Massively speed up Galaxy S4 - Temporary fix to reduce Lag

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeKoJfuiy_Y
This seems to help a lot
Settings
Developer options
Change Windows animation scale to OFF
Change Tranition animation scale to OFF
Change animation duration scale to OFF
Yes it gets rid of all the fancy animations, but until Samsung fix this, its a temporary fix

This is the 1st thing I do on all my Android phones. Helps on EVERY phone, not just the sg4.

What do the animation transitions etc do?

Exactly what you'd expect, a quick dissolving effect when you go to the home screen, switch between apps etc.

Ha ha ha lets turn off the animation efects and this will make the phone faster...This make phone more ugly because you torn off visual efects,and nothing about overall procesor and work speed.NOTHING!

Wrong. I prefer the look without the animations and it does in fact make the phone much more responsive which is all good because lag sucks and that fix along with killing the S-voice on the home key makes the phone a whole lot better to live with.

I prefer them off. Much snappier. Thanks.

Hmmm could be a long (infinite) wait if the s3 is anything to go by. I'm getting home screen redraws now too. I really thought having 2 gb ram would have sorted that.

I'm glad this guy figured it out.
What's really interesting is that despite the tons of other threads about disabling transitions in developer options, he someone managed to make his phone 10 times faster than all of those! And it's even quoted in the thread title like the absolutely factual factoid that it is! Win!
Plus, as an added bonus, rather than simply making a duplicate thread with text, that takes only a few seconds to disregard, this is a link to Youtube... Quality all around.

Who knew disabling something can make it faster? Another tip for you then which you may not be aware of. If you want to improve battery life, use it as little as possible. Hope that helps.

It's mind blowing how many people actually complains that the s4 lags!
my s4 is quick and snappy. Stock touchwiz qualcom version.
Even with air gestures and s voice enabled, there is no sign of lag or stutter.

Full disk encryption performance?

Would anyone care to benchmark the phone with FDE turned off and on? I'm curious how much of a performance hit it is and whether they're using hardware to handle it.

Excellent question. Not silly at all. Ars Technica just wrote an article on it yesterday! http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015...yption-guide-protect-your-stuff-and-yourself/
Since we appear to have hardware encryption, there is absolutely no downside. Much more secure. A lot of people say only the paranoid encrypt, but there is a reason so many more people know what it is and apple has been doing it for some time.
Once we get root, it might make things a tiny bit more complicated by adding an extra step to flashing roms, but the added security is worth it.

Flashing ROMs on the Nexus 6 weren't an issue with encryption. Either they only encrypt the userdata partition or the keys are stored outside the areas typically formatted by TWRP.
Of course this means little until we try flashing on the Note 5. But I'm hopeful it won't cause headaches.

Awesome. That's good to know. There was actually an option to either encrypt the user portion of the device or encrypt the entire device when I did it I think. But I'm betting you're right. The keys are probably stored somewhere else.

The primary "Pro" reason to encrypt is data security. The main "Con" has been performance slow downs, but it looks like that is no longer the case with this device.
My work uses Google Device Policy to enforce encryption if I want Corporate email on my phone. They just want to ensure if I lost the device (or stolen) the data couldn't be compromised. Otherwise I have to get emails via a SSO login app, which blows. So to be productive while traveling, I have to encrypt.
Glad to see this device doesn't take a performance hit with encryption.

T-Mobile has confirmed Marshmallow for Note 5

Take this with a grain of salt but the Software Updates page at T-Mobile has been updated and the Note 5 is on there. Now we all knew that it would be updated to Marshmallow but maybe this is a sign that we will see it sooner than later.

When this is released by T-Mobile will i need to un-root to get the OTA update? If so, will there be a root in the works for Android M? I am rooted on 5.1.1 BOH6 with Arter97 Kernel, Xposed and the latest TWRP. Just curious thanks for all the hard work devs.
My reason for asking is probably the same as anyone else. I want the newest OS but I want to keep the tweaks made possible through root such as, modifying the build.prop file to fix the RAM leak, better battery life through titanium back up by freezing apps and adding some features by editing the /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db in SQLite Editor

Great, get ready for all the complaining about the update not being fast enough to arrive. Only to be followed up with complaints about how the update made the phone slow and the battery drain.

