Screen Issues on rpi3 with android 7.1.2

[or.s...@gmail.com]

Hey Everyone,

I'm compiling GeekTillItHertz sources for android 7.1.2 r4 for rpi3 and I have some screen issues as you can see below:

The funny thing is that inside an application or even inside the app menu (or even when open the status bar), the screen become ok - as you can see below:

Now, I have tried few things to eliminate certain issues possible:

1. First I assumed its not a kernel problem as the android familiar with fb device and can allocate frame buffers just fine (as seen in the picture above).

2. I requested a dumpsys for the Surface flinger when an application is open (stable display) and when the home screen is open (unstable) and saw that two of them are using GLES - thats why i assumed that mesa is fine.

3. my next attempt was to switch the luncher, at first I switched from luncher3 to luncher2, and next I switched to holo luncher, was not a success either.

4. I have changed resolutions in the system.prop and changed dpi support in the rpi.mk file but there was not any change.

Please try to help me understand where am I not looking, what do you think is the source for these issues?

Did you patch the framework like it says on the git pages?

Yes, no change was noticed.

The fix you suggested did not intend to fix colors disort and random display? because the display is stable as it is (mirrored) and the colors are accurate so I suppose no rgb decoding issue.

Please tell me if I'm wrong, I want to understand what am I doing :)

Tnx

It definitely say that's a GPU problem, nothing with the screen or output. Changing the launcher wont do anything either. Have you tried opening settings>devoloper settings> and then somewhere under there is an option for simulate secondary displays?

I see what you mean, no simulated second display exists, and its no loke that at all, when my mouse is in the system/status bar area, the mouse does not replicate. 

Why are you assuming this is an issue with the gpu?

P.s - its important to mantion that the image of rapiand worked just fine with the same screen, so thats making it even weirder...
