[Q] App transition animations are too fast. Any way to change? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi fellas,
Don't you realize that the app transition animation speed (entry and exit of apps) are too fast to enjoy?
I can't seem to change this speed, despite using a 3rd party launcher (Nova) nor via the developer settings.
Anyone has changed this, please share. Thanks!

Hehe
In all seriousness, Im surprised the dev options/Nova settings didnt slow it down. I always turn mine to fastest anyway.

Yup.. like I mentioned in my OP, these settings don't seem to work. Something withing the firmware which is overriding it.
Anyways.. no biggie. I'm sure custom ROMs may open up possibilities..

There's no such thing as "too fast" for me lol

Go to developer options. To unlock them, go to about phone and tap the build number until it tells you that you're a developer. Click on window animation scale and change it to 1.5x or 2x. Do the same for transition animation scale and animator duration scale.

Yeah it'll go slow all right...with lag

WHoa.. all skiming through the thread a bit too quickly eh?
Like I mentioned already, I have meddled with the developer settings...
And the animation is too fast to be even noticed. It's like not having any animation at all. Don't ya think? We got a nice Adreno330 in our phones to exploit..
And yea.. I gave up the S4 due to lag.. lol

not sure about you guys, but my browswer crashed at the pocketnow.com website. It's okay now but much to my surprise, in their review of Humingbird vs OMAP vs Snapdragon, the Captivate crashes on their website as well. Might have something to do with their website.

Sticky scrolling ICS 4.0.3 (intertia drift)

I've updated my Nexus S to Official ICS 4.0.3.
It's running nice, but scrolling is very slow and sticky.
I can't scroll fast in my contacts list or in browser.
What's happening here?
It's like that all through the OS for the most part. The framerate is better, but what's the point if it feels worse..
that is the new animation effect, it's not slower
it just like the animation for the screen rotation from landscape to vertical and back
you think it's slow but it's not
just turn it off if you don't like to see those effects
FYI: people with the spanking brand new 720 Galaxy Nexus are complaining about the same thing

all my animations are already turned off. I'm not talking about animation, but scrolling is slow.
i have to wipe 4-5 time down to reach the bottom of my contact list.

ahhhhh... that's different
you are referring to the Inertia Drift
they changed it in 4.0
CM7 had an option to control how fast or how slow the inertia drift works, but the stock ICS ROM we do not have that yet
not even the CM9 alpha, that will have to wait for a while before we can change that, unless you know which setting to hack

Doest effect scrolling
But yea scrolling smooth for me also even more at 1.2ghz
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
yea its been driving me crazy as well very annoying. feels like im dragging the screen while its being weighed down by a 5 pound brick. its not a smoothness issue.
I've also noticed weird touch quirks especially with the stock launcher. sometime your swipe wont be long enough and it just stutters in place. One time in the recently opened apps i had to swipe 4 times across 75% of the screen and the dam thing wouldn't go away. other times a swipe across 25% usually does the trick. I am very disappointed with ics so far.

Another lag fix idea

Right I've been follow like most the threads about sorting out the lag we sometimes receive on the G3.
I tried the fixes and while improved it's not gone.
So I decided to fiddle and to my surprise improved things alot.
Go into Developer option and tick DISABLE HW OVERLAYS
I used to notice lag when going in the app drawer and hitting the home button, a pause, stutter then animation. Now it has a millisecond pause and a smooth animation to the home screen.
Give it ago and report back.
Yeah, well, I saw no such improvement. Furthermore, that setting doesn't persist after a reboot.
If you want it to remain, you'd need to edit build.prop and change:
'debug.composition.type=c2d'
to
'debug.composition.type=gpu' (or cpu)
It's not worth it in my opinion, if there is a difference, I'd need to run home quickly to grab my atomic clock to measure the difference.
No difference for me either

Odd, it's a massive improvement here, are you guys running anything else ?
No difference for me.
Running ART, rooted, removed lots of bad stuff and used trickster tweaks, with 10f.

That phone does not have a camera. It is a petty. HTC will probably disappear soon: they have not been able to get benefits in 2013 and 2014. Customers currenty dont want to know about them due to evil sw update policy. I dont think a clever customer will buy an HTC.
Thanks anyway.

LoL...I don't notice any lag on my G3. What's kind of funny is some M8 users said the camera was fine back when it came out. Months later they like the G3 camera better. HTC took a gamble on the M8 camera and failed. Imo
This helped a lot. Things are a lot snappier.
Thanks!
Tried the M8 but think I've broken it trying to get the battery out
Works for me D855 32GB on V10i-GLOBAL-SI

Guaranteed way to "speed up" your Nexus 6 (animation scale settings)

This is nothing new and nothing groundbreaking...but if you're new to Android, haven't seen this before, or simply forgot about it, I think you'll want to give it a try.
The animations in Lollipop are a bit over the top, more so than previous versions, and speeding them up really made the phone seem snappier. I was tempted to do this day 1 but wanted to live with normal Lollipop for a few weeks...yesterday I made the change and I know I could never go back.
Go to settings/developer options and scroll down to the three animation scale settings. Default is 1x. Change all three to 0.5x. Enjoy.
Note: If your developer options are not enabled, you can go to settings/about phone and tap on "Build Number" 7 times. The option will then be available in the settings menu.
lol.
this doesnt "speed" up your nexus. your nexus is just as fast, just faster animations. heck, if you want to make your nexus a rocket, turn them off completely

In fact it doesn't speed up the Nexus 6...but it does "speed" it up lol. I will change the title to add the quotation marks. It definitely feels faster though and I don't know that you can dispute that
There's a reason I didn't promise miracles in this post!
I prefer to make mine longer at 5.0
Sent from my XT1096 using Tapatalk
I love this tweak. It does actually speed the phone up, no quotes needed. Even if an app loads very quickly, the phone still "waits" for the animation to fully execute. This tweak means that switching apps and loading apps will be faster (in some cases). It is a true speedup.

i dont dispute it. ive had my animations disabled since a few days after android was released
its just saying it speeds it up is inaccurate. lets say it makes the ui feel faster

Thanks for this. I'm really liking the speedier animations so far.
Would the speedier animations tax the processor more and in turn use more battery? I'm sure it would be small if it did but I would like to know if it did.

I don't think it makes any difference at all to the processor. If anything, a faster animation lets you get to where you were going faster, thus reducing the amount of time you need to have your screen on.

Movement of multitasking

Hi guys.
I have a problem I'm not sure it's a problem.
When I move in multitasking it is not smooth, I have noticed in other terminals that when it slides it does it without stopping in each application, which is what happens to me, I have to go one by one moving through them. It's a little frustrating.
I have the S9+ and mine does the same...read that it's suppose to be like that on ONE UI

Am assuming u have either or & :
1- reduce animations enabled
2- changed values of transition speed in developer mode
I had the same, but few days ago i thought let me disable both and i discovered how smooth everything is, including swiping through multitasking.
Give it a try..
