Why does everyone seem to care about boot animations?

How often is everyone rebooting their phone?? I saw my boot animation once.. The first boot after flashing a rom. Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems like a ridiculous thing to care about

I reboot my phone every morning when flashing the newest CM10 nightly. And I always flash the stock jelly bean animation just because I like having a "pure" Android experience!

With all devices, I reboot maybe three times a week just to refresh. I like to see a custom or nice animation when it's loading. Really I'm trying change my splash screen. Coming from og evo, this must be done.

The great thing about Android is ability to customize. Why leave out the bootanimation?

For someone that is always flashing different roms/updates it is nice to see animation you choose to see. Just another part of the whole theme experience. Personally, I hate the stock animation because there are ones that are so much better and it is so easy to change them.

We all have our likes and dislikes. I flash Roms a lot + power cycle my phone daily. I like seeing different boot animations.

everybody wants to control and be independent. so why not experience that with urban phone even with something that people think meaningless like bootanimation. is that not why ur using a android phone not that out of the box thats what u get deal with it look from apple. just saying android gives us the customization and personalization no other OS would give us!

What's a boot animation?
















Just kidding.

Its just another customization available to some ableAndroid users. I changed mine a few times (as a see if I could do it...) I also don't reboot often unless Im flashing a lot, so I never see if often either but when I do, it makes a smile. :cool:

Why do people run marathons?
Because they can.

Why do people climb mountains?
Because they can.

Why do people hike through forests?
Because they can.

I think I'm starting to see a pattern here. ;)


All kidding aside..............
as has been said several times, the ability to customize and make it different.

It's kind of like having a chrome differential cover on a low rider.
Very few people will ever see it, but it is special to the owner because he knows he has it.

one thing to remember... these phones are basically computers and should have a soft reset done every now and then to amke sure that memory has been released back to the system. I usually turn off my phone and pull the battery for 30 seconds once a week. you should also be rebooting your PC about once a week or after running a lot of programs as RAM is volatile memory and anything left in RAM is removed during a reboot.

I have to agree with you on this... Could Care less what the phone did at boot up.. Lol. The faster the better. Some really like though, it's an option, so why not use it if you like it. :)

It's just one more thing that people love to customize. For those who do have to reboot their phone often, it's nice to have something you actually want to look at. (Some stock boot animations are rather annoying to watch over and over, lol) Personally, I like to have one that is mostly dark so I don't feel like it's wasting precious battery juice on unnessesary bright colors! lo
