Is there any method by which we could get the system information before booting android OS.

Like wise in PC/laptop, we can get into BIOS setting before booting and get the system information. Do Android devices have such thing?

If yes, how can I go through before booting? Is there BIOS like setup in android? Shed some light.

Can you state what you want to achieve? Just see that information, or adjust something -- on every boot, occasionally -- and if, what to change? This would allow for a more precise answer. – Izzy Nov 19 '12 at 12:36

There is no BIOS type thing in Android, although there is the Logcat and DMESG.

There is an app on Google Play that allows you to change your boot animation to show you the live logcat as your device boots.

If you want the System Info, as per your question, you would just have to Google your device, or use a site such as GSM Arena to lookup your devices hardware.

Is there any thing which install before installing OS like in PC system i.e BIOS. If we have to install other OS in mobile how it detect it. – i_max 77 Nov 28 '12 at 12:41
