Still getting a small amount of tearing using nova launcher, however, I only notice it on the CyanogenMod cLock widget. All of my other widgets and apps seem fine now and it is a major improvement over previous builds! :highfive:

Users with tearing, please try this boot.img out and let me know if your tearing is better, worse, or same.

boot.img

Just fastboot flash this and let me know.

Just to keep it clean, if its *gone* for you, hit Thanks. otherwise, report back and in what application you saw the tearing in.

Still seeing it in nova launcher, but it's a definite improvement
Edit: it's only tearing on the dash clock widget, for other widgets there is no visible tearing
Edit: ok lol, I honestly do not know, can't even notice it anymore

I get pretty terrible battery life on this ROM. I was used to getting at least 13 hours on CM10 but now I'm getting like 10. Anything I can do? The phone actually seems to go into deep sleep and have less time awake on 10.1 compared to 10, but it chews through battery.

Same here

I was having the same issue till I flashed a different radio.

What radio are you using? 3.17 doesn't seem to fix the problem, my battery drain is mainly when on 3g, wifi is ok tho. Phone gets really hot on the top when on 3g too

After flashing, it seems that the tearing is almost entirely gone for the most part, however some animations seem to stutter now more than I've previously noticed. In particular opening and closing the app drawer both stutter and don't look very smooth. I went and turned on HW overlays and like someone else said the tearing actually came back, however the app drawer animation was smooth again.

Just something I noticed. Thanks for all your work H8!

report back and in what application you saw the tearing in.

Thanks for all your work trying to fix this up h8. It must be frustrating having an issue that is not reproducible on your phone. Unfortunately I am still seeing tearing in ANY application when scrolling vertically. Just go to 'Settings' and scroll up and down, the top and bottom of the screen update at different times and is is very jarring visually. It is particularly noticeable in system menus because of the vertical background gradient.

The effect is slightly reduced with your new boot.img although it is still there.

I'll admit that tearing during vertical scrolling is more subtle than tearing during horizontal scrolling that was fixed with the 19022013 build for me.
Someone that had tearing issues, please update to the newest nightly and tell me if they are gone? There were some c2d2 commits last night that may have fixed it for the time being until we get newer c2d2 blobs.

I usually don't like to keep cm10 as my daily driver but cm10.1 has been surprisingly well. Try using tasker to toggle 2g when Wi-Fi connected and LTE when disconnected. I was on Wi-Fi all day and got 50 percent juice left with over 2.5 hours of screen on. I also adjust auto brightness settings since the stock values seemed really high.


On another note, will nfc while screen off be implemented on this rom like the viperrom? I really liked that feature but I can't seem to be able to find any threads about it on our device...

Thanks for this great rom! I'm really enjoying it!

Really can't complain with battery life like this. Amazing. No screen tearing.

Just updated to nightly 20130224 and the screen tearing is back, the kernel you posted up earlier is a big improvement over this.

+1. Just wanted to confirm that the Navigation app works in the background as stated above. Unfortunately, I usually use the Nav feature visually, and not through the voice prompts. I like all the information about the next turn, distance, road inofrmation... etc.


I'll try disabling the HW overlays in the Developer settings. Anyone try this?

I'm actually having this problem with CM10...so are we absolutely sure it's not a app issue?

Disagree. On newest nightly any screen tearing I'm seeing I really have to look for because it's so negligible. Haven't tried the boot.img since I'm happy with the way it is.

I agree that it's fine, but I'm just saying the test kernel h8rift posted reduced the screen tearing

No problems on newest nightly, tearing seems to be gone. Also, I have a weird issue... My option to reboot is gone. This happened a day or two ago, and I assumed flashing the newest nightly would fix it... But it didn't. Did I accidentally tick some option or what?

    @h8rift please check PM

    Thread has been cleaned out. While I realize Development has slowed, I have created an OT thread in the General section HERE For all to decompress ;)


    Lets try to stick with CM talk here.

    Thank you

    Thanks Tony, and sorry for the very late reply to your PM. You did what I would have asked :).

    Development is still going on for this device, but we're trying to work on m7 (HTC One) and this family and get them merged so they always stay up to date with eachother. Its a fun, but daunting task...so please bear with me :). Once we get this kernel cleaned up it *does* have working HDMI and no refresh lines too. So basically, it will be near perfect and solid for this device. Just need some time as alot of us have had work stuff, personal stuff, (and myself) medical stuff going on.

