[FAQ] NovaGen General FAQ - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

This is the official FAQ for NovaGen, a custom ROM based around Vanilla Rootbox. Basically, if you have a question and you wanna post about it, chances are it was either already answered in this FAQ or will be added soon.
General disclaimer blah blah you get it:

GENERAL QUESTIONS/INFO
Q: What exactly is NovaGen?
A: Novagen is (I literally take this from the main project page) "the Android custom ROM combining the best of open source Android". To put this into more advanced terms, NovaGen is a ROM developed to contain everything you need and nothing you don't. It takes the general parts of each of the major ROM bases out there (AOKP, CM, and AOSPA) and adds a bit of a montuori twist, with features such as adding custom settings, the latest Linux kernel from kernel.org, and both the ROM and kernel compiled with Linaro Toolkit.
Q: Sounds promising. Where can I get this?
A: The general thread for the ROM is located here. Although, chances are you probably got to this FAQ from that thread :laugh:
Q: Does this ROM have (insert feature here)?
A: If it's in Vanilla Rootbox, it's in this ROM. The main features are right there in the parent thread.
Q: How come I can't switch into vibrate mode via the rocker?
A: Until there is a fix, by default, this ROM makes you control media volume with the rocker. You need to go into Novagen Settings and toggle the checkbox for Media Control to make it work as normal. (thank you, drinferoo!)
MORE "UNDER THE HOOD" QUESTIONS
Q: Is it stable/how stable is it?
A: Short answer: we don't know. The ROM only has a single dev at this point, and so far there's a lot of bugs that need to be beaten out, and the ROM is indeed a BETA ROM, so don't expect perfect stability at this point.
Q: How do I flash this/is there any special flashing methods?
A: Like how you flash any ROM. If you don't know how to do this, I recommend reading up on the millions of guides already written on how to flash a custom ROM and root and all that. If you're not too sure exactly how, there's a big ol' guide right on the first post in the parent thread.
Q: Help me, I am having (insert problem here) or (insert random reboot related rant here)!!
A: Having an issue? Report it properly.
If you have a bug to report, make sure you also supply us with:
Screenshots, if necessary
Your device's respective /proc/last_ksmg
A logcat (if you don't know how to do this, a tutorial is here)
A bug report (PM mmontuori for his email to email the bug report)
As well as any other information you have. Also, how to reproduce the issue, which will make montuori's life a million times easier, as well as basic information of your device (custom kernel or not and system-based things, such as custom system apps or build.prop edits)

Reserving just in case

Awesome job dev
EDIT: Figured out how to disable notification bar using Paranoid settings. I needed to click on the title "ParanoidAndroid Settings' to go into Tools and reset preferences there. Thanks.
This ROM is pretty awesome. :good: Have been running this for some time and is very stable with good battery life.
After selecting Stock UI and PA Colors in Paranoid settings, my phone is showing a notification bar and I am not able to disable it. I have checked all settings and tried restarting too.
Am I missing something?
Also, does the ROM support Sandisk's 32 GB sdxc card? I did not have much luck with the sdxc card. I tried formatting to FAT32 using multiple methods suggested but none of them worked for me. I can use the same card without any problem on a much older HTC wildfire.
Other than these, ROM is really awesome. Great work mmontouri :highfive::highfive:

Whats the difference between this and PAC? I was considering flashing one of them once a solid, stable release was out.

