v3 is mostly bug-free.

The only known issues are static ip address thingy (which is caused by the kernel but since only 2 guys seem to use it, maybe it's not worth to fix it as I'd have to disable either SFB or jHash 3 which in turn boost internet speed) and GPS (which can be fixed by changing values on GPS.conf).

For 1. try to increase voltage. For gaming you shouldn't use a very low voltage. I don't know of any app which can stress test "gaming conditions".

For 2. I don't know java so I can't code such an app. Hell, you are forgetting I'm not even a computer engineer!

For 3. well, we can play smooth 720p but it depends on the container. MKV is more hardcore indeed, did you try moboplayer? It might be possible with some more improvements on the kernel, we'll see.
[LG Optimus Black] runejpunk:
Since you said that, Then I'll try flashing to Nova 3. Hope don't have IP and GPS problem although really looking forward your new OC script. Just curious, when will you launch V4 and is there new "innovation?"

R-Q 2: So...how do you know about stock Voltage, even tabling every possible voltage? I don't really now that you're not computer engineer. But still, U can mod a Rom. What a gift u have. :cool:

Yes, I used Mobo Player. I hope it really possible to have improvement. Tq.
[LG Optimus Black] MauricioAedo:
Great!

I have some requests in order to help improve this excellent rom:

-More themes, personally W7 theme is very ugly and doesn't have circular battery %

-Power menu with reboot and recovery options

-Fix Alarm app

-Remove music widget from notification bar and made it optional in the script

Greetings
[LG Optimus Black] lesp4ul:
Try MX video player see if you get any improvement.
[LG Optimus Black] runejpunk:
I will then. Thx b4.
[LG Optimus Black] i04055:
noejn, is there any chance to fix SFB/jHash 3 to be able to use static ip? or i can't use static ip forever?
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Do you really need to use static ip?

1. and 2. are on framework so I won't touch it. If Antonio wants to do more themes and add a power menu, it's up to him.

And yeah, I'll add an option to easily choose between themes.

Alarm app can be fixed I guess.

I don't need to remove the music crap on the notification bar, you can do it yourself (open the app and disable it on the menu).
[LG Optimus Black] blaubaer78:
Could it be possible that in the overclocking script at point 2. "presets" the voltages i can choose are inverted?

For example i choose 5. (nova default frequences) and 2. (low voltage)...

Afterwards i go to "which one i have" and he shows me "number 5. preset with ultra low voltage" although i have choose low voltage.

The same if i set it on 3. (ultra low voltage) he shows me low voltage...
[LG Optimus Black] i04055:
yes, I use wifi at my office, and the bandwith was devided for each ip, so i can't get my full access, if i don't use ip address given for me...

I ask only if it is possible to fix, you're doing a great work for this ROM and don't want to give you any burden....
[LG Optimus Black] kokocf:
I suggest to use from the market the tokiko alarm clock free, I used from the very first nova until now without any problems.
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
Once Noejn has talked, you will have Gingerbread theme within 1 or 2 days max. I'm thinking about more themes but MIUI one is being made by a french user. I don't have more styles in mind and I'm not doing those green and red and blue ugly themes with ugly icons that some ROMs for other devices have (and I don't understand why they even exist :S). But if you have some nice ideas or other O.S. that I should get inspiration from, just say it. I hate circular battery, although I could make a theme with it, but you can easily add cicle battery with UOT kitchen in a few minutes.

About Power Menu, I don't know if I will be able to do it, but I will try hard.

For the music controls, you have the tutorial. As dxdiag32 said, once you recompiled the apk, get to the file you edited (statusbar_expanded.xml) and drag and drop it to the original apk (to the proper folder) and push/flash it. It will work without bricking your device.

:)
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Oh that's fixed already.

Well, thing is:

- 20% boost on internet pages loading (jHash 3)

- Static ip address working

I can only choose one of them...
[LG Optimus Black] i04055:
Oh well... leave it as it is than...

But i'm just curious, are other devices that use jHash 3 also have this problem? And why there are some devices that has ip static works correctly even using it like one lesp4ul's? Any advises?
[LG Optimus Black] denclaud:
hi sir first of all I would like to thank you for this wonderful rom. I'm just new here in OB forums so I can't read all these 1148 comments already in here. So can I just ask a favor if you can describe each governor included in this rom? I don't know if someone already asked this so please bare with me.

