[TIP] How to make your Android phone boot up faster! - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hey peoples,
Just thought I'd make a quick guide to how to make your Android phone boot up faster without hibernation and 3rd party apps (which don't really help much!)
This is super easy and quick to do.
#################
# Requirements! #
################
A rooted Android phone with root browser or similar app
###############
# Instructions! #
##############
Using root browser, navigate to system -> build.prop. Scroll down to the bottom and enter this line:
Code:
ro.config.hw_quickpoweron=true
Save build.prop and next time you turn your device on it should be considerably faster!
GOOD LUCK!​

Just hit the thanks button, he doesn't bite your finger!

Sounds simple enough. I'll try it out and report back. Thanks for the tip, bud!

you can also disable the boot animation .... this will help a little bit to gain speed....
put this line in build.prop:
debug.sf.nobootanimation=1

I didn't put that in because its common knowledge. However my line is rare.
Your line will help but i personally love boot animations

Are there some services being turned off when I put that line?

The thing to remember with build.prop edits is that they can be hit and miss and as shown in the past some don't seem to do anything at all, they can even have an adverse effect if you don't know what you're doing.

Not to be funny but your line is not rare, pimp my rom has been out for some time and it add the hardware line to build.prop and that line is found in a lot of tweaks I came by ijs.

I tried the other one but I didn't see a significance in boot speed. I'm going to try this one too. I notice my boot animation is the main thing consuming boot time. SO maybe this and the other it should show a difference.
Thanks for the tip!

I tried it and although I miss the boot animation, there was a difference in boot time. Thanks Buddy!:good:

Neither worked for me
Both of those changes didn't work. The boot animation still occurred and my time got slower on the first change.
I have a Galaxy Tab 3 7"

Doesn't work
didn't had any effect at all....

Works!
Both settings are working. Speedup around 25% on my Acer Iconia Tab A701 (CM11-20160612-Nightly-A700)

What does the code really do with our system?
Sent from my ASUS_T00F using Tapatalk

Both codes worked fine on my touchpad.. But didn't speed up boot. Just removed animation.. I went back to original..

This bug is awesome....but how'd it happen...??

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

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.
THE KERNEL IS NOT RELOADING!!!!

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.

Custom Boot Animation Problem

I'm trying to create my own custom animation and the only problem I am having with it is that when the animation first plays it is incredibly slow, but then once it starts to loop it is regular speed. So the first playing of the animation is slow, but then it goes to regular speed once it starts to loop. perhaps someone can look at my zip file and see if I am doing something wrong????
http://www.mediafire.com/?qnwtij1k1dyv24q
the link to my zip file, any help would be great!
I think its because its trying to load he animation while its animated then once it loads it all hen its good... I think that's y Amazons boot logo is such a small file size
Sent from my Kindle Fire using xda premium
could it be that my file sizes are too big, because I've used several custom boot animations with no problem like mine?
That is what I think the problem is

Only difference I see between mine and yours is (obviously) different number of overall frames (mine is 105, yours is 48) and mine runs at 22 FPS while yours is at 30. I THINK I read before that above 28 (don't quote me) can tend to cause issues in playback. Out of curiosity, why did you choose 30 FPS?
Perhaps try decreasing the FPS to like 26 and use it and see how it looks.
I had to try mine like 5x, tweaking the FPS each time, until I got it to play itself out properly and end right when the Kindle is done booting. It seems 30 FPS could be the issue.
Let me know how it goes. I'd test myself but I should have been in bed over an hour ago for work tomorrow lol.
EDIT- I attached mine in case you want to use it for reference.
thanks for your help! I think i finally got it by resizing my pictures and lowering the frame rate. I used 30 fps because several of the guides I read on the internet suggested using that number.
Can you look at this? and tell me what am doing wrong, am totally new at this. mine does not show at all.
http://www.box.com/s/8a75d3848a6728ce3ed1
can you tell me the steps you took to set this as your boot animation
for one, i noticed that you selected 70 fps, that is way to high, try 20 or 25.
This is not my work, I found it and remove some of the artwork using Inpaint ,then put jpgs back on folder. I really don't know exactly what to do. I'll try your advise.
boot animation fix
one way to fix it is put a couple blank pictures before your animation starts, it is run slow because the cpu is doing so much at once and the blank pictures will make it so you dont notice it.
Tried 20 and 25 fps, still no bootanimation.
I'll check yours out when I get home from work.

also check the files. it needs to be a named bootanimation.zip (or it wont be recognized.

