DAAAAAAAAAAAMN! Everytime i restart my phone i lost all my contact i have saved on the phone. The USIM keep there, but the others desapear -.-
[LG Optimus Black] mgregor:
I was have same problem in Nova v8. Factory reset helped.
[LG Optimus Black] Diabu:
Thanks bro, i'm going to try that ;)

i don't use the default SMS app that comes it LG, so i use Handcent Sms or GoSms Pro, but in these tho apps the accents like "~" "á" and "ç" don't appear. Anyone have this problem? or know how to solve this? :(
[LG Optimus Black] NunoMCB:
Are you in nova? I used to have that Sms issue in stock rom, but since nova its ok.
[LG Optimus Black] i04055:
Can someone explain how to convert .3gp to .mp4 video format using nova script?

I had tried to run it in nova script and and than tried to record video, but the video file format is still .3gp....
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
It's already encoded with h264, just named as .3GP.

The only thing you need to do is rename the extension.

The "converter" on Nova script isn't nothing more than a mass-renamer.
[LG Optimus Black] i04055:
Ic... thanks for the explaination...
[LG Optimus Black] Diabu:
yes i'm using Nova v8 2.2
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
If I got 6 day battery, I wouldn't touch or calibrate the battery at all! You will kill me if after calibrating or anything, you get less duration (although it shouldn't, but if I can believe 6 day Black battery, I can believe anything!).

The app is called Battery Calibration in Market and follow the simple intructions in it, but I repeat, I wouldn't touch it.

:)
[LG Optimus Black] TomByrne94:
If he calibrates it and the duration ends up worse he'd just have to reflash the ROM, not the biggest deal...
[LG Optimus Black] dxdiag32:
why discontinued dude?
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
Because now starts Gingerbread game I guess, and that will be, if knzo continues his great work, another ROM/thread. (I guess)

:)

[LG Optimus Black] lesp4ul:
whoaa discontinued, thanks Knzo and all other contributors :)

@antonio, yeah maybe CM7 based ROM.
[LG Optimus Black] naeem86:
nova discontinued..now cyanogenova ahead!xD
[LG Optimus Black] WitchMX:
CyaNova , how bout that?:) whatever happens, thanks knzo for all the time and great work.
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
I prefer code-name "GingerNova" hehehe... :p:D
[LG Optimus Black] andrewbadge:
@knzo

can't the armcee share the gingerbread source so you can update nova?

Update from V8 to 2.2 V8

Hi,

I´ve installed the NOVA ROM V8, hon can I update to 2.2 V8? I've selected the WM7 theme, but notinhg hapens. Can someone help me please?

Regards

Rui Silva
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
LOL, the v8 is the v8. The 2.2 just indicates it's froyo, it's not a newer version! You are in v8, you have the latest.

The WP7 theme is the default NOVA theme

:)
[LG Optimus Black] maver:
Thank's, but the WP7 doesent work, I only see the normal launcher, or choose the LG launcher, when I choose the wm7 launcher notinhg hapens! why?

Regards

Rui Silva
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
NOVA doesn't include WP7 launcher (Launcher 7) at all. Have you installed Launcher7?
[LG Optimus Black] maver:
No, where can I get it please? and some other stuffs of WP7?

Regards

Rui Silva
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
Market and Google

;)
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Nova will always be stock-based for max stability.

Since CM is around I don't see a reason to keep the updates coming.

What I can consider is a 2.3 stock-based ROM only if CM isn't stable enough for daily use.
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
The stock Gingerbread should be stable based LG OB phone, and "Almost CM" is one of experiment with Gingerbread that applied to this LG phone.

And, I'm waiting for your next GingerNova :D
[LG Optimus Black] WitchMX:
That sounds better :)
[LG Optimus Black] WitchMX:
With the speed increase we all saw you gave to 2. 2., I think 2. 3. Nova could compete with mo problems with CM7 . After all, there's the ones that prefer the minimalist approach.
[LG Optimus Black] lesp4ul:
how about "NovaGen" :rolleyes:
[LG Optimus Black] Sly90:
From my experience in other phones, CM7 is a quite unstable rom that drains our batteries as hell, so if there wil be a Nova version based on stock Gingerbread update, I'll move to it!

