Hi,

follow this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1111771&page=3 to reflash your O B in stock rom. I have tested and its work 100%.

For cons, I skipped step 7 ("read phone information") because I had problems with my XP and the program closed with an error.

I then directly click "Launch Software Update" and everything was normal until the reboot of the device.

Also, ignore the error logs "dll not found .... ... 2004"

Regards :)

Weird i can't find out the cause of the sd card woes
[LG Optimus Black] PaulBort:
I was weary of the constant bug with invisible SD card after rebooting the phone. If in the nearest time there will be a fixed - go back to the native version.

It is 100% bug with the firmware, because I already wrote, that when after the reboot the card becomes invisible, it cannot be dismount/mount via settings - doing dismantled, and she at once automatically mounted and shows "available 0,00Gb". And every time open your phone after a reboot, to remount your map is very inconvenient.

At my Black the touchscreen tones doesn't work with nova v1.7.31.

But only the touchscreen tones, the keyboard tones working good.

Any reason?

Otherwise this rom works perfect on my phone!
[LG Optimus Black] blaubaer78:
Could anyone explain me what i can change at the "governor" settings at the "nova script"?

What is the difference between the several points 1-9 i can choose.

Thank you.
[LG Optimus Black] PaulBort:
Settings -> Sound

It should be noted "Sound when you select".

Questions from HongKong supporter:

1)what is the default CPU voltage?

2)I see this rom is UV-support. is it UV means undervoltage? is it also mean I can put down CPU default voltage ?

3)Can this ROM solve the ascending ringtone problem? I mean there is another choice for the mode of ringtone.

Thanks!
[LG Optimus Black] paperben:
hello,

Here are the different bugs listed on version1.7.31.

->Problem with the Flash Player on the Web, some module Flash not working and shows me a "page not found".

->When I pick up a call, the communication does not happen right away, there are 1 or 2 seconds without communication.

->Occasionally, rarely, the alarm is not heard, but this may be due to incorrect MP3 ringtone I set.

Tests continue ...

And by the way, Mr. Noejn, can you incorporate a QWERTZ keyboard in a future release. Or do you have a solution with an application

thanks :-)
[LG Optimus Black] exe127:
the communication does not happen right away, there are 1 or 2 seconds without communication<== Stock Rom has this problem either.

Hi,

I did a lot of tests during the day and I must say that this new version of Nova works really well for me.

This forum is really full and mutual assistance is awesome :-)

That said, can anyone tell me how to change this horrible color Turquoise on load bars, volume, writing in secondary settings, etc. ...????

I went through a lot of forums here and there for hours and I could not find anything convincing.

Multiple answers leads to change the framework-res.apk. I extract it, and unfortunately i can not find a PNG or other files that allows me to change that color.

I would love to return to the green Android, because even by installing other themes, the color remains the same!

Because it's an annoyance for some people (like me)
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
So how's it hanging?

Sorry for the lack of updates but like I said, I'm taking a few days off on the beach with the female. I'll be back for good monday and you can expect an update where I'll fix for good any microSD card problem. This is a promise.

I also have a few other ideas.
[LG Optimus Black] Aves83:
First of all: great job Noejn! Your Nova 1.7.31 ist the first custom ROM I ever tried (as the OB:16 is my first Android...) - and I like, no I love it!

Anyway, I found two small "bugs", even more nuisances than really bugs:

* Settings->Phone Information->Software Update

This results in an Android error message ("process com.android.settings was terminated unexpectedly") that I can only confirm with "Force Close". Of course the regular LG/service-provider-service-update-routine can not work on Nova, but can't you "catch" this exception?

*ES File Explorer on /

When I chose "Properties" from the context menu (long touch) for the folder /sys the process com.estrongs.android.pop terminates with the same error as above.

And I have some suggestion for the software that comes with the Nova ROM:

* [remove] LG calculator

There are much more powerful ones at the Market (e.g. RealCalc)and it's not really necessary for the system itself, is it? ;-)

* [add] LG Alarm

Seems to be much more integrated in the system than all the other alarms from the market, and as so many people use their phone as alarm clock....

