Eureka! (I hope...)

I've understood how to correctly set the voltajes!

Lets supose that we set a certain user defined freqs and voltajes with nova script.

This is the aspect of mpu_opps after that:

mpu_opps[4] rate=1000000000 opp_id=4 vsel=60 sr_adjust_vsel=60
mpu_opps[3] rate=700000000 opp_id=3 vsel=56 sr_adjust_vsel=56
mpu_opps[2] rate=500000000 opp_id=2 vsel=46 sr_adjust_vsel=46
mpu_opps[1] rate=300000000 opp_id=1 vsel=31 sr_adjust_vsel=31

... and the corresponding aspect of sr_adjust_vsel:

oppid:	[nominal v]	[dynamic Vnom]	[calib v]	[calib step v]
mpu 1:	0x1f	0x1d	0x1f	0x19
mpu 2:	0x2e	0x27	0x2e	0x23
mpu 3:	0x38	0x30	0x38	0x2c
mpu 4:	0x3c	0x3b	0x3c	0x37
l3 1:	0x1e	0x18	0x18	0x18
l3 2:	0x2d	0x1d	0x1d	0x1d

As we can see, both vsels at mpu_opps, and both nominal and calib voltajes at sr_adjust_vsel shows the same value... something goes wrong because at normal circumstances calib v should ve lower than nominal v.

Then, here comes the secret spice. In order to calculate the calibrated voltajes, we have to run this at terminal:

echo 0 > /sys/power/sr_adjust_vsel

Then magically the values change!

Let's see mpu_opps:

mpu_opps[4] rate=1000000000 opp_id=4 vsel=60 sr_adjust_vsel=50
mpu_opps[3] rate=700000000 opp_id=3 vsel=56 sr_adjust_vsel=41
mpu_opps[2] rate=500000000 opp_id=2 vsel=46 sr_adjust_vsel=32
mpu_opps[1] rate=300000000 opp_id=1 vsel=31 sr_adjust_vsel=22

... and sr_adjust_vsel:

oppid:	[nominal v]	[dynamic Vnom]	[calib v]	[calib step v]
mpu 1:	0x1f	0x1d	0x16	0x19
mpu 2:	0x2e	0x27	0x20	0x23
mpu 3:	0x38	0x30	0x29	0x2c
mpu 4:	0x3c	0x3b	0x32	0x37
l3 1:	0x1e	0x18	0x18	0x18
l3 2:	0x2d	0x2d	0x2d	0x2d

Now, all have better aspect, haven't it?

I've modified nova script in order to introduce the freq. values in MHz (let it stay please!!!) and to calibrate voltajes after set a user defined values. Take it from here.

I've confirmed that, setting the values for autoboot, when do a reboot the voltajes are uncalibrated again, so it's necessary to run "echo 0 > /sys/power/sr_adjust_vsel" at startup, and I don't know how to do it.

Also, you must calibrate the voltajes at nova script after the two remaining methods (simple oc and presets). Maybe with simple OC you should set the values at mpu_opps too and calibrate.

And, the most important thing, we have to probe if it really works...

Regards!
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Awesome job, I think you've just might fixed the UV.

echo 0 > /sys/power/sr_adjust_vsel

This was the missing piece, the way to recalibrate smartreflex class 1.5.

Overclock module doesn't do it, it had to be manually but I didn't know it could be done with a command.

[LG Optimus Black] murrun:
damn! i'm stuck at opening sequence while messing with sytem/app.

now i'm going to recovery. is wipe requered or can i flash nova directly?

edit: wrong alarm.you can answer my question in case of emergency situations.
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
hm you can try without, but... well, try you have nothing to lose

:)
[LG Optimus Black] PaulBort:
From the 4th times still managed to firmware on 5-th Nova (5.8), to have no problems with superuser, root, overcklocking (could not write to the directory values). Until, like, okay, but we'll see...
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
UV seems to be working now.

Be advised this is not the party it used to be before of CRAZY LOW voltages or even lower.

