I recently upgraded from Paragon RC5 to RC6 and noticed that even though when I turn off the window animation, on certain menus (usually in the settings area), the window still animates when switching windows. The transition is super fast (have to be looking at the middle of the screen to see it since it's so fast) and no matter what I try I can't fully disable the window animation. I tried doing it from the display settings and spare parts menu but no luck. I tried reading through the Paragon thread but couldn't find any similar problems. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
From what I found you need to Freeze/Uninstall Spare Parts and then turn off Animations in the Display menu.

Inside the Sound & display settings menu is section to turned down the animations used throughout the system. I find that turning them all of really makes the phone feel snappy, but it comes at the cost of some of the nice animated transitions between screens and apps. The settings allow three different options: completely off, some animations, or all animations turned on.
What I really want is all of the animations, except for the opening application one. This is the animation that occurs when you launch an application from one of the home screens or the launcher and it looks like the application window grows out from the center of the screen until it fills the entire screen. I think this one looks bad, especially when you have a bright colored background and when it is turned off applications feel like they open much quicker. Selecting 'some animations' from the settings will turn this one off, but it also disables the sliding transition that occurs when traversing through menus and pages in an app, which I actually really like.
So does anyone know of a way to disable animation one at a time?
I normally just set the animations to fast from the 'spare parts' application that is in most roms.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I tried that but it's still not ideal. I guess it can't be done at this point...
I upgraded my Nexus One from the stock 83G build to GRI40 and everything seems to work well, but I don't have the screen off animation where it looks like an old CRT TV turning off and when I'm scrolling through my apps and hit the end the yellow light doesn't come on. The funny thing is that I get the yellow light on other scrolling dialogs like my list of applications in the setting menu. Anyone else have these issues?
Go to Settings - Display - Animations and choose No animations then back to All animations. Then try again. It seems to be a quirk with some upgrades.
Thanks. This fixed the screen off animation, but I still don't get a yellow bar when hitting the beginning/end of my Application screen.
the application screen doesn´t have the yellow halo
As above, try scrolling something else, like the Settings.
Just a small issue, I have noticed that after a while the animations on my 4x HD stop appearing. I recently factory reset my phone because I was having problems and they came back but disappeared again after I restored a back-up I made before hand. It's not a big deal but if someone knows how to fix it I would be glad to know. (I'm talking about basic transition animations like when you open the app draw or press the home button).
*******My settings are set to 'Show all Animations' so that's not the problem*******
Never mind...
For everybody having this problem just go to developer settings, go to the drawing section then turn the animation settings on.
In the last day or two, I've noticed that my Sense Launcher animations are abbreviated or non-existent. System animations are fine, but the Sense animations seem turned off entirely. The Developer Options setting for Animations doesn't make a difference, either.
Some of the animations I've noticed this for:
Opening the app drawer
Unlocking the phone
Adding widgets
Did I accidentally flip a switch somewhere? I'm still running stock everything.
So...I fixed this. Somehow. Still not sure what happened or what fixed it, but I did the following:
Installed Nova Launcher
Realized the app drawer animation still wasn't playing
Enabled Animations in Developer Options
Shut down the phone completely
Turned the phone back on
Everything was groovypants again
No idea what happened, but at least it's better now. :good:
Okay, just one more post. It looks like the Developer Options Animations setting is the key, but it doesn't fully-stick until after a reboot - though maybe it's not the actual reboot that's causing it, but rather the re-starting of the launcher.
Anyway, that's a whole lot of talking to myself, but I figured if I answered my own question it might help someone in the future.
Hi everyone, for some time now all my animations (fade out on closing apps) are gone and i have no idea why, i am running stock 4.1.2 without root. I tried unchecking and checking the show animations option in settings, i tried severel launchers, reseting data presets for all installed apps but i still can't get that fade out effect back? any ideas what the problem could be and what i could try without having to reset the whole phone?
Did you check the Animation scale settings in the "Development" section of the Settings?