I'm pleased to present my MoDaCo Custom ROM for the Samsung Galaxy S! READ THIS WHOLE POST BEFORE YOU START! No, really, it contains everything you need to know. wink.gif
This ROM is the 'starting point' for my Galaxy S custom ROMs.
About MoDaCo Custom ROMs
MoDaCo Custom ROMs are based on official ROMs - either shipping or leaked. A MCR release is designed to feel as far as possible like a stock ROM, with optimisations, tweaks and complimentary additions that enhance the user experience. The aim of a MCR is to be ultra reliable for use on an everyday device.
Requirements
In order to use this ROM on your device, YOU MUST ALREADY BE RUNNING THE JFB ROM FROM HERE. Do NOT use this ROM with any other base, unpredictable things will happen, the most likely being you'll have to reflash your device via Odin.
Features Included
* Based on the JFB release
* Rooted with Superuser 2.1 by ChainsDD
* Built with the MCR build process which reduces the size and boosts the speed of the ROM
* busybox with Droid Explorer support
* Updated Google Maps
* MCR version displayed in 'About' screen
* Optional Google Voice Search
* Optional Google Voice Dialer
* Optional Fancy Widget
* Optional Beebplayer
* Optional baked in Wavesecure via the online kitchen (installed to system partition for maximum security)
Changelog
Please see 2 posts below this one for the changes in each release.
Installation
To install this ROM:
* Ensure you have the JFB ROM installed (linked above)
* Download the zip file of your choice from the links below (or the online kitchen) and copy to your SD card named 'update.zip'
* Restart your device in recovery mode by running 'adb reboot recovery' (download adb if you do not have it already, use adb-windows, adb-mac or adb-linux as appropriate)
* Select the option to apply an update zip, and select the zip file you copied to your memory card
Upgrading
No wipe is explicitly required in order to use this ROM, however if you do encounter issues of any kind, it is recommended that you wipe your device and reproduce the issue before raising it here.
Downloads
This ROM is currently only available in the online kitchen - prebakes to follow.
Thanks
It's impossible to mention everyone who contributes to the Android community by name, but to everyone out there who does great work and shares it with us all - you have my gratitude and respect.
And finally...
If you would like to show your appreciation for the ROM, please consider supporting MoDaCo by signing up for a MoDaCo Ad Free or MoDaCo Plus account, both of which also give you early access to Beta ROM releases and access to the the online kitchens.
Enjoy!

Does this ROM fix the ram issue so that all 512MB of ram is utilized?
Congrats on being the first custom rom here.
Congratulations! I don't have a phone yet but I am very pleased to see a custom rom already!
woohoo custom ROMs already. Guess I'll be getting myself the phone after all.
umm.. but in another thread people where saying that it wasn't gonna be possible because samsung encrypt their drivers etc. so this mean they did release they drivers? and there is gonna be alot of custom rooms for galaxy gravity?

No I said it would be near impossible to get roms from other sources like Sense roms or Froyo on because of the driver issue. I never said you would never see custom roms. The only roms you are going to see are one's based off of Samsungs release.
Hold on, hold on. So even though Samsung released the Galaxy S' driver source code to the public, it's going to be "near impossible" to port Sense and FroYo to the phone? I may be ignorant but I'll just ask with ignorance, how do you figure?

Download the source code..... ok now open it and go to GalaxyS_Kernel.tar.gz. Now in there just enter the first folder then go to modules. Go to Dpram. Open up any of those files in notepad. You should see written non-compiled code right? That is fine now go back to the module folders and go to S3cbc. Now open up s3cbc_module.o. Does that look like non-compiled code? No it doesn't. It's either already compiled or encrypted. That's what I mean

Quick question, does that mean any custom rom that is release will be based off the official rom they release which has Touchwiz backed in? If so, does that rule out a plain vanilla android rom for this device? Thanks for your help and appreciate the knowledge.

No it doesn't rule out plain vanilla android rom. Yes they will all be based on Samsung but rom makers can take out all the touchwiz garbage and throw in another launcher like adw or Launcherpro.
That's what I wanted to hear. Thanks for the help. Now if I only could decide if I should keep the Nexus One or purchase this phone..... Decisions, Decisions.

So they can easily be decompiled? If it's source code why is it already compiled?
dont go too deep into specific things that we may not even need (we are not coders here) but the source code for basic hardware that we need to get things going are already there.. things like camera, wlan, etc. btw, do u know what s3cbc is for?

