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

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.

1+ for using spare parts on fast window translation.
Has anyone noticed that the official Android 4.3 update is laggy as hell?
Like swyping through homescreens has lag even in the settings app it lags like crazy when scrolling and tapping on things
Has always run great for me. Did you factory reset after updating. Just like any computer its a good idea to occasionaly start fresh.

My SD card was the issue somehow. It was a generic one I replaced it with a real samsung one and its good now
My battery drain was also being caused by the SD card via media server trying to access it

This section might be hidden on some phones, but it’s very easy to access. On many phones, you just have to open a certain page in the settings and tap a button seven times. Use Google to figure out how to enable Developer options on your phone if it’s currently hidden (for example, search “enable developer options HTC One”).
Once you have access to Developer options, simply scroll until you find the following three settings, which may be located on the main screen or within an “Advanced” subsection:
Window animation scale
Transition animation scale
Animator animation scale
Tapping each of the three aforementioned settings will reveal that it’s set to “1x” by default. If you want to speed up your phone or tablet dramatically, simply change each of those three settings to “.5x” — that’s it.
Just to clarify, this doesnt actually speed up performance afaik. But it does make the device seem a bit snappier as it speeds up transitions.
It used to make more of a difference than it does now though. I think it was set to 1.5x or 3x in previous versions, so the change made more of a noticeable difference.

So it seems HTC has decided to remove all Lollipop animations from this phone. Even with the new play store update released today, none of the animations work. It just "appears".
Is there any way to bring these back? Even Samsung leaves them alone.
Samsung's animations are not lollipop animations, they are lollipop like, but not lollipop. You could use a launcher like Nova and turn on lollipop slide up animations.

No, I meant that samsung didn't remove any animations. HTC actually went out of their way to remove all the animations even in apps like the play store.
I use apex, so I have animations on the home screen, but not anywhere else.

I keep trying to tell people this. HTC has made their animations so fast that, at times, the phone seems choppy and less smooth than other lollipop phones.
Animations are on, just really quick.
I can only suggest slowing them down in the settings.
Settings > Developer Options > Advanced
Then change the speed to 0.5x =)
Developer Options is enabled by pressing build number multiple times.
About > Software Information > More
Hopefully that helps

You do realize that animations just slow the interface down, yes?

By 0.5 seconds? Yeah, I'm okay with that at the expense of fluidity. I hate things just appearing.

0.5x makes it faster, but I get your point. It still doesn't make a difference sadly.
Hi,
I was using Google Chrome on my G3 (v5.0, not rooted) and when I opened a link in a new tab nothing happened, I don't remember if an animation used to happen showing a tab in the bottom opening in the background but this animation is present on the Nexus 5 and on my rooted LG Nitro HD (flashed with CM for v4.4.4).
And when I press the square button to see the running apps I don't see my newly opened tab at the very beginning then directly it appears.
Tried clearing Chrome's cache and rebooting my phone nothing changed.
Can you try it and help if it's a problem?
Thanks,
Wow. I would return the phone right now.
Huge flaw.

Thanks for not helping, I didn't complain anywhere in my post, but seeing this animation not working made me think about other animations maybe not working or a decrease in the smoothness of my phone.
Go to settings, access Developer options, check these: Window animation scale, Transition animation scale, Animator duration scale. These are your animations, check if some are off.
If you cant access Developer options, go to about phone and click 7 times on your Build number. After that you will be able to access Developer options.

Thanks a lot man! The Window animation scale and Transition animation scale were both off! I had Developer options enabled but I never ever messed with them... I suspect it's the battery saving feature because when it's enabled all animations are turned off so maybe it was a bug and they were not enabled after it. I didn't think about checking developer options and I started clearing all caches of chrome, home, systemui, reinstalling chrome and wasting my time.. so thank you, a G3 with no animations isn't the same
I like to keep things snappy and always set all of the three animation settings to 0,5 from developer settings.I see that the animation speed is resetting to default after a while, then you have to change it back and forth to make it fast(0,5) again... Anyone else?
0,5 works for me fine.
The settings should not change by itself.
That said, why do you need to change these Settings in modern phones? They are too fast already, and animations actually look good.

Yes, but when you are used to the fast animation speeds and snappiness for many years, the normal animation speed looks and feels sooooo slooooww.
The actual setting keeps the same and won't change, but the animation becomes slower. When I tick the animation to anything else and back to 0,5 it is fast again... I notice it when pull down the notification menu.
Maybe a factory reset will fix it.

I too was using 0.5x. Then I asked the same question to myself and switched to default 1x. I'm now used to this default setting and it is quite good.
I've set it to 0.25 via SetEdit. jOnePlus Tools unfortunately can't be installed.
And I also have a feeling this setting doesn't survive long enough.

They are not, difference between 1.0 and 0.5 is a night and day.
Just going into developer menu and going back and seeing the sliding animation duration on 1.0 and on 0.5 feels like it is just slow on default settings.
As always, it is a matter of personal preference.

That was a setting to make your phone feel faster, snappier. Today's phones aren't slow or laggy like before. And the animations look good at the default setting.

No, this was and is setting to adjust various animations durations as per description.
The result is quicker, snappier or slower, more fluent feel in corelation to settings applied but as you point yourself, not for everyone this option is needed.
For you its quick, for me the default animation length is slow and I prefer 0,5 multiplier.
And for everyone else it is a personal choice whichever option suits them best.

I agree. Although I prefer 0.3x multiplier. 1x makes me impatient, particularly managing the notification tray when in a hurry.
Bro I also faced this issue a few weeks ago, no one faced this issue similar to me. Animations were getting reset to 1x after a while. I accidentally noticed - if pocket detection is enabled, and you try to unlock device with upper portion of the phone covered, you get "pocket detection" warning. That's when animations get reset, at least for me that was the trigger point. Check if you have the similar issue and disable pocket detection

I have the pocket detection enabled with 0.3x animations functioning even after reboots. Maybe something is going on with some of your software, guys.
