Increase your SGS speed by just changing Settings

cavinsoo · Sep 7, 2010

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?

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

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

FrezoreR · Sep 7, 2010

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.

sturmeh · Sep 7, 2010

If you get Spare Parts you can speed it up, which has the same effect without destroying the prettiness.

Psychotoxic · Sep 7, 2010

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

jodeltje · Sep 7, 2010

What exactly does the powersaving mode do?

distortedloop · Sep 7, 2010

You could probably write a script for sl4a that adjusts many of those.