* [add] several stuff everyone should have...

A task manager (e.g. Advanced Task), permission control manager for applications (e.g. LBE Privacy Guard) and a possibility to save notes (e.g. the LG app, AK Notepad). (All the other thinks I think everybody should have are not compatible to the idea of a "slim ROM"... ;-))

* [replace] Launcher

Last but not least I would love to have a launcher that allows me to make several individual settings, such as the amount and function of the "buttons" on the home screen (e.g. next to "phone", "apps" and "web" I want "SMS messages") or the number of screens and the position of the home screen(currently 2x2+1).

Hope I could help a little with my humble opinion and honest comments. :-)

PS: All menu names are directly translated from German, thus some might be not exactly the correct English name - but guess you'll find it anyway. ;-)
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Thanks for your feedback.

Regarding the bugs:

- Yes, it will close because software update is connected to a LG application. Since I removed the application to make it lighter, it will crash if you click that option. Best I can do is try to remove it from the list of settings.

- EStrongs annoys me too and I'm not being able to use it with root. I can't include root explorer because I'd be breaking XDA rules. So, most likely I will just put back CyanogenMod's File Manager or something.

As for the others, they are requests and I don't attend to them like stated in the first post. Not because I'm rude and I don't care but because everyone has their own tastes, favorite applications and type of usage. I've learnt a long time ago that it's not possible to please everyone on the theme, keyboard, launcher, applications, etc. So I just include the bare minimum and make people use the market.

So,

- LG alarm won't be included, you have many alarms on market. And by adding "LG alarm" I need to add more 2 apk which are dependencies, too much.

- I might consider removing calculator. I'm all for removing applications.

- No task managers, never. Don't use task managers. They harm your phone and decrease battery duration. RAM exists for being used and there is many documentation on google for reasons on not to use task killers. Regarding the notes, there are many notes applications out there (evernote, simplenote, independent notes, dropbox synced notes, notification bar notes, and so on), I can't guess each person taste so no note application.

- As for the launcher, it's like I said before, there's no universal loved launcher so I included the AOSP one. Now each one downloads their favorite, be it zeam (I use both aosp and zeam), adw, launcherpro, go launcher, wp7 launcher, ...

Anyway, this only restates what I already said on 3rd post nearby suggestions and bugs section: I do not attend to application requests.
[LG Optimus Black] pabgar:
Perfecly good plan :D

BTW: It has no sense to include specific apps as they usually become outdated within month or so.
[LG Optimus Black] pabgar:
Another perfect plan of You :D
[LG Optimus Black] Kalemucu:
I flashed this rom , it is awesome :)

Only problem, How can i get LG Alarm back ? :o
[LG Optimus Black] gomez_pt:
How can i customize the launcher? Cant see the options..

Good job :D
[LG Optimus Black] quyTam:
Can "FileExpert" be an alternative ?
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
Right now I'm testing 1.3 GHz and 76 volts. So far, it looks perfectly stable and freaking fast. Savagedzen governor enabled too, I think.

Is it dangerous testing above this frequency? I'm scared so I am going back to maybe 900mhz, that stills work great.

EDIT: 1.4 ghz freezed the phone. 1.3 worked fine though. However, after using overclock with script I am getting screen response issues like before... :S

@Noejn,

Chief take a look at new posted roms for example in the new 10b orange romania rom t9 in dialer is activated :) and also the battery drain seams better.

Regards,

[LG Optimus Black] Aves83:
As Noejn mentioned above, the LG Alarm has dependencies to at least two other LG application. To avoid this senceless overhead think about another alarm from the Market. I decided to give AlarmDroid a try and so far it works good for me: seems to be reliable, works with the lock screen, has some nice settings; maybe the menu is a little bit confusing at some parts...

Unfortunately not at all: the launcher that comes with Nova does not support customization. If you find a good one at the market that is similar to the current but allows customization: give me a note. I would really appreciate it as this is one of the last remaining points on my list: "try some launchers from the market to find a good one"

I would like that one too - <support/>. Does anyone know about the license? Somehow I have a presentiment that it is not really a open source license...

