There has to be something wrong with the battery meter! I have gone in and checked status within about phone to confirm...Anyway.

2 hours 53 minutes

43 minutes of screen time on auto brightness

12 minutes of phone calls

I am still showing FULL.

I did a full battery calibration and just took it off the charger...well, obviously 2 hours 53 minutes ago. I am assuming this thing is just not accurate because that is insane.

It is a fantastic ROM, I have never seen anything like this though and I flash 3-5 times per week at least and have for months.
[Captivate Android Development] eSPyeL:
What does it say under settings -> about phone -> status -> Battery level ?
[Captivate Android Development] deanhatescoffee:
I would eat 50 eggs to get a battery that good.
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
100%.

The only thing I have done to rc3 is reflash the jk4 modem. Will leave it unplugged all night. I assume I will at some point see a big drop and need to do a recalibration. Just strange, never seen this occur. I do love the job you did, been my favorite since axura 2.1
[Captivate Android Development] deanhatescoffee:
On the next version, can you hide the USB Debugging notification? I saw this on another ROM and thought it was nice, since we all keep our phones on USB Debugging anyway, we don't need the reminder.
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
Anyone else have an issue with the themed black Market turning white like stock?
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
I went into sgs tools and clicked on

Usage stats and device info. Shows 100%. 3946mV and 33C.

Blows me away.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
I think you need to be smoking something good to get that battery! :D
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
LOL. im not saying its accurate, just saying that's what it said. Still at 100%. I downloaded shootme so I could upload pics but it says invalid format. Any suggestions if a better app?
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
Just to show what its saying. Not saying I think its accurate:
[Captivate Android Development] haircut:
Amazing! This rom has the best battery out of the other roms I've tried! it's the only one that lasted me a full 24 hours on extremely high usage (equivalent to lasting 5 hours on stock rogers 2.1). It's too amazing! I can finally trust my phone not to die during the day!

Is this for real? I know pics dont lie, but seriously?!
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
Something within my phone has to be reporting incorrectly...somehow....Its my phone and I see no way it is possible. Thats why I am posting it. I have reflashed the JK4 modem. I have UV set at -50,-75,-75,-125,-125,-150. I am OC to 1280.

I got a feeling that this thing will die with it saying full. Everything was fine and seemed normal. I charged to 100% and took it off and used it until it was at about 20%, put back on charge because I was going to be leaving and using it a bunch. Charged to about 50% and redischarged to 10%. Charged to 100% and that is the point it said full and has said full for WAY too long. Sure its a glitch but thats why I am posting the shot from SGS tools that shows the battery voltage. It is at 3815mV currently after 13.5 hrs....or thats what it is showing.

Just so everyone is clear Im not making this up although I would think so if I saw this posted. Will be interesting to see what happens.
[Captivate Android Development] bentonhall:
Just curious.... Did you boot up with the power cord still plugged in after clearing the battery stats?
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
I dont remember if I did or not. I would think I unplugged it because it has became second nature to unplug it before I do flashes, clear stats, etc. I used SGS tools script to clear stats so I didnt reboot but I sorta remember unplugging it before I left in the morning and then clearing stats.

I cleared stats on the 20th and that was before I ran through the confusing charge/recharge situation I posted above. That is why I am posting voltage level from within SGS tools. I would think that the displayed % would have some relation to the mV level so I was hoping somoene would know a bit more about that.

I will post the outcome or answer specific questions about this but I dont want to take over the tread for what almost has to be a fluke. I have just not seen this in the God only knows how many flashes I have done since I got this phone in September.
[Captivate Android Development] eSPyeL:
If you run logcat it will display periodic battery status updates. Does logcat report the same thing?
[Captivate Android Development] Ricparr:
anyone else not have gifs animating in the stock browser or dolphin HD? Not a big deal, rather small one actually but was just wondering as they worked on the last rom I had.

Oh and as far as battery, I thought it was gonna be avg at first....then it got to around 20% and it took me forever to kill it off so I could calibrate it. was up for a good 12+ hours of heavy usage, and then overly aggressive please die so I can go to bed usage before it gave in. Excellent work dev!
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
Don't know how to run logcat without plugging it in. Tell me what to do and I will.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
I had the battery stuck on 100 once with another ROM but I did a wipe battery stats and it started to work normally again.

