Make "Disable HW Overlays" permanent

[tedrogers61]

Hi. Does anyone know how to make the "Disable HW Overlays" option found on some ROMs permanently checked / persistent after reboot? I'm using JellyTime R13 on my DHD. Thanks.

I don't think that there's an option to do that. But ticking the option every boot isn't all that hard.

Agreed...but if there is a better way then I'd be very keen to learn of it.

+1 same question on Jellytime R15 !

+1 same question on Jellytime R15 !

On the JT R15 developer thread, someone has noted that it is a known issue.

I'm not sure whether they mean it is a known issue that the HW Overlay box is unchecked after reboot, or whether the graphical issues with checking Disable HW Overlays solves is an issue.

However, people are talking about it, and that pleases me.

Also looking for a permanent solution for my Inspire 4G, is frustrating to run the camera or play a video and have the phone restart cause I forgot to switch the setting last boot.

Thanks man! i was just looking for the shell cmd but this works ! *on android 7.1.2 initd. d needed to be emulated....i dont beleive its the default "load on boot" protocol any longer but emulation via kernel auditor seems to do the trick. Doesnt matter as long as i dont have to manually set check the option. Appreciate the work.

Dear @titanic_fanatic, can I kindly ask you if you can adapt your script to make the Skia GPU renderer on Android Oreo applied on boot without it resetting every time? Thank you for the original idea anyway, it was brilliant, I use always your script

 

[remained]

Why should I do that? Can you please explain it? ?