GB screen on animation

So, I'm trying to get the GB "screen on" animation working for our ROMS. Ya know, like the screen off animation but opposite? I had it on my CM7 ROM for my droid and liked it.
I figured it should just be a matter of editing the screen enter XML in the framework-res.apk.
So I decompiled both apk's, one from the DROID CM7 rom, and one from the Romulus rom I'm running. Cause I knew that the DROID rom had the animation. However the the XML files are exactly alike after comparing them.
Am I looking in the wrong folder? Wrong XML?
Also need to figure out how to make it a flashable zip after I recompile it. Using apk manager.
Tips anyone? Was up till three last night tearing apart xmls. Would like to work this out for us!

If you are looking for the actual ROM boot animation screen, and not the first Moto screen that is located here:
/system/media/bootanimation.zip
Right now by default on the AT&T phone it is a dripping AT&T logo...
If you want to change the Moto dual core screen or the "breathing" M logo, then good luck with that, that is part of the bootloader itself.
If you are talking about when you hit the power button and turn the screen itself off, then there is going to be more to it than 1 apk. You might want to look at the UI headers and the UI.apks, not the framework-res.apk.
I am just grasping at straws here, since I am in no way a themer, but I do understand the intimate working s of android and ROMs.
You might also try the theme section of the atrix2 forum.

its super easy to change the boot logo too. just create a raw image 540x540 invert blue and green. then save it as logo.bin and flash it with fast boot.

That will not change the dual core M screen though, just the "breathing" M logo... that is an easy one.. the Dual core screen is in the boot image itself I am afraid.
Naw, I've already changed my bootanimation. Got rid of that AT&T crap a while ago lol. No probs with that. And I know that I changed the splash screen on my droid, I pushed it through ADB, but i am assuming that was possible because the DROID's bootloader was unlocked.
Anywho, what I'm looking to change is the actual screen "on" animation for our phones. The animation that happens when you hit the lock button to wake your phone. How the screen comes up. I want it to do the opposite of THIS.
I know it's possible, I just gotta find the right files.

That is why I suggested you take a look at the UI header files and the UI apk files, it is most likely in those, and not the framework files.

Ohhh.. that's the CRT effect... What do you mean by opposite of that? You wanna turn it off? Probably very difficult to change the animation style...
But, to turn it off you'll need to decompile your framework-res and go to /res/values/bools.xml. Change the value for "config_animateScreenLights" to true. That should get rid of it.
Funny, people with other devices are looking to turn CRT effect on.. I actually have no idea what it will do instead of the old tv style off, but let us know if it works.
Edit- wait, just re-read your op.. you wanna give the screen on the crt effect? No idea how one would go about that.. Or maybe what i just wrote will enable that... imma try it out

now I am at a computer and can type a full response... The breathing M logo as you called it is actually part off the default boot animation, which is why it goes away when you change it. the dual core screen is whats called the boot logo and is called by the boot img from the logo.bin "partition" if you will that can be flashed. it is just a raw image with green and red (or maybe green and blue or some other combination) flipped. save that as logo.bin and flash it with fastboot.

OK, I know I've just been rambling to myself basically, but I got it.

Never had to do that before for a bools edit, but oh well... So, anyway, if you change it to "true" it will get rid of that CRT style screen close - it just gently fades away now... and so do I...

Hi,
I have a zoostorm 3305 that I want to get an external 3g dongle working on. After googling I believe i need to root it first, but I'm new to rooting, and not sure what software/drivers i need and where to get them. I would love some help if you have any on offer.

how good are these ?
speed in general
Speed of keyboard popping up when in chrome ?
viewing angles (I totally hate poor viewing angles)
updates
I am more than happy with the speed. Keyboard delay pop-up can sometimes be slow.(its usually when emails are being synced). I improved the touchscreen response by using an app to recalibrate it. I think its hindered by the supplied screen protector.
The only thing I can't do is mobile 3g internet. I think I need to root.
I'm. Awaiting I bit of help from the guru's on this forum.

Not sure if this helps you much. I would recommend one if you don't have the finances for the Samsung Tablets or the ipads.

sounds good
I did have the Gemini JoyTab 9.7 Duo
I RMA'd it cause as soon as you tilted it slightly right the whole right side washed out
it was so bad that even flat direct ahead you could see the start of the right side polarize wash out with what must be only a few degrees off centre
fine all 3 others ways, I though mine my have been faulty till I went in to a staples and checked their display model, exact same issue.

