Best practices for smooth android animation

[s.t.a.s]

Hi everyone!
I'm trying to figure out how to make better animation for Android (on iOS all works as usually fine). For example, I started to use Ext.Animator instead of Ext.Anim and my code is:

this.parent.getScrollable().getScroller().getMomentumEasing().y.setMomentum(
{
	acceleration: 0
});
Ext.Animator.run({
	element: itemContainer,
	duration: 100,
	easing: 'ease-in',
	preserveEndState: true,
	from: {
		left: this.minX
	},
	to: {
		left: this.maxX
	},
	onEnd: function () {
		this.parent.getScrollable().getScroller().getMomentumEasing().y.setMomentum({
			acceleration: 30
		});
	}
});

As a result, I see that animation on Android became better, but anyway is worse then on iOS. And I need your advice what to change, how to work with it?

Best practice to smooth android animation is to use iOS

Don't have too much animating, don't use box shadows, don't do complex animations, switch to iOS

Sadly this is the best answer. I tested a client implementation of our mobile app and it just shines on iOS. I tested on about 10 Android devices, even the latest Samsung phones and tablets, and the experience just wasn't as smooth. A Kindle Fire hacked to run Android 4 was very close to iOS in smoothness.