Thanks Knzo for your hard work and hope to see your new future releases :P
[LG Optimus Black] lesp4ul:
It's not fair i think because Black's CM7 is still alpha build. I believe Knzo will start the development once he gets the 2.3 source and his phone back :)
[LG Optimus Black] zogoibi:
:) Well, of course that's a matter of personal preference. I use my phone for texting and making phonecalls mostly. Only very seldom I use some other functionality. But, for having fun, honestly I prefer to go out and check on the chicks... ;)

Thanks, I'll read that in a while.

Thank you, Antonio. Still I think I'll check. I hope that calibrating my battery won't affect its life. It shouldn't, at least. :)

For the rest, it seems that, with the upcoming Cyanogenmod, Nova is doomed to die. Pity. And I know it's discontinued and there's no more developement. However, today something happened to my nova v8 and I'd like to share it with you guys, just in case someone has come across something similar: suddenly, when I was using the phone, the screen got a lower grey band that stayed there for more than half an hour until it suddenly disappeared. It looks like this

Anyone experienced something similar?

Problems with some aplications

Hi,

I've flashed the NOVA ROM, and now whe I start some aplications they told me that the process has stopped and the aplication are going to close! how can I solve that problem?

Regards

Rui Silva
[LG Optimus Black] ajcantonio:
just reboot 2-3 times, it will solve your problem.
[LG Optimus Black] rizle:
i buy me the p970 and now i will figure out it will brings me benefit to install nova

is it faster then the stock rom?

will life the accu longer then the stock rom?
[LG Optimus Black] Huexxx:
Yes to all...
[LG Optimus Black] denclaud:
Hey guys I have a problem with regards to the market.

I am unable to log into Android Market. When signing in to my Google account I get an error message that says something along the lines of "There is a temporary error or your sim card is not provisioned for data services"

Has anyone else had this? I'm on nova v8. It just happened to me for the first time,

I can easily sign in before. What do you think guys?
[LG Optimus Black] poging22:
can I install this on V10D?
[LG Optimus Black] zogoibi:
Low loudspeaker volume

Hello folks:

As I'm still using Nova8 most of the time, though I'm also testing CM7, I'd like to ask you something in this thread:

Why does Nova ROM have such a low loudspeaker volume, even at its loudest set? Compared to it, CM7 is like having a REAL loudspeaker. It takes much better advantage of the hardware than Nova. Why can it be so? Is there something I can do about it, as a non-deveoper? Is there something I can do for increasing the max loudspeaker volue in Nova?

Honestly: it's so low, that I have to flash CM7 at night if I need to rely on the alarm for waking me up in the morning! :)
[LG Optimus Black] victorash:
A flash a day, keeps the doctor away :)
[LG Optimus Black] zogoibi:
LOL

Fortunately, most of the times I don't need an alarm.
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Alas, I have bad news: I have sold my Optimus Black.

Nevertheless I wanted to come here to show my gratitude to everyone who helped and motivated me to start the development for this device. I've came across many communities and this was the best. Without your enthusiasm Nova ROM wouldn't happen, Quasar kernel wouldn't happen, OC support wouldn't happen, eRecovery wouldn't happen and so on.

The reason why I sold my Optimus Black is mainly because I can't afford to have an android right now. I'm very busy these days without time for development and the only breaks I have when I'm in front of the PC are for keeping up with my news feeds and share some lulz on Google+. I need a rock solid device without incomplete ROMs or bugs (the Black I received from warranty is a bit buggy sometimes) and above all, a device that won't tempt me to develop or continuously flash ROMs, kernels or try to improve existent ones. I used to spend hours per day following android forums, news, git repos, improving nova, looking for new features, testing implemented ones and much more but this is a luxury now unaffordable. I don't plan on getting a new android or any other smartphone any time soon as I'm currently using my old SE C902 and I don't even feel the need to upgrade, at least for the time being.

Thankfully it timed somewhat well with CM's release so I know you'll be in good hands.

Thanks for everything and I hope you enjoyed the ride. ;)
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
I am really, really sorry to read that :(

Thank you very much for your perfect work and the hours we spent talking about Black and so.

Well, I hope the words thank you collect everything I want to say.

Take care, and best luck for your career!

