Tired of Keeping Developer Mode ON Just to Control Animation Speed?
Many Android users prefer adjusting animation scales to make their devices feel faster and more responsive. Normally, this can be done through Developer Options, but there are a few drawbacks:
- Some banking and payment apps may not work properly when Developer Mode is enabled.
- Constantly turning Developer Mode ON and OFF is inconvenient.
- Accessibility settings offer limited control compared to Developer Options.
Fortunately, there's a simple solution that allows you to control animation scales without keeping Developer Mode enabled all the time.
What You'll Need
- An Android device
- A Windows laptop/PC
- ADB (Android Debug Bridge)
- Custom Animator app
