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.

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.

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.

There's an app in the Galaxy app store called good lock. The notification shade gets changed to more of a stock Android look and the lock screen has more customization options. After you download it installs itself like an update. Has anyone else tried this?
Notification shade
Just updated it, one step closer to looking like AOSP. I wonder if this is the new version of Touchwiz or just an alternative.
It's not very good looking. Needs to have options to change the colors.
Good thing its optional.
You can change the colors. In the routines settings.

Yeah I like it a lot, found it much faster and smoother then stock hope this is a tease of things to come. Only thing I found was motion wallpaper does not work. I have found most people dislike the recent apps but I find it faster and easier to use.

It was just released. I figure it can only improve, especially after they sift through all the initial feedback.
I uninstalled for now until they sort out the bugs. Was getting battery drain from it accessing my location so much.
Lockscreen effects are back!!!!
had to uninstall it because the notification suddenly became blurry and I couldn't see it anymore (though clicking on it would still complete the wanted action)
Running it and it is pretty good, you set up various "Routines" to change you WiFi, BT, color and other settings depending on location or time.
Works good but broken when used with the sammy LED case
Tried it yesterday. Intriguing. But buggy. Seems like Android system ui tuner could be activated, but wouldn't. Changed the behavior of my home button. Not sure if quick setting tiles could be changed. Status bar and notification tiles look a lot like stock Android N, but lock screen behaves like Jellybean. Looking forward to trying it again after more bug fixes.
Also, wifi calling notification appears twice. Lock screen widgets are not so useful if you like to use the fingerprint scanner. Same goes for the lock screen shortcuts. Fun to play with, though.
This breaks encrypted SD cards

Still no way of organizing the quick toggles, but a definite improvement over stock. I've not seen any increase in battery drain either, with AOD on I lost 8% over 12 hrs last night.
Quick question, I have seen a couple of places how to remove the white frames from around the icons.
Should be Settings > Display > Icon frames.
However in my new T-Mobile Note 7, that option is greyed out. I can't click on it to change the settings.
Has anyone else seen this? I would love some assistance.
Thanks in advance!

I think this option only works if you don't have a custom theme applied. If you switch back to the default theme, the option should be available again.
I've noticed the same thing using default thene.

Thanks for the reply. I haven't added a theme. the phone is brand new. I tried clicking on the default theme again just to make sure.

Maybe just download a frameless icon pack you like.
Having this problem too. Wonder if it's got to do with the system update that got applied on the first day?
Same possibly here. I'm on T-Mobile with default theme. I would like to remove the frame.
I have only been able to change this setting whike in easy mode (which i don't like). It is greyed out for me in standard mode as well.
Ok, I figured it out. I'm using Nova Launcher and Sammy doesn't like that. I changed to touch wiz for my launcher and suddenly Icon frames are available to change.
I changed back to Nova again afterwards, and the change stuck, so it seems to be a reasonable workaround.
Let me know if this works for you.
I don't have a custom launcher but I do have a theme. I deactivated the theme and it worked. I guess the theme locked the borders on. Sucks.
Yeah so I don't think it's launcher specific but rather theme based. Once you apply a theme it seems to lock in whatever the icon choice was. So I went back to default theme (which opened up the option again), changed to icon only, and then applied my theme again. Now it's locked again, but as icon only.
I have no theme and stock launcher and it is still greyed out. Switched to easy mode, made the change and went back and all is well now.

Has anyone had any luck removing the frames and using the Google Now Launcher? I can turn it off in TouchWiz and Easy Mode, but as soon as I switch back to Google Now Launcher they come back and the option to turn them off becomes I unavailable.
I might not mind these damned circles if it was consistent, but it only affects about half the app icons and the other half are normal. It's crazy to look at...
Yeah it seems like the only way to get them to stay TRULY off is to use touchwiz, using the standard them.
I know everyone is saying you can switch to off, then go back to what you were on - and it is "locked in off". I agree that it looks this way in the settings.
However the icons clearly have the frames around them still.
I have stuck with touchwiz for how smooth it is, but I think I am going to give up on it.
Also, the only reason why I say its smooth is because my initial setup was with "good lock" (needed to download an apk for that as it doesn't show up in store) and google now launcher and stuff - but there was a decent amount of choppiness and also the battery was not performing to my expectations. So I did a factory reset (which some people say fixes stuff like this) and sure enough, things got better. Battery better, smoothness better. However I have stuck with normal touchwiz since then... been afraid to change it since everything seems better now lol.
I hear you.
I had to try several different icon themes but i found one (that i like) that doesn't leave borders on the rest of the icons. I think it's some sort of default setting that goes unchanged when custom themes are created.
Trial and error. Good thing the Samsung theme store has a preview option. It reduces a lot of hassle.

