Description

Animations within the OS cause a lot of ghosting, if we could paginate(?) things like settings, messages, contacts, and such, remove sliding animation on QS panel, change the unlock "slide" to a single gesture that responds after the slide is complete, these can reduce ghosting a lot and improve the overall experience for the user.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate LineageOS animation settings and code related to QS panel, unlock screen, and app transitions. Look in frameworks/base and packages/SystemUI for animation values (e.g., config shortAnimTime, config longAnimTime). Propose removing or adjusting specific animations to reduce ghosting.
