i will also try out v3 when its released (hopeing it is) currently on srf and its nice but i do remember your rom being very stable and fast also
[Epic 4G Android Development] Neptune5k:
Just a little update, I went back to Supernova 2 today and my phone works like its supposed to again. This ROM may not have the highest Quadrant scores or fluff like that, but its snappy, stable, and everything works the way its supposed to.

Truthfully, I think a lot of problems I was having came from the EC05 modem, but I had other stability issues with the ROMs too. At any rate, for those of you who are thinking of "downgrading" back to EB13, it may not be a bad idea.

Only issue I have with v2 is that my LP Bookmarks widget doesn't load thumbnails right, but thats not too big of a deal.

Nova, Would it be possible for you to open up the old Supernova Repository of themes/mods/goodies?!
[Epic 4G Android Development] a454nova:
I have already cleared it all from my server. Sorry. :( If and when I reopen, I will bring it all back. I've been running a copy that's not far from stock, minus Carrier IQ, and a few other must haves. I built it for may dad because hes the type that just wants it to work and *****es about everything. :p Its been working awesome, with and without custom kernels. I can count on things working with it, that said I haven't made it back to any other Roms. Haven't had the time and with the others, something always started glitching within a week. Soooo... with a few mods and extras for you guys, this is probably what I'll put out. Its not meant to brake records but I can tell you it all works like it should and can count on the phone being there for you all the time. :)

So if my week finishes like it should, Ill have a day or so to put it up with all the cool stuff. :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] Neptune5k:
That sounds exactly like what I'm looking for. All of the EC05 ROMs I've used seem solid initially, but seem to degrade over a few weeks. I'm looking forward to the update, but take your time - v2 still works great :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] urirx98:
I am having a problem and hope you can help, been running your ROm with the DEOXED Eb13. The other day my phone spassed and now my CONTACTS ICON is missing from the bottom of the HOME SCREEN. Its totally weird, i just have 3, Phone, Messege and Apps? Have u seen that before??

While you're in Touchwiz, hit the Applications button.

Then hit Menu --> Edit

You can now click and drag stuff to your dock.

Alternatively, ditch Touchwiz!

Genocide 1.2 kernel and SuperNova v3 rom. That's what I call a dream team. Is it even possible? Could this save the day for our buggy Epic 4G's? Make me a believer, again! (-:
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
Uhmm - any new news yet ?
[Epic 4G Android Development] epic4GEE:
Yes this would be epic, you sneaky, sneaky guy.

I say do it man, build it and they will come;). Oh and sorry if your on the spot now...lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
OK = I asked for new news and it looks like we just got some new NEWS !
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
I've never used one of your ROMs (you were on hiatus when I first rooted my Epic I believe) and would absolutely love to. I've heard great things about it, so if you decide to put something out for EE03, I'd probably give it a test run.

I support your efforts to create a ROM that's 'always there for you'.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jfg69:
A454nova... ur screen name is begging for a musclecar series of ROMs, this would be a perfect comeback ;)

Sent from Fallen.Angel on 4G-less Epic
[Epic 4G Android Development] InfDaMarvel:
EE03 is just a leak, official GingerBread is soon to come. So to make a rom based off a leak seems kind of a waste of time.
[Epic 4G Android Development] squshy 7:
Say that to all the dk28 roms that were developed
[Epic 4G Android Development] Devi0124:
As excited as I was to see most of the bugs worked out with ee03 I still feel like its not quite ready. Scroll is laggy, on occasion it would take a while for a touch to register. I've used your roms in the past and I say wait for a better release. Just my unsolicited 2 cents ;-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] InfDaMarvel:
Compare the time frame between D28 and the epics official Froyo release and what we have now compared to the official Gingerbread release.

It seems to me that Samsung is really pushing forward with updates this time around. Reports are that official gingerbread should be here at the end of this month or early next month.

