Any plans to integrate the Nova kernel?

I'm very happy with Nova 2.0 on P.A.C. Nova 4.0 gave me all kind of issues.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ben36:
Nova 4 works perfectly for me

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] rohitteja:
Is this 4.2? 4.2.1? or 4.1.2?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MadCobbler:
Its 4.1.2
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dontsurf:
Most definitely found a bit of a big issue - for my anyway - because charging from the car stereo via USB is very buggy.

I had an original charging problem via USB from the PC that was resolved with a couple of reboots. I don't normally charge it from the car unless I'm totally desperate, which I was today, but it wouldn't charge. Not even if I turned it off. The car stereo - also a Sony - recognised it as a media device, but it wouldn't go to charging. When I plugged the cable in, I got a very brief - fraction of a second - image of the charger in the battery level indicator, but then it went off and clearly wasn't charging. When I got into the city and parked up, I unplugged and replugged it a few times and then turned it off with the cable in place and it worked and charged enough for me to take a phone call.

But that's a big problem for me - even though it had gone a full two days without charging, it really needs to charge from the car! Anyone else have similar issues? Any ideas why it'll charge fine from the PC but the car stereo won't charge it?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ben36:
Try a different kernel for charging

Sent from my Jellybean Xperia S :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shingers5:
thats very strange and id be inclined to say try another cable mate. sony devices are very particular when it come to stuff like that and for most only sony cables work.............samsung too can be this particular. are you using the sony usb cable that came with the device? if not try that as you will find that it most likely what the problem is. my reasoning is this ..............if you say that due to the rom it wont charge then no matter what you do it wont work.............if plugging in etc kinda makes it work its most likely a hardware issue. also if this was the case no one would be able to charge off the usb cable not just you! the fact that it acknowledges it when its plugged for a fraction means that the rom picks it up but the hardware issue negates the charging effect...............could be a usb port or the cable..............eliminate those first as that sort of issue would affect everyone if the rom was causing it. sony x10 was known for it especially when flashing and charging.......usb port sometimes charged phone but wouldn't let you flash the phone etc. no defending the rom but there could be other things amiss here
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shingers5:
well seeing that nova kernel is an easy flash job via recovery then there is no point..............the dev also has a thread which benefits from the traffic. infusing it doesnt add anything extra over flashing as a standalone item. we are quite happy to advise people to try it as long as the dev is happy with us doing so.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dontsurf:
Yeah, first thing I did when I got back was try the official Sony cable in the car. The one in the car is a HTC cable. Didn't work with either of them, but it recognised the phone as a media device and the phone recognised the head unit and went into MTM. So I tried hooking up the missus' Ace to the head unit with both cables - worked both times, started charging and went into MTM.

As soon as I got back and plugged the Xperia in to the PC, it started charging straight away. Tried both cables - both of them worked.

So, both cables charge on the PC, but neither cable charges from the head unit. But the head unit and the phone recognise each other. Both cables will charge a Galaxy Ace from the car.

It was working before v18, although I had the issue with it not wanting to charge from the PC when I first flashed 18, but it worked after a reboot.

Stock Camera

Is it possible to port the stock 4.0.4 camera in to this rom? Because CM10 camera has limited options and the image quality is not at par. :confused:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] John Strijke:
I understand, you'er right flashing the kernel is very easy.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
No. The camera relies on Sony Framework, so a no go.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] karasev1:
Thanx for this rom bro it is superb. i find a bug i think "Kill app back button" is not working.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shingers5:
well it can only be the kernel as thats all we have changed. next release will be stock as it will have all the new 4.2 goodies from aokp, cm10 and PA

strange as it should do. have you enabled it in settings?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] karasev1:
yup it's already activated but it isn't working.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Jmjguru:
No bug, works just fine for me.. Do you press and hold the back button?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bhs2x:
Thanks.

Is there any app that can replace sony's stock cam?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] karasev1:
Yes i do. it is working in cm150 but not work on pac. strange.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
Camera FV 5 is a good one.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dontsurf:
Sounds good. Looking forward to it... I might try a different kernel in the meanwhile if I have time.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shingers5:
Well its obviously not down to the rom as others would have same issue. Enable it in cm10 settings not rom control
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xmixmaster:
Camera MX its good too
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shingers5:
New project needing testers as flash method is a little different. Pm me and we will give details. Its 4.2 and its pure. Holla at us if you wanna help
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] John Strijke:
Will pictures be of the same quality of pictures taken with a stock rom. Or will be pictures of a custom ROM always be of less quality?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] -Johannes-:
The jelly bean drivers for the cam are only beta and not as good as stock.

...sent from my xperia s with jelly bean <3
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xmixmaster:
better quality than beta stock JB..

