[LG Optimus Black] rgabi88:
Ok, no problem, I will add it myself to archive before flashing. Nova's is ok, too, but I hate battery's circle gauge.

In my opinion, battery must be a battery! :) Maybe I'm old fashion, but...

Looking forward for new and improved release.
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
I'm not trying to advertise me, but if you don't like the NOVA stock look, you can flash my Gingerbread theme (in Themes section), which I am updating right now (will update when I finish the full Gingerbread "environment")

:)
[LG Optimus Black] lesp4ul:
Noejn, did you fixed apps in sdcard not detected after rebooting?
[LG Optimus Black] lesp4ul:
Yeah flashing is easy. Did you finished the new theme mate?
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
I'm working on it right now. I think it's going to be easy and fast. In addition, I will rebuild it using the latest NOVA framework that Noejn expects to release tonight. ;)
[LG Optimus Black] lesp4ul:
Okay thank you very much antonio :)
[LG Optimus Black] i04055:
@noejn

Is nova has stagefreight and hwaccelerator enabled?
[LG Optimus Black] vmjoaquim:
Does dis mean those having 179:17 dont nid de update?
[LG Optimus Black] icsulescu:
There is going to be a new kernel and some other stuff read the change log a page back.

Regards,

Me
[LG Optimus Black] ramrod:
sometimes my wifi signal shows low, but I have excellent signal. I'm confused.

All other looks great.
[LG Optimus Black] znoc:
Me too but no problem because I have excellent wireless signal. :)
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Stagefright yes.

Hardware acceleration was enabled in Nova v0 but it consumes more battery and doesn't add performance.

Anyway, I'm back now.

I think battery has improved quite a bit with these new governors: 1% ~ 4 hours.

At least with me.
[LG Optimus Black] rgabi88:
Same here... And I think gsm signal does the same... Maybe because "179:16" ?
[LG Optimus Black] ramrod:
No, i have 179:17
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Oh by the way, the lag also happens in some 179:17 devices.

I hope with this update everything will be fine for everyone.
[LG Optimus Black] rgabi88:
No lag here, by the way.. I have 179:16 :(

Waiting for new release.... It will be tonight?
[LG Optimus Black] Sobralobo:
Waiting for the update. :D

Flashing from Pays-rom will not make troubles ? Like I told in previous post (idk if it was normal).
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
I'm flashing at the moment what I think it's the final version.

If everything is fine, I'll upload it.
[LG Optimus Black] sr.tortuga:
OK, I have bad screen response and I confirm that I'm 179:16 :(
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Flash 1.7.28 and tell me if it's good now.
[LG Optimus Black] Sobralobo:
Downloading right now. :)
[LG Optimus Black] Ipy219:
so if i were on nova core and i downloaded the "wipe" version i'm screwed?
[LG Optimus Black] fortunat0:
best response from toucscreen, and ROM is very fast ;)

Congratulations Noejn!
[LG Optimus Black] Sobralobo:
I was about to say that. :-) Oh funny, application's names are in english lol.
[LG Optimus Black] sr.tortuga:
Apparently works fine now :)

I have to go to sleep, more testing tomorrow

Thanks
[LG Optimus Black] fortunat0:
reboot, solve your problem 8D
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
So no more laggy touchscreen for some devices?

At ****ing last.
[LG Optimus Black] Sobralobo:
Oh just want to add that in informations it's written Nova v1. 7. 27. So "newbies", don't worry its normal. :-)
[LG Optimus Black] Sobralobo:
Oh ok thank you. :P

Yeah Noejn, you're the best. ; -)
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
I forgot to change the version. \:
[LG Optimus Black] Sobralobo:
It's alright. É uma coisita sem importancia o pé de tudo o que fizeste. Vai descansar. ;)

Sorry for others I was lazy to write in english.
[LG Optimus Black] shaz0r:
hey noejn, great work so far. i'm almost happy with your rom, but apps that i move to my sd card are gone on reboot and i don't know why ^^

do you or anyone else know whats wrong there?

thx
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Yes, I know why.

But it's tricky to fix it because it interferes with other things on nova.

Why are you moving apps to sdcard anyway? You have lots of internal memory.

I don't see it very necessary to fix this... but anyway, try this: go to settings > sdcard & storage > unmount sdcard... wait 10 seconds, > mount sdcard.

Does your apps appear now?
[LG Optimus Black] Sobralobo:
Hum I got a problem. My videos can't be read. : / And when I want to download videos it says that format is not supported. What's wrong ?
[LG Optimus Black] shaz0r:
it was not really me who moved the apps :-)

the apps were moved automatically to sd card if i install through market... -_-

thx for fast reply, i move them to phone then.