A short wait. Noticed how quickly they released two different leaked builds of 2.3 to the public.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Paul627g:
I say go for it man! Your one of the guru's for mods and such in the past and SuperNova was a good ROM back in the day so why not blast into the future with GB.

Heck with it even if its a leak, we all need to start learning somewhere with GB might as well start here. Most likely a lot of whatever mods, etc will be transferable on the official unless they do some massive changes between now and then to the framework-res.apk and other effected files.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Neptune5k:
I'm still running Supernova 2.2 - I'll take an update, beta-build or not. There were a lot of good DK28 ROMs, I have a feeling it will be the same for the next couple of GB leaks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ksmullins88:
ahhh i missed the nova roms =]
[Epic 4G Android Development] dandog96:
Yes please.the idea sounds great
[Epic 4G Android Development] Slimegod:
Any one have screen shots for this rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Where's the download links? Did you take them down?
[Epic 4G Android Development] raymond4:
There isn't a download link yet
[Epic 4G Android Development] a454nova:
ETA : MAY 22

No link till then. I might put up some screen shots. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] epic4GEE:
Hey nova, may I ask a question about this upcoming version of supernova?

Ok here goes, will it be rfs only?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Paul627g:
I would say yes RFS only unless someone has hacked the kernel to support EXT4 which INC hasn't had any success with up to this point.
[Epic 4G Android Development] epic4GEE:
Yeah I was afraid of that answer:(

All in due time, I'm sure it shall be the standard, once again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] eigerzoom:
i dont understand the problem with RFS

can someone explain it to me

if its the mere conventions that you believe make EXT4 better

reconsider its potential effects on shortening the life of samsung epic oneDRAM or NAND

i dont know all that much about it...but the losses seem to outweigh the gains from what i have heard
[Epic 4G Android Development] Custodian:
Everything has a sacrafice. Besides these systems that we call cell phones are not built to last for a lifetime. Nothing is. Lol. Ext4 or rfs...whatever.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
Hurray ! Another ROM to play with soon ! And screenshots on the way !
[Epic 4G Android Development] eigerzoom:
NOT whatever!!!

2 years is a giant time frame difference than say 4 years...thats double the 'lifetime'...not that this is relevant because like you, i dont know the actual reason

maybe you dont care if your phone dies tomorrow...does that mean i shouldn't care either? just sayin

why push for something you dont even understand, just to feel a probable false 'progress'.

you can read about the ext4 on wikipedia...thats where i got most of my info

however it doesn't discuss specifics...for instance of our samsung epic...

i remember hearing a pretty in depth discussion about it

something to do with the nand always writiing in blocks or something and it 100% conflicting with the write style of ext4

i could be off base on this assessment...as the discussion was back in december in IRC channel

just sayin...one step forward....two steps back...
[Epic 4G Android Development] epic4GEE:
Ext4 no journaling is a preference and its really the best currently available file system. If your happy with rfs, its cool....I'm not and will never go back.

But a454nova will make a sweet rom, I can promise you that.....ext4/rfs, whatever it is.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Paul627g:
EXT4 may have its drawbacks as far as lessened life for you device but to the average user that will only have the device for a year or two that is just fine.

Besides, most custom ROMs are EXT4 based so you don't really have a choice. You want custom ROMS, you go EXT4. You want RFS then stay stock or stock with basic simple root for bloatware removal and use of backup programs like TB and MyBackup Root and throw in Wireless Tethering. Thats it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] squshy 7:
You want some anecdotal evidence to put to rest this shortening life span thing? I have the same exact number of bad blocks (5) now as I did before making the jump to ext4 several months ago. And that number is most likely the number of bad blocks the phone shipped with (its well within the acceptable threshold).

So between ext4 and all the flashing I've done (and believe me, I've flashed A LOT), I haven't gained a single bad block. Not one.

And I've ALWAYS enabled journaling.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
I seriously doubt that we'll won't get EXT4 until official gingerbread drops, and the source is released... until then, all gingrbread roms will be RFS...

