PotD: What do you have your sh@phone animation scales set to?

[Kalahari Inkantation]

this almost certainly applies to android alone but idk (sorry icucks, i don't know if a setting like this exists on ios lol)

But anyway, I have mine set to 0.5x. Android feels much snappier that way.

turning them off entirely would be even faster but it just looks odd and possibly causes glitches

the 'other' option is there because the scales can be mixed for different animation types (window/transition/duration), but i don't know why anyone would do this

i have an android and i have no idea what you're talking about

1x on everything which is the default.

I've tried no animations for a minute before but that was too jarring.

huh

I just leave mine at the default 1x. Developer options aren't really meant for everyday use and it's not like animations ever bother me on my phone. On my desktop, on the other hand, I use a gnome extension to speed up animations.

i have an android and i have no idea what you're talking about

Android developer options let you change the speed of animations, like 0.5x makes them twice as fast, 2x makes them twice as slow

The options are: animations off, 0.5x, 1x, 1.5x, 2x, 5x, 10x

huh

settings > developer options > set window/transition animation scales, and animation duration scale, all to 0.5x

and instantly your device seems snappier

in truth, i partly made this topic to get a sense of how many people are aware of this at all lol

it's a very quick and easy way to make lagdroid feel faster

as you can see, it does make a difference

although i personally stick to 0.5x as turning animations off entirely is, as lote says, a little too jarring imo lol

I only have the option to remove animations

Pixel 2 btw

You should definitely have the option to tweak animations in increments of .5 in settings > developer options.

at least, as far as oreo goes lol

How is that Pixel treating you, by the way?

[Mando Pandango]

I didn't in Oreo and I don't in Pie that I can see

Also it's a good phone but the USB-C to 3.5mm adapter broke already
