So recently i've been getting this bug, where CM6 skips the boot screen entirely and goes directly to the mod (meaning around a 10 second boot for me) Although this is awesome, why is my phone doing this? Should I be worried that this happens?
Call me daft, but this sounds like its soft rebooting?
No he means it's going from the Splash Screen to the Lock Screen. I think that's a good thing. You posting in the wrong section is a bad thing.
YES, I can kind of see how this is a bit .00002% dev related, but yea sorry buddy.
Wait wat
You mean that when you totally turn off your device, press POWER and wait 10 sec you can use your phone?
Kinda makes sense... Sounds to me like the boot animation is none existent...
I wonder if you remove it completely from ones phone, could we duplicate this...
I'd love to have a 10 seconds phone!
This is also happening with mine, just today the phn rebooted and to my surprise in about 15 seconds i was on the lock screen again and was able to make a call without any problem. Sweeet.

Can you run a nandroid and upload it? I'd love to recreate this. It sounds like its only a kernel crash though.
yea this has happened to me as well when i was on a nightly that came out after RC2. i just went with it.
how about a logcat after it boots? im sure someone could make sense of it

Link not working for me
Very cool if true. Definitely not a soft boot disguised as a hard boot (no link) by CM6 ? I could skip the (boot) fireworks any day.
Regards, PK
I was just doing some poking around inside CM6 and found this inside:
/system/etc/init.goldfish.sh
Code:
# disable boot animation for a faster boot sequence when needed
boot_anim=`getprop ro.kernel.android.bootanim`
case "$boot_anim" in
0) setprop debug.sf.nobootanimation 1
;;
esac
Not sure if relevant, but here you go.
ok....I changed it.....no difference

Dev's can choose to have a boot animation or not.
Dev's might be able to find a way to speed up boot.
Dev's might decide to change the boot more.
Yeah...I can see how this is only ".00002%" relevant.

I will personally guarantee that it is NOT booting in 10 seconds. What it is happening is this; very low memory error -- either system_server or acore or binder (I forget which one it is....) gets killed, so it goes back to the glowing "X" for a moment while it reloads.

I have a less sophisticated, seat of the pants, take on Icoders declarative… intuition. If it sounds to good to be true… (it is) As neat as it would be if it were true, It seems highly unlikely that with the hundreds of coders spending trillions of hours poring over the code, that this little gem could have been missed.
With that said, what a nice bit of “discovery” and provocation. Bears fruit in my travels sometimes.

I've been working on a flashlight app for non-rooted phones. I have been able to recreate the one that costs $0.99 (I think? I'm not exactly sure, I don't own it.). Sadly, I have the same flaw. I can't get it to exit correctly, so you have to reboot. I'm still working on it, and haven't quite given up (although I think I have concluded this exploits a higher level bug that I just can't control).
6/17/10 - I think I've concluded there is no way to shut it off. I believe this is a bug in the camera software that allows this to happen. A method just hangs forever. (All of this is I think ) Sorry guys, you probably wont see anything better (w/o root).

Woo hoo, at least one person likes it! I've only gotten put down or no replies elsewhere. haha
I know this isn't fantastic or anything, but it's better than nothing in my eyes.
anything that helps the community is always appreciated. So ty very mucho
Yea I tried the same thing. Stuck at the exact same problem.
I am by no means an expert Android dev, but I have tons of .NET experience. I used the example in the SDK, then just added the parameters to turn on the LED when taking a picture. Then it freezes and it goes to hell from there.
I tried threading/etc. No luck, I stopped working on it. Plus now there is the root, so why not just do that and use the Lamppu Application.
Thanks for trying anyways
That's exactly where I am! takePicture just freezes after a few pictures I believe. I also tried threading, no luck.
But I don't have .NET experience, I'm just a noob.
Yeah, I know now there's root Lamppu is better, but I'm personally not rooted. I figured I'd just release it because no one else has except the guy who is trying to sell it... which is just rude lol.
werd ~!~ 10 more
thanks for trying on the app though! it just confirms that I need to get root on me phone! I dont know why ppl would bash your for contributing..fail/succeed..we all benefit. It's only from attempts that we learn how things work..im sure anyone in root dev can confirm that!
The screen on my tablet becomes insensitive in certain areas, requires hard presses or doesn't respond at all. Funny thing is the problem seems to go away after about 30 min of use but returns if the screen is locked and unlocked. Anyone having similar issues or a fix? Currently running vegantab beta 4 but had same problems with tnt lite.
EDIT: this is the exact issue I have although this is not my video
www DOT youtube DOT com SLASH watch?v=-Uhwpn3buzQ
Search for Calibration Fix in these forums. Depending on which ROM you are running, you can either create an empty file named calibration.ini file and put it at the root of your /sdcard or /sdcard2 and reboot. that seems to fix the issue for many people.
Thanks for the help! That fixed my issue.
im having the same issue. but this fix is not fixing the problem, unless i am doing something wrong. I am using the vegan rom.
I've used astro to create a new zip file called calibration.ini
but not working....am i doing something wrong the way I am making the .ini file? If so what is the correct way. (sorry if I am sounding completly stupid, I'm actually computer literate lol)
Is there another way to calibrate the screen?
I'd create the calibration.ini file on BOTH /sdcard and /sdcard2, then power off/on, not touching the screen, since there's apparently a hacked version of the calibration program, just to be sure.
have already tried that to no avail lol