Update to my experience with Nova (1.7.31 on OB:16):

So far it seems to me like the battery life is reduced to about 12 hours with regular use (regular as in "regular for me": UMTS enabled, WiFi disabled, some calls and messages, some IMs running, little surfing and gaming and - following Noejn suggestion - no task manager). As it's just the 2nd day with this ROM I keep an eye on it and report again in some days. :-)
[LG Optimus Black] MMoes:
Hello,

I've installed Nova coming from 10B and 1&1 Branding. Works great without any problems.

I use ADW.Launcher instead and is really great for customazation.

I alseo replaced FileManager with Root Explorer which works much better for me.

Nice Work and thanks a lot for this great ROM!

MMOe
[LG Optimus Black] MMoes:
How do you make these changes?
[LG Optimus Black] Aves83:
See the link in the 2nd post in this thread (the list of features, by Noejn). This will lead to you to the following explanation how to overclock/undervolt you OB: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16037541
[LG Optimus Black] spyb0y:
no problem with sdcard here.... I power off the phone and then power it on, the card mounts corectly everytime....
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Just reboot.

(and delete the auto files if you set it on boot)

I envy you, mine only goes up to 1.2 Ghz.

Overclock isn't dangerous as short-term. Android devices have many safeguards so as soon as your phone is incurring damage, it will shutdown or crash or freeze or kernel panic or whatever. It is harmful at long-term though. If you're thinking on keeping your Optimus Black for 2 years + then maybe you're better off not doing it.

File expert it is then.

There's no problem to include it in the ROM if it's a free application. Only if it is paid I can't.

For the battery life, make sure to use SavagedZen or MinMax governor.

Mine with moderate use (oc+uv), 3G always on, some GPS, is going for 28 hours.

I'll be back tonight for a bit. See ya.
[LG Optimus Black] CalamitySir:
Best Governor for SetCPU on LG P970?

Thanks Neojn, after flashing the new version, my phone felt so much better! But there are some questions regarding the governors... i used the Minmax now as i think that's the best currently for my device but is that the best? what about the others? and i also realised that different governors gives u different quadrant scores,

Minmax - fluctuates around 1800-1970+

Performance - fluctuates around 1700-1900

Ondemand - quite the same like Performance

Smartass - fluctuates around 1800-1900

so which one do you think is the best for LGOB?:)
[LG Optimus Black] Aves83:
I try MinMax then - let's see what happens. ;-)

Interesting question. Does anyone maybe has a list on how all the govenors in Nova operate? You know, the differences in their behavior and such stuff?

For everyone else who also wants to change and has no idea how to do:

(1) go to terminal

* Start the terminal editor (shipped with Nova).

* You should now see some white text on a blue ground (if you did not change the colors).

(2) get root permission

* Type su and confirm with new line. Probably SuperUser will ask your for permission - chose "Permit".

* You should now have a # (instead the former $) as first sign in every new line, indicating that all operations are now performed as root.

(3) run nova configuration script

* Type nova and confirm with new line.

* You should see a startup text message that changes to a (textual) menu after some seconds.

(4) go to change govenor

* Type 2 and confirm with new line.

* The menu should now have been changed to a menu "Change Govenor" that offers a list of all govenors implemented.

(5) chose govenor

* Type the number of the govenor you want to use and confirm by new line.

* You should get a confirmation message. After a few seconds the main menu will be shown.

(6) exit the Nova configuration script

* Type 4 and confirm with new line

* The script ends and you see a new line with a # and the cursor again.

(7) restart

* Guess everyone knows how to do that. ;-)

When you get an error "Permission denied" on everything you enter to the terminal (e.g. after you confirmed the su) check that you used lower case for you command (e.g. su instead of SU or Su). For some input methods (e.g. SlideIT) you have to change back to another input method.
[LG Optimus Black] Huexxx:
Hi all!

