[FIX] Lag fix for cm10 based roms (cm10, paranoid android, jellybro)

---

I posted this in the other two forums and didn't wanna leave you sprint folks out.

I have a fix for the lagginess in builds from the past week and a half or so. The culprit is the surface flinger library. It is the android compositing system and some changes recently made to it are responsible for the significant lag in recent builds. Most noticeable spot is if you hit the home button if you have the notification drawer down. It becomes extremely laggy without this patch. Scrolling is also less smooth whenever multiple things on the screen are being drawn. This fixes all those issues.

Just flash this in cwm or whatever recovery you choose. Should work on all cm10 builds and cm10 based roms like paranoid android.

Thanks. I was looking for hours trying to figure out why all the builds from past like august 22nd 23rd were really laggy. Figured it out after messing with files for hours and reading cm10s github and gerrit pages.

Will this work with Codename? I can backup and flash but was just wondering if anyone knows.

yes i flashed this over CNA

I love you. Does anyone in CM know about this issue? So that they can correct it?

For any fellow LMT users: This also seems to have drastically decreased the lag you get with your pie buttons (more specifically, the back button). I think Paranoid fans will dig it. I do!

Wow, I've been messing with every setting possible to fix the drawer from lagging the way it did knowing everything else was butter smooth. You have de-stressed me :'). Awesome Fix!
