Wow this is a very fast rom.i went straight from v3 to v5.congrats knzo or noejn.you are great!
[LG Optimus Black] ruibullseye:
im still having that problem of losing GSM/WCMDA for no reason.

if i install NOVA, and then the same problem persists, there is any problem of sendind him to LG ?+

or there is any way to came to factory and they dont realize i've done all this changes
[LG Optimus Black] henrichg:
In marketaccess, checkbox name is "force installation location ". This allow force installation of apk into sdcard.
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Write this in terminal:

pm setInstallLocation 2

(it will force install applications into sdcard. 1 is internal memory, 0 is auto)
[LG Optimus Black] Ipy219:
I switched theme in nova script and the phone rebooted but it was like a little factory reset because i don t have contacts in the agenda and my google account was gone but the apps i installed before changing theme are still here and working...weird or not?
[LG Optimus Black] mertzi:
Hehe, because its barcelona. Same thing in the spanish SC, but then it was more unfair. Porto wasnt really doing anything more then playing defense today. Good goal by fabregas though and great assist by messi. Now im gonna dl v5!
[LG Optimus Black] ciz1k:
Can I flash the one which will not wipe data onto Nova v3??? (Once its up)​
[LG Optimus Black] kajapezz8:
Yes same problem for me :(
[LG Optimus Black] ruibullseye:
knzo there is any way to go from NOVA, to factory ? if my problem persists, and i need to send OB to factory?

any way of them dont know that i did all that changes
[LG Optimus Black] acidr4in:
...long day, going to sleep

Tried Market 3.0.79 xda, and standard, both with the same problem.

Will try 2.xxx tomorrow

@knzo, could u compile something that disables Packet MMAP again so i can just flash it to get back on the market if i need something important?
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
There'll be no non-wipe version.

Just flash firmware (kdz) to go back to factory.

No, it's built-in the kernel.
[LG Optimus Black] acidr4in:
okay, no problem, thanks anyway.
[LG Optimus Black] ruibullseye:
and with that knzo, it leaves no trace of any root, and all of that, that i tried to flash and stuff ?

they wont be able to see any trace of that?

sorry for answering again, im just afraid they use that as an excuse for not repairing
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Yes, it won't leave any trace.

And this has nothing to do with Nova, I'd prefer if you ask these kind of questions in general section or in firmware's thread.
[LG Optimus Black] mertzi:
Everything seems to work perfect. The new launcher is great too, good work!
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Yeah zeam is nice, too bad it consumes more battery than it should.
[LG Optimus Black] shourov:
ok.. i have installed some stock application thru app injector.. but no use its not getting installed but i can find it in system folder... i have restarted sevaral tyms... help me plss.. thank u... :-)
[LG Optimus Black] mertzi:
2408 in quadrant, that's my highest ever, at 1.1.
[LG Optimus Black] mertzi:
More than 4.5? Cause I've had awesome battery life with 4.5
[LG Optimus Black] mertzi:
Or did you mean that zeam eats more battery?
[LG Optimus Black] ruibullseye:
this question has to do with NOVA in some way =).

i have 10a, any problem with gingerbreak or i need to update ?
[LG Optimus Black] digitalfrost:
Eu gosto :D
[LG Optimus Black] nunogil:
That's because noejn removed the lg hidden menu to make it faster and free of crappy apps
[LG Optimus Black] somboons:
thank you nunogil ,I can flash firmware and completely now,but I can not boot my phone It stuck LG logo on screen
[LG Optimus Black] somboons:
I brought my cell phone to LG support center.it's OK now.

If I don't flash NOVA ROM how can I disable ascending ringtone?
[LG Optimus Black] i04055:
can someone give some review about the battery life of this ROM?
[LG Optimus Black] somboons:
I can't use too.
[LG Optimus Black] rgabi88:
@digitalfrost

Do a factory reset. Maybe it helps.

