I'm running flyhalfs latest cm build and I'm getting screen flicker like crazy. I'm running crpalmers latest kernel and I have tried the stock kernel and it does the same thing. It won't do it for a few hours and then I'll turn my screen on and it will be flickering all around the edges . doesn't matter what brightness. Wondering of anyone has any ideas or if it's just a bug for now. Thanks.

Other people have been reporting the same thing. I think I read someone saying disabling hw overlays in developer options helped. For some reason I'm not having this problem on carbon... Running crpalmers latest

Yea I found that and tried it out didn't seem to make a difference. It's so weird it sometimes it won't flicker at all and then I'll pull my phone out of my pocket and it will be flickering big time for a couple hours and then be gone again.

add script on your build.prop (need root access) ;
hwui.render_dirty_regions=false
if that appeared, then change to :
debug.hwui.render_dirty_regions=false
No need to do that. This thread is from June and crpalmer has worked out the screen a flickering bug about a month or two ago.
And, for the record, the fix is in the current CM 10.2 and 11.0 but not 10.1. If someone is on 10.1, please update!

I have been running SHOstock 1.3 for about a week now and I've been getting this persistent issue. My phone tends to freeze for a couple of seconds usually on the lock screen. And maybe at times when I'm texting. I have reflashed multiple times, full wipe, cache wipe, etc. I have also tried reflashing the kernel it self with the kernel cleaner zip. Still no luck I give up on looking around I never usually ask questions. I love the ROM its great to use very fluid and fast. I came from AOKP and I think I made a mistake in doing so. I just need the freezing part to stop. If not I am going back. Thanks if anyone has an answer.

I don't have this problem. But one of the first things I did was disable help on lock screen under lockscreen settings. Report back on if it did anything for you.
Second. As always I Always move all of my apps that are on SD card to phone memory. This keeps the phone in its smooth state. (This may be your solution)
I assume you're running SHOstock3 1.3? There have been some issues reported with the lockscreen widgets and/or wifi - read the SHOstock3 thread and search for these keywords. Not sure if there is a fix, but I don't have any major problems using the lockscreen widgets/shortcuts with wifi. Maybe once in a while, but not often.

It's a known bug. I think Sho mentions in the v1.4 changelog that he [possibly] found a fix.
Yes, it seems we'll have a fix soon:
(v1.4) UPCOMING Soon
-Added Flashlight Toggle
-Added Black and Red INK Lockscreen Effect
-Edited powerprofile.xml for sgs2 (Was set up for sgs3) Also Disabled a bool setting for a notification LED widget we don't have. (both seem to have fixed the lockscreen hang)
-Added JellyBean AOSP Lockscreen Toggle

O no, 1.3.5
I've had all apps on phone storage as well as the lock screen help was disabled. I did over look my apps to make sure thanks for the response.

It's a bug with xxlsj. Mentioned all over this and the i9100 section. Just searching my thread would have yielded you results of this. I may have found something since I don't get it anymore but others claim it's kernel related so we'll see. Remember this is a leak.

Hello XDA. This ROM (rootbox 3.9.1) is supposed to be stable, but when I turn on flash or automatic flash and I touch to focus then shoot, the camera app lags and force closes (and doesn't take the picture). This is annoying in so many ways, and makes it virtually impossible for me to take pictures in low light. Please help me address this issue for it is killing me and I don't feel like downloading a whole new ROM, flashing it and reorganizing all my settings all over again just to fix this issue. I also had this issue with CM10.1 (but that was normal, cause it is a nightly).
Anybody else have this issue? And possibly a fix?
Thanks in advance.
Also: inb4 "search the official root box thread". I did, and nobody seems to have this issue.

As far as I know this issue was fixed a couple of days ago in the CM Nightlies so maybe the Vanilla Rootbox base hasn't been updated yet or you aren't using their latest update.

Didn't work. what version of this aosp camera are you using? And with what ROM? I got the latest version. And it still crashes.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Actually I've found a way to bypass this problem. If I turn on the volume key to take pictures function, autofocus with flash on and take the picture with the volume key, it doesn't crash. I guess I'll just have to live with it like this for now, oh well.
OK now how do I close this thread? Or there's no such thing? Can any mod or janitor or whatever help me out here? I'm new here

My friend has a weird problem on his SGS3 after I rooted it for him. I've tried installing AOKP and CarbonRom but the issue exists on both.
Whenever I open an app-picker list (ie when adding a widget or app to desktop) I get vertical screen tearing when scrolling. The tearing is pretty inconsistent because it doesn't happen all the time but in random intervals.
I've tried enabling and disabling vsync by editing build.prop but it didn't help. I've also enabled/disabled all the rendering related stuff in developer settings but nothing works.
There was no such issue in stock ROM. I've never had screen tearing problems even though I've rooted over ten different Android phones and tablets.
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing the issue?

Its a known issue in aosp and aokp ROMs. Install the latest temasek as it is patched to reduce the amount of tearing

Is the patch in the Temasek ROM or the kernel? I would like to keep the Linaro optimized CarbonRom and just flash the kernel if it works that way.
Holy crap... People are still worried about Linaro? You know its been proven to have no advantage over Google's tool chains. So don't worry about it.

Proven by who? Where? When? Interesting!
In Nexus 4 the difference between Linaro and Google toolchain is so obvious that Linaro dominates custom ROMs. I didn't see such a big difference in SGS3 so maybe I could go with Temasek. Tough the previous question is still unanswered: is the patch in the kernel or the ROM?

Well there are linaro tool chains for apps and kernels. Neither do much.

I am running the unofficial AOKP. 4.3. It has the option to disable the lights on the soft buttons, but it works for a second and just comes back on. Anyone know how to get rid of them? It's really annoying reading in the dark.

Depends on what ROM you are using.
PAC used to have this issue with devil kernel. The latest builds work, and the soft button lights don't go on.

Oh is that right? Because I am using Devil. Pac has become too bloated imo trying to stay away from it. Thanks for the help.
Yeah, pac has that same issue with 4.3.1 but it wasn't present in 4.3 so probably something changed that had to be fixed. But yes, pac no longer has that issue.

The 12/27 nightly was running along finely for a couple of hours, changing settings and such. It froze after i changed a ringtone and now itll freeze after every bootup and sometimes it wont wake up. Then it will freeze within 1 minute after unlocking the phone. I correctly wiped/flashed everything cm11 coming from cm10.2 with latest kk-gapps and the latest ktoonz kernel. any ideas?
any know?

Bump!
I'm facing the same issue with my Note 2 here. I flashed it using TWRP 2.7. Does anyone know if this makes a difference?
As CM 11 20140328 basically made my phone useless I wanted to switsch to Omnirom. As i did a full wipe and installed it, the phone crashed every few minutes. The display stood on though and pive wallpapers were still moving. So I went back to the latest CM 11 nightley and now my Phone keeps crashimg every few hours. But its just like with Omni. Display keeps on and stuff but I cant do anything. Im running Boeffla 2.2 kernelnand TWRP 2.7. I actualpy switched to TWRP because I thought it could help.
