Guys I felt the phone was buttery smooth, but on certain occasions I.e. lock screen ripple transition into opening your home screen and toggling between messages in the messaging app, the transition would s stutter just a tiny bit. Problem is solved if you go into:1. Settings-> developer options-> and Window animation scale and Transition Animation scale -> change both of those to .5xThe phone now runs like the beast it was born to be. Try it and let make know your thoughts. Regards, Nik
Well the fourth thread here in general section is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705007 it would have been better if you had noticed it.

Hey guys,
What's the difference between Window Animation scale and Transition animation scale? I set the window animation scale to 5 to see what's the difference but I cannot really tell?
Window is how fast the popups for things like as a example notification choosing, transition is going from menu to menu(with animations turned on)
1x is normal speed, 0.5 is twice as fast and 10 is 10 times as slow

Played with window animation and it seems that its not used as much as the transition animation.

When setting the value lower (number wise) the animations are done faster, such as windows coming in and out of view etc (doesn't effect scrolling) I think home scrolling is effected though
When setting the value higher (number wise) the animations are presented alot slower, I set the value to 5 that you were using, from the Default (1), and all the animations were HELL! slow haha! Painful to use, felt boggy
Transition Animation numbers effect when windows come in and out of view such as opening settings, applications etc
The window animation is the windows "inside windows" that come in and out of view, such as if you set window animation to 10, and then go to the home page and press your settings button so it displays "Add, Wallpapers, Search, Widgets" etc, it opens hell slow
As well as if the value of Window Animation Scale is 10, when you get out of everything and go back into it to change it to 1 (Default) again, the window that opens that shows x.5 | x1 | x1.5 | 2 | 2.5 etc opens heaps slowly!
That's what the difference is

Hi all,
How can i enable back the animations?
I played a little with all the options (x1, x0.5, x10 etc) just to see the differences. Then I selected the first option ("none"/"off") for Windows animation scale and Transition animation scale and then these 2 options became inactive. I cannot enable them back. I have an HTC One V.
Please advice.

me too, using htc one v, i can't turn it back on though have reset it to factory default both from the power button and volume down while booting, or from the storage factory data reset setting.
i contacted HTC support but they simulated my problems and still be able to turn the windows animation scale and transition scale back on after being switched off.
I picked up a Note a couple of days ago, and I've noticed that graphical transitions are slow, almost jerky.
Good examples are when launching the multitasking interface, opening folders in Apex Launcher (everything is the same with the stock launcher, too) and turning the screen off. When turning the screen off, it fades out slowly and in stages rather than smoothly. This may be normal, but if not it's a good example of how bad the animations are.
The phone came wiped, but is there anything I can clear that may have been missed by the original owner and needs clearing down?
Or is this just normal?
Cheers.
go to settings > developer options and select force GPU Rendering, Also go to (in the same menu) Window / Transition animation scale and set them to 0.5 - 1.0 on both.
Wich android version do you have?

Thanks. Doesn't seem any different, though.
I should have mentioned, I'm updated to ICS - 4.0.4.
Thanks.
Hi Everyone,
So far I'm enjoying 4.3, but there's this annoying stuttering animation when switching tabs in Samsung's stock browser and clearing the data didn't help. so Is this a known bug in 4.3 or is it just me? don't know why Samsung loves to animate switching tabs
Thanks!

Go to Apps - Settings - More - Developer options (If u dont have it actived, only go About device and tap 6 o 7 times the option: Build number). In Developer Options take a look Window animation scale, Transition animation scale, Animator duration scale and put it all in 0.5x or 0. This will help ya and will speed up ur phone too :highfive:
Same here. Not only when switching tabs but also when scrolling a page. This occurred after the first update to 4.3 (XXUEMJ7 and XXUEMK8 ). It's becoming a bit annoying...

Here's a little tip to help speed up your Moto G. First go to Settings-About Phone and tap Build Number 7 times. It will then say "you are now a developer". Go back to settings and you will see a new category called "Developer Options". Open that and scroll down to Window animation scale. Open it and turn off animations. Go back and do the same thing in Transition animation scale, and Animator duration scale.
You will now notice that apps and other things open faster, making the Moto G even more awesome.

In effect, it does speed up the launching of apps because animations take time. Not much, granted, but still faster nonetheless. I definitely notice a split second faster launching of things. If you don't like it, don't use it.

If we turn off those animations, the dialer doesn't open when we press the Keypad icon... It opens only after we press back and open it again... So keep the animations to 0.5x and everything will be fine...

Even better, change all the animations to 0.25, I think it's the best setting, instant animation...!
But that setting is not in stock rom.
YEah this doesn't technically make the phone actually faster, but it does zeem to be a bit zippier if putting it down to .25 or .5.

Of course this will break the phone dialer keypad from opening correctly (in 4.4.3/4.4.4).
To set all settings at 1.5 makes ui more effective as it made for thats called pure android .....
Try that also for whole day you will enjoy..

I know most of you already know of this, and it's been posted on numerous other threads or articles, but it makes such a big difference on this device that I thought it deserves a special topic.
Activate developer options and enable "Force GPU rendering". I frequently noticed stuttering on the stock launcher and it really bothered me that a high end tablet like this would have such issues. So I thought of this old tip and enabled it. And wow, it really makes a huge difference. The launcher is butter smooth now, even with a live wallpaper. And the rest of the other animations feel much better now.
For an even more "responsive" feeling I recommend switching all the animation scales at 0.5
They are found on the same menu, developer settings.
You don't need root for this, to enable the menu just go into settings > about tablet and tap 5 times or more on "build number". The system will notify you that you have become a developer, now go back to settings and you will find "developer settings".
BTW if you change the animation scales you will need to reboot once for the full effect.
Awesome, thanks for the tip!
Quick question though, when you change the animation scales, should I also change Animator duration scale to 0.5x? Or just Window & Transition animation scale?
Lastly, does this also improve frame rates on games?

There are 3 animation scales that you can all set at 0.5
It won't improve gaming performance, it will just force 2d animations to be proccesed by the GPU instead of the CPU.
