i've installed the ROM and everything is working, is there anything vital I need to install now so that I can restore to a stock ROM if needs be?
[LG Optimus Black] ruibullseye:
cant find on nova script .

any app u advice ???
[LG Optimus Black] lvlouro:
The person who's more indicated to answer this is knzo as I might be saying inaccuracies.

However I think It's not something you can find on nova script nor a thing you'd use an app for, it's embedded in the system, the nova rom (or the kernel, I don't know) on preset intervals (6h if I recall correctly) will flush the memory. Probably if it flushes something important that might cause the issues. So if reboot solves the issue it means that the startup restores the needed services.

This is what I read from the comments but I'm really kinda guessing, you should really wait for knzo's reply
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Everything that needed to be said is here.

Problem: after phone restart it reset to default settings and show me a lot of FC (Gmail, GO Launcher EX and many more apps). I've entered to CWM, make a wipe and reflash Nova 8. After reflash - 2 reboots. After 2 reboots I can't connect to wireless. Another restart. Nothing changed. After another restart connected to wifi but after few min I get dc from wifi and can't connect anymore. Can't run market (no connection). Everything works fine since 1 sept (Nova 8 flash). Now I'm downloading V10E and back to stock.
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
That's not a ROM problem. You did something that ****ed that up.

Before flashing Nova again, you should've tried to fix permissions in CWM.
[LG Optimus Black] mgregor:
> You did something that ****ed that up.

I did a restart phone because keyboard wasn't work. After that phone worked fine but after some time show me FC android.phone app. After FC my contacts, sms messages and dialing log was gone. So I do another restart and that's all.
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Just to say that I was researching why the hell our CPU score is so low in quadrant when its true performance is much higher than ~1400 points. In fact, it should be the same of Galaxy S's and this can be seen in CF-Bench (a CPU benchmark much more complete and unbiased).

Now, I'm reaching the conclusion that it's 2.2 (froyo)'s fault. Galaxy S, Defy and Droid X have also crappy CPU score in quadrant in 2.2 (1200ish) and seems to be related to the Cortex-A8 in these chipsets not being the froyo's JIT compiler best friend. The lower linpack in comparison with Qualcomm's chipsets is explained by the lower FPU output but it seems it's not just linpack who isn't showing our CPU's true power.

Good news is, with 2.3 the CPU score seems to get boosted to its true value.

So, does anyone want to bet I can make the quadrant reach 4000 points in gingerbread?

Problems

Hmm it seems I have another problem with Nova. I didn't do anything to the main system since installed, not even doing UV or playing with nova script. But how can my phone freq has turn back to 1000Hz, 300 600 800 1000?

How can it happen?
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Did you wipe or deleted any file in /data or /system? Or flashed any of Huexxx's things?
[LG Optimus Black] mgregor:
Nope. Only restart because of keyboard and later fc.
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
I'm sorry, but this question is for who?

If for me, I didn't do anything but shutdown my phone because my battery just had 1%, and I didn't bring charger at office.. after home and full charging, i didn't mention my phone after all for a day because I'm not using frequently, just chat, few call and sms..

Nothing to do with nova script or else patch.

EDIT: hey, I doing reboot, and it back to normal again (300 500 800 1100). WTH is happening actually... :confused:
[LG Optimus Black] zogoibi:
About the unresponsive screen

Knzo:

Apparently, quite a bunch of people (including me sometimes) are experiencing the "unresponsive screen" issue. But don't panic!! I'm not going to ask you how to solve it! :) I know it already: reboot.

However, I hope you agree with me that rebooting the phone is not really an acceptable option. Imagine you're doing something more or less important or urgent on the phone and then the screen becomes unresponsive, which is very uncomfortable; and you don't want to reboot the handset, 'cause may lose too much time or perhaps some information... (Isn't that one of the reasons why Windows has become so in-famous? Constantly needing to reboot).

So, I'd ask you to please take this issue into account when you develop your next version of Nova for Gingerbread. It would be great to get rid of this annoying bug in a better way than rebooting the handset.

Thank you!
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Without a doubt this will be taken care of in gingerbread.

In fact, many things will be different in gingerbread. I just don't think it's an issue worth of a new froyo nova version.
[LG Optimus Black] lesp4ul:
Yes, please consider to fix this with your gingernova :))

The laggy and unresponsiv thing are annoying. This happens usually after a long idle.
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
Though it's not recommended, I think you need an automated app killer. An app when low memory (preset/configured) is reached, it will kill all running apps except the locked apps you choose like set cpu etc. I've read there are foreground apps etc.

