Make Your Android Lollipop/Marshmallow Device Feel a Lot Faster (Video)
People have asked me why my Android phones look so snappy in some of my videos lately and wondering if I overclocked the phones. I haven’t, most of the time, and it’s actually something I immediately do when getting a new Android phone. It’s a quick little tip that anyone with a lollipop or newer Android phone can do so I figured I’d do a quick video to show you how you too can quickly make your phone feel a lot faster.
How to Make Your Android Device Feel Faster
- On the phone, head to Settings by pulling down the notification shade and tapping the gear at the top right.
- Then head to about phone and we’re going to enable developer options by tapping build number repeatedly until it tells you that you are a developer.
- Then tap back, then tap on the new developer options that just appeared.
- Then scroll down until you see the Drawing section. In there you’ll see three options that we’re going to change. Window animation scale, transition animation scale, and animator duration scale. Tap each one and change the duration to anything less than one with the lower number being the fastest feeling.
- Then you can hit the home button and open spots to test his it feels.
Set these options to 10x and you’ll see an exaggerated example of this.
And that’s it. To undo this simply set everything back to 1x.
It’s funny because after doing this to my phones, it becomes very hard to have to normal animation time again. So, you know, you have been warned.

Wow! My OnePlus 2 now feels fast… AT LAST!!! Oxygen OS felt so slow compared to CM that I was used to on the OnePlus 1.
Ha glad it helped you out!
set to “off” feels like you upgrade from S3 to S4 xD
Ha, I know right!
Hello Mr. Cogen 1st and foremost i want to say thank you for all that you do. I have a question for you. I have a Motoactv golf ed. device. But this mp3 player / gps fitness golf tracker has been abandoned by its maker Motorola and has been discontinued and Motorola took down the site to update, connect to laptop and phone, I have tried to research on how to use this device the way it was intended. Unfortunately on youtube a very smart man has created ways on how to root or unlock the Motoactv 8gb. But because I have not a clue I need a book for dummies to give me step by step instructions to fully have the ability to use the Motoactv golf edition mp3 player without killing it. Do you have any suggestions on where I can self teach myself or follow litterally step by step instructions to doing this. Motorola has ran away from any connections to the Motoactv Golf edition, mp3 player and even canceled the tech support number for all customers as a whole. any help or suggestions is Greatly and deeply appreciated. Thank you soooo much for your time and help.
Hello,
Thanks so much!
Really sorry but I’ve never used or hear of it (not a golfer really so that might have something to do with it). Are you looking for how to just use it normally or you are trying to root it? And if so what is the ultimate goal of rooting it then?
Yes.