On another note, ext4 filesystems tend to be faster than rfs. Rfs filesystem are out dated and for some reason, Samsung uses this RFS filesysten for the Galaxy S phones. Ext4 filesystems are faster because the way reads and writes is more eficient than RFS. There's other reasons involved, but I don't know them. Most custom roms support both ext4 and rfs. So don't worry too much about if your wanting to stay on rfs, and not beng able to find a custom rom that supports it. The only con of having ext4 filesystem is some say that it reduces the phones life span. But it was stated by someone (whom name I don't remember) that there's not much difference in life span between the two filesystems. Not much at all.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Paul627g:
That is exactly what I figure. If it was simple and could be done, INC would have made it happen already. Once the source code is dropped then its only a matter of a few hours and there will be custom kernels with EXT4 popping everywhere.

A few posts back, yes I fully agree about the EXT4 not harming your device. I too have been running EXT4 since it was put into use on DK28 and been running journaling enable and disabled back and forth ever since then too... Device is fine... 7 months old and going strong.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Glewis21:
Can't wait for ur rom to drop today
[Epic 4G Android Development] dandrumma:
Is today the day?
[Epic 4G Android Development] squshy 7:
He gave an ETA of today. Which I hope he hits otherwise there will be plenty of trolls *****ing.

Thats why i dont like etas. People hold you to it like a deadline and seem to forget the e stands for estimated.

On a lighter note, if it does drop today I'd be pretty geeked :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
I'm excited! Although I wish it didn't have the battery % mod. I honestly can't stand it. It takes away from the theme and makes me worried about battery life too much.

Sent from my Samsung Epic
[Epic 4G Android Development] squshy 7:
You, sir, are in a minorty me thinks.

:p

(valid point tho about it making you obsessed with battery life. It definitely is an enabler of that addiction lol)
[Epic 4G Android Development] || Acer ||:
Haha, yes. Well another reason why I don't like the battery percentage icon is because it makes the graphic look less professional. I like the green gradient the regular Gingerbread battery icon has for EE03.

Ha, good point! Nova has been a bit of a ROM-tease lately... :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] raymond4:
I'm also looking forward to this ROM being released
[Epic 4G Android Development] a454nova:
You guys are funny. :D Still working on it. :) I'm trying. I for sure have the 2.2 Rom ready but starting to debate on releasing 2.3. Seems to be acting up more than I like, more than something I would like to release. Might wait for another leak before I write Supernova all over it. There are also other 2.3 Roms up now following the same mods so at this point it would be more like a theme.

2.2 is coming for sure and you'll all like it. Simple, nice and stable. If you don't see if today then within a couple days.

2.3 is now a maybe, I might just upload a theme update for you all.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Boss86:
This sounds like a sweet ROM, I cant wait to test it. Possible the best EB13 ROM of the year.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Glewis21:
not working for me to
[Epic 4G Android Development] epic4GEE:
Lmfao........:confused: time out

Quit playing with my emotions nova;)

Where is the download link? Been waiting on this Rom to drop. Haha. This is a real tease. Thank you in Advance.

May 25th :o
[Epic 4G Android Development] sonjohn1:
As you can see, you have a very loyal following. I'm eagerly awaiting your latest ec05 rom. Thanks for thinking of us.
[Epic 4G Android Development] VeNoM vZ:
the first rom i ever flashed was from you and loved it!! cant wait for tomorrow :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] dyablo:
Thanks...got ahead of myself lol.. :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] Neptune5k:
I'm pretty sure its the 25th somewhere in the world.... can't wait for the new release!
[Epic 4G Android Development] seanwn86:
May 25, I was so confused! lol :eek:

I checked my phone, checked the computer, checked my watch, then double checked.

I'm so excited!!!!1!! :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] a454nova:
:p

Still a lot of things I have to do before I release it. But so far all seems to be good.