A long shot remedy. Just my 2 cents.
[LG Optimus Black] murrun:
i think superuser or titanium backup is the cause of this issues. if this two are unresponsive, it's effecting whole system.

btw. nobody response to my question. probably i'm the only one with "reset" issue.

have anybody getting problems with reseting phone via long pressing power off button? mine is always stuck at black screen.
[LG Optimus Black] Huexxx:
I had a awesome LG-logo-stuck-at-boot trying to reboot to recovery through power menu... but flashed 10b and reinstalled Nova from scratch and now I don't have problems at all.
[LG Optimus Black] zogoibi:
Thanks everybody.

This morning I had a new issue: I had to reboot the handset in order to just send an SMS. (??)

Yes, I've also read that app killers aren't necessarily helpful. In any case, I almost don't have any apps in my phone.

Maybe superuser. I don't have Titanium Backup installed.

I agree. That's why I mentioned Gingerbread. :)
[LG Optimus Black] TomByrne94:
I'm currently using the nova ROM but want to go back to the stock ROM for a while, how do I do that?
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
You need to flash firmware over it, it's easy and you can find all the instructions in the "Firmware..." thread in this section. You need to download a kdz then flash it.
[LG Optimus Black] TomByrne94:

[LG Optimus Black] zogoibi:
Hi.

Nova v8. Sometimes -randomly, I believe- when typing some text with the onscreen keyboard in landscape mode, volume key can't move the cursor right or left unless (or until) I change the cursor position by touching some part of the text. Then it works normally. Is just me who's experiencing this?
[LG Optimus Black] i04055:
I got LG security team error when reflashing nova 8 using CWM 5.... I cannot enter recovery mode.... what should I do? should I reflash the firmware?

------------

I reflash the firmware, but i cannot install application because my internat storage detected as 0.... what should I do?
[LG Optimus Black] icsulescu:
Hard reset, cause original firmware is ext3 nova is ext4.

Regards,

Me
[LG Optimus Black] i04055:
I think so...
[LG Optimus Black] Huexxx:
The solution is reflash with KDZ method. From Nova v7 I flawlessly reflashed V10B and then Nova8.

Hard reset? Can U explain to me how to make a hard reset over a bricked OB?
[LG Optimus Black] i04055:
I already reflash with online recovery, but the internal storage got 0 MB...

It should be due to ext4 file system in nova, so I hard reset my phone and the problem solved.

I got v10d after recovery, so here come another problem, it cannot be rooted with gingerbreak... but I already succeed to root it now...

that was a long journey if you get your phone bricked... :(
[LG Optimus Black] Huexxx:
Ok, hard reset AFTER reflash... In my case it wasn't necessary with KDZ reflash.

And yeah, a long journey to get rid of a brick...
[LG Optimus Black] icsulescu:
Flash with KDZ v10a or v10b root with gingerbreak and you are good to go again :D at least this is what I did when it was hapened to me :P

Regards,

Me
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
Sama bro, v10d itu ternyata bermasalah :D

Yesterday i was also KDZ-ing my OB with france firmware v11b that can be root by GingerBreak... because I have little experiment to compile Quasar source and use it with v11b, but i got bootloop and shows LG Security Team.

What I do was like doing recovery mode by release battery, press power button and plug into USB, and press Volume Up many times... and we will get to CMW, and the process goes on :D

Actually if the phone bricked with bootloop or shows LG Security Team, the phone still have ClockworkMod, and with that method we still having way to wipe data/cache, and reflash with backed-up Nova inside sdcard.

Add: I don't think that the difference of ext3 and ext4 could make bricked, AFAIK that flashing has format partition to ext3 (kdz recovery) or ext4 (on nova).

CMIIW.
[LG Optimus Black] Huexxx:
Wow, thanks for that good info!

In my case I got stucked at LG Logo... no way to enter CWM IMHO... even plugging the charger the battery image didn't appeared...
[LG Optimus Black] i04055:
ga bisa masuk CWM bro...

I tried emergency recovery, but my phone won't enter CWM... so reflashing firmware is the only way....

and again, its not ext4 that caused my phone to bricked, but it caused my internal storage shown 0 after I back to stock ROM, since the stock ROM only support ext3..
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
What to do is remove battery, pressing power button, plug USB (keep press the power button) and many times press Volume-Up.

Perhaps a few bootloop happen, but it will goes to CWM.

I was doing that 5 times when i do my experiment with stock V11b + Quasar Kernel (compiled by myself) and ended with bricked... :D:p

It's because the data/cache not wiped, so you got internal storage full...

CMIIW.
[LG Optimus Black] i04055:
no... everything was wipped...
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Exactly, glad to see people learning.

Flashing a KDZ doesn't wipe data partition sometimes. In these cases, it will show storage as 0 and you can't install any application. The solution is easy, factory reset. It will format back to ext3 and work now.

