Category pagination dilemma?

We all know the pagination that comes with Vivvo 4 and how powerful this tool can be.
However pagination seems to break when you are running your own params and not keeping with the standard default params="{content_params}" in the <vte:box> tag for a template.
Now if I am running my own params and I click to the second page (index.2.html) it loads the same content that was just on the first page (index.1.html).
The main question is:
How can I continue to use my custom params and have pagination work?

This is not much an issue in other open-source CMS's.
