Q: Is it possible to remove the animation after unlocking the phone / waking up the phone from standby?
After unlocking there comes the first 4 icons of the app grid from the bottom of the screen and the missed calls + SMS icons from left, for a second, and then they disappear again.
While this animation runs, no operation is possible. This is annoying, after using SFOS for more than 2 years I really know where the apps and the missed calls messages are!
Can I do some hack in some config files or is there some patch to remove this?
A simple message āphone unlockedā on the screen would be great! If not possible, better nothing than this animation!
That doesnāt happen to me - i need to touch a free space in the multitasking view to trigger that. And i can most definitely start doing things in the middle of the animation, but perhaps they are a bit slower to react.
@Levone1 Thank you! Exactly that did what I wanted. Restarting the screen by Hilfsprogramme was also needed, but now the annoying animation is gone.
@attah No surely not! I always treated my X10ās like a raw egg, and I really wonder why this animation doesnāt occur on your phone always after unlock with fingerprint, like on mine.
Strange indeed. Since i was comparing with a 10 II, i fired up my old and bent 10. I did get that animation at first boot, which probably is fine even if it blocks interaction. On unlocks 3 and onwards i only really catch the tail end of the animation (or a different one?) just zooming in, no hints. And here it does block interaction.
So i got curious; XA2 and X both display this behaviour - zoom-in animation only, no hints, blocking interaction.
Then back to to the 10 II, and now it also behaves the same Strange.
Iām sure i managed to trigger a zoomed-out cover yesterday.
The animation you refer to slightly zooms out and in on the cover grid, right?
For me it just starts zoomed out when i unlock, and then goes to full size.
I refer to this:
Device lies on the table and is in standby with dark screen,
I want to do something with the device,
I take the device and push the power button to wake it up,
Then I put the finger on the FP reader to unlock it,
At this point, as device is unlocked, after 1 second an animation started that shifts the top 4 starters of app grid (first line) from bottom up into the screen and also some notifications from left side (2. second), then shift them out of the screen again (3. second).
This animation is now gone and therefore Iām happy. It annoyed me really! because I always had to wait till it is finished before I could do what I wanted to do with the phone.
Yes, and as part of this animation, other than the first 4 apps popping up, and the notifications peeking in, is not the cover grid also zoomed out and in again?
So what iām saying is that for me only half of that part seems to happen, and it still gives me a similar problem (albeit quite brief).
This to make 2 points (apart from that i couldnāt reproduce it at all at first):
On my phones (Xperia 10) always only first line / 4 starters did pop up ftom bottom. Never more of them, while I have 35 starters on the app grid.
Additionally, the notifications came from left. But nothing else, never.
Not talking about app grid - but the cover grid, multitasking view, call it what you will, the page that said 4 apps and notifications come in onto. This probably isnāt noticeable if you have no apps running.
See line 237 NumberAnimation { duration: 250; easing.type: Easing.OutQuad }
Maybe change ā250ā to ā0ā. I canāt test at the moment, but probably later onā¦
Ok, itās line 200 of homeLayer.qml. it says readonly property real inactiveScale: Screen.sizeCategory >= Screen.Large ? 0.9 : 0.83
change it to readonly property real inactiveScale: Screen.sizeCategory >= Screen.Large ? 1.0 : 1.0
Hmm, i guess there is no need to keep the ?: conditional thenā¦
But yes, changing it to have no scale change on inactive also stops that animationā¦ (but only for the relevant transition).
Iāll go for a 100ms animation and see how i get on with that.
But the bigger question is why @Seven.of.nine gets a longer more involved animationā¦ strange!
And to me it looks like that would be the hintAnimation in EdgeLayer.qml, which has a 2-second pause in the middle of it. Definitely not something you want at every unlock. Surely that must be meant to run only once per session, at first start.
Iām glad you brought this up - I wouldnāt have thought of it, but itās much nicer with that animation disabled. Transitions feel much more comfortable and smootherā¦
The animation I think heās referring to happens not just when unlocking, etc., but anytime you go from an app to home screen, or any time you tap a card on the home screen to open an app. The app card will sort-of zoom out a bit, and then zoom back in. I giess itās just some eye candy by Jolla or something ā¦ Anyway, I disabled it and I like it much better.
Strange.
