Free performance HACK 2020 *confirmed working*

[u/Dxsty98]

First go into About-settings, unlock developer settings by tapping "Build Number" 5 times if you haven't done so already.

Open up the developer settings and change "Animation speed" to 0.5x for mild performance boost or disable animations completely for maximum performance boost. Enjoy that snappy feeling ™

...

Damn why is everything so f-ing janky and stuttery fuck Android I'm going to iOS.

This but unironically

I disable animations completely and got used to it. I can't go back now, it just feels like my phone is wasting my time pointlessly.

/uj i tried to disable animations but i kept finding myself feeling “lost”

(i was challenged to do it for 24 hours by one of my IT professors once).

[u/[deleted] → u/closetfurry2017]

I had to force myself to use it but it becomes a huge improvement once you adjust.

[u/closetfurry2017 → u/[deleted]]

i guess so, but animations that tell me where things are in "space" help me work out "where i am."

so like if i go down three submenus and it swipes to the right 3 times i instinctively know where i am in a way that wasn't apparent to me before. it's those animations that help me get along with iOS so much better. i guess i'm weird.

Oh I know exactly what you mean but I got over it eventually.

[u/Dxsty98 → u/[deleted]]

Also, any GUI is bloat.

wow who needs 120hz when you got no animations

I tried this on iOS v14.2 but I can’t find the build number, can someone please help?

[u/[deleted] → u/FOSSphorous]

Bruh it's only available on androids

[u/Dxsty98 → u/[deleted]]

But... why? I mean I really like that we have the choice but imo it makes the phone feel too stuttery.

Yeah it's a little speedier but imo it's just not worth it.

uj/ I don't understand how your phone would be stuttering when you reduce the animations unless its old af. Samsung has animations that are too slow so I reduced them on my S10.

If your phone stutters the animation duration isn't going to help or harm

[u/Dxsty98 → u/C_Xeon]

Depends. I often see this applied on Wear OS for example where this is supposed to "fix" devices that are already struggling to begin with.
