Prolong Android Bootanimation/ Boot video

dewet

Hi

Is it possible to make the Android Bootanimation play longer than 3-5 seconds before booting to the homescreen?

"BootAnimation: Adding boot video capabilities, default /system/media/boot.mp4 (BOOTVIDEO_FILE change the format can be modified), supportmp4, wmv and other mainstream formats"

RK3288 devices now also support mp4 boot.mp4 video as boot video.

This also plays for 3-5 seconds before booting to Android Homescreen.

Even tried to write a script in boot.img, init.rc for sleep 10 but it only makes the screen black for 10 seconds and not bootanimation/video play longer for eg 10-15 seconds.

Even tried in init.rc

Code:

1. service bootanim /system/bin/bootanimation
   
2.     start delay
   
3.     class main
   
4.     user graphics
   
5.     group graphics
   
6.     disabled
   
7.     oneshot
   
8. 
   
9. 
   
10. service delay /system/bin/sh /system/bin/delay.sh
    
11.     class main
    
12.     user root
    
13.     group root
    
14.     disable
    
15.     oneshot

Copy the code

and make a script in system/bin called delay.sh.
delay.sh is a script, sleep 10 for 10 seconds,

Hi, Dewet,

Plz check "frameworks/native/services/surfaceflinger/SurfaceFlinger.cpp"

Function SurfaceFlinger::bootFinished()  is used to terminate boot animation.

BTW, I cannot see this commit:

"BootAnimation: Adding boot video capabilities, default /system/media/boot.mp4 (BOOTVIDEO_FILE change the format can be modified), supportmp4, wmv and other mainstreamformats"

You should also check BootAnimaition source code in framework/base/cmds/bootanimation/ , to see its exit logic.

Hi

It was actually in Nagrace NT-V6 firmware the boot.mp4 video bootanimation, here is the commit

2014-12-30   e296bf9 Android->BootAnimation:添加开机视频功能，默认为/system/media/boot.mp4(可修改BOOTVIDEO_FILE改变格式),支持mp4,wmv等主流格式

Maybe it can also be implemented in Firefly firmware and boot-time increased to 15 seconds for bootanimation/video to play longer.

Or a setting in build.prop or Android Settings menu to increase/reduce boot-time so that it plays your own bootanimation/video longer/shorter.
