Increase your SGS speed by just changing Settings

Go to Settings > Display > Animation > No animation
I found this tweak at anandtech. My SGS is now flying. It's amazing. Your SGS performance will at least double after setting no animation.
Turning off animation disables the fading effect when opening and closing apps.
Works on all SGS firmwares. It may not work if you are using the default TouchWiz home.
Cheers

To me this only seems to affect the settings windows, doesn't change the app draw fade, or homescreens. What else does it turn off?

WOW! This really does make a huge difference (didn't think it would),
Nice find.

This is true makes most things snappier. The animation reminds me of my old iphone anyway, don't wasn't that now do we! Its enough that samsung copied the design of the enclosure...

this works great on the interface make it feel really snappy.
It stops the fading effect of moving from one screen to another screen or pop ups. So, now you don't have to wait.

is the graphics driver at fault?
if the animations are not smooth and thats causing the delay, maybe the graphics driver is at fault.

This makes my phone well fast. Running doc's rom and ryan za's lag fix. Thanks man. I like the speed

Perhaps, as overlays/transparencies might not be working as intended, any app that uses any kind of transparency/overlay/fade over TouchWiz seems to go to hell.
To see this, checkout vizBattery, when the screen with the 2 select buttons pops up and its semi transparent if you have a live wallpaper going you can see the frame rate drop to 5 fps.

I still can't see any other windows that this turns effects off for??? What are you all on about
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

It might be faster because it takes less cpu/gpu to use your phone but your cpu/gpu is not always on full charge so I think that it seems faster only because you don't have the animation delay that's all

It's the same as disabling all the fancy FX in win 7 ( or any other OS ), but I like my FX and I'm happy to wait the microsecond or two extra

I have always been bothered with the slow animation on the front screen. It is dead smooth in launcherpro. But disabling the animation do makes for a better experience.
Although zooming and scrolling in the app-drawer is dead slow still.

Is this really a Development section topic....?
This is nothing special or specific to the SGS. Same settings on my EVO 4G and Nexus One exist(ed), and have the same impact on the "feel" of the phone.

If you get Spare Parts you can speed it up, which has the same effect without destroying the prettiness.

Hey, this works really well. And I don't think it destroys the prettiness, windows open too fast for destroying it

These are one of the things I do everytime after flashing a new rom.
1) Disable animation
2) Change the Mobile networks to 'GSM Only' (We have no 3G yet in India on major n/w)
3) Brightness to Zero
4) Haptic Sensitivity to just a bare minimum
5) Date & Time to 12-hour format
6) USB Debugging - Enabled
7) Privacy - Use my Location
8) Wifi-Settings - Disable network notification
9) Disable SD Card notifications
10) Disable Power saving Mode
11) Set the APN & Login to Google!!
I wish there was a way to automate the above steps

What exactly does the powersaving mode do?

You could probably write a script for sl4a that adjusts many of those.

[Q] Soft button backlight does not turn on after update to CM6.1 on Incredible

I just updated to CM6.1 with invisiblek #28 on my Incredible. I love it, but for some reason, the backlight for my soft buttons doesn't light up anymore. I've looked through the settings and don't see anything that obviously controls the backlight. Has anyone run into this before and/or know a fix?

There is a setting you can tweak to usually get them working.
Menu - Settings - CyanogenMod settings - Automatic Backlight - Use custom - Edit Other Levels - Change Value On Buttons.
Try starting at 1 and save it. If that don't get it try 2 and save it and so on until they start up again.

Weird....this looks like a thread for the Q & A section

[Q] Change brightness from notification bar?

Any way to do this on the EVO? Any ROMs or mods/.zips that enable this? I did a search and all I could find was info about Galaxy S phones where apparently this feature is stock.
Basically you just drag your finger along the notification bar to change the screen brightness, left for dimmer, right for brighter. This would be awesome to enable on the EVO, but as far as I can tell it hasn't been implemented.
Myn's RLS5.

Yes.
Settings > CM Settings > Interface > Notification Power Widget
Scroll down to toggle brightness.
Edit: You should be able to find a similar config on myn's.

Can't find a similar option on Myn's... I'll give CM another shot at some point, but it'd be sweet to have this on a Sense ROM.

for CM, it's more a toggle button than a scrolling thing.. but i use it often, and you can change the setting on how it toggles.
overall, pleased.

you could by creating a widget.txt file then rearranging what you would prefer on the pcw (up to 6 options) and placing it in a file on sd, then from your apps theres should be a pcw app that you can adjust the brightness settings.

edit: i read past the part about sliding to adjust..i haven't seen any yet.
theres this app i used to use called quick settings (from market) from settings allow it to be accessed from pull down, hit it and have brightness (and others) as an option.

