/sbin/bootanimation.sh is run from init.rc ...

What does happen if you reboot ? You still get a custom bootanimation ? In that case, try deleting /system/media/bootanimation.zip and/or /data/local/bootanimation.zip .

Otherwise, likely you can manually rename /system/bin/bootanim to bootanim.backup and symlink bootanim to boot-dmesg .

I'm sorry if this isn't the correct place to ask this, but have you had any success running this on a Bionic? I'm rooted and have made system r/w, which is what the program says is required. The text doesn't display correctly, but turns into a jagged mess of text across the screen. I'll take a picture if need be.

Live Dmesg

Not entirely sure if someone posted this but installing live dmesg on an Optimus 3D makes the display lock up. The only way to restore this so far is to adb shell into the phone and copying the bootanimation.backup back.

Shame tho, would have loved to see the phone boot up.

no plans to nag you endless with that, but there are still *a lot* of devices out there with lower screen resolutions - therefore just for clarification: does that mean

"it won't work for QVGA" as in "never and by noone"

or "I hate ppl with small screens"

or "you didn't yell 'me too' loud enough"

This worked on my original transformer perfectly, ended up purchasing both.

However, since then I've bought the transformer prime and it no longer works. I'm guessing it's due to ice cream sandwich - is there any way of fixing this? I want to see logcat zoom by on tegra 3 :\
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Probably can't fix it until I have a Tegra3 myself. What exactly happens? Do you just get a black screen, or the original boot animation as usual?
[Android Apps and Games] ickk:
black screen (no bootanimation).

Do you think it's tegra 3 specific? I updated to ics immediately, but I might try flashing a honeycomb rom. Modern Combat 3 didn't work on ics but some users said it worked on honeycomb - perhaps the same problem?

I'll head over to the tf101 forum to check if it's working for them on ics, my tf101 is rma'd atm.

I can confirm that it fails in the same way with the original TF101 with the OTA ICS update. I saw a colored logcat for less than a second then black screen. Upon boot completion I was at the standard ring lock screen so no harm, my Transformer runs fine just complete black screen during boot.

It'd be great if this was working for the Transformers.

3. Download to the phone "ROM Manager" and run "install ROM from SD Card"

4. Install new rom in recovery mode (bin files/roms doesn't work)

Boot look on HTC Desire Z with CM9

Hey. I just installed this, and all it does it boot loops. My rom is an ICS rom based off of CM9. In android I had disabled the boot animation first. I then installed the "lite" version of this, started it, it asked me for root, and I granted, and continued to activate it. Now it just boot loops for me.

I can get into recovery, and get an adb shell, but that's about it. Is there any way I can forcibly uninstall this from recovery/shell?

[Android Apps and Games] eventcom:
I've discovered that already some time ago - doesn't look very nice on the Wildfire. The dev says LDPI support too much work/hassle - sorry to say that :(

There are a few threads regarding the topic - but almost all froze after this app has been developed. Due to the fact that there aren't many LDPI devices anymore we won't have any luck with it I guess. Although it initially sounds logical that a Linux based OS should be able to print out a logcat / dmesg on boot it seems not to be that easy on Android.
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Believe it or not, I just updated live dmesg (and lite) and live logcat (and lite) to v3.0 on Google Play. Includes numerous crash fixes, ICS and Jelly Bean specific fixes, input fixes, etc. Tested it on some new devices as well (SGS3, Nexus7).

As always, it may take Google Play a few hours to update, so make it says v3.0 !

Unfortunately it's still not working for LG O2X, running the current CM7 nightly with the current etana kernel. After installing, a reboot simply shows the LG logo all the way instead of the boot animation or the live dmesg/logcat.

Great App Chainfire, bought the "pro" version.

Quick note for anyone using Syah Kernel (at least on SGS3) make sure the Enable Andorid Logging option is checked in the Misc panel (in either EXtweaks or Stweaks), i know it sounds obvious but it took me three reboots to figure out why the log was empty and not showing anything.

Hey Chainfire, I've had this app since its creation and to this day it's still on of my faves.

Just wondering, is it possible to force a message to be displayed in dmesg during the bootup sequence? I'd like to have it like Tony Stark in Iron Man where the terminal says "Welcome Tony Stark" when he logs into the terminal. Just an extra little flashy feature that would be cool.

[Android Apps and Games] tobbbie:
demsg seems to backup the old animation to <name>.demsg. So just search for a file <name>.demsg and rename it to just <name> then your old animation is back. As animation is not vital you can also boot without the animation (I guess - never did it).
[Android Apps and Games] Deadly:
yes, you can boot without animation.. I have done it..

black screen inspire/desire

Hey chainfire, just bought your app, dmesg, its great.

I used the lite version a lot and decided to go paid version, however, upon updating my rom, live dmesg is now just a black screen.

This is my info:

HTC Inspire 4G

ICS 4.0.4 (aospX 1.0.0-MR1 | IMM76L)

2.6.35-aospx-mint_chocolate (ICS TalonACE kernel)

live dmesg v3.0

I looked through this thread and found no suitable solution.

I'm trying to see if its the init.rc, I understand /system/bin/bootanimation is a sh script pointing to boot-dmesg so maybe a permission issue?

I might be changing ROM, but this is my daily driver, so any help would be appreciated.
