Burn In protection - LineageOS Questions & Answers

I'm new to custom rims so I don't know how they work with OLED burn in issues.
Does lineageos have burn in protection like shifting pixels from time to time in AOD or in notification bar?

I don't believe it does, no. Other custom ROMs do, though, such as crDroid (which uses LineageOS as its base).

Screen shifting - what is this?

I buy this awesome watches before few days and I saw that watchface screen is randomly shifted around display and is not in center. This is refreshed about once per minute and I think that it's in response to gyroscope. Maybe it's some type of anti-screen-burn protection system. Can anyone explain what is this feature and how can i disable it?
It's exactly what you said, it is the AMOLED burn in protection. Unfortunately I don't know if or how it can be deactivated.
With an ambient watchface like yours, it does not make too much sense anyway, as the shift will not ensure that every pixel is not constantly on. To be honest, I don't know if it is a good idea to use such a watchface in ambient mode, as we have had already reports of burn in effects here in this forum. You may want to look for something optimized for AMOLED displays.

Thank's for your contribution. I found some display burn-in-protection in developers menu of android wear, but it doesn't have effect after change...

Screen burn in

Hey guys and girls,
I just got my OnePlus 5T yesterday and I'm loving it so far, Oreo works so well and is so fluid
Their is just one thing I'm massively worried about - screen burn in. Has the upgrade from Nougat to Oreo decreased the likelihood of this happening or is it down to us to make sure it doesn't happen? So far, I have put the nav bar to hide automatically and I have set my screen brightness to as low as I can bare.
It's a shame because the display is simply beautiful but I don't want to have screen burn in.
Can you advise if these steps are necessary, if you've experienced screen burn in, what else can be done to minimise the risk of screen burn in?
Thank you,
Speedy!

There always be a bit of screen burn in due to the nature of an AMOLED screen in this device.
Oreo keeps for example the nav bar white to counter the area where the burn in will be most noticeable.
If you want to counter it even more, disable status + nav bar (with OP Gestures for example).
You'll end up with a burn-in some day, but with the methods above you can push it back a little bit.

weird stuck navbar and yellow tint

So i recently bought a used pixel xl and honestly im loving it. I just have this weird problem ever since i turned on gesture navigation. There is an imprint of the navbar stuck on the bottom of the display. Also the whole screen has a yellowish tint except for that region of the navbar. please take look at the pictures to better understand.
That's burn in, there's potentially some ways to save it by running those screen savers but I never had good luck with those. Theoretically, you would have to change the panel. The way to comprehend for this is lowering the brightness and using the display in different ways and a chance that the burn in could go away, but in most cases, its permanent.

And what about the yellow tint in the display? It's that just a pixel XL thing

Question Always on Display

How did Google handle burning the Pixel screen? For MIUI rom, the clock moves to burn the display. But there is no such thing as PE, what solution do you use?
I have same question, on cherish OS always-on clock is always in one place it can hurt display.
If it was going to burn the screen like you said, Google would have already done it for to protect its devices
I think the idea of burning only applies to big TV Oled screens and not for smart phones
My old Pixel 2xl have burn ins, but from Chrome and nav bar+status bar, not from the always on feature. The clock is simple to dim i believe

Question Pixels on screen edges

I've encountered a problem on many custom ROMs for my Poco F3 and i haven't seen someone ask this question before. While being on a custom ROM, the edges of the display seem pixelated, like they're not smooth, in fact I can see the pixels on the corners. Did this happen only to me? How to fix it?
That can happen, and it's normal. The corners of the screen are rounded, but the displays themselves are still matrices of pixels, which means that they are, in actuality, jagged up to a point.
It means that the ROM maintainer did not create a mask within the android UI to cover/optically correct those edges.
Usually when someone starts including them most will pick it up. If it bothers you that much, you can switch to a MIUI based ROM instead.
