Noejn , can u plz support Arabic keyboard only(doesnt matter lg keyboard or anything else or if u can pick this keyboard from the stock rom for middle east ) in the coming versions ?plz i cant use nova bcoz of this issue :(

everything in this Rom amazing and smooth,i realy want to use it.
[LG Optimus Black] vmjoaquim:
I've been using NOVA since it's debut and I must say that I've never looked back since. I believe the stock Optimus UI is nice, and so are many others; e.g. Htc Sense. I know it is hard to please everyone in terms of UI as everyone's preference is different so I'm not gonna talk about that. What really kept me using NOVA was the performance tweaks & very much improved battery life. Thing is, why doesn't LG implement things like that in their stock rom? I mean, it's not like they don't have the resources to do it, and I'm sure everyone appreciates great stuff like that! :/
[LG Optimus Black] memeru:
I have no problem with nova
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
Why don't you try some Arabic keyboards from Market? There are many!

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.x2android.ArabicSKeyboard&feature=search_result

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.klye.ime.latin&feature=search_result

:)
[LG Optimus Black] memeru:
Where can i get stock memo of lg i really need badly
[LG Optimus Black] zeppelinrox:
Yes you will take them out because you don't know what you're doing with memory management.

The SuperCharger build.prop ADJs will make memory management worse when using stock or juwe's oom_adj since SC oom_adj is radically different.

I'm glad I have the reputation of not putting up with dev's who don't give credit.

Show me where I have did anything but support dev's or roms who display common courtesy and don't try and kang stuff.

Maybe you got warned because people know your style of behaviour ;)

Anyway, I won't be posting any more replies either as your actions are already known.

No need to mention my name in the kernel tweaking stuff either as I take no credit for those as it's assembled from various threads which I included in the KAK script.

I don't need to kang anything.
[LG Optimus Black] garzacorporations:
You are right. The best thing that CM has is visually style.

Is it possible to update (or downgrade) wpa suplicant? With eduroam network (european universities common wifi network) has problems with this version.

The first time you connect to that network it connects normally, but if you disconnect or lose the link, is impossible to connect until next day. It's a known bug with some froyo's (ubuntu and others too) wpa suplicant version.
[LG Optimus Black] garzacorporations:
I have the same problem with alarm in nova v4.5. It does not sound.
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Thanks for the tip.

Like I said, I'm still experimenting different values and combinations.

Memory management and OOM groupings is indeed a semi-unknown field to me. Like always, I'll study the matter and find myself the best values. So don't you dare come back here crying I'm using the OOM grouping flags (I'm not even talking about values) on my build.prop.

In this last version I'm trying out different values. So far, it's been to worse. It's killing battery; I rather prefer my last version's values.

And thanks for buzzing off.

Remember, I appreciate your work but you don't have the right to request anyone to remove build.prop settings that you use. The fact that you even try is hilarious. I should copyright hw.sf.debug=1 or something and start crying at everyone who uses it on their build.prop. Hilarious really.
[LG Optimus Black] nickrule1896:
hey noejn, isit possible if u add the chinese language to this rom?
[LG Optimus Black] zeppelinrox:
The MEM values are actually secondary (the easy part). Grouping them correctly is the big thing.

Most people that notice a change, see better battery life when properly supercharged

/just sayin'

I never said to remove the 3g turbocharger grouping of ro.ril settings did I?

I just told you that you kanged it.

Which you did. It's not as if you did any research on it or anything.

buh bye
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Again, thanks for the tip. I'll study it when I have the time.

By the way: "I don't own any right to tweak OOM Groupings, OOM Priorities, or minfree values."

- you

I think you're done here. :)

Adding a language isn't that easy.

Did you try moreLocale 2 from the market?

Like Antonio1475 said, did you try an arabic keyboard from the market?

He gave you some links.

I'll look into that.

You have in your microSD card a folder called Nova. Open it and look for a text file. There you have a link on multiupload with stock applications. Download, extract "memo.apk" and "memo.odex". Then, go to your OB's Nova Script, run App Inj and choose "my own apps", follow the instructions from there.

In the next release I can include Memo on the App Inj anyway.

LG and other OEM always go for stable and heavily tested values.