ETA: MAY 25 2011 Early afternoon is what I'm thinking. Texas Time! :rolleyes:

Got to get a few themes finished and a couple mods too.

:)
[Epic 4G Android Development] seanwn86:
Awesome. But this doesn't mean I won't be checking every few hours lol :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] Krazy_P@:
Yeah I'll be sure to give this a shot as variety is the spice of life... (and keeps my flashing addiction going) I almost jumped back to running viperrom armageddon just for ****s n giggles but srf 1.1.1 dropped and I got 2 flash something and stop the "shakes"...
[Epic 4G Android Development] tizocalamilla:
so were can i download? there is no link up and if i dont flash soon i will start to go thru "withdraw"
[Epic 4G Android Development] Overstew:
Hahha, patience my friend, it'll come. ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] raymond4:
Whats up with the rom will it be release tonight
[Epic 4G Android Development] seanwn86:
Well it still says eta today, but maybe a little patience might help. Or we can just have him spend his free time responding to every question about arrival time.

I'd rather he work on the rom, but that's just me :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
Nah .... let's bug the heck outta him 'til he releases the darn thing ... LOL ( just kiddin' )
[Epic 4G Android Development] 30bushido1:
+1 on that brother. I've never run his rom before so im anxious to see what its about. Judging from the level of anticipation here it should be dope..
[Epic 4G Android Development] Boss86:
I am just as anxious but I would honest be willing to wait. I have tested a few ROMs and an underdeveloped ROM kinda sucks. Take your time on working those bugs out. #DeveloperSupporter
[Epic 4G Android Development] rgregg504:
First custom rom I used was supernova it was quite nice. Finally a long awaited update.
[Epic 4G Android Development] a454nova:
Not to much long guys. I'm on the finale. I'm going to play with it a little before I upload but expect it here soon. Maybe an hour. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
Good News !
[Epic 4G Android Development] raymond4:
Yeahhhhhhhhhhhh:-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Boss86:
Sweet! Have high hopes for this ROM. I'm using the ViperROM syndicate EC13 right now and hoping for one that will put that one to sleep.

I think my wish might come true afterall. I'm starting to believe.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Esteway.619:
Sooo what is the ee03 beta huh? Lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] Wizard Knight:
Whatever it is, I'm trying it. I'm already running the ee03 swiss cheese so it'll be easy to flash. Going to have to wait until morning though. Ill report once I flash if nobody has at that point.

Good night never nevr land!!!

I didn't have anyone test it because I just finished it, sooooo :( Let me know.

Thanks!

[Epic 4G Android Development] cheapfx:
Coming from ec05 srf 1.1 using cw 3.0.2.5. Install went great! Wiped everything. Restored data only from a clockwork backup. Phone is running smooth and all my old data went back on without a hicup. Will report back when I spend some more time with the rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] cheapfx:
Setcpu to 1300 performance. Set transitions and animations to fast in spare parts. My phone flys on this rom. Very snappy. I never put to much faith in benchmark programs but quadrant gave me a 1159! ??? Don't know what's going on there but real life speed is fantastic. Maybe something to look into for all the benchmark junkies out there.

I'm also gonna miss the Reboot option.

Other then that looks like another hit from BigBlockNova!

Edit: Using terminal and typing mount I discovered my filesystem was on rfs when I flashed this. This explains the low quadrant score. This must have something to do with using CW 3.0.2.5. I converted back to ext4 and seen numbers between 1600 and 1800.
[Epic 4G Android Development] 30bushido1:
Will this work with the ee03 modem?
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Oh man, now that's an OP that sounds right up my alley. STABILITY. I can't wait to read some feedback from some of those that have flashed this ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] epic4GEE:
Ahh crap, sorry nova I just flashed frankenstein. Damn to do list is getting out of hand, I'm sure its nice tho and nice to see you back in the game.;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] sonjohn1:
Per usual, this thing rocks. Thank you for a "great rom".
[Epic 4G Android Development] Neptune5k:
Great work as usual on this ROM, nova. Snappy, stable, and everything works the way it should.

