CM6 screen rotation slow

Has anyone else noticed how long it takes your screen to go from 90deg to 180/270? I am using CM6 and the ADW it comes with. Any settings to speed this up or is this just how it is?
I swear 5.0.8 didnt feel this slow when rotating.
thx!

I noticed that the apps scrolling was slower, but now it's much faster. Thanks!

thanks for that tip - it definitely makes scroll and animation speed faster.
HOWEVER - screen orientation is not affected in the least by this setting. Is this a cm6 issue or a launcher issue?

Will someone please tell me why Google hasn't improved the rotation speed?!

I thought this was originally a product if poor sensors. But it wasn't. Then I thought it was a bug. Updates went by, then I saw that wasn't the case either. It just seems to be a "feature".
This feature is really beginning to annoy me! Can anyone tell me why it takes about two seconds before the screen rotates in stock Android. My G.Nex takes about the same time. I'm guessing any remedy involves rooting, which is annoying. I'm rooted, I just don't think this should be necessary for people to do (IF it's necessary).
Can anyone shed light on this?

Actually if it rotates in less than a second it'll be more annoying trust me. Like if you are typing and just tilt your device a little bit, it'll be a disaster right? I don't know however if you can modify this.

Aokp and others allow you to change this. Many roms have a shorter rotation speed. They actually did quicken it, 4.0 was really slow. Yes its a feature.

Quite fast considering what it has to do.

I agree with this.. The feature is there to prevent you from rotating the screen by accident. Say using the cam in video chat while holding the device in your hand.. While typing and walking around..
Not sure why this is such a bother to you Not everything should be Instant.If it were instant you would also see the screen refresh as its turning the icons..
the ui . would have to turn resize screen background re position the icons and the notification/ now settings menu all in a fraction of a second. The delay helps with my first sentence as well as gives the Interface to make necessary changes for the new orientation.. Good things come to those who wait..

The rotation pause time is perfect for me.

If anyone has used the iPad, other iDevice or some other non-stock Android devices, the rotation delay is only about half a second and smooth. There is no confusion or constant accidental rotations, it's responsive rather than intentionally slow. Plus, I really don't think too many people accidentally rotate their devices too many times.
Another example is that with my N7, JB 4.2, rooted but stock, It can take up to 4 seconds to rotate on the PIN secured lock screen. In what way is this useful?

Its less than one second on my stock 4.2...

The rotation speed seems much longer on 4.2 than it did on 4.1.2. I noticed the difference immediately after updating.

You can play with the 3 screen animation parameters - they are located in setup under the developers section about half way down the page.
-Window animation scale
-Transition animation scale
-Animation duration scale
These parameters affect the speed at which the display dims and brightens, rotates and transitions..
If you set the 3 parameters to zero, you get a binary effect on all animations - in other words, a single step from one position/brightness/orientation to the next.
I found that you may have to reboot the device (or restart the window manager?) for any changes to take effect.
Hope this helps.

[Q] Scrolling responsiveness and speed in Jelly Bean

I just upgraded from a Galaxy Tab (original) to a Nexus 7, and while most everything else is a sweet upgrade, scrolling has become a consistently frustrating experience.
On my Galaxy Tab (Gingerbread), scrolling is simple and intuitive. I "flick" my finger across the screen and it scrolls fast (even if it might be too fast sometimes) and the inertia continues the way I would expect (more like Froyo as opposed to iOS), and swiping scrolls as fast as I swipe no matter how long I press my finger to the screen. However, on the Nexus 7, if I flick, sometimes it flicks fast, sometimes it flicks very slow, and sometimes it comes to a dead stop when I release my finger. If I swipe, it behaves better, but doesn't seem to go the speed of my finger unless I hold it down longer. I feel like a little kid trying to get a toy to work. It's not intuitive, and I'm not sure if the problem is the design of Jelly Bean or the Nexus 7's hardware, or the device has a manufacturing defect. As a comparison, the homescreens flick and swipe appropriately most of the time. Apps seem to have the same scrolling frustrations for me as the browser and settings lists.
Can someone tell me how Jelly Bean is supposed to work with flicking and swiping? What about in apps like Chrome, games like Devil's Attorney, or settings lists? Also, the homescreens.
If can adjust Android's default scrolling speed and inertia (and swiping and flicking responsiveness) through root, I'll do that, but I'm not sure there's anything else I can do before that.

