I'm not having any issues with ICS. You should only be getting that issue with JellyBean ROMS.

YES!!! I've been saying this for awhile now lol. Don't know how to get rid of it. I've tried to flash with both trwp and cwm6 to no avail. Sad about it :'( my usual go to roms are cm9 and tdjs dark side v8. No more cm9 now.

See the funny thing is I dont have that issue with jellybean roms anymore... And this did NOT happen to me on previous cm 9 builds. This only started happening ever since I started flashing jellybean builds

I sure do...and I'm running the latest nightly. Nothing seems to help it though.

I know you guys are looking for ways to eliminate flickering on cm9 but the cm10 flickering issue has many different solutions. I am quite sure they can be attempted on cm9 as well. First off though I think you guys should list what you have done to remedy the situation so people just don't inform you of what you already tried.

That's the thing.. its an issue with cm9 itself. I've tried disabling gpu rendering, flashing that useless gpu mod, fully wiping with both trwp and cwm6 touch.. not sure what else I can do.

Interesting... I just flashed cm9 9-30 nightly last night and i don't experience this screen flickering, or at least i'm not noticing it if it's happening.
I'm using sk8's cwm6.0.1.4 and I just followed the instructions on TC's webpage. And I just came from erick's cm10 9-28 nightly. Don't know if this'll help, but that's what I did and I don't see any screen flickering. What's the best way to reproduce this issue? I can try and report back if I see it or not.

Go into your settings, pull your notifications down half way then swipe them back up. The screen should flicker black.

Yup, I'm also seeing a small flicker as well. I couldn't get it reproduced every time, but if I played around with the notification pull down about half way and then swiped them back up, the screen does flicker black.
Is it only from settings that you see this? I tried from my home screen, and I didn't see any flicker.
EDIT: If I go only 1/3 of 1/4 of the way with the pull down in Settings, I can reproduce the flicker every time I believe.

It happens in all apps except the homescreen. For me, it does not matter if you pull it 1/3 or 1/4 or 1/2 or all the way down... the chance of it flickering when you drag it back up is about 20%
edit: I have the 9/30/12 nightly build installed. The flickering is not an issue for me and I use this ROM as my daily driver.

Same here. it appears randomly for me. i see no trend. also at times my data stays on E. but overall i love it.

I'm going to flash the 9/30 nightly with trwp and see what happen. I'm going to try to flash without installing gapps to see if that has any effect.

Im using CM 9.1 stable and I'm not experiencing the issues that you guys are stating. I've already tried several times to replicate the issue.

What from were you on previously? I'm starting to think remnants from the last rom are causing it.

Try adjusting the build.prop entry below:
debug.mdpcomp.maxlayer=3
change it to ->
debug.mdpcomp.maxlayer=1
....this might or might not fix the flickering issue.

Recent apps chooses wrong app

This happens to me maybe one in 10-20 times I use the task switcher soft key. I press the key, press the task I wish to switch to, and another task launches instead. It's always one that is in the switcher, sometimes a very recent one, like 3rd up the list, but sometimes it's from a while ago, like 10 up the list. Had this issue on multiple roms and kernels.
Anyone else?

I'm seriously the only one, or is this already discussed somewhere?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

I haven't seen this discussed before which probably means it isn't a common issue. Have you tried asking in the thread of whatever rom you are using ?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I don't know if you're the only one, but its certainly never happened to me. Always opens the app I touch. I'm going to guess if you're not the only one you're definitely one of a rare few, as I've never seen anyone else state such a problem.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Happens to my on AOKP JB Build 4. Either that or it doesn't switch the app (although the app switcher goes away). Usually happens with YouTube though, whether I'm switching from/to YouTube.

I'm on affinity right now, but it's also happened to me on liquid smooth. I will ask in appropriate thread, just wanted to see if it was known or not.

I've had it happen on both my N7 and Gnex. Both running different ROMs
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

It happens to me. I always thought it was because I wasn't allowing enough time for the task switcher list to "refresh". Ok, so lets say you click task switch button.. back out... then open an app... now tap task switch and select one of the apps really quickly - what happens is that it chooses the wrong one because it hasn't had a chance to refresh. It's like the graphical front end is different than the touch event for a split second before it refreshes the list of recent apps.
What I usually do is wait a second or two before choosing the app and this seems to have solved this problem for me... but it seems that the device shouldn't show anything until everything is completely refreshed. I seem to think this is where they were allowed to make the recent apps list open faster than it did in ICS. ICS opened up a refreshed list but JB opens faster and the list isn't totally refreshed behind the scenes.

