Button glow/fade removed on 4.0.4?

Hello,
On 4.0.3, when you pressed a button (for example, dialing a number in the stock phone app) the button would stay highlighted and slowly fade back to the original colour. It seems that this effect has been lost when 4.0.4 source was merged in CM9 for the SGS2.
I'm curious if this is actually a change made by Google, or if some conflict was caused by the new source? So, for people who have a Nexus running 4.0.4, is this glow effect gone?
If so, does anyone know the particular file(s) in the source where this change was made?
Thanks to anyone who can help!

Yes, you are true.
It is removed from my 4.0.4
Ohh, i now noticed that also "menù" button and backspace button inverted their position in the dialer :O
edit: also the bottom bar is changed

Looks like google has moved the menu button from the top right to the bottom right in many things now. I like this much better, sucked trying to reach my thumb up there. Google Voice and Gmail have them down there now too... not sure when those changes happened. I didn't notice until this thread.

I noticed this when selecting menus in settings. It's much better now, that glow effect stuttered a lot.

i wish there could be an option to remove the 'frequently called' below the favorite my gf sees it shes gonna kill me lol

Its not that it's been removed, its that they took the lag out of it.
It has always meant to be how it is now, but it was just super stuttery and slow before, so you actually noticed the fade. The buttons are supposed to just glow when you touch them, and fade quickly when you release them.
If you'll notice, the Back, Home, and Multitasking button still have a jittery fade to them.

I was not referring to the softkey buttons, I'm talking about buttons in the UI. For example, I noticed the effect in the stock phone app, where the buttons would have a very nice fade effect when you pressed them. In 4.0.4, it has absolutely no transition at all...
I'm wondering where this change was made in the source code, I looked at the phone app, and was not able to find anything, so I suppose it must be a change in the whole framework.

No, I'm saying in normal settings buttons they fixed it. But they left the jittery fade on the back, home, multitask. Because of this its easy to compare how it used to be and how it should be.

So is there any glow animation or not? Can somebody post a video please?

Yes there is a glow anytime you hit a button in a menu etc.. It glows light blue on grey just like it always did. It just fades smoothly and quickly when you release the button now. Before it was slow and jerky.

So I figured out what causes the app drawer lag and FPS drops when entering & exiting

So I figured out what causes the app drawer lag and FPS drops when entering & exiting
Most of you probably won't notice it, but when pressing the app drawer, the frames kinda of drop and you can see it stutter, regardless of what launcher you're using.
The thing that causes the lag is the button glow animation on the navigation bar. Try for yourselves. If you have AOKP just go to rom control->navigation bar->button glow animation and set it to off or super quick. Play around with it and jump back to the navigation bar settings and set it to normal to see the difference. You want it at off for best performance. Now there is no lag or FPS drops when entering and exiting the app drawer.

This is an already discovered fix for the UI lag. Seems ICS struggles when layers are drawn on the UI. A good example would be when a toast notification is displayed, try navigating around using the phone and it will lag until the notification closes.
Personally I just set the glow to off as even with super quick it can still lag.
Regards.

Try to figure out why GNex is slower in landscape than portrait while you're at it. It's very frustrating in ICS based launchers and Google chrome.

I just set the button glow animation to off. I actually prefer it set that way. So Win/Win!

For me, turning button glow animation off has no effect, even after a reboot. What I mean is, the glow animation is still there.

I've also noticed the lag/stutter when showing screen previews with the home button. However, I don't get any lag/stutter if I initiate screen previews with a gesture or other methods, only the home button.
Is this fix already included in any ROMs?

That's not a lag. Ever hear of animation? It takes a sec or 2 to complete. Is intended that way.

It's a juddering of the normal animation. It's definitely a lag. Try not to be rude

android is big
thank you adrynalyne, i was actually talking to myself, you just took all the fun and dispair away with not one, but 4 great pointers.
more seriously, i'm glad you took the time to awnser/search it. thanks.

If you are running CM9 or CM9 based ROM try enabling the 16bit transparency option and disable surface dithering. It makes absolutely no visible difference in quality but makes a huge difference in performance.

You know I've always wondered why there was this little Stutter/Lag whatever you wanna call it when I press the app drawer button.
I'am running AOKP and just took the glow off and while the animation will always be there, I no longer have that little stutter as it opens.
I was meaning to ask about this in some Rom threads, gingerbread app drawer always seemed so much faster opening. Since ICS is suppose to be better, I always thought, something wasn't right.
So much smoother. I'll take it.

I have noticed in ICS, when let's say you play a game, lets say Temple Run, you press on the volume keys and a pop up comes up, then the game shutters until the popup is gone, same thing when you have the keyboard up and you navigate the screen, it lags until the keyboard goes away.
Why is it like that in ICS?

