[Q] Graphics glitching - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anybody know how to fix this Nexus 5 screen glitch problem? I filmed it, watch it here: http://youtu.be/LuNVEJineYw
It's not my phone, so I don't know what could have caused this. It happens more often when the graphics are used more intensively. Please ask whatever you might need to know to maybe fix this. Thanks!

Stock ROM, stock kernel, rooted (cf autoroot), game = Angry Birds Star Wars 2 free. glitches happen in every app, also home screen, but more cpu / GPU intensive = more glitching. No xposed, no other mods. By the way, this is after a factory reset and the problem persists. I don't know what you mean by "is the fps disabled".

you can also disable the frames per second limit of 60 that our device has. but when you do that, graphics will glitch and tear. if you factory reset, then its not enabled for sure. it can possibly be a hardware issue, since i get 0 glitches in any game.

Sixaxis Touch Emulation profiles compilation

Greetings!
I made one post about a Nova 3 profile and someone suggest creating a thread just to share these profiles and I think it is fantastic idea for our Galaxy Note so here it is.
I only have one right now, and it is not really that excellent but I am going to be working on more and keep adding them of course.
But I wanted to get it started so..if you want to share yours...please do.
Here is a youtube guide I did for anyone not sure on how to create them.
It is a basic guide but it gives you an idea
Youtube Guide
To use the Profiles with Sixaxis, just unzip the file to the \sdcard\data\com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontro ller\profiles folder.
Game Videos from my youtube channel:
Max Payne
Nova 3
You need to include what dpi your phone is.
Touch profiles on 320dpi may not work on for instance 240dpi.
Especially Paranoid Users.

Thanks. I am running stock DPI at the moment. I used to run lower DPI on my captivate and really liked it so maybe I need to try on this one too.
Max Payne Profile added and a youtube HD video preview is uploading as well.
Maybe its my dpi, but Max Payne controls aren't all mapped. There is no jump or information/interact button.
Could be. Im running stocky dpi, sorry.
What controls are supposed to do what?
For Max Payne very basic, left analog moves you around and right one is the camera control then triangle is for using the slow-motion then square fires and Cross is for jumping. I didn't add anything else.
The Dark Knight Rises profile added.

I need one bro...was trying to make one but its all messed up
can someone upload for dead trigger?
Dead Trigger profile (320 DPI)
I've made it so it's more like FPS controls on the PS3.
Fire: R1
Aim: L1
Reload: Circle
Pause: Start
Health: Triangle (may not work if you have more than one item in use)
Remember to check "Enable Gamepad" in the SixAxis settings.
Just remove ".zip" by renaming the file. It's not a zip file.
Edit: Added GTA3 profile.

Stock DPI can mean anything.
I know you mean to say 320 dpi, which the NOTE ships with.
You should include it in the OP.
Anyways I wanted to ask what HD games are worth getting?
-GTA 3 and Dead Trigger are high on the agenda.
Is Nova3 captivating, or is it a little dull. Reviews on YouTube aren't so great, that's why I ask. What games do you need ChainFire3D and do they work smooth on regular setup (1.4GHz, any kernel/rom).
Cheers

[APP][2.2+]Magic Fluids - fluid and particles animation (works as regular app or LWP)

Magic Fluids is a beautiful fluid simulation that you initiate and drive with your touch.
It enables creativity and allows to relax and enjoy smooth fluid motion.
Key features:
- Highly configurable fluid behaviour and look
- 10 configuration presets - if you're lazy
- You can save your own presets
- Multitouch controls
- Smoke and water animation
- Thousands of particles moving with the fluid
- You can pause the animation anytime and save screenshots
- You can use Magic Fluids as a regular app or as a Live Wallpaper
- Highly optimized, multiple quality settings for wide range of devices
Fluids of multiple colors mix and create beautiful patterns. Particles are a great addition to visuals.
It features two animation modes: smoke (classic) and water. The second one is not really a water - it's a little fake (as everything in computer graphics anyway), but behaves really differently than smoke - pressure and movement propagate through in a real liquid-like manner.
It has lots of configuration options and a great thing is, you can edit options and see changes instantly, because settings window AND fluid simulation are visible and active at the same time.
You can set fluid amount, fade speed, color palettes (or random colors) and a few more. The same for particles.
It also has mutiple fluid presets that present configuration diversity, if you don't want to manipulate settings manually.
There is a possibility to save your own presets, too.
I spend quite a lot of time on optimization. Add multiple quality options and you have an app that should work great on a wide range of devices.
I've added QR code to make it easier for you to find my app.
If you have any questions or comments, I'll be happy to answer.

Thanks a lot for your comment!
Guys, I'm looking for more feedback and suggestions, since I want to make Magic Fluids better and suit you as well as possible.
I've added more and better quality screenshots and QR code. Searching Google Play for "Magic Fluids" gives correct result on the first position too.
This thing is sick! Seems like it doesn't kill battery like normal lwps! Thanks.

How many cores can this app make use of?
I have a Galaxy Note 2 and I wasn't able to put the quality as high as I'd anticipated. I know the 4412 isn't the most powerful chip available anymore, same goes for the GPU, but I thought I could do better than, "The Jury's Still Out" with no paint, full line particles at minimum lifetime and size.