    We still love our S4 8960 devices, so they aren't forgotten :). We're learning alot about things we can fix here from what we are learning about the m7, so its a great experience for us and for you, the user. So kick back and relax and I will definitely put a noticable post up when nightlies return to normal and we move on to the other kernel which drops the lib that got us DMCA'ed.

    Thanks everyone,

    I believe everyone is correct and a status update is required at this point. This was my first CM device to maintain and I have a deep love and respect for it.

    We just merged up our 3.4 stuff to CyanogenMod and each of the four devices in the family have a few leftover issues before we start nightlies again.

    Here's the scoop on our phone on 3.4 at this moment:

    All features work except:
    *720p/1080p video
    *random reboots
    *increased battery drain over 3.0 kernel as it is not optimized or has a stale process chewing battery. Its nothing catastrophic, but noticeable.

    Issue-by-issue:
    #1: this is broken on all four devices at the moment and as all of you remember from cm9, cm10, cm-10.1 w/3.0 kernel....we do camera last. Stability first, features second, polish third.

    #2 I bricked my Evita while fixing this issue so it could be released in an alpha status to you all. Luckily, XsMagical has been very very kind and offered to donate me a new motherboard ($150) to revive my device. It should be in the mail coming my way on Monday. We believe we found the fix, I just need to validate.

    #3 this issue will be addressed after reboots and camera are up. Hell it could be the camera or reboots causing it. That's why we polish last.

    **Sidenote: in 6-8 months I will most likely get whatever new htc device is out there and maintain it too if its on at&t. Why? Because our 4 (now 6) man squad are all CM has for HTC development officially. Period. There's nearly 10 people on the GS3 and GS4 series of phones just by themselves. No one wants or loves htc devices more than us so damn right I will do my hardest to maintain as much and as many as I can. Every new device I encounter the mire I learn how to fix up the others. We figured out HDMI out for this device by working on the HTC One, for example. We are also looking at merging kernels so that yes, thus device will be continually carried through new versions of android as well as the newer devices.

    Some Evita users moved to the HTC One already and I was already there having their back. I would feel more appreciative that you get an easy-going, hard working person like me to give up all this time to work on devices knowing dang well that if you upgrade to another AT&T HTC device, you can expect me along with it. I feel I am dependable and actually listen to complaints, kudos, and feedback and respond appropriately, while other developers might not really care to respond to anything. My PM box fills up daily with questions and queries about how to build android from source for random devices like Huawei, or older devices like the HTC Flyer tablet. I literally work 45 hours a week at work, then put in another 5 hours minimum every night (or 10-15 on weekends). If you have been wondering what I have done with my 25 hours on android this week it has been trying to find a way to un-brick my Evita before that motherboard arrives so I can get to work this weekend. Rohan has been helping out a lot since my device died but he is very busy at the moment.

    Last but not least. As soon as I can confirm the random reboots every 5-10 minutes are gone and it is a stable phone (I'm talking voice and data, because phone call availability is #1 priority...I mean...its a phone for crying out loud...), I will be blowing this thread up with test builds to see if we catch other bugs.

    But I would rather see you on a stable build from March than an unstable build today and something happens to a family member and you don't get the phone call. Or maybe you get hurt badly and your phone reboots in mid-dial.

    That's what I think about. That's why there are no test builds yet. Be patient, I want to see everyone excited again once this is released again. Lord knows I could use a few hours break by having all the devices on nightlies so I can work out bugs!

    Sorry for the length, but that's what's on my mind after I read the last few posts so I wanted you to know *everything* that is going on.

    Thanks,
    -h8

    Little update for you guys, the remaining issues are almost done for the 3.4 kernel. the permanent black screen unless USB is plugged in is gone now. We are now dealing with a screen on / off delay of a half a second and getting camera working again :).

    Sit tight, eat some popcorn, you will enjoy the update when its available (then nightlies will start up again shortly after, bc we wont need the file that got us DMCA'ed). This also sets us up for quick updates to the next version of android since we're mostly CAF, with minor HTC bits needed to run the vendor-specific hardware.

    We're making major headway on our 3.4 kernel. No tearing and such, super smooth. Only problem right now is Camera, screen on/off delay, and if you dont have a USB cable plugged in, after about 10-15 seconds, the screen will not turn back on until you plug a usb cable back in. Otherwise its pretty much fully CAF code :).

    Sorry haven't been around, we took a break for about a week, we'll still waiting on our vendor repo to come back. That break did us well, we're making major progress now.

    There is no "giving up", its just "how long will it take". We are going to miss M3 but are trying to be ready for cm-10.1 stable. We'll just have to see.

    Thanks guys!
