Surface Flinger memory leak supposedly fixed! - Nexus 10 General

Matthew Fry posted the following here:
Ladies and gentlemen, I have the most amazing news. Pretty much the best news I can think of.
I have finally received word back from the Mali Developers. They revisited the issue and found that the fault was indeed in the Mali drivers.
"Following previous emails, the Nexus 10 issue that you have been mentioning has been fixed in the latest versions of the Mali driver."
It is, unfortunately, Google's responsibility to release this new driver version with the next Nexus 10 factory image. We can only hope that the fact that I/O has come and gone and the recent release of the Google Edition S4 and One on 4.2.2 does not mean that JB 4.3 or KLP are a long ways out.

So hopefully we'll see the drivers soon! They're supposed to be released here when ready!

I really hope they fix this issue. I turn off my tablet at night so its not a huge issue but on heavy usage days I'm guaranteed at least a reboot if not more.

Wow I am so happy. Good thing I didn't end up selling my tablet yet! Also seems like 4.3 is coming on July 24th, looking forward to it.

Oh thank god. That's my only gripe with this tablet.

That sounds great! however... not sure if that is something that is going to be included in Android 4.3, if it was recently released Google would have to make a lot of testing before put that in Android 4.3, maybe it was distributed to them before, will see next week..

I am hoping with all my heart that this is baked into 4.3. I cannot STAND this issue any longer.

I also can't wait to have a stable system that runs without fault for days, without having to reboot. I use a auto-reboot app that launches everyday at 7:10 AM just after my alarm, no biggie but if I watch some html videos...

Stupid Samsung. Ugh.
It was their mistake from the beginning. Idiots.
Not buying anything more from them for a while.

And how about doing something to fix the constant homepage redraw that I get. Now that is driving me mad.

Mention here first.
I think we have to hope it is going to be release as part of the 4.3 update. If the Mali update was from the 14th June then I think it will be included in the 4.3 update. If it is the 14th July then maybe we might not see it until 4.3.1 or KLP. Let's hope it makes it

If Google had done just a little bit of testing, we were not talking about this issue today. So I don't think they care about testing or quality. We are their lab mouses.

Use nova to fix that. That's what I have done. They have a option to keep in memory to prevent redraws.

He means install Nova launcher from playstore and use it as your default launcher. Also in advanced settings of Nova launcher there is an option for keeping the screens in memory to avoid redraws. You can enable it but I am not having any redraws even with having this option disabled. Just use Nova launcher.

I see the driver was released.
Is there a ROM/image built with it yet? I've been poking around and haven't had any luck.
Do we REALLY have to wait for Google?

It seems these are not complete source codes and in fact you need ddk - driver development kit - to build real drivers which is not available to devs. So I guess we should wait for Google.

ICS.......

So, I've been running the ICS leak from April on my original RAZR since the day it came out and I absolutely love it. I have also been reading all of the speculative posts about the" official" release to be available soon. I have 2 questions/concerns that I would love to hear some opinions.
1. What will the official release give me that the leak doesn't?
2. How do I back up all of my apps and progress on my games if I do decide to update?
Thanks in advance for your replies.

Yeah they "should" but it won't be like this. But i think that the ICS update will be mostly bug free.
And if they don't open up the bootloader they will partially fail by losing some customers..

Lol 84 is extremely nice. Better than 75 . Moto is really working on a full nice release. I can only guess 204 is better. The ota will have less bugs than 8r does and I haven't encountered any issues in 2 weeks of use. Ota will be very nice without a doubt
It will be bug free, or close. Leaked betas point this way. It may have bugs but will be really impressive SO. Probably much better andstable than actual gb.
Btw. I think you guys are too smart to believe in a 100% bug free system. Think you got it

Samsung launches firmware update for Galaxy S4 (APPS TO SD!!)

