Has anybody else activated "Beast Mode" on their T-Mobile Galaxy S 5 or Galaxy S 5 in general.
I do and I'm loving it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RE8cNisslI
PS. Rate the change from 1/10 within 10 minutes of the change if you decide to do this! I'm curious as to how many people will enjoy this "Beast Mode"
My configuration:
Window animation scale:
Animation is off.
Transition animation scale:
Animation is off.
Animator duration scale:
Animation is off.
I just did, its cool but I kind of miss the animations lol.
Thanks for the tips

I'm feeling the same way, but at the same time I'd rather the snapiness that this gives you.. It feels literally instant.
What is this "beast mode" ??

It's not an actual mode. It is instead a series of system tweaks you can perform from the setup menus to enable improved performance. No rooting or custom ROMs required.

On Phone-Bricker 2.0.1 I've noticed the CRT off animation doesn't always work correctly. After the animation plays, the screen will sometimes flash quickly before going completely dark.
This might be a common issue (there's some discussion in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1505230), but is there any way to fix this? If not, is there an easy way to disable the CRT animation?
I noticed this with SHOstock2. I'm not a fan of the CRT animation in general (I always disable it), so I wasn't 100% sure GB wasn't the same. I'm expecting issues like this for a while in the ICS builds. I don't think any of the devs have posted a disable zip yet.

I'm not a huge fan either, but I don't mind it as long as it works properly
I guess I'll have to live with it until I can find a disable zip

Yeah, if I have to choose between ICS with slightly buggy CRT animation or GB, I can live with the little bug. I guess this is just the universe's way of forcing some patience on me.

I too am anxious to get rid of the CRT off from Shostock2. Always strikes me as overly flashy, ala HTC Sense UI (though I believe it actually originated with Motorola)

I don't even have CRT off modded yet.
So I assume you have a theme from the i9100 section, only way to turn it off is to remove the theme or wait for me to make a restore file when I add CRT.
But this is a common issue with ICS.
I found a way to turn off the CRT animation. It probably turns off other animations, but I can't notice what else changed.
Settings > Developer options > Window animation scale > animation is off.
The transition animations are different, and can be left on.

Ah sorry I didn't mean to blame you
CRT off must be from Vertumus's theme then. I'll look for how to disable it over in his thread.

Thanks for this.
I think that setting affects window animation speed. Try setting it to 10x, then try opening some menus or adding a widget to your homescreen. You should see the menus appear a lot slower now.

Just set windows animation scale to 0.5x. In cm9, this disabled crt effect and increased other "window animations" by 2x. But in reality almost all other animations are "transition animations" so you won't even notice any difference.

Now that you mention that, I remember trying it, just not the menus in the home screen. I did notice the difference it makes to unlock the phone. The lock screen is also a "window" I guess.

Setting it to 0.5 will not double the times, it will half them. Its a multiplier vs a divisor. But yeah, it seems the Transition animation is the vast majority of animations.

Many thanks for this! I've been trying to find how to remove this to take advantage of "NoLED" on the market. Works great!
I don't know if this is even possible, but after almost 5 days running the 2.1 update, the flash on the crt animation is gone. I don't know how... the first night and day, I was getting the random re-flash of the screen after the crt animation, but I haven't noticed this happening in the past couple days. No idea...

Its random sometimes it doesn't happen to me all day then the next day it happens every screen off.
Yeah, I got up this lovely Easter morning, and I am getting the flash back on the animation, I shouldn't have said anything. I did notice my problem is only when I am on the lockscreen, hit the power button, check the time or whatever, then hit power again to sleep, THAT'S when I get the flash, if I am on any other screen and want to sleep the screen, I don't get the flash back. Maybe it has something to do with the lockscreen...
BY THE WAY, LiLChris, you are the effing man, thanks so much for this bad ass rom!
wenn i change the config_animateScreenLights from true to false, i have on Galaxy S2 and Note a TV (CRT) Effekt on shutdown the device.
In the big new Frameworrk is this tweak useless.
How do I get the CRT effect again? In systemUI, apk?