*edit*

videos are fine for me btw

the "unmount-mount" thing doesn't work. but i'm fine with it. your rom rocks xD
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Try MoboPlayer.

Same for me.

Well, shame @ unmount-mount thing. I was convinced it was going to work.
[LG Optimus Black] rimatox:
Thank you very much for this ROM :) but it has some flaws, as mentioned video playback doesn't work for me, but I use MoboPlayer for that... and when I install an app from the market, it says: "Package file is invalid." but it works if I try like 20 times. Both of these errors happened in xx.27 and xx.28 version.
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
I think I know the problem of the market issue.

It's connected to why some people have disappearing applications on reboot.

Let me explain, the way Nova is working now, there's no mounted /mnt/asec.

And by default, applications are installed either on sdcard or internal memory, not one of them, but two... 50/50; this is android's default option.

To fix this, I just need to force the applications to install in internal memory.

At least this is what I think the problem is. When you get that error it's because android is trying to install it on the sdcard when I don't let it.

If I'm right it's a simple fix and it can be included already in the next version.

For the playback crap, I have no idea what's wrong.

But I was meaning to take a look at the camera things so I'll also try to see what's happening with playback.

But if MoboPlayer works, it's not that big of a problem.
[LG Optimus Black] rimatox:
Thank you :D

No it isn't. :)
[LG Optimus Black] norocel:
WoW!!! All i can say i love your work! i can put you near cyanogen really! Nice clean work,fast and as it should be! I have the .16 version white and was super laggy,now it's just awesome! Not to mention the battery life is crazy now! had it since morning 8:00 up to now 3:00 morning and still have 50% with moderate use,simply amazing! I will donate on monday as promised...really really deserve it!!
[LG Optimus Black] mertzi:
Just flashed 1.7.28 wipe. no lag, appinj works and auto-oc works! A BIG big up to noejn!
[LG Optimus Black] lesp4ul:
try to reflash from beginning, wipe version... mobo player works fine for me :)
[LG Optimus Black] rgabi88:
flashed without wipping... result: LG securyty team.... brick...:(

recovered... maybe later I will flash with wipe.
[LG Optimus Black] kingvui78:
The ROM is working good and smooth
[LG Optimus Black] duffkid:
just updated from 10A to 10B, and installed the latest nova.

I just have to say, ****in awesome job!

Thankyou for your hard work
[LG Optimus Black] xzibc:
Hi Noejn, there is any reasons why the nova not support install applications on sd card? performace issue?
[LG Optimus Black] gatt088:
Very very good... in 28 version touch is more sensitive.. good work! ;)
[LG Optimus Black] Huexxx:
Are you talking about flash between two different versions of Nova, or from 10B?

If I install Nova 1.7.28, and make some configurations (google account, APNs, install few programs), can I install f.e. Nova 1.7.29 without wipes and preserve everithing... or is better to wipe all everytime?

Thanks!
[LG Optimus Black] shaz0r:
i flashed xx.28 direct over xx.27 without wipe (just cleared the cache) and had no problems...

so i guess it's the same with xx.29
[LG Optimus Black] nikpik:
I was putting off flashing Nova until LG releases 2.3 but I'm glad I did, the phone's a lot smoother now compared to 11b and lasts a bit longer than when I was on stock.

I'll definitely buy you a beer one of these days (still waiting for payments :/). Props to you Noejn
[LG Optimus Black] Huexxx:
Another question.

I supposed that app names are linked to the locale selected...

I have no problem with english but...

It's possible that the names automatically appear in spanish? (or another language, depends on locale selected)

Otherwise, how can I edit the names manually?

Thanks a lot, I'll give feedback...
[LG Optimus Black] henrichg:
Nova 1.7.28: When I reboot phone via AnReboot, or phone off and on, sd card not mounting. When I boot into recovery (via AnReboot or pressing hw. key) and press Reboot in CWM menu, sd card mounting. My card is 16GB class 10. What si wrong? :(
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Happen to a friend of mine and it was a bad download (corrupt copy).

Not due to the rom itself.

It's working for me.

It takes a bit to mount it, like 20 seconds after boot though.

But I can try to do something about that.
[LG Optimus Black] Huexxx:
Hi again...

After a reboot, the icons shows spanish names... forget my last message...