Quick settings is exactly what I've been looking for. Thanx x100!

This would be a killer feature to include on a future AOSP build. The only ROM I've used that has a feature like this is MIUI, which happens to be amazing.
The brightness slider, as well as many other toggles, are found in the notifications menu.
It took me some time to get used to the lack of an app drawer, but I quickly got over it.

Shut Off Vibrate on Lockscreen?

Just wanted to know if there is any way to disable the vibration on the lock screen. Couldn't find anything in the settings menu...

On stock GSM ROM 4.0.2:
Go to the "Settings" > "Sound" > "Vibrate on touch", which should turn off all vibrations including the lock screen vibration.

yeah it should, logically..but it doesn't
on the stock rom no way to disable it on the lockscreen

Ok not to start a new topic..
What rom / mod is suggested for daily use... that has these two options:
-turn off vibration on lock screen
-turn off vibration while moving icons / folders / widgets..
Very annoying! Ayone?

I have been using Liquid ROM for a week and I noticed that the vibration disappeared. I dont know how I did it, but it's gone! I hope it's not just malfunctioning!

I have yet to find a Rom that does not have it.

I am currently looking into this. I lowered the vibration in my kernel to lower the vibration on the lockscreen but some have complained that it lowers it too much for their liking for instance when the ringer is off and just vibration on...
anyways, when you toggle vibrate on touch in settings it is not "global" and it remains on the lockscreen.
the changes need to be made in
Code:
core/java/com/android/internal/widget/RotarySelector.java
and
Code:
core/java/com/android/internal/widget/SlidingTab.java
it's possible the changes are in cm9 (they are in cm7) but I am going to merge these into aokp and submit a pull request

How did you edit the vibration in your rom? I would like to turn it up on my phone. I can barely feel it in my pocket when I'm doing something else.

[Q] Viper x - some questions

Hi
I have installed viper x and now i have some questions:
1 I want to increase overall screen brightness. which of the sliders in the tweaks do i have to use?
2 i've set custom lockscreen apps for the sense lockscreen but they're not shown. Must the sense ui be installed to use this? I have an installation without sense ui.
3 i have selected the option "vibrate mode" for my horizontal quick settings but it is also not shown. Anyone who knows this problem?
4 can i set a volume key as trigger for the sense camera app?
Maybe some of you can help me. Thank you very much.

1) if you have set the screen brightness in settings to 100% then i don't think there is anything else you can do to make it brighter.
2) you need sense installed
3) open venom tweaks > status > Hide n Reorder
check that there is not a red X next to vibrate mode.
4) OneXed Camera Mod-V3.0

Thank you for your fast reply!
1) I don´t want to set a fix brightness, I thought I could make the auto-brightness a little bit higher by changing one or some values in the tweaks-screen i have attached as picture. Is that possible?
2) ok, can I add sense ui by installing the rom again without wiping the phone? Will I loose all my settings then?
3) there is no red x, I´ve already checked that. But something funny happened: I checked it again, marked it red, unmarked it, changed the order of the settings and now it is there. But now the Wifi-Hotspot-Setting is not shown (the last and 7th setting in my list). Maybe I can´t set more than 6 settings?
4)Thank you, I will try that one.
And one thing i have forgotten before:
5) Can I download new custom font packs anywhere? Or better, can I create own font packs from a TTF and how does it work?
Greetings

1) venom tweaks > Misc > auto backlight brightness.
2) if you install without a full wipe it should all be saved.
3) icons are on a scroll, just swipe from right to left on the tweak icons.
4) welcome
5) you can from venom hub, i believe ADW icons are also compatible. i dont know about TTF, sure someone on here knows.

2) That led into a bootloop again, don´t know why. But now I know how to handle that :laugh: . I will do a full re-install with sense ui next days.
3) Ok, i found it. Thanks for that
4) Works perfectly :good: !
5) There are only 10 fonts. I can´t find a possibility to download or add more. If there is none, I will use the app "font changer". That works, but some fonts aren´t changed then...

I have a new question about Viper X:
I always have Google Maps in my battery-statistics consuming a lot of power even if i didn´t use it. A friend told me that somtimes Maps makes trouble when it is installed as a system-app. So when I did the new installation of Viper X I didn´t install Maps as system. I loaded it from Play Store and switched Latitude off. But its still there.
Anyone who knows about it?
Greetings