Nah. Its some method which they wrote code that is not efficient prioritizing the toast message. Thinking about it, a toast message can originate from almost infinite sources as long as the app/process is running. So it may be too difficult to cleverly handle properly prioritizing toast pop ups in an efficient way. That's all I can think of.
I know when I wrote an app, it was very easy to put in any toast message I wanted anywhere. So who knows what the proper way is to handle them on a OS or kernel level.

I hope they remove this animation from stock android not only from our device but ice in general. It just looks poor and doesn't add any value.

Two lines, you can adjust the animation time. Another line is for the actual image, which you can set to null for none.

I don't have lag, but I just rooted and then set up go launcher. I still don't see a ton of benefit to most ROMs currently. The phone is just too new, imho. Prolly worth waiting a few months for the roms to work the bugs out. Until then, i am enjoying the way go launcher basically de-touchwiz'd my note 2.

make sure you dont have "activate S-Voice with home button" that delays the home button response

Try this : go to setting /Developer options /enable Force GPU rendering . Set Window Animation & Transition Animation to .5. Lag will gone

Thanks, this did help with hitting the home button to wake. I've also noticed some slight lag though with using the home button in general. The UI is *so* fast, there's a noticeable lag when i hit the home button it seems. Say i'm on my home screen, i swipe left, i swipe right, i click the Apps button, all of that is lightning fast, but then i click the home button to go back home, and there's a noticeable lag, anybody else notice this, and find any "fixes" for it. I say "fixes" because obviously a 3rd world problem.

Like noted above, make sure you have Svoice home button activation turned off. That causes a lag.

Solution for laggy homescreen and systemUI in 4.2.2 update

As we all know that the 4.2.2 update made our phone as fast as the 4.1.2. But it has a bug, at least for Maguro (not happening on my N7). Do you ever get a laggy scrolling on homesceen, when entering app drawer and scrolling in recent apps? I believe everyone has it. But only few people notice it. I have tried all 4.2.2 ROMs. AOSPA, AOKP, PAC, etc and all of them has this bug (I have done a clean flashing). And I have tried all launchers, Nova, Apex, Holo, Action Launcher, Stock, but the lag is still back!
The (systemUI) lag has to do with rendering (static) wallpapers. This can be solved by:
1. Setting a live wallpaper
2. Temporarily, by pressing the app switcher button, rotating the screen and pressing the back button
3. Disabling system autorotate
4. Making the launcher (instead of systemUI) handle the rendering of wallpapers. In Nova launcher, use the 'force scrolling' option, in Trebuchet (CM) use the 'wallpaper quick render' option
5.. Using an app to set static wallpapers as if it were a live wallpaper
Also, emptying cache for all user and system apps using Titanium Backup seems to affect the issue positively. Please note that this might result in some settings being set to stock (like the keyboard, snooze duration and some other minor things).
Well, this is only for temporarily solution for those of you that getting sick of this bug. Waiting for the fix from Google.

To me 4.2.2 seems the most stable version so far, it's very much consistent, and scrolling in the recent apps menu gets laggy after I scroll a certain amount, and ofc when removing the process it lags, but this was present in 4.2.1 as well, i would have to say that as far as performance say, it's much more consistent than previous versions,
Static wallpaper or live, i see no difference

There's actually a lot of truth to the live wallpaper trick. Back on the Photon forums, we would use this technique to smoothen out the UI on our ICS and JB releases since we did not have a proper kernel and drivers, thus terrible onscreen performance. But this fix has existed since ICS! And it works!

Regarding the live wallpaper being smooth. It might have something to do with scrolling wallpapers too. How is everyone's feelings on a static, non scrollable wallpaper? Or is that what we are talking about?

I've had the choppyness too.
I am now using plasma beam and will report back. I also am going to try it on my nexus 10.

I'm telling you guys, try out the combo I posted in post 2. It really removes lag.

i use it like that(single homescreen no scroll)and i noticed the same lagging issue after a while
but i think it has to do with how you set the wallpaper, when i used zedge or image2wallpaper to set them the issue stated on the OP appeared
but if i use the stock gallery to set them and the problem is mostly gone
something else ive noticed is that the status bar lag only happens when on the launcher screen, open any app and pull the SB and its smooth, go back to the homescreen and pull it,its choppy
EDIT
still happens even after using the stock gallery

I've noticed the same problem with 4.2.2 ever since it came out. I usually use Phase Beam so I never noticed it. Only when I switched to a static wallpaper (one of the stock ones) for a day did I notice that the transitions into and out of app drawer and scrolling through home screens gets choppy. I never did find a way to reproduce it reliably, but I do know that if you use it long enough it will start to happen.
Immediately fixes itself by setting to any Live Wallpaper as OP had suggested.
Problem only started to occur with 4.2.2. Never had it happen in 4.2.1 or 4.1.x.

Set a static wallpaper, go back to home screen or lock your device. Then, swipe down the notification bar and notice how choppy it appears.
Now, go inside an application, like Calculator - swipe down the notification bar and notice how smooth it is.