Sent from my LG-P970
[LG Optimus Black] kingvui78:
I have the same problem that alarm clock can not use, but what I do is install others better alarm application to solve this problem
[LG Optimus Black] somboons:
@digitalfrost ,you have a problem same me.I brought a cell phone to LG support center for solve problem .It's OK now.
[LG Optimus Black] jbmir:
hi, i flased rom and kernel and now wifi isnt running... any help?

thanks
[LG Optimus Black] kingvui78:
Try factory reset, no wifi problem for me with nova rom and custom kernel
[LG Optimus Black] rgabi88:
Re-download the kernel and reflash it...

First Noejn's Nova kernel release had wifi broken. I had this problem, too.
[LG Optimus Black] Wady el-Natrun:
My wifi work fine:-) and this rom is perfect!
[LG Optimus Black] kajing:
Noejin, just wanted to say thank you for doing this work (just now registered to say so) thanks for making my phone better. A lot.

Flashing this took me ~15 min (already had cwm installed as per instructions from the other thread) including the downloads, had no problems at all, no trouble with the touchscreen and Quadrant went from ~1100 to ~1600.

And it actually feels a lot more responsive/fast/slick, its not just the numbers in the benchmark ;)

Flashed from 10a stock (+cmw 3.20) to nova and then added the experimental kernel, no trouble at all.

Thank you!
[LG Optimus Black] Ipy219:
so i need v10a or v10b to use nova? cuz i'm on v11b
[LG Optimus Black] kingvui78:
No matter v10a or v10b, just flash clockworld recovery then flash the NOVA rom
[LG Optimus Black] somboons:
now,i am using stock firmware v11b.if i need to convert system file of this to ext4 just like nova rom.how can i do?
[LG Optimus Black] evilenter:
Hi, I'm a noob using android phone and to XDA just recently.

I managed to get root permission (using GingerBreak), and got the CWM 3.2 installed.

I flashed this ROM successfully, and it really has better performance than stock ROM.

I tried to change bootimages, and it work, too.

My problem here is when I tried to backup via CWM, it gave me error message "/system can't mount"

I thought it has something to do with the updater-script (which I don't know anything)

Could someone tell me a little bit in detail about how can I change things so I can mount /system and make backups.

Also about the theme part, I choose to theme battery, and I upload the framework-res.apk

I downloaded the file from kitchen, and from this point, I don't know what to do?

Flash the .zip file? Should I do anything about updater-script to tweak something?

Thanks for NOVA ROM, Noejn, great work.

Edit:

Looking into few posts, someone says can't mount /system error has something to do with the CWM not support ext4 (just my opinion).

I used Xantaro's method in his post: [Recovery] Clockworkmod for LG P970 Optimus Black

any thoughts?

Thanks a lot.

Edit:

Oh! I think I know what updater-script means.

So I just extract the updater-script file from NOVA_v1.zip and put it into UOT_XXXX.zip and replace it?

Do I get it right?
[LG Optimus Black] Ipy219:
same thing here.can't make backups anymore.btw the rom is nice and fast..good work!!
[LG Optimus Black] aerosoul1:
same here :(
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
A minute ago I was reading about.you guys couln't make backups. I go to recovery and can't neither because of system. I made backups before, but now that you say it's because ext4 recovery, it makes sense. So without backup until someone fixes it...

:)
[LG Optimus Black] lvlouro:
Well,

So far, not good...

I believe my problem as to do with titanium backup.

Before wipe I backed up all apps, wiped, flashed, installed titanium and then restored all apps...

I've been getting FC in a lot of apps...

I'll try flashing again and installing every app from market and I'll tell you if it worked...

If so I'll try to find out what I'm doing wrong with titanium...

First android phone, lot to learn ;)

I like very much the reboot and recovery options, I used widgetsoid for this since it allowed for a switch to be created for boot that asked what kind of boot you wanted.

However this is much cleaner and well integrated.

IMHO I think you shouldn't have eliminated the stock launcher, but perhaps I'm just being picky.

