stock settings Developer options. Transition&Window Animation

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.

[Q] [4.2.2 JB] [CM10.1] LegacyXperia - build 20130617

Hello as I am new to the forum I can not comment on development section I hope you can help me
On the lock screen, unlock the pattern looks very small and low quality and also if the option of putting eleges appears as cut pin numbers.
I would also like to know if you can activate the recording in 720p.
That pattern planner CPU and I / O is the best for this rom-length of battery performance?

The problem with the unlock pattern is a framework issue and is being looked into.
also recording in 720p is buggy and eats up a lot of RAM so it has been disabled for our MDPI
for CPU i suggest ONDEMAND and I/O as row...gives the best battery life plus its good enough to run games.
I've heard that SMARTASSV2 is also nice, so you can try that as well

Tweak Android Devices to Faster and Free More RAM with This Mod For GB,JB,ICE,KK

What Is This??
If you got a good phone, it should have good specs. However, sometimes we do not get the performance we expect from our devices and in most cases it is due to faulty configuration of how hardware resources are used or the way the user uses a device.
We all expect good performance and battery life from the smartphone or tablets device we use. And if you think you are not getting that with the default settings of your device, there are ways to make it perform better in terms of speed, faster response, reduced lag and better battery efficiency. Thanks to the brilliant developer community we have as Android users that there are always some or other solutions to fix such things.
If you experience lag on your phone and think it’s not performing decently, you should give a try to the YoPro-Script mod by ShivaY. The mod targets various issues that usually concern users. It fixes low RAM issue, improves battery performance, reduces lag, adjusts CPU and GPU frequencies to the optimum, and so on. Below is a detailed list of things the script works its magic on:
Prevent Leaked RAM/system memory
Makes performance smoother
Lag fix
Better battery life
Balanced mod (gaming & multitask)
Net optimizer (responsive surfing)
Seeder (increases Entropy to reduce lag)
GPU Rendering (HW 3D force enable)
I/O Database Optimizer (SIO/Deadline : auto set. if there sio, sio will enable..if no, deadline will enable)
Storage Speed/Write Optimizer
CPU Governor Optimizer (Smartass/Hotplug/On-demand: auto set, if there Smartass, martass will enable.. if no, hotplug or on-demand will enable)
Touch responsive
Zipalign at boot (reduce footprint & optimized RAM usage)
Sound noise fixer
More…
Download YoPro-Script
YoPro-Script_v2.6_GB_JB_ICS_KK.Zip
Requirements
YoPro-Script mod has been tested and found working on a range of Android devices including the Nexus 5, Xperia Play, Huawei Honor, Galaxy Note 3 (with CM11), Galaxy Star, etc. The mod works on all Android devices running Gingerbread, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jelly Bean and KitKat. Needless to say, you must have root access and a custom recovery (CWM/TWRP) to flash it. You also need to install the latest BusyBox. And yes, make sure you are not using any other custom scripts already. Another thing, we highly recommend you try it on a custom ROMs with init.d support.
How to Install
Download the mod file in zip from above and copy it to your phone.
Reboot your phone in recovery mode.
Make a nandroid backup first.
Then install the .Zip file and reboot device.
Thanks

Included blu_active CPU governor (you have to rename system/etc/pnp.xml to system/etc/pnp.xml.bak and reboot in order to use blu_active)
Enabled MAPLE, SIO, SIOPLUS, FIOPS, ZEN, TRIPNDROID, FIFO and DEADLINE IO scheduler
Enabled advanced TCP Congestion Control
Included GPU Boost
S2S across navbar area
KCAL color calibration
Button Mapper Support
Fsync On/Off support
Green Pulsating Notification LED
Fingerprint Double Tap to sleep support
Interface to boost memory bandwith upon turning on the screen to achieve faster wake up time
Slimbus Enhancement may improve audio quality
Button Light Notification from @tbalden

Thank you for the nice welcoming
Next release will have some upstream commits
Also you all are welcome to give some feedback.
nice to see that development is kicking up this weekend
Best kernel on Pixel XL nice to see you here. Good luck with everything :good:
So it seems that CPU OC isn’t working quite well with my chip. Tried yesterday 2,5 ghz for the big cluster and it didn’t even make it through boot process.
New release will be this evening.
Please report back how the kernel works for you.
Also please state the model you are on. But it should work for dual and single sim I guess.

