I would agree, this does seem much better than the CM9 or CNA releases at the moment. Great ROM!

Already tested :)
BTW, it's looks like I can't download NOVA 2... I'm trying to contact Gameloft, but it seems that they took their day off...
Did anyone had this bug? (I link the image) :

I just tried NOVA 2 again, does the same with me, really wish they would at least provide alternative means of downloading SD data(torrents or cloudshare) Well we can look forward to NOVA 3

I can't make the pad work with asphalt. Do you have a workaround? :)

Which kernel are you using? I used the latest Keiran's Kernel (dfk4.img) Also I tested this with my Stock Gingerbread Titanium Backup of Asphalt 6(which is free on the xperia play) on this ROM and I still had the SD Data. The market might not pick up the right version of this (Adreno) Try flashing back to stock GB, root and busybox, install game, backup with TB and restore again on this ROM.

Yeah I hope so. Hopefully, it only costed me 1€, but it's makes me a bit upset...

I'm using KeiCS v2 right now. Gonna try it when I'll have some free time, I'm in the middle of the exams week TT

Anyway, thanks for your help! :)

I'm pretty sure I did that once, just had to flash the cdma fixes over it. Worst case wipe and reflash both

didn't write it... im sorry.
THE BEST ROM ATM!!!
If only video recording would work and if i could overclock my phone to 2ghz as in doomkernel it would have been perfect :)

Is it just me or does it feel a little sluggish? Menus seem to crawl, animations are hesitant..those kinds of things. I'm on a R800x with KeiCS kernel, OCed to 1.2

You are experiencing the effects of a FPS uncap.
On this and CM9, the frame rate is not capped, and because we have a 60Hz screen, we can only theoretically update the screen 60 times a second. So by default we are capped at 60fps. Because the frame rate is not capped, your 3D performance will be miles better, and it has been done in a way so that there are no horrible artifacts. So scrolling through menus may seem sluggish, but that is because it is doing it faster than your screen allows :)

    And you all should consider clicking thanks to the dev, he did all this with little support, for a rom that we are lucky to have :)

    Sent from my Dark R800i using Tapatalk 2

    Hardly anybody clicks thanks anymore, my ROM has been downloaded over 9,000 times but nowhere near that number bothers to click the little button.. can't imagine how many have downloaded Darkforest ICS!
    A bit of a depressing tale for devs but hey we live with it don't we?

    Anyway, fantastic work supervenom!

    It's a great ROM and is coming along very, very nicely :)

    Based on new Sony sources.

    Deep sleep is fixed, and so is video decoding :)

    Enjoy, watch videos and have deep sleep

    O word sorry read somewhere that ext3 was the way to go because of performance. O well I will switch that up. Wanna save this class 10 32gb sd. Thanks Dan

    Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app

    This is true, ext3 performs better than ext2 - but only because of journaling. In the case of flash-based storage like the microSD, it's actually bad.

    "ext2 is still the filesystem of choice for flash-based storage media (such as SD cards, and USB flash drives), since its lack of a journal minimizes the number of writes, and flash devices have a limited number of write cycles."

    The main reason journaling provides performance benefits is because it reduces the need to seek and can help make up for filesystem fragmentation, but both these factors are not a problem for flash storage because there is a near-zero seek time.

    ext4 is the same case. It will have better performance but not so for flash-based storage. There are more features that ext3 and 4 have over 2, but they are all practically useless for Android (and embedded Linux) and will result in slightly higher memory and CPU overhead. On our device with only 512MB of RAM, keeping memory usage down is essential!

    BTW, even if you have an ext3/4 filesystem, you should be able to chose "ext2" in Link2SD and it will mount it in ext2 backwards-compatibility mode. This is OK and has the same effect, there's no real need to reformat it as ext2 (unless it still doesn't work of course).

    From what I know, ext3 and 4 should have journaling disabled in the kernel level (otherwise your microSD will not last). However, ext3/4 tend to be corrupted easier when journaling is turned off because it depends on it's journaling feature for recovery.

    I used to use ext3 myself, but I would occassionally get FC's from e.g. games that were linked to the card. I discovered that the filesystem kept getting corrupted. Since I switched to ext2 (a long time ago), I noticed better performance (maybe because of the errors, maybe because of less overhead) and never had any filesystem problems since.

    In summary - ext3/4 might provide a negligible performance boost over ext2, but probably not because it's performance benefit is designed to make up for mechanical harddisk with seeking delays - not a problem for flash storage. And only when journaling is enabled. And journaling will trash the microsd very quickly.

    Also, write speed on ext2 filesystems is always faster than ext3 and 4 (sequential write - but again, since Flash storage has a near-zero seek time, random-write is nearly the same speed).

    Thank you for reading :)
