Don't want boot animation

I don't know about a lot of you, but I find a certain comfort in watching all the text fly by as my PC boots up. It's nice to see that stuff is happening and that it hasn't totally locked up. That being said, is there any way to see the actual text of the Android OS booting up instead of having to watch an animation. I know there is a boot animation designed to look like a computer bios and all, but I want to see the actual verbose readout of Android booting up.

There's a thread concerning this already but it doesn't seem like they made much headway. The closest I could see from that thread is the following app.

Cool, I searched, but I guess I just wan't using the right wording or something. I'll look into those.

Also, if you have ADB configured, you can do
Code:
adb logcat
to see it booting. It's what I do whenever I turn on my phone to guarantee something is happening.

[ROM][R2] HoneyStreak HD7 2.0 RELEASE 2(3.2)

update 18/08/2011
changed some minor things here, and split build into 2 versions
changelog:
Added ad-hoc wifi support
Added a cool new feature that im not revealing yet, little challenge for you folks
Split build into 2 versions, one for wi-fi only devices and one for 4g ones, wifi only build is exactly same as 4g except all the 3g/4g related services and apps have been removed - should save battery somewhat
hello again folks,
some good news here and some bad news.
firstly this builds being released as a Release version as its pretty much 100% working now,
screenshots are unfortunatly broken again though as ive had to replace alot of files to get rest working, its a kernel related issue and cant be easily fixed until dell drop the kernel next month hopefully.
changelog:
Rebased Yet Again onto a newer 3.2 device build,
Fixed MTP Usb support so mounting of storage is alot more usable
hacked the hell out of most of the system apps to get them working right for streaks screen res.
launcher works properly again
default lcd density of 120 again which is perfectly usable.
camera supports upto 720p video, 1080p doesnt work right so removed the ability for now
resized the partitions so that their is about 6gb for apps and data and ~8.1gb remaining for user storage - thats a issue in the way honeycomb manages storage
1080p and 720p video playback works perfectly also
Install Instructions:
1. Download the streakdroid zip from below, this contains all the files and drivers required to flash your device to honeycomb
2. Extract the zip to a folder on your pc - I recommend c:\flash and will use that path in this example
3. Backup your streak7 internal storage if you have not already as it WILL BE WIPED
4. Backup your streak7 internal storage if you have not already as it WILL BE WIPED
5. Backup your streak7 internal storage if you have not already as it WILL BE WIPED
6. Turn off your 7 and unplug the usb cable from it, then hold BOTH volume keys down and connect the usb cable, if done correctly your pc should detect the apx device. choose to update the driver, choose the second option then let me choose from a list, choose have disk then navigate to c:\flash\usbpcdriver and choose the only one it shows (Nvidia boot recovery driver for mobile devices)
7. Double click the Download.bat file in the c:\flash directory and wait a while it will take some time depending on the speed of your pc and usb ports.
8. Once the box disappears hold down power on your 7 untill dell logo appears (can take a little while) then wait for a few mins for some honeycomb tasting goodness.

Links no work... am I too early?

links fixed

Alright, I will start buggy testing this and get back to you... it just booted. WOOHOO!!

Bug 1, can't install anything. I've tried to install things from the market and from my card... no go. Just say's "Cannot open file" .
Edit: Rebooted twice to see if that would fix the problem... no go.

didnt get that here, tho i suspect i know the issue,
replace the files in the flash folder with the ones attached, and reflash
edit: sorry fixed the files in the attached zip now, it should flash

Flashed it just now. nice boot animation.
trying to install titanium from the market fails, tries to download but quits without status message

Now I get a System.img too large for partition when trying to flash. DOH!

yea ill be uploading a fixed build in a sec have fixed issue here

yep im fixing that issue now, gimme 15 mins )

Eagerly Anticipating
Cant wait to test it out
Have a couple of fast questions though. Any idea if bluetooth keyboards are working properly? Also, I am using co-pilot ( GPS Software for Android ) .... that should work correctly im hoping right ? lol. I saw somewhere that theres a way to get Netflix working so Im not too concerned with that although its one of the other main uses for my streak
Thanks for your hard work DJ_Steve

Yes Thanks for your hard work DJ_ Steve, really appreciate it.

