Both devices ("Google Nexus 5 - 5.1.0 - API 22 - 1080x1920" and "Samsung Galaxy S3 - 4.1.1 - API 16 - 720x1280") are set up with animations disabled. To automate the disable animations part, we could also use the method described there: https://gist.github.com/xrigau/11284124
Start tests on our 5.1.0 and 4.1.1 devices:
./gradlew connectedDebugAndroidTest -Pdevices=5.1.0,4.1.1
