when phone confirms something) and also the notification bar background, and power control background, and notification text background colors changed to all black? and notification text made white with red description?)
[Captivate Android Development] jayjr1105:
Mostly visual things. Progress bars, dialer, and notifications need color. Old android lock screen is preferred vs the new. A few people have wifi sleep/battery issues but they may not be the roms fault.
[Captivate Android Development] droncadin:
Just wondering if anyone has been having a problem with phone reception? I'm on the Rogers network and cant receive calls, everything else works - anyone have any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] jayjr1105:
Flash back to stock with odin. See if it works, then reflash paragon. A quicker fix, you could just flash a new modem and see if that fixes it.
[Captivate Android Development] mjgspr95:
I like ADW. Have the EX, works well on this ROM and the home screen switch animations are sweet. It stays around 20mb of RAM. Curious what you all do not like about it. I tried a lot of launchers and keep coming back to it.
[Captivate Android Development] droncadin:
i guess you wouldnt have any clue on which modem i should try out eh?
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
eSPyeL must be very busy getting a Gingerbread ROM ready! lol
[Captivate Android Development] jayjr1105:
Any i9000 modem would be safe to try as long as you are using an i9000 kernel. The modems are cwm flashable. Try jl2 or jpg. Someone posted a link to the modem topic a few posts/pages back. All the dl links are in that post.

Indeed...he normally PMs me betas etc but nothing for the last few days...day dreaming of a gingerbread rom now! lol
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
I've been running the CM7 release on my tester phone and it's doing quite well. The bug list can be avoided for the most part, though it does take a lot away from using the phone as you would normally. I think the WiFi drain and the poor battery life are the biggest kickers for me at this point. Once they get WiFi figured out, that will help a lot. The debug code is also sucking some life out of it.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
I tried it and it has some nice things and I can see the potential but not ready to be my daily driver..not even close...first issue is FPSE does not work! lol

After that there are just bugs here and there and there is lag in the scrolling of the app drawer with ADW for example. Some things are snappy and fast like loading games for N64 emulator but others are just not there...of course it is a work in progress so it makes sense. Still it was fun to test it and if FPSE was working and we had a 1.4Ghz kernel for it, I would have kept it a bit longer but couldnt take it for too long :-)

It so... red....

Have you tried it with Paragon yet?

I've had mixed results with other themes.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
I'm dreaming of a Gingergon ROM~

Anyways I went about a day w/o Lookout and didn't really see a significant decrease in battery drainage. I suspect I just have bad hardware... Might buy another battery to see if I have any luck with that and to just have a spare battery on hand
[Captivate Android Development] GTIVRon:
Yea, that red theme is a little TOO red, lol. I'm going for more of a red with white accents thing, I'll post screenshots when I get through making more changes..

Also Kyuta, why not try that extended battery. I think they send you a new cover for it too. I'm not too pressed on battery life, since I do okay as long as I'm not playing a game for too long. With normal use (emails, texting, calling, short game here and there, surfing a bit, streaming music) my phone will go a whole day. I'm thinking if I really want to start watching TV on it or play a game for hours on end, I'll try the extended battery, and cut a hole in my bodyglove case where the battery will get in the way..
[Captivate Android Development] Phateless:
Bummer. Have you tried doing a factory reset?

I hate to ask stupid questions here but Captivate root methods are a bit different than what I'm used to. All the root guides say to ODIN back to stock before flashing a rom. Do they also tell you to wipe data/factory reset in recovery before flashing your new rom?

If not, I'm sure that's causing issues.
[Captivate Android Development] TheMightyElk:
i have the same issue with the car dock audio. its almost intolerable but i downloaded a thing called galaxytuner and i am using a forced eq. still has no bass. any ideas would make this the pinnacle of roms in my opinion.. oh and contacts force closes in car-dock mode.. i don't really care tho..
[Captivate Android Development] Doug8796:
does anyone here have a stock smartbench . TIA
[Captivate Android Development] scuba_d:
what is a stock smartbench?
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Maybe he means a run of Smartbench at stock speed?
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
It seems the camera and video camera does not work with apps that require a working camera. Here is the fixed camera.apk and camera_firmware.apk.....I tested it on the Barcode Scanner app and it works perfectly. It should work on any app that requires a working camera. Just unzip and place the two apk's in system/app.
[Captivate Android Development] Jammn:
Unable to save APN

Help!! I have lost my data services. A check in the APN shows none saved, but whenever I create a new one and save it the list is still blank.

This has happened to me once before and the only way I could fix it was to reinstall Paragon.

Any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] carboncopy01:
i think the problem is on your end
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Is anyone going to try out PlumbBob's newest GPS fix that was released today? I would like to know if it has actually helpped your GPS or hurt it vs Paragon's fix.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
GPS fixes seem to vary a LOT for different phones and areas so I doubt some elses experience will be of much help.