Only one time that happened though.
[Captivate Android Development] eSPyeL:
Just install a terminal app from the market. Run logcat from the terminal.
[Captivate Android Development] paracutin:
Or use alogcat.
[Captivate Android Development] mark_20:
Any estimate on when the new version will be out? AT&T just replaced my phone, again, and I need to replace the 2.1 OS on it.
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
Running. Where are the logs stored? Haven't seen battery % so far watching termibal but im sure I will find it in the log if I let it run long enough.
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
Don't know where to get the log from but while watching via terminal.....3772mV and 100%
[Captivate Android Development] eSPyeL:
When I'm 100% confident it's ready :) No need to wait though. I'll have a simple flashable update zip so you don't have to lose anything when the new version comes out.
[Captivate Android Development] eSPyeL:
fancy widget

Who was it that was having the issue with fancy widget causing the notification menu to lag a bit? I have something I would like for you to test :)
[Captivate Android Development] chuby007:
The widget I miss

Guys I'm really missing the widget that said:

Feeds and Updates, no idea how to get it back can someone spare the apk

This is a picture of that application ( from youtube)
[Captivate Android Development] eSPyeL:
I think that's BuddiesNow. I attached the apk.
[Captivate Android Development] JasonCL:
I finally got tired of waiting for Samsung/AT&T to get Froyo out to us so I flashed Paragon a few days ago. I'm not even going to bother trying out any other ROMs.

THANK YOU for making my phone finally be what it should have been out of the box.
[Captivate Android Development] bentonhall:
I'm not the one who brought it up, but I use launcher pro and fancy widget and the only time I have noticed lag in the notification pull down is after opening app brain. CPU notification runs at 100% for a couple minutes after launching it. After that, no lag in the notification menu.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Good decision... I have tried them all and I am staying on this one.

It is a fantastic ROM and wait till you see whats coming up to make it even better plus the developer is very friendly and does not have the dreaded DIVA complex others have developed! :)
[Captivate Android Development] CapnPez:
Is there a way to make those widgets work with launchers other than twlauncher? There's a couple I like, but prefer to use different launchers (adw or go launcher) but the samsung widgets don't show up as an option.
[Captivate Android Development] bethanensinger:
I used to be between this and firefly, but then the kernels overclocking and the fact that my gps is 100% stable (as long as i am outside) brought me to make this one my default. Ill still tries some roms when i get bored, but when I just want to use phone functions this works awesomely
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
I get Activity not found trying the Buddies Now app.
[Captivate Android Development] androidpwns:
This is simply the best Captivate ROM out there at the moment... Best battery life, best GPS and imo the best looking theme and animations. Performance means nothing to me without good battery life and this one has both. I also like the fact that this ROM has the latest version of Swype... Why is it that most other devs always put older versions of Swype when the latest version is usually the best performing one?
[Captivate Android Development] theMaDHakkeR:
That was me. Also want to mention, the menu lags sometimes after unlocking the screen also. When I go into an app its very smooth, and then in the launcher its laggy. This is sometimes also random and can be smooth, and then just start to lag again. But only in the launcher and not in any apps.

ok some help

hi I've been having this problem and I have tried a lot of things to fix it but without any luck, I REALLY love this rom but this is a real dealbreaker for me.

I can't get incoming calls, I have gone over and over the modem thread and well I can do everything but get incoming calls, I can call out, bat life for me seems the same, however the rom IS VERY fast, and I have to say that yesterday I got my first every GPS lock since I got this phone not 1 but 8 gps, so really I'm happy but I want to make it work...

Any advice would be appreciated.

the phone justs like wants to ring then it stops, then I get to chirps, and I briefly noticed that it said "no signal" but I do have signal... since I can make outbound calls.

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] eSPyeL:
This is %99.9 caused by restoring a titanium backup and having an old phone.apk restored. Do NOT restore system apps or settings.
[Captivate Android Development] FLAC Vest:
Hey I installed two days ago and I love it, quick question however.

The voodoo sound, is that already implimented and if so, does it just make audio sound better? As in, if I were to put some songs on the phone and play them with the stock music program, would they sound better than a stock Captivate?

If not, how can I get it and install it? Thanks. Oh and just for the record, I also upgraded my data plan to 2gb (thank God lol) and while browsing the internet, multitasking, and just doing things on the phone, the speed stays as fast as ever (max 1gb cpu).

Great job man; this is my first custom rom and I'm definitely glad I chose yours.
[Captivate Android Development] chuby007:
ok I indeed did a complete titanium backup, of the old stock rom so I guess I could have , F'ed it, so I gues I'm going back to a stock and re-flashing it all...

the only boring part of this is to re-flash the stock rom and then paragon...

I hope I have it before the superbowl..

BTW if someone has this rom spare phone.apk so I can install it before I install it completly that would be appreciated.. thanks
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
Someone else will chime in with the benefits but as I understand it it adds some volume and cleans up the sound a bit. You need to download the voodooapp from the market, what they have done with this is make the kernel support it.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
I did this the first time too. However the ones highlighted green in Titanium Backup are safe to restore data wise (ie. Contacts, text messages, Alarms, BT Pairings, etc.)

*edit*

Also restoring the Phone.apk from the ROM doesn't help, I tried...
[Captivate Android Development] chuby007:
ok yes that was ...

ok that was the problem I restored it to factory default, so I did not have to reinstall and then it worked

then I did a titanium restore and it died again

I guess I'm gonna have to be more selective on what to restore...