My Black for example is dying with crazy low voltages preset.

I'm working on the theme chooser, I'll release later v6.
[LG Optimus Black] murrun:
i tried to install android 2.1 keyboard but didn't success.

knzo, do you know which stock rom files, packages, etc requiered for enabling this?
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
Can you make it "safe" or recommended setting?

by the way, the wifi indicator still error in v5.8 (doesnt show signal, but it's connected) and we'll waiting your Nova v6 :)
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
No idea.

Yes, I made it safer.

I'm still testing the theme chooser.
[LG Optimus Black] PaulBort:
Wi-Fi icon shows no signal at ALL!
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
For the last time: I know about it, it's in the known issues and I won't fix it because it's caused by a tweak.

Releasing v6... careful with voltages now.
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Changelog

v6 [27/08/2011]

Removed zeam launcher (was consuming too much battery) and added again AOSP 2.3 launcher

Fixed powermenu when changing back to stock LG theme

Fixed some Nova script issues (LG notes, ...)

Updated overclock module (compiled with smartreflex flag)

Setting custom voltages fixed (big thanks to Huexxx)

- should decrease battery consumption

- default UV @ low voltage preset

- careful with this playing with voltages, if phone is slowish, it's because they are set too low

Updated theme chooser in Nova Script (now checks for theme's latest version and if needed updates it!)

Fixed many small things
[LG Optimus Black] zogoibi:
I second this. I also travel a lot, and I have around 6 different SIM cards, so it's useful to have the carrier name at a quick look.
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
can you explain about "careful with this playing with voltages, if phone is slowish, it's because they are set too low", you said earlier that it's safe configuration.

Thanks.
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
It's safe by default but you should be careful when messing with uv.
[LG Optimus Black] PaulBort:
After the firmware v.6 phone hangs all the time!!!
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
Well actually I don't understand about overclocking or undervolting :p

I prefer do the safest way, so it's better to use the "safe" config, and no more tweaking/touch that setting... :)

Thanks.

What? it's bad news. I just downloaded, but not update yet...

Waiting another comment about v6...
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
Is it just me or you seem to have a malfunctioning phone that gives you trouble always?

:)
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
You were unlucky.

I had the link up 1 minute and then removed it because I forgot something. Still, no reason for a bootloop. Worked for me and Antonio. ;)

Your Optimus Black never works...
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
antonio, do you already update the v6? please give us information about it...

I've downloaded it earlier, but not trying it yet.. waiting for your update news...
[LG Optimus Black] NunoMCB:
I don't care about the signal in the icon if I get this internet speed. I've been using a lot all this day and i think it's very stable, and that is very very important. I'm glad you guys are kind enough to share your great work with us. I do like this launcher and i'm glad you decided to change. The only thing i liked better was the old lockscreen, but this is just my opinion, and if you ever decide to change it's ok, if not, well... I think I can handle it :)

Again... Thank you antonio and thank you kzno... I'm very happy you guys decided to "mess" with this phone :)
[LG Optimus Black] Reasec:
Please make a v6 wipe version..
[LG Optimus Black] digit1667:
LOL, was one of it related to the launchers? Coz I just flashed v6, and everything's fine and dandy, 'cept zeam launcher is still there, as opposed to what your changelog mentioned.

And Thanks XD
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
Zeam Launcher removed in v5.8, do you update from v5 to v6 (without v5.8)?
[LG Optimus Black] digit1667:
Yeap, went from v5 straight to v6. Didn't see the 5.8 version, I think knzo removed it.

It's late where I am, I guess I'll be back tomorrow instead.
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Added "Boost standby battery tweak" in misc options @ Nova Script (experimental) - major undervolt on minimum frequency; best used along with a governor like minmax or interactiveX.

Uploading v6.
[LG Optimus Black] lvlouro:
well, my problems were due to titanium although I don't know where I messed up.

This last install I downloaded every thing from market, and all is fine.

v6 is non wipe right? I spent to much time installing all to remove again...