Another questions:

- I've installed few apps from market (apndroid, 3g watchdog, google maps, etc) and no problem with them... after a reboot the icons are still in the launcher, the apps run ok... no problem with internal/sd install (1.7.28).

- Strange behaviour with status bar wifi icon... sometimes appears to have no signal but connection runs ok. Any recommended app to control/supervise wifi signal?

In my case, /dev/block/vold/179:17

Great ROM, I'll donate some beers late this morning!
[LG Optimus Black] lesp4ul:
It might be the theme. I recently flashed gingerbread theme from antonio and wifi status bar issue seems to be fixed. Dunno... give it a try.
[LG Optimus Black] Huexxx:
Is a theme removable, or I have to backup and restore in order to remove it?

Thanks!
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
Absolutely removable. If you don't like it, just reflash the stock framework and you are done. I will upload the stock NOVA 1.7.28 (and updates) framework flashable to my theme post, so you can go back easy.

:)
[LG Optimus Black] Huexxx:
Estupendo - Fantastic...

I'll give a try then...
[LG Optimus Black] henrichg:
When I wiped data, sd card works. :)
[LG Optimus Black] sr.tortuga:
My SDcard appears not mounted and still not mounted even reboot or wipe data :(
[LG Optimus Black] henrichg:
I',m detected applicaton that is problematic: Widget Locker. Uninstallig it, solved my problem.
[LG Optimus Black] sr.tortuga:
I wipe data and cache

other devices do not detect it, seems to be totally dead :(
[LG Optimus Black] Umut:
Hi Noejn,

at first I must say well done! you have done a damn good job!

But one question: Will it be possible to update further updates of your rom without a wipe?
[LG Optimus Black] Swaddy:
Yes, read first...
[LG Optimus Black] blaubaer78:
Hi,

thank you for this very nice rom but i have one problem.

I use the "GO Launcher ex" and if i reboot the phone a lot of app icons who placed on the homescreens are confused or completely removed from the homescreen.

Also a settings backup with go launcher before reboot doesn't work.

Can you tell me something about that?

Only a problem with go launcher or a general problem?

Tanks a lot

blaubaer
[LG Optimus Black] somboons:
When I installed app on SDCARD and reboot the phone my app which I installed have a problem
[LG Optimus Black] rimatox:
Omg... huge problem! I rebooted my phone, now the SIM card doesn't work :s I've tryed with several SIM cards but none of them work, I've tryed to wipe cache and re flash Nova xx.28 but that didn't work either... So please, I beg you! help :(
[LG Optimus Black] Huexxx:
Hi all!

Definitely the wifi icon does not runs ok... At the same place at home, first only one mark, later 3 marks and now full signal. Monitoring signal power is the same always.

Regards.
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
+1 The wifi icon is crazy. And it's not a problem of the icons (png) being wrong.

:)
[LG Optimus Black] icsulescu:
Stupid question but.. have you check your sim with another phone to see if it is defective?

Regards

Me
[LG Optimus Black] radkor:
Dude, it's not SIM card's fault as he wrote: "I've tryed with several SIM cards but none of them work"...
[LG Optimus Black] rimatox:
Yes, I've done that too... I've installed stock ROM now so I'm starting to belive it's a hardware issue. :/ I don't know what to do.
[LG Optimus Black] lesp4ul:
For sdcard problem, Try this, remove your sdcard when the phone is on. Go to settings > sdcard& phone storage, unmount sdcard, remove it from phone then plug it. Phone will redetect your card also media scanner will run. After all completed you can use the card again. It worked for me.
[LG Optimus Black] vmjoaquim:
The Wifi bar seems like it needs some time to update accordingly :/
[LG Optimus Black] digit1667:
Can't seem to flash it. Keep telling me that it's unable to open the zip file. And I've downloaded it twice, and also wiped my data... help please?:confused:
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
When exactly says that is unable to open the zip? Could you give the exact error it throws?

:)
[LG Optimus Black] rimatox:
My SD card works fine, but my problem is that my phone doesn't connect to the SIM properly and keep saying "SIM not inserted" and from the lockscreen it says "SECURITY ERROR"
[LG Optimus Black] digit1667:
Um...

Finding update package...

opening update package...

E:Can't open /sdcard/nova-1.7.28-wipe.zip(bad)

Installation aborted.
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
Strange. Have you downloaded from Direct Multiupload, or another mirror?

:)
[LG Optimus Black] digit1667:
I can't download from Direct, downloaded from zShare and Megaupload
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
The only thing I can say is, a part from downloading from somewhere else (although Megaupload should work fine), download it again (or not) then rename the zip and paste it to sdcard, then try again.

