I hate splash screens/animations in general, disable them whenever I can, so I am curious about possibly disabling the boot animation on my xoom. No custom work, I just want it to go away because it's annoying.
At the absolute minimum I guess a static image wouldn't be too bad if removing the animation results in a black screen. I'd much prefer to see the actual linux/honeycomb boot messages, though. What's the best way to accomplish this?
you could just make a plain black screen boot animation. it would just display a black screen. problem would be is how would you know if you were in a boot loop?
you could also just rename bootanimation.zip and it will not play. it will display a black screen. but i agree with sardo, if you get into a boot loop you may be difficult for you to realize.

Drat. Thanks for the info guys. Is there no way to see the actual boot-up sequence? Some of the boot animations had seemingly useful info but I was wondering if that was actual boot data stylized by a template or just an animation that looked like one.
Create a Boot immage with the Bootloader Motorola Logo so it just sets on the same logo untill the OS boots up. Easy and doesnt have to be annimated

I thought this method actually has the effect of removing the Stock xoom boot animation but playing the stock android animation. The one that just has the word android with light going across it.

I put the r2d2 boot animation but would like to enable boot up sounds. Rooted, can't figure out where to drop the sound file. Tia

Is there not an answer to this question? I too would like to enable boot sound on my Droid 1.

Thanks for the quick reply, I'm gonna make a nandroid backup and try this out.

Worked great, thank you. Only disappointment was that the sound only plays for about 5 seconds instead of thru the whole boot animation. I guess it depends on how fast your phone boots?

What abt Milestone ?
Does anyone have any idea how many .png files you can have in a boot animation? Or how many you can get in at 20 or 30 frames per second before a normal captivate will boot?
I am remaking a Bios Boot screen for the captivate (modified BIOS boot screen not like the ones that are currently out), but I have a starting animation that is 80 frames already before I'm even into the BIOS part. Just wondering if there is a limit to the number of .png files you can use.
I also figure I will probably have to adjust the timings some to get it just right. I've lowered the setting in the desc.txt to 20 fps, but I guess if I have a lot of frames I may just need to set it back to 30.
I am currently using a boot animation with more than 300 frames in it. I think the "limit" just depends on how fast the phone actually takes to boot.
Thanks a lot for the info! It helps to know that I can at least go up to 300 if needed. I guess I'll just have to get it all set up, test and adjust it.
you should post the finished animation on here. I and I'm sure lots of other people would love to see it.
I definitely will. My first attempt was built off one that was made for the nexus, but I didn't realize someone had already built a similar one for the Captivate. The new one will be a little better. I've been messing around with photoshop and lens flares
This is the other one I made. I will probably incorporate the boot up sections in my new one.

Wait for a release that isnt alpha. The boot animation is the least priority atm. It will be better eventually.
It is always laggy because the system is loading files and the bootanimation use the cpu (display 30 frames/sec..). Disable bootanimation in order to boot faster
Laggy boot animation doesn't really matter as long as the ROM itself is smooth and not so buggy.
The boot animation is also ripped straight from CM9 so obviously it isn't a top priority for the Devs
I have tried several bootanimations, also changed framerate and size of images in animation, but it is still pausing / stuttering / lagging while loading system.
The only way to have smooth animation is to delete or disable bootanimation.zip and have system animation (the word "ANDROID" with reflection moving over it).
I doubt this is because of the framerate or image size / type of frames, because the stuttering occurred at the same moments of loading for the same period of time when i was changing bootanimation.zip.
I couldn't find any solution on the internet, but would be happy if i knew how to solve this problem. (although i realize there are far more important things to be done)
Edit: FIXED WITH TODAYS CM10 AND DEVIL'S KERNEL (22.8.2012)
I've decided to experiment with basic android development and I built a simple boot animation for myself based on the Aperture Laboratories logo from Valve's Portal 2. I followed the tutorial posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852621 and successfully built it, however when testing it on my computer I found that whenever it switches to another part, the animation moves to right.
I opened a different boot animation that does not have the same issue as mine and the pngs all have their graphics in the same position.
So is their something blatantly wrong with my file? Or should I just compensate by moving my graphics slightly to the left (want to avoid this as it means a lot of guesswork.)
Followed a couple tuts on how to get it, but the sound doesnt work. Also the size is very small.
Is there a animation file thats the right size? Also how do I get the boot sound to work with our device?