- I'm trying right now with voltaje 50 and stock 1GHz... no problems at all. SavagedZEN Governor and simple I/O. Is MinMax better that SavagedZED? Does it saves the same battery ammount?

- Looking at a way to show the calendar events at lockscreen, I've been trying with Lockscreen Calendar. Its a beautiful app but I've encountered a issue with it... LG Lockscreen concats the different events (separated with \n) in a single line and uses sliding texts. This is not an issue... but if you activate the screen... you can see only the first event and half the second before the screen fades out. This doesn't occurs at all with other lockscreen apps... It's possible to edit LG Lockscreen? (I think this can be very difficult...) It's possible to use the default lockscreen with nova? Lg Lockscreen is beautiful, but stock froyo lockscreen allows to silence the phone too... is more useful IMHO.

Regards.
[LG Optimus Black] CalamitySir:
Widgets?

I think i will just stick to Minmax for now, seemed to have the best speed...

Anyway i think u shouldn't remove some of the widgets like messaging, calender and music...hope you would add into the next update...:):D
[LG Optimus Black] ajcantonio:
sir Noejn... can the smartshare feature be available on the next version? i'm still kinda having a problem with mine... already did the app inj of the apk+odex, rebooted the phone but i still get eror/force close message. i also went to the system then app folder clicked on the smartshare.apk but says that it cannot be installed. :(

thanks and more power!
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
Although I always expect keeping them at least for a year, lately I am changing every six months. However, this one I should keep it for a year or so, hope more. I will look for a stable power-battery balance and that's it. I don't like having it above its possibilities if not necessary (it was with a Wildfire, but not with a Black).

But I have a doubt. Is it better for battery 1ghz stock/undervolt, or let's say 1.2 overclocked undervolt, so it makes things faster and less time at full-speed?

- Rewrite Application Injector and incorporate it into Nova script

- 2 new features I won't say

- Some minor theme changes

Oh and by the way people, would you mind filling this up?
[LG Optimus Black] Kalemucu:
When Android 2.3 comes for our Optimus Black, could we overclock our OB's more than 1.2 stable Noejn ? A friend of mine overclocked his desire hd 2 ghz with no problem..
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Nope.

HTC Desire HD and Desire Z have the same chipset (only some differences on the Adreno 205 GPU and DHD is factory overclocked to 1 Ghz instead of 800 Mhz) and they have a great overclock potential.

However, on Optimus Black we have low overclock potential. Remember our CPU is factory overclocked to 1 Ghz unlike Motorola Defy who has it at 800 Mhz.

That being said, we'll never be able to overclock more than we can now.

[LG Optimus Black] Aves83:
Have you changed the govenor? If not, try to follow the instructions in post 699 in this thred (page 70). In step 5 chose MinMax or SavagedZen. MinMax works great for me. :-)

@Noejn: Would it be possible to set MinMax as default govenor in the next release of Nova? Otherwise everybody has to change on hin own as - I guess - noone wants to use the current default... ;-)
[LG Optimus Black] i04055:
I'm using minmax right now, battery live is good overall, except for using wifi....
[LG Optimus Black] exe127:
is this rom allows optimusBlack to run at 1GHz(default speed) at lower voltage? 0.5V?
[LG Optimus Black] Aves83:
For sure not at 0.5 V - no matter what speed... ;-)

If 0.5 V was a typo and you meant 5.0 V:

You can try to get 5.0 V at 675 MHz, but according to Noejn's spreadsheet linked in his post about overclocking (OC) and undervoltaging (UV) (also have a look there for an How-To for OC/UV with Nova) the "minimum" voltage for 1000 MHz = 1 GHz is 5.8 V, i.e. 0.4 V less than the stock voltage of 6.2 V.

If you meant "0.5 V lower than stock voltage":

According to the same spreadsheet as above you can try 5.7 V (6.2 V - 0.5 V = 5.7 V) for 850 MHz.

Anyway: try it - as far as I got it, a voltage that is too low does not damage you phone, it will "just" be unstable and maybe "freeze".