:)
[LG Optimus Black] Sobralobo:
Feeling the same as antonio, thank you for all what you've done and your attention. I don't know what to say more so I hope you'll have good times and maybe one day you'll come back in xda. :)
[LG Optimus Black] naeem86:
this makes me wana cry!:( thank you for all your hard works dude..all the best!:)
[LG Optimus Black] zogoibi:
****ing holy ****! (Sorry.) I'm happy and astounded to read this. It makes me feel a lot of things, knzo. Makes me feel good when I see someone who has found "better" things to do than disinterestedly developing kernels. Makes me realize, as well, how swift life passes, how can we feel "friends" with someone we have never met, and we'll very likely never meet. Reminds me that mostly everything is temporary, nothing remains and -most of all- nothing really cares too much. Teaches me how easily can we do without many things that were, apparently, such an important side of our every day routine. Also, somehow it makes me feel a bit "stupid" (and thankful for it) when I see that the main developer for the phone I've been caring so much about for the last two months, suddenly gets rid of his own and gets something much simpler. Honestly, this is really teaching! It's like, gee!, like learning that the chief engineer for BMW drives an Opel Corsa... :)

I can only praise you. And that's why I'm _not_ sorry that we're missing the chance of a good knzo kernel for CM: precisely what I learn from your news, makes me care a bit less about my LG. And, WTF?, Nova is great, stable and very efficient. Why should we ever care about another ROM?

Thanks a lot for the work you've done disinterestedly, and fare you well.
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
Absolutely +1
[LG Optimus Black] vmjoaquim:
I believe everyone here is more than thankful for the wonderful Nova Rom that you have given us. I must say, the very first version of Nova (v1) was such an exciting news because there was simply no one around developing Roms for it. Truly, you are the 'pioneer' of the Optimus Black. I remember many of us posting problems we had and you answered each of every one patiently. Slowly, over the weeks, improved versions of Nova came out and each one faster, more reliable & thanks to Antonio, great looking as well. From a couple to a few hundred, Nova has very much come a long way & I know this number will only grow.

Yes, very likely we will never meet, but how uncanny it is that we feel such a 'bond' with you. Just great great stuff that you have been giving us and I cannot begin to describe how appreciative we are. All the best for you :D
[LG Optimus Black] WitchMX:
I just want to add a little something to the general feeling of this community. Its funny, I feel like when the emblematic player of your favorite football team announces his retire. Your sad because you'll never see him play the great game again, but you are satisfied with the fact that you know that I left everything in the field and gave you great moments.

Thanks knzo, really made this a great new phone.

Cheers and Success !
[LG Optimus Black] Huexxx:
Have a nice trip!

We'll see you again wherever for sure...

Regards and thanks for you hard work.
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
And I don't think that this thread will be scheduled to be closed.. :p

Thank you knzo.
[LG Optimus Black] Luhccas-X10:
Now i'll back to Sony Ericsson again... (hello Arc S)

Without knzo's support the Optimus Black is just a beautiful phone.

And beauty by beauty,SE's win easily...
[LG Optimus Black] gomez_pt:
Thank you knzo for your hard work.

I'm about to go selling my OB too. At the moment i need a small phone. however, i will certainly buy a android tablet.

I really appreciate your job with OB community and all the support

Keep going,

AMEN ;)
[LG Optimus Black] lvlouro:
Nothing I can say will add to what's been said.

Like everyone else I'm also sad to see you go and was with high expectations for all you had envisioned for gingerbread.

However I'm grateful for your work and understand the lack of time for hobbies.

I'd say that in the future you'd might find time to get back in the wagon but I know too well what will be expected in your career, free time will only get a rarer.