Hope this UV thing gets us considerable more battery life.
[LG Optimus Black] Reasec:
I hope that there will be also a wipe version, because im not a fan of patching things up. :/
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
The default UV is slight but it should help a bit on the battery.

But if this tweak works fine, it should help a lot, especially during screen-off and if you use minmax or interactivex.

I decreased the voltage in 22 units for the lowest frequency so...

I tested it a bit and seems to be fine. No problems receiving calls when phone is asleep, etc.

v6 will only be no-wipe. It's fast to update... just flash v5, reboot 3 times, flash v6.
[LG Optimus Black] PaulBort:
It seems it is all right, but had to re-firmware 5.0, and then immediately at 6.0(before that shoots 6.0 5.8)
[LG Optimus Black] Reasec:
Maybe its time to implement x.x.x versioning :), you catching up with google chrome. :P
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
Hahahaha that's a good one! But for most people, I think that big numbers is clearer than v5.1.3.4, better v5, v5.x, then v6 if it's important enough.

However, versioning is not my call at all, it's knzo's.

.)
[LG Optimus Black] Reasec:
:) BTW antonio i would love o see your lock screen theme with Carrier name too. No simcard BS icon, just lil vodafone somewhere..
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
I agree. I'm preparing themes next version. It will have the carrier name small and nice at the left, just like the clock :P
[LG Optimus Black] Reasec:
Cool, Im looking forward to it. +1
[LG Optimus Black] lvlouro:
regarding speed and if we are all just experiencing a "collective hallucination" I was just looking at my girlfriend's phone and hell that is sh*tt* slow.

As of now I have more apps than here and that thing drags...

I don't know if it has been posted here but quadrant score with stock is 1200+

Nova FTW
[LG Optimus Black] Reasec:
Knzo change link for 6.1 to uploading again.. something went wrong?

My gf also have OB (with stock fungly LG ROM) and she was on fire when she saw new Nova.
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Yes, don't flash it :x. I need to upload a wiping version.

v6.1 update can't be flashed after v5. Only after v5.8+.
[LG Optimus Black] PaulBort:
6.1 after 6.0 or I need again return to 5.0 with repair all settings?????!!!!
[LG Optimus Black] Reasec:
:D awesome :D
[LG Optimus Black] ruibullseye:
i dont have anything flashed so i'm good to flash 6.1 right :P ?
[LG Optimus Black] Reasec:
It looks like... only wipe version? :)
[LG Optimus Black] Yusei:
i have 5.8, can i flash v6.1 when it's released?
[LG Optimus Black] Reasec:
filename suggest that you will have to install 6.1 wipe version... no update.
[LG Optimus Black] Yusei:
ok

i will wait for the v6.1 to test tomorrow
[LG Optimus Black] Reasec:
Any news or ETA? Bed time?
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Go to bed, it'll take a while.
[LG Optimus Black] Reasec:
Okay.. Thanks. ;)
[LG Optimus Black] ruibullseye:
cant right now knzo xD.

already rooted with gingerbreak

already installed anReboot

already run the CWM intaller.bat

already used skill ADRENALINE RUSH :D
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
I need a beta-tester who's willing to wipe his phone and test v6.1.

Volunteers?
[LG Optimus Black] ruibullseye:
btw sou tuga :P

i never used NOVA, im virgin :D

what u mean by wipe all data
[LG Optimus Black] ivaaN:
Me, i had just flashed v5 and a i havent got any data in the phone
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
It won't be needed after all, but thanks :)
[LG Optimus Black] zogoibi:
Thanks. I already found out. :)

Yes, somehow I mixed both things. Now I know better. So, what I wanted to say is: I liked better the previous lockscreen, AND the previous launcher.

This lockscreen I like less tha the one in Nova 4, whose clock was "centered", and in general was cooler:

Also, this launcher:

I find not so nice. The icons at the bottom is what I find "tacky". ;)

I find this one way superior:

And I also find this scroller much nicer than the Nova 5 one:

Anyhow, I haven't yet flashed any of the new versions, 5.8, 6, or 6.1. So I'll try and tell you.