I ended up testing pretty much everything until I got the best for my phone/area.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
True true, I might just test it out later myself granted I don't really use my GPS all that much cep when I go out of state and I usually end up in a location where GPS reception is poor and usually unreliable...
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Is it just me or are there others here who keep reading the other ROM threads but don't try any of them? I almost feel like I don't want to piss my phone off by taking Paragon away from it.
[Captivate Android Development] tmng95014:
I am on RC6 and just test Barcode scanner; it works fine with the built in camera. Don't know what issue do you refer to.
[Captivate Android Development] tmng95014:
I am quite happy with the current GPS performance on RC6 and has no reason to try something new.
[Captivate Android Development] tmng95014:
I figured this out. To do conference call, need to put the first call on hold, then use sub-menu to add call and dial the number. Then merge the call.

Hope this help others here.

txt message question

I have recentlly noticed that i cannot resend txt messages. is this a generic 2.2 issue or is it Paragon? :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Might be just your phone. Long press on a previously sent text brings up a huge menu. Resend is the first option for me.
[Captivate Android Development] mopo01:
long pressing gets me message options with the first being delete. no resend option ??? I saw someoneelse in the QA section had same question. oh well not a terrible issue
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
sorry.. I use Chomp. Didn't check the messaging app. It doesn't show resend, you're correct.
[Captivate Android Development] GTIVRon:
I never remember using resend..

But I think that option may only show up if for some reason the message fails to send. A week ago when I was in BFE, KS, I wasn't able to send a text msg, but as soon as I got service the msg was sent...
[Captivate Android Development] tmng95014:
Unless I misunderstood what you are asking...

First you need to be in the message the long press bring up message menu, the 2nd option is forward which you can resend the message.
[Captivate Android Development] Jengle:
I get resend when the message fails, but like you, not after it has been sent.
[Captivate Android Development] tmng95014:
Would forward work for you? If yes see my comment in above post.
[Captivate Android Development] mopo01:
forward requires to retype the contact. just sometimes being able to resend a "Thanks" would be nice. actually i send my son in collage a wake up txt :rolleyes: in the morning. resend would be nice. :)
[Captivate Android Development] mopo01:
i definitly had a resend option before the smart phone. not sure if the captivate ever had a resend option. just was looking for it the other day.
[Captivate Android Development] tmng95014:
Did not seem a good deal of trouble to retype contact or select one from contact list. BUT if you insist, best go look for an app. There probably one that has the feature you seek. Good luck!
[Captivate Android Development] mopo01:
not big deal but when driving its easier
[Captivate Android Development] tmng95014:
It is best to avoid texting while driving and use an app like Vlingo.
[Captivate Android Development] Jengle:
Yes, forward works too.
[Captivate Android Development] mopo01:
my point vlingo also needs you to press send and such it helps with the typing. Resending allows for min input. Its not a big deal but like every thing these phones can do most things you ask of them so was wondering....
[Captivate Android Development] gabby131:
i flashed the 1400mhz kernel via SGS kernel flasher (on a stock I896 rom), working fine, but "app locker" applications (like App Protector Pro) is not working......wondering why.....or is there a thing I can do,

my deepest thanks in advance.
[Captivate Android Development] tmng95014:
1400MHz is very aggressive. I saw some others here running 1300MHz kernel successfully. I am OK with the default 1200MHz. Sorry don't have the answer for you.

*EDIT by the way, the kernel here is flashed using CWM; I don't know if SGS Kernel flasher introduced issue or not...
[Captivate Android Development] gabby131:
hmmm.....even running at a conservative governor?

EDIT:

oooopsie....setcpu shows on 10 mins idle with no internet connections:

1400mhz time in state is 79154

200mhz time in state is 51203

EDIT 2:

working fine on the SGS kernel flasher treatment.......just the app protector pro is not protecting my apps...

[Captivate Android Development] jayjr1105:
I'm kind of getting antsy waiting around for 6.1 or 7. If I try some other roms for asthetics can I keep the paragon kernel? If so, do I just flash the roms I want them flash the kernel I want with cwm?
[Captivate Android Development] tmng95014:
Yes you can BUT you will need to pick a ROM that is compatible with 2.2.1 JS3.
[Captivate Android Development] gabby131:
Geezus!!! i just only got to flash the kernel and the rest are stock + OCLF and freakin' fast! I cant keep up on it!!!!

-static on bluetooth calls = ouch! does anybody also have this? I believe other ROMs (w/c has HSUPA support) does have static issues on bluetooth calls.
[Captivate Android Development] bubba9004:
I just flashed this and get a force close saying (process com.android.settings) has stopped when I try to change the lock screen wallpaper. Any one have any ideas?

I did the usual flash back with odin and cleared caches before installing too.

also I would like to install the bluesteel v3.1 theme and was wanting to know, what I should swap out before installing?

