[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
There is a sensor in the 3d gallery that constantly runs and drains battery. The highlighted section is letting us know they are using a fixed version

This may be a bit of a head scratcher as to why I'd even want to do this, but is there a way to put some of the Samsung Apps BACK on this rom? I'm running RC4 and I see the apps installed, but none of them actually work. And trying to push them and their .odex files in ADB doesn't seem to make them work either. Any help would be appreciated, and if not I can live without them. Great rom though, thanks for all your hard work, I'm very impressed with my Captivate's performance.
[Captivate Android Development] slyguy2000:
totally smooth. very nice job! this is the end all rom from here on out. its nice to finally see the captivate work like it is physically supposed to, and not just theoretical. Many thanks to eSPyeL and the whole Paragon team (including all testers and people who gave good feedback/input on this revolutionary ROM) for taking us beyond, where AT&T and Samsung left us hanging in the breeze.

continuing to still enjoy my Captivate...since RC3.

[Captivate Android Development] deanhatescoffee:
I had this concern when I was using another ROM. If I recall correctly, any ROM that is based on i9000 will make the phone be recognized by apps as an i9000. Since the Captivate is the i897, the AT&T apps won't work unless the ROM is modded to allow the phone to be recognized as a Captivate i897 versus being recognized as an i9000 Galaxy S. I'm not sure how hard that is to change. I think the only downside is that the Samsung Apps won't work, as they would have the opposite problem of the AT&T apps.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Thank you eSPyeL again for another smooth ROM! The install went smoothly!

..and also thanks to shaolin95 for the "mini overclocking" guide!. I ran my usual tests and and passed with flying colors.. many thanks guys!:D
[Captivate Android Development] sliderocket22:
So if I follow you correctly, the apps on the Captivate stock ROM (Buddies Now, Feeds and Updates, etc.) are considered AT&T apps, not Samsung ones? I don't care for apps like Family Maps or AT&T Music and what not, just some of the Samsung widgets would be nice to have back. But if the process of allowing these to be reinstalled takes modding a ROM to think it is one model when it is another, I may just have to be content! I'm starting to get my hands into Android development, but that sounds like it's way out of my league for now.
[Captivate Android Development] eSPyeL:
Nah, you don't have to mod the rom for that. Which apps/widgets are you looking for?
[Captivate Android Development] chuby007:
I would love to have the app ( as I said before ) that shows twitter and facebook as a widget, that was what I checked when I wokeup every day, I think it is buddies now, you actually gave the APK a few posts ago, me and like 3 other guys tried to install it but it did not work.

we have no idea why, it just does not install

I think it is buddies now the widget.
[Captivate Android Development] RaneMan:
Finished my configs and flashed...everything looks great and runs well. I have noticed a couple of lockups and lags but they seem to be clearing up. Off to finish setting up mu oc/uv. Nice work again eSPyeL!! Interested to see the differences between rc4 and rc5 with battery life and other things.

[Captivate Android Development] carboncopy01:
is is possible to upload this via torrent?
[Captivate Android Development] slyguy2000:
eSPyeL,

I notice with the JK4 modem, even on wifi I max out at ~8mbps down (with 12/2 fios) ...all in all not too bad. but, using KP1 modem I can hit 13.6mbps down... I am assuming the modem firmware also affects wifi radio?

I can hit reliably 2.65mbps down and 1.78mbps on HSUPA with both modems, but wifi is where I see the difference.

**all tests run using same server location, using speedtest.net

[Captivate Android Development] deanhatescoffee:
It would be possible but someone would have to start the torrent from a computer that's on all the time with good upload speeds.
[Captivate Android Development] chuby007:
gonna try to set up a mirror... I just have to wait and see how it works with my crappy upload speed...

ok here's the mirror I placed: http://www.internettico.com/paragon/paragon-rc5beta18.zip

I'll allow around 200-300 downloads of it, the server is fast, but I have a bandwidth cap, and I'm not gonna pay for

more right now... so that's my small contribution to the paragon releases.
[Captivate Android Development] chuby007:
For the ones that even cared about my last post gonna post how long it takes me to re-do all the stuff and return to my previous state

3:31 I rebooted to recovery mode to delete battery stats, going back to paragon now..

3:32 looking for titanium backup.. but I can't seem to find it so gonna go in the marketplace to get it

3:33 I know that eSPyeL said this came with titanium so I'm gonna do a factory reset to see if it shows up ok factory data reset done restarting

3:36 I wonder why it takes so long to start... I guess you have to wait for the good stuff.. oh well.. waiting...

3:38 No titanium backup so I'm gonna go to the market to get it

3:39 I have flashed enough times that I know to check for basic functions just to know.. so here I go 1 sms, out, one in, 1 call in and 1 call out

3:39 all good...

3:40 gonna get titanium off the market...

3:43 Ti installed I had to put my wifi network on and I forgot the password :D

4:24 new launcher and buddies now did not install

4:25 done..

FYI, this step is not necessary. Would have only saved you 4 minutes so its no big deal.

Enjoyed your log though, thanks.

Hey eSPyeL, what did you do to improve GPS in RC5? It was pretty darn good already.
[Captivate Android Development] evrionis:
I have captivate/rogers and have been running phoenix 4.1 rom with the paragon rc4 kernel great.

I have download a few of the new paragon kernels, and have trouble with my network, I cannnot get any connection with WCDMA or GSM.

Can this be due to that the RC4 kernel is based on JPY and the new kernel is based on JPX?