What about s3clcd? Here is a little copy and paste of some of the garble that was in the compiled file
screen width=%d height=%d va=0x%x pa=0x%x
I would go out on a limb and say those are video drivers. The one's that have been encrypted on all other samsung phones.
Also in s3cbc there is some code at the bottom
PVRSRV_PIXEL_FORMAT_YUY2 PVRSRV_ERROR_FIFO_SPACE char ui32ByteStride psDevInfo PVRSRV_PIXEL_FORMAT_PAL1 PVRSRV_PIXEL_FORMAT_PAL2 pfnOpenBCDevic
If you don't know the Galaxy's gpu is PowerVR SGX540 and YUY2 is a colol format for video screens
http://www.fourcc.org/yuv.php#YUY2 and Pal is of course a European video standard.
they are not encrypted, they are object codes in machine language for arm.. and why we need that again for custom roms?
Wanted to test modaco ROM but they are not free.. Any kind souls upload and share ?
well feedback on the R1 rom its clean and smooth, worked even better when i did the stall tweak posted here

How much free ram have you got? Considering flashing and rooting, but not sure if it's worth it right now. Meh 10£ isn't that much think I'm gonna give it a try.
EDIT: Just flashed, but now I don't have root access(says access denied when I try to access the /data/data folder). Thought this included the rooted PDA file or do I have to flash that again with odin?
EDIT2: Scratch that I forgot to press the allow-button on my phone after sending the Super-user request..

First impression:
- Feels slower then nightly 188 with Flykernel-12 pre1, So i installed Flykernel-12 Pre1 back and noticed right away the little speed improvement over the stock kernel that comes with CM 6.1.0 stable
- When turning on GPS in house, (WiFi already on) Data connection pops up alongside the WiFi (is this normal?, never noticed it this doing with the nightly)
I just installed but now when connected via USB cable the phone is no longer being recognized by may laptop The phone as well does not come up with a notification, yet is starts charging?!
anyone...suggestions?
Perfect. I'm testing battery Life.
Waiting for themes cause i don't like the white bar

Finally we have a stable version of the best rom around here. New life for our heroes.
Already downloaded this at cyanogen not tried the nightly roms, but have used RC version, looks good
Will give this a shot, coming from RC1, Fly kernel 11c...tell ya if its faster
Go Cyanogen!!
What kernel does this ROM use? Is it based on... FlyKernel or some other kernel from a rom on XDA. Or is this CM's own work?
If the kernel isn't great, is it possible to replace it with something nice like FlyKernel?

correct me somebody if I'm wrong but it is highly recommended to flash flykernel right after you flash the ROM... at least I do it this way and then linpack shows nicer numbers )
CM6.1 flashes it's own kernel, and it is slower, so after the test i flashed Flykernel-12 Pre1 and this is way faster.
seems i cannot connect to WiFi using this bad boy...anyone else suffering this?
to upgrade my rc1 to this one, I just make a nandroid backup and i directly flash the 6.1.0 ? or I've to make a wipe etc...?
thanks
so is this rom working solid or is it slow?

Exchange
Is Exchange sync working in this? Only reason that has prevented me from using the earlier version(s)
UPDATE: Yes, Exchange sync works!
Works just fine for me
Sent from my HTC Hero
Know of any themes that can be used with this? I tried the HTC Black that was referred on the [COLLECTION] thread under Hero GSM General, but it did NOT work - I had to revert to a Nand backup to get things back to normal! However the white standard android is a bit grating on my eyes. If anyone knows of good themes that work with this please let me know! Thanks!

kernel?
What kernel is included in this ROM? Is it in any way overclocked? Should it be replaced with the venerable FlyKernel? Or is it a perfectly optimised Gingerbread kernel that should be left well alone?
Kernel recommendations for this ROM would be extremely appreciated
Also, big props to everyone who's worked on this! I'm extremely grateful that my auld Hero's still supported.

