This is starting to really frustrate me now!
When applying a background to my phone, weather it be from the Gallery or integrated wallpapers, sometimes it will jump around on the homescreen. For example I will be in an app, press the home button and on going to the home screen the wallpaper will momentarily zoom in then zoom back out to normal. As this is happening the phone has excessive lag.
I've tried to isolate the issue, thought it might be a bad factory reset but my sister is over this weekend and hers is the same! it doesn't happen when running any applications in particular, it's literally random but when it starts doing it it will keep doing it. Restarting the phone doesn't fix.

Weird. I'm on stock and everything is fine... Try downloading a different launcher for now and see if it still happens. Doesn't have to be permanent, this is just for testing purposes.

Get a logcat too if you can. I probably won't be able to read it, but hopefully somebody with more experience will wander by.

I should know this but been out of the game for a long time, how do I go about getting a logcat? Managed to get a video of it, just transferring it to my phone now.
I heard someone else mentioning they were having these issues, they put it down to an update with google Search, however google Search has since been updated and the issues are persisting.

It's all good. First you'll need adb to be installed. I usually run adb on ubuntu, so I'm not experienced with windows commands.
On ubuntu. open terminal, connect phone, make sure usb debugging is enabled. You'll probably recieve a warning about an RSA fingerprint, which you will accept. Then in terminal, do
sudo su
adb start-server
now cd into whatever directory you want to store your logcat in
Once in the directory, run "adb logcat -v long > wallpaper.txt"
Reporduce the problem
Kill the logcat
Open the text file that was created
Either upload the file or pastebin it and post the link
Done!

Doesn't that require root? Not 100% how to do that though, I used to be pretty good with ADB but unfortunately that was back in the Desire days and I've not really been into rooting since I got my HOX last year I change devices too much. Anyway, here is the video documenting the issue.

And you said your entire family is experiencing this? Ok go to about phone and tap Build Number a bunch of times. Should activate dev settings. Just see if you can get adb to work at all. I'm not certain whether it requires root or not. It confuses me that your family all has this problem, but it hasn't been reported by the rest of the Nexus 5 users around the world...

Well I have to go out right now but I will try when I get back in. I'll do a Google Search and see if i can find how to.
You could try wiping data for your Home launcher. Just go to Settings/ Apps then swipe to " All" tab and open Google Search. Wipe its data and it will reset your launcher to default. See if it still persists.
I'd say it's because the launcher wasn't designed to have many additional screens as shown.
Looks like it's redrawing the launcher after leaving and returning to it.
Try getting rid of the extra home screens and retest.

that's alright, I was just stating what I had read else where.?
My phone phone was doing this, but I figured out that it was an issue with how you zoom or place the wallpaper when applying it. When I applied with zedge, it was causing problems. Are you using a 3rd party app to find and apply wallpapers? Try switching by long-pressing a blank area on your home screen, and hitting wallpaper.

I actually just managed to replicate it. To fix it, try this... First select one of the stock wallpapers that came with the phone, using the stock method I mentioned above. Then test, your problem should be 100 percent gone. Then go to change your wallpaper back to the one you want, but do NOT select it from where it is on the bottom bar. Hit 'pick image' and then choose the wallpaper you want. Before you hit the check mark in the upper left hand corner, make sure the wallpaper is centered and fully zoomed out. That should fix it.

been playing around with build.prop tweaks today. here's some that i have had good results with:
setting dalvik to 64
yes, that's high, but, switching screens on the homescreen has been a lot smother. you may have some issues with smaller apps, if so, try a lower setting. stock is 42, 48 may work good if you have a lot of smaller apps.
i also added these, so far so good, no problems. these are older tweaks, but they seem to be working here, but it's hard to tell
Code:
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1
locks home in memory
Code:
ro.media.enc.JPEG.quality=100
makes pics display at 100% quality
Code:
debug.sf.hw=1
enables hardware rendering of UI and home
take caution when editing build.prop. the file is located /system
do not delete or change anything else if you don't know what you're really doing.
debug.sf.nobootanimation=1
Disables the boot animations

