Re: Do you enable force gpu in developer options?
I don't. Also read that increases battery drain.

No, it doesn't. It helps reduce (almost imperceptible, though, unless you open and close your apps thousands of times a day) battery consumption since you're effectively using the processor for less time for animations but it doesn't cause battery drain if you leave it 'as is', and the amount of battery time you save by setting it to 0.5 or 0 is almost negligible for normal users.

Re: animation scale
Yeah that's what I'm seeing. Not sure why those 2 were merged since they're 2 totally different topics.
Re: animation scale
I'm sure it's a simple mistake but damn talk about confusing lol.

Re: force gpu in developer options
How long have you been running with it on? Any negative effects on battery life?

Re: force gpu in developer options
I hear that you might get up to 15 percent less battery life? Please let us know when you test further.

I tried but AC forum app froze. So after I turned Gpu off the battery was draining way faster than anytime so I had to reboot. Don't know but I'm afraid for me it wasn't working out too good.