Anyhow, as I know now how to install the "nice" launcher, I'll use it, whatever the case.

(Sorry, don't know how to make the attachments look bigger, but I think you get my point.)

And thank you again guys. You're doing a great work!
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
From nova v5.8 or so I think, the launcher is the stock one from before that you like it more.

For lockscreen, well, you can flash the previous theme version (go to themes threads for that) if you prefer the old lockscreen over all the other changes ;). But no Power Menu. Your choice here until I decide what to do with lockscreen. (Almost sure it will stay since it's WP7 lockscreen, as it's WP7 theme). But maybe I give an option to get stock lockscreen. Don't know because if so, I could also do a slightly different theme for each little change to make you all happy.

:)
[LG Optimus Black] PaulBort:
6.1 wipe!!!! It's last????!!!!!
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
v6.1 released.

By the way, join the party.
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
I think so.
[LG Optimus Black] lvlouro:
So no no-wipe version?

Thanks
[LG Optimus Black] mertzi:
Downloading 6.1 wipe, is it good to go?
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Yeah it is.

The reason it's delayed it's because Antonio (the official beta-tester) was having problems (slow UI) and I thought it was because of his device not supporting low voltage preset. However, everything's good now, seems it was a bad flash.

Sorry, no non-wipe version.
[LG Optimus Black] Yusei:
it happens to me with v5, reflash and everything is ok

flashing v6.1 now
[LG Optimus Black] zogoibi:
Huexxx, I'm trying to get rid of the confirmation dialog for power off. It really bothers me. Can you give me a hint about how and where to do it? (I mean, if won't take you more than a few minutes' explanation). Otherwise, no problem: I can always use widgetsoid.

Thx!
[LG Optimus Black] PaulBort:
Do any file manager among the programs to their default values!!!!
[LG Optimus Black] zogoibi:
Great!!

Hmm... Dunno.. Power Menu with reboot and recovery is quite useful...

Oh, you devs are all making me happy already! :) Enjoying my OB as never before!
[LG Optimus Black] Yusei:
problems with wi-fi, i have to flash it 2 times to work wi-fi

now it's ok

I'm using NOVA from first to latest version, for my own opinion and what I feel, V3.1 (which before v5.8 is out) and V5.8 is best for me, just flashed v5.8 then v6.1 is out but p.s. with v7 is coming very soon that stated by bro knzo, so I decide to wait for v7, because I'm very satisfy with performance, screen response, battery life of v5.8

Anyway thanks for all of you who put the effort to make this ROM!
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Yes, I probably will release v7 tomorrow.

It will have an awesome feature. Not for you guys, but for me. You'll understand what I mean soon.
[LG Optimus Black] kingvui78:
All right Bro knzo, take your time and have a good rest first, I think I'll understand what you mean while v7 is release and when I try it out :)
[LG Optimus Black] yeomond:
bug/problem found:

im unable to change to LG stock theme. rebooted and tried many times, but it although in terminal it says its gonna install and reboot, the WP theme still remains
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Just did it here and works flawlessly.

It took about 5 minutes to download the theme, then reboot and it was installed.

Bug not verified (v6.1). Reverted now to WP7, also flawlessly.
[LG Optimus Black] winzero:

hmm ive flashed again but im still unable to change the theme. maybe ive downloaded a bad/corrupted copy will try redownloading again
[LG Optimus Black] yeomond:
okay finally managed to change the theme, i think the problem was while downloading my wifi got disconnected or something.

and it took, i think more than 20mins for the download (definitely more than just 15mins) where ever the file is being hosted its a slow server, it cant be my wifi since my internet speed is 50mbps (optical fibre)

I just flashed v6.1 from v5.8 to get the UV featurr again. Will be on trip and likely wait till v7.x to upgrade again.
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
yeah following users feedbacks, downgrading is not recommended. I don't know if they flashed in a wrong way, but preventing is the priority.

