[Q] Screen Flickering & DPI mod - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Had my Nexus 7 for 24 hours know & its amazing but the I've only just noticed that sometimes my screen flickers & I have to lock & unlocked my nexus 7 to stop it, is this due to the DPI mod I'm using to give me a TabletUI or is this a fault?
Thanks in advance

Seems like its a problem regarding tegra 3 devices. It should be fixed in a rom update eventually.

Take the brightness control out of Auto and see if it helps

Mine seems to flicker only when using Tapatalk. I haven't seen it do this on the home screen, browser or when playing games at all but every time I use tapatalk I see it at least once.
*edit* I also remember seeing it flicker when using the Facebook app.

Screen timeout

I can't find how to adjust this, must stay on for at least 1 minute before going off and locking.
How do I do it?

Weird graphic corruption

Every once in awhile my navbar turns into some weird graphic corruption in some apps for a few seconds. Anyone else experience this?

Lag

Hi
I'm experiencing small quantities of lag on my nexus. It's barely noticeable , but it tends to get irritating from time to time. Mainly it happens when I'm installing an app and simultaneously trying to scroll through the screens. It also tends to appear when scrolling between widgets, between text predictions an so forth. I've installed seeder and lagfix but they cannot solve the issue completely. For comparison I am not experiencing this on my Acer iconia a110, everything runs smoothly there. I read that the problem might be coming from the higher resolution display - 1280x800 as compared to the lower 1024x600 display on the acer but I'm not completely sure. Have any of you experienced that type of lag on your devices ? Please advice on what might be the solution.
Running rooted device on android 4.2.1 stock rom

I've been told if your force GPU rendering in the developer setting then that does away with almost all scrolling lag.

Flash smoothrom or super charge from. Stock sucks
Along with disabling Google currents and flashing motley kernel.

Now it just stays on the google logo and does nothing, furthermore it doesn't show as adb and it is not recognized as a device on my PC. Any ideas on how to unbrick it ?
Managed to unbrick it by flashing the "bricked" kernel and again the smoothrom

New Headphones Disconnected toast

Today I noticed that when I unplug my headphones I get a toast saying that it was disconnected.
This thing occurred today so maybe Google did what Sony did and pushed a few modified files over to all the Nexus 4's on stock without any OTA's or anything like nothing happened.
Does anyone with the stock rom get this today?
Go to http://flic.kr/p/fb5Uiy for screenshot.
Cannot upload image to XDA anymore for some reason.

I haven't seen that toast. It could be coming from an app you have installed and not the OS. Perhaps the Zoner AV you have installed.

Your right, It is the Music Tagging app, I just greenified it so it will not occur again.
This is what happens when you think too hard when there is a simple fix.

Clearly not from stock software, hardware icons go to the right with WiFi and BT.

What hardware buttons?, I am using the Google-all-clean-stock rom.
Bluetooth is off so the icon does not show which is completely normal since Android 1.5.

I never said buttons. On my G1 there use to be a headset icon indicating headphones, I can't recall if my other android devices had it tho. The BT icon was an example to emphasize where hardware based icons go relative to the status bar.

The Nexus 4 never had the headset icon, I know what you mean because I seen it on my hard bricked LG GT540.

That is Google Music, you can still have that icon without earphones.
That is for changing songs from the notifications bar.

Installed this so big thanks to gnotelover, but one question.. How can I add more homescreens?

Select an app or widget, and then move it to the right of the home screen and keep going. A new screen will appear.

You need to move the icon to the edge of the screen to the right, hold it there for a little. It should automatically take you to a new screen.
Thanks guys, human error... I was trying to do it with a widget, but it works with an app, not a widget..

Is this Google Now Launcher the same as the 0.10.1.920880?
Or what is the version number for this new one?

Thanks Jhall8. Do you also happen to know how to stretch wallpapers too? I can't get any wallpaper to fill up the screen even very large high def images.

Thanks again. I've tried that already but didn't bode well with my favorite walls. Tried clearing data in Google search got rid of the black bar on the right of the wallpaper but stretched way too much. Oh well.
Can anyone confirm whether the latest version of Google Search and/or the latest Google Now launcher goes back to the 6 x6 grid that Google search version 3.1.8920880.arm had? Every time I tried updating to new Search version it cuts off one of the columns which throws my whole homescreen setup and wigets off. I think the updates cut it to only 5 columns