Not sure. You will still have the android boot animation. You just won't have the AT&T boot animation
Sent from my MB865 using XDA App
I tried using the these settings and it bricked my phone. Just FYI for anyone thinking of trying them out.
I think it has to do with the hardware rendering setting, because when I boot the video is very distorted and slow. It then goes black and vibrates every few seconds and I can't get it back. Restore to factory default was no help at all.
Any thoughts on how I might get this thing running again?
here's the stock build.prop
if the device will power on, extract it from this zip and try to adb push it to /system
not sure how these settings would brick your phone though. are you sure you added them to build.prop and not default.prop? did you change anything else in build.prop?
Yeah, I only added the options listed in the forum post, and didn't change anything else.
The first thing I tried was shelling into the phone using adb, but it didn't work at all in the state the phone was in. After restoring to factory defaults I was able to boot and get the initial setup screen for the phone where it asks you to add your email accounts, etc., but when clicking "done" the app would crash and restart effectively locking me out of the phone.
I'm assuming the crash is because I de-bloated the phone previously, and maybe it's missing a system library? Who knows.
In any case it looks like I may be taking a trip to the AT&T store

Did you use a text editor on the phone or on a computer? If you use one that word wraps it will fubar the whole thing.

i used an on the phone editor. windows editors will wreck it, linux editors are fine with build.prop though. not sure what the member who bricked his phone used.

I did in fact use my phone to edit the build.props file (instead of using adb shell). I used the text editor feature of root explorer. I didn't notice the text wrap on the screen or anything like that when I was typing. I suppose that could've been the culprit.

That's one thing I hope can be modded once the bootloader gets unlocked. My X10 showed the contact pics the top 1/3rd of the screen and the quality was very good, would be nice to see something similar on this phone.

I am waiting on the latest files to finish uploading then will test on my SGS3 and report.
So i'm running a stock rom rooted. Installed and checked permissions and they seem to be fine.
When i run the voice search app, if it comes up and doesn't automatically come up waiting for my speech i have to click on the search bar and then it will work. The voice search works without an issue and comes up, and the Google Now Cards work as far as a i can tell the same way they were working when i was running the CM10 Rom.
I haven't found any negatives beyond the sketchy voice start up yet, but just in case don't forget to BACKUP!!!
Yes! Can't wait to try this! Now I can wait for cm10's bugs to be fixed
---------- Post added at 07:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:28 AM ----------
Double tapping home brings me to a dialer, but adding a search widget to the home screen and clicking the voice buttons brings up cards perfect. W00t!
when i double tap to bring it up, it doesn't recognize me talking, so it says 'didn't catch that'. when i go to the app itself from the search bar, i can tap the mic once and it recognizes everything i say, but when i tap the mic to do another search, it won't activate without hitting refresh.
i'm using the mikeyxda version 2
Yeah I installed this and my voice search app got all messed up, kept saying "I didnt catch that" even though I said nothing. Also i couldnt back out of the app once in it with the back button, I had to go to home then kill it with task mngr. I cant wait for all the bugs to get worked out cuz I really liked Now. Keep us posted.
They have updated the original post to include new instructions and an updated file. I flashed the file last night and most of my little issues are fixed.
I still have the issue where i cant back out and have to go back using the home button.
I would say if you are having issues where it doesnt understand what you are saying double check your permissions and make sure your 'voice search' that comes up is a white screen and not a black or dark box. The dark box is still your old voice search.
I don't see any updates on there. You're talking about the link in your original post right?

Maybe I'm missing a setting somewhere, but my cards only work when I'm on wifi... is this how Google Now is supposed to work? The voice search works great with or without wifi.
I am using the newest files Mikeyxda's version 6. When I'm not on wifi, the cards try refreshing but nothing comes up.
Should I try deleting the older zip file? What is the best way to delete the older file and any data that comes with it?
EDIT: Now it seems to be working... strange.
Voice was working fine for me, but the app still would freeze up from time to time. Trying to enter a simple web search into the search box though for the web causes it to hang and do nothing 95% of the time for me.
Trying to get this to work and going thru all these different threads with different links has been one of the most confusing things I've ever done regarding my phone. Rooting was easier. Can someone please pm me when there is a fully working Now app. I'm done trying.

