Followed your directions, and it is "snappier" for sure! One question: Why do I want the second option set to OFF vs .5x? Just curious as to what the difference would be. Thanks!

.5 is just as good but it allows some animations,, off you don't have any. So let's say if you have it set .5 when you hit the recent button you can literally watch your app Zuma way too close if you have it in the off position when you tap the recent button it instantly goes away it just makes it way faster in my opinion .5 is still too slow for me

Don't no if this is a known tip, but just turned on developer options, reduced window, transition animation and scale to .5 what a difference. Apps open immediately. Very pleased. Sorry if you already found this out.

Hi OP,

Thank you so much for this little tip. What a world of difference. Wish I had know this before.

You are awesome!

Thank you!! My Aurora is blazing FAST now! Wooohooo!!

[SoxFan]

It has nothing to do with the size of the fonts or the apps, but the speed in which they open. So if you put the setting on ".5" instead of "1", it will load TWICE AS FAST.

Try it out for yourself and see if you like it. You can always switch it back.

So why would Blackberry set it to a slower speed if the result was the same?

Im playing around with 'Smallest Width' option too...

i set it to 520 and it lets me put TWO more apps at the bottom and one more row of apps on each screen. Pretty sweet

made a nice difference

Need to keep "animator duration scale" to .5 or more or you won't see the green half moon boost mode notification. The other 2 are set to off.

what is boost mode notification ??

[mhw100]

Battery boost.

Is there a way to adjust the icon size in the developer options?

[jonuk69]

Fantastic tip, thanks for that. What a HUGE difference that makes. Cheers.

great tip , defo speeds things up

Is there a way to adjust the icon size in the developer options?

Yep. Be careful though. Remember what settings it was on. Take a screen shot of the settings, that's what I do. Have fun. Dev options are cool, but there's a reason they are Dev Options.

First thing I do on any Android device.

Second is to clear cached data and reboot when it gets above 1GB.

How do you clear cached data?

Ignore; I just figured it out.

Nice to hear that you got it. If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Yea that's why I'm reluctant. I modified the animation settings to speed things up but that's it. I sniffed around a little bit but I'm not sure which setting is for the icons. Don't want to royally mess something up.

SO true, but it's hard to mess something up that can be easily changed back. Thanks for the response!

Do you know which option edits icon size?

Do you know which option edits icon size?

Try this, not sure if BB implemented it: https://www.howtogeek.com/268754/how...ndroid-nougat/

[jamesharmeling]

Do you know which option edits icon size?

"Smallest width" is the option.

[craig428]

Thanks fellas.

Not seeing 'smallest width'. Must be a Nougat only thing.

[jamesharmeling]

Hm. Not sure if it's a Nougat thing. You don't see it like in this screenshot?

[craig428]

Yea it's missing on M but it's available on my S7 running N. Ah well.

[bob bagheri]

Has anyone noticed faster battery drain with dev mode on?

[dh321]

Yes, so true James. And I didn't do that...hope I hadn't messed up royally. K1 is rocking on day 2 of ownership but sure wish I had made a screenshot of settings "just in case"...