And thanks for your kind words.
[LG Optimus Black] andrewbadge:
Hello, can anyone please upload this on mediafire or something? I cant copy address link :P

Edit: Solved! Used safari instead of Google Chrome to download ^_^. Flashing this soon.

When I turned it off after 1st reboot, it got stuck in a black screen. Should I remove battery? or wait for something to happen? It should turn off Y_Y

Solved! I pulled the battery off then turned the phone on ^_^ thanks to all who made this ROM! Very beautiful!
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
I've already add memo.apk + memo.odex to /sdcard/nova/appinj/myapps, and run App Injector via terminal, then reboot.. but I didn't get Memo on app drawer. am I missing something here? When i look at /system/app, there was memo.apk and memo.odex, but i didn't get Memo yet.

Thanks.
[LG Optimus Black] andrewbadge:
Help here! I accidentally removed Superuser by gingerbreak, now I'm trying to root it, but gingerbreak won't work. Need answers fast ^_^ tnx

Bricked
[LG Optimus Black] KrLx_roller:
+1 I have the same problem :/
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
If Noejn doesn't before I do, I will take a look at it in some different ways and I let you know how to make it work.

:)
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
Thank you..

Waiting for your solution...
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
I'm sorry. I tried pushing it, also MemoWidget to avoid issues, and didn't appear. So I deodexed memo.apk and MemoWidget.apk, signed them and installed, so it should work. Notes will FC when opening...

Sorry...

PS: I'm going to use my last resource for this, but it will take long, so don't be waiting for me today.

:)
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
Okay.. just let us know when it will be ready to publish :)

Thanks.
[LG Optimus Black] zogoibi:
Can't launch Power Control app

I found very useful the stock Power Control app for quicly controlling the screen brightness.

I see that Nova v4 keeps that app. However, I don't see the icon in the "home" app list. And, when I try to launch it (via app manager) I get an error ("can't launch application")

Is this a bug, or simply I don't know what am I talking about? :)

Is there a way for launching this app?

Thanks
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
Isn't Power Control a widget? Not sure what you are talking about.

:)
[LG Optimus Black] NunoMCB:
Yes, that was a widget. I found it very useful too and would like to see it in nova very much.
[LG Optimus Black] zogoibi:
You're both right: it's a widget. Somehow I've "lost" it from my stock backup. (?)
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
So there are many in the Market much much better than stock one. Widgetsoids 2.x, Extended controls and SwitchPro are the best ones I believe.

Try them. Widgetsoids is free, and the best one IMHO.

:)
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
If injecting memo.apk and .odex didn't make it appear the application you want, and if you've confirmed it's in /system/app, then the only conclusion to draw is that LG notes application is not memo.apk.

Look for others.
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
Yes it is. It has the Notes icon and when installed, it appears in app drawer as Notes. But maybe it has dependencies? :S (I also installed the Memo Widget just in case, and the same result)

:)
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
So what's the problem? It FC?
[LG Optimus Black] borrego:
I also can find the MemoWidget.apk inside the appinj subfolder but not the memo.apk to inject. If I run Memo widget alone it will FC.
[LG Optimus Black] CalamitySir:
LG Launcher

Regarding the LG Launcher in the theme chooser, when you flashed it, does it replace the current launcher or is it something like when we install ADW Launcher the we can choose between them and set dafault values?:confused:
[LG Optimus Black] lesp4ul:
Sorry for my bad english, and yes i'm waiting for miui look for nova, sense also very nice but hmm it's not i don't like but i already bored to "sense"ing when i was using galaxy spica & ace before p970. This is my subjective opinion, Others would love to sense :)
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
I had lots of memo and backed up via LG PCSuite. After flashing Nova, I restore everything (contact, calendar, bookmark, memo) to the phone, but I can't open the restored memo on my phone because there's no Memo app.
[LG Optimus Black] yeomond:
yup i also have this problem since Nova 3. i think it was working fine in the early versions of Nova. but it doesn't really bother me since there's market alternatives.
[LG Optimus Black] rgabi88:
MAybe is just me..

WHAT IF the whole perspective is not so good?

Looking to all the application related problems that users had encountered, I am thinking that, maybe, the way of approach is not the best one....

so..

What if developers leave all apps, home screen, sounds etc. at stock level. Modify all the things under the hood (kernel, scripts etc.)