I also wanted to know if i can retrieve the stock? ( I forgot the name of the app but its the one that works like a file manager). thanks again I'm hoping that you can answer my queries.
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
It has'n been explained because you can easily Google each governor and you will get all the info you need ;)

I think that file manager is Solaris. You can backup it with Titanium Backup before flashing nova. If not, I can send it to you. But there are many better file managers in market...

:)

Enviado desde mi LG-P970 usando Tapatalk
[LG Optimus Black] yeomond:
Polaris, not Solaris.

I tried installing it from a previous backup that I made, but it wouldn't show up in the app drawer NO MATTER WHAT.

not even appinj, hmmmm
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Use App Inj (application injector) for installing stock app.

For the governors, on the next release I'll describe them. Many are improvements of existing ones. For example, smartass is an improvement of interactive. Interactive is an agressive ondemand. etc.
[LG Optimus Black] lvlouro:
Can you predict a release date? one week, two weeks, more?

No hurry, the thing is that my LG OB will predictably arrive this week and was just wondering if it's worth to flash v3.0/3.1 ou wait for v4.

Thanks
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
I say slowly because I'm very few short time in front of my computer.

It'll take some time. 1 week or so.

Blame my girlfriend and the beach.
[LG Optimus Black] lvlouro:
We have different notions of slow, one week is not that long, hell 2 weeks in not long either.

Glad to know this is you working "slowly" :), keep up the good work.

Thanks

P.S. Put the cream ;)
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Maybe sooner, today I will have the night free.

But there won't be that many changes from v3 to v4 really.

In fact, until gingerbread comes out, development will get slowish.

P.S. Skinny?
[LG Optimus Black] lvlouro:
Yep! :) nice guess

Been reading this thread for a while, since i'll be getting my cell this week (I hope) I decided to register here on xda.

Never flashed a phone before but am looking forward to it.
[LG Optimus Black] Reasec:
Hello, is czech language included? Thank you..
[LG Optimus Black] MauricioAedo:
The problem is when you want to uninstall the app, the notification bar widget appear again.

I use Music 3.0.1 and I don't need Music 2.2.2 but I can't uninstall for this reason.

Greetings

V10A

Hi Noejn,

Can I flash NOVA even if I have Firmware version V10A?
[LG Optimus Black] denclaud:
thanks for the reply. basically which governor best conserves battery without compromising the performance?
[LG Optimus Black] imam.krismanto:
Next V4

Noejn, i hope next version will concent to battery life time..., I think that is main issue on smartphone...!!
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Yes.

Use MinMax.

Don't use SetCPU profiles with these governors, they are well-coded and already have profiles built-in, no need for external "guidance".

Battery depends a lot on the person using it.

Mine lasts 24 hours with moderate-high usage.

A few guidelines are:

- Use auto-brightness for battery saving (it's enough for me)

- Use a governor with a suspend and screen-off built-in profile (my favourite: minmax)

- Only enable GPS/wifi/data/3G toggles when needed

- Don't use a task killer

- Avoid gaming

- Use UV

Do these and it will last you 24-48 hours.

In gingerbread battery life will get much better because of .35 kernel.
[LG Optimus Black] denclaud:
Thanks again for the answer. Another question is when I'm typing it is still vibrating even though haptic feedback in the settings is uncheck?
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Disable it on the keyboard settings.
[LG Optimus Black] denclaud:
sir in what settings? seriously I'm having a hard time looking for it? can you please guide me???
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Settings > Language & keyboard > HTC_IME mod > Text input > "vibrate when typing".
[LG Optimus Black] Victor Koo:
Can I use 3G Video call?
[LG Optimus Black] imam.krismanto:
Noejn, your rom is real amazing...

my phone score is 2031 with quadrant standard....!!

second test result is 2125.. wow...
[LG Optimus Black] lesp4ul:
ahh almost same method as mine for conserve battery life.... except UV. with 3G/download/browsing and casual game, the battery will lasts max 12 hours. if mostly idle up to 20 hours :)

@imam: also depend on your running apps & widget, check their behaviour :)
[LG Optimus Black] memeru:
hello

i used NOVA rom but the problem is GPS, im here in philippines

one more problem, after flashing to NOVA my internal memory is 1.00gb, is normal? when im in stock ROM my internal is 1.05gb

and i cant install stock application in Terminal>SU>NOva
[LG Optimus Black] legend54:
Please, yesterday i had a bug with this rom and i had to restore my phone with B2Cappsetup and since i have this error message on the lockscreen : "security error, no sim card inserted " even if my sim is in the phone and at the boot the phone asked me for my PIN CODE, can somebody say me how to do before send it to repair center ??

