This sounds kind of like "live logcat", is it similar?

i am on aokp b37 also.

good work!

You need to rename /system/bin/bootanimation to something else

exactly what I came here to say. I tried it a while back and it worked flawlessly: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...cat.lite&hl=en

No it's different.
Livelogcat is a bootanimation which draws logcat messages in a complex manner.
My patch disables the animation and let the kernel print messages like it does on PC and servers:

can you give us the source code?

Here, flashable zip in recovery

Using any kernel format installer (koush) does not touch the existing ramdisk (no problem on CM etc)

and Kernel.Messages.bootanimation_Restore.zip reverting /system/bin/bootanimation
(Edit : If you deleted that file already, flash Installing_system.bin.bootanimation.zip to restore)

I used image flasher GUI on my ns4g but apparently it is not supported for gnex. What are some other methods of flashing an image.
