Hi all,
For starters I would like to apologize for not being able to post screen shots in my post but my post couldn't isn't high enough yet...
I installed the leaked version of 4.2.1 for the GT-I9300 SIII yesterday and noticed the appearance of a shadowy dark bar at the top of the home screen.
It's particularly apparent on the Jelly Bean "panoramic" view as it ends 3/4 of the way along the top of the screen.
The more you go in to the 4.2.1 been fling screen the darker the bar gets.
It's not always visible on the lock screen depending on the choice of
I have been looking around for a way to resolve this and have found some topics like this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716820
But nothing that has helped me to get rid of it.
Any help would be very much appreciated.......
PS I'm still quite new to this so please dumb it down a little (not too much don't be going thinking I'm an idiot ) so my tired brain can grasp what I'm supposed to do
I only noticed it on mine after changing the dpi...havent switched back to check if it was the case for sure tho.

Known issue with the leaked ROM. We've to live with it till another leak, at least. That's the fun of it.
It intensifies if you reboot your phone till it is a dark band. One way of 'resetting' it back to its initial shadow is to change the wallpaper and back to your wallpaper.
Those who understand that this is a leak, will not complain about the bugs. Good things are afoot. And the ride will be worth it, I reckon. :thumbup:

Thanks dude. Really appreciate the answer. It is something I can live with to be honest.

Have you noticed anything with regards to battery life with this leak?

You mean because eventually your whole screen goes dark or is it restricted to the top?

I found something...if you apply a live wallpaper and then your wallpaper, it seems to reset the dark shadow, if not eliminate it. I did this yesterday and the dark band does not seem to have intensified much after 24 hours, as it was wont to do earlier.
Interesting that the shadow does not show up in live wallpapers...
Thanks dude. Worked for me too

I suddenly have on my Samsung galaxy s3 screen a type of white lines shadow/reflection from the left side across to the right, it hazes up the screen a bit and don't know how to get rid of it. It looks a bit like white rays of the sun except that I am inside and there are no rays of sun light coming in.

I am sure I have read posts re Alien and theme not working but cant find them.
Alien works great for me except that I cant get the theme to install (launch). Actually I run the installer form CWM and finishes OK (last version of CWM). I go by the rules. Unlocked, rooted, depeleated battery and recharging 100 %, install Alien, and reboot before the install the theme, clear data/factory defaults before starting everithing, use the Wipe Installer.... what else.. what can I do.. upon installing and rebooting it goes to the HOME launcher, not even the stock Gingerblur, so I have to get rid of that pice of crap
I swithed to Alien from Ronaldo´s ROM, wich is very straightforward and based on Kenn´s and also uses Alien script installer, so I don't have the slightest idea as to what I am doing wrong, missing, or if I am through a bug,
I would appreciate some good soul to help me.
Cheers !!

meaning what you're asking for is old, no longer supported. meaning no one is maintaining it. its a gb based thing. most ppl have moved to ics/jb since its getting closer and closer to being stable. cut your losses and move on in this case means give up on it and find something else. not trying to boss you around with that statement, just saying it as it is

Okay so today, for some strange reason my phone has decided to give me a fairly thick, red outline/boarder around my screen every time I touch it. It also flashes up randomly without touching the screen. It's starting to get on my nerves now.
Any ideas on how to fix please?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
What rom are you running? Any of the ICS leaks or official samsung roms?
Could be one of the developer options, There was an option I found which flashes the screen and shows touch and screen update data. Check under there. Settings--> developer options.
Other than that it could be a faulty connection to the screen.

Yeah ics roms have that. It is in the developer options but I can't remember which option it was. Maybe Google will help. Just remember to reboot for it to take effect I think.

What it sounds like it the dev option mentioned in the title got turned on, possibly while you were checking things out. Dont know what it means but I actually turned mine on just to check it. It is definitely in the developer options. Hope this helps
Isit just me or is the brightness crap when using in daylight. I compared to my one x and y just seems dim at 100% even on a light cloudy day.

The only thing in your screen shots that kind of jumps out at me is your wlan_rx wakelock at like 27m..though I don't think that's totally unreasonable given the 12h of standby time you have there... As others have said, you're gonna need to provide some addtional info. Posting the alarms page from BBS might help point us in a good direction as well...

The op stated his phone was off and using lots of resources. Which wouldn't make sense if it was powered OFF. But it wasn't. He meant the screen wasnt on. It was my attempt at humor. Which failed apparently. Lol

Hey Guys,
I decided it was time to just move to JB so I backed up what I wanted and moved to AOKP JB with Siyah kernel. Its working great (except for
Chrome) and I'm having much better battery life and my Android OS isn't going crazy anymore. I really appreciate the replies. But, as a FYI, I was running AOKP ICS with Fluxxi kernel (latest everything). Sorry for not getting back to you guys soo quickly, had trouble with family!
