Boot Time?

---

one thing i've been curious about and haven't seen a thing on in any of the numerous impression/review articles i've read is a note on the the speed of the handset's boot up time.
i've got a droid now, and i absolutely hate how long it takes to transition from powered-off to operational. i go off and do something else, and it takes long enough where i've forgotten about it by the time it turns fully on.

so how long is the EVO's?

Probably because almost everybody leaves their phone on...and don't care how long it takes really...

1 minute or 5 minutes really don't bother most people including me, so thats why it isn't really said in reviews.

I think I saw somewhere where they said it was kind of long. I assume because of the startup animations. I don't know anything about rooting but from what i've gathered you might be able to disable some of those.

ok?
...and your point posting in this thread was? i don't care how many people leave their phone on, or the time frame that a phone needs to turn on in so not to bother people; i was asking how long the EVO takes to boot up. so thanks a lot.

In answer to your question... fast! Most boots seem to take about 20 to 30 seconds for me but one boot did take a minute. Regardless, it's faster than any Sense phone I have ever seen. throw AOSP on here and it should boot even faster.

awesome - appreciate the answer.
and yeah, i could imagine it powering up a bit faster with some tuning from xda.

I seen one IO user say his boot time on the Evo was less than a minute but I assume it also is a bare, non-custom, no extra apps device.

Boot time is definitely less than a minute, I'm using the HelixLauncher2 so everything comes up real fast after boot.

It's night and day compared to my old Hero.

I was just going to ask about this...

From fully OFF to the second I can see my lock screen(note, not fully operational yet, but can see the lockscreen), takes 1 minute and 20 seconds. Thats running Fresh 3.3 with whatever kernel comes with that Rom. A kid I go to school with, he has the same rom and kernel, his boots up to fully operational in about 45 seconds.

Just wondering if I can shorten that somehow.

Also, wondering if music and pictures have anything to do with it? Having to load all of that from the sd card might cause the delay?

Holy thread resurrection, Batman!