It sounds stupid, but I fixed issues more than once this way...

:)
[LG Optimus Black] Calvaria:
I too had this message once. After redownloading the zip and saving it to sd (no subdir) it worked fine for me at the second try.
[LG Optimus Black] digit1667:
Renaming doesn't work, oh well seems like I have to download all over again X(
[LG Optimus Black] ajcantonio:
thank you, noejn, for spending time with the p970!

installed it on my phone... the one with wipe. it was my first time to do something like this. :)

everything seems fine, except for the wifi signal meter, it reads low sometimes even though i'm just beside the router. ain't a big problem, though.

just one question, can i still go back to the original (stock) battery, wifi, usb, etc icons? those things on top of the screen, i mean.

thanks!
[LG Optimus Black] digit1667:
Thanks antonio1475 and Calvaria...

Redownloaded the file, then I thought of checking the checksums of the diff files I had. Apparently all the downloads were alright, but when I transferred over to my phone some data got screwed somehow...

Anyway... Finally flashed :D

AND

noejn you're friggin awesome!:D
[LG Optimus Black] Yusei:
Working great here...

Wipe and flash
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
I'm very sorry to hear about this.

However, that sounds like a hardware issue, it's a bit unlikely it was software (rom/kernel) causing it since android system is quite layered and with many safeguards of the kind.

Try removing the battery and let the phone alone for half a day. Let it go cold. Then turn it on without SIM, flash a firmware, boot and insert SIM. See if it works.

If it doesn't, well, thankfully that kind of problem is covered by the warranty.

As for the microSD card and applications problems (disappearing, market doesn't let them) I already said I was going to try a fix soon. But I've found out that when market doesn't let you open an application ("can't find path blablabla"), if you exit and go to app drawer, it'll let you launch it.
[LG Optimus Black] XER0123:
I got wifi signal meter bug too, but it is not very important your rom is great thanks for hard work :)
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
The signal incongruence with icon sounds like theme issue.
[LG Optimus Black] sr.tortuga:
any suggestions?
[LG Optimus Black] rimatox:
Thanks for you help. :/ I've tryed about everything thing now, gonna turn in my phone, hope I'll get a new one.
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
If other devices doesn't detect it, the fault is in the microSD card.

I toast about 1 microSD card each month...
[LG Optimus Black] sr.tortuga:
was 15 days... :eek:

the sd of my hero endured 2 years of continuous ROM changes :(

Ok, thanks for your work and for the rapid answer (and sorry for my english)
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
mmmm.... you could flash Nova v1 framework-res.apk. If I'm not wrong, it had the stock look.

(I guess you have no idea of what I say because it's your first time. If you are interested in doing it, ask).

:)
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Well, I always buy the cheapest so ._.

2 GB Class 2 baby, hell yea.
[LG Optimus Black] sr.tortuga:
mine was 16 gb class 10 :(
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
By the way, here's a recovery with ext4 support - works on Nova:

(you won't see the progress bar while backing up but it works)

http://www.multiupload.com/QCY0CQ4GTP
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
Wow, flashing it right now! Thanks!!!
[LG Optimus Black] Huexxx:
Why to use it? A2SD or similar? Black is plenty of space...
[LG Optimus Black] Huexxx:
Forget it... thus handles ext4 partitions inside the phone, for flashing, backup, restore, etc...

Is ext4 much quicker that ext3?

Regards.
[LG Optimus Black] nunogil:
With journaling disabled yes, It gives an huge performance boost.
[LG Optimus Black] Sobralobo:
Can you explain please ? I'm lost about ext4.
[LG Optimus Black] Gazaka:
Impressive. Light to medium use, 90% > 63% 1 day 1 hour. In my books this is the best battery life I have gained so far!

Kudos to you good sir.
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Same here using SavagedZen governor.

I'm getting crazy battery life. 4 hours ~ 1% of moderate light-moderate use.

We can also push it further if we auto set the stock clock (1 Ghz) @ 60 volts (ultra-low undervolt). Theoretically.

Well yes because Ext4 has nice mount options which I took full advantage.

Besides, this is the only ROM I know with true Ext4 without journalism.
[LG Optimus Black] shaz0r:
just for interest

my OB runs @43 volts and 1,15ghz

it's very smooth and batterylife is beautiful =)

govenour is minmax and with setcpu it's underclocked @300mhz if screen is off
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
43 volts? what the hell, isn't that too low? Can you play games and such?