I sent you a PM via YouTube (Sorry), couldn't post on here for some reason but sorted now.
I have never rooted Android (very new to it) and can't find anything solid about rooting Zoostorm Playtab 10" Tablet. I really don't want to brick it.
I was wondering if you may be able to help me as it sounds like you have rooted the Playtab successfully?
Do you have any links to or name of the guide / firmware you used for the root?
Has the root improved the overall performance of you Zoostorm Playtab as mine can often freeze or delay mid use with the stock firmware?
Cheers mate.

I'm new to Tablets so not sure how useful this can be because i havn't used many others but...
speed in general is quite good however it seemed to run faster when it was new and "fresh" but now having since installed more apps, it seems to temporarily freeze mid-use e.g. going through settings tabs, launching apps etc. I often get a "not responding" message and choice to wait or quit. Waiting seems to work but as this is happening more and more, it's a concern and hence why i'm looking to root.
There is sometimes a 1 or 2 sec delay with keyboard popping up (not sure in Chrome, i'm talking general use). Its not a problem for me.
Viewing angles are reasonable to me but you can see it wash out when looking from the sides but I tend to look at it straight on anyway.
To be honest you get what you pay for (currently £114-£120 on Amazon UK / eBuyer) and it's not bad at all, especially if I can figure this freeze issue.
Hope this helps.

I still haven't managed it. Anyone?
Please let me know if you have any luck with it.
Cheers.
i managed to get CWM on it, but there was no ROMs for it, so i flashed another ROM for another tablet which uses the same internals.... guess what... i bricked it lol

Not sure if you sorted it but these tablets are pretty unbrickable as are most RK3066 based tablets, I've done more wipes & reflashes on this tablet than I care to remember.
You can try to flash the original ROM from here - http://downloads.zoostorm.com/drivers/android/PlayTab/
I did manage to flash a build of CyanogenMod 10 based on another RK3066 tablet on this tablet but it wasn't really what you would call stable, it had screen rotation bugs, random reboots plus Wifi wasn't working at all & as I'm not a developer I soon reverted back to stock, for the most part the tablet runs pretty well with it's stock ROM, 3G works well with the PPP Widget app etc.
It was either this one - http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/39750-romgenerickmod-jb41cwmzip-for-pipo-u1max-m11/
Or this one - http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/41777-romcyanogen-10-for-rk3066-wip/
I'm just glad it has a working CWM Recovery & is easy to root

I'm really digging mine too. Most times when opening Dolphin browser or other browsers it will hang for 5-8 secs sometimes. You guys get that? only think that pees me off really.
If we could get it a tad snappier, would be great too!
How do I get flash on this thing?
I've also got the freezing issue occasionally, not sure what causes that.
My main issue at the moment is I can't use "OpenVPN for Android". It claims it can't access /dev/tun so it doesn't work (ticking the box to fix this in CM doesn't work as it's not rooted). Does anyone know of a fix for this?

Freezing is caused by software trying to access root imho. Avoid software that needs root access.

Trick to reduce lag Lg stock Ui

LG Ui is lag we all know, to reduce the lag go to under Developer option scroll down to near bottom under section Hardware Accelerate rendering. enable option: Force hardware rendering, it should make the Ui faster.
doesn't really do anything. I've had this since day 1 and it's still laggy.
I never had any kind of lag on my LG UI = LG G2. G3. V10..and now V20 !!!
By accident I found about LDB/MLT, I turned it off and my phone is much faster now! Google it or have a look here https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.re...ree_up_some_ram_up_to_300mb_and_maybe_gain_a/ for more details.

Tmobile 918 doesn't have Force hardware rendering option in developer setting, also there is no LDB/MLT option in svc menu
Sprint
Never had any lag ever but disabled all services(I fallowed the link) and I got 400mg of ram back
Nevermind ram back to normal so disabling logs didn't do anything

I honestly don't notice any lag on my V20, but this tip, previously posted, also makes the UI a little snappier, and definitely works for h918!

The phone was fast before, but thanks to Phandroid's instructions here, the phone is now blazing fast!!
1. Open Developer options
2. Scroll down select Window animation and choose .5x
3. Select Transition animation and choose .5x
4. Select Animator duration scale and choose .5x

You can turn off all animation if you want. I turn it off on all my phones don't like it.

Of course forcing hardware rendering over software is going to make things snappier. You're using dedicated graphics hardware over CPU algorithms, at the expense of increased power use.

A hidden application installed by LG that tracks specific user information.

There is one way to reduce the lag in an LG phone: Sell it and buy yourself a samsung or a pixel.
I am sick of this lag, and I can't afford to buy a new phone.
I think the LG software team is two teenagers who have no idea what are they doing.
