Hey, I`ve bought my GS2 as soon as it was launched and I have stock kernel. I`ve been thinking about upgrading the kernel for a long time, considering overall performance upgrade (specially battery)
Should I change the kernel? I`m using CM 10.1. Which kernel should I pick?
I also have some screen problems. My cellphone came with a bluish screen. It's easy to get used to, but I'm getting tired. The colors seem fake. I never found a solution for this problem. Does the kernel fix that?
Thanks in advance.

It works! Thanks.
But the screen problem wasn't solved yet. I tried the Screen Color options from ExTweaks, but didn't work either. After boot the screen colors go back to default. =/

"Bluish screen" sounds weird / broken. It normally looks blueish when turned off, but in use that shouldnt be the case.. maybe you can share a screenshot ?

Blue, red, green (presumably an app could also provide mixed colours).
bought it juz for fun.
pleasantly surprised by the functions it offers.
a good buy definitely. doesnt cost a kidney too.
on my s3 when lightflow is on it activates talk back function when choosing home screen page. and talk back and driving mode are off :S
Yep - thats a bug (not with Lightflow) but elsewhere as this also happens with other apps that require Accessibility function.
Requires root or not?

I cannot seem to get it to work at all? Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Did you guys need to use direct mode?
Root isn't required.
Yes talk back is an android bug in ics that Google seem happy to ignore. Their support even blame the app devs such as ourselves (and the tasker devs) for the issue but will not reply once you challenge them. It's really frustrating!
I hope to get an s3 over the next week or so to see if there are any extra things I van hook into that Samsung have added to ics.
I have one person with the lte version of the phone and it seems that that doesn't work so well as all the colors are messed up. I hope it's a pre production bug.
New version of the app due soon with quite a few additions.

You need select the function from accessability. Untick led functions within settings and that's it. Let me know of that works.
I think the talkback issue is more of a touchwiz issue, as if you change the launcher to Apex there is no problem
Also i have totally removed talkback from my device... And i still habe the same issue.. So im quite sure what else to try

Had the same problem and had to do a factory reset.
Well I managed to pick up and S3 for development.
I've been playing around with the tackback issue. What is working for me at the moment is going into accessibility. Switching "ON" talkback. Then pressing the "settings button at the bottom".
Uncheck every checkbox in the settings.
Then switch talkback OFF again.
Could anyone else see if this helps for them?
New version of lightflow due very soon, just fixing up a few last bits for the s3 with the new version.

Tried the above still have the talkback bug only but it only seems to be touchwiz related i.e when I open folders on a homescreen or go into the homescreen manager. Seems that the bug appeared after I enabled tasker under accessibility settings.
pulsing led
If you turn on or off your s3, you can see the led actually pulsing blue and greenish... I wonder if an app could make the led pulse in the same way for notifications...
Hi!
I'm using a recent CM9 nightly with default kernel.
I would like to have your opinion : about 3/4 a week my SGS3 is "stuck" when it's locked : impossible to wake up using home or power button, the screen stays black.
The weird thing is that when it happens, the phone is not frozen : I can still hear music on the headphones and control volume using Up/Down buttons.
Sometimes I let it stuck and receive a notification some minutes later and the phone magically can be unlocked again, screen wakes when I push Home button.
Very weird and annoying when that happens.
My question is : what do you think it could be? An app? How can I debug this and know what prevents the screen to wake up when that happens?
Thanks.
Wipe and reflash the rom

Thanks, but is that the kind of easy answer you all tell when you don't know the exact answer?
When I installed CM9 a week ago, I did do a full wipe...
I think that next time it happens, I will try to connect my SGS3 on USB and do a adb logcat, maybe I'll find useful information.
Have you tinkered with any of the could settings or voltage settings?

Having a similar problem to yourself. Installed CM9 rom had a play and then went back to omegaV9 performing a full wipe using the instructions on this site before reflashing.
Since then when my phone is locked screen off then i unlock either via swipe or using security code (digits ) it looks like the phone unlocks but sort of does a warm boot with black screen for a few seconds with the two buttons down the bottom light up.
When it starts it looks like all the apps have stopped and are restarting again.
I re flashed again omega 9 thought i had it sorted but it started playing up again this evening.
If anyone has any ideas please post..
Hi, I'm a newbie here. I also exprience this problem with my samsung GT-i9300. I hoping to see a fix with this problem.
This forum has been so helpful to new android users. Thank you guys.
when you select an email in the email app, it highlights it but overlapps the top part, as in the screenshot? it happens in the gallery app too when selecting a picture.
Confirmed to be in 2.7 too. But I'm not sure if it's just a feature/theme-thing or not.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
yeah wasnt sure if it was a design feature or not but it looks untidy
Just to add that Ive played about with dpi. default is 240. ive tried going higher and lower than that. still the same result.
Lockscreen issue
Whenever I unlock my phone, I press the power button and the screen will flash for a second as if it was unlocked, then it will go to the lockscreen. I don't know if it makes a difference, but the same happens when I press the home button to unlock the phone.
Has anyone experienced that and / or would know how to fix it?

I see this on my phone too when I had RR 3.0.9. Quite possibly a bug?
Hey guys, was just reading about the sudden death issue on our phone when i pulled mine out and was aghast to see that all the colors were inverted across all parts of the screen (no matter what app i used)
I did a reboot and it sprung back to normal like nothing happened. phones never been dropped.
What mightve happened?
16gb sgs3
omega rom v34 siyah kernel
Nova Launcher Prime
my emmc revision is vulnerable if that is relevant
you pressed your home button 4 times ..... try it now the same will happen
Under settings find Accessibility and under that is "Negative colors" that you probably switched on

Thank you for your suggestion! This solved my problem. I thought I already needed to replace my phone. Cheers!
EDIT:I fixed it! turns out it was a hardware problem which occured after i replaced the screen. It was fixed by following instructions on this youtube video,called "How to Fix Proximity Sensor Issue for Samsung Galaxy S3, S4, or Note 2" ( i can't link right now because I'm new, so just look it up on youtube.) so if anyone encounters the same problem hope this video will help!
Hey guys. New to the forum I tried to do a bit of searching but couldn't really find an answer.
So I have two questions/problems I guess.
First off when I go into a call, sometimes the phone screen goes black as soon as I start the call, and won't turn back on until I hang up using the power button. From what I understand it's due to the proximity sensor always being on? But I have not been able to find a solution to this.
Secondly is, I've noticed with the lock screen notifications, when I ticked the option for wakescreen when receiving notifications, and when the screen is off, the proximity sensor is on. and when i untick the wake screen option, it goes off again.
I'm using Fusion-Boeffla Rom latest version as of now, 26-02-14 one. But this problem has been around when I was testing different roms such as temasek unofficial CM.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks in advance!
1- go to calls -> settings -> uncheck turn of screen during calls.

And its probably a kernel / rom issue
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
i can't click the link, but i've seen that option in stock samsung roms before, but i can't seem to find it on my rom. And you're right, its very likely its a rom/kernel issue, i may try a different rom or even stock to see if it helps =) thanks
