Is the robot a customisation? I've never seen it on any STE build, just the ST-E logo followed by the animated 'android' word-logo.

On Other hardware's e.g: iMX53 - proper Android Logo can be seen while bootup, while for SNowball only "Android" text appears while bootup.

Saw the robot briefly this morning on snowball-staging-11.10, but it was quickly replaced by the word-logo. I'd guess we don't see it because it disappears before the HDMI has been initialised.

In 2012.04 image and in linaro_android_4.0.4 (2nd of May) initlogo.rle ("Green robot") is not included in (e)mmc.
I tested this by adding adding logo to product definition file but logo is never seen most probably because frame buffer is not available during early boot up and HDMI driver (av8100) is initialized so late.

ICS is no longer supported. There is android animation on JB. Closing.
