stock settings Developer options. Transition&Window Animation - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

has anyone ever bothered to go into developer options in settings and turn off transition animations scale or windows animation? to see if things are speeded up even more so. I noticed with windows animation off, the setting screens just pop onto the screen vs. a more gradual appearance of it. I'm trying it with those off to see if any noticeable increase in UI speed. although my UI was fast n lag free before, I'm just curious to see if speed increased even more. Someone brought up a point before that one reason IOS UI is fast because they don't have fancy transition animations n such like android. so cutting those off "should" theoretically improve ICS UI.

I just use the app "spare parts" to speed up the window and transition animations.

I have that app also. but instead of just speeding them up, you can completely shut them off. things do move alot faster as far as ui goes. if you put the transitions to 10x you get this cool slow mo fading effect when switching to certain tasks or apps. but going into developer options and cutting off windows animation and transition animation does speed things up. they pop on the screen that much faster.
I might try out the spare parts thing to see how that fares. reminds me of an app I had on Ipad, jailbreak needed, that was like a fake gpu accelerator. all it did was speed up window animation and transition animation. it worked well so ill take a look at this. I'd still think completely shutting them off is the fastest method vs. speeding them up.
edit update: I just tried out spare parts like you said. Do you know what speeding up the windows n transitions animations really does in that app? lol all it does is change the developer animation settings. I compared it. OK for example stock developer settings has windows and transition set at 1X by default. now if you go into spare parts app and put those animations to fast, all it did was change developer options animations to .5x speed. so really that spare parts app is not even needed for that. you can go straight into developer options and change this without needing that app. I did it a few times and looked back n forth at spare parts settings then developer options and all it does is change developer option speed. which I can do within Asus settings itself. even in the app description it says cutting them off brings fastest device performance.

I still wish we could find out a more technical answer on if Forcing GPU rendering helps or not. and if it does, is there extra battery drain? only seen mixed answers. nothing concrete yet. I have noticed in the developers section there's a custom rom calles WSG rom. one of his features is that he basically cut off CPU rendering and forced GPU rendering full-time. been hearing good things about how fast it is. I wonder if its the same as going into developer options and forcing gpu rendering. Anyone has any technical insight into this?

I think I was the one who mentioned the screen transition in a thread where someone was calling the TFP laggy.
I have mine set to none. I don't see why anybody would use screen transitions. Isn't instant screen changes what everyone wants?

cutting off those animations does bring instant screen changes. I think I will leave them off. UI is even faster than before with them off. everything, as far as UI. launching apps, etc..is instant.

here is technical info on what happens when you Force GPU rendering. I asked the developer MasterZen about it in his thread. He isbthe Creator of WSG Rom, where he added the feature of removing software(CPU) rendering and forcing GPU rendering full-time. here's his quote:
" FULL GPU rendering puts our tablets into a state where all the rendering steps, both rasterization and scene composition, are handled by the GPU. The rasterization step in the rendering phase takes all the display list objects, either vectors and bitmaps, and creates textures to be rendered. Then the textures are copied on to the buffer. Thus freeing up our CPU for more excessive task"

That's how apple does it! I am telling you guys why do you think they use extensive amounts of VRAM and also why they leave their CPU clocked so god damn low!
We should start forcing that in all roms and send a letter to Andy Rubin if we find it helps a bunch!

I'm not noticing any drawbacks at the moment on full gpu rendering. MasterZen said in his thread that he will put together a beta team to see if it has any drawbacks or improvements to battery performance.

good idea. plus people should definitely go into developer options and cut off the windows and transition animations, tablet is Wahhabi more snappier now. add force gpu rendering and UI n everything becomes really fast. mines was already great before but cutting off those animations took it to another level. I'm forcing gpu rendering also to see how that fares also. we might be on to something

Wow... i just changed the Windows and transition animation setting to 0.5 instead of 1.0 and enabled the force gpu option. There is a Noticeable improvement in GUI speed for the interface. I like the eye candy so didn't want to completely turn them off.
Thanks for the tip!

Def a speed boost when turning off animations.

OK. ill do it tonight. I doubt the animations would affect anything but forcing GPU rendering could have dramatic effect for the positive in the benchmarks. as far as gpu side of things goes.

[Guide]Make an Optimus One to fit you, save battery and get best performance!!!