Edit:

didn't work even superuser is FC...

Re-downloading and this time checking Md5 :)
[LG Optimus Black] CalamitySir:
As long as you have Android 2.2.2 or Android 2.3, you can use GingerBreak(v1.2 is the latest i think) to root it(it works perfectly fine) then flash knzo's recovery and then flash NOVA.:D
[LG Optimus Black] lvlouro:
just realized I still had the other download and checksums are the same...
[LG Optimus Black] ruibullseye:
how or when i can do a backup of factory if i dont like NOVA v5?
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Titanium backup is a dirty backup solution. The risks of incompatibilities are very high. I never recommend using it!
[LG Optimus Black] evilenter:
Hi hi,

I flashed the whole brand new Nova-v5.;)

Everything is fine and fast, but I do notice a little...let's call it bug.

In Nova script, sometimes you have 5 options with 0. return, but in description it only has 1,2,3,4 and 0.

Another thing is if I choose LG stock theme, I press the power button it'll have hot reboot (maybe? I don't know exactly the term), and power menu never showed up.

Maybe it's a theme issue, perhaps knzo or antonio1475 can look into it.:cool:
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
About the script. I understand that the general description doesn't always match with the number of options. If it's that, man it's a silly thing. If it's not, explain better.

LG stock theme does not have Power Menu. Stock theme, you get stock theme. It can be done though. Maybe I will do it, but *probably* not.

:)
[LG Optimus Black] lvlouro:
Re-flashed and this time on top of rebooting 2 times after initial boot I rebooted every time I made major changes

It seems better now.

I'll keep reporting

The timer worked in nova 4.5 although after a initial period of FC, and right now it doesn't work again. Hope this solves itself like previously.

One thing I notice is internet speed increase, mainly in market, Excelent :)

Quadrant scored 2200+ só it seems as ok ;)
[LG Optimus Black] lvlouro:
Now I basically restored via titanium and if an app starts to give me trouble I uninstall and go to the market.

I'm a lazy lazy person ;)
[LG Optimus Black] evilenter:
Yeap, it's pretty silly thing, I know, just want it to be perfect.:p

About the power menu, I mean, I can't even choose power off, cause there's no menu.:eek:

Feedback Nova v5

Hello. Downloaded and installed Nova 5. So far, just a couple of things:

- In homescreen settings, when hitting Zeam launcher it gives an error. Though after a third reboot this get fixed (and Zeam launcher sends me to a website, so it actually doesn't do anything really "useful"; I mean, it doesn't launch much ;)

- When trying to change theme in nova script to either WP7 or Gingerbread, system crashes(?) or reboots with error "com.android.vending" and reboots; it actually changes theme, though. (By the way, what's the difference between WP7 and WP7 %?)

- I liked much, MUCH better the v4.5 launcher, with the "symmetric" lockscreen and, most of all, the lower icons in grey tones, and the vertical "star wars"-style applications scroller. It was waaaaay more elegant. That was a masterpiece, Antonio! Pity you've moved "back" to the tacky (hortera, para que me entiendas) colourful icons! :-P

If I find some other issue or anything I'll let you know, or I'll keep giving feedback. However, I'm afraid that, unless this new version of Nova gives me sensibly more battery life, I'll downgrade to 4.5: I've never seen anything so beautiful in Androids.
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
LOL really? I haven't tested it. Going to test it now ;)
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
1. Don't know :S EDIT (I knew I missed something): The difference between WP7 and WP7 % is without or with battery number (look WP7 theme thread to see it)

2. It needs some reboots. However, flashing themes the old way (downloading them from themes section) seems safer. Do it that way. knzo agrees in this

3. You are mixing lockscreen with launcher here :confused: centered lockscreen??.

knzo thinks that Zeam drains more battery. Anyway, there are many launchers, you may love this one I may upload the previous launcher too ;) I don't understand what tacky icons you are talking about :S

It should be better in battery and performance (long term specially).

