Lately my phone has been randomly be getting a glitch where the screen looks like its trying to scroll to another page (as if im scrolling through my home screen). Most noteabley is that the notification bar extends on and has orange text, also I should say it only glitches/slide to the right. I can recreate this event if I open snapchat and scroll over the friends tab. I believe it might have somthing to do with the notification bar though I have yet to find anyone with a fix. Does anyone have an idea what I could do?

So i have been modding my phone for a month now and have found several bugs that make thinks kind of difficult. I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace 3 (GT-S7275R) and installed the Cyanogen 12.1 mod and latest kernel from Kotzir. The problem is when i get a notification in the drop down menu, it overlaps with the menu and the other notifications. I understand that the transparent theme may cause this "trick" of hiding the notification behind a menu may cause it to appear behind it, but it should scroll with the menu anyways. And besides that, in the notification area the notifications overlap as well. The standard music app even has 2 notifications overlap itself. So i think there is something wrong with the grid of the notifications? Some counter that's stuck or something? Other than that, the phone is really stable and battery life has extended by 150% so i am happy, but i don't like to have to manually open every app to see what is going on, even more so if you can only open it by the notification like USB settings and such.
(i would like to post pictures but since i am new here i have to make 10 post before i can. i will as soon as i can, sorry for that)
Thanks in advance
Nevermind
This from can be closed, i moved over to android 6.0 CM13. It doesn't have the problem.
However a bit more information for other people who want to stay at the CM12.1:
1: The problem seemed to happen whenever more then one app had a notification. Just one app after a fresh reboot didn't cause anything.
2: If you pressed where the icons should be, you would still select it. This means it was just rendered wrong. This would mean the grid is fine, but there is a bugg in drawing the notifications properly.
3: Sometimes the menu would freeze and the animation would hang but the menu would still be pushed upwards when swiped up. The menu would freeze causing you to only see a stripe with a half gear and the other icons but just at the top.
4: The clock becomes visible after turning the screen 90 degrees either way.
5: Restarting the GUI via the settings menu should solve the problem. The icons still work just image swiping down with your eyes closed. swipe all the way down and press the gear icon to open settings.
Thanks to the admin who placed it to the correct category anyways.
have a nice day everyone ^^

I've been noticing that when I get a brand new text, if I try to see it by double touching on it from the lock screen, it disappears, as if I never got the message. And even when I open the messaging app, the text still won't be there. Wondering if anyone else has this problem? And is there a way around it or fix it?
We have a thread already about Textra's send button not working properly because the app thinks you're tapping about a centimeter below it, but I've found similar glitches in other apps - FX File Explorer, for instance, has a menu at the top-right that pops up under the status bar. It seems to me these problems are being caused by apps somehow confusing the tap location by counting from the top of the screen instead of the bottom of the status bar. I'm guessing this has something to do with the fact that the phone *tries* as much as possible to get apps to draw to the top of the screen, under the status bar, and things go wrong when they won't. The most obvious fix, short of getting every developer to look into this or waiting for Essential to do something about it, would be to find a way to make the status bar work more traditionally, with apps not allowed to draw past the bottom of it. The question is, can we achieve that? I've had a look through the system/global/secure settings lists and nothing status bar related pops out at me there, so I'm thinking the next place to look is in the framework code, which I'll do this evening...but I thought I'd toss a thread up and see if anyone had other ideas.
When a website changes the stock address bar to anything other than white, I am unable to swipe to scroll to the next tab.
For instance, androidpolice.com changes the address bar to blue and I am unable to swipe to another tab, left or right.
Anyone else experiencing the same or willing to try to replicate?
I'm seeing the same issues. I did reach out to Essential support but haven't heard from them yet.

I had this problem but once I used the whitelist editor app it went away. I had to also disable my navbar in chrome but I was able to pull down to switch tabs on every website after that. If you need the navbar back just swipe up from the bottom.
I've noticed something similar with my Facebook app. When you try to pull up on the bar at the bottom of the app it immediately snaps back and will not allow you to access anything within it.
I found that Chrome Beta has no issues with scrolling, as colored address bars does not extend into the status bar as they do in Chrome.
What's weird is that I tried this - https://forum.xda-developers.com/es...ured-how-to-make-camera-flush-status-t3682107 and it fixed the chrome issue
This app has appeared on my home screen after I updated numerous apps from Google Play.
I can find no information about it. No idea what it does. It does not appear in Settings - Apps nor does it have a widget. I've attached a screenshot of my home screen when the app is started. It adds a curved set of lines across the lower part of the screen and a icon in top right corner that when pressed, returns the screen to its original form.
Can anyone share information about this app?
I've had this exact same thing happen. Weirdly, this posting is the only thing I can find *anywhere* on the internet. It doesn't show up when I display the apps in Application Manager, which is pretty bizarre (and it's not sorted in alphabetical order in my app drawer).
Do you use GoLauncher? They've been touting something about making icons dance when you shake the phone, though that's not *quite* the behavior we see here.
Interestingly (and a bit scarily), when I long-pressed on it to delete it - it disappeared rather than displaying with the 'x' in the corner that would let me uninstall it.
An update: I re-sorted my app drawer again and it appeared. When I long-pressed and then pressed the X to uninstall it, I got a message saying "You will not be able to use the shortcut in App Drawer anymore, sure to delete it?".
I'm 99.999% sure this is more odd behavior from Go Launcher - which has become more annoying with every new release, to the point where I'm considering getting rid of it (sudden ads on lockscreen? Sudden pulldown notifications blocking the screen with no way to get rid of 'em?).
I can't imagine a *less* useful shortcut for them to offer, honestly!
I Agee. I have Go Launcher also and I have the same mystery app on my home screen. My daughter thinks it's pretty cool!