That's a good observation. I started waiting a second or two before switching, and now it works good. I noticed I have to wait longer if my phone is lagging a bit or I have a few heavy apps running. Wish it would just work but oh well.

Just like to add, I have the same problem... I'll try the patience .

There is a pretty good article explaining that behaviour on AndroidPolice.
(at least for those instances where it is not caused by some weird lag that some of you described)

Happens to me all of the time, I just recently started giving it a second before giving it a nice strong touch. 4.2 issue I assume?

This problem happens to me as well. I'm running Android 4.1.2 on a Motorola D3

Messaging Issue

So when I'm sending a text, sometimes the cursor will keep moving to the front of a text and not continuing and I have no way to fix this. Other times, it starts erasing everything I wrote. Anyone else experiencing this? If so, any non root related solution?

Did you check to mske sure there is no moister on the phone? Or that your hands are not touching the screen?
Try rebooting and or wiping the cache on the app

Same thing happens to me

thought it was just me hitting the wrong thing, but happens all the time...

I've seen this happen multiple times on all 3 devices that my family has

Yeah i don't know why. I've checked it all, tried two different messaging and keyboard apps and did a factory reset. No luck. It's really hindering
Sent from my LG-LS970 using Tapatalk 2

I have this problem too at times. Not enough to piss me off. I have heard people having success with GO SMS Pro. Might bork your MMS though.

Happens to me as well, i start typing then all of a sudden im at the beginning of the text still typing. I thought it was maybe a bug with Swiftkey or maybe i was accidently touching the screen but it guess not.

Tried it on another 3 og's
Same issue

Yea I have the same issue and I thought it was the stock LG keyboard. So I downloaded the android 4.2 keyboard and I'm still having the same issue. I'll deal with it for now because the 4.2 keyboard is legit and it only happens once in a while.

I called Sprint, I'm taking it in and will probably get it replaced since not everyone has it. Hopefully an update fixes this or there's a rom that does

It is NOT your hardware. This is a software bug in the messaging app. I discussed it HERE already. It's not the keyboard. I've tested multiple keyboard and multiple messaging apps. The problem resolves with a different messaging app. I've used GO SMS and now I'm using chompSMS.
This bug annoys the hell out of me and is the only reason I'm checking the forums every single night for an AOSP ROM to flash. I'm sure this will be resolved with an update to JB, but who knows when that's coming.
Try GO SMS, chompSMS, Handcent or any of the other Messaging apps in the market and this won't happen to you. Do not freeze your stock messaging app or MMS won't work.

This is a known issue at work. Our LG rep said we should have a fix out very soon. It is not a hardware issue and replacing it will do nothing.

Unwanted long pressing when I'm tapping?

Seemingly out of nowhere my girlfriends S3 running a nightly of CM10.1 is acting like you're long pressing when you tap in Chrome or Maps for example. Yet texting is fine, she can type normally, dial normally. It wasn't doing this when I first got her up and running. I'm confused here. Wondering if anyone has run into this or knows what's going on. Otherwise I'll have to flash another nightly and cross my fingers.

Did you consider inquiring in the cm10.x Q&A thread? It's right here in the troubleshooting forum, dude

I thought maybe it would be better to have a broader set of eyes to look at the problem.

[Q]Random Long Press Glitch?

Hey all, I was wondering if anyone has run into this glitch: Randomly my phone will register all touch input (as well as the home button) as long pressing. I end up having to restart my phone in order to clear the glitch. I've encountered it on several different 4.2.2 ROMs.
Any thoughts on what to do to fix this?
Edit: Of course right after I hit post I find the thread that lists the long press glitch here's the link incase anyone else can't find it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2085171(10.1

It's a fairly well known problem on all 4.2.x ROMs. No known fix beyond rebooting as a temporary fix.

Its not all 4.2 ROMs. Its primarily CM. I have run AOKP, Rootbox, Liquid and Carbon and never had the issue. Only on CM did I experience this.