Just saw this today, have not tried it yet myself but it sounds like this is what you are looking for.

Lag from home screen to app draw?

Hi all,
As title suggests really, I noticed on my Note 8 that swiping to the app draw and back produces bit of a delay/glitch when flicking between the two, even on high performance mode - Does anyone else have this?
Really annoying as the rest of the device is very smooth but at the minute, my old S6 Edge Plus on android 7 feels just as quick to use, which is disappointing.

The latest update to the launcher on the S8 got rid of that lag and added the ability to pull down notifications with the a swipe down motion anywhere on the home screens. It looks like the launcher on the Note 8 is a little behind so hopefully we'll get that update soon.

I use Nova with no lag.

I use stock and it's the fastest I have ever had on a Sammy between home and app drawer. I regularly swipe up down for fun as it's great to watch. Mybe you have an app slowing you down. Also get DEVELOPER rights in settings and turn off all those 1x speed settings on graphics.

Odd you mention that as mine is completely stock and I first noticed this when I first turned it on, so I hadn't even started installing my own apps yet.
Maybe I should re-flash it and see if that'll help.

laggy phone why???

its strange or its the same for everybody or just for me .
i have the exinos version and my phone and all galxy phone i had got the same lagg for years
if i use the infinity wall paper i got no lag but if i change the wall paper for home screen and for lock screen the moment i open the lockscreen to hone screen the animation lag again...when i slide the screen to open the phone from lockscreen to home screen isee lag in the animation when i have on the home screen icons its weird do you see that too?

The only slowdown I noticed was when I left my knox-secured folder, like 0,5s lag before it closed. Do you have a branded software or unbranded?

wondering if its not the launcher being throttled. on infinity theme they might have to get it optimized by not letting the system sleep some cores to allow a seemingless experience. when you change to static wallpaper,this optimization is removed to prioritize battery . but as we can see, it would be nice to get at least the same performance on non infinity themes/wallpapers

I disable and/or shorten animations in developer options on every device I have. Makes a difference. On the Note I use pitch black wallpaper from the play store. Keeps it simple and frees up resources. Those animations, etc take more cpu. So I don't use 'em.

Just get Nova Launcher and call it a day. NO lag.

Are you using default theme or some thurd party theme? Incompatible themes can lag phone too.

Unfortunately any third party launcher still hanging or lagging when an incompatible theme used in samsung themes.
Default or some themes seem to help overcome lag specially in exynos note 9.

When the lag observed, open samsung members app n submit feedback as problem. Already submitted once but more submitting gives it high priority to resolve

Oh, I see. I tend to turn off most animations, or at least set them to 0.25 in the developer options.

updatek i found asolution that will kill all lag between stuff from lockscreen and home screen and beyond
we need to change in developer option only the duration animation to 0.5 little faster and its kill all lag check this lots time not even one lag great!!!!!
but change only the duration cause all the rest animation got no lag :good::good::good:

.25? Where is that?
And I think the OP is trolling. Have you seen the topics he is creating? But his iPhone X doesn't do this.
And I don't know why people keep thinking changing the animation duration to a lower setting gets rid of lag. It is just an option to cover up all latencies interacting with phone and to give it a little flair. Changing the animation timing doesn't do anything for lag. If anybody wants to argue the point change the timing higher and use for awhile and then go back to a lower setting.

Sorry, my memory failed me. I guess it's only 0.5.
Changing the animation definitely APPEARS to make things faster and less laggy. Whether it's placebo or not, I'm not sure.

Samsung always has a form of lag. Its in their DNA

Facing this lag from day one.
Somehow the default theme helped a bit but I am still not convinced n Samsung shall provide fix for lag.

Most likely everyone is experiencing similar thing but you just have a very low tolerance for "lag".

Hmmm, its actually annoying to see such laggy premium phone.
When samsung account is added, somehow samsung cloud auto sync n auto backup is on. Cloud sync always have additional lags. Disbaling cloud sync or removing samsung account completely seems to help in handling lag.

HI friends,
Just install the HTC Sense 9 ported apps like Sense Home launcher, Weather, clock etc.
Everything will work smoother and faster on this note 9.
