16 bit transparency should reduce "framebuffer" (we don't really have that, it's just RAM reserved for the GPU) usage. The phone normally uses 32bit colors for that (Twice as many bits! Back in the "bit wars" people would be amazed, even though most didn't know what a bit was).

So it could very well be a good thing to enable seeing there's issues with video memory for some of you. Maybe not tho, smileyman here might just be lucky :P
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PunchUp:
I haven't had any issues at all. And as I stated earlier, full HD videos are working for me in this build. So all good here ?

I also didn't have any graphical problem. Rom is really smooth. :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] preo1:
Guys the new RC2 is really sweet. this 100mb improvement make the difference ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
Sorry for the false alarm, it seems the screen brightness hack with the old OpenSEMC app caused my issues. In previous versions this caused no problems, but the change in graphics drivers messed it up. No big deal though. No one else was using that hack? :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:
I'd like to know if there's a way to reduce brightness. The bugs back in OpenSEMC's old builds had brightness that got as low down as 0.

I need my phone during the nights as well, and if anyone knows where I could find something that could enable this again, I would be so happy.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PunchUp:
Well the lowest value is already quite dark, but if you need more download an app called Power Toggles. Yesterday I accidentally turned it down to 0 and couldn't see anything. Had to use a flashlight in a dark room to unlock my screen somehow and disable it?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] valetto:
new update has 720 mb ram as promised?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PunchUp:
No he broke his promise. It's 721 lol ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:
Thanks, will look it up.

After the game, of course. COME ON SPAIN DO YOUR MAGIC!

I did try using Lux and Twilight but they only create a dark overlay, making most things unreadable at max settings.

I know it's dangerous, but I'd rather risk this than ruin my eyes in the dark.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PunchUp:
Those overlay apps are sometimes handy though :p

Surprising to see Spain knocked out already ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:
Only find Twilight's overlay useful for reading on my N7. For all other purposes, it's really not useful. Lux is all-round bad, imo.

Don't see what del Bosque is thinking with the squad; where are Xavi and Villa? Who are the idiots in the game here? Why is the defense as bad as Barcelona's?

So many questions ... At least Pique isn't playing \o/

Ah well. My heart stays with Spain.

EDIT: Power Toggles don't seem to do anything for me. It's just a set of widgets and system settings, even enabling root mode and zero brightness doesn't cut it...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mithab:
OT But bye bye spain XD

One is a LEGACY way of enabling SDCARD and the other the normal way. So sometimes if an app has been around for a while it knows to do both. No real problem you will just have to ignore one. The App publisher really should update his code so if it detects the newer to ignore the older.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PunchUp:
[MENTION=4275152]someone755[/MENTION] did you go to settings>toggle settings>brightness and tried custom values?

Lux has a red hue. Have you tried Screen Filter by Haxor for a black overlay?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] deedwar:
Glad to hear. I was worried it might cause graphical glitches and that was why it was that high. I tested it a bit but you guys punish yours so i figured you would find any problems.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] deedwar:
In my source files there is a setting that is currently on 20. If i lowered that it would lower the min brightness but that would be for everyone and i know im getting old but the min does seem to be pretty good. I will see what lowering it to 15 does and if these old eyes can still see what is on the screen enough to raise it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] preo1:
Hi guys! I've got two questions for ya :D

1- Any idea on how to disable the PIE controls once activated? Even if I'm not on immersive mode when an application goes to fullscreen they can be triggered.. and that's really annoying (ex: in the Simpson tapped out I often exit the game because while swinging my finger I accidentally tap the Home button in PIE).

2- There is any solution for the missing clear all button in recent apps? Maybe some application?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
You can reset your PA settings if that's what you want and after that there will be a dialogue to enable PIE, so don't enable it this time.

I wouldn't recommend using a clear all button, but you can set activating multitasking button to also clear all apps if you press it the second time.

You can reset PA settings in the Backup & Restore categories.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] preo1:
Thank you for the hint on the PA settings reset, done :cool:

But why wouldn't you recommend to use a clear all button? Plus I've looked on the settings but the clear all function isn't in the list of function you can associate to the home and option buttons..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] valetto:
I think because clear all is integrated with the on screen navigation bar which is currently off in our xperia s. Anyways you can manually activate clear all button using gravity box.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:
Things on XDA rarely make me laugh as hard as this sentence did right now xD

For the brightness tho, is there a file I can change so you don't have to do anything?

I saw Metallice do some talk about it being configurable in the kernel -- that I can build for myself, but where the heck could that be?

If that doesn't work, there's always the smali-ing and apktool-ing of the system thingies c:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] deedwar:
I thought i saw it in the fuji-common overlay file somewhere but i cant see it atm, if i come across it i will let you know.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] abcdjdj:
Hi,

I found the value in frameworks_base/core/res/res/values/config.xml. The name of the integer is config_screenBrightnessSettingMinimum. So if you decompile framework-res.apk, it should be there in the config.xml :)

Btw deedwar, please do have a look at this commit for enabling variable brightness for the illumination bar - https://github.com/abcdjdj/android_...mmit/3a1c4db91b8544b9bff72c73e38ded9e606aa116

I have never used PA but using that commit should enable the user to change the bar's brightness somewhere in Settings as it did on Carbon.

Regards,

Greenify doesn't change any CPU values.

Try not using the Settingd>Performance thing for setting CPU Frequencies. Check for any apps that might do this (Kernel Tuner, TricksterMod, SetCPU etc.), uninstall all of them, then go to Play Store and download TricksterMod. Set your CPU preferences there and only there.

screen flickering

I still have occasional screen flickering, and seeing as some other users are reporting this, I did some more digging around to find the cause. I first assumed this was caused by the OpenSEMC app but I uninstalled that and I've cleaned the caches so it looks like I was wrong (I was just going through all the hacky stuff I did, so I also uninstalled the lightbar notification thing app, it doesn't work for me anyway).

I've posted a logcat here starting from about a minute before the flickering. What I noticed while catlog was running was that every flicker was accompanied by this error:

E/qdmemalloc(190): ION_IOC_ALLOC failed with error - Out of memory

Followed by

W/qdmemalloc(190): Falling back to system heap

There's a bunch more codes of course, but this line always showed up with each flicker.

Seems to be a memory error, the flickering also stops when I close one of my apps (Feedly mostly, but the errors also occur when I'm not using Feedly, although it could be running in the background ofcourse).

Not related to my flickering error, but has anyone seen the Heads Up notifications unlocked with CM? http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/06/21/cyanogenmod-unearths-floating-heads-up-notifications-in-aosp-enables-them-in-latest-cm11-nightlies/ Looks a looot like Hover, but a bit better honestly, and apparently it was in AOSP all along. I hope PA adopts this as well, might have to ditch Hover. Shame of all the work, but it shows again that the PA team has the same idea as Google about notifications.