Code:
This guide is just something to give you choices, anything you do it's your job, but just get some inspiration;)
WARNING!!! I am not responsible for anything you do to your phone, just try not get too fuzzy with it, or you will brick your phone!!!
Most the thing here will be for rooted phones, if something not working don't blame me, blame GOOGLE...
This only Applies to stock GB and CM 7.1 by mik_os, any other ROMs may not be supported, sorry.
READ©Up There!!!
Any extra info and apps are welcome
* - No danger, definitely go for it!!!
** - This may make your phone unstable, but if you find the solution in time, you are fine...
*** - May make your O1 un-start-able...
**** - Can brick the phone, can destroy it forever!!!
Install CyanogenMod, it will save at least 100MB of your internal storage(as all apps are on ROM, LG apps are on internal memory in stock).
Also, may do much more better things to your phone, but be careful.
Try custom kernels by franco for overclock!!!
First of all, lets start with the CPU****
Use SetCpu
I will tell the frequencies, and what I recommend for, any other advises are good, for any frequency, or atleast the major ones(122-480-600-729-768-806-864)
122MHz** - Lowest, but there are some things:
- Use this if you don't use your phone, only for rare talking and stuff...
- If you have 2% battery drops in 2 mins after you turn the screen on, this is the problem of 122 min...
- If you use your phone more than 1 time/hour (no matter how much), don't use this as min...
245MHz* - Avoid it at all costs, it does nothing good, takes same battery as 480, but it is slower, finish tasks slower, don't use...
320MHz* - This is not good for anything...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
480MHz* - My favorite, 90% of my use, will save battery, fast response, maybe it will work as max a bit, some apps work like a charm on 480
- Anyone using the phone for anything else other than calling... this is the best!!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
600MHz* - use it if no need for OverClock, as I noticed, only Angry Birds and Facebook app gets boosted...
729MHz** - Best Overclocking for battery, will not affect any of your phone, battery is as much as 600, no way you shouldn't use it, no heat up also!!!
768MHz** - best performance without affecting hardware, it will heat up a bit...
806MHz**** - Last one that will not burn it in 5 minutes, I would not go any higher...
864MHz**** - If this works on your phone, it is 100% new and 100% perfect!!!
MENTIONS, VERY IMPORTANT: It depends on your phone, manufacture errors, your phone may go stable @864MHz, or it may not go higher than 600... mine goes at 768MHz, any higher gets me KP...
If you don't need profiles, just get No Frills***
Governors
minmax - like the name, goes to min or to max, it is horrible!!!
Scary - a modified conservative, a bit weird... try it you may like it, better at battery than conservative, worse at gaming, non-gamers, try this!
SmartassV2 - Good, try, great... a better version of smartass, use this if you have it, great for fast gaming, but not good for long use...
SavagedZen - WTF IS THIS???????
smartass - it changes the frequency very good, it really is smart, see v2↑
conservative - goes up and down in stages, not 122→729, but 122→320→600→652→…, really good for long uses and short uses, not taking battery like others, but it has a lower start when gaming, lag in 1st 2 minutes, but then it is no more lag, tested on "Diversion", a really cool highend game.
ondemand - this is what you had when the phone came!!!
userspace - WTF IS THIS??????
powersave - keeps at minimum frequency...
interactiveX - modified version of interactive, which goes to max in second... it is same as SmartassV2, a bit stabler on my phone.
performance - stays at max...
SmartassV2 and InteractiveX have build-in sleep profiles, it saves battery when standby-ing and best performance at gaming, while scary gets you best battery and a usable phone, and conservative the best performance/battery.
Next, VM heap(RAM allowed for an app):*
This will take more RAM, but will boost the CPU and more things...
On CM7, go to performance settings-VM heap
On stock ROM, install VM heap tool from the market...
Set it to 32MB*, this is already done in CM7, but on stock ROM it is easy and then then BOOSTED...
24MB will slow apps...**
48MB will fill the RAM fast, making system autokill kill too fast...**
OR just change the value in build.prop
Use a simple launcher, that may save battery and use low CPU... Here are my recommends:***
Nemus Launcher*
- Looks a bit like LGHome, and takes less battery
- Very smooth, look at the video it has on the market...
- It really is fast response and quick launch, a new experience
- Very simple, smooth and
LauncherPro*
- Very good, my personal favorite, will save battery and keep options, will need to be updated if ICS comes, tho...
- Smooth, but no horizontal drawer...
ADW*
- I hate that this is hard control, not very smooth, YOU have to chose it, but if you tried more, you will see it is not the smoothest, not the most customisable, but a pretty good combination...
- You can get used to it, but if you used LGHome for more than a month, you won't need this, you will quit it!
Zeam*
- This one gets updated, and really fixes the bugs it had... it is not an usual one, but minimalistic, like it says
- Most of the big launcher won't get updated anymore, abandoned...
- This one is good, but it is not exactly smooth, but power save
GO Launcher**
- With the right combination, they say you have it smooth, I didn't
- Did 2 factory resets because of the corrupted data after a few glitches that made me remove the battery...
- DO NOT SET default if you want this, dangerous... only thing that did something bad when I was not rooted, got me bootloops((((((
Watch out the setting you enable, maybe you don't need all kinds of gestures, anything you don't use, DISABLE!!!*
APPS TO USE OR NOT TO USE, YOUR OPINION IS BETTER, THIS IS JUST MY ADVICE:
NO TASK KILLERS(ATK, ATM, TasKiller). Use minfree, set the values you need, the other tweaks you need and enjoy!
Juice Defender will only help you... really when does it help?????
Link2SD - easiest way to manage, freeze, uninstall, move2sd, any app management that requires root, except backup!!!
Just uninstall any app you don't need!
Data on Demand - Really good, try it
Freeze system apps (Link2SD above!!!) with ugly UI and slow, like the Browser and Gallery (YOU MUST), but get a better app before that, with all those missing functions...
Replace Gallery with QuickPic and Browser with Dolphin, which is the only one with cool UI, fast startup and FULL, Opera Mini and Mobile are NOT full, but they are fast
If you want to save your eyes, use Screen Filter*
Yahoo Mail and Gmail are huge hogs!!! If you don't need instant notifications, use stock for that, it refreshes automatically when you start it, takes 2 seconds to refresh, and no battery lost...
Disable profiles in SetCpu if you don't need, that takes battery too!
Use Autostarts, this is your problem, your apps, good luck, but watch out...*** If you want, google autostarts.apk, I got it that way
Disable unused settings, never use high quality in games and apps, that are made for hdpi, O1 is MDPI...*
Don't use wifi when it is not there, just hogs battery, I know some people use it everytime, everywhere, just get it on when you use it, or if you have at home...*
GPS* - This only works OUTDOOR, don't enable it in the house
Get brightness to minimum, will save your eyes and trust me, get it to max in sun and you see it perfect, get it off when at home and see it the same...*
AutoSync* - Disable sync for crappy apps, some things just sync without working at all...
Data* also takes lot of battery(very much, actually), so disable it when not in use, if you want it off when screen off, use Data on Demand
Also, empty your screens, don't use 10 widgets per screen, I use 1 and I am happy, they don't inform you that much, you know...
*Disable setting you don't need( like the high quality images in cm7 menu, what is it good at Optimus one?), eg: I never use gestures, I type Facebook faster than making an "f" in gestures, and that takes some of the CPU, disable everything you don't need or that doesn't help!!!
Angry birds(not seasons and Rio, only the classic) has an option to disable the background, that will make it 2x faster...
Disable history you don't need, flash when you don't need...*

