[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dannieloco:
thanks for the reply..

Im actually already using LeanKernel. Its an older version because the newer ones arent compatible with RC3. RC3 seems to work best for me. Ive tried every single newer release but I always find some issue that RC3 never had lol. Ill keep updating as they come out, but I seem to always go back to RC3.

I actually read read up on it, and

"Without a hardware overlay every application that is displaying things on the screen will share video memory and will have to constantly check for collision and clipping to render a proper image, this can cost a lot of processing power. With a hardware overlay each application gets its own portion of video memory, getting rid of the need to check for collision and clipping.

Basically, using hardware overlays can reduce CPU usage by quite a bit, so I would leave it enabled."

No biggie, im glad it doesnt flicker anymore
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jee'sgalaxy:
Haha, no biggie, but this fix was more of a temporary fix. Have you tried the cyanogenmod stable? go to "get.cm" find your device. there should be a stable galaxy s3 release for att, vzn, spr, tmob. I would say this coupled with the lean kernel is a good match. on top of that, wouldnt have to do this flicker fix.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jee'sgalaxy:
Hit the thanks button if i've helped!

Actually I'm quite glad that see that this method is working on phones other than the gs2 series. I will keep track of the phones that this method works for and hopefully it'll be a quick temp fix for people.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jee'sgalaxy:
yea, i might get rid of the disabling dither part, but the only reason stopping me is that some say it help :/.. for me... ehh didn't do anything.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pj_rage:
Tried this today on my Galaxy Note as I have an issue with overlays on some things, youtube being the most notable, where I can't see the seek bar, pause/play, etc because they are beneath the video. If I choose disable HW overlays in developer options, everything is perfect, but it won't persist reboot. So I tried this as a permanent solution. Followed the steps in the OP and rebooted. My issue is not resolved until I go and re-check the disable HW overlays option. So while it might fix flickering issues, but I guess it's not an exact replacement for the disable HW overlay option. My rom FWIW is flapjaxxx ASOPxxx, and I did check build.prop after reboot and the settings all stayed as I set them from the OP.

Any thoughts on anything else I can edit/add to get the full functionality of the disable HW overlays option to persist reboot?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jee'sgalaxy:
tell me the exact values you put into your build prop.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pj_rage:
I used the exact values found in the original post (as of yesterday):

*debug.mdpcomp.maxlayer = 0 (I did not try other values, just tried 0 as you said it worked well for you -- thought this would only change performance not functionality?)

*debug.composition.type = gpu

*dev.pm.gpu_samplingrate = 1 (mine originally said "dyn" which I changed to gpu)

*debug.sf.hw = 1 (mine was already 1)

*debug.egl.hw = 1 (mine was already 1)

The step f did not apply to me about dithering because I am not running straight CM10.

Thanks for your help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jee'sgalaxy:
My only suggestion is try the value of 1 and 2 on the value of "debug.mdpcomp.maxlayer." (try the value 2 first) always reboot after editing build.prop.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jopel:
Okay so I have the Xperia Arc S with 4.0.4 and I would like to change the secondary backround which is just plain horrible. By secondary I mean the one that shows when you are on settings, messages, phone, email etc. Is this possible without rooting the phone? Because I've tried that and getting damn tired of failing on it, because I cant and dont know how to install adb drivers etc and I wouldnt like to risk my warranty.

I also have additional problem with the home screens. By default there are 5 of the homescreens and you can just swipe across them, have different widgets on every screen etc. The problem is that I dont like them, I only use 1 screen and would like to delete others. Is that possible? It was on my previous phone samsung xcover but cant seem to find option for that.

I am not good with these things so any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

You can check by using IMEI checkers, checking the sizes are correct, using benchmark tests (They help determin, if the device is giving it's promised/usual performance, Chinese fakes have mostly got a single-core) and using different rooting methods ;)

Tr booting into Odin mode:

VOL. DWN + HOME + PWR

and connecting it to your computer, while having Odin open, if it says Ready, it's original...

There are a few more ways of determining stuff, like that, but that should give you a start :)

if you are rooted just use browser2ram and with the default browser you will never get that error unless flash is causing issues. just google it as it is not in the play store.

I don't want to flash another ROM, I, as of now, still like the stock ROM. I do Root in order to be able to install LBE Privacy Guard. (maybe in the future I will flash another ROM).

my question is is there a risk in rooting (when done properly)? is there a potential of damage to the device?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topshot:
Before I buy another used Captivate to swap motherboards, I'd like to know if there's anything else I should look at.

Scenario: Bought used Captivate with bad USB port and running CM9 Beta. Once I finally got my SIM card, I had no network signal (couldn't even find any operators when you search for them). Redid the APNs multiple times though those seem to be for Internet and MMS rather than cell. Wifi works fine. Flashed to CM 9.1 stable. No difference. Verified phone is unlocked. Verified IMEIs match. Verified baseband was listed. Verified my phone # is listed. Flashed to CM 7.1. No difference. I wanted to flash to stock but can't because Mobile Odin won't work with CM's partition layout. Thus, it seems I am stuck with CM or MIUI.

Is there anything in efs or another system directory that could prevent me from getting a signal?
