[Re-Posted] Speed up Your Note.

[berdinkerdickle]

I originally found this over at xda, but it was also posted here sometime back.
Sorry I don't remember who to give credit for this fix.
.
After disabling every bloat app you can, go
into about phone, click the build number 7
times or however many it says to to enable
developer settings. Then go into developer
settings and turn all 3 animation settings
down to 0.
Download Nova launcher, set the speed to
faster than light and then profit. Makes even
a stock Samsung phone kinda snappy. A lot
better than it is out of the box.
.
There's also one to disable the home button from opening s-voice.
.
Doing the above made an outstanding difference in speeding up my Note 2.

Can this be done with Apex launcher?

I didn't add a launcher to my Note.
The only two tweaks I did was to go into developer settings and disable the animations, and disabled the home button from launching s-voice.

Disabling the home button from launching s-voice is done from the s-voice app in the apps settings.

Those things speed up a Note 3 or Note 4 also. (And probably any Samsung phone.)

N2myN2, yes. Apex is about my second favorite launcher. (But I've been using Nova so long that even though I have Apex installed, I still have Nova set as the default.)