My only suggestion is to release your battery-mods (which I'm guessing is already in the works), as it is now, the green mod doesn't really jive with the blue honeycomb-ness.

Keep up the good work!
[Epic 4G Android Development] sarcoptic:
I was running SRF 1.1.1 with EXT4...flashed to this via Clockwork 3.0.2.5 and somehow the file system was converted back to RFS. Just wondering if your ROM is doing or clockwork is doing the conversion.
[Epic 4G Android Development] a454nova:
My fault, I'll have a EXT4 here in a bit. I was asleep when I uploaded this. :)

I will add it in the next build. I miss it too. I forgot about that mod.

I will be. Soon.

Thanks Guys!
[Epic 4G Android Development] ilostmypistons:
Is there gonna be a ee03 coming. Love your work and would like to see what you've done with it.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Wizard Knight:
Ok, I've been flashing roms since my Hero, so asking a noob question like this is semi-embarassing but...

Do I odin the ec05 modem first then flash the rom or do I flash the rom then odin the modem?

Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] dmarden:
Modem first.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Wizard Knight:
Wow, that was quick. Thanks. I knew there was a reason I keep coming back here :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] Wizard Knight:
Ok, New problem.

when I odin the modem, the phone reboots and just sticks on the samsung screen. If i do a battery pull, go into clockwork and flash the rom, it still sticks on the samsung screen.

heeeelllppp!!!!

edit (in case it helps): I'm coming from EE03 swiss cheese. I downloaded the RFS version of this rom because EE03 is RFS. I'm using CWM 3.0.2.5

edit #2: I'm going to download and flash the ext4 version of the rom and see if that changes anything.
[Epic 4G Android Development] darren.wlsn1:
im using EE modem and all went well, try that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jasonsf:
Superuser stopped working when I flashed this over my stock rooted ec05. One-click fixed it, but it was strange.

Looking excellent so far.
[Epic 4G Android Development] inimitableac:
Where's this ext4 version and if there isn't one is there a way I can convert my file system to ext4 in can 3.0.2.5 without having to re-flash the rom
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayzooos:
I think you're trying to ask if you can make your FS EXT4 without having to reflash the ROM and I believe the short answer to that would be 'no'. It's currently an RFS ROM and I believe Nova said an EXT4 ROM would be coming.
[Epic 4G Android Development] darren.wlsn1:
its posted on dl site under RFS version.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Wizard Knight:
ok, word to all in my situation

if you're coming from ee03 swiss cheese and you decide to odin the ec05 modem, you want to flash the EXT4 VERSION of this rom.

just booted up, got a little worried because it rebooted itself twice, but all is awesome now
[Epic 4G Android Development] Wizard Knight:
how do you set it so the wallpaper will move when you move screens. it doesn't give me the option
[Epic 4G Android Development] Neptune5k:
Which launcher are you using? I'm using Launcher pro, the wallpaper scrolls just fine. You may want to check for a related option, for example in Launcher Pro its under Appearance Settings -> Disable Wallpaper Scrolling.
[Epic 4G Android Development] a454nova:
Looking into the wallpaper scrolling issue. It wasn't doing this earlier but I do see it now.

Screen Shots are up and on the download page I do have RFS and EXT4.

Links to Launcher Pro, Wifi Tethering, and other app are in the 2nd post. Working on getting more.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sarcoptic:
So I flashed the ext4 version of the rom and ran into a new issue. Everything booted as expected however I was unable to use any of the buttons along the bottom...this getting me stuck as I progressed through menus. Also the keyboard failed to work. Any ideas?
[Epic 4G Android Development] carnivalrejectq:
I cant get this or frankenstein to work. My phone currently doesent have service its not on my account so ive been usng odin to flash the ec05 modem over eb13 .....ive tried cwm3 and the latest version of cwm and after flashing the roms it just gets stuck at the samsung screen.
