Hey folks. I've been playing around quite a bit configuring my phone after the new 4.2.2 /sense 5 update. I use an app called Watchdog to monitor apps/processes to see what's going on, and I've noticed a process called com.htc.launcher.fakescreen running in the background, and I was wondering if anyone knows what that is?

Yeah, I got that as well. It's probably a process that loads up when you use a 3rd party launcher.

I think maybe this process takes screenshots of running apps and uses them for the app switcher / task manger thingy lol
