Disable boot animation

[Guest wbaw]

Add this line to /system/build.prop

debug.sf.nobootanimation=1

This disables the boot animation & slightly speeds up boot.

Nice! Is there a way to find out all the commands that can be added to build.prop?

(Especially interesting with regards to the app isambard will be writing.)

Do you get all the Linux style text scrolling up the screen or is it just blank?

No scrolling, just the Android. Don't think boot up is faster though.

[Guest wbaw]

It just stays on the green android until it's loaded.

I found the option while I was digging around in some of the config files in /etc . It said in the comments that it was to speed up reboot times for testers (or something to that effect). I think it might be a tiny bit faster, but seems longer without the animation to look at :D

There are probably a few more debug.sf options that could be used in build.prop

Me too :S Or the old cylon-eye (KITT) boot animation, both are hardcoded. And was present only in the first versions sadly (beta 05-07 of the emulator).

That only looks possible if you're a kernel hacker. However, if recompiling kernels is your thing, it might not be so hard to do, it's been done on other android phones.
