You can disable animations in Android in the accessibility settings. Not just make faster but completely disable. That's one of the reasons I'll never go to iOS. I can't stand losing time on pointless UI stuff. Wasting my time isn't delighting at all.

Great tip. I had the "Remove animations" setting feature enabled. Hopefully it's just a temporary bug that this doesn't disable the lockscreen animation.
