is <bitmap>.finish() no longer necessary?

Going thru old posts and the SDK there is mention of issuing <bitmap>.finish() before drawing it to the screen.

I naturally forgot and then put it in afterword. 😉

Instead of guaranteeing no tearing, it did the opposite. A lot of flicker!

I'm on a Roku 2 3100X, SW ver 5.5 * build 410

So, if doing double buffering and drawing to a bitmap and then drawing that bitmap to the screen is done, is <bitmap>.finish() necessary? And if so, how to make it work?

Also, is this behavior consistent with other Rokus?

peace & 42
