# The following two propertiess define (respectively):
#
# - The phase offset between hardware vsync and when apps are woken up by the
#   Choreographer callback
# - The phase offset between hardware vsync and when SurfaceFlinger wakes up
#   to consume input
# Their values may be tuned to trade off between display pipeline latency (both
# overall latency and the lengths of the app --> SF and SF --> display phases)
# and frame delivery jitter (which typically manifests as "jank" or "jerkiness"
# while interacting with the device). The default values must produce a
# relatively low amount of jitter at the expense of roughly two frames of
# app --> display latency, and unless significant testing is performed to avoid
# increased display jitter (both manual investigation using systrace [1] and
# automated testing using dumpsys gfxinfo [2] are recommended), they should not
# be modified.

#   1. Hardware composer's capability to composite contents with the chosen

#      and the chosen wide color gamut data space contents coexist;
#   3. For better blending, consider using pixel format where the alpha
#      channel has as many bits as the RGB color channel.