Booting Now...............
Love the boot animation
Looks Amazing. Market is working here for me ( WIFI Only DS7 )
PS
On a side note. Is there any way you could create the same kind of setup so its easy to flash the stock partitions back? I know how to get it working via nvflash but this would make recovery so much faster lol

Market working now, everything seems to work, bluetooth, youtube in landscape and portrait and the camera is working perfect. I have to lower the lcd density to 105 for the kindle to app work but no biggie. This is perfect, don't really see a need for an official build from Dell now.
Although I kinda miss the launcher icons from the asus transformer build and the weather widget, anyone know how to port those over?

/Agree...Dell can just can the project. Now if only netflix would work LOL
Also, is there an easier way to adjusting density rather than modifying files? I was using lcd density changer previously but that doesnt work now

Congratulations DJ_Steve! Yet another masterful release! I have taken peeks at some other projects you've worked with, including the Nokia N800 OS changes(Have one myself!), and I am thoroughly impressed and humbled by your innate ability to develop quickly and with the best flourishes. I hope to see you continue on with this and other new projects that I can invest some time and money in!

I bought an app from the market that worked for me from beansoft https://market.android.com/details?id=com.beansoft.lcd_density_changer
It saves the lcd density permanently to the appropriate file. I have mine set to 105 for the kindle app to work.

Installed cm7 no signal

Install CM7 that I got from this thread ([ROM] CyanogenMod 7.2.4e (Android 2.3.7) [20121230])
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=941346
Everything works nicely other than I have no signal to network.
I'm pretty sure it has to do with the basebands but I am not sure which one I should flash.
I also read that there should be an option in advanced settings that should let me select different basebands, but I cannot seem to find advanced settings.

Just to be clear, do you have a Milestone, right?
The baseband selection should be there somewhere, look for Milestone Settings and/or Advanced Settings in the settings menu.

The baseband settings were under device settings......
I was so keen on finding "advanced settings" I completely looked over device settings.
I fee like such a moron. everything is fine now, phone is working WITH service.
Thanks for trying to help though. Much appreciated.

1 more question. I didn't want to create a new thread for such a small thing.
When I turn on the phone, before the CM7 boot screen I get a "2ndboot kernel restart progress" screen. How do I remove this screen from my phone startup?

Read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1986076
If you delete that file then I think all you will see is a black screen instead so if you don't like it then replace it.

I thought the 2nd boot screen was slowing down my phones start up. I thought it had to load "reset the kernel" first and then load up CM7.
So from reading that post it looks like that splash screen before the CM7 load screen is necessary, and I can only change what that image(broken glass) is?

2ndBoot is necessary to load a custom kernel, as a way around the locked bootloader. Yes, the boot is a bit slower, but the new kernel makes it all worth it - way more stable, better performance, new features (swap) etc. The development for this phone has been nothing short of incredible.

Displaying that image doesn't need mush resources so by deleting it you would't even notice the difference.
If you delete the bootanimation.zip , which is the CM's bootscreen, you can see some speedup, but nothing significant.

Alright. Learned quite a lot from reading this responses and guides. Thanks for everyone's help.

any way to change the R1 HD Boot animation?

So its been a very long time since I last rooted and played with an android phone, until now. And it has been fairly easy going with this device. I don't really want to do much more or get crazy with theming etc... But I would love to see something nicer than the stock BLU boot animation...

As long as you are rooted you can download boot animations from the play store. Its worked fine for me.

You can change the boot animation by changing the boot animation zip like on any other Android device.

Do I have to match the same resolution of the original or will it fit to screen? Also does the same process work for shutanimation.zip? And I assume bootaudio.mp3 and shutaudio.mp3 can also be replaced?? Thanks

Thanks, for helping answer those for me, i just read the following so I'll just try some premade ones out until I have time to come up with my own
"As a rule, a boot animation made for a lower resolution device will run fine on a high resolution one but it will be centered on the screen, with the extra screen space around it not being used. Using a high resolution boot animation on a low resolution device will result in the boot animation not fully displaying on the screen, with its outer parts being cut off due to being outside the screens bounds."
And this seems to be a good read on getting started on my own...
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-change-customize-create-android-boot-animation-guide/

Replacing both animations resulted in the boot animation being changed but the shutdown animation is still stock, so the software must be reading it from a different location.

You can brush a third party rom, or use software changes, you may need root privileges

[3066x1219] "Powered by Android" HQ Logo PNG

This is the "Powered by Android" logo/icon that is found on Android Q (10) splash screen. This asset is normally only accessible from an OEM Google Partner account, but I found this from an OEM, so it's pretty much guaranteed to be legitimate and full quality. Uses the original filename I found it as. Can use this for any artwork you want to do, such as boot-logos/splash screens. Enjoy.