There are quite a few bugs at it :-/ I got no clue why exactly it is declared as stable for the Hero device

No I can not find it on market, because of the country I think :/
The nightly's where more stable then this stable release :/
It seems fair stable. Just really slow and animations seem to drag.
Imah give it a miss. Had it running for 2/3 hours and I've gone back to villan13 just for the pure speed of it.
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App
There are quite a few bugs actually. Although I'm finding performance to be very good, it often crashes (screen just stays black) when transitioning between screens.
Often dialog boxes don't show up – the screen will dim but the dialog won't appear.
I'm going to perservere for a while though. I really like CyanogenMod ROMs – stock Android, but nicely tweaked. Since the Froyo builds haven't been updated in ages, this is probably worth sticking with, especially if a point release can come soon that fixes some of the little bugs.
Aw man, it's sad to hear that none of the bugfixes we desperately needed appear to be in this release. Hopefully they'll be sorted out in due time, though.
How many people with the invisible menus bug are using compcache?
I turned it onto 18%, and had the bug something rotten. No notification bar menu thing, no apps list in ADW, settings menu broke. I managed to long press home back into the performance menu, turned off compcache, reboot and not one invisible menu since.
With regards to speed, it was terribly slow, so I downloaded and ran the script floating round xda to put the I/O scheduler into noop mode, downloaded SD increase from the market, set it to 2048kb, and just set moderate in autokiller, and everything is smooth now at 576/19mhz.
Possibly the worst hero rom I've used.
unable to scroll in some pop up menus.
black screens randomly.
slow slow performance.
What happened? I've been on cronos for a while, but had a nightly about number 20 and that was fine. To credit a developer with being in charge of the hero section and to release this rubbish as a stable rom, with the standard the cyanogen team seem to set themselves is an embarrassment to all their previous work.
Agreed, this should not have been released as stable for the Hero. For those looking for a stable Gingerbread ROM you would be better off trying Cronos Ginger, or Elelinux's GB ROM (although I haven't tried that one).
First I red post title and got very excited, then I red your posts and now I feel like sticking still with stock sense lol.
the invisible menu bug rears its ugly head once again. is it a hero specific problem or is it a gingerbread specific issue?
I like it very much!!!
Using this ROM still early beta, compiled from sources. Not a perfect one because of some bug (coming from AOSP) but very usable. Another point: this is the only ROM with FULL sources code available, so it is easily customizable.