Thanks man! ;)
[LG Optimus Black] guipatinador:
knzo thanks for all what you did... thats what I have to say

"Cumps"
[LG Optimus Black] fightnight14:
Whenever I make contacts the phone will say system process thingy, its not responding. Tried it with v8 and even now at v4. Any ideas
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
Submit Nova on Koush's post (see my post on G+) and win a Nexus S. :-)
[LG Optimus Black] aprold:
Noticed this just now... :( Although I feel like a family member has passed away I know that there is another happier side to this story. Good luck with everything and thanks for all the fish! :)
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Hopefully I'll reach 5.000 hits soon! http://bit.ly/nova-eight+
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
Well, if Gingerbread still long away, perhaps you'll get that :D
[LG Optimus Black] gomez_pt:
any chance to implement led notification in Nova 8?

i'm back to this one, i need a stable and smooth release :cool: with no voice and sound problems
[LG Optimus Black] Huexxx:
Yes, to install Black/2X notifications from market.
[LG Optimus Black] Tedo:
Can I use Rom Manager for this rom....? :)
[LG Optimus Black] officialreloaded:
Yes. You will need to root the device first though.
[LG Optimus Black] ramrod:
I think in V10B is the battery consumption lower.
[LG Optimus Black] somboons:
what is a difference between V10A and V10B ?
[LG Optimus Black] rgabi88:
This is my first smartphone. Maybe is just me, but I think V10B is better by power drain and speed.

Currently I am on "stock" V10B + root + clocworkmod + Nova1 kernel + antonio1475's Gingerbread statusbar. In this configuration, it seems that battery life is decreased compared with simple V10B, but now I'm happy enough with it. but... again, ...maybe is just me.
[LG Optimus Black] somboons:
In V10A THA I'm flash Nova1 kernel but I'm can't a difference between flashing NOVA kernel and not flashing NOVA kernel
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
That really sounds amazing. Is there anything we can do about the recovery source, or you will ask them?

I guess you are talking about Gingerbread theme framework. At the moment is only the statusbar and notification area, because that's what the two guys asked for, and I haven't updated it with the full environment (popups, buttons, etc) because I'm not using it and I'm away from home. But if you ask, I will make the full Gingerbread UI framework when I get back home (in 4 days or so).

Right now I'm using Pays-ROM (until I can make nandroid backups again, although I think I should be able to do it now with this ROM, but I cannot). I already lost my NOVA v1 because couldn't do backup before testing Pays-ROM. I will wait for the new recovery with ext4 support :) With experimental NOVA kernel (Wifi didn't work coming from NOVA, so...). Pays ROM is based in 10B, and the screen response is really better (in nova was already good, but now it's better), and battery seems to last a bit longer.

:)
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Nova v2 is already 80% done.

Later on tonight I'll take a look at recovery.
[LG Optimus Black] cyclon1978:
Thanks for the recovery, in advance ;-)

There cant be enough code-sharing - maybe you could help out someone who will port cyanogenmod...

And about the original roms - V10A is really bad, V10B may be slightly better, but V10C compared to the first drafts is really - OK. Not more. Accu life is better, lags are much better (means gone - if you use another launcher - GO Launcher recommended).

With V10B you'll miss calls - no notifications sometimes :-( (called myself to prove it - caller hears "ringtone" but phone is silent)

Again - Thanks for your work!

Andreas
[LG Optimus Black] somboons:
Thank you :)
[LG Optimus Black] lesp4ul:
80% that was fast dude... can't wait for your beta. btw with 1900+ quadrant score should i expect major performance improvement? which did you tweak most? I/O, cpu, mem or graphics (based on quadrant test) ? imo I/O performance was good enough with your custom kernel.
[LG Optimus Black] Ipy219:
V11B is also good.altough i didnt see too many ppl using it or talking about it. maybe the devs will consider looking at it before they decide
[LG Optimus Black] lesp4ul:
because 11 series are all carrier/branded type... not compatible with many regions. like Nova v1 is using 10a branded, some users reported they have difficulty for setting up APN, dunno 'cause i did not have a prob with that. maybe noejn can explain. :)
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Well it was easy to set up the device config so I already have CWM 4.x working but:

1. I set up the UMS path but usb mount still doesn't work.

2. I confirmed adb service is starting and should be working but it does not.

3. After all ext4 support isn't just editing the recovery.fstab.

Since I'm new to recoveries and I don't have much time to dwell on this, I'll postpone it.

I'll try to finish Nova v2 today or tomorrow since I'm going for some days off (mini-vacations) already this week.
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
But does your recovery do what the 3.2 did + ext4 support for backup? If so, you could publish it so we can make backups for testing NOVA 2. If recovery is stable, of course (adb and usb didn't work neither, so it's already an improvement).

Waiting for NOVA 2! :)
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Nope, it does the same.

