This is my first smartphone. Maybe is just me, but I think V10B is better by power drain and speed.

Currently I am on "stock" V10B + root + clocworkmod + Nova1 kernel + antonio1475's Gingerbread statusbar. In this configuration, it seems that battery life is decreased compared with simple V10B, but now I'm happy enough with it. but... again, ...maybe is just me.

That'll be my next step.

A recovery with ext4 support and working ADB.
I could really do it faster if only xantaro and unclecracker gave me their recovery source (I'm too lazy to set up the BoardConfig).

That really sounds amazing. Is there anything we can do about the recovery source, or you will ask them?

And thanks for the framework, I really might use it.

I guess you are talking about Gingerbread theme framework. At the moment is only the statusbar and notification area, because that's what the two guys asked for, and I haven't updated it with the full environment (popups, buttons, etc) because I'm not using it and I'm away from home. But if you ask, I will make the full Gingerbread UI framework when I get back home (in 4 days or so).

By the way, do you guys think V10B is better than V10A?

Right now I'm using Pays-ROM (until I can make nandroid backups again, although I think I should be able to do it now with this ROM, but I cannot). I already lost my NOVA v1 because couldn't do backup before testing Pays-ROM. I will wait for the new recovery with ext4 support

With experimental NOVA kernel (Wifi didn't work coming from NOVA, so...). Pays ROM is based in 10B, and the screen response is really better (in nova was already good, but now it's better), and battery seems to last a bit longer.

Nova v2 is already 80% done.
Later on tonight I'll take a look at recovery.

Thanks for the recovery, in advance ;-)

There cant be enough code-sharing - maybe you could help out someone who will port cyanogenmod...

And about the original roms - V10A is really bad, V10B may be slightly better, but V10C compared to the first drafts is really - OK. Not more. Accu life is better, lags are much better (means gone - if you use another launcher - GO Launcher recommended).

With V10B you'll miss calls - no notifications sometimes :-( (called myself to prove it - caller hears "ringtone" but phone is silent)

Again - Thanks for your work!

80% that was fast dude... can't wait for your beta. btw with 1900+ quadrant score should i expect major performance improvement? which did you tweak most? I/O, cpu, mem or graphics (based on quadrant test) ? imo I/O performance was good enough with your custom kernel.

V11B is also good.altough i didnt see too many ppl using it or talking about it. maybe the devs will consider looking at it before they decide

because 11 series are all carrier/branded type... not compatible with many regions. like Nova v1 is using 10a branded, some users reported they have difficulty for setting up APN, dunno 'cause i did not have a prob with that. maybe noejn can explain.

Well it was easy to set up the device config so I already have CWM 4.x working but:

1. I set up the UMS path but usb mount still doesn't work.
2. I confirmed adb service is starting and should be working but it does not.
3. After all ext4 support isn't just editing the recovery.fstab.

Since I'm new to recoveries and I don't have much time to dwell on this, I'll postpone it.

I'll try to finish Nova v2 today or tomorrow since I'm going for some days off (mini-vacations) already this week.

But does your recovery do what the 3.2 did + ext4 support for backup? If so, you could publish it so we can make backups for testing NOVA 2. If recovery is stable, of course (adb and usb didn't work neither, so it's already an improvement).

Waiting for NOVA 2!

knzo · Jul 25, 2011

Nope, it does the same.
Except it's CWM v4 and not v3.

sr742 · Jul 25, 2011

can't wait for nova V2
hope the unresponsive lcd is solved..

thanks for your work noejn

knzo · Jul 26, 2011

Tomorrow I'll release it.

I did many, many changes.
I just hope I didn't **** it up but hey, I don't expect it to work flawlessly at first.

Nah it's okay man. It was the first version... if I may to suggest, you should call it BETA first and give us a trial so we can tell you any bugs, take any feedback and make fixes. Release the beta fix until most of us satisfied and you can release the final version. It gives you more time and advantange to develop next one. Not like v1 some of users still complain even trashing (no offense). Just a suggestion man and I really like to buy you a beer or two as soon as possible after my card approved.

Thanx noejn for your hardwork.

woohoo! really grateful that you put effort on the p970! with this performance increase, will it be able to play higher definition video? e.g. 480p on youtube?

vmjoaquim · Jul 26, 2011

It works really nicely! Thanks alot! Somehow, My OB's battery life seemed to improve after flashing your rom.

Ipy219 · Jul 26, 2011

Tomorrow is today or is tomorrow? I get confused with the pm/am thing