It's generally a bad idea to mix an I9000 Kernel (The Paragon Kernel) with an I897 ROM/Modem (Stock) as I'm understanding you have done. Correct me if I'm wrong...

Okay, since we are in a bit of a lull (:LOL:), this may be a good time to ask a simple question. I have searched xda and googled, but have not found an answer. If I am flashing a new ROM, and want to do a master clear, and not restore system data, is there a way to restore the ringtones assigned to my contacts? I am using titanium backup, and have not found an item that I recognize that would do this restore.

TIA

[Captivate Android Development] Jammn:
Hi. I use Contact Group Manager from the Market to manage the ringtones for the groups I have created in Google Contacts. It makes reassigning ringtones to groups a breeze after flashing, but unfortunately ringtones for individuals is still a painfull one at a time process.

The first time I tried to use the video camera, the app crashed twice. Since then, it seems to be working ok. Plus, the still camera works ok with Google Goggles.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
I'm not sure which one it is, but the system files highlighted in green in Titanium Backup are generally safe to restore. A few have to deal with Contacts, and one of them will restore contact ringtones. You'll have to reboot after restoring.
[Captivate Android Development] jayjr1105:
I think I'm going to flash continuum with the paragon kernel. Is that compatible? And could someone link the paragon rc6 kernel DL link. Do you just flash the rom, flash the new kernel on top of it with CWM and thats it?
[Captivate Android Development] Weselers:
hey just wanted to say sorry if this has already been addressed I did serach first though and didn't find my answer, I cannot flash the cwm kernels using recovery... I've tried rebooting into recovery many times. But everytime i go to flash the kernel it either puts me into 3e recovery, which to my knowledge there is no OK button so i can't do anything there. Or I start flashing the kernel and it aborts (E: failed to verify whole-file signature E: signature verification failed) plz any help would be great

oh and turned signature verification off now it just says the file is bad...
[Captivate Android Development] tmng95014:
Why would you want to do that? Even if you can do it, if there is a problem, where will you get support from? I follow the entire thread and did not see anyone tried to do this. Good luck if you must!

In case anyone was wondering why XDA is changing the rules to only allow those with 10+ posts to post in the dev section...

Thanks for the insightful posts, guys. :)

Moving along... some real replies.

This could be related to a bad flash but, more probably, a bad Titanium Backup restore. The safest way to fix this would be to flash back to stock and reflash Paragon. Next time you restore from TiBu, don't restore system apps & data, just user apps & data. Also, don't restore Barcode Scanner; just download it from the Market. It seems like Barcode Scanner is an app that gets mentioned often on the "things that seem to get screwed up with TiBu restores" list. Actually, AFAIK, there isn't such a list, but perhaps there should be?

I don't have any suggestions for Mobile AP; I've never used it. You might have some luck posting this in Q&A.

I love having Bluetooth voice dialing back. I used it all the time on my previous phones. It's working really well for me, so far.

+1. I think I used a ROM that had this fix included - either di11igaf's ROM or Serendipity - but I can't remember for sure. That was at least 5 days ago! That's WAY too long ago for me to remember such things. :)

I went to espnradio.com but the site just says "Call to Listen is no longer available". I really wanted to hear the demonic voices! I suggest TuneIn Radio instead of streaming through the website. ESPN radio is available in TuneIn, and the interface on TuneIn is buttery smooth. Plus, it has about every radio station you can think of streaming through it.

EDIT: Just to clarify, my snarky comment about new users was only directed to the first two quotes in this post. Everybody else, we're cool! :D

That's a big @$$ reply LOL but you've got your point.

I had some time to work on RC3 today since I'm home sick from work. I have strep throat :mad:

Anyway, the demonic voice issue with espn radio has been fixed thanks to the info provided by shaolin95. Everything is done except for the minor issue of the dark text on the dark background when you are downloading an app. I can't figure out where the dark text is coming from. Driving me crazy. If there are any theming gurus out there lurking I would love some tips to get me looking in the right direction!

Hey eSPyeL,

I just installed your ROM, it's actually my first custom ROM and I must say I love it. Everything works great. Calls come in and go out nice and clear, which is a good thing because I've heard mixed reviews on that from others using I9k modems.

I had been running the 2.2 JI6 leak we got back in October and then starting late in December I started having random shutdowns. A flash back to JF6 2 days ago solved the issue so now I'm fooling around with all the ROMs we have.

Keep up the good work and I look forward to new updates in the future!

Edit: Actually I've run into a small hiccup that I had once before on the 2.2 JI6 leak... I connected to my home wifi, and it worked fine for all of about 10 minutes until I put the phone down for a little. When I picked it up again, the wifi had disconnected and it told me that my SSID had been "Disabled, Remembered, Secured with WPA/WPA2 PSK". Any ideas what causes this?