I'll keep it short for now and update this topic start as needed.
Here you can find instructions on downloading & installing a preliminary version of Cyanogenmod 10 for Alcatel OT-995.
I'm fairly happy with the progress I've made recently, though it should not be considered stable. Some features are known to be broken, for others it's your job to point out missing functionality.
Links of interest:
Installation instructions
Downloads
Installation instructions
Changelog
Issue tracker
Source code
Please read the installation instructions carefully
Most basic device functionality should be working. A list of known issues (incomplete):
Video mode camera overlay may bug; workaround: launch regular camera, switch to video
Occasional artifcats on window transitions
Hardware video decoding is unavailable, use MX Player or VLC instead.
Not implemented: HDMI out, FM radio
The custpack partition is used to store /system/app, that's why a separate CWM images is required to install CM10 releases. This also means it's backup/restore functionality is currently broken. Advanced backup might allow you to just backup/restore /data though.
You may mention any broken functionality here, but I prefer receiving an issue report here, as that allows me to keep track of things more easily.
Do check whether your specific issue has already been reported, and try to be as detailed as possible.
You should be comfortable flashing/recovering your device - if not, this might not be for you yet - wait until we smoothen things out
Bring on the feedback. I'm sure I missed something in the guides or release.
Disclaimer: I'm still working on a best-effort basis, every now and then my spare time is severely limited..
Nice - nice indeed.
many thanks for taking time and developing for ot 995.
it was just today that i had installed ics and now this??? my lucky day...
anyway, will help you in reporting bugs.... keep rocking.....
extra great news ! Iuss, i'm downloading it right now and flashing it Thank you very much for this release (even though is preliminary)
EDIT: I flashed it. Booting was quick. I was setting the phone and i restarted the phone.
So at first touch everything looks nice
- Scrolling is a bit strange (is scroll downward the screen goes up).
- The phone is charging and the LED is not lit.
- Camera works (photos, video, and panorama with some greenish overlay).
- Data not working. Confirmed.
- Wifi works
Tnx again iuss!
Thanks for the hard work, I'm sure this will be WAY better than Alcatel's ICS release. Just love me some jellybeans :silly:
Just booting it up now. Nice boot logo, I haven't seen that one before. Yours?
Yes, thanks very very much!

Testing it right now
First of all. Fantastic job! Well done! I tested the rom.
My experience was
# My camera and video worked pretty good. It took pictures and video was working. Maybe a little problem with the focus on Video. And some greenish with the transition between taken picture and camera.
# Wifi, Phone works
# No Data/3G
# Led Backlight keys dosen't work when u wake the phone up from sleep. But if u change the light settings the Keys lights up, and works.
# Multi touch works good and responsive.
Thanks alot an keep up the good work!
It seems very nice, but I'm confused because I was asked to unlock my sim again which was done when I bought it months ago, and it didn't even work with that code. What could be the cause, and would it work if I went back to ICS?

You should adjust the settings for your screen brightness. What i did was that I used the quick settings widget. There's an option for brightness click that one, and the backlight keys should light up.

Iuss, CM10 is great. It has a few quirks, but so far I am loving it.
I have run into one issue, I can't create a Google account. I ran recovery, booted CM10, and went to create my Google account under System settings > Accounts and there is no option for Google, just Corporate and Email. Am I missing something?
I was able to manually download Titanium and restore many of my apps, but several won't load. That's too be expected though. But being able to create a Google account is pretty important to me.
If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

Did you flash gapps? If not do that,then see if you're still not able to start your account. I flashed it before I booted for the first time and not only did I get prompted to start/login to an account, most of my apps were reinstalled.

tumaini418, yes, I did (I followed iuss' instructions including the download links). Another odd thing that has happened is I have lost the ability to access SD Card through USB.
Fortunately I backed ICS before setting CM10, so I was able to Recover back to ICS, and I suddenly have access to my SD Card again. I'm going to stay with ICS for tomorrow as I must have a working phone, but I'll try ICS again later this weekend.

That was supposed to work, seems I had my brightness control set to 'half' (or whatever it is) - then it does work. Will replace the proprietary liblights - it appears to be broken and/or depend on framework hacks.

iuss concerning the phone asking for a sim pin. I got the same thing when switching from airplane mode. It's a popup. I tried to enter a pin I used in the screen lock before, but of course that wasn't it. It's very confusing because my sim has never had a pin to unlock it.

I'm getting the same thing, mostly when playing a game. Will flash for a split second. Not sure what's causing it.
I don't think it's a virus tho.
Maybe its problem with system or launcher? I haven't found anything like that on internet or how to slove this
Mine is doing the same thing as well. I think at least for me it's because my RAM is getting close to making out.
Same problem
I have the same problem. Has anyone got any hints at least? It's very annoying and no other phone seems to have it.

I'm having the same issue. Screen goes kinda white for half a second and looks as it would start an app, but then goes back to what app you just had opened.
It is not a constant flickering or flashing, as reported from Samsung and other Devices and which is documented via Videos on the Net.
It would be hard to film it, as I haven't been able to reproduce thus behaviour.
When I play a game (King of Avalon) and when I'm just typing and that issue occurs, the typed text is gone. Luckily it doesn't happen while typing on WhatsApp or other apps with text features.
A while back it was almost gone, but then came back, without me having changed the app Setup.
I will reset the phone and see, if it comes back.
I still think it's an issue brought up from apps that use the GPU a lot.
Have tried different settings the Developer Options from Android (Disable HW-Overlay,...) but it didn't help.
Will report, once I have resetted, but will take a while, until I have time for testing.

