[Q] Disable Hardware Overlay

[mitchell4you]

I desire ''disable hardware overlays' to be 'enabled' on boot
But.. how to archive it??

My unit.. has a new firmware..
However.. the Gui 'flickers' on mouse movements.. (if the above isn't enabled)
-Unit is 'root' enabled ( android tuner&tweaker are installed.. )

I appreciate the help

init.d script and use setprop
in a terminal type getprop and it will show what all has been set.
I think you can also do it in build.prop too?

You will have to google the exact setprop command for hardware overlay..

Any solution found to disable h/w overlay on boot yet?

[mitchell4you]

Yes.. you manual enable it

Debug.sf.hw

Made my system un-bootable (used android-tuner changed 0 to 1 in build.prop)
-was forced to reflash my rk3066

Later.. i found a firmware with-out the flashing-bug

Note..
There is also a app.. secure settings (I think it was called)
It sets the settings back after boot.. but sadly its not free

Anyway.. i hope you have more luck.. in finding a solution
Cheers

Fixed my flickering screen and mouse trails by doing this

change
sys.hwc.compose_policy=6 to sys.hwc.compose_policy=0
in build.prop

Don't know if there was something else I did to also fix it.

Most of my ROMs I have changed this to 0 because for me I saw a performance hit. Yet some still reported flickering. So not sure this is the true fix but if it works for some DO IT!