I'm not associated with Cyanogenmod at all and most definitely not on their paylist. Just a hobbyist.
Download:
http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=trltexx
How to Install
* For 910F: Use TWRP for trltexx: http://www.techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/trltexx
* For 910G: Use TRWPR for trltedt: http://www.techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/trltedt
(I suggest to download the .img and flash that recovery image with the tool 'flashify' )
After that, flash the Gapps of your choice BUT MAKE SURE THEY ARE LOLLIPOP GAPPS !! And make sure the version is compatible with the Android version of the ROM (current version: Android 5.1.1)
If you come from Touchwiz, make sure to do a factory reset and wipe Dalvik cache.
The ROM is rooted already ! You just need to enable it, which can be done in the developer options. If you don't know how to see developer options: http://www.greenbot.com/article/245...-options-on-your-android-phone-or-tablet.html
Again, this is very important: it is rooted already DO NOT ROOT IT YOURSELF !!! If you re-root the ROM with for example chainfire, you can expect all kinds of issue's and problems.
Changelog:
http://www.cmxlog.com/12.1/trltexx/
FAQ:
Q: Help I can't install it, my recovery says "this is for trltexx but you are on trlte".
A: Use the correct recovery like pointed out above
Q: Do I need to factory reset/wipe everything when I flash a new nightly ?
A: If you were previously on CM12 I think you should be fine. However I suggest to always wipe cache and dalvik cache, if you only wipe the cache you ensure the system is not using old
stuff. If you however are experiencing problems that no one else seems to experience, a full factory reset might be an idea.
Q: Should I flash gapps every time I flash a new nightly ?
A: No, only the first time you need to flash gapps.
Q: Does this work for 910C, 910U, 910T or whatever other variant ?
A: No. This ROM is only for 910F and 910G. Some other Snapdragons like the 910T have a ROM out, but check those forums. Exynos users like 910C are still out of luck although someone is working on a very early alpha ROM for it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/orig-development/n910c-cyanogenmod-12-sources-t3015717
Q: I want a cooler device (or more performance).
A: You can lower the throttle temp (cooler device) or increase it (more performance) with for example Faux clock or with this free app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grarak.kerneladiutor
Q: Help my phone wont go into deepsleep.
A: This could be anything. To find out what's keeping your phone awake I wrote this small tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59378043&postcount=330
Q: My phone sleeps well but still is draining too much battery
A: In your wifi settings in the top right corner you can pull down a menu. Click advanced and mare sure you have 'scanning always available' disabled. And then there are the usual things like in settings/accounts disable syncing for your accounts, don't enable any hardware features you don't use etc.
Q: Can I use a custom kernel with CM12 ?
A: Some might work. However we optimize things in the CM12 kernel specifically for CM12, so flashing a custom kernel might cause problems. So if you are on a custom kernel and reporting a problem with CM12, at least ALWAYS report that you've flashed a custom kernel when posting about some problem you are experiencing !
Q: Does the S-pen work ?
A: Yes, the S-pen works right out of the box on Cm12, including hovering. If you're a heavy s-pen user and want functionality like for example making a cropped screenshot (just like in Touchwiz) you can enable that with a 3rd party app like: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/app-app-samsung-devices-provided-stylus-t3000448
Q: Can I control display parameters like Contrast and Saturation ?
A: Yes our kernel supports this app to do that: http://downloads.codefi.re/savoca/kcal/re.codefi.savoca.kcal-v1.2.apk
Q: Can I set change the display modes, like in Touchwiz ?
A: Yes I wrote an app for that, MDNIE tuner: https://mega.co.nz/#!uFwCAT7Z!qFzF9_2ZsJ-pHCNq8VLAD1PIiEFD9sKtLtWrazdQt5I
Q: How can I do 60/120 hz video recording ?
A: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61059360&postcount=2285
Q: What bootloader and/or modem should I be on ?
A: For 910F:Since the kernel is currently based on BOB4, I'd suggest to have both the bootloader and modem BOB4 too. You can download flashable odin files for those 2 here:
modem: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=26347
bootloader: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=26346
For 910G: Dont know exactly, probably a bootloader from december would be best.
*Known issue's:
* Google camera sometimes doenst close correctly on CM12-1 and then will yield a 'cant connect to camera', I'd suggest not to use Google camera. All other cam apps work fine.
* LTE can lose connection in some countries (Finland ?)
CM12 Known issue's (not specific to the note 4)
* Ringtones only work from internal SD card (not external sd card)
* Hardware encryption not functionally
* Fingerprint sensor not integrated just yet.
A special thank you to @slayher and @fattire, who not only were the pioneers for CM12 on the Note 4 but also helped me out countless times with problems I've ran into, both with the code and with GIT. Without their work and help we would be nowhere.
Enjoy !

Nice one gekkenhekie you deserved this thread the amount of Man hours you've put it. Flashing this bad boy now, cheers mate
Since gekkehenkie11 is not accepting any donations I would like to thank you very much for your awesome and hard work.
My post doesn't add anything to this thread but I just wanted to say thanks.
Tried to flash but got an error within TWRP, running a 910F.
Performed a full wipe, installed from internal memory, have just installed another CM based rom and all is well ?
Could be a bad download, i'll re-attempt, am I right in thinking that the first line doesn't need to be edited if you're running a 910F ?
Cheers.

Description
TDH-JR is a stock derived ROM that is extremely debloated, deodexed and comes with a highly stable, tunable and fast kernel (@tdhite Skyhigh). This ROM is not for those seeking a lot of UI tweaks, mods or otherwise. If you want that, go get BiggDaddy or similar. This ROM is about sticking as close as possible to stock less the bloat, though also extremely battery efficient, fast, clean and highly stable.

You can find Screenshot images in the Screenshots Tab.

