    How do I disable the red square border which highlights when I select something. I am running android 4.0.4 build.

    I am still digging into it, but it appears to be able to be disabled by toggling the Strict mode twice.

    Settings -> Developer Options -> Strict Mode.

    It appears to be caused by long processes.

    Gingerbread is a more responsive BSP, so you may want to consider Gingerbread instead of Ice Cream Sandwich.

    Thanks, that worked, but is there a way to disable this before it boots? Either that or remove this completely from the build in the BSP?

     

    Thanks! I will look into if Gingerbread will serve our needs. Right now, Gingerbread looks like a dated OS, so it might not have all the features we are looking for in our custom build.

    I am looking into it. If you're having issues with ICS being too slow, you can try enabled the L2 cache. It's not officially tested, but u-boot has it disabled and some customers are reporting improvements on the linux side. Since the Android u-boot has the same line of code, you can check this thread to see how to modify u-boot to help improve performance. If the performance is good, the red box doesn't see to appear.

    The link is broken. Can you get the right link. I would love to give that L2 cache a try

    We're having issues with http vs https. Give that a try:

    O one more thing, the strict mode enable does not work. The red border still shows when there is a delay.

     

    The L2 cache doesn't seem to speed anything up. If anything it looks like it's slowing things down.

     

    The only mods I made was to disable the L2 off in the omap3logic.h file in the u-boot/include/configs/ folder. Was there anything else in the thread that you guys did to speed up the linux version?

    That was the big fix. It improved some of the benchmarks by 2-4x. I'll see if I can do some more digging into the red box, but it may take a bit.