Hi,
Sorry, didn't read your post carefuuly enough. Did you say you created a *ZIP* file?
Should be just an empty file, with filename all lowercase.

You can probably use ES File Explorer. Use that and browse to /sdcard. Click menu icon (the 4 lines icon), then New on bottom, then file, and type the 'calibration.ini' for file name. Do same for /sdcard2.
Power off, then on.
After completely on, use File Explorer again, to delete those files, otherwise it'll try calibrate every boot.

My understanding is that the calibration apparently runs once when you power up, if it finds that calibration.ini file. No prompts or visible display.

It doesn't do anything different that you'll see at start-up. Make sure you let it sit for a minute after it starts so you don't mess it up.

How do you calibrate a touchscreen without registering touchpoints? Hmm. Interesting. I guess I should try this since people report it working. I don't have a problem when holding it landscape, but in portrait mode unless I'm reading an e-book, I find myself having to pay attention to touching buttons.

Well, I've certainly seen other touchscreens that do more sophisticated calibrations. Nonetheless, this seems to calibrate the un-touched state and it seems to achieve good enough results that everybody I've seen who's tried it with touchscreen sensitivity issues, issues with pinch-and-zoom, issues with soft keyboard keys in certain areas of the screen and so on, has posted that it fixed the issues for them.
Do not touch the screen while the tablet is booting. Wait for it to completely boot. The calibration process will pick up your touch, and interfere with the calibration process. I noticed today I picked it up and carried it across the room while booting the the screen was totally unresponsive. I have never noticed that problem ever before (I am old fashioned and still running 2.00 with the calibration hack added). When I rebooted it was fine and I remembered the developers for my Odroid T has said the same thing while they were working on a better screen calibration routine on boot.

I think I may have a few HW fixes, but not sure yet. Could be a boot loop. Lets find out!
Btw to all who use this: When you hit shutdown, but your going into HBOOT for Recovery, make sure to take the battery out before you try. It tends to try to Hot Restart itself when you dont take the battery out.
mine shutsdown fine
i have hibernate mode off though

Ill whip up a flashable zip if i can get it going.... with that though just root explorer into //system/media replacing the old one and setting the permissions to match. Or absolute system tools will get you there too. Just find //sdcard/goodies/bootanimations and place the zip into another folder. Fire up ast and select downloaded boot animations and it will find it and let you install..

Sorry for the delay guys. Must admit it wasn't till I did a cache wipe I noticed the issue. I'm on to it though and I think I know how to fix. Stay tuned.
@anyone. I can't get the audio to work. Ran a script I found in another animation that puts sound onto cm7 of some variation but it just doesn't work for me on overcome. I've tried a couple things with no joy but I wasn't sure if mp3 would be compatible as the other notifications are all ogg. At any rate ill tweak it to loop till boot is finished but if anyone knows something I don't about getting the audio please don't be shy. Lol. Absolutely no expert or even anything more than a tinkerer with good fortune for the most part so any advice or help is (usually) welcome... ;-)
K this new one loops at least. Will try a couple more things on the audio but no promises sorry.

Sorted. Pop this (Power_on.ogg don't rename or capitalize) in //ect/ and set permissions to rwxr-xr-x and its all good.. oh and may as well update the boot animation in //system/media as iv add a smoother loop and a small delay to get Audio lined up close. Flushable zip if i can get to my pc before midnight...
fingers crossed it works for everyone else too but for reference im on Icarus atm....

Installing a theme causes a bunch of lag during the install process itself (under the covers there are like 20 apks getting installed). I've always applied themes right after installing them, so any for any lag after that it's hard to say if it's left over from the install or is from the application. In any case, after a reboot I haven't noticed any lag.