Yes, if you want to get OTA updates the phone cannot be rooted.

You won't have to unroot to update. Not with smart switch on your computer, however it will unroot your phone, and generally when android updates a whole system, root is lost till someone figures it out, when kit Kat first came out root took forever

Wow, that was quick. Tmobile has been pushing updates out pretty fast over the past year, so maybe we'll see it this month.
Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk

Edit: I think that's wrong. If you click testing phase it brings the pink line over to testing, if you click completed it brings it all the way over. If you click note 5 under the updates, it shows that it's still under manufacturing development

still shows manufacturer development for me.... hopefully changes.. .the marshmallow leak has been pretty stable, but it occasionally reboots while on calls still.

Save your finger until Mid-Late January.
International versions updated by Samsung haven't even gotten it, and historically they get it a month or more before the carriers in the US release theirs.

New Update VRU2BPD4

Decided to randomly check if we had an update and sure enough. Here is the changelog. Nothing too major it seems like. ?

I'm surprised that Verizon has put out over 3 updates since I've had this phone because they were not known for being fast with their updating but this time around they pretty much beat every other carrier and even AT&T doesn't have MM 6 out yet.

Why don't you just downgrade back to Lollipop until they manage to get all the kinks figured out with MM 6... I have successfully proved you can downgrade on Verizon when we were all told it's impossible!! If that doesn't fix it, Samsung will send you another phone and you'll have to send yours back to them... That's how you do that.. Caall them an explain but don't make it sound like YOU did something because then they won't do it.

If I was a "fool" I wouldn't be working on anything with the phones but you know something? It's people like you who come along and treat us devs on here like crap when if it wasn't for a lot of us no one would have anything! You should just disappear with that type of attitude because I can just stop all the work I'm doing and keep my Verizon kernel I built for myself and just leave xda altogether and maybe you can take over tough guy!

Here's another PSA: Sprint service in Austin, Texas (and surrounding areas) sucks!
I cant find anything new on my device at all.. There could be other things that could auto-install after the update via sprint ID app. ... I turned that of (with package disabler) as it kept installing bloatware immediately after I would uninstall it. That issue alone is worth the price of Package Disabler... or even installing the U ROM.
Anyone know how to tell if the bootloader has been updated?

I was hoping for some more functional AOD updates like the Note 7 has. At least we get the September security update.

So someone who's installed it in About Device what's the Android security patch level?

No AOD features added, battery life still sucks on this phone. I have a feeling with the Note 7 recall its going to be awhile before we get any of those features.

Yeah probably. To be honest I'm surprised we even got the September security update.
If I don't use the thing the battery life is pretty great, I can go almost 2 days on a weekend when I'm not using it much. But man, stream radio or music, it just eats it, which is weird because I'll eat more battery in an hour of streaming radio with the screen off than I will watching a show or movie off my SD card for 30 minutes.

That's why I'm glad I have a nexus 6p to play with and enjoy android N while my S7E sits in my nightstand lol. I regret buying the S7E man..

I do regret getting the S7E as well. I feel conned by all the hype and early reviews of this phone. I must say that after this update has settled in, battery life is better finally on this release. Too little to late. The phone is still laggy and struggles to close open apps and will still lock up for a few seconds as well. I am confident that Samsung's horid touchwiz is to blame as it happers the phone.

I think the lag is more from the Sprint bloat than the Samsung bloat b/c on the 935U ROM, I practically don't have any lag. My GS7E is faster than my Nexus 5X on the latest 7.0 Nougat.

I could totally see the sprint bloat causing that. This will be my last carrier phone. Not sure what's next yet but I'm eyeing the inevitable price drop on an unlocked HTC 10 during the holiday shopping season at the moment.

I've disabled the bloat, and have no performance issues, or significant lag, on my Edge. No problem closing open apps. You may want to look at what apps you have running in the background.
As far as new features, there's now an option to automatically set a default app or be prompted, and if you're prompted you can choose Always or Just Once.
