When scrolling in menus, on websites and in games I’ve found the display to be incredibly choppy, likened to low fps. It was so choppy I was sure something was wrong. Swyping was slow and laggy. Essentially it made the phone feel very sluggish like it couldn’t keep up.
2021 version 2e on 1.0-q.
Enabling “Disable HW overlays” in Developer mode made it smooth as silk. It also made it where Night Light would work properly as well. I have to re-enable this after every reboot.
Hi @imatt ,
Thanks for this. I have a T2e first batch and though the screen was not incredibly choppy (and I don’t play games), it is noticeably more fluid now. Additionally, the Night Light started working just as you say
So now that we know how to fix something by pushing a few buttons, I was wondering if anybody “in the know” (the /e/ people…) would be kind enough to look at this and possibly provide some sort of an explanation as to the underlying mechanism (or maybe get it on the list of To-Dos). Is it possible to make this setting stick across reboots?
Cheers:

Another thing I do is in Developer Options:
Window animation scale: Animation off
Transition animation scale: Animation off
Animator duration scale: Animation off

I just updated /e/OS to 1.1 R today on the emerald. UX seems much smoother now. So far I haven’t needed to use the workaround. I’ll see if stays smooth for the current battery cycle.
The forum is choppy but then again I access it via WebApps mostly.
1.1q on 2e update.
Works smoothly for a while, but then you need to flip the overlay switch in Dev options. Haven’t been able to determine the timeframe or trigger for when it “stops working.”