suggestion #1 - lower the font size!
SetCPU - runs as a service, instead I'd suggest a boot script or No Frills
VM heap tool - just change the value in build.prop no need for an app
SD Cardbooster - use init.d script or add your desired value to init.local.rc
Autostarts - take it or leave it, most of the startup processes end up cached and not actually loaded into memory. It will improve boot times though.
Advanced Task Killer - Most experts don't suggest task killers... they're not needed.

OK this may help, but no average user can do them, they will just brick there phone...
In thinking about it, I hate Task Killers, Androids memory management is actually pretty good. Instead search "minfree" on the Market and play with the settings. It's safer and more effective.
Task killer + noob = disaster.

Ammm....no Hogs Here on 806, running smooth and hardly made a difference from 729-806 wrt battery draining FOR ME.
just make sure u dont keep all your apps open in the background.
and About the Task manager
i use TaskKiller its got a nice 1 button end apps widget that runs in 1x1 mode. And u can add running services to the ignore list, like DSP manager, Google Services, Messages etc that wont flood the Running apps list, And Whenever u use other apps like Market,Maps or the Browser and wont use it soon again u can end those apps and get some free ram over there.
Specially after Playing some games and browsing pics using a PicManager.

I cannot recommend a task killer, everyone knows about them, but memory managers are only for root, so they must get known, I will recommend no task killer, sorry(to avoid noobs getting lower performance just because.they can't make an ignore list...)
What should I do with cache, does it speed it up or just make some stuff slower, or cached data may even boost?

