ICS animation scale

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

Show transition animation
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.

Speed up your Galaxy S3 in 2 easy steps

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.

You tell me. its an almost untested version.. boots on XT1033 but system UI crashes. I believe this should work on Single SIM models.

Would this work on xt1031

no issues... can you post logs? i don't have access to pc with adb and taking log from mobile itself is impossible due to ui crashes.

Come on guys... if anyone can test the ROM i can finally move the thread to dev section and thank the dev. The guy has done a tremendous job supporting our device.

Animation smoothness tip

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.

Features request:
• Activity, quick settings, Shortcut:
1: A custom quick setting tile to Trigger Power menu(not just reboot but whole menu like what KEYCODE 26 does but long press as a tap)(I know it can be done from navigation bar but it decreases my qs tiles rows from 3 to 2 and navigation bar misbehaves with my configurations) and a Screenshot tile also.
2: Every activity Should be Available as a shortcut for Home Screen. Activity Launcher(F-droid) App does Similar.
• Backgrounds:
3: Only keep gradient/ hue and Solid Colours in BG App when offline and rest should be available at some LineageOS repository via internet to BG App when online. This will:
a) Much reduction in App size as BG app only had Wallpapers in Image Format rest all were code when i checked inside app. b) More Choice to users. c) These are just bloat for users who use their own BG collection or Gallery Images as BG.
•Calender:
4: Please Bring back Year View to the calendar app.
5: I think Calendar App is useless for people without GMS as we cannot add events to the app or we have to download an add-on(Offline Calendar) with a weak security structure, so isn't it better if it is implemented natively in the system as People with GMS would also not oppose this.
•Launcher:
6: Application Lock is useless without covering AOSP Package Manager(For non-GMS only) and system settings from QS.
•Snap:
7: RAW(DNG) support would be a game changer.
•System:
8: Option in system settings to manually change Standard Output (here, Audio)to Speaker, earpiece or audio jack(if connected).
•KeyBoard:
9: AOSP Keyboard should follow system theme(both default and Black and not dark blue) and also accent.
10: Adding Key Boarders like GBoard(not swiftkey) will be very impressive and prevent me from using GBoard as i dont like GMS.
•Calculator:
11: Orders of Magnitude converter for Calculator App.
•AudioFX:
12: Divide AudioFX into two sections, Basic and Advanced where basic is like how AudioFX is currently present and Advanced is with 10 band equalizer and L-R controller.
Questions:
Q1: What is the use of that option "Left Shortcut also Unlocks" in Lock screen preferences?
Q2: Why don't Lineage OS support all the DPI(from Low to xxx High). If yes then why do many preferences break with DPI change.
Q3: Why was the option to clear cache of all installed applications from storage section of settings removed?
Problems:
P1: Style only work for Primary User in multi user mode.
P2: Changing Accent in any user changes accent of Primary user and keep Default on rest all Users always.
P3: Navigation bar and Launcher rows and columns also get disturbed with Setting up Multi User.
• Note: Multi user in above sentences is not Work Profile or Restricted profile but a separate user from Settings>System>Multi Users.
• Setup: 270 DPI(640 as smallest width in developer Options) in primary user and default on rest(2 excluding primary) and navigation bar activated on Primary user but not on rest.
NOTE: Sorry if my Language hurt anyone especially Hardworking Creators and contributors to LOS but this was my suggestion for improvement.

Please make Pixel 3a XL an official supported device.. (Bonito)

Important one for me:
- Enable Call Recording for all countries (Why the hell do the developers even care about recording laws? Let the users decide what they want to do with their devices!)
- Provide option to automatically start call recording.
Nice to have:
- Full screen alarm clock (for swiping to snooze or terminate the alarm)
Reason for that: If someone swipes the notification away, the alarm sound continues and you have no way to terminate it except by rebooting the phone.