Hey, I also had this problem, it helped me change the language in voice search to English and turn off "ok google". I use the phone in a different language and I also had it in voice search.
Hello fellow HTC u11 life friends -
I found this thread by Googling, so hopefully others will find it too. I have also been having this very annoying problem for several weeks. Can't remember when exactly it started. Was it after an Android update?
This problem appears to be related to the Google app settings on the phone, as the previous poster suggested. When I read his post, I went to the Google app settings (Setting --> Apps --> Google) and didn't see anything out of the ordinary, but I noticed that there is a setting called Display over other apps. This was set to "yes" by default, so I changed it to "no". Since I made this change yesterday, I have not had the white screen flash once.
It seems like the Google app is being triggered briefly for whatever reason and then closing. By not allowing the app to display over others, if the app is triggered, you won't get that brief white screen like the app is about to open. At least, that's what I think. Fingers crossed the fix holds. I hope this works for others. Let me know!

Before I call you a genius, I still have to wait a bit (and of course hoping)
I just turned off different things in the Google App "show notification for ***"
In this case *** was for Price Alert, stocks alert, sports alert and so on.
Furthermore I disabled the "display over other Apps" as well.
I could imagine that this latter feature doesn't have to be turned off completely, rather than turning off all those useless alerts for stuff I've never even looked for.
Will try to go the next days to see, if that blinking is gone and if soy trying to activate the feature with almost no alerts in order to determine, what the exact culprit is.
Disabling the feature totally might do it, but if for example some alerts were useful, then it would be nice, if at least they worked out as supposed to.
Will keep you guys posted.
Fingers crossed ^^

Did turn off not only for Google but silenced many other apps as well, but still flashes.
Just deactivated "Display over other Apps" in YouTube. Maybe that helps.
Will report, if that helped.

Tried this method and so far (1h) no flashes. Sounds reasonable, that Google is trying to send some notices to the screen and that functionality is somehow bugged. I'm fine with turning off ok, Google. Have never used it anyway. [emoji28]

Had to think at least 3 times which kinda "room" you meant, and why a room should affect a smartphone [emoji848] Then I got it rom != room [emoji16]

The white screens interval increesed and taking foto's was sometimes difficult because white screens passed by a few times per taking a foto.
Now I received 8.1 and no white screens till now (20h)

Are you using the built in Camera, or some app?
I got 8.1 too but no changes. Have to admit I'm using Google Cam Port. Might be that, because otherwise I've turned off kinda all notifications, but it's still flashing.
As mentioned earlier, I should do a full wipe and use the built in cam and such, but I don't really like it.
I'll see, when I find the time to wipe and set it up again...

I am using the built in Camera. Two days 8.1 and not a single white flash. Before the update 8.1 I had it not only with the camera app but very random. I hope you will find a solution. I found it very annoying.

I really have no clue, which app causes those issues. Will try the built-in cam for testing.
If it still persists, I really have to reset the phone.
Thx. I'll find a way and yes, it's pretty much annoying

After 4 days a minor white flash returns during scrolling for apps in the app store. I immidiately implemented the above quoted solution and since then no white flash. :fingers-crossed: :fingers-crossed:

Just turned it off. Didn't think about the system processes before.
Will report, if anything changed. Thx for that hint so far, sounds promising

Updated to Pie. The split screen option is not in the menu no matter what app I try it with. I've checked every place I could think of in Good Lock, Nova Launcher & Samsung settings & can't find anything that would be preventing it. I even tried under Samsung Launcher & had the same result. If anyone has any ideas, please share.

If you have a specific app that you need to use in Multu-window with YouTube, you can also use the apps edge panel to open the pair simultaneously.

Thanks, but as you can see from the picture I posted, I know how to do it. The problem is the split screen option is not available.

I tried a few things but couldn't replicate what you are experiencing. Are you running Good Lock? I know it has a feature that modifies multi window, but I don't know if it would cause the issue you have.
Did you take the ota directly from the carrier? Or did you flash the new pie update? Mine came from the carrier last Thursday. Today, I backed up everything and did a factory reset and it feels like it's running smoother. Maybe that could fix your issue.
Turns out it was a bug in Good Lock's Multistar. They pushed an update last night that fixed the problem for me. Thanks to all for trying to help.