Thanks for your comment.
App uses as many cores as you have. The highest settings however, are not supposed to work well with any of the devices currently available. They were rather thought to serve as the "Holy Grail" of performance. But you're already the second person disappointed that can't use highest settings on their high-end devices, so I might remove one or two of them.
This sometimes crashes my Galaxy Y making me remove the battery, then it corrupts the partition.
What am I doing wrong?
Am I overheating it? (This app makes it a bit hotter)

Hey,
thanks a lot for your report. What do you mean by corrupting the partition? I hope you didn't lose any data!
I had some issues on my Galaxy Y some time ago during development, but I was pretty sure they were gone.
You're not doing anything wrong. The general problem is immense segmentation of Android devices along with multiple system versions, both stock and custom. It's basically impossible to make it work on every combination device + system under the sun.
But - enough moaning. What system version are you using? Does it happen only in wallpaper mode? If so, does it happen in any specific situations, like changing orientation? Would you be willing to install debug version of the app I would send to you and make some effort to crash it again and send me the results back? (it would probably mean extracing some file from sdcard and sending it to me - I'm not sure yet, since I don't have such version yet )

Im using the 2.3.5 default firmware.
It corrupts the partition because I remove the battery with the system on, but nothing important.
I think this is caused by the heat, it always happens when the device is hot.
Also, one thing I noted:
-Red screen (It turns back to normal after a few moments, probably because of some OpenGL problem).
Also, if you want, you can send me the debug app.

If it happens to you with other apps as well, then it's probably possible. App squeezes as much as it can from the device. I might add some optional FPS limit, but on not very strong device like Galaxy Y you probably don't have much FPS anyway, unless you're using first or second quality setting.
I'll think about this for a moment and I might contact you. Thanks a lot for your help!
One more important question you missed from my previous post.
Does it happen in wallpaper mode only?

Happens in both modes.
As i said, it seems to be a heat issue. Since it works for some minutes, then stops the cellphone, thus making me remove he battery and corrupting the system.
Also, thanks for the quick awnsers! A+ dev and support!
EDIT:After some more testing, it seems to be the wallpaper mode.

Sorry for taking so much time to get back to you. Guess I might lose that good grade.
However, I might have some good news. Magic Fluids is updated to version 1.1 and one of the features is framerate limit option, which might (or might not) help for overheating issue.
Full list of changes:
- Added automatic drawing sources - it's great for Live Wallpaper!
- Added two new presets that show automatic drawing in action
- Added framerate limit option for battery saving
- Fixed bug with saved images showing in Gallery with delay
- Removed highest quality setting, since no one was able to use it anyway
Check it out on Google Play!

Hey! Sorry for the bump, but I'm happy to say that the update worked on my Galaxy Y. It doesn't crash any more.
I'm on creeds ROM, so I don't know exactly if that changes something.

Hi. That's great! Entire wallpaper module was rewritten, so that's probably it.
Before the update however I had to exclude some devices in Developers Console - Galaxy Y, Ace, Pocket, Mini, because a few people reported really serious problems with them, like device going into bootloop. The update probably fixes this, but I haven't had the courage yet to enable those devices again.
Did you installed the update through Google Play? I was curious whether excluding a device from supported devices after someone downloaded it, will allow him to install further updates.

[Q] Games too wide for screen

Ok So All Of A Sudden, My Games (Injustice, Uno & Worms 2) Are Too Wide For My Nexus 5 Screen. I'm Rooted Running Cataclysm + Franco. Things Were Working Just Fine. Then I Installed Xposed Installer With 3 Modules (Swipeback, XUI Mod And XBlast) I Played Worms (After Installing Those Modules And Modifying A Bit) And Things Were Still Fine. A Few Hours Later, I Tried To Play Worms And It Was Way Too Wide For The Screen. Same Thing With Injustice And Uno. My Spades Game Isn't Too Wide Though. I Tried Looking In Cataclysm ROM Settings, Then In The Settings Of Each Module For Something I Might've Changed Relating To Screen Size But I Found Nothing. Then I Uninstalled Those 3 Games And Reinstalled Just Worms To See If It Would Work But It Still Was Too Wide. Idk What Else To Do. Help Please.

I Checked Again, There Isn't Anything In The Mods That Say Anything About The DPI Settings But I Give Up, I'm Just Gonna Restore My Backup And Start Over. Hopefully, If It Happens Again, I'll Catch What Happened/What I Did. Thanks Though.
Go easy on that shift key, friend. It's hard to tell where your sentences begin and end when you type like this and defeats the purpose of having capitalization in our written language.
I got a headache reading this. Where do people write like that? I'm curious. And you probably changed the DPI to something that the game doesn't support.

Apps reloading themselves upon opening??

Youtube, and seemingly a bunch of other apps lately have been refreshing themselves upon reopening them ...
See the video for an example..
What's causing this? Really annoying..

well, the very first thing im gonna ask you to do is completely remove all xposed, and everything having to do with it. xposed can come with too many undocumented issues, so its always best to remove anything xposed before trying to resolve issues. it could even be xposed causing it.

Now with Lollipop this is much worse. Even on light multitasking my apps keeps reloading when swithcing to them... Why google why..
Frustrating.
Edit: the irony: just had the google play music app closed + stock launcher closed (and other apps: massive kill). When i got back to chrome this one was killed too.

I really don't seem to have this issue on lollipop. I did on kk.
Sometimes if i launch an app from LMT pie, it starts it as a new activity, where as from recents it goes to the last known state. I'm not having anything killed off though

Well, it was so bad that actually all the time I switched to an app (including launcher/homescreen) it just reloaded. And in Settings > Apps > Running many apps were in a Restarting state.
It seems that Lollipop has some memory leaks, I need to reboot the phone after couple of hours.
This is not an isolated issue, see:
