is there any hack to disable the fading in/out animation on iphone when you close or open an application?

is there something we can edit so there is no animation, it will make the iphone FEELS faster. you know, just like the feeling you had when you are using windows xp with no animation of drop down or right click menu.

i know it's a silly question, just for the heck of it!

what i mean is just like this trick in win xp..

This is one of my favourite tweaks as it makes a huge difference to how fast your machine will ‘feel’. What this tweak does is remove the slight delay between clicking on a menu and XP displaying the menu.

1. Go to Start then Run
2. Type ‘Regedit’ then click ‘Ok’
3. Find “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\”
4. Select “MenuShowDelay”
5. Right click and select “Modify’
6. Reduce the number to around “100″
7. This is the delay time before a menu is opened. You can set it to “0″ but it can make windows really hard to use as menus will open if you just look at them - well move your mouse over them anyway. I tend to go for anywhere between 50-150 depending on my mood

Well there must be if that task manager app does it.

I'm guessing you are referring to the paid app in the App store?

Don't really want to pay for it just to see the proof of concept, but maybe it's an App specific setting.

Hmm, wish there was a way to disable it for all Apps across the board.

hes talking about a cydia app called kirake. its a task manager for the iphone.
 
it will make the iphone FEELS faster

The opening animation is there to distract you from the application's load time. Without it when you press on an icon and there will be a second (or more if its a big app) lag before anything happens.

Add Camera to kirake's favorites and turn off animations. Now launch Camera regularly and with k. There is a noticeable lag before the app launches.
