I know it barely scratches the surface, but the Accessibility settings menu has an option to disable animations. Failing that, there are settings within Developer Options (yes, I know) to speed up or disable most animations.
Comment on Android 11 is the "Windows 7" of Android
IcedRaktajino@startrek.website 3 days agoAFAIK, it’s just the base Android UI because it’s the same in LineageOS and vanilla builds.
- The quick actions have gone to hell. There’s nothing quick about them anymore and customizing them is even worse than it already was.
- Every UI element is oversized and seems made for the hot doggiest of hotdog fingers
- The organization of the settings, especially the network/mobile settings, somehow makes even less sense than before
- The wallpaper / background config is just awful nowadays. I don’t know if that’s “Material You” or what, but just let me pick an image or no image or a solid color. Don’t present 3 different apps to handle changing the background, two of which do nothing.
- On the Google side, they’re shoving more Gemini shit in
- Now Google is gatekeeping even the apps you want to sideload
- Even with animations disabled, there’s still too many animations.
- Gesture navigation is just terrible but at least you can dig through the settings to re-enable 3 button nav
- A litany of other small gripes

Yeah, I’ve got all those turned off. Actually, they came disabled by default (one of the OS customizations Minimal does in their base image). I usually turn those to at least .5x on my other phones to make things feel faster, lol, but in this case, they were already off.
But there’s still subtle transitions and some animations that aren’t affected by that. One of the latter is the animations on the lock screen when you’re entering your pin. Those have to be disabled separately in the security settings (and weren’t disabled by default by Minimal).

I remember being very pissed when I had my pixel and the latest update got rid of 4x5 grids.