MinMax is a good governor, the best along with SavagedZen.

But you shouldn't use setcpu profiles with these governors, they already have profiles built-in. Trust me.
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
---- Sorry, nevermind, I've been so busy with my theme that I didn't remember I read the second or third post where you explain that.

:)
[LG Optimus Black] shaz0r:
games are all fine, no freezes, no stutter. looks alright imho ^^

i let u know if there will be problems.
[LG Optimus Black] CalamitySir:
Currently the best ROM for OB!

Thanks Neojn! I just flashed it into my OB, it turned out super fast and sleek, quadrant scores were good and apps were running very smooth! Hope you will update to 2.3 once the official port is out!:);)
[LG Optimus Black] i04055:
how to flash it? I can't flash it from CWM v3.2... always aborted....
[LG Optimus Black] sr742:
finally a decent rom.. that very fast with no noticeable minus at all..

thanks manuel for nova1728... much gratitude and gracious for you

:)
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Nonono, you have to flash it the same way you did for the previous recovery.
[LG Optimus Black] ajcantonio:
no sir the nova icons on top of the screen is already modified. i was wondering if i can revert to the stock lg icons on the top only...

darn it! i still can't post links.
[LG Optimus Black] val5:
After flashing to v1.7.28 from v.1.7.27

I still got the sdcard mounting problem whenever i reboot the phone, the sdcard won't appears, i check setting sdcard is mounting but have 0 total space & 0 available space,so i need to unmount then mount to make it appears again works normally

-武装 戦線-
[LG Optimus Black] i04055:
oh ic... I think it's flashable zip... sorry...
[LG Optimus Black] somboons:
I will waiting for fixing problem about app2sd for next NOVA version.

thank you
[LG Optimus Black] kingvui78:
I encouter a strange problem or is it bug? 2 -3 applications that I downloaded from market, example mp3 ringtone maker, simplified chinese plugin for multiling keyboard (all installed in internal memory) will disapperead after reboot.

The second thing is the chinese characters files name, when after I edited the file names in the phone with google pinyin, it's working fine and display the characters correctly, but after reboot the edited chinese files name become back to unreadeable again with alien's code.

I really love the performance of this ROM, so hopefully in the future realease such problems can be solve.
[LG Optimus Black] him329:
This rom/mod is very fast

but the battery life is not so good as the v11b

hope can fix the battery life to use much longer :p

sorry for my bad english :(
[LG Optimus Black] quyTam:
I have another problem with app.

For big apps downloaded from the market, I have sometimes :

"download error of 'app name', Available space on the phone is not enough".

Of course, I have enough space on sd and on internal memory.

After a reboot of the phone, it seems to works for a moment, but error come back after some time.
[LG Optimus Black] paperben:
hay!! am first, congratulation for your awesome job. Its nice that we can a CFW of the O Black install.

I have installed Nova correctly, i have tested Wifi, 3G, mail, sms, phone, music, etc... all get with no problems. But i have a problem to :-), the internal memory of my phone is 00.0o!!!

In the original stock, my internal memory was 1,02Giga. I lost all my internal memory and i have not installed more apps. Is tis a problem with the EXT4?

Sorry for my bad english..
[LG Optimus Black] quyTam:
It's because app "lgeVideoPlayer" is removed from the rom !

use AppInj to reinstall it.
[LG Optimus Black] r00bst3r:
Before flashing Nova ROM do a factory reset and the problem is solved
[LG Optimus Black] mbdesign:

[LG Optimus Black] paperben:
Ahhh, ok, thanks. I try install again with this solution and i give my answer.
[LG Optimus Black] Sobralobo:
How can I do that ?
[LG Optimus Black] paperben:
good good!! Excellent solution,

1. Do a factory reset and reboot in CWM recovery

2. Installing Nova v1.7.28

And voilà, all my internal memory is here!!:)
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
New version today. Major changes:

1. Fixed sdcard, market and applications (disappearing on reboot) problems (I hope!)

2. Fixed recorded videos playback on gallery

3. Re-enabled some build.prop tweaks

Detailed list later.

Oh and if I have time: Quasar v2.
[LG Optimus Black] quyTam:
read the readme in "sdcard\nova"
[LG Optimus Black] somboons:
:confused:Problem CWM4

When I restore img from CWM which I create backup with CWM3 my phone can't boot :confused:
[LG Optimus Black] r00bst3r:
Yes ots for Nova Rom you must install the other CWM to flash your old Backups
[LG Optimus Black] kingvui78:
Thanks, waiting for the new version