Sorry for my english but i'm french..
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Yes, I know about GPS, I'm trying to fix it.

Internal memory is fine. Nova's /data resources takes about 50 MB.

And why can't you install stock applications?
[LG Optimus Black] Aves83:
After some days of usage I also want to give a brief feedback for Nova 3.1@MinMax on OB:16.

First of all: it's just great! Battery lasts almost eternal (= up to two days in most cases... *g*), the new Nova script is really great and the system is stable and fast. But unfortunately I also found two bugs...

The first bug I found is a little bit weird and only occurred twice (so far):

After I had no service (both times because I went into a building - different ones - with thick walls, so the service just "disappeared" from one moment to the next) the phone was not able to get service again after leaving the building again. After waiting about 20 min with several tries to start a call and sending messages I re-booted the device - and had service immediately. I'm not absolutely sure about that, but I think in at least one case I was able to browse the internet (Google, etc.) as 3G/UMTS was working. It also seems like this bug does not always occur - maybe the phone has to be in a special communication state as the cyclic checkback or something? Anyone else had this problem?

The second one is just a small "optical bug":

When I use an application in landscape mode and go to the settings/message/whatever shutter (the one that appears when you slide your finger from the upper edge down - how do you name this?) I only see the ring tone, WiFi and bluetooth symbols, but neither the GPS nor the 3G/UMTS symbol.

Furthermore I also want to mention a few other things:

I would love to have a percentage battery symbol again and I don't really like the symbols in the shutter (the one mentioned above - still don't know how to name it) - but everything else in the new theming is great. I know: you can't make one solution that everyone likes - this is just my personal opinion to give you a user feedback.

Anyway, is there a way to make user-specific configuration (via a setting menu or something) just as editing the "buttons" at the home screen?

Somehow I can not get the Facebook app to make a (pushed) notification when I get a new message. I enabled the synchronization for the FB account in settings->accounts&sync but it still does not work. Is there a service in Nova missing I need to get it work? Is it the SNS service? (I know: it's in the Nova script, but I just don't want to install "any" senseless service and app - and for sure not the LG FB app...)

Noejn, you made a great job with Nova - thank you!

Antonio1475, you made a great job with the theming - thank you!
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Thank you for the feedback, organized and objective, good.

For the first bug, never happened to me but if a reboot fixes it, all is well.

The landscape and battery thingy are Antonio's domain, he's already aware of it.

As for facebook, afaik, there's no missing service. But installing SNS it's worth a shot.
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
Yeahh, guess what. I just fixed it! :D Landscape and portrait toggles working perfect, as well as music progress bar! Will upload themes ASAP (tonight).

Battery % for WP7 also coming in next update with the other bugs fixes.

:)
[LG Optimus Black] Sobralobo:
Great tengo ganas de ver el resultado ! :D
[LG Optimus Black] memeru:
thank you for the reply

yes i can't install application from NOVA script, it say no such file
[LG Optimus Black] Aves83:
Great! Looking forward to it. :-)

Okay, so I'll try somewhen within the next few days. I'll let you know the result.
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Well, you can't wipe data after flashing the ROM...
[LG Optimus Black] sochalewski:
I'm really grateful and appreciate your work. I would like to suggest new feature, which I think can be great and useful.

What about possibility to use G Button as rotate lock or ringer/silent switch (like in iPhone)? Camera button is nice, but these imo are more useful.

Of course the best will be let user to choose and make setting app for Nova.
[LG Optimus Black] WitchMX:
Finally installed it. So far, so great. I'm gonna be testing it and feedback if I find something worth sharing.