I disagree saying 806 or whatever is a battery hog. there is no recommended frequency, as everybody uses their phone differently. Some may use CPU intensive apps or functions that are only good for battery at maybe 806mhz. For those light users, overclocking isn't very good, as their need for CPU is less and overclocking just drains more battery.

I don't know what to say, the 480 and 122 have same voltage, and the battery it takes works in SmartAssV2, interactiveX is made for gaming and using it, but I don't think it will keep at lowest, I will add that interactive governors are better at 122 min, but Amy others, I think best is 480, it depends so much on the governor, try scary, that is cool.to see how the frequencies change very odd...

[Q] GPU rendering/Rosie Scroll

The major thing I look at with roms is the smoothness of the rosie scroll. A lot of roms are perfect but I can't stand the laggy/slow scrolling. I noticed that even if there's a smooth/ultra smooth rosie option on some of these roms, it is still slow, but on other roms like Prime XL, it's smooth as butter ( I don't use prime because of all the random reboots). Is this because some ROMs don't have GPU rendering? If that's the case, how would I go about enabling it or forcing it?
Find a Rom that has it check the build.prop copy it (it should be labeled) past it into your build.prop if you can't do it I can do it for ya
Sent from my mom's Nexus S 4G..... It's True lol
Nevermind, I found the build.prop. debug.sf.hw = 1 enables GPU rendering right? Is that it?
I'd be willing to bet that a tweak such as forced gpu rendering would maybe make the scrolling smoother, but I can't imagine it being more stable or safe than without.

{ICS}{Misc} -> Force GPU Rendering

Hi all, I would like to have opinion from you guys.
Under Development Settings, There Is a Force GPU rendering option
Force GPU Rendering []
Use 2D hardware acceleration in applications
Is it good to enable it or not ?
Some of my friends say Yes, some say No.
Well, I would like to have opinion from you guys now

Graphics are handled in one of two ways, "software", which means the primary CPU does the heavy lifting, and "hardware" which means the GPU does the lifting. Hardware rendering is better because it frees up CPU clock cycles for other stuff, so the phone moves faster/smoother (plus GPUs are designed to excel at the types of calculations graphic intensive applications do). This feature supposedly forces programs to use the GPU to paint 2D objects on the screen (2D was previously unsupported, so most apps and the base UI were software accelerated, 3D should be hardware by default), but it can cause crashing, bugginess.
Devs have the option to enable hardware acceleration with a simple line of code (according to Google at least.) If they choose to enable it, the app will be hardware accelerated regardless of what you set in there.

Thanks for your info, mate
So that's why some app behaves weirdly, right?
My camera behaves weirdly. And the black background of apps tends to have a white gradient from bottom up.
so, you enable it or not?

Are you using Chainfire3D?
You can try to compare and contrast with GPU rendering on and off.
Eg the back ground of root explorer. There will be LIGHT WHITE GRADIENT from bottom up.
No, I'm not using ChainFire3D. But I've tried it before. It ruins my graphics, games don't function properly even.

Yeah, I know. But it still don't function properly. Sheesh...
I only use it while I'm gb where everything works fine.
Mate, spare our poor Qualcomm S2...
Playin Tegra games on ray it's like pushing it to the limit ouch
If it's Qualcomm S4 with Dual Core 1.5GHz Krait Processor. You're good to go

Quick speed tip for the Nexus 10

A little speed boost for the Nexus 10.
Settings, About Tablet, then keep tapping the build number,you will see a "countdown".keep tapping.
Under developer options go to..
Window animation Scale..set to .5x
Transition animation scale..set to .5x
Defaults are 1x and max is 10x(super slow).
Now when using the app manager icon(double pane box)your apps snap in and out quicker.
I remembered using this tip for my GS III and it works flawlessly on the N10..Enjoy!

Does this just speed animations up or uses less resources?

I would imagine it just adjust the speeds of the animations.
Is it normal that I dont have the developer option in my settings menu?!
When I go under security/device admin thres nothing there, it says "no users"...

Uppers
I remember doing this on infinity this just speeds up animation transitions.

Speeds up animations. Makes it "feel" like the overall device is faster
Wouldn't the best option be to just set "Animation off" instead of "Animation scale .5x" to achieve the most optimize effect? While you are in the developer settings don't forget to enable "Force GPU rendering" for a graphical speed boost to applications that disables GPU rendering by default.

Thanks. I don't like animation on so I turned off.

