How can I go about removing the boot image? Running CoolRom DE 1.4.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA
Now why would you want to do that?
I guess you could just delete Vigor_VZW_bootanimation.zip from system/customize/resource but then you would have like 20 seconds of black screen when your phone boots up.
or you can just change the boot animation!
True. Maybe I'll do that.

I suppose you could make a zip with just one image as opposed to several and name it Vigor_VZW_bootamimation.zip and put it in /system/customize/resources
So you are ok with black screen?
The coolest boot animation I have seen is Live Logcat and Live Dmesg. It's been a while since I've tried, but I didn't have success on the Rezound.
Anybody want to try out either of them? If you buy both paid versions, then you can run both and touch the screen to switch between them or run both at the same time.
It is animation to end all animations...
Would removing it increase boot time at all? If it doesn't I wouldn't see the point in removing it. It let me know if something is wrong when it just hangs.

I actually found the boot animation thread and grabbed the Nexus one off of there and it's fine. I just don't like the CoolRom one. Was sweet when I first flashed it, but now I'm tired of it.

Naw it wouldn't increase the boot time. I wanted it removed because I just didn't like the CleanRom animation, but I found an alternative that's fine for me.

Sorry, I meant speed up boot time. I wasn't too fond of the Clean Rom boot animation either.

Oh, I thought everyone wanted to increase their boot time?
Supposedly disabling boot animation provides a faster boot. I never tested it though but it seems like it should.

480x800 is what works for me
it's hard to get a good boot animation to work in a real fullscreen (1024x600) setting because it's just too hard to display that many images (it's just pictures) and boot up at the same time. That's why I've started sticking with the cyanogen versions.
I would dig on nice looking boot up screens that were not designed to be viewed on smaller displays (ie, no hard edges, just black edges to the images)
That one looks very nice though.

Here's the boot animation that I use. I extracted it from the flashable Dark Horse theme in the Hero C forums (thanks to Kfunk & Mod Nation for actually making it usable) and resized it to 1024X600 and added a few additional frames for a smoother look if anyone wants to try it. I've been to lazy to make it a flashable, so drop it in /system/media and rename it from honeyblue.zip to bootanimation.zip.

I had this on my EVO at one time. So your good?

lags a bit on E3D. How can I speed it up?
Have to open it and change the desc.txt looks something like
540 960 20
p 1 0 part0 (something like this)
( that 20 or whatever its at ) controls the speed you can change it by 5's so up by 5 is faster,down by 5 is slower
brought to you by the little voices in my head
schwartz did you get it to the right speed
I was able to change the speed, but couldn't fix the lag. It was 200p and when changing the speed it skipped part 0 and went to part 1. I tried a whole bunch of numbers from 20p - 300p
No worries. Its not that important to me. I was just trying to get an idea of how these things are compiled.
I cant even get this thing to run on my 3d. How did you install it?

Use root explorer or adb to put it in either system/customize/resource (named Sprint_bootanimation) or data/local (named bootanimation )
now the voices are in 3d
Ok got it working. Thanks for the tip. Wish it would run a little smoother though.

Wasn't able to get this working in either directory. Permissions were changed and I've had other boot animations working. Running Synergy ROM. No big deal, but wanted to give a heads up.
Edit: NEVERMIND! Got it working. Something was messed up with the .ZIP you posted. Here's the I modified that works for me.
I used this on my NS4G and it ran smooth, here is the link for that thread and the download. Maybe this one will help. this ran horizontal with the phone in a vertical position, not like the other that was horizontal on a horizontal phone

First of all, I wanted to say my CRT off animation is weird on my SII. It seems to flash white before starting. It was much smoother and sexier on my Captivate and even looks better on the DROID 3. It looks weird on mine. I've tried it on both UnNamed and Cog X2, both have that weird thing. Is it just KH7, or is it just something unfixable?
My CRT off animation looks like that too. it looks bad. it started when I flashed cog b4(had it on stock and it looked fine).

Yeah it does look bad. It looks fine on stock? I'll have to look into that. I guess it's something with custom ROMs. It's really sad...
when I say stock I don't mean pure stock. I had it after I flashed the 12 toggle mod and it included it and it looked fine then but after flashing cog I noticed it. If I can help in anyway let me know. Your work with the captivate was great btw

I'm talking to GTG right now. I mentioned this, hopefully I'll get to the bottom of it. Personally I'm not sure what exactly to do...
On another note, he fixed my animation issues (present in his UnNamed ROM and Cog X2) by disabling slowBlur. Ever noticed pressing Menu on the home screen and opening popups like in settings with brightness and volume, that the popups open with an animation that seems to be half missing? He fixed that for me. So I'm hoping he will find this too. The guy really knows his stuff.
Thanks for the compliment! I hope to soon start some projects for the SII!
Some news coming from GTG
However, the CRT animation on dg's rom and on my rom (with the addon) is as good as it's going to get. It just isn't rendered right on the Galaxy S II and no one has figured out why definitively. Whoever told you it works fine on stock just doesn't have a very discerning eye. Read that whole thread I linked you to. The international GSII owners already went through this long ago and accepted that the CRT animation will never be quite right on the SGS2 with Samsung based ROMs. CRT is fine on CM7 though apparently.