:)
[LG Optimus Black] CalamitySir:
If you dont like NOVA, then get the f**k out of here!! NAH...just kidding:D, everyone has a choice:D, you can backup your apps with Titanium Backup or do a nandroid through recovery(google it)....if you want to backup your ROM, make sure you have root and superuser then install ROM Manager and there is a feature which you can backup your current ROM then you can flash others...anyway NOVA is near perfect, since there is only 2 ROMS available for Optimus Black(NOVA and Stock ROM) just use NOVA, since it can change between themes....:confused::(:p:D
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
Question, then why you use it in Nova v5 if it has more battery usage?
[LG Optimus Black] Reasec:
Flashed Nova v5 and everything is super stable (clean install of everything). This version is pretty amazing, much better than v4.5 (i like the minimalistic UI). But.. í have the same problem with Zeam launcher as posted above.. it needs specific touch to scroll thru the pages (except scrolling in the zone of dots).
[LG Optimus Black] vmjoaquim:
Hmmm, in Nova v4.5, the signal strength display was working perfectly fine. But v5's seem to have the problem again. I understand this was written down under known issues, but I just wondered if this had anything to do with the theme or the rom itself. I remember that a previous version of Nova had a similiar problem and it was theme related. True enough, it isn't much of a problem in terms of using the phone, but it's these little things that makes the whole rom work so much better. Still, thanks a million for this wonderful rom! :)

WTF??? LGMobile Support tool reports Nova5 as V10A:

Love power menu!!
[LG Optimus Black] Reasec:
None, always do a clean install.
[LG Optimus Black] mertzi:
But it would be nice to not have to download every app from market every time you make a wipe installation, I don't like titanium but it seems to be the only backup solution that also restores "my apps" in market
[LG Optimus Black] yeomond:
ive restored my apps+data using titanium backup form v4.5 to v5, no problems here
[LG Optimus Black] acidr4in:
same here ;)
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
I believe you talk about Wifi signal icons. We have localised the problem and I'm afraid it's not the theme.

We tested the new theme in nova v4 and v4.5 and wifi icons work great. The problem seems to be caused by some tweak (knzo will correct me if I'm wrong), but it's better having the tweak than a wifi icons that are just visual indicators that doesn't indicate the truth. Is like a faster car that the RPM indicator doesn't work-->I don't care too much.

:)
[LG Optimus Black] Huexxx:
Hi all!

I've just installed the from from scratch and overall fine.

Comments:

- When you hit reboot or recovery from power menu, then appears the power off dialog... I'm agree with confirmation menu... (both power off to reboot) but maybe the confirmation menu for reboot or recovery should be personalized.

- I'm glad to see Zeam like default launcher but, how can I update it? When i had it downloaded from market, it advise me from updates.

- WiFi icon issue... already known... maybe knzo can comment how to remove the tweak and each one decide if mantain the tweak or see the icons well...

- UV... why not mantain the new compile with smartreflex flag in order to probe it? it seems identical as v4.5.

Regards!
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
1. No it can't. It's the same confirmation dialog than Power off. The thing that could be done is "Are you sure?" Instead of "it's going to turn off".

2. Convert it to user app with Titanium Pro or whatever. Don't know :S

3. I'm pretty sure it's not just "remove that file and you are done", but he will say.

4. -

:)
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
The crash then reboot is fine, it's normal. It's when he replaces files in /system.

WP7 % has a battery percentage.

You mean the stock 2.3 launcher? I like it too. Zeam is also nice.

I only noticed it now. In next update I'll leave zeam out probably.

I know but it's a minor issue, I won't fix it.

Open market, then open terminal: su, srw, rm /system/app/zeam.apk, then long-press home, choose market, download zeam again. This is a dirty method but should work.

Actually, I have no idea what's causing the icon issue. It was working on the first v5 beta. After it, I only changed some script's syntax, changed themes and launcher. I didn't do anything else...

