HW overlays - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I know it's recommended to disable hw overlays on aosp roms. But, isn't that ultimately bad for your device?

Nope

What does it do to the phone that eliminates screen flickering?

Have you tried tapping the search bar? If that doesn't open it then just search for something.

Which build did u flash and did you flash gapps after the rom?
Tap the microphone icon on the Google search widget, once the input screen comes up press the menu button to access the settings, from there you can turn Google now on (mine was off by default).

Anyone having problems with YouTube? it keeps freezing after viewing the video for one minute.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium
I noticed YouTube buffering excessively earlier but I was on a slower network than usual so I thought nothing of it. Were you on 4g or WiFi when you noticed it? I can't confirm at my current location. I'll have to wait until I get home.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
I'm on Wi-Fi, I don't think it's the connection because I can watch it on my laptop fine.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium
I just watched a video to test, it played all the way through, but like I said it took a while to buffer, which is expected here at my work. The app is fully functional, but may have some performance issues, they just fixed a major bug with it after all. The ROM is still in alpha so you can expect some improvements with an RC.
YouTube included in gapps?

No it is not.
Do y'all know if soft keys will be included? This is great so far

it looks like there are 3 CM10 ROM's available to us in the development forums - Official, Unofficial, and Hercules JB 4.1.1 Nightlies. What are the differences? Went through the 3 forums and seems like they all have the same issues and are all of course in the alpha stage?
If yall are looking for an awesome theme here is one.You can thank djDarknight for this awesome theme.

You should probably spell check that, and look in the Skyrocket forums.

Not to discourage you but those kernels are not updated to meet the fixes implemented with the nightlies. Just wanted to give you that bit of thought. Might fix a minor issue but will break some of the fixes provided but the guys compiling jb for us..

Usually everything but the rotation works fine. But like most things, your experience may differ depending on use and needs.

Dunno for sure if this still is an issues as well but all sensors (including orientation) were installed upside down physically between the T989 (T-Mobile S2) and T989D (Skyrocket), so just like you need rotation fix you may find things like accelerometer, compass, magnetometer, etc. Sensors report, but values may be opposite (thus wrongly reported even though they are collecting data still) of what the ROM expects making them useless.
This was mostly a problem when ICS ROMs were ported between the 2, but will probably be at issue in this circumstance as well.

Blinking Screen

Hey ppl from xda....
I have a problem with my s3.... I get some blue screen blinking and its getting me worried.... Does anybody has this or had it?
What can i do?? Im running frosty beanv6 i already tried wipe cache/ davilk cache and fix perms in recovery...
Any suggestions??? Thanks in advance

Read some of thread before flashing and further more making a whole new thread about an issue that is more then well known for that ROM or most leaked JB ROMs.
Joking aside, it really is a very known thing, you can disable hardware overlays in dev options through settings but it has its drawbacks if you do that.

There is no need to further look into it, if you stay on that ROM it'll have the flicker except for turning HW overlays. You can flash the JB sprint officially ported ROM, that has no flickering and IMO is more stable. Just read a little and you'll be fine.

CM10 Issue (Lockscreen)

Sometimes when I try to unlock my phone, the screen will stay black but the screen is still working along with the touch buttons lighting up. I would have to lock it again to unlock it. Anyone know the fix for this?
I have a pattern unlock
Flash a different ROM. Known issue.

Any suggested rom similar to cm10?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Most roms have this issue.
Best remedy so far (band-aid fix) is to increase your minimum processor to 486MHz
It helps, but isn't guaranteed 100% effective.

Does anyone use the GPS often on AOSP ROMs? How well does it work for you? And what ROM are you using?

Task's AOKP and no problems. No locking problems for me from a full wipe.
Zero issues on AOKP's 4.2.2 milestone and tasks latest. Boom
Sounds good. I've heard of issues with the GPS not being able to get locks, that's one of my main reasons i haven't been Able to leave touchwiz ROMs. Love aosp
