hi,
i was thinking if there is some way to turn off all boot logo's and make visible kernel log and system log during booting like on regular linux system is...

what do you think?

This is actually hard to do. JF's recovery would just run "dmesg" before starting recovery. If you want a real console, you have to use a serial cable or something like mtdoops AFAIK.

I second.

Since day one, the splash screen during boot has annoyed the hell out of me. I have to turn it on and walk away for a few minutes just to keep my blood pressure level at normal. Any device that takes more than 5-10 seconds to boot just has to have a verbose option in my book.

You can count me among the people who'd love to see this.
I wonder if we can figure out a way to make this happen?
It doesn't look hopeful if cyanogen says it's difficult, lol.

as far as it may seems a useless feature, I will welcome it very much too.
I like to see what's going on, at boot time.
It's something I hate on Win and Mac.

So here it is another vote for it!

I would like it as well. For me doing an "adb -d logcat" or "adb -d logcat |tee log.txt" in a shell on bootup is fine though. Usually I only care right after flashing or if my phone is having problems. When the phone is having problems pushing it to a file on my computer is better than seeing it on the screen anyway.
