I've set my 3 options for animations to 1.5x and the overall animations seem a lot smoother, what impact does this have on performance/battery? Is it better to adjust other settings in dev options to make the device run smoother?
I'm running complete stock encrypted.

devs,
is possible disable rotate screen animation on new ICS CM9 and his kangs??
animation is realy nice,but is soooo slow.
thxs for your answers..
I don't know how to remove, but you can make effexts faster with spare parts.
in system settings - developer options - transition animation scale. You can disable it, make it slower or faster.
i've figured out the best settings without the supercharger. supercharger may allow multitasking but it makes the system crawl, barely any apps go to cache, app launches are slow etc, AND IT EATS BATTERY LIKE A CANNIBAL on it-self on the ICS beta roms.
what i have done to get incredibly smooth operation is by that i have changed a few and added a few more lines to my build.prop
1) change/add the dalvik.vm.heapsize to 96m from 64m (for lesser multitaskig but smoother apps - i get two apps to multitask with this) or reduce to 48m for more multitasking (i am getting 3 apps multitasking with this 2do, officesuite N email).
2) add MAX_HIDDEN_APPS=1 and MAX_ACTIVITIES=6 (this seems to prevent multiple apps for trying to access the memory and the cpu power at the same time, giving you a better experience, i haven't had any problems with notifications for my facebook, email, pulse n whatsapp)
3) delete the 99supercharger* script from your system/etc/init.d folder
4) i am using the supercharger's bulletproof apps thing for my phone, aNag, phone dialer (option 17) get the ICS services.jar from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1533044 (apparantly its needed to make ICS understand OOM adjustments.
5) go to cwm to clear the dalvik cache or just do superclean-restart with the supercharger script (option 30)
btw, you have to use the DoomLoRD's advanced stock kernel with the stock wifi modules - the doomkernel v4 is superbuggy and unstable. the stock kernel itself doesnt have init.d support for the bulletproofing so you'll need the advanced stock kernel
UPDATE : 5.5) force GPU rendering under developer options in settings.
UPDATE : 6) also add 3 more things via rom toolbox's kernel tweaks for faster launches : vfs_cache_pressure=10 dirty_background_ratio=60 dirty_ratio=95 (i got this from kickasskernelizer) n make em load on reboot. also in kernel tweaks under advanced change up threshold to 75 (higher battery but slower initiations) or 30 (super fast scaling, but lower battery) sampling rate to 200000, powersave bias to 30 (make this 0 for supersmooth, or 60 for more battery life) and i/o scheduler to noop.
UPDATE 7) if you want better multitasking (albeit lesser smooth) apply the superharger OOM+bulletproof launcher settings N lower the screen updates (**** i forgot its name) thing from 200 to 120 (supercharger changes it to 200, which causes lags n a hyper accelerated scrolling)
(I had posted this under JJ's rom, but since its applicable to all ICS beta based roms (out of which i find jj's rom to be the leanest n the meanest) I am posting this here to see what others say about it. also, try his Fold Animations w/buttons (if you like buttons, albeit with a smaller screen area) or my favorite Twister animations.
p.s. devs, please suggest other pros n cons of doing the above.
please press thanks if you like this
I'll try this too.
Thanks
Thanks for the info this weekend I test these things if I can. Looks nice
We all know that the ace has very limited RAM, which causes a lot of performance problems especially in jelly bean. I was getting around 50-60 MB on our CM10 jellaxy release with nearly no apps installed. Apart from using swap, I thought the next best solution was to limit background processes and I did notice that performance improved somewhat.
So I have 2 questions -
Do you guys think it improves performance or could it actually be detrimental to performance?
What about project butter? I tried searching the jellaxy thread and couldn't find out anything. I notice that the interface is smooth enough, but certain apps freeze or stop responding, probably due to the RAM problem. So is project butter integrated into our jb roms?
Thanks!
Offcourse, project butter is integrated into android source. If you want better performance, delete uselless apps that run in background and eat memory. Disable all transitions and animations in settings, enable KSM and disable surface dithering.

Thanks! How does disabling animations improve performance?
i think turning "off" the animation for the User Interface or in our desktop sure lessen the process of our ACE.,
BTW.,i dont know how to auto kill the google play store because everytime i turn off my phone to charge and then when done and turn it "on" again i look inside advanced task manager its always "on" process..
i would really appreciate any help..:angel:
Hi folks,
I read about this in the Tab Pro forum and found that this helps to make Tab S performance snappier with TouchWiz. If you use another launcher, it will be even more snapier. So here are the steps:
1) Enable developer options by tapping Build Number 7 times. You will find Build Number by Settings -> General -> About Device.
2) Once the developer options are enabled, change Window Animation scale, Transition Animation scale, Animator Duration scale from 1x to 0.5x (see attached snapshot)

Tried all that. I would also try disableing system apps and use greenify to hibernate apps until you open them. I also use nova launcher and changed the speeds to fast. I also use a live wallpaper and its all smooth. What font do you use? This is what my tab s looks like. Im am rooted on stock rom.

That doesn't improve the performance, it just hides some of the lags. It is nice that you try to help people (really, it is), but you should have chosen a different headline.
Anyway, I would advise against changing Animator Duration, with it deactivated Hangouts refused to auto scroll to new messages.
Thats like putting a bandaid on a wound. Want to reduce lag? Find the thread that lists all the system apps you can delete.

The font that I use is Rosemary.
It's been 3 weeks since the phone has launched, also the ram stays free upto 2gb; however, phone lags and stutters.
Go to dev. option, and lower the animations to 0.5 not 1.0. and you'll notice a difference.
Also get rid of Samsung and android bloatwares. you can choose to kill apps working in background more than two
Install a light launcher (I suggest Lawnchair) and finally reduce animations in advanced features.