The camera works adequately but with 3rd party apps you get a few more enhancement features

Is Instagram working with PAC? With both CM10 and AOKP the images are not visible when editing in Instagram.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nrp31:
No..i am on PAC and have the same bug

---------- Post added at 02:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:14 PM ----------

you need to wait for a few seconds and images load with filters
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shingers5:
Things are sure picking up in here now which is very good. Aokp and aosp and nova kernel so the future is bright in here. I hope all the devs can get along and avoid what happened in most other forums on XDA

whats that mean? was that a joke? if so :laugh:

i dont really care what others think of me or my team...................we let our work do the talking. i dont miss sleep at night thinking my thread might be on 2nd page nor do i sweat about others roms being produced. i welcome it as it keeps this place alive! i have a life outsid of XDA which i need to tend too so this is a hobby! dont need no donations as i can look after my own and actually my GF thinks i smell of roses in a hard knock way! :cool:

PS

i dont read other devs threads either
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
Two things: First, yes, it was a joke from him. Second, sometimes reading other threads might help you and the other dev :D Cooperation at its best.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shingers5:
we are really working hard at it.................we think the issue is with sonydev where the roms were compiled from. we are now trying a different github so will have results later. watch your pm. FnV testing will soon commence but we need a working 4.1.2 version first. felipe(felimenta97) and akhil(ap030993) are working hard to get this project up and running.............. stay tuned!

things are changing here so we are also adapting to the change but making some fresh changes!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
There is a bug that most (if not all) third party music players don't work. It is well known. Go back 10 pages, and half of the posts are about it
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shingers5:
This ROM will be refreshed soon and taken in a new direction. Just as with PA we are going to do a full clean compile to get a really clean base that you guys can play with and expand to your liking. Let us know what you do and how we can help
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
Dunno why your quoted me, but anyway.

All users should know that those ROMS got a dev stop because their big updates are coming. PA and CM is working hard to update their sources to Android 4.2. I have no idea from AOKP, though.

PAC relies on those other three. All that can be done is wait till that is done.

But every user should know that a new ROM is coming to Xperia S. We should have it by New Year at max :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shingers5:
quoted you cause i can and its up to me if i do ore not! :D seriously i was meant to press reply on phone and hit quote.

Well it will have all the latest updates from cm and aokp, I've cleaned out the entire directory and resynced everything, so its not a major update but hopefully is should have some little fixes in it and it will still be 4.1.2.... We won't see a 4.2.1 PA or a PAC rom until PA comes out from being closed source and especially until we can get 4.2.1 aosp working properly. Like shingers5 has said we have tried numerous 4.2 aosp builds and had no luck with them... Massive thanks to the testers for their help.

Right guys we are changing things slightly as needs must. My XS is bootloader locked and useless and i makes me frustrated that i cannot flash and troubleshoot peoples problems. It means i am not giving you guys a 100% so we have decided to have a member of this forum who has been supporting this rom from day 1 so he can release the ROM in a new thread. We will continue to update PAC and provide the builds to this person to release and maintain as he has device. His name is ap030993 who you may have all seen in here and in others. He will be releasing new PAC in a new thread and get all things ready for PAC 4.2.1. Show him love and support. I will still be here offering support and advice as usual

Hy @shingers... Sorry to bother, and ill understand if you dont reply but with youre XS and mine we are in the same position ne chance of BL unlock, so is there really no way to port some kind of hybrid witch works with stock kernel i allways pointing the same example of jjDoctors rom for 2011 xperia line like on my girlfriend xperia Neo, the fact that that with my XS im never be able to taste something diferrent due to a carrier lock blew all the magic of hacking and modding,do you think there s a chence for the such kind of port?

right guys i am back...........................

things didnt work out they way we planned so a change was needed! i wont go into whats happened but we brought you PAC and made you love it so we will continue to bring it to you well into the AOSPA era. As we know for now 4.2.1 isnt fully functional so while we wait this rom is stable as a rock and offers the best of all worlds on 4.1.2.

NEW LINKS ADDED _ NEW VERSION 19.3

overall smoothness has improved and things are just coming on nicely as we prepare for the transition to 4.2.1

sorry for any confusion caused by the other thread closing but sometimes in life things just doesnt go as planned! respect our wish to stay silent on the matter and even if others comment we will not be engaging in it!

thanks again for all your support and from now on i will be keeping this alive!

AC!D sound mods (6.1)

Hei's Nova Tweaks 1.0

Hei's Nova Kernel 1.31

KILLERDROID's 4.2 gapps

This Rom, stock cpu clock, intellidemand governor and sio scheduler is a great balance between performance and battery life.

Nokia Purefont from the tweak pack is looking pretty sharp as well.

Shingers, any chance of getting this package added to the next build?

Hey good to see you still here. Can I suggest you do a clean flash please! Back up your data partition in recovery or TB! You can restore only data partition after flash to get all apps back! Like I said I can't comment on other kernels and stuff and new Pac updates contain many UI fixes which may not work well with another kernel. After clean flash can refresh nova and enjoy your previous setup. Try jmjguru fix first if not try my suggestion

Right guys this is back to being a community Rom where we want users old and new to express themselves freely be it positive or negative. We want to hear it! Tell us what you think of the Rom and what changes you'd like to see or any additions you may want!