I'm gonna flash to nova 6 and will do some tests.

I'm already on nova 5 since yesterday and got some errors.

> ES File explorer crashes sometimes

also, in my opinion, clock.apk should be preserved

[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
7 hours on standby, 2% battery consumed with GSM 3G on.

Nova v6.1, InteractiveX governor, Battery standby tweak on.

Juice plotter shows if this kept on, it'd make the phone last 277 hours.

This means, Nova v6, on 3G, standby was doing 0.28% the hour.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13427114/2011-08-28 12.08.29.png

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13427114/2011-08-28 12.08.52.png

Standby battery consumption on Nova v5, on 2G, was around 0.6% the hour.

Explanation

: Since in Nova v6 the UV is working (thanks to Huexxx research), I included a tweak that can be found in Misc Options in Nova Script: Boost standby battery tweak. What this does is to heavily undervolt only the min frequency. While still experimental, I'm not getting any issues (for example: not being able to wake phone after sleeping it; not receiving calls; etc). Also, it's important to have a governor that forces your phone to min frequency when screen is off, such as InteractiveX or MinMax.
[LG Optimus Black] Huexxx:
Hi all!

Glad to see that UV now runs fine.

I have some questions and some suggestions too.

- Until today, everybody has played with freqs allways at stock voltaje because OV/UV didn't run. This opens a universe of possibilities (UV for battery-saving reasons, OV to archieve higher max freq), and a parallel universe of problems too (every cpu is unique, what runs well for you doesn't run for me, burned cpus, etc). I would recommend you to get Nova with stock speeds (or maybe max 1.1 like now) and stock voltajes (or maybe a little bit UV, but only a little bit) in order to have a rock solid stable ROM for everyone. I personally will play with all the suff, but there are people that doesn't like that.

- Have you get rid of autoboot reflex calibration? (maybe through init.d or who knows...)

- It would be a good idea to create a OC-UC/OV-UV manual for everyone. I'm out of time I think but maybe I would be able to do it. I want to test it troughly if I can.

- Regarding to "Battery standby tweak", I'm afraid that this feature is intended to use it with "normal" presets, isn't it? Confirm me that I can archieve the same effect using user defined values and manually setting a ultralow voltaje at lower freq... Does battery strandby tweak set a certain value... or decreases the already assigned min value?

IMHO, maybe you will need more beta-testers, from different zones, with different hardwares, and maybe place the "nightly" tests out of general stable Nova thread... think on it. I'll be prepared to test, but I have few time...

Regards!
[LG Optimus Black] yeomond:
oic. hmm hopefully it'll be fixed, some users may think the script froze since its taking so long haha
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
It is 1.1 Ghz like it has always been with low voltage (stock - 2 units).

It's stable for everyone.

Yes.

I was thinking on giving a major reflush on this thread but only on gingerbread.

It's intended to use with any type of overclock or not, works on stock. It's separate than the rest. When active, it will set a certain value (20) and override any existing setting for that min frequency so if you want a user-defined preset, don't enable this tweak.

After this wave of updates, development will go very slow until 2.3.

I'm trying to wrap this up in v7.

I can put a download progress bar on the next update.
[LG Optimus Black] Huexxx:
Another stupid thing...

...maybe the definitive imprevement to you rom would be and preinstalled android app to get rid of all the features of nova script.

I'm a noob on android and I still don't know hoy to develop apps.

You need an app developer in order to create the nova GUI!

Is there a way to remove old launcher after installing zeam?
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
Titanium Backup or Root Explorer and remove Launcher.apk from system/app Not sure if it's Launcher.apk

:)
[LG Optimus Black] Reasec:
Thank you.
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
The faulty signal icon happens due to the main script of tweaks.

In order to fix it, Nova would be slower.

So, I won't fix it.

On terminal:

- su

- srw

- rm /system/app/Launcher2.apk

- reboot