Wanted to post this again. I use the gmail app for gmail( duh)

I don't normally get pics embedded in the email, but a friend sent me one last night and I couldn't open it or save it from the body of the email. I can save attachments, but not an embedded pic. Anyone have a clue how to do it? Long press, single, double don't work. Nothing in the menu or settings. Weird. I used to be able to but haven't tried in a good few months since most are sent as attachments.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
I used it, flashed it and kept it. Was a sketchy ride though doing it with a pretty good buzz from the bar. All said and done, I have %13 battery left. No way was I waiting 3 more hours til I got home.

visit from a stranger.. LOL~!
[Captivate Android Development] recz:
sorry where rc5 update only?
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
There won't be one because RC5 is based off JS3 and all the previous were based off JPY.

What's the difference between 100Hz & 500Hz kernels? Which one would be better for battery life? Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:

[Captivate Android Development] FredOak3:
Boo-Ya, First time going back to stock and doing a flash. Perfect.

But trust me it pays to read and understand what the hell your doing.

Once I had that from start to finish done in 20 minutes...went slow just to make sure I did everything right.

1012 build guidance for a newb...

Newb here, looking for a bit of guidance. I've had my Captivate for 2 weeks. It's my first smartphone, first android phone. The first thing out of the box I flashed RC3, and I'm using RC4 now - very impressive! But moving to RC5 has me a bit worried with requiring a return to stock first. My Cappy is a 1012 build. From what I've gathered care has to be taken in choosing the correct Odin to return it to stock and avoid bricking it. This post appears to have it covered: [Guide] How to Recover a Build #1010 Captivate to Stock/Current 2.1 Eclair JH7 , but I'm not sure. If some of the experts here could confirm that procedure, or point me to another preferred procedure I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Those are the correct steps. Honestly you do not have to flash stock, it is recommended.

If you are going to experience the most with your phone you might as well learn those steps so you can flash freely
[Captivate Android Development] visionlogic:
Thank you sir. Will do!

Is it possible to change anything in the ROM before flashing so that a lag fix is not applied?

It's probably just me and my impeccable hearing, but I cant tell a difference with the the sound after the voodoo update is applied and I installed the voodooapp. What should I notice? Its obviously a big deal to some and I want in on the action!

Well i have to say, I thought running the unreleased 2.2 roms OC was about as good as it was going to get! But this thing is smooth and quick. It is by far the best, quickest, smoothest, best GPS, best sound quality, best data speed, and anything else, rom i have ever run!!! Well done good sir. Well done! I am enjoying this immensely.

GPS note:

I have always had to have my phone on a window dash mount and now i can leave it down near my shifter in my car and i get almost perfect GPS tracking. Its unreal!

As far as Voodoo Sound, you have to download the Voodoo App from the market!
[Captivate Android Development] storm68:
Neither did I. I had to get it from market... (free)
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
I had originally flashed RC1 but restored all apps and someone mentioned that restoring the system apps breaks this ROM so I reflashed RC2. Having issues with the bottom buttons but I generally have issues with the bottom buttons after a flash that generally goes away after a while. I just have a few questions though. When I restored my apps and data the wallpaper changed. How do I get the default wallpaper back? Also how do I setup a startup sound? The PowerOn.wav in /system/etc/ isn't working.
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
Gotcha, tested that and I see now. Good addition to have.

Not by default, you have to boot into recovery and set it to do so. At least it didn't for me.
[Captivate Android Development] eSPyeL:
Not by default. Done from recovery.

Is anyone facing force close of voltage control. After flash i was able to open it and saw only about 6 states. Tibu restore had newer version so restored it now can't open
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
eSPyeL had mentioned going back to an older version of Voltage Control because of issues with the newer version. Sorry I can't be more of a help =/

As for the gMail thing, I can't seem to find a way to do it from the app, but you could always login through a browser and get it that way.

Woot.. at least 25% faster than rc4.

Great job!!

Navigate to: system/etc/init.d and delete s_voltage_scheduler. Then reboot. This should fix it.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Gmail issue fixed

Thanks to SmithEC for helping with some ideas

Had to pull the gmail APK from the ROM again and push it again using Droid Explorer. Somehow it was not working properly. Rebooted again after the push and images now have the Preview and Download buttons below.

As for the ROM itself?

Amazing GPS as usual for Paragon. 10 out of 10 in 11 seconds with high of 44 and low of 29. Tracked well on my drive to work taking the backroads (I4 sucks!)

Speed is better than RC4 (is that possible???)

Left with a full charge and am at %88 now after 33 emails, 60 texts, Changing some LP settings, 60 mins of music and the 30 minute track to the office. Pulled it from the charger at 5:50am and it stayed at %100 for a good 15 minutes till I fired up the GPS and started the track.

Well done eSPyeL, well done

The app was modified specifically to the kernel....you may need to use un-installer for root (or TiBU) and remove voltage control app, move the one from your kernel zip file, back on to the phone and use an installer to re install

no i havent done that. It says battery fully charged but displays 98% . what exactly do i need to do?

It's not the "ROM" it's either the install, something that has been installed, battery, calibration like mentioned above or user but, it's not the "ROM"....if that were true we would all be having the issue. My battery life is exceptional (13 hours of generously moderate use and still above 50% left). Time to start looking elsewhere instead of blaming the "ROM".

Oh btw...all values set at 0 means you are running at full power but, that is still not going to fix your issue.
