I'm running the latest nightly for CM10.2 and I've started to experience strange graphics rendering issues. For example, when on the desktop I'll launch chrome and the desktop background will slowly go away as a black background curtains from top to bottom with all the icons remaining. This process occurs very slowly and then the icons all disappear yielding the chrome app.
I am running a typical CM10.2 skin, no overclocking, plenty of hard drive space, but it seems like the gpu is taxed or there are memory management issues. Can anyone help or recommend changes?

I'd like to add that I'm using a live background (Xperia z). This problem also occurs occasionally when fast switching apps via holding the home button. Did not start until I put the 11/6 nightly after using nightly s in the same configuration for a month prior.

lately my web browser seems buttery smooth, even on larger websites like engadget.com and whatnot. using cyanogen ROM 6.1. is the browser now using hardare graphics, or any other "trick" recently been done on the browser?
also, related to this, for months i've been using the "invert colors" option in the browser to save battery life (which works wonders BTW). but recently i turned this off and that's hwne the scrolling now becomes buttery smooth. if i change back to invert color, same web page, didnt even reload it, it is not quite as smooth and a little stuttery. same text, web page, everything. yet showing all white is smooth as hell, showing all black is choppier.
so then i tested other sites with colors other than white and black, and it turns out no matter what color, the invert color option is ALWAYS stuttery, and the regular non-invert color is always smooth as butter.
anyone know what exactly the invert color option is doing behind the scenes, and why this would effect performance like this? thanks.
Hi Roger, I noticed this also on CM7 and just stick with white. The only thing I can think of is that perhaps it is rendering the default white 1st and then re-rendering the change 2nd behind the scene and on the fly thus causing the lag, but idk.
hey man,, yeah i have just been using the regular white color. i originally thought that the "invert color" option just simply looked at all color hex values loaded on a page, and inverted them, almost like multiplying by negative 1. wouldnt think that would take any additional procesing power. but it seems it does.
at first i thought it was just the screen having difficulty displaying all black with white text, vs all white with black text. but turns out its only the invert option, and regular black color sites are smooth. so must be the option causing this...
I think it's because of Flash. By default the flashes won't load until you touch them.
There is no hardware acceleration in the stock browser, cyanogenmod or otherwise.
If you a browser that may or may not have hardware acceleration go with Opera Mobile (not mini). It's incredibly smooth, and when they launched it they said they would add hardware acceleration support in the near future. I am unsure as to whether it has gotten added in yet, but in any case, it's much smoother than the stock browser on any image-heavy page. However, unfortunately, it doesn't support flash. Firefox Mobile is also much smoother than the stock browser, but it checkerboards a lot for me, so I don't like recommending it. They too have stated that their next major release will have HW acceleration.
I'm currently using the "[ROM][KANG] CherryKANG 0.9.4 1512max 384min [CM9] ." Overall, the rom is quite good. However, multitasking function ( or so-called recent apps which is located on the bottom left corner) pops up too big compared with CM9 alpha 1.1 I've used before. It takes up the whole screen. Does anybody know how to make is smaller like previous CM9 versions? I appreciate for any help.
What's your resolution settings in CherryKANG ? I haven't used it, but if your DPI is set to big, it might cause that.
It is 120 dpi.
Its not the dpi, its cherry kang. The rom was built that way for some reason
After flashing CM10 nightly, I have spotted something strange - the upper part of my home screens is little darker than the rest of it. And it is only on home screen. In attached screenshot you can see that the upper part is darker. Any idea?

Is your brightness control on the stats bar enabled maybe ?
No. It is on automatic. And strange is that it is only visible on home screens, nowhere else

report tomorrow about that, dont have my phone wright now :-/
Maybe its a normal cm10 transition dunno... cya tomorrow, gn8 landsman !
It's not a glitch. It's a "feature" of ICS/JB's launcher.
To "fix" this, I recommend a home replacement: Nova Launcher, which is based on stock Holo launcher. There is an option in the settings to "show shadow at top and bottom of screen" under screen settings.
Well if it's a feature of ISC/JB stock launcher, it's fine. As everything runs so smooth and works as expected, I will postpone installing custom launchers as not to disturbed current blazing fast performance of cm10 31.10. nightly

Jabolko my friend I have it too So I hope its integrated and not otherwise
I recently installed cyanogenmod 10.1 nightly. I did it mostly because the brightness does not dimm when the phone heats up.
The problems I have is that I miss some of the LGs stock apps like the stock gallery app and Camera app with all the features.
The stock gallery app could play gifs with all the frames(Yes, watching cats fall off tables over and over again is fun).
With CWM, the phone seens to last longer, has some nice features such as(Back button kill) and lockscreen apps. Also the phone does not seem to display the weird bug where the screen would switch on after pushing the power button.
So, is there anyway to get best of both worlds? Any gallery apps out there? In apk of course, I have no internet in my phone.
Also, reverse tether does not seem to work in CM 10.1. The device remains undetected when I try to reverse tether.
Camera apk is ported to CM by iodak, check themes and apps subforum
I was following the instructions in this thread: [SCRIPT] DROID 4 Utility XT894 Jellybean -- Windows + Mac + Linux (All In One!) (can't post there because mt post count is too low)
The update seemed to flash fine, but I'm having this weird graphical glitch, where the bottom third of the screen will flash with horizontal white-ish bars, and part of that area will occasionally flicker up to the top right of the screen. (no webkey yet so i can't screenshot it)
Am I just boned as far as this update goes? Should I try for cyanogenmod after all?
to update: the screen problems go away if I slide from one screen to another in the launcher or the app tray, but the problems come back almost immediately, and static screens have no way to scroll. Also, when the page redraws, it's abysmally slow.
shameless post count inflation. don't hate me.
Cyanogenmod promises better and greater returns, so I suggest you should stick with that

i have exactly the same problem like jugglervr. I used the same instructions like him and got the same graphical errors, and the safestramp-splashscreen ist dark als well (as he mentioned here). I flashed it again and again, but still the same problem.
How did jugglervr solve the problem? DId he install cyanogenmod, and how if safestramp doesnt work?