I guess sms, contacts and such I should keep the rest nope...
[Captivate Android Development] bethanensinger:
does anyone know of any themes for this, digging the green theme for now, but it would be awesome if there were a red one. Also does it work with other themes if they are JPY?
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Yes JPY themes should work as I have tried about 4 without issues.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Just user apps and data + the green system data. All the red ones are a no no.

So what I do is do a Batch Restore of Missing Apps + Data (not System Data) then restore the Green System Data individually. I also have the Pro version so that makes doing this a lot easier.
[Captivate Android Development] bethanensinger:
Awesome now off to search for some awesome themes
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
As we all knew would happen, my battery still showed "full" when it shutdown from a dead battery. Just plugged it in, will clear battery stats once it is fully charged and see what happens! Still though, sometime in the past 30 minutes when I last checked before I noticed it had shut down my stats were:

20hrs 28 min up time

3hrs 40 minutes screen time

18min 42 sec calls

Very nice job on the ROM man, this was just a stupid little glitch on my phone, nothing to do with the ROM itself. Sticking with this ROM for now, its a great blend of speed and battery life.
[Captivate Android Development] FLAC Vest:
Thanks a lot man, downloading and installing it now. I forgot how good this phone sounded stock with a little tweaking of the EQ.

Using Shure SE535s
[Captivate Android Development] deanhatescoffee:
I meant to post this days ago, when I upgraded from RC2 to RC3. SGS Tools and another tweaks app (can't even remember what it's called now) disappeared after the upgrade. Also, I can't download paid Market apps, just free ones. I keep getting an error that says, "A server error has occurred. Retry, or cancel and return to the previous screen." Does anyone else have these problems?
[Captivate Android Development] xavier55:
how everyone like the battery life on this? to me it sucks the life out my phone no matter what i do... i use jucie defender and still something is draining my battery really fast
[Captivate Android Development] chuby007:
Same here, I tried to install Biddies now and I get the same "Activities not found"

Any ideas of what could have happen ? or how do we fix this ?
[Captivate Android Development] xavier55:
i get that with this rom also not complaining they did a great job with the ui but somethings just not working great..... but like i said keep up the good work it can on get better
[Captivate Android Development] eSPyeL:
Are these apps you have already purchased and are trying to install or apps you are trying to purchase?
[Captivate Android Development] xavier55:
for me both
[Captivate Android Development] eSPyeL:
I'm able to download purchased apps just fine...
[Captivate Android Development] bentonhall:
I had SGSTools installed before upgrading to RC3 and it still worked fine. Also able to install paid apps from the market with no issues.
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
Battery life is fantastic, read through the thread...there are many posts about it. I would suggest downloading osmonitor from the market and see what is eating your battery.

I have had success in the past with disabling autorotate and just turn it on when I need it. osmonitor showed quite a drop but that has not been the case for Paragon. I also found that most of my apps that were pushing data were eating me alive such as my corporate email.

This ROM is great, after using this for a few days I quit looking at the other ROMs in the forum. Keep up the great work.

Now if only Samsung could do as good a job with their testing and development.........

Question for the Devs out there

With the Android 2.2 based ROMs the option to assign ringtones to a Google Contacts Group was added. In pretty much every Android 2.2.1 based ROM I have tried this option is missing. Was this feature removed, or was it never implemented in the ROM the Devs are using?
[Captivate Android Development] eSPyeL:
Thanks a lot man! I really appreciate it!!
[Captivate Android Development] mark_20:
It is the least I could do, though I do not know how much longer I will be using a Captivate. AT&T has started to suggest that I take a different model phone, I am on my 5th Captivate in the last 6 weeks. They all have the Random Shutdown issue to varying degrees, with a few other issues thrown in for good measure.

Thinking of an HTC Inspire or the Motorola Atrix.....

I may also be getting a NIB Nexus One from a client.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
I think eSPyeL should make a section for most common issues and how to fix them. Such as the crash with incoming calls and not being able to download apps from the market as they come up a lot. Also the rare cases where the battery seems to drain faster (mine got better after a while and now it's great like everyone else's but I have reflashed the ROM several times for various reasons).

Also for OC/UV I think posting what everyone has had the best success with in the first post would be helpful too. Just a thought.
[Captivate Android Development] eSPyeL:
That's a lot of phones lol. The Inspire and Atrix look like beasts.

I wish I would have reserved more posts on the first page. A vast majority of the issues are all related to restoring system apps and data. I'll add that to the OP for sure. Good idea about the OC/UV recommended settings, but the kernel is about to change drastically so I'll wait until I release the new one.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
That Atrix has me drooling ever since I saw the docking options etc....what a beast.

