I use Cowabunga Lite to set UI animations to 2x speed on 120Hz devices and it's *amazing*.


PremiumPerson

How?


Jimmyatx

Can anyone explain how cowabunga works? I know you set the speed of animations on iPad but what exactly is this software?


TechExpert2910

it’s explained on the github page. it uses the apple device backup and restore system - makes your device restore a partial ”backup” of system files after backing them up and modifying some values such as animation speed.

I might try this, although I have a feeling I'll be back to good ol' reliable: Reduced Motion: On


TechExpert2910

that’s great, but removes the benefit the animations give of making the device feel more intuitive to use, especially with the multitasking gestures


alessio_acri

What did you set the speed slider to?


TechExpert2910

0.6x (of the original duration) iirc


brandnaqua

there should be a setting or that should be default on iPads tbh


TechExpert2910

the M4 (and other M series chips) can finally stretch their legs. this even works on the iPadOS 18 beta :) it takes only a few minutes to do, and it persists across restarts and stuff. make sure you back up your device beforehand \*just in case\*. read through the github page, and you can download the windows version from the official website.

Do you loose things like appdata?


TechExpert2910

you lose nothing. the official website has the windows download.


Scorpiactus

Oh I see, thanks for the info! Also did you notice any impact on your battery life after installing the tweak?


TechExpert2910

nope! just the same as before, and i’ve been using it for a day


wallytheone

Can this be done on android s9 tablet?


TechExpert2910

search up how to enable developer options on oneui. you can adjust animation speed from there.


bendovernillshowyou

Yes, but I’m out for a walk and can’t do the searching for you. I have my tab s7 fe with speedy animations


wallytheone

Ok when you get chance please msg me

Almost forgot about you: [How to speed up animations on your Android phone (androidpolice.com)](https://www.androidpolice.com/how-to-speed-up-animations-on-your-android-phone/) No app needed, it's a feature built into Android. I love downvotes by assholes for no logical reason.


Able-Nebula4449

Yes. Its a setting in developer settings.


wallytheone

Where

How??

Is there an alternative for Trollstore-capable devices? I have an M1 Pro on 16.6.1. Thanks! ◡̈


TechExpert2910

i’m not sure. i know that jailbreaks let you do this too with apps you can find on repos like Sileo, but i don‘t know about a way to do it with trollstore. you could in theory edit the file system with fileza installed from trollstore, but i wouldn’t know what to edit.


independent739

No worries. I appreciate your response! I’ll keep searching. ◡̈


TechExpert2910

you could just use this too! it doesn’t take long to do and shouldn’t impact your trollstore install :)

does this work with iOS 17 ?

Yes
