So I found this thread in the International section and its a neat little tweak. Should definitely give a try. Phone feels much snappier!

Thanks to niknag for this tweak!


P.S.I posted this in the General Section of the AT&T, Sprint T-Mobile Verizon Galaxy S III thread , but it seems each carrier has its own specific General Thread as well so I'll post it here also.
@Mods - Please delete this thread if necessary.

Just FYI, this does not induce better "performance" or speed, technically speaking. What it does is cause a faster display of window animations. 1x = normal speed, .5x means half speed. I currently have a AOKP build that is .75, which I think is the sweet spot. Still gives you some animation, but it's quicker than 1x.

Yeah i know, but I don't know about you but when ever I return to my home screen or pull up the recent apps list I notice a considerable lag. It s probably because of touchwiz but the above method certainly makes things faster than before. Just saying :p

Do you have s voice? If so, if you disable the double press of the home button to launch s voice you will have no lag going back to home screen from stuff.

Yep I did that, and that made it slightly faster, but it was still lagging on some occasions , but changing the transitions fixed that completely. Maybe its just Touchwiz but either ways, I don't see any lag anymore. Don't get me wrong, even with the lag, the S III is amazingly fast (coming from a captivate :p)

    How about forcing GPU rendering? While back looking at it folks were split on if it helped or not - any way to test it via benchmarking?
