Flickering upon locking screen

Title: Screen Flicker When Locking via Niagara Button

Description:

Locking the device using the Niagara Launcher’s lock button causes a noticeable and disturbing screen flicker during the transition.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open Niagara Launcher

2. Tap the lock screen button

3. Observe the screen during locking

Expected Behavior:

Screen should turn off smoothly without any visual flicker.

Actual Behavior:

A brief but noticeable screen flicker occurs before the screen locks.

Comparison:

Using third-party apps (e.g., “Double Tap Lock” from Play Store) enables a flicker-free locking experience, indicating that flicker protection is achievable.

Suggested Improvement:

Implement flicker protection for the lock action to ensure a smooth and visually comfortable screen-off transition.

Impact:

Reduces user experience quality and may cause discomfort during frequent use.
