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"...

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.

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.

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.

Is there a setting for this?
You may find an app every now and again that will glitch if you force 2d acceleration, but by now a good portion of them should be updated to account for it. On the flip side though, there are times when the extra memory needed to send everything to the GPU can actually hinder performance.
The option for it should be in Menu -> Settings -> Developer options -> 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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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
I have a samsung galaxy tab 2 7.0 running stock 4.1.1 jellybean and stock touchwiz launcher and in developer options I found the option "force gpu rendering" I have noticed that when this is turned on scrolling through my home screens, app drawer etc. is noticebly smoother and some games like gta 3 are able to be run at max graphics with no lag while when this is off it struggles to run at medium graphics settings without lag. I have looked around and still dont fully understand what force gpu rendering is and I would really appreciate it if someone would explain what it is and why it makes these things smoother. I am also wondering if anyone has run into any apps that dont work or dont work as well with this setting turned on and if you could list any that have problems. Thanks
