I'm a happy user of android with animations turned off. It's the only mean to make it somewhat "snappy". IMHO lag is always worse than lack of fancy transient state in input -> UI change context.
replyI have mine at 0.5x.
replyThe problem with 0x is that it seems to only affect like 90% of the UI. Certain things still animate, and the cadence feels awful as a result.
At 0.5x the stuff that's mysteriously unaffected by the animation speed setting isn't as jarring.
I would use 0x if it worked properly.
Not for me, I always turn off animations. It feels fine for me, and I can operate the phone a lot quicker without having to wait for animations to complete.
replyI don't turn them off entirely, I kind of enjoy the feeling of momentum animated elements can provide, but I definitely do go in and speed them up massively. I find that when a phone is feeling unresponsive or sluggish, it's usually because I'm moving two steps ahead of the animation and it has to catch up. Feels like tripping on your own feet.
replyAfter using Android for like a decade, I eventually succumbed and got a iPhone 12 Mini (back when it was new). I still miss the ability of turning off animations as I could do on Android, and I'm 110% my current phone would feel 200% faster if I could just turn off every damn animation that just exists to exists. I'd much rather have a second to process if that's needed (which I don't think it is), than being slowed down by one second every time an app changes the page, everything feels like molasses when you navigate around.
replyAll animations are just wasted time while you can't properly interact with the UI, it's much better to just turn every one of them off.
replyGive it one day and you won't come back to those sluggish animations slowing your intent down.
replyI have it at 0.5x. 0x is just not smooth enough, plus sometimes apps actually don't load fast enough so you're stuck waiting for them anyway.
