Removing ANDROID Text Banner at boot-up

Ron Olson
Intellectual 680 points

When I boot Android, I see

  1. the Android Robot (or at least part of him/her)
  2. a text banner spelling out 'ANDROID' with a white wave repeatedly passing across it
  3. the Android home screen.

This is with an Android 2.3.4 Rel 2.1 build I made from source, using TI_Android_GingerBread_2_3_4Sources.tar.gz. 
The hardware is AM3517EVM.

I need to replace the Android Robot with my own image, and believe I know how to do that.

I also need to remove the 'ANDROID' text banner, and preferably replace it with my own image.
Can anyone tell me how to remove that banner? 
Leaving the image showing that I'm replacing the Android Robot with in the first step would be fine.

If this question has nothing to do with the TI distribution I'm using, and is better asked in a more general Android forum, let me know and I'll try that.

Thanks,
Ron

    That is right, the banner is nothing to do with the TI distribution, it comes with the vanilla Android from Google. I think it is something called bootup animation. I believe you should find tons of information about it if search on Internet.

    As Bin pointed out correctly, Android Logo and Banner comes from vanilla AOSP.

    You will find the Logo related code at system/core/init/logo.c in AOSP.
    Android banner is triggered by SurfaceFlinger service startup routine but I'm not sure about the exact code location.
