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)

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.

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.
just got my razr i here in the uk. love the device so far. fantastic form factor and importantly for me, a superb battery life one things nagging me though...is anyone else seeing a slight 'jerky' animation? i see it when swiping left to the 'quick settings' screen and when pressing the apps button. once in the apps though the left <> right swiping is perfect! pressing the home button from the home screen to show 'manage pages' too is pretty jerky or laggy but not sure if that is how it should be this guy sees it initailly when starting the game just before 4.00 mins in
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SILUVIwiNF0
but once the game is running all seems ok. this guy i can see it at 1.57 when he swipes left from the homescreen to the 'quick settings'
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rfud0GFXRg&feature=related
seems like it occurs when at some places within the phone but not everywhere. have i been spoilt using a nexus for the past week running a silky smooth jellybean vs this running ics? or is it a defective unit?
I would say on mine there is the slightest pause when moving to the quick settings that I hadn't noticed before! I hope it doesn't bug me now!!
Going to the manage pages screen or indeed the "helicopter view" (pinch zoom on the homescreen) is really jerky. But I dont find any noticeable lag or jerkiness anywhere else. In fact I find the whole experience smoother and slicker than even my Nexus 7. The only better Android experience I had was Jelly Bean on the Galaxy Nexus which is super silky.
Jelly Bean is slightly faster at a number of things especially switching screen context as the CPU is ramped to a high clock speed as soon as you touch the screen. I noticed the improvement in opening things like the app drawer when I had my Galaxy Nexus and upgraded to JB.

ooops sorry about that! :laugh:well i've adjusted both 'window animation scale' and 'transition animation scale' from 1x to off and that certainly speeds the whole ics experience up so that is worth doing if you have not. hope it does not affect the phone in another adverse way though

Does that not disbale animations?
don't think so. just seems to speed things up a touch.
This does indeed deactivate some Animations but only the ones Navigating in Apps or Settings and so on.
The actual Launcher Animation is not changed at all.
I have the same lag and its not so bad but still somehow annoying.
Didn't noticed that so much in all the test videos out there.
Someone tried to do a hard reset and start from scratch? Maybe fixes it.

I noticed really jerky animations on an M I saw at a Verizon kiosk, and the i seems to be fine from videos I see.
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.)
In android 12 there is new overscroll stretch animation.
There is some option to turn it off without disabling all others animations or bring back old android 11 overscroll effect?
In chrome we can disable it using this flag:
chrome://flags/#elastic-overscroll
First thing I kill on Adroid is animations, enjoy the fast UI...
I'm wondering if there is a flag which can be changed using adb shell settings
is there really no way to disable android 12's overscroll??

"Changing Animator Duration Scale in Developer Options to Animation Off is the solution. You need to refresh whatever app you're on to see the effects. So after making the changes in Dev Options, close the app that you're experiencing the stretchy texts on and reopen it to see the changes made."
Not sure if this works. A fast phone doesn't need any animations, etc. One of the first things I disable in Developer options. Animations where junkware in XP×64, still junkware today...
I tried it before and it works, but i want every animation to stay normal EXCEPT overscroll. Disabling all in-app animations for one eye-straining animation is dumb. It'd be great if there's a way to replace the overscroll animation or disable it alone...

Not that I know of. A chrome edit maybe, try searching for that. Many browsers allow you to alter their default hidden settings.
All animations do is make a fast UI less usable. I want to see real time what's going on, or not. Whenever I see lag that's not internet connection related I go into witch hunting mode.
Is there no way to remove that annoying effect? I don't understand how there is no option other than removing all the animations...
i really hate it