I know its of topic but anybody using Engadget site knows how can I zoom in after the new site. I don't seems like to find the way. thanks
placebo... this doesn't make the nexus 10 any faster...
and forcing GPU rendering may break some apps, there's a reason why it's hidden in the developer's section...
OK so I tapped it a few times now all it says is you are already a developer. Now what?

It doesn't make it faster. It gives the illusion of it appearing to be faster though... Same could be said about putting the animation speeds at 10x. Won't make the device any slower, but it will feel very slow.
And yes, forcing GPU rendering can break some apps, but for majority of apps, it works fine. Most apps are GPU-accelerated anyway.

Low fps/crack/lag/stutter in settings.

Hey guys...
I can't help but notice fps/crack/lag/stutter when i scroll through settings and i think it's time i share this because no matter what i do it's still there.
When i'm in the launcher,everything's so smooth but in settings it's bad..especially when comparing to cm10/10.1 where scrolling through settings is a breeze...
Have anyone else noticed this?How did you fix it?
Thanks.
Btw i'm on Ultima 8.1.2 and [email protected] cpu+640mhz gpu but it doesn't matter really,the kernel/rom combo doesn't affect this.

Try activating "disable hw overlays" and "force gpu rendering" from developer options....it helps me...
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
You want the settings for best smoothness?
1.install siyah
2.change governor to lulzactiveq andchange scheduler to cfq
3.enable gpu rendering + disable hardware overlay in developer options.
4.set the minimum gpu clock to 266mhz in stweaks.
5.set touch boost to 1000 mhz in stweaks.
Now I guarantee you an ultra smooth experience.
Note : disable/kill media scanner or downloads provider service if it's using too much cpu.

Bala, is it not idiotic n funny to do all the above even after paying £400.00 / rs.30k to actually buy the damn phone itself.. The reason we paid so much to Samsung was to make all d above and we use it straight away out of d box...

Wrong you are not wanted .
Do you not give a thought for XDA Developeres forum and mods that have to move countless wrongly posted items .
Just because you don't want them in the correct section and is totally against what XDA exists for its not some fix my phone forum that you and other school-kids can mess about with .
No wonder so many senior experienced members steer clear of this forum .

And what does this have to do with the topic? You can lock the CPU to 1400MHz and the GPU to 800MHz, kill your battery, and it will still lag in the aforementioned situation.
If you actually pay attention while scrolling in the Setting page, you will see that the lag/hickup will only happen once any of the On/Off switches come into display and get rendered, if you scroll without any of the switches in view it will be smooth. I can already imagine what causes this; they're fetching the status of the switches in the rendering thread and it simply causes an overhead on the rendering fluidity. No matter what you do you won't be able to get rid of that design problem. Hundreds of other apps are completely fluid in the meantime.

Nice find AndreiLux.
I really didn't think it was a kernel or settings issue because i run at 200-1704 for cpu and 266-640 for gpu both with reasonable scaling settings so i think i'm fine.
Also true,in almost any other app everything is smooth as it should be...
So in conclusion a dev or sammy must fix the settings apk not to lag?

Thanks for that.
Well,force gpu rendering sticks but disable hw overlays doesn't stick after reboot and i really don't know if it actually does something!

Oops,my mind totally ignored the word "settings" in your post.
@andrei
Nice find Andrei. Any solutions for that?

The settings need to be reprogrammed. I tried to get rid of that lag because I thought it was because of the kernel, but then I saw that it only happens when the switches come into display. It's stupid but you don't do anything about it. I don't even know if AOSP has the same issue or if it's a Samsung thing.
It's the same problem as with Tapatalk, it's a badly designed pile of crap and that's why it's so laggy, no matter the performance of your phone.
Take Flipboard, Reddit News, much more complex apps, but they are properly coded and thus fluid.
@Bala
It's ok man...
@Andreilux and all
I see...
I think on AOSP scrolling is smoother in settings..
Anyone to confirm this?
What should we do now?
Report to sammy?Ask an experienced developer to try to fix it?

yes, i can confirm. AOSP is 100,000 times smoother than Sammy.
edit
What i have found FIXES this issue is to run a LIVE WALLPAPER not a very graphic intensive one, but something like phase beam, or nexus 4 LWP. What this does is, it keeps the CPU fresh and instantly ready to render. Try it if you don't believe me.
download this LWP just for a test: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...2lkd2FzYWJpLmxpdmV3YWxscGFwZXIubmV4dXNkb3QiXQ.. and in settings put everything on MAX. and set the LWP. Now go try to find some lag