This is so weird. Up to this point, my CRT worked wonderfully. So well that it looked native. I saw this thread, so I looked at it again and now mine has the white screen issue (for the first time) .
EDIT - Upon reboot, my CRT returned to normal. One of the lucky ones I guess.
Thought it was my just my phone. It was fine until yesterday...well at least I first noticed it yesterday...all static-barcode looking. But I can say honestly at one point it was definitely smooth because I played with it continuously when I first enabled it because it looked so sweet on my screen.

Apparently it has a lot to do with the music player and screen shot app. But no matter what I still get a weird flash in the middle of it, ruining it. On KH7 anyway, with slowBlur off.
Rebooted, still funky.

It isn't a fix, nor does it actually work. It looks better, and that's it. Notice how when you press the power button, the screen turns white then shrinks towards the middle. That's not how the animation should work. It should take the screen, and shrink that towards the center, I assume with a white outline. The problem is the last screenshot taken I guess, or just the buffer/cache somewhere.

Well...er...can confirm that reboot worked for me too!!!
On UnNamed with slowBlur off, a reboot makes it look almost acceptable. Still wrong compared to my Captivate.
Restoring a backup of stock that came with my phone, gonna enable it there and see if that works. Just in case...
On stock firmware which came with the phone, I manually enabled CRT off. It works, but still not correctly. It does not shrink the screen, but a while screen. And has a weird flash in it. Guess that's a nope. It's USABLE but nowhere near perfect.
So I need someones help. I deleted the screen capture apk, and now pressing the key combo just makes the phone vibrate. So somewhere there is a link between that apk and the button combo. Can someone help me find that?
I would help but I have almost no android ( or Linux for that matter) experience. I would love to learn so I can finally start giving back to the community.

So the CRT should be on here completely bone stock? After reading this, I tried and do not get the CRT animation. I checked and all animations is selected. WTF?
I was wondering if there is a way now that we have root to enable the Gingerbread on / off animation that HTC removed, without having to flash a new ROM?
This is different than the power up / restart / down animation that is listed elsewhere in this forum.
Thanks!
I just searched around, and maybe it's lack of proper wording but all I turned up was "it's in Gingerbread" Nothing relating to how to activate/deactivate/change it. What I would surmise from all of this is that HTC chose not to implement it in their build, so an AOSP build would/should have it vs the HTC build.. Sucks but it seems like all we have right now.
Of course the last link I try, I find this: http://droidmodderx.com/old-school-crt-animation-for-gingerbread-tv-off/
Don't go flashing it, but we should be able to pick it apart and determine what we need to add in.
I was able to add it in but HTC messed something in the code up and the animation plays extremely slow. I'm still looking around to see if i can figure out how to speed it up and once i do it'll be in my rom.
Awesome. This is my first Android and I've seen it in videos. Seems pretty cool!
u can try spare parts+ to speed up the animation.

Are you talking about the animation that comes up when you turn your phone off/on? The animation on the CM roms? If thats the one your talking about I would love it too.

No, this is when you put the screen to sleep(tap the power button, or wait for the screen timeout).
It's called the CRT animation, is mimics the screen "twitch" old CRT computer monitors.

Negative, according to Newt and Chingy, the animation does work but there's something within the OS that slows it down dramatically, so it's pretty much useless.
We'll have this soon enough, the dev's are awesome and they'll figure it out. I do like having those animations.

Coming from EVO 3D, I know it took them quite a while to get CRT working there, as well.
Each ROM try to have one or several boot animations: a cartoon or animated banner, whatever. I find it childist and sometimes non-sense.
I mean: who is powering-on a device and stay watching it while booting?
By the way, I preffer that standard Motorola with the M inside the circle instead of those full color...
... Maybe because M for Melvyn
Rebooting your phone is not a very fun and exciting experience, so why not at least try to make it more bearable with some pretty? By that token, why bother changing the boot logo too?
To each their own. If you're happy with your stock stuff, then by all means stick with it.
Counter-question: why the need for a new thread though? And in the wrong section too... Should be in Q&A, since it's a question.

It's all about customization. personally I like to change both the boot logo and animation. I fail to see why this is childish. I think your post however is!
Cheers!
I like the animation a lot. And honestly for me its part of the room experience.
Stock blur with the pulsing m, cm7 with the android and now epinters cm10 with the animated circle - they all give me this specific rom feeling. I dont see this as childish.
I dont quite get it either. The only reason I can think of is that you reboot your phone on a regular basis, in which case there's something wrong with it. I myself dont care so long as it doesnt make me somewhat embarrassed should my phone reboot. So over the life of my phone, I've used the stock Moto boot animation, the stock CM7 one (since it wasnt too bad) and the stock CM10 one. When on other roms and while on CM9, I removed it entirely to get the standard "ANDROID" text boot logo.
TL;DR version: the more flashy, the less I like it. The more minimalist or discrete, the better.
