Disable splashscreen - BOOTLOGO disabled First off all I must start by saying that I am not an Android Expert.

I Have some android TV box ( not a phone ) which is of some unknown third party chinese vendor . it is already rooted .

I need to personalize it as much as I can, and I have already made the wallpapers, launcher, and bootanimation

The only thing I have left (and the most annoying one ) is the splash screen.

Now, I have read a lot of posts / articles about it , and I even made a rgb656 .img file, but the whole process is very complicated ( and potentially dangerous ).
So now all i want is to totally disable it .

I opened init.ec and there I saw :

...

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH /vendor/lib:system/lib
export ANDROID_BOOTLOGO 1
export ANDROID_ROOT /system

....


So I wonder , does changing the ANDROID_BOOTLOGO 1 to ANDROID_BOOTLOGO 0 will disable the splashscreen ?

Is there any other easy way of doing it ?
Any advice ?
(If you can avoid answers like "try and see" - I am afraid to brick it ..
I don't know if boot_logo = splash_screen in Chinese ;) But I'd say give it a try. I cannot see any reason that it should &quot;brick&quot; anything (while changing one of the other two settings certainly have the potential, this one is not very likely to do so).
As a reference, see this XDA Developers thread which is dealing with that issue:

From what I understand, you need to change the init.rc file in \
setprop ro.kernel.android.bootanim 0
setprop debug.sf.nobootanimation 1
or simply change export ANDROID_BOOTLOGO 1 to export ANDROID_BOOTLOGO 0 also in init.rc
However, all changes to init.rc are gone after restarting the phone....

Which brings up another information: It's very likely that your init.rc resides on a RAM disk, so those changes will have no effect at all. In that case, you would have to modify the boot image (boot.img). I never did that, but this carries potential to entirely brick it (as it happened to the guy in the linked XDA thread, by the way).