Instead of adding stuff to a barebone ROM, maybe is better to remove them. Every user knows what he needs from the ROM. Sending users to Market when xxxx app is not working well to install another app for the job... I think is not a good solution.

Maybe deleting what we don't need, OC, injecting other apps etc. with something as nova script is a better solution. What's the point to inject stock apps that were there before?? I understand the need of a minimal ROM, but if it gives that much trouble, maybe we need to change the way.

Any ideeas?

Excuse my bad english, please.
[LG Optimus Black] PaulBort:
I happened to enter the recovery menu on CWM4 on boot.

Switched the phone, and then push/release the key "-"volume. Logo LG appeared, then disappeared, then reappeared and a recovery menu. All this time pressed/released "-" volume. Did a series of 2 times and 2 times it happened.
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
Yeah, I loved Sense working, but hated Sense style. But someone asked and I ran out of ideas, so... And I'm not doing MIUI if spik elite is doing it, should I? He seems to be doing a good job, but we know nothing about it since more than a week, and he wouldn't reply to my help offers.

:)
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
Memo working

Finally got it working through a friend's Titanium Backup! I'm going to make it pushable or installable and upload ;)
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
It's not because of one app not working that I'll make Nova a ROM full of LG ****. It'll stay as minimal as possible with injectable apk.

It's much more troublesome to manually remove about 100 applications (there aren't only the ones you see on the app screen, there are more running on background).

...

That's eRecovery.

I suggest you start reading a ROM's post before you download it.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16005672&postcount=2

Great, you saved me the trouble of doing it.
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
Memo.apk

As easy as extracting the apk from my friend's Titanium Backup :S Installable (Titanium seems to sign it LOL). I know you Noejn don't like installable system apps, but it wasn't me :P

Installable Memo.apk: http://www.multiupload.com/AS8ZLKPSFU

It works for me, hope it works for you guys too!

:)
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Thanks, I'll include it on next version.

If it works by installing, it's easy then, instead of injecting it to /system/app, it goes to /data/app; solved.

Edit | Doesn't work for me, FC. Tell me what else do you have installed from LG.

Edit2 | Reboot fixed it.
[LG Optimus Black] lesp4ul:
I see, well just wait if he attracted... i also have a thought about notification icons design, yes only notifcation stuffs. I'm not doing app icons. I will give you a sample when i finished one or two.
[LG Optimus Black] PaulBort:
When to expect a new version?
[LG Optimus Black] winzero:
in the night I was using nova 4.5 without any problems, but awake in the morning and android.process.phone constantly crash

I've tried:

nova 4.0 wipe

nova 3.0 wipe

works well only with stock.

as additional info, this year in Chile is testing a new time zone, and just last night was changed, remove the automatic synchronization. but still the same problem.
[LG Optimus Black] denclaud:
how can I use the alarm clock?
[LG Optimus Black] NunoMCB:
Noejn, just one simple question.

If I want to go back to the stock v10a the safest way is doing a factory reset, wipe data, wipe dalvik with te Nova recovery and then flash with the vol up+power button method?

How do you do it yourself?

Thank you man.
[LG Optimus Black] batalhaf:
Anyone did a restore sucessfully with nova recovery ?
[LG Optimus Black] NunoMCB:
I was thinking of doing it, but i rather flash a brand new firmware as I think it's the safest way. I'll wait for dev opinion :)
[LG Optimus Black] batalhaf:
I've done it yesterdar but then i bricked my phone. Maybe because i didnt wipe data before the restore, dont know...

Now i flash to the stock rom and i'll try the restore again but first i'll wipe data.
[LG Optimus Black] MauricioAedo:
Maybe is a good idea change the tittle of the post to 4.5 again?
[LG Optimus Black] borrego:
Thanks for the Memo.apk. The memo is working now!

The Nova 4.5 is working nice. It's time for donation support!
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
It's not the biggest problem which Noejn should spend time in, don't you think?

:)
[LG Optimus Black] borrego:
Noejn, you got a Paypal account for donation?

BTW, for the Europe GPS tweak, would it make locking worse when using in Asia?
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
Look for one of his posts and under his username, there is a button "Donate to me". Look just this my post and you'll see the button I'm talking about. Click it (in Noejn's post if you want to donate to him) and it will take you to Paypal site.

:)
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Meh, hard to say.

Maybe next week or only when 2.3 comes out.