Same here. I ended up going back to TouchWiz mostly because I couldn't stand the weird frames on some of the icons. It's not as good as the Google Now launcher, but it's good enough.
I've been searching for this answer for weeks, finally I found it, nearly started to think my device was faulty.
My option is unavailable and I have stock Rom and launcher.
But this option was available but not anymore. Can't understand why???
I have confirmed from many others that the new July brings up some improvements but also an annoying bug that glitches the animation when you rotate the screen from landscape to portrait.
Now I'm curious if we can do anything to fix this diy or we need to wait for Xiaomi to fix this ... next month.
What I tried until now:
-Enable developer option and mess with animations speed - no improvement, animations go slower, faster but the black screen glitch still remains
-Messed up with 3d and hardware acceleration in developer options - no improvement
-Narrowed down the glitch to the launcher since while outside the launcher the animation continues after a black screen appears and while in launcher the wallpaper blinks with no black screen.
-Tried installing aftermarket launcher and disabling the stock launcher ... but the stock launcher cannot be stopped and disabled
-After a 2nd launcher the bug still persist
-Reset the stock launcher and wipe cache and data - no improvement
-Reset System UI - no improvement
What else is there? How can we fix this OCD inducing glitch?
Hi,
I understand that this bug can be very annoying for those who often watch videos or use landscape mode apps.
But honestly I doubt there could be an easy fix (without root and customizing program)
So I'm afraid we will have to live with it at least until next update...

I think there COULD be a solution, not sure tho. I am just curious what could cause the glitch, what process, or what app.
Maybe there could be someone knowing how the inner works of the system work, or what exactly did the OTA modified. Maybe the bug could be fixed by a simple data deletion. I don't know...
Hello.
I don't like animations, so I disabled it all. Maybe this will be usefull for you, at least as alternative solution until an update solve the problem.
Go to Settings -> Acessibility -> Turn off animations

If you want to drop the animations settings in developer options below the available .50 to .25 here are the commands. Please only do this if you know what you doing I'm not responsible for your mistakes! Do your research before applying these settings.....
Assuming you know what adb is and how to set it up below are the commands, if not give it a google as I will not post how to do it.
Check your device is connected
adb devices
To set scales to .25
adb shell
settings put global window_animation_scale 0.25
settings put global transition_animation_scale 0.25
settings put global animator_duration_scale 0.25
To Check what they are set to
settings get global window_animation_scale
settings get global transition_animation_scale
settings get global animator_duration_scale
These settings stay after a reboot but is not reflected in developer settings to put back to .50 or whatever change the .25 to what you want.

Yes you can in developer options but certain things just ain't right like when you turn them off and pull down the notification drawer it comes down so quick that you sometimes select a notification without meaning to unless you have lightening reflexes.

Maybe only one of the Pixel animation settings needs to be partially delayed, the rest can be cut to zero and still avoid that behavior.

If you turn them all completely off, then things like the loading spinner, don't spin. Because of this, I turn them all off except Animator duration, which will fix this. I set it to the lowest setting, 0.01x -- if the custom ROM allows, otherwise I do the stock 0.50x. In the past I have used this adb command though to get it lower. Works nicely.

Interesting; it's integrated with features and hard to get around. I didn't expect this but can see the design logic. Be nice if they had some plugins to modify the UI without resorting to a 3rd party launcher.
The N10+'s notifications pull down comes down at whatever speed you pull it down. No false touches; you need to release the display before it becomes active. However if animations is active it's like waiting for the story to end... anoying.
I've also gone down to 0.25x but what's the lowest you can go without hitting zero?
I'm not entirely sure, try it!!! You can always change it back if it doesn't work. I'm sure I've read somewhere that they go down to 0.01

I always run like that. For giggles and kicks I'll try setting animation duration to .5
All animation waste resources and make a fast machine look woke goofy.
Update, no improvement at all. If fact it made it slightly slower. I experience no lag when I hit the recent nav button with no animation. With duration .5 active I can see the delay.