How to Install
READ THE DISCLAIMER BEFORE INSTALLING!
Assure you are on the appropriately similar firmware (see Previous Releases above for the correct firmware for prior releases of this ROM).
Make a backup of your existing rom (TWRP nandroid is best)
Backup apps as desired (e.g., via Titanium Backup)
Place the ROM flashable downloaded from the link(s) above in internal storage (e.g., /sdcard)
Boot into TWRP Recovery
Wipe Cache, Dalvik in all cases, Data if you are not dirty flashing.
Dirty flashing coming from pure stock may work, but no promises
Dirty flashing over a previous, clean install of this ROM should work fine
Flash (i.e., Install in TWRP) the ROM flashable zip
Reboot (to System)
Enjoy!
Dirty Flashing
Generally dirty flashing over stock setups should work fine, losing no settings. To do so:
Upgrade to corresponding Firmware version (e.g., QF1) in Odin (or if you already have, no need);
Copy the downloaded zip flashable to somewere in /sdcard (let's just presume that dir for now);
Load TWRP Recovery;
Backup your existing Stock QA2 ROM;
Wipe Dalvik, Cache, System (Data optionally);
Install this ROM from where you copied it (e.g., /sdcard/TDH-JR-G920P-QA2.zip);
Reboot to System -- it will take a good long time (and likely at least one reboot), just hang with it;
Once up, if you did not use the 'Briefing' Page in your UI, just turn it of again -- upgrades generally turn it back on;
Enjoy.
After installing this ROM, the initial boot will take many minutes and will likely reboot at least once during its initial setup sequence. Many operations are taking place (e.g., Dalvik regeneration, Synapse support setup, etc.).

any increase in SOT ?

There is one thing, and one thing only that dominates SOT with screens like on the S6. Reduced brightness.
For the rest, such as CPU usage diffs between screen off and on, voltages, core stuffing, hotplugging, and all the rest, yes, that is all covered for max SOT (mostly due to the kernel).

Thanks @tdhite I'm downloading ATM, I'll report back after the installation. :good:
Please provide stock kernel as a flashabe zip for those who want to use stock kernel.
May give this one a go tomorrow. I've been on stock rooted for awhile now.

My Skyhigh port is the stock kernel as its base with relevant (and many) commits on top to provide tuning access and additional features necessary to have rock solid, fast and efficient operations. The use of stock kernel in this scenario is not really in my plans for this ROM, but thanks for the suggestion none the less. The main reason for that is really about battery and efficiency, the stock kernel is simply too unsophisticated in certain areas due to it being quite a bit behind the standard Linux commits.
:good:
how can I use this rom if I'm on G920PVPU3CPF4, I bought another s6, its a sprint and unlocked getting ready to root this one and install TWRP, id really like to use this rom.

Can you please tell me how to tune this kernel to boot faster because mine is taking 1 minute and 25 seconds to boot.

Whatever recovery you are using is suggesting you do *not* have a Sprint Galaxy S6. Your best bet is post the output of "getprop" in your recovery so we can determine what you actually have.

There are no tunings for speeding up the operations taking place. I does take a bit, understood. Much of the time is involved in setting up (injecting) SELinux policy properly, checking/fixing telephony databases for hotspot fix, running various processes for optimizations (cortexbrain, setting up crond, etc.). If you compute the percentage of uptime between boot and overall use, it is (normally, anyway) much, much, much less than even 0.1% of the time.

Not quite sure what you want me to get out of that image?
Sorry for my mistake. I used wrong TWRP. I install success now. Just don't have mobile data toggle and sometimes Samsung DM service and System Update show in status bar. It's so annoying.
Unable to get Bluetooth to work. Will not find anything.
Thanks
Good lightweight ROM but I cant set my lockscreen wallpaper because the wallpaper app has been removed..

Hmm. I use all sorts of Bluetooth devices, including my car. Please send a catlog while trying to scan. Also, what other mods did you add (e.g., Xposed, et al).

I just shared this for those who was asking about battery life.
Update: Got it !!! ?
? I went ahead and started different version of TWRP to get that error go away and it actually stuck this time with no seandroid error, soon as it loaded I went in the TWRP I wiped my delvik and cache at the same time first then I did data all by itself and just in case I got the error again I left system alone I took a chance because I really didn't want to Flash over the bloated stock but I took a chance with it and it worked and it stuck like glue, yeaaaaa