App Inject it.

Nah, no need for that.

Just vol up+power, flash away. Then you won't be able to install any applications because the /data isn't formatted back to EXT3. To fix this, just go to settigns > privacy > factory reset. Done. It's how I do it whenever I brick the phone.

I recommend this method and not restore.

Check near my name. Thanks. ;)

A-GPS should be slower using Asian NTP servers yes.
[LG Optimus Black] NunoMCB:
Cool, that's quite simple. I'm getting some errors at nova regarding the MMS's that i didn't get when I first instaled it, so I will get back to stock and then back to nova.
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
What kind of problems with MMS?

:)
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Remind me again, when is 2.3 coming out?
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
Like a month ago I talked to two people in LG chat support. One in Spain and one in UK. The latest info are about late September.

However, I recently tried to talk to someone in Korean LG support (LG is from Korea), but since their website isn't text but images, I can't translate it and there is no way of getting to support section. Can anybody help in this (I don't think so...)

:)
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
I think this v4.5 will be the last 2.2 version.

It's stable enough, it has features enough.

I'll keep working on things to include on 2.3 though.
[LG Optimus Black] KrLx_roller:
Thank you very much! I think that my OB will explode if I made another wipe hahah! Hoping gingerbread will come soon. Sorry Antonio, but your gingerbread theme in Android 2.3 will be useless, anyway I love your theme and thank you for making and suporting it :D
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
Heh don't be so sure. Expect that LG will put its own interface as it does in Froyo ;)

In case LG would release pure Gingerbread, I prefer by far Gingerbread that my theme being used. But I'm afraid that a Gingerbread theme will be needed to have real Gingerbread looking...

:)
[LG Optimus Black] KrLx_roller:
I don't thought that, and I think you have reason... If so, be sure I'm gonna still be using your theme :P
[LG Optimus Black] borrego:
Donation done. Thanks for the good work!

A-GPS is fine for me. Just GPS satalite locking is a bit slow
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
After all there might be a v5 with small additions. And thanks borrego.
[LG Optimus Black] MauricioAedo:
Great!

I think there are still things you can improve and correct based on feedback from users.

Thanks!
[LG Optimus Black] lvlouro:
My LG ob arrived Friday but only yesterday I had time to flash it.

I'm a total noob but followed noejn's other threads and managed to flash it successfully on my first try.

The only strange thing was that the phone wouldn't completely turn off after upgrade to nova 4. 5 but taking the battery off solved it.

So far so good, even the timer has been working after an initial bumpy start of FC.

Two minor "issues",

I really like LG's weather widget but it isn't working on this launcher. The strange thing is that I could use the app (but not the widget) when I used nova script to inject all widgets, but then I re-flashed the Rom and injected just the weather apk and (dot)something files and couldn't use the app.

The other is that swipe keyboard has been failing to often, this might be the keyboards fault since it is still a beta, this is really annoying because I love this keyboard.

Love this Rom, I don't really have any other experience to compare to aside from my girlfriends LG. Ob stock, but it really is working great.

The nova script is just brilliant specially the app inj it really is practical.

Kudos to noejn.

Will support.
[LG Optimus Black] borrego:
If I want to remove LG system apps "injected", do I just delete the file from the /apps folder?

The only thing I wish to add to the current build is some ring/in-call volume increase tweak. Not sure if it can be done. Also the call delay patch sometimes does not work. (it works the 1st time after injection but later call seems the same.

I am getting the Nook Color, would the Nova script work on the Nook Color with a few changes?
[LG Optimus Black] MauricioAedo:
I'm reflashing nova v4 because I tested Pays-ROM.

When "Install from sdcard complete" and go back to reboot I get this error:

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

This error never happened to me before.

I formated and wiped all on my sd card, and FCs (com.android.phone) appears in Android.

I reflash three times.

What I think is the problem is that I had to install v10b LG Europe Open firmware before flash Pays-ROM

Can anyone help me?
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
1. To remove injected apps, do in terminal: "rm /system/app/appname.apk" and the odex.

2. I can try increase the volume but that's in the kernel and I'll only do it in 2.3.

3. Nope, Nova script won't work in Nook.

Ignore the cache errors, they will go away after a reboot.

As for the FCs, you're doing something wrong, now you need to think what.

