Weird blue bar in apps (e.g. Gmail) - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

I have had a weird issue with a mysterious blue bar that shows up in some apps... Including Gmail... when I search or otherwise initiate the action bar. I am currently on CM 10.1.3 stable, for the third time... Using up to date GAPPS. But I have also tried other ROMs and all of them seem to have this "issue" that only I and a few other people have... And no one has found a fix yet AFAIK.
Here is a screenshot:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It's driving me insane. I know I'm OCD but I would do almost anything to make it go away. It's persistent in every ROM I've tried... except bone stock. I flashed back to MDK via Odin and it was not present there... But seems to be in every other AOSP ROM I try...
... Does anyone have any suggestions? It would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

No love? Just an update:
I odin-ed back to stock... Wiped and re-rooted and re-flashed (fresh downloads too) multiple roms. This issue persists. Has anyone seen something similar? If so, do you know of any fix?
Thanks in advance!

yes I have it too. no I don't think its fixable its just like the YouTube bar glitch which Google couldn't fix so they just removed it. my guess is that this bug is the same kind of issue

the YouTube glitch is still there it just doesn't affect playing videos

What YouTube glitch are you referencing? Either I haven't noticed or I don't have it... Perhaps the former if it's subtle...

Is it that the first result is cut off or the inset video at the bottom is black? Sorry it wasn't obvious... I don't use YouTube all that much unless I go straight to a video.
Thx for the replies

Problems with XDA app.

Hello all. The problem important having is that when important using any ICS based Rom, the app will FC depending on what's happening. If important browsing a thread that has a lot of pics, it FC's like I've run out of memory. Far from possible on this device. And now with miui , i can't get into pc's.....

I had a similar issue with XDA premium. Simba501 suggested I try fixing permissions. It worked for me. I had to do it several times though. No more FC's. Hope it helps.

The issue important having you are is unfortunate. I've never important had this problem. I bought the XDA app and Tapatalk and use important both. I switch between them and the only problems important I get are occasionally I can't see a pic someone posted in a thread somewhere. But it seems random. Important.

Haha. Lmao. Anyways. The from I was using on the i777 made "im" into important. Didn't proof read anything and sent it out. When you said fix permissions do you mean in recovery or in settings or using a different app?

I hear this is semi-antiquated advice (I say semi because I'm not entirely sure that it doesn't help)
but have you tried to charge your battery all the way up and calibrate it?
Also...it seems that you have a voice mail. You should certainly check that, don't want to keep anyone hanging lol

No, so I will. BTW that voicemail is just a whole bunch of people talking in the background, must be an accident.

Here is a link to the app I use (although there are others ofc):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...xLDEsImNvbS5uZW1hLmJhdHRlcnljYWxpYnJhdGlvbiJd
Charge to 100% and while still plugged, open the app grant root and calibrate. Then you want to use your phone until its at around 5% battery and charge it all the way back up to 100% before using it and then you should be good. If not, then we can look into other alternatives ^^

Instagram not working properly

So when I went to upload so pictures to instagram today I noticed something wasnt working right. When I hit the brightness button it turns everything green. Any idea why or does anyone else have this issue.

Same thing happens to me. Can anyone confirm if this happens on a completely stock ROM?
turned blue areas to green for me ...
Known issue. Donno how they plan to fix it
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
Im 100% stock no root. Seems to be a big issue. I think its a compatibility issue with 4.2.2 bc my note 2 didnt have this issue
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 2
Has nothing to do with the fact its 4.2.2. Nor does it have anything to do with the picture being taken with our device. Its instagram internal bug in the software that's messing with our camera.
Ask me how I know so we can close this thread? Okay.
I took a picture with the s4 tried it on instagram. It's green.
Beamed the exact image to my girlfriends galaxy note 2. Had her do the same process. Its not green.
Its not the image. Its not the ROM. Its instagram hating on the s4 at the moment and they probably dont know what's causing it. But its been a known issue. On all carriers and versions. Not just Verizon's.
End thread. /rant

Not really sure what you are asking.
What do you mean by scrolling screenshots?
Sent from a Galaxy S4... Far far away
Lets say you want to take screenshots of of an sms thread. And instead of sending 3,4,5 screenshots... The app would stich them together and send one big scrolling screenshot. Like the iphones stich it app

Because we're curious just what you were asking for and have no idea how to do it.
That's fine, but how is everyone going to find out what I'm talking about is they don't ask questions. Our even attempt to communicate
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
I think your reply to my question let us know what you were trying to do.
Normally if someone knew how to accomplish what you want they would respond with an answer.
So you really think that everyone reading this thread should reply?
Would you like to read through some 100 + posts saying "I'm sorry but I don't know"

Screen Shots
Screen shots are a single capture. Have you tried using a photo app that will stitch them together?

Random ads / popups

What is with these ads / pop-ups? I have had this G5 for literally 27 hours and haven't had time to do anything stupid with it. Can anyone he'll me with this? Is it something built into the phone or the websites I visit? It happened on my G3 as well. Its happened at (kotdb.com) and (xdaforums)

I got Tuga from the XDA app if you were wondering
Yea, wasn't in the play store.. Where am I looking?

Does Tuga require my phone to be rooted?

The XDA Labs app has an Apps section, look there. And no it does not have to be rooted

IE ??? Does MS have an app for IE for android?

I had this same problem on my S7 edge-except it was worse.Same thing,but it took me to a page that said i had a virus etc etc.Than every time I woke up phone it sent me to the play store.
Only thing that helped was a factory reset.Problem solved.
This phone without root has frustrated me to no end because of this kind of stupid bull****. No more LG for me.
