[Q] CWM Recovery v6.0.3.6 screen offsets - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

All versions of CWM recovery I've tried and built for the HTC Desire SV (dual sim) has this strange behaviour: when scrolling down through the menu, the screen jumps some characters for every odd menu item, and is correctly displayed for every even menu item.
This is with CWM Recovery 6.0.3.6.
Is this a bug, or any way to configure my source files to correct this?

Happens also on 6.0.1.2. More obervations: the first 50 pixels or so are missing in the rendering of the page (can be seen in the bottom left corner: a black row of pixels, under "Warning"). Having a look at ui.c, miniui.c, seems to be a bug when flipping pages.

Fixed by disabling page flipping
Fixed it by changing some code in bootable/recovery/minui/graphics/c ....
This is where it goes wrong:
vi.yoffset = n * vi.yres;
Somehow, this also introduces an x-offset, at least on my device.
Although exact root-cause is yet unclear, I made a non-page flipping CWM recovery. Let me know if anyone's interested.

The quick fix can be downloaded from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2487211. Will probably commit this fix upstream on github ad well, once I figured out how.
I still wonder if this bug is device related, please post a reply and let me know if you also experience it, which device, which ROM, etc.

Problems with ICS [encryption, security and recharging]

Hello
I would like my Android device encrypted, as it contains sensitive data. I'm currently on cm-9.0.0-rc1-tinystream-hephappy-p500 (RC1-Rev.B). Now, here is what happened:
- To encrypt internal
I went to Security in System Settings and touched "Encrypt Device". It gave some confirmations and I've accepted them however, now I'm kind of stuck on this screen.

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
My first thought was "it is encrypting". But after hours of waiting, I wanted to check if it's done already. So I clicked the power-button once (just to unlock) and it asked for my password. I've entered it and it just went into my normal launcher. I've checked if anything had changed and no, my device has not been encrypted. Any logs somewhere? Any ideas what could have caused the problem?
- To encrypt SDcard
I did some research and didn't find something perfectly for my needs. Anyone has any idea on how to encrypt an SD card to properly work together with Android?
Note: I am using LINK2SD.
Thanks for your help
Another question that actually has nothing to do with my previous post that I post here because it's not worth a new thread: every time I plug in my phone into the charger, it boots automaticly. I don't want that, my previous build of CM9 did just recharge without booting, something I prefer. Any way to configure that?
Another question I want to add to the this thread: is it possible to combine a password lock and a slide lockscreen? Like when I encrypt the phone to enter a password to decrypt it again and then just use the normal slide lockscreen to unlock it each time after the decryption?
One last question: is there any way to encrypt the SQL database in Android? As it contains sensitive data... I've read something about SQLCipher but it doesn't get to work (any help would be appreciated).

Camera - Black screen or fuzzy white lines?

I have a problem. Camera wont work. Most of the time its a black screen and other times it kinda works but i get the image below, and it takes pics like that but you cant view them. I removed apps that I have installed since I noticed this and nothing. Any ideas on this? I looked everywhere for about 2 weeks now. Not sure what to do....?
If a factory reset from the settings menu is recommended... what exactly happens to the custom ROM and kernel? Do they need to be reinstalled or...?
Running Shostock 2.5.6 And AJ 1.25s
And if this is not the place to post this... please tell me where? Thanks everyone!

Replacing the camera module doesnt work. Does the same thing. Any ideas? I doubt it since I have gotten ZERO replies. Was hoping at least ONE person on here has had this problem... guess not. Thanks anyway everyone!
I wonder if it's the kennel you're using. AJK 1.25s is pretty old, and while it is the Samsung version I can't remember if it's for the ICS version you're running; maybe AJ can pop in and reeducate me.
Anyway, a quick test would be to nandroid and flash the rom again without changing the kernel, then see if that solves your problem.
One other thing, don't factory reset from the settings menu, always do these things from the custom recovery.

I just flashed Shostock 3.0.2 the other day without flashing a kernel before I changed the camera module... same result. Thanks for the tip on factory reset.

My GPU isn't working properly (some chinese MT6572 marketed as G+ K3)

Hello, the main problem is that any app using advanced graphics is crashing on me, so I decided to make a test and downloaded OpenGL ES 2.0 Demo to try.
And the result that I get was unbelievable, there's a gallery of my screenshots.

As for my phone, I already had a long story with it, there's the thread, where you can get all the info on the other site, but I'm not able to post links yet, but if you Google " Screwed up my G+ K3" you can find it.
If anyone can help me to get the GPU to work properly, I would be superthankful, I am already starting to lose my mind.
Seems like your GPU is damaged.

Can this be a result of bad drivers or something? I don't really know much about drivers on Android, if there are even some. There's a firmware for another GPU installed, so it might be the cause, but I got no idea how to fix it.

Very VERY likely if it was anything along those lines it would not be general user serviceable by any means.

Well, if I'm getting it right, there's actually nothing to do it that just by my hands then. Since the firmware thinks, that there's another CPU and GPU installed, would flashing to the other firmware (some MT6572 one) work? I had a bad time when trying to port another firmware to it, it didn't boot or I just wasn't able to flash it - was getting errors.

This is currently looping in logcat. Any way to fix except of full reset and a reflas

Suddenly phone got 5-10 fps out of nowhere and not changing back.
Decided to get logcat and see if something interesting came up (this is maybe 40 min after when phone started to be a little more "normal")
It started ok with some warning but soon went to application error and then access denied to files?!
I did not use Instagram(the app crashing) for over 12 hours before.
Now the last picture is running over and over again (same things coming up, like it was looped)
So am I forced to reset and flash from start? Should I be worried about anything?
Thanks in advance!
Edit: it changed to some really worth and (to me) worrying things so a full reset is mandatory when I get home...

It seems your software has been corrupted somehow. Yes, reflashing your stock firmware should fix this.

Acording to Huawei, You have to Use HiSuite to recover it.
1. Put the Phone into Fast Boot. AND conect to PC
2. Open HiSuite on Your PC and click on Recovery mode or whatever its called.
3. i donk know i forgot.
anyways, i get this nice little message
(In translated, this means That: Your Device doesnt support System Recovery.
Bro wth
Anyways, our phone story doesnt end there...
I tried doing it without the Computer.
using eRecovery!!! not surprising i know...
Still, it was stuck on booting animation trying to enter eRecovery.
According to Huawei, "this message is displayed when a system file is replaced or modified, or the system is manually updated to an unofficial version". They were responding to another user with the same issue as mine.
I think that this is the Issue. Still, the instructions to fix it, dont work. (as tested above.)
Tutorials show the eRecovery method without the PC.
Here are some info i found:
Another Guy having the same issue:
i forgot the link but someone else on XDA Had the same issue.
please help!!!
hello sir did you have any luck resolving this issue (I've purity much looked every were but I had no chance)
