Just installed the update. The installation process went smooth as usual, but yanky animations in the latest version have degraded the user experience.
The animation to switch between different views (single app, card view, switch to home screen view) are stuttery and slow, as is the new “un-blur” effect when unlocking the phone using the fingerprint sensor. Animations within apps (e.g. scrolling) remain smooth, which makes me suspect this isn’t an issue with the graphics driver but rather with the launcher.
As one piece of the puzzle, I notice there are some new visual effects with this update. When switching from an app to the card view of open apps, there is a blurring effect on the background and on the card displaying the current app.
As for my phone: it’s an 8GiB RAM, 256GiB storage FP4. Developer options were disabled, but I did just enable them and found that disabling “vervagen op vensterniveau toestaan” (allow blurring at window level) removes the jitter. However, I have at least one app that refuses to start when developer options are enabled, so this is not a permanent solution to the performance issue.