Except it's CWM v4 and not v3.
[LG Optimus Black] sr742:
can't wait for nova V2

hope the unresponsive lcd is solved..

:)

thanks for your work noejn
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Tomorrow I'll release it.

I did many, many changes.

I just hope I didn't **** it up but hey, I don't expect it to work flawlessly at first.
[LG Optimus Black] lesp4ul:
Nah it's okay man. It was the first version... if I may to suggest, you should call it BETA first and give us a trial so we can tell you any bugs, take any feedback and make fixes. Release the beta fix until most of us satisfied and you can release the final version. It gives you more time and advantange to develop next one. Not like v1 some of users still complain even trashing (no offense). Just a suggestion man and I really like to buy you a beer or two as soon as possible after my card approved.

Thanx noejn for your hardwork.
[LG Optimus Black] mertzi:
woohoo! really grateful that you put effort on the p970! with this performance increase, will it be able to play higher definition video? e.g. 480p on youtube?
[LG Optimus Black] vmjoaquim:
It works really nicely! Thanks alot! Somehow, My OB's battery life seemed to improve after flashing your rom. :)

nova 7

hello! i've been using the cm nightlies since a while back but i got sick of the network issues and wanted to go back to nova 7 but for some reason in my retardedness i had deleted all the nova rom zip-files on the sd-card. why i want nova 7 is because i never got nova 8 to run properly and had a lot of issues with the wifi hotspot (i use it everyday as 3g is my only internet at home) but it worked well in nova 7. so does anyone still have the novasete.zip file and would be so kind to upload it on their dropbox or similar? right now i'm back on stock 10B cause i couldn't even download nova 8 with CM on the phone as the connection dropped every-other minute, but it is like having windows 95 on your brand new desktop setup.

Hello,

I was trying to use this rom, however it seems when the cellular radio is on, it keeps crashing giving me an error about an application stopped responding (along the lins of android.phone). Basically not able to use it as a phone. My version is 10a.

Thanks
[LG Optimus Black] PinkPantherRO:
As far as I can tell, the v10b OB users haven't had any problems with this ROM so far. Is this one stable now ? Can I use it safely ?
[LG Optimus Black] officialreloaded:
Yes, this is the most stable and safe ROM for our OB till now. Also, it supports overclocking, changing governors etc. features by default. If it won't have been cyanogenmod, i would never have left this rom till official GB. :D

how can i install stock 10c task killer to tis nova rom?
[LG Optimus Black] Tedo:
Torch led doesn't work....?

Anyone have a trick or a special app? :confused:
[LG Optimus Black] PinkPantherRO:
1.) Try the hard reset.

2.) if that doesn;t work reflash with the same ROM/kernel.

3.) What's your stock firmware ?
[LG Optimus Black] Tedo:
v10e, because I brick the v10e than go to v10e.... :(

This Torch works..... :D :D :D

Has the lg home been completely removed? And the others lg apps (like dialer, contacts, etc)?

I would like to try this rom, but i like lg personalization :P Can I install it separately.

Thank you ;)
[LG Optimus Black] Sobralobo:
Of course you can, just use nova script with terminal emulator (go to terminal, type su, then nova and you'll have many options, and the one you're looking for is Application Injector).

It was already explain in first post.

Regards,
[LG Optimus Black] andrewbadge:
Has anyone of you encountered a black screen in Nova8?

No its not bricked. Everytime I reboot, LG screen will appear then black screen. At first I thought it got bricked but when I waited for around 5 minutes then the buttons stopped flashing then I touched it and it vibrated, meaning its working but I can't see a thing cause of the black screen.

Then I tried pulling the battery then booted it again still black screen, booted it again and the same black screen. But after around 10 battery pulls, boot animation appeared after the LG screen.

This issue started when I left my phone's LED light on while I look for my charger. It was on for around a minute and a half then it rebooted. So everytime I reboot my phone I still get the black screen.

Please help.
[LG Optimus Black] duvee:

it keeps saying you need internet acces.. but wifi is on..?
[LG Optimus Black] kumpooterxda:
This ROM is a savior for my Optimus Black.

After battling with bugs in CM7 I went this route and am much happier. Will wait and see to comment on the battery performance.

Any idea on how to tweak the notification bar widgets? Add remove them?
