[POLL] opinions of CRT on mod?

Does anyone actually like the CRT on mod (where the screen looks like a CRT monitor when turned on). CleanGB ROM has this mod, and it seems to make there be a noticeable delay when turning the screen on. I was wondering what other people's opinions were that had this mod (whether in CleanGB or other ROMs). I've noticed several other people complaining about the screen on lag time in the CleanGB thread, and I was wondering what the general consensus was.

I don't get any screen lag when turning the screen on.
It may not be related but I do notice that I am getting worse battery life ever since I flashed the mod. Probably just my imagination.

It took me a little while to get used to with CRT on. Might be nice to have the option to flash it individually.
The scrollable status bar seems like way too many unnecessary options IMHO.

Try wiping battery stats. After I flashed the rom my battery went down 25% over a 5 minute period but after I wiped battery stats that doesn't happen anymore. It seemed like more of a reporting artifact than battery power not being availiable.

I personally love crt on.

No opinion one way or the other.

I'd prefer to not have it, but I wouldn't say I hate it.

CRT animation really completed GB for me.

Love it, and no lag whatsoever.

Is there a CWM flashable CRT only mod? I only want to add the CRT animation to my stock (rooted) EI22 but everything I find in themes includes additional changes. Maybe I'm not searching hard enough...
Edit: Nevermind, using Google pointed me to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339848 which works great.

I'm with Worldwide on this one.

love it so much

its great. No lag on legendary
Edit: must amend. I was using Samarai 2.0.8 and it was great. Just trying out 3.2.0 and wake lag is unbareable. Press button one one thousand two screen comes on. Going back to older samauri

its neat but gets old
I like how it looks, but when I hit the wake button, it doesn't wake right up. Its not a lag per-say, but the phone would wake up -animation faster. I realize its a small amount, but noticeable.

Just thought I would share.

I have been looking for a new way to keep fingerprints off of my screen. and I have heard rain x worked but I didn't have any, so I tried Meguiars ultimate quick wax. The result is amazing.!!! I can tell a huge difference in the amount of fingerprints on my screen. It also made my screen really smooth like an iPad.
I will take no responsibly if this messes up your tablet, this is purely what I did and it worked. Results may vary.
thanks

another good use for car wax is a quick fix for a scratched [email protected]/DVD. Gonna try this as my tab gunks up after just minutes of use. When playing air attack I put a bit of powder on my finger, lol.

You might want to see if the substance your using is nontoxic. I would hate to see a fellow iconia user fall ill to some chemicals in the wax

It hasn't harmed my screen in the few days that I have had it on my screen. That is also why I put the disclaimer there.

i think the concern is the users health here.

I'm pretty sure the concern is touching your screen then eating a sandwich or biting your nails or something that might cause you to ingest the wax.

Hand Sanitizer, and a good washing is the key. It really helps before you eat.

Hmm, that's pretty clever. I wonder if it would adversely affect a ghost armor screen protector.
Not only that, I wonder how it would fare on my phone with a steinheil screen protector. Rain-x is supposed to be tint safe.

Unresponsive touchscreen on some points.

After using the new SGTab 2 7" I have experiencing the touchscreen is unresponsive in some occasions.
For example closing the tabs in the brrowser on the X mark is very hard, both in the stock browser and Chrome.
When I try to clear my mssage in the bottom right corner, it also doesn't recognize my touch on various occasions.
It seems to me that along the edges of the screen, the touches are harder to recognize. Have any of you recognized this problem aswell?
After reading a review on Techradar.com, this passage stood out for me:
''Disappointingly, we found the touchscreen experience to be a little sub-par. The sensitivity of the display was lower than we expected, and we found it hard to register presses on small parts of the browser, such as links, and the close tab button.''

I encountered the same fault/defect on my Tab2 10.1
especially on small objects,
but it seems not to be constant.
meaning it generally works, but sometime i have to press multiple times to activate the selected button or object.

I found that fingerprints really lower the sensitivity of the screen. If you wipe off the screen after prolonged use, the touch experience will be much better. I verified this using a touch recognition program.

Yeah I wipe and I wipe haha..on all my devices. But it seems worse on this device, compared to all others even though I clean very often.
Cheers for your suggestion though

thats true
some times happens to me too in youte app, i notice it only there still.

Same thing here, it gets incredibly frustrating for me. It's very noticeable trying to close a tab.

Is it a hardware or software issue?

Software...lately it doesn't happen anymore..on and off

Got mine today. And ive been fine, then again i have a crappy screen protector lol.

After rooting and flash a custom rom on p5100, everything is OK. Become responsive. So I believe Samsung touchwiz on ics might be the cause of the problem.

Yeah me too not satisfied with the samsung touch wiz...but I don't think I am having problem with touch screen...though it is not as smooth as with iPhone 4...

Do you have a screen protector on? Mine was crappy with it on, so i removed it.
Sent from my GT-P3113 using Tapatalk 2

Had this problem when I was on Stock. Not dead touch points but it was more like an inability to sense my touch due to lag due to touchwiz. Changing to nova launcher helped... And then.... Tried CM9 rom and all is well. Not sure if you wanna take that route but for me... It worked. I am a happy camper!

Is there a way to calibrate the screen on the T2 10.1?

After 10 minutes of reckless racing 2, the screen gets unresponsive, i think it might be something to do with the battery or cpu getting hot, I am using the stock modified rom from metallice

Nexus 7 heating issue?

I have noticed that my games have been Slightly choppier and that it has SLIGHTY more lag , and that after I loosened the left side screws, it heats up anymore. Does anyone know the average heat, and an app to track it. Ad ideas? Thanks

Anyone? Thanks

You have installed slightly more apps. Things running in background will make it choppier.
Even my cellphone gets hot... Stored charge in battery converts to heat as you use it.
Should never get so hot it is uncomfortable to hold. Chaos and Order gets mine warm.

Okay. Thanks

[Q] Touch up paint for the silver edges of N7

Does anyone know of any touch up paint for the silver lining of the N7
I have a seriously minor scrape on it that is like half a cm, but every time I look at it it freaks me out haha...
I am one of those people that freaks out about scratches and what not on devices and anything else for that matter...
So if anyone has any suggestions that is much appreciated!

Best way would be an auto shop and match up the paint. It is a little expensive but will probably last longer... else use nail polish.
