Technical question: Is there still an shutdown animation in #Android P?
Would it be great if someone from the #Android core team could answer? cc @davey_burke @chethaase @hackbod @romainguy 1/7

In BootAnimation.cpp they clearly refers to a shutdownanimation zip file which is used when the property sys.powerctl is not empty 2/7 http://androidxref.com/8.0.0_r4/xref/frameworks/base/cmds/bootanimation/BootAnimation.cpp#338 …pic.twitter.com/aRASws7BM7

However, the documentation is only talking about the boot animation 3/7 http://androidxref.com/8.0.0_r4/xref/frameworks/base/cmds/bootanimation/FORMAT.md …pic.twitter.com/jLzbCzFU93

I followed the documentation and pushed my shutdownanimation zip file to the correct place but it's not working. 4/7

I also tested on different phones with the latest Android version and there is no real shutdown animation. There is a progress dialog saying "Shutdown in progress..." or "Restart in progress..." 5/7

This progress dialog is created by the ShutdownThread 6/7 http://androidxref.com/8.0.0_r4/xref/frameworks/base/services/core/java/com/android/server/power/ShutdownThread.java#308 …pic.twitter.com/lVCbvQVXjq

My conclusion is that shutdown animation is no more supported in Android. Maybe I missed something, someone can confirm it? 7/7

shutdown anim support is still in the master branch, so I guess it's "YABFIA" (Yet Another Broken Feature In Aosp)