Update to 0.2
Hey guys and girls,
here is the update to 0.2
includes all previous features
Changelog:
- patches to loadavg
- Upstream: reimplement mb2cache
- mm: slub: Default slub_max_order to 0
The kernel runs really nice for me.
Download: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=889764386195910663
Have fun with it and a nice day
P.S.: Next release will have some surprises. But I want to make sure it is stable.
Thanks for your work, i will give this a try
So how is everyones experience?
new kernel release will be soon :victory:
Update to 0.2_2
Hey guys and girls,
the promised update is here. It may not seem like much but I managed to put a few new things in the kernel.
I had a play with different IO schedulers. As you may have noticed the new storage of our device is already blazing fast but I tried to make it even faster.
So I managed to built in the maple Io scheduler from @frap129. It results in slightly better IO speeds than stock in my tests. But this is only the first part of the IO journey.
Next release will have another IO gov, but I try to optimize it first and test it extensively.
additionally this kernel now includes the IO sched switcher from @Sultanxda
Description is as follows:
"This driver changes the I/O scheduler for a specified request queue to
Noop when the screen turns off in order to improve power consumption while
the screen is off, as well as reduce resume latency when the screen is
turned back on. After the screen is turned back on, the driver will change
the I/O scheduler back to what it originally was after a 10000ms delay."
This means screen turns on faster and phone will drain less battery when in deep sleep. :good:
In addition to boosting DDR bandwidth we now also give a boost to our storage when the screen gets turned on.
Changelog 0.2_2:
- included maple IO scheduler from @frap129
- included IO switcher from @Sultanxda
- boost ufs storage controller when turning the screen on.
- included BLN from @tbalden ( give him a big thanks!)

Just flashed today. Running very fast and smooth. I'll see about battery life tomorrow. Excellent job on this.
Good Job! Thanks for your work
Battery life seams better for my usage. Haven't experienced any lag. Everything is smooth. I'm not much of a gamer, but have played a couple an they are smooth as well.
Update to 2.2_6
Hey guys and girls,
Update time again.
New version 0.2_6. I ran this for a week and it is absolutely stable for me.
Changelog:
- some backport and upstream patches
- add backlight dimmer
- optimize for performance instead of size ( that is also why the download is ~1mb bigger)
- enable RCU boost to decrease latency even further
- set timer for interrupting the kernel to 300 (performance increase)
- random driver from linux 4.12
- add tripndroid IO scheduler
Download:

Have fun with it. The kernel flies for me now. Well even more than before!
Quite happy about the battery life.
Without power saver, medium usage I would say :good:
Fantastic! Just curious, do you run this on stock ROM or one of the customized ones?

Anyone test it already? How is the different ?
Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
what did this mod actualy do? when i opened the cfg file it only contain this string :
0 1 adreno630
There a app called Walt ,but a test kit is required,the only way to test touch latency, anyone keen to try out ?

This removes the software gfx rendering pathway I.e configured in libGLES_android.so and makes use of gives priority to hardware gfx rendering i.e the GPU u have in some cases software rendering is faster than hardware rendering but since I personally prefer hardware rendering I made this mod so others can use it to to avoid hassle. Simply flash and notice faster better animation in UI and gaming.

I don't see any point doing such experiment because you will not notice any latency issue on daily bases expect in high end FPS gaming... If your concerned about the rumours about our device latency I can assure you it'll be fixed with a firmware update idk why Xiaomi is lazy to provide us the fix already!

so how do we uninstall once we flashed it?
Even the magisk manager has a downloadable module called GPU turbo boost.. but nothing is happening.. it seems as if it has placebo effect.. just a waste of space.. so your app works differently??? Im currently having issues playing nba 2k18 after some time..
I simply wanted to play it smoothly... With gl tools.. iT says.. 30-50fps.. but never stable..
Having a touch issue and multitouch problem
Somebody says that it's a GPU program fault so that I got multitouch problem in pubg and other fps games.
So does this mod improve my touch issues completely?