Three little "problems" I found using the OnePlus 5T

Hey guys,
while I'm extremely happy with the phone (awesome screen, perfect fingerprint location IMO, general form factor), I've come across three little problems:
1.) The biggest "flaw": Using another launcher / wallpaper than the stock one causes the face-unlock to be slower. And if you set another launcher / wallpaper, there will be a noticeable delay when you turn on the screen: The wallpaper will take longer to appear on the screen than everything else.
2.) The time between hitting the power button on the right / using the double-tap-to-wake feature and the screen actually turning on is almost a second. Coming from the 3T btw, where it almost felt instant.
3.) I'm not sure whether it's a flaw but it's just something that looks strange: The greyish navbar when using a dark-themed app. (I wouldn't really call this a problem, it's just a consistency flaw you notice, while operating the phone.
So first of all: Do you have the same impressions? It might very well just be my phone and you don't encounter these problems. But in another thread I already read about the face-unlock time taking longer, when using another launcher / wallpaper.
Thanks in advance for any replies and experiences!

Thanks Lum_UK, but I already tried that one. I find it to be a bit slow in overlaying the "correct" color, i.e. the overlay isn't always there from the beginning when opening an app.
And I'm not interested in rooting anymore.

You can force it to just black in that app, which may be preferable to the grey, and avoids the delay issue.
Otherwise, probably not much you can do unless a future OOS adds new options.

You can turn off the animation in Navbar Apps as well. That way the correct color will load much faster.

I don't use Face Unlock, but everything turns on instantly for me.
However, the nav bar color oscuro the worst and I can't wait to get back to a good AOSP firmware. OxygenOS is great and all but missing very important features I just can't live (comfortably) without.

You're right! This means bye-bye then to face unlock, unless this is fixed. I'm using smart lock anyway. :good:

Thank you for all your replies so far! They really were helpful!
Now could you still say something about "problem" #1? Do you observe the same or is it different? So if you use another launcher / wallpaper, will the wallpaper take longer to load then everything else?

1. agreed, same exact issue here.
2. i dont have that issue. both FP and FU are pretty much instant. sounds strange. maybe factory reset is really the way to go.
3. yea i agree, not optimal.

Hey guys,
I just wanted to give a heads up to you: I just discovered how to avoid the 'wallpaper-lag' while turning the screen on when using a non-stock wallpaper or non-stock launcher:
1. Force stop the OnePlus launcher.
2. Uninstall any updates to it.
3. Use the launcher you like. (Tested with lawnchairs and Nova)
At least for me, the wallpaper lag is gone!

1.) The biggest "flaw": Using another launcher / wallpaper than the stock one causes the face-unlock to be slower. And if you set another launcher / wallpaper, there will be a noticeable delay when you turn on the screen: The wallpaper will take longer to appear on the screen than everything else.
2.) The time between hitting the power button on the right / using the double-tap-to-wake feature and the screen actually turning on is almost a second. Coming from the 3T btw, where it almost felt instant.
3.) I'm not sure whether it's a flaw but it's just something that looks strange: The greyish navbar when using a dark-themed app. (I wouldn't really call this a problem, it's just a consistency flaw you notice, while operating the phone.
So first of all: Do you have the same impressions? It might very well just be my phone and you don't encounter these problems. But in another thread I already read about the face-unlock time taking longer, when using another launcher / wallpaper.
Thanks in advance for any replies and experiences!

For 1) and 2) : Did you force stop the oneplus launcher? No lag here..
edit, I see @Sangraphim already posted this right above this post

Hey guys,
I just wanted to give a heads up to you: I just discovered how to avoid the 'wallpaper-lag' while turning the screen on when using a non-stock wallpaper or non-stock launcher:
1. Force stop the OnePlus launcher.
2. Uninstall any updates to it.
3. Use the launcher you like. (Tested with lawnchairs and Nova)
At least for me, the wallpaper lag is gone!

For me this doesn't solve the problem. If the wallpaper is set through another launcher (Nova in my case) and if I use Nova, when using face unlock, i first see the lock screen for some split seconds and then it unlocks. If the lockscreen wallpaper is set through the OnePlus launcher itself, it skips the split seconds on the lockscreen completely and goes directly onto the homescreen which feels much more instantaneous. Also if I'm using a live wallpaper, like the nice new Pixel wallpapers which I wanted to use, the problem occurs even when setting the wallpaper through the OnePlus launcher and when using OnePlus launcher itself.
I've uninstalled the OnePlus launcher updates and tried to force stop it (although this wasn't possible as it seemingly wasn't even started to begin with), but nothing changed.
And yes, the wallpaper will often times take longer to appear on the screen than everything else, exactly like Dimitry from Hardware Canucks demoed in his review:

This looks very glitchy in my opinion but is of course rather nitpicky.
And as Sangraphim said, the time between hitting the power button on the right / using the double-tap-to-wake feature and the screen actually turning on is definetly prolonged when using face unlock - but that's probably by design I guess, because it starts the front camera first and waits a bit to detect a face before actually turning on the screen.
