Is there a way to pass such system props through a kernel cmdline magic in a debug build? In this way we can avoid hacking such tweaks into the build, but rather enable testers etc. to do that on their side...
I am not aware of any way to pass this through kernel cmdline to the system,It can be done by adding support for this feature. One way is to extend l-a-m-c tool to support adding system properties.The only alternative I see is the user himself runs "setprop debug.sf.nobootanimation 1" as soon as he reaches the console needs to be done at first boot only.

Hi Dave,
One way to hack it so it never starts is just to rename the
bootanimation executable in /system/bin.
I just tried it and my Android boots in a reported 2m or so, about 5
minutes of real time. You get a line like this in the boot output but there are no apparent ill-effects.
[ 14.863680] init: cannot find '/system/bin/bootanimation',
disabling 'bootanim'
Hmmm, simple but effective...
Thanks for the suggestion.
---Dave
Incidentally, if you just remove the service definition you get a notification from init each time something tries to start and stop the service - so you can kind of see when boot starts and stops from the output. I have no idea what is trying to start/stop bootanim though :)
