[Possibly Faster Boot] Disable Boot Animation

[kingofnice]

This is very simple. Any noob can follow this and most of you know of this tweak.

1)Open a Root Explorer app or any file manager with root permissions.

2)Go to /system

3)Mount folder in R/W and open build.prop in text editor

4)Scroll to the very bottom and enter

debug.sf.nobootanimation=1

5)Save and Exit. A full reboot is required to see that this works.

You can change =1 to =0 to disable this. Or simply delete the line that was added.


Pressing the thanks button is very appreciated.

P.S. I think this results in a faster boot up time. Let me know what you think.

made no difference whatsoever on my att hox+. all the boot anims still played.
but i'm not deodexed yet so that might be playing a role in that.

It does work.

I've tested this in hopes that some build.prop tweaks are worth it. Well this one is...my Samsung Galaxy Nexus booted from 3-5 seconds faster when the boot animation was disabled. It was noticeable that when the phone intially turned it took longer to get to the animation b/c it had to load it. However it is sort of scary to have my phone suddenly just 'turn on'.. oh well. less clutter

Thanks!

Thank you!
Works great for me...

My Device: Samsung Galaxy Ace (S5830)
Android 4.2.2: Cyanogenmod 10.1
Editor: TotalCommander

The Device starts 2-3 seconds faster... And the Interfaces (Touchscreen + Keys) respons faster after turning on, not so laggy!
I can enter my pin faster :silly:

Result:
Minimal effect nevertheless nice!
Try it guys!

Follow the guide and change the build.prop value to 0.

Also check to see if you even have a boot animation in /system/customize/resources/ or /system/media/

Boot animations cannot be compressed. So zip with 0 compression (store).

No thanks.

Your boot animation was likely deleted, moved, or renamed by the app you used. The boot animation file can be placed in many locations for use at startup. I would look in the /system/media folder for a file named bootanimation.zip, however the app may have renamed it. So it may not have the .zip at the end if that's the case then rename it back to bootanimation.zip and then give that a shot. If you don't find it there it could be in /system/customize/resources or even in the /data partition or moved to the SD card. Make sure the boot animation file exists before you attempt to fix anything.

Thanks so much!
Your tips worked like a charm.
Startup time is quicker, and less laggy on the homescreen!

Is it possible to disable the boot logo of the company that pops up during phone start?

That's called the splashscreen, can't change that unless your device is S-Off unfortunately

 

[dlewando]

is it possible to enable bootmessages?

yea,
thx 4 that. works with stock 4.4.2 on galaxy s3 neo (i9301i). does anyone know how to enable bootmessages? it will maybe slow down boot-time, but i'm interested in watching bootmessages on boot.

Thanks...working on my Note 4..Improved the boot speed by 3-4 seconds