I looked and didnt see this info here in the forum so I figured I should post it. If it has already been posted I apologize. Anyway if not here it is. Samsung has released a firmware update to allow moving of apps to external SD. This is due to the 16gb not actually being that, but more like 9gb. I for one think this is great news. Especially considering I just ordered a new Class 10 micro SD and it will be here today. It is currently only rolling out in Germany, but Im sure it will get here. And even if it doesnt Im sure some cool dev can make it work for us!!! Anyway here is the link. http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57...r-galaxy-s4/?tag=nl.e703&s_cid=e703&ttag=e703
Heres a list of what the update includes.
New Camera firmware with HDR video
Smearing issue has been fixed (Purple effect while scrolling)
Smart Pause Toggle
Move Apps to SD Card
Semi-transparent status bar
New Icons in Settings
Secure boot status in “About Phone”
Increased display legibility
I just read this on http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2420067,00.asp . This looks promising but right now its only out for the snapdragon processors. Hopefully we'll see the qualcomm version arise soon.

Snapdragon is from Qualcomm
I'm wondering if this firmware update brings "under the hood" changes. I.E. removing root exploits and bootloader bypasses.
All in all, I'm excited to see what the new camera firmware brings.

If I remember correctly, if you freeze/remove any of the Verizon apps OTA updates will not be pushed/downloaded to your device. I am not 100% sure on this, someone please correct me if I am wrong.

If your worried that the update will cause you to lose root I wouldnt worry about it being permanent. The devs we have here are awesome and would get root back for sure. You could also try voodoo OTA Rootkeeper. It might work if that happened.

no only if you remove the file needed for OTA, but if your rooted its you won't be able to download it anyway. Will mess up your device. usually theres a leak a week or two before them update gets pushed out and if your rooted you can just flash it and be fine
plus wouldn't you have to manually go and approve the download and update before it ran? Or are they automatically pushed and updated? I know on my wifes unrooted S3 I have to go in and get the update and run it. I haven't had an unrooted phone in so long I wouldn't know on mine
Can't wait till a dev merges this with their rom.

It probably only adds the HDR video that's talked about, it doesn't help the "lag" everyone but me seems to notice. People in the main board already have it installed I think.
Our phone has the Snapdragon 600 processor.

Looking forward to getting my hands on this. The app-to-sd feature is going to be very useful, especially for games.
Anybody have a demo video of what the HDR video looks like?

The 5 ghz issue was fixed and you can not access any channels above 11 on the 2.4 spetrum while in North America. Its an FCC law so yea.
There are some dirty hacks to get both your router and client on the restricted channels but again it's illegal per the FCC.
Hopefully we are talking about the same thing haha

I've read that the S4's radios are superior and the Google Edition RIL blobs recently introduced further improved this. Can anyway say if this is true? I am debating if it's worth switching.

The OTA file itself is in /cache. We don't even need the file, just the sha1 hash which will be in the filename, it'll look like a bunch of letters and numbers. If we have that we can reconstruct the URL and get it ourselves from google.

Images are now up for download!
"Get over-the-air updates
You can receive over-the-air updates to preview versions of Android by enrolling your compatible device in the Android Beta Program. These updates are automatically downloaded and will update your device just like official system updates.
For more information and to enroll your device, see the Android Beta Program web site. http://www.google.com/android/beta
Warning: If you enroll a device in the Android Beta Program, then later opt-out of receiving updates on the device, all user data on that device will be removed."
OTA link to signup for the beta program is dead for now. Hoping it lights up soon
I'm guessing we flash this via fastboot am I correct?

I've only flashed a factory image a few times and am unclear on how it works. I know it usually comes with data loss. Whitch is OK.

General section has a great guide on how to flash it without losing data, pretty much the same as losing data you just don't do the wipe part. lol

The grass isn't always greener. I have a 6P and can't wait for my S7 Edge to get here.

Around the corner? The 6P just came out a few months ago... it's going to be at least 7-8 months until the next one comes out.

Since when did "few" mean 7-8 months?

How do you know new nexus will come in 7-8 months? Thats what everyone thought new android will come and we got surprise by google that it will be relased in summer not in autumn along with android n preview getting released today.
But my point was that theres no point in buying nexus 6p then switching to new nexus with timeline of not even a year which is waste of money.
