What's up there everybody!
I love scaling all Android's animations in Developers Options to 2x, as I found 1x simply too fast and not as eye catching as 2x. However there is a strange bug that happens between animations (it also happens if they are set at 0.5x, 1x no matter).
Suppose you are in the home screen and press Chrome. You realize "Oh noes, I wanted to tap Messages". You click the home button to get back while the animation is playing. What happens? An ugly flashing black screen is displayed, as the result of a forced animation end, and chrome fades out normally after that. I don't know if I described it properly.
So, in short: Animation starts but doesn't finish, you stop it ---> Instant flashing black screen, window gets instantly maxed out, black screen again ---> window fades out normally.
It happens whenever you interrupt an animation by pressing the home button. It is pretty ugly on 2x since animations last a little longer. In 1x you hardly notice it, only if you are pretty fast, even harder to notice in 0.5x of course, since the animation becomes shorter. No need to say with no animation this ugly crap doesn't happen.
It also happens if I navigate through settings too fast, it is INCREDIBLY ugly, and many people stare at the screen like it is broken when this happens, showing me that their Iphones don't do this LOL. If anyone could suggest me a way to record the screen (as I don't own any other phone/camera right now) to better explain the problem in case it is not clear enough, I will be glad to.
Is there any way to fix this?
My situation is:
Stock Samsung Rom 4.1.2 latest ITA
Neak Kernel 1.8 Undervolted etc...
Rooted of course
TWRP
To be fair, I didn't pay attention to it, neither in CM10.1 neither in any other custom roms I tried, so I can't say whether it is TouchWizz's bug or Android's bug
Thanks in advance!
Anyone? =(

okay so I've had this problem a few times on 2 different G2s
not sure what happens but the phone seems to trick it's self into thinking its still in landscape mode even though its in portrait and I end up with a black screen though I can see the notification bar and can even drag it down and see it so I know the screen isn't turning off and if I open the keyboard i can only see the very right side of the screen or what would be the bottom if it were in portrait mode yet the notification bar seems to work. It usually happens when I close the keyboard. It's not a huge problem as I can just hold the power button down to bring up the "power down, airplane mode, silent mode" screen up and that fixes it. I managed to get it to happen and was able to grab some screen shots. Anybody else have this problem?
I used to see that same issue on my G1 with ADW Launcher installed
ya it happens to me using the adw launcher... i think it is just a rendering issue. also if you use adw launcher you notice the pull down shade doesn't cover the very top when pulled down? just launcher glitches still runs like a champ now that i use temp root. beautiful thing about temp root is that unlike the g1 you don't have to reboot this thing every 8 hrs lol.... i do it just cause i feel like i'm still using my g1.. autostart kills all those damn google apps that run. setcpu is running great. no oc obviously but now you can throttle it... wireless tether plus they have it on a 3 click apk that you can use. SDk/adb knowledge needed though for it...
I've searched around but doesn't look like people even bring these two problems up, maybe you can help?
1. Whenever my phone is locked for over 2 minutes or so, and I unlock it, it seems to lag when i swipe to another home screen for just about 1/2 second after i swipe my finger. It runs fine after that. I've tried tweaking some settings but it doesn't seem to go away. Didn't experience this on a non-sense rom. Anyone with help on that?
2. Also, I noticed that if you open the keyboard when in the home screen, it moves the entire screen up with it. Is it possible to not move the screen up? It causes problems when I'm in a messenger and press the home button with the keyboard open because the entire screen flickers. Not much of a problem, just didn't experience this before either.
Thanks for any help at all guys.
If it's the original ADWLauncher then it isn't that well optimized and with Sense, I get that little like stutter as well. Sense is just a massive ***** to load up.
I don't know how your getting your keyboard on your homescreen. By default, the keyboard moves everything up no matter what with no settings really. You can have a look in Language and Keyboard but I doubt it.
I was messing around with my screens density earlier when I found that on Cyanogenmod 7.1 if your screen density is 100 (Or below?), the Screen on/off animation actually shows. However, you cannot access ANY of your settings. Whatever app you try, the settings will force close.
So. Just wondered, is there a workaround for this? (Or a fix for 7.1?) Because the TV off and On style is actually amazing.
The on/off animation is really weird in CM7 for our wildfires.
For me it seems to sometimes play and then other times it never shows.
I have never played around with the screen density to see how it affects the animation but I assume there is some other factor that is changing whether it is seen or not.
I noticed that one day I was charging my phone and the off animation worked (I didn't have the on animation set to play so that wasn't a factor) and then when I turned the charger off it stopped doing it. But now when I charge it it doesn't show the animation...
Well, I know for a fact it is there.
There are several things backing it up.
1) When you lock the phone, the soft key lights don't dim until the animation would have finished.
2) The lockscreen does not show straight away. Try it, lock the phone then QUICKLY unlock it, the unlock screen wouldn't have appeared straight away because the phone is still doing the animation...
I just wish there was a way to trick it without messing up the phones settings...
Also. Another strange thing. It only seemed to switch on the animation on/off when I used an app to modify the density. When I tried manually modifying it, I couldn't access settings still, nor would the animations show...
the HOX is my first Android phone, and it's mostly fine, but there are annoyances.
One is the length of time the volume overlay stays on-screen when changing volume. It's visible almost two seconds, which, at least to me, is really annoying, especially since it is a rather large, opaque overlay right in the middle of the screen. It's especially annoying while watching a video. Does a stock Android do this as well?
Anyone know of an app to circumvent this? I haven't found anything.

Every android device has it, but you can just tap screen anywhere except the volume bar and it will disappear immediately
Send from my HTC One X.
POOOLSKAAAA BIALOOOO CZEEERWONIIIII!!!!!
Hey thanks, but that doesn't work for me in full screen mode unless I touch twice and each touch is still registered, so my full screen video player then displays a menu and reacts unless I use a safe touch area. Still kind of annoying imho.

I dont think there is an app for this. But, there might be some custom roms that have tweaked the overlay time.
Venom ViperX JB takes about 3 seconds. It really irritated me on stock, while playing games! aargh!
Hey guys,
On my OGP, I have noticed that once I press the side button to unlock the screen, the touch keys light up instantly but the actual screen takes 1-2 seconds to light up after the button press. It may have gotten worse over time, or that may just be me being paranoid. Also, in messaging settings I experimented with messaging skins, and those seemed to lag my messages a lot (like when I clicked on a conversation, it took 2-3 seconds for the conversation to load, whereas before it was instant). When I removed the skin and went back to the default one, the lag still persisted. If anyone knows how to fix these issues, I would be grateful! My device is stock unrooted with value pack update, US AT&T. Only settings I changed was turned on quad core optimization.
Thanks,
killer
Fixed the lock screen lag by removing my dewdrop screen animation. Leaving it at basic drastically increased speeds to easily under a second. Now for the messaging lag...