Regards and Thanks Noejn for the awesome work.
[LG Optimus Black] memeru:
thank you

i never wipe data after flashing sir
[LG Optimus Black] imam.krismanto:
Why, my network connection unstable.. some times lost connection, my provider is bad?

[LG Optimus Black] KrLx_roller:
Hi Noejn, I want the 'Notes' app, but I don't find it. I downloaded the pack of stock apps but I don't know what to install, can you help me? Thank you for your hard working!
[LG Optimus Black] Aves83:
Try AK Notepad by CATCH.COM. You'll find it in the Market. It's free.

I was also looking for Notes and as I was not able to find it I tried this app - and so far I like it. Give it a try. ;-)
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
I hope you have seen that you can now flash v7 of both themes (Gingerbread and WP7). Just go to themes section.

:)
[LG Optimus Black] pabgar:
Negative. It works on any laucher.
[LG Optimus Black] c_igor:
I think I have the same problem with ver 3. 1. Gprs sometime backoff from network and only reboot or switch to the fly mode and back can connect to. I try minmax with ultra UV for 1. 2 G mode. And second It seems to worth sensitivity radio and WiFi in last version. Now I return to the ver 1. 7. 31, and waiting for the new greatest job!
[LG Optimus Black] mgregor:
I don't know is that bug or feature but when I turn of vibrations complete phone still vibrating when I get sms ...
[LG Optimus Black] lesp4ul:
Did you disabled the vibrate too in sms setting?
[LG Optimus Black] lvlouro:
Regarding signal loss:

My girlfriend has a lg ob with stock rom and she has experienced signal loss.

The thing is she said the phone continues to receive data and it is possible to access the web, however calls can't be made or received.

She said it only happens when data connection is enabled.

I don't know if your problems are similar, I believe they are and as you can see it happens on stock rom as well.
[LG Optimus Black] badanas:
It happened with me one time.

I lost everything, push email, web connection, calls, sms..

After reboot all ok again
[LG Optimus Black] mgregor:
I was have same problem on stock ROM. To restore data transfer I need to restart phone or enable and disable plane mode or choose register at cellular network. There was no problem on stock v10b and nova.
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
I'm pissed, Real Madrid lost the Spanish "Supertaça" to Barcelona even though they deserved to win.

So, no v4 for you guys.
[LG Optimus Black] rgabi88:
Can I flash only the modified kernel over the stock one?
[LG Optimus Black] SeffQin:
Thanks from PRC.
[LG Optimus Black] i04055:
Yes, i already flash a firmware and working.. I reflash Nova with CWM v.3.2 (before i am using v.3.0) and succeed, i am not sure what made it failed at the firs try.. Thx..
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Custom kernel wireless fixed.

I'll upload later.
[LG Optimus Black] Arleckin_MSK:
I have one in Clockworkmod not create Backup?

or is this a common problem ROM Nova?
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Recovery doesn't have anything to do with the ROM.
[LG Optimus Black] Arleckin_MSK:
on your ROM, when you create a Backup error can't mount system!
[LG Optimus Black] Sobralobo:
@Noejn Works very good ! (I didn‘t reply before because of Vodafone‘s apn lol)
[LG Optimus Black] ramrod:
@ Noejn:

thanks for your great work. I had no problems with installation.
[LG Optimus Black] Sobralobo:
I don‘t know if it‘s on my mind but seems faster with new kernel. :) And never seen so fast reboot lol.

EDIT : not my mind, really faster. Es incrível !
[LG Optimus Black] oscargb13:
Hi everybody i´m a new user in this forum from spain

[LG Optimus Black] fortunat0:
How can I install framework-res.apk?
[LG Optimus Black] rimatox:
Ohh, nice... I'll try this ROM then :D
[LG Optimus Black] Gazaka:
Testing the experimental version and with quadrant getting 1576 from freshly installed. I really should have checked the score before updating, but seems bit more perky :)
[LG Optimus Black] kingvui78:
Noob question here, if after I flashed the experinental kernel, in case I want to flash back the original stock kernel, what should I do? Thanks in advance.
[LG Optimus Black] spyb0y:
make a backup before you flash...
[LG Optimus Black] kingvui78:
Thanks spyboy, found my answer from google, anyway thanks for your reply, coz I'm new user of android
[LG Optimus Black] ramrod:
With stock rom, 1300. Nova_1 experimental kernel 1600. Quadrant points
[LG Optimus Black] somboons:
Noejn,

Can you port android 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 to op black?
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
Hahahaha really? LOL Each fan says his team deserved to win, so it's always completely useless arguing about it. :rolleyes:

PS: Working on WP7 Dialer app. Tried to make Power Menu, but it's impossible. Framework-res.apk won't boot after recompiled, even just decompile-recompile.