How many times do you think I've "bricked" mine too and had to flash firmware? Probably more than 50 times already.
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
Hahaha LOL... you are the master dude... ;)

I'm just new to Android, it's not the same as playing with Linux and it's kernel... :confused:
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
You'll learn fast.

My first ROM was in December 2010 for P500. Then pause until July (university and exams), then came back and started messing at source-level, kernel, installed linux for the first time (that's right, 2 months ago) and learned the basics of sh by coding nova script.

As you can see, I had 0 experience in all of this, not even sh scripting, or java, or c.

And the funny thing is, this is only my hobby, what I actually study and work with is very different from computers.
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
Wow, that's you who learning fast...

Well, I start playing Linux about 2002 with Slackware 8.1. So many times doing kernel compilation to make WiFi or modem work with my laptop, and other friends who had the same trouble.. also the same, I was paused till 2008 when I use Ubuntu 8.04, and almost forgot everything in Linux... :p

Now we had Android, that I know it based on Linux.. but after so many reading and learning, Android is NOT Linux.. so I just wrapped around read and read again about how it works. :confused:

P970 was my first android phone, I just got it a month ago.. but before it, I just have little experience with 2 devices, ZTE Light V9 and Galaxy Mini. I was flashing cyanogenmod 7 for ZTE Light, and official upgrade 2.3.3 for Galaxy Mini. That's it.. :D

Now, I must learn to all of you who had more experience better that me... ;)

Thanks.

[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
I thought Knzo said the very first procedure when you experienced a bootloop is to enter in eRecovery when you're using nova rom. You could have wiped everything then tried to reflash nova again. As what I've read, a handful of users get stucked in a bootloop after flashing via S/W update. Either way, try to flash "via KDZ" try different firmwares, Open or for your native country.

Enter eRecovery pushing a physical key several times just after power on.
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
Have you ever heard of eRecovery? When LG logo appears, press any physical key repeatedly, like the volume rocker, or the G key. It will enter in eRecovery. Either flash what Huexxx suggested, or factory reset, or flash again.

Nova beated the 2,000+ mark!

I hope 2.3 comes soon so I can give you something new.
[LG Optimus Black] zogoibi:
A bit of feedback

To whom it may concern:

Battery indicator in Nova is poorly calibrated: after fully charging the battery, in only 5 minutes use it drops down to 95%. However, when it's almost empty, the last 5% last almost one day!

For the rest, I'm really happy with the battery life: with my average use (which is very little: a couple of short phonecalls per day, plus one or two SMS, plus daily alarm), battery is lasting me around 6 days. (At night I switch to offline mode). Funnily enough, with this schema, the application that most battery uses is the alarm.

Btw: I'm looking forward 2.3!
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
Poorly calibrated the indicator? :confused: At most, poorly calibrated your battery. But if you have 6 day battery, don't touch it! LOL 6 days :eek: (I make 1 with moderate use)

:)
[LG Optimus Black] Jack'O:
Battery indicator work fine to me, my moderate usage is like yours + 1 or 2 hours of internet about 1½ day battery life.

- reset and power off won't work. stuck at black screen.

- instability at root based apps. (i think this is the cause of all problems. with stock rom all of them work nearly flawless and so the system.)

6 days??!! how can you get that long lasting battery??
[LG Optimus Black] TomByrne94:
I think thats a bit of an over reaction, I think at best you can get a few days out of the battery with moderate use. I personally get about a day and a halfs worth of battery by only using a few apps and with the brightness on low.
[LG Optimus Black] zogoibi:
Still I don't think you can get that long with the stock ROM, even using the OB like a Nokia 3310. ;)

AAMOF, when I use my Nokia C7 like a 3310 I only get four days. Still Nova is quite efficient.

---------- Post added at 07:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:20 PM ----------

Well, of course it's not very representative. As I say, I've been making a very moderate use off the phone: just a few SMS, a few phonecalls, daily alarm, offline mode at night (I'm not the type of person who likes to be woken up by a phonecall. My sleep is more valuable than anything else) and -I forgot to mention- brightness on low (and I really mean: LOW, which is 1% brightness, enough for indoor use). However, when in online mode, I have wifi almost always on. So, probably it's possible to make it last even longer! :)

---------- Post added at 07:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 PM ----------

Well, you got what I meant, didn't you? :)

Anyhow, how can I calibrate my battery? Is that feasible? Is there any app for that?
[LG Optimus Black] i04055:
I never had a chance to test how long my battery last if I used it nokia 3310 like, coz I cannot lost my fun time with OB... :p

So as long as it last for me with moderate use (some, sms, mobile data 2g on most of the time, whatsapping, little download, video for about 5-10 minute) was 24 hour..

Yes, there are apps to calibrate your battery, but also there is another way to calibrate without application.