Remember:

1. wipe data/cache/dalvik-cache before flashing.

2. Flash first v4. Then v4.5.
[LG Optimus Black] MauricioAedo:
It's very strange because I've done exactly that already 3 times and still same thing happening to me.

Originally my phone came with the v10a and had no problem installing NOVA, but now that I install from the v10b is occurring.

I have to install the v10c? where I can download?
[LG Optimus Black] zogoibi:
Two little questions

Hello devs. Please allow me three little questions:

1st.- I love the idea of a barebones ROM, but the thing is, I still can see a lot of "LG-whatever" in Nova's /system/app directory. Can I delete some of those without harming the system? Is there in the Nova ROM some LG **** that we can still remove? Like:

- LGApplicationWidgetsPicker

- LGDebug

- LGEmail

- lgeStreamingPlayer

- lgeVideoPlayer

- LGMITS

- LGOnScreenPhone

Some other stuff in /system/app that can be safely deleted?

Some Google stuff safe to remove as well?

2.- Is there any way to make the applicaton-widget-picker to place the different size options of a same widget in a submenu, instead of listing them all in the main menu?

3.- My phone is unlocked, and I wiped _everything_ before flashing Nova, but when I app-inject (nova script) the stock browser, by default its home page is set to the Orange website! How can that be?

Thanks!

By the way, Antonio: the Widgetsoid you recommended is great! So configurable! It can get really well integrated into the theme.

(And, wow!, I can't stop looking at the Nova theme. It's amaaazing!)
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
1. You can delete LGEmail, lgStreamingPlayer and lgVideoPlayer. Don't delete the rest.

2. What?

3. It reads the SIM card and sets a default homepage. I think this happens on the APN file.
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
Browser is set to you network site. Just go to settings and change it to Google or whatever.

I'm glad you like Nova's theme. And yeah, Widgetsoid is the best.

:)
[LG Optimus Black] lesp4ul:
I have lg weather widget working with ADW launcher ex 1.3.3 and think it'll work on nova default launcher too.

Use "appwidgetpicker.apk" (somewhere in xda forum), push it to system/app, set permission to rw-r-r, reboot, done.
[LG Optimus Black] lesp4ul:
You are using nova recovery right? I saw those errors too. Just ignore it. About force closes, here are my steps.

- wipe data / dalvik

- flash v4

- reboot 2x

- flash v4.5

- reboot 3x

- done.
[LG Optimus Black] winzero:
the service NITZ nova work properly ?

the process "android.process.phone" crash continuously from 12 pm, and just match with the change from daylight saving.
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
It should be working unless it's tied to DeskClock and clock application.

Do you have them injected? And if you switch now to manual it doesn't stop the FC?
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
Nah, got them as well when I flashed. But all is well after in my case. Not sure if there are implications though..

Forgot to quote. In response to mauricio.
[LG Optimus Black] winzero:
so the provider sends a signal indicating the time change and that signal would be that collapses android.process.phone

I have not tried to inject any application,

setting it to manual, even FC
[LG Optimus Black] MauricioAedo:
I reflash for four time and the same FC "com.android.phone"

I flash v10b stock ROM and no problem

Noejn time change might have something to do?
[LG Optimus Black] Killer7181:
Just applied this v4 custom rom to my stock LG-P970, everything went fine. Should I apply the v4.5 or stick to v4? I noticed that the apps I installed before flashing to NOVA rom has disappeared and cannot be used anymore but they are still taking some space on the memory card. Can I use them again or should I format the memory card and install the apps again? Thanks.

Edit one more thing:

How do you turn off the vibration when pressing the Menu, Home, Back and Search buttons?
[LG Optimus Black] MauricioAedo:
Finally it was impossible to install NOVA for some strange reason it do not detect the SIM card and I get the error com.android.phone even reinstall the stock rom on my phone and then tried again and nothing.

I am now with my stock root.

Regards
[LG Optimus Black] CalamitySir:
What games are the ones taking up your space? The vibrations are haptic feedback, you can disable them in the sounds settings at the very bottom.:D
[LG Optimus Black] Killer7181:
EDIT:

Fixed it already.
[LG Optimus Black] NunoMCB:
The error I was talking about regarding the MMS is that FC's keep appearing regarding the process com.android.mms and I can't send or receive sms or mms. I don't know what caused it.