I wish it has a Super AMOLED screen.
[Captivate Android Development] Sublim3_Tilt:
Referencing back to page 64 and 65 when I was having an issue with installing the ROM, Finally got it and test drove the app for one whole day, though it was 100% perfect for me until I noticed I didn't get one single phone call all day. Picked up my wife's phone and gave it a ring, it lit up and went blank, rang twice on my wife's phone with no option to answer or notification of missed call. I am going to try to reinstall this again, has anyone else had this problem?

I was also having A LOT of forced closes on my normal email, gmail was fine.

Still not able to master clear with Odin. :(
[Captivate Android Development] eSPyeL:
Definitely need to flash back to stock then master clear. After you flash back to stock you have to turn usb debugging on before you can master clear.
[Captivate Android Development] chuby007:
Same here, it seems as it was said on a post before, that I did a WRONG titanium restore, AKA I restored more than needed, so basically I just restored new apps with data and then the parts that where in green and voila the sistem is working great.

TC.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
To Master Clear with Odin you have to enable USB Debugging as for your FC issues make sure you're not restoring your System apps nor data (other then the ones highlighted green) with Titanium Backup.

*edit*

Didn't notice others had already responded :D
[Captivate Android Development] smallkennwire:
nid awesome battery life go for Rom Ultimate ... is great :D
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
A little Browser Mark run...nice score I think :-)

I used the stock browser
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Mine was able to do 1344Mhz before until I got this new beta kernel that took me to 1.4Ghz ...truly happy this new kernel...it is awesome so far.

How much are you able to do and what settings?

Thank you for this ROM. I love my Captivate again!

I had to hurry and post this before I get kicked out of the development forums. Hopefully I will be back in here posting again soon.
[Captivate Android Development] eSPyeL:
Not sure why you are getting kicked out, but thank you very much for the donation!! Glad you are enjoying your phone!
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
I have it currently running at 1.3Ghz -50mV where it seems fairly stable. Had it lock up once while switching home screens though. Not sure why. If there's way to set it to run between 1.3Ghz and 1.4Ghz I don't know how to do it. =/
[Captivate Android Development] kennonk:
Mine is really decent. Here is a screenie from today. I sent and received like 20 sms, made two 5-10 min phone calls and checked my exchange mail and gmail like 20 times. I am not sure why yours "sucks the life" you might want to reflash. Compared to the dozen other roms (with versions) I've tried in the last 3 months the only one that is comparable to Paragon RC3 on battery life so far is Andromeda IMHO.
[Captivate Android Development] deanhatescoffee:
Wow, your battery is a champ. My battery generally drains at about 5% per hour, even on standby. What are your OC/UV settings?
[Captivate Android Development] mnemonicj:
It should be only temporary for me since I am up to 3 posts already.
[Captivate Android Development] Sublim3_Tilt:
OK, first off, THANKS for your help. Successfully (and with no issues this time) Odin back to stock AND Master Reset! Loading the ROM now. Titanium Backup ONLY USER APPS, will test drive all day tomorrow and post more compliments/comments!

To anyone who has poor GPS with Paragon:

eSPyeL has done a great job of tweaking the Paragon ROM to make the GPS work. Based on the comments in this thread, it sounds like a lot of folks have had great success with GPS after flashing Paragon. For those who are still having issues, I would suggest you try the ZNKP1 modem. I was getting a GPS lock maybe 20% of the time with Paragon's default modem, JK4. With ZNKP1, I'm getting GPS locks 100% of the time. I'm not saying everyone will get the same results, of course, but if you're not getting locks with JK4 then give ZNKP1 a shot.

I'm attaching it here for convenience. Just flash it through CWM.
[Captivate Android Development] chuby007:
hey when I got paragon I did my first lock... 4 satellites and I was like ok maybe the chip is not working that good, I compared it to my other gps phone it got 8 satellites and locked in a few seconds ( 30 seconds tops )

I just got a lock of 12 satellites in less than 10 seconds, I can see 4 satellites indoors, and locke 8 satellites while standing under a roof on my backyard.

AMAZING.

Thank you very much !:D
[Captivate Android Development] Burkhalter:
This is now the first ROM that I've put on the Captivate that is both beautiful and functional. I have one of the earlier models that, unfortunately, just would not behave with GPS ever.

And so, an added bonus for finally getting GPS lock:	3UV01239P0871800D

Thanks again.
[Captivate Android Development] n7slc:
Anyone having problems with the battery not charging to full? Mine only charged to 98%, took it off the charger and used it for a few minutes and it went to 97%. Put it back on the charger and now it won't go higher than 97%.

I Odin'd back to stock, master cleared and I've recalibrated the battery...is it just a bad flash?

I flashed it just last night so I'm going to use it all day today and see how it works. I've got a charger on my desk and in my truck, just in case. ;)