The .so file needs editing.
In S2 also the .so file was problematic and Tungstwenty if I remember correct his name he fixed it.So someone needs to take care of this too.
Cyanogen Team was the first who fixed this ,and probably they will do it again

same goes for navigation bar, after I set the enable navigation to true it just freeze although I can already see the navigation button but it freezed. hopefully someone can figure out how to get the navigation bar and crt effect back
I miss CRT dude...
Ok.. If u disable or change your stock lockscreen and use screen off and lock (from market) you can tweak the animation settings to 'old TV style'. Its what i'm doing for the crt effect

Our stock lockscreen doesn't play nice with apps that can turn the s3 screen off. Probably a touchjizz 'feature'. To answer the previous post question.. No it doesn't work with the power button. Just an app to do the same task.
Blame the faulty power button issue the nexus one had,i've grown paranoid of using hardware buttons, fearing they become faulty from heavy usage.

I am on Beans 18. I found the screen rotation takes about 2 seconds to react no matter which kernel I use (always with default setting only).
Can we have the iOS like speedy screen rotation without sacrificing the battery life?
Thank you for your comments.
EDIT: Found out why: the lag comes from the "Smart Rotation", because it takes time to detect the face/eyes.
Turn it off and the rotation is so fast now!

Thanks for you reply, but I was using the latest MeanBean and the rotation speed wasn't very speedy. And I am on Beans now and the speed isn't good enough either. That's why I have this question.
edit: For speed, I wonder if we can be as speedy as the iPhones.
Grab "Spate Parts+" from the store and St animations to fast and see if that gets you any closer to the speed your looking for. And also in settings developer settings make sure the transitions are set to .5 on the first 2 and 1.0 on the 3rd. See if that helps if it's not already set there.

Thanks for the suggestions, I tried both but didn't get the "instant" speed I need. The screen takes about 2 seconds to rotate. I also tried to turn all the 3 animations off, but the speed was the same- just the transition effect was different.

That's just TW in its self. Have you tried other launchers? Like say nova or Apex?

I know where is theblag comes from. If the Smart Rotation is turned off, the rotating speed is INSTANT!
Thanks!
Aside from turning off animation, is there anything else that can be done to improve UI performance(snap) on this unit?
I heard and read somewhere if you use nova launcher to change the icons (UI) instead of using the touchwiz (UI) ones it will be quite a bit faster i heard, i have not tried it myself yet .

As per your recommendation, I downloaded and installed Nova launcher.
As it turns out, I liked it so much that I bought the Prime version.
Excellent util.
If you have Nova and take out 'icon labels' it even makes it snappier, not for some people but it does help even further. I really like touchwiz but the lag is awful.
Nice to hear that I am going to have to try it also then and see it for myself..enjoy it forsure as it suppose to make the mega more snappier.

My particular unit is from Bell mobility.
Any idea what would be considered bloatware on those units?
If you don't use it... it is bloatware
A good practice is to disable or hide as many apps as possible, and if you have to enable them or un-hide them... keep them.
bloatware for some = essential utility for others.
I love using my phone as an IR remote when my significant lady has the real remote in her hand... take back the power!

Good point. I posted a list of all the stuff I disabled in the benchmark thread. Ive since disabled even more. Hiding the apps does nothing to free up resources. These is a ton of apps that would really never get used.
True... hiding apps does nothing for performance... but hiding is sometimes a "better" option for the squeamish.
I use the same idea for possessions... put things in storage... if you dont use them after X amount of days/weeks/months then "delete" them.
out of sight, out of use, off of phone soon after

Go into developer options and set the animations to "0"..
If you don't see the developer options, then you need to go into SETTINGS - MORE - ABOUT DEVICE and tap the build number a bunch of times and you'll get a message that developer options have been enabled.

I have and I did a google search and I stumbled across this, it works and I have no more lag.
http://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus5/comments/2mkc1v/
In Developer Options (change the following from 1 to .5)
Window animation scale (.5)
Transition animation scale (.5)
Animator duration scale (.5)
Now my N5 is smooth
I did a reboot too
