Feature request - boot animation

Major_Ghost

With the growing media coverage of grapheneOS and the possible negative connotation surrounding the OS especially in regards to law enforcement agencies. I would like to request a feature that allows one the choice to switch back to the original boot animation shipped with the stock OS in order for one to remain inconspicuous of the true installed OS. (I understand that the Yellow state message will remain persistent without modifications to the boot.img) Please drop your thoughts I'm curious :V

I don't care what law enforcement agencies and others could think about it, it's my device, my rules, my OS.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it... until it is.

Major_Ghost This is not a good trick because even if you did, if a competent LE held your device they can power off and turn on Fastboot in an attempt to see anything they can extract and would immediately notice GrapheneOS being installed due to it using a unique bootloader, and even if you restarted your phone, because the GrapheneOS project requires phones to display the SHA256 Verified Boot hash in full, they would know it is not stock. You gain nothing from this change.

Major_Ghost A web search for site:discuss.grapheneos.org boot animation will turn up multiple threads about this, some quite long.

Based on official responses over time, users for whom this is important will need to build their own fork of GrapheneOS.
