Hello, My HTC desire HD has recently been updated to android 2.5.3 by official update. Now it has this fancy but useless 3D effect animation when you wakeup the phone ( I can accept the slide bar becomes the rising circle maybe due the apple patent problem) . But when the phone wakes up there is an animation of spin of screen. I really don't need this "feature" which make my operation slow!!!. I tried "setting->display->no animation" but this option doesn't help.

Please anyone knows how to disable this animation?
 
i think he means , after you unlock it , the screens spin and fly their way into the main home screen .... if you get what i mean

Ahh makes sense, my bad for not understanding was tired at the time :).

Anyway if the option of "no animation" doesn't disable it I doubt it can be disabled.
So you either stick with it or get a launcher like GO Launcher EX and ditch the HTC sense look.
Or Alternatively you can also root your phone and get a Sense Rom, but I'm guessing if you haven't rooted yet you'd be a bit hectic about rooting. I used to be hectic about rooting but after I had rooted my DHD I decided to never go back to the stock rom :p.

Hi thanks all for help. that was what I meant, sorry for confusion.
McCookie, I am new to android. I can understand "GO Launcher EX" which is the APP I can install and customise the phone UI. What do you mean by "root your phone and get a Sense Rom"? Isn't this phone already use a "HTC Sense Rom".
Do you mean to root into phone and replace the Sense Rom with something else? or Do you mean that once I root into phone so I can have more modification options to the Sense ROM UI? Is there any link or tutorial you can point that to me? I would like to solve this problem! thanks

well I meant after you root there are ROMS which aren't like the stock Sense but modified improved versions so you could root your phone and get a ROM like the ARHD rom, there should be more information about this in the "all things root " section, since I'm stillba newbie in rooting :D. Or you can visit the xda website, but they sometimes use technical terms which are sometimes hard to understand.
