Indeed, there are a number of flicker issues and we need to know more
about what you are actually referring to:
As Andy said, do you see console text when it flickers?
or perhaps
Do you have the correct version of
frameworks/base/libs/ui/EGLDisplaySurface.cpp which uses
FBIOPAN_DISPLAY? Using FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO is no good. That will cause
all kinds of flicker.
