[SOLVED] Chrome not showing animation when opening new tab - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

Somehow lost my keyboard haptics and CRT screen-off effect

I think these issues started after I rooted and unlocked the bootloader, though I can't remember.
I originally turned off haptic keyboard feedback but then decided to try again the other day. It doesn't matter what the setting is in keyboard options, there is no haptics. I can still feel the phone vibrate when I unlock it or get a message though.
And I'm not sure how I lost the CRT screen-off animation. Any ideas on how I can get it back?

For the screen off animation, go to Developer options in Settings and set the Windows animation scale to "Animation scale 1x". See if that helps.
same here except I'm not rooted or anything

Thanks, that was the problem with the crt screen off effect.

Great, thanks. I was messing around in Dev options, thought I had reversed everything though.
Still don't have any keyboard haptics though, any ideas?

Android 4.3 laggy

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.

Any way to speed up or remove stock browser's animations?

The stock browser is great but the animations are painfully slow. Why would Samsung add such an annoying "feature?" Unfortunately almost every other browser has jittery scrolling , a problem I also had on my Note 3. Is there any possible way they can be removed or find a modified apk somewhere? Thanks everyone.
Activate 'Developer Options' (on the build number in 'About', press it 7 times) and inside change the animation scales to lowest (right now it is set either at 1x or 1.5x).. there are three options to change..

I actually already have them turned off completely. But that only applies to system animations. The animations within apps are separate, and it's those in-app animations within the stock browser that are unessecarily slow. I wish I could get rid of them completely.

[Q] How do we bring back the lollipop animations?

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.

[SOLVED] System UI Tuner doesn't show up in Android M

Just flashed Android M final version from factory image, try the method (long tap on Settings gear) for System UI Tuner, but nothing happens...
Any idea?
It took me several tries to get it to work. I finally went to settings to see if I missed the message, but I didn't. Once I did it once from the settings screen it worked.

Probably the animation is disabled in developer option. Enable it and reboot.

Yes, i disabled the animation...i hope that's the reason...i am not have the tab with me right now, so can't try immediately.
Thanks!
Google is hiding everything from users as usual.
System UI tuner is nowhere to be found on Nexus 7 by default even under developer options. It just doesnt exist!
In order to enable System UI tuner on your Nexus 7 in the first place you have to long tap settings icon and then you get message "congratulations, system UI tuner has been enabled"
Enjoy!
BTW, there is no vertical app drawer by default on Nexus 7 either! You have to download "Google Now Launcher" app from Google Play/ Carefully read notifications once you open this app, it is asking if you want to transfer all icons on your current homescreen to new one or start from scratch

the animation was the trick...or the bug?
Anyway, it's working now.
I am unable to get this to activate. I went under develop options to check the animation settings. All I see is: window animation scale, transition animation scale, and animator duration scale. All 3 are at 1x. Any thoughts?
im using a note 3 running resurrection remix android 6.0.1 and i am also unable to enable system ui tuner. Developer options is turned on, animations are turned on as well, but the gear will not spin and i cannot get the toast message no matter how many times i try to press and hold the button. Please help.
my t-mobile galaxy note 5 just updated to Marshmallow, and i am not able to enable the system ui tuner. any help ?

let me know if you get any answers.
I have the same problem. Doesn't work.
With Cyanogenmod 12.1 (latest smapshot) my problem is the same. The cog keeps spinning around and stops when I don't touch it anymore. Is it possible to edit some config file to activate the System UI Tuner? Or isn't there any Sytem UI Tuner in the Cyanogenmod releases at all?
Heinz
^It does the same in CM13 on my i777. I'm pretty sure it doesn't do anything because those settings are already available in CM.
sorry, wrong phone
How is this SOLVED? I am having the same problem on a non rooted Samsung galaxy s5. And this did not explain why it is not working or how to get to the system ui tuner. I've tried everything, but the gear doesn't spin at all. And in all the pics I've seen, none of them have hardware buttons like the galaxies do, they've always been the buttons on the screen, the back button, the home button, and the menu button.
I am using asus zenphone 2 laser 5.5.....
I can't enable the system ui tunner...
I tried all the way what are clearly shown above.
Any one help me

Touchwiz removed the settings with one of its updates. There is no current access to the System UI.
Recommend removing the SOLVED part of the title, so as to not confuse anyone searching for solutions.

I've tried all the options mention in this thread. But cudnt get into the system ui. Is it device specific or all marshmallow devices are supported? Please help me in a more detailed method if possible. I'm using Symphony i10 mtk6580 android 6.0 device.

Unfortunately it may not be a universal fix. Decided to share just in case it might work for anyone else
