Not trying to keep up any controversy on my end, I did some tweaking on my end to find out that turning on the second core doesn't help with the smoothness at all.
It might help if I did not add the line in the build.prop for the UI to be handled by the GPU, but it doesn't help at all. THis is what I did:
In System tuner pro, I disabled the OC Deamon (this was done based upon RM stating the OC Deamon issues as well as my own experience with it and not liking how it handled activating the second core upon unlock). Then, after the various conversations regarding turning the second core on and active, I disabled the second core.
I rebooted the phone and basically waited an hour (I had some household stuff to do so I let the phone sit after rebooting it). Finally, made sure the second core was offline (it was) and then used my phone like normal (music, web browsing, a call, and some texts).
No hit to the smoothness of the rom that I was experiencing when I had the second core active. So I can admit being wrong. But I would stick with the various build.prop tweaks I made unless someone can outright prove they don't help at all.

Used to happen to me. I just deny it and the message goes through anyway. Not sure why most apps, after having done anything camera related, request SU permissions. Just deny and the picture will post anyway.
