Can i remove the Logo of Magic Mirror In start?
I want to start the magic mirror as fast as possible like power on and boom. The modules can take time but other than that no other extra time for magic mirror to start.
is there a way. -
@postremalone There is an OS to be started first and that takes most of the time. You possibly can optimise that, just google something like “booting raspbian faster”.
Then, if you use pm2 as the manager, from my experience it takes some time until it loads MM. Maybe there is some other faster way, e.g. starting electron directly after the booting process via rc.local -
@postremalone Fastest way to show MM is to have the RPi already running, then simply turn on the the display. Check out this thread here for use with a PIR or other sensor/button. Apparently, because it already draws such little power, there is no desire to implement suspend on RPi.
As for speeding up boot, as @lavolp3 said, the issue is not the logo, but booting the OS. You can strip down the Raspbian boot for speed, but it will never be instantaneous (sub 1 sec). You can apparently get down to 10 seconds with a stripped down distro and Class 10 SD card.