I said I forgot to include it. It's broken (or seems broken) anyway but I'll include it on the next version for you to play with. Maybe you'll catch something I didn't.

That's Quasar's TCP Veno working!
[LG Optimus Black] lvlouro:
Well I'm probably doing something wrong...

did you backup just app or data also?
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
I used to constantly restore app+data. I read it may cause problems, so all the apps I could, I went to the market.

For some apps, Titanium just app

Only the special apps like WhatsApp, I restore app+data (So I don't have to pay the SMS to activate WhatsApp service again).

Changelog

v5.7 [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 but UV still broken)

Sorry for the small update but I have OCD.

No need to wipe.

On a side note, here are some interesting demographics and statistics for Nova v5 released yesterday: http://bit.ly/nova-cinco+ (choose total instead of past hour)
[LG Optimus Black] Huexxx:
Is there much difference between the AOSP and zeam lanches about the battery consumption?

How have you measured it?

I'll play with UV...
[LG Optimus Black] Huexxx:
1.- I exactly refer to that... modify the dialog to a generic one for all the cases.

2.- Solved.
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
I will try to change it for "Are you sure?"

Well, I know how to do it, but I need translations for Are you sure? in all languages :S I don't think I'm going to do it. It's not worth it and "your phone will shut down" is not so bad... it's a silly thing.

:)
[LG Optimus Black] Huexxx:
Ok! ...........................
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
I tested v5 for 2 or 3 days and was getting x battery.

Then, the last day I updated Antonio's themes to last version, changed market version and launcher to zeam. In this version (which was the released one) I noticed the battery being drained more quickly, let's say x/2, so I installed my diagnostic combo: load monitor, power tutor, watchdog and juiceplotter.

The conclusion I withdrew from looking at these applications gathered info was that zeam was consuming much more cpu resources than aosp launcher, hence the battery drain.

And ****, I forgot something in 5.7. Here we go 5.8.
[LG Optimus Black] borrego:
I installed V5 this morning and V5.7 just now. I must say the standby battery life has been much improved from V4.5. It made me wonder if the battery indicator is also broken like the wifi indicator.

I also like the V4.5 lock screen better (more polished). May knzo can consider putting back the v4.5 lock screen to V5.8?
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
If you prefer previous lockscreen over all the new changes, you can download previous version of themes in the proper thread in Themes section and flash it

;)
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
I confirm this.
[LG Optimus Black] WitchMX:
Installed v5, first thing I noticed was that the screen felt a lot more responsive. Another thing I noticed was that my internet was veeeery slow, wifi and 3g/H, during the first minutes WIFI would'nt even seemed to work.... after a few minutes both 3G and WIFI were working fine.

Another thing that happened is that while downloading an app from market the phone rebooted it self when download was complete. I had downloaded several other apps and nothing had happened.

Updating to 5.8 now.

Thanks for the great work!
[LG Optimus Black] borrego:
Tough choice, as I like the rests of the new version better ;) I travel a lot so showing the operator on the lock screen is useful when roaming.

Just flash the V5.8. My P-970 is now head & shoulder above my Nook Color now. Just hope the CM7 developer can incorporate the same things to the Nook Color CM7 rom
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
Hmm if it's because of that, I think in next update I will include the carrier name ;) If I don't I will make a special version for you with carrier name if you ask nice ;)

What I won't put is the SIM icon, but carrier name small... hm probably.

:)
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
What about including go launcher ?
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
Perhaps you could find this useful regarding power menu on Nova. I don't know if it covers all languages but you might want to take a peek.

Hate it; it's either zeam or aosp.
[LG Optimus Black] PaulBort:
Something Nova-5 (5.8) is not happy... Again revert to 4.5. Camera - pink spot in the middle. And the phone constantly going to reboot to stop all kinds of processes.

Can you specify the pink spot? Is it a dot or a viewfinder dot?

Maybe it is a stuck pixel.
