The MI logo when starting the phone.

Of course there are tons of boot animations available.
Here Im putting the mtz file containing Custom MIUI boot screen.
I am NOT talking about boot animation. I am talking about the MI logo at the beginning, with the "powered by" screen
there is a partition called imagefv which can be extracted from the phone or either from a ROM, in it there's all the images from the bootloader(charging animation, locked bl start, unlocked bl start), however the partition appears to be signed with a certificate, so someone who doesn't use their phone as main would need to try it
Well, definitely not me but thanks for that discovery.

Hi, guys, I've got a lil' question: how can i create a boot animation?
thank you very much!
have a look at some of the roms out here (mcr or stock), in /system/media/bootscreen are all the files that are involved with a bootscreen. it's not that hard, if you have specific questions come back.
tip: you need to create an animated gif.
haha i wanna do this now... do i have to have the unlocked spl?
edit*
im so awsome lol i clicked twice by accident and waited a bit and decided that the first one must be done so i clicked stop.. no double post!

the only benefit we have from the unlocked spl is the possibility to alter the splash screen (the first image to appear when you power on the hero), which appears before the bootscreen. the bootscreen itself is part of the rom, so you need either a rooted phone or a custom recovery image (or both, usually goes hand in hand).
Is it possible? Obviously you can flash 'boot.img's but how about flashing splash images? It's always been something I've wanted to try.

honestly, i've found it easier to just flash the splash screens from bootloader mode.

maybe i just prefer the old days. i'm always up for a bit of fastboot and adb. scripts were never really my cup of tea, except of course the necessary ones.

There's a tool called ez splash flasher or something, in the mytouch 4g forums iirc, but you need a 480*800 picture
Or there are some that you can just download and flash using pg32img method in themes and apps

Basically you need a tool to convert an image (BMP) into a specific format (NBIMG) which can be loaded by fastboot to flash into your phone.
You should update your radio too, while you're at it.

The hboot is fine, but I have read reports of users having voice issues on the old Canadian radios.

Hi. I was just wondering if there is a way to add custom sound to bootanimation on CM12 Roms, or any other ROMS for that matter. Please let me know if there is a way.
If I remember the CyanogenMod sound at boot or shutdown lost support because most people never wanted it.
no boot sounds on the nexis 6
Thanks for letting me know.
You could try this old tutorial

that old 5 year old tutorial is for a much older version of android that allowed boot sounds. our nexus doesnt allow boot sounds no matter what you do to it.

This may be way wrong, and im not saying anyone else is, but doesnt the AT&T version have the obnoxious boot sound during the boot animation? I just thought i remember that being a complaint.

oh, good point. but i have no idea
I think it was something in the OEM partition. But I can't tell you. I formatted it
as the title suggests, can we remove that google logo permanently ?
i have rooted it day one, and have flashed a custom ROM on it now, and when i reboot the phone it always pops up before the actual bootanimation, i am new to this phone and any help regarding this would be appreciated, thank you
Well it can be in two places, first is the bootloader, and nobody messes with the bootloader. Another place could be the HW itself, e.g. the GPU, which displays it while the CPU boots. Then you'd need a soldering iron.
So my guess is not.
It's like the Samsung Note text that's on while booting the phone.
It usually is part of the bootloader indeed. On the Nexus 5, they managed to find a way to inject custom images into the bootloader.img to change the logo and even the look of the menus, but I haven't seen anything like that on teh Nexus 6 yet.
Though, it's the best way of producing paperweights, when people play with flashing modified bootloaders. Usually there's no second chance to fix a flub.

well thanks guys, one more thing that confuses me with the nexus 6 is the encryption thing,
what exactly is that? is it similar to the knox thing on Samsung devices ? and what if you remove it ?

Well, there is a tool for the Nexius 5 (https://github.com/NVISO-BE/nexus_5_bootloader_unpacker/), and it's very possible that it can be updated to work with the Nexus 6, but it would surely take a couple of Nexus 6 shaped bricks.

It"s like the windows and linux drive encrpyting, use must use a password to unlock it. In case of the Nexus 6, force encrypt is storing the password on a hidden partition, and uses it to crypt/decript every access. And since it's done in software, all user-data access is 4-5 times slower than if unencrypted. That's why a lot of people disable the encryption, since if your phone is not full of nekkid picturest, who cares if somebody hacks it, and steals it.

try this, at your own risk of course: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/themes-apps/tool-change-splash-screen-various-t3000218
Technically the fastboot command fastboot flash logo <name of file> will change the boot logo. The file you need to flash needs to be the correct resolution and a .bin file, afaik. Of course there is more than just google logo going on there, there are charging animations among other things that will likely get overwritten if you just flash a simple logo, that's why you need to tool I linked to modify the existing logo file.

These were synthetic benchmarks that measured it. You could only notice writes to user-data taking longer if you are saving gigabytes. Normal size pictures and videos are not big enough to sense the difference. Maybe in some 3D games there's a speed-up, but if you only read/write megabytes, you won't notice it.

It's legit. Just use the tool I linked in post #9. I used microsoft paint to edit the images. In this case I modified the white Google logo itself but you could simply replace it with an image of your choosing. It just needs to be in .png format.