:)
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Tomorrow I'll release it.
[LG Optimus Black] lesp4ul:
Lolz... =))
[LG Optimus Black] fatcobrah:
I have 2 questions:

Does nova support arabic keypad?

When gingerbread release can we easly update it ?

Thx
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
1. I don't know

2. When gingerbread is released I'll base Nova on it so yeah, it's an easy upgrade
[LG Optimus Black] ghost_pilot:
I have a strange problem ... in videocam mode, a few blue spots appears on the screen (as dead pixels) especially in dark images but in photo mode this does not happen. I think that isn t the screen because only appears in videos... what could it be?
[LG Optimus Black] runejpunk:
Antonio, Can u make 2G/3G fast switch @ Notification menu? I kinda bit lazy to access setting bla bla bla :cool:
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
No I cannot. I don't have the knowledge to do that. My guess is that it involves very internal files or even the source.

But you can do this:

1. Drop down statusbar

2. Long press to data icon. It will open Mobile Network settings.

3. Check or uncheck "Only use 2g networks". [You can also select Only 3g in Network mode so when you press Only use 2g networks, it switches to 2G fast]

Fast and easy, isnt it?

:)
[LG Optimus Black] runejpunk:
I choose "Long press Data Icon". Just know that. Thx Man.
[LG Optimus Black] i04055:
wow... nice info antonio... ;)
[LG Optimus Black] lesp4ul:
Inverted NOVA BootScreen, white on black :)

- rename the file to "bootanimation.zip"

- replace bootanimation.zip in system/media, use root explorer to do it.

- set permission to RW-R-R

- reboot :)
[LG Optimus Black] Huexxx:
I like more the original one... but maybe the original is too light and battery hungry... I've put the inverted one and I'm happy with it, thanks!
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
I started doing it yesterday. It was easy but I stoped because I was working on the themes. So nice job :)

By the way, although the stock one is in system/media, I place them to data/local

:)
[LG Optimus Black] lesp4ul:
humm, i didn't know that also can be placed in data/local ahha... thnx man!
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
I'm finishing up and I'll upload it soon.

Testing last version.

Do I need to wipe before install v4? I have v3.1
[LG Optimus Black] garzacorporations:
I'm going to try this ROM.
[LG Optimus Black] Sobralobo:
Once again : thanks Noejn for your work and thanks Antonio for theming. ;)
[LG Optimus Black] manieq14:
And thank you from me for your work, but one more question:

What about gps-fix? On my Nova 3.1 gps doesn't work properly, sometimes it find 1 sattelite, almost always - 0. Is it fixed?
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Think so.

I changed the supl for A-GSP and some users report by restoring original libsqlite.so GPS gets better so you have this option in "misc" @ Nova Script.
[LG Optimus Black] WitchMX:
I'm so happy with this rom. Great work Noejn. BTW, during the installation of 3.1 just after flashing it when booting for the first time it got stuck in the bootanimation. I had used just v3 for a couple days and even the first reboot was super quick, but with 3.1 the first boot took over 20 min....I don't know if this is normal but I took the battery out and the back in and it's working just fine, no force closes whatsoever...

Can't wait for v4. Do we have to wipe data to install it?

cheers
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Uploaded.

There's a no-wipe version but I recommend to use the wipe one, avoids conflicts.

If there's any bug report on no-wipe version, I'll tell you to try wipe version first.
[LG Optimus Black] kingvui78:
Thanks Bro, NOVA v3 for me is very satisfy already, but if got new version definitely I will flash and try!
[LG Optimus Black] garzacorporations:
The 2º reboot is just shutdown & turn on again?
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
What?

There's a mini-reboot in the first boot.

Ignore it, it's Nova removing journalism from ext4.
