Has anyone had this issue with orange colored "bars" at the bottom and sometimes side of your screen? The stock colors on the S3 are a light blue. For instance, if you are in your messaging app and scroll to the bottom, try to "overscroll" and you will see the light blue bar that I am talking about. It is polished and nice. However, after flashing the AOSP mms apk for TW, I have these orange nasty bars instead, and they flicker a bit. Something in the flash went wrong. I tried reverting to stock TW messaging apk, and it still does it. I cleared all caches, fixed permissions, etc, but it is still there. I know a fresh wipe and install would fix it (CleanRom 5.6), but I really don't feel like doing that. Any suggestions?
Here is a screen shot.

I was wondering if anyone has had this happen before? I was just on my Captivate checking a few apps out and then all of a sudden the screen froze for a few seconds and all the icons disappeared and only the wallpaper was left displayed. During that time I was tapping the screen and whatnot wondering what happened and it stayed frozen like this for maybe 30 seconds before it finally came back to life, but I then noticed that whatever icons were displayed on the left side of the status bar turned grey and also when I pull down the menu from the bar it is also grey in color now.
Also I've noticed that the settings menu seems greyer as well. Does anyone have a way to fix this and bring the color back as the grey looks pretty crappy. I'm using Darky's 9.2 rom right now.
Edit: now that I'm looking at it more, it seems like ALL of the menus in all my apps now are greyed. Where before it use to be in color now everything is a dull grey?!
Can anyone help please??
Master Reset. Something (maybe a messed up app?) screwed up the graphics of your phone so if just restarting (... you DID try turning it off and back on, right?) doesn't work then just back up and master reset.
I'm guessing that you have tried rebooting, but if not try that. If that doesn't work flash to stock using Odin and if it still isn't fixed then try to get a replacement.
Did quite a bit of searching before i finally gave in.
Normally i almost religiously back up everything...this time i did not...obviously...or i would be reflashing and simply reinstalling
now i did not brick my Samsung vitality, I am not that stupid...however i did try out metamorph being bored...and its really a small issue but something i cant for the life of me get rid of...
on the swipe down notifications bar the stock battery color is green...well mine is blue...and currently the text in the notification area...is dark grey on black...so i have to tilt the phone to see anything.
anybody have any ideas on how i can fix this? or have just a basic stock rom for the samsung vitality.
there should be a notification bar color changer metamorph file for your phone
maybe even a text color changer
yeah its the text thats killing me, here sec lemme get a photo of it.
picture added its the black text on daaaark grey background, i just need to figure out how to change that text color to white
edit 2 picture is in edit box. wont let me post it otherwise.
fixed it, i think it was an issue with the framework not installing before a reset on metamorph, thanks for the assistance
Hello.
Does anyone noticed any issues with semi-transparent overlays (alpha channel transparency).
In ES File Explorer in the address bar when it scrolls sdcard information, on both sides of the address bar it shows blinking black boxes, they are supposed to be white, simulating dissolving letters that passing under them. This doesn't happen all the time, but I'd say 80% of the time.
In SpeedTest the rectangulars under the speedometer are white covering whatever information they supposed to show.
This also happens in other application's settings, when text is too long and getting trimmed by fading away to the side, so the part that's fading away become dark colored sticking out as a broken font.
Anyone else experience this?

I've seen some text color issues, but the issues I see are the same as what I saw with my Desire HD running ICS. That being said, the speed test thing on mine works fine and I can see the boxes perfect. Did you root? Did you change to Rogers or put another RUU other than whats stock OTA on yours?
Yes, I did root and yes, it's was happening on stock rom and now on 1.82 RUU. I shall see tonight if it does the same with just fresh 1.82 without the root.
If the issue persists, what do you think could possibly cause it? (If you are certain that the boxes on each side of the speed numbers after the test are showing the graphs as supposed to)
I found what's causing it: Settings -> Developer options -> Force GPU rendering
Disabling that option fixes issue with transparency.
Any ideas if this is hardware related or software?
Since I have had my s3, i notice sometimes in my status bar i get ghosted images of my icons. For example, I have tasker installed with the ongoing notification. Sometimes when the icons change, a ghost image appears of the tasker icon, even behind a new icon. Its not just tasker, its any of the icons in my status bar on the left side. They go away eventually. Wondering if others have the same issue.
Edit- just noticed it happens on the entire status bar, left to right.
Yea it happened to me on synergy.i was running that fancy theme with aroma installer... Synergy got too bloated for my taste. Cleanrom is great.
What rom do you have
VZW GALAXY S 3 4G LTE
Currently on Synergy. I thought Cleanrom was odex, I like being able to theme my phone, seems like most themes are designed for Synergy.
Ive had this happen to me on stock. It occurs randomly and the one time I really noticed it was after updating some apps in the market. Goes away just as randomly. I hope this doesnt become a more persistent bug.
I have asked in the original thread how to fix this issue since December but no one has replied. Does anyone know how to fix this issue with the modified launcher? The white Halo appears after a reboot. It goes away once you update the launcher and uninstall. The yellow screen in the settings never goes away.
Never seen something like that sorry

I tried to make my screen look like yours and was not able to get it exactly the same...but I wonder if you have a certain combination of conflicting settings going on here? When you go to settings > system > Accessibility... there are two settings in here called Color correction, and Color inversion. Using these with a light, or dark theme and having night mode with a manual screen color calibration under the display settings could render your screen yellow. Is it only the settings screen that is that yellow or is there any other "white" screens that look yellow? Also, the highlight color can be changed to whatever you want which would make the lettering red as it is on your settings screen. So, my suggestion would be to go through all these various settings to see if somehow things got all screwed up. YMMV
