Re: Show off you Startup Screen!
 
Thanks a lot for the background. Indeed it blends in great with one of the stock blue backgrounds such as Felicia.

BTW, is it possible to change the background on the device using the command line?

Re: Show off you Startup Screen!
 
Too bad.

Its true; this would greatly enhance some nice possibilities to do on the tablet.

On GNOME you can select a XML. In the XML you can define various things, such as your location (to load a background related to the location, or a map of the location), a (favourite) person who lives near there, you can select a background based on the time or weather (so it blends in with the environment). Or just at random.

In E17 you can even have a moving background.

How should such be achieved in Maemo? Via DBus?

That caption has been in my head ever since someone said that the picture was creepy, I looked at it again trying to see what was creepy about it...

Re: Show off you Startup Screen!
 
Haha, never thought about the Nokia hands in that sense. Always looked like a "human touch". But just goes to show in changing times how the "human touch" can get re-interpreted.
That caption did give me a good laugh.

Yes, but you were the first to distill the nebulous "NOKIA=pedobear" concept into a specific form; while I'm no good at such creative work, I'm quite happy to spend 15 minutes implementing it. Just wanted to give credit for the plan where it's due.

Not only a specific form, but a plan, a concept and scenario!

Might not be credit that qole ever wanted :rolleyes:

Just kidding qole :D

Thanks Benson. Now any chance of me getting hired by Nokia has just been lost.

"Oh, you're the guy who said we're a bunch of pedophiles, eh? Get lost!"

<slam!>

See?
Yet you seem to take glee in making the photo more explicit by adding verbiage to the photo...finding humor in paedophilia speaks volumes as to an individual's character.

What language does it speak?

I found it humorous... does that make me into something?

I also like chicken jokes... does that make me a farmer or suttin'?

Question:
Why did the chicken cross the road?

Answer:
To get to the candy I keep in my van. :)

As a father myself, I find no humour in paedophilia. That wasn't the source of humour here.

I'm sorry that my sense of humour offended you.
Please refrain from making personal attacks.

You don't have to agree with the point or related reality of a joke to laugh at it. It saddens me people require a pub or alcohol to become happy or get laid yet I laughed at "Vodka - Connecting People".

Perhaps you should throw a chair through the room next time ;)

BTW I noticed on my S60 phone the picture is animated and forms the hands become bonded. Yet, the backlight is very low during boot. This saves battery power. Ironically, the N8x0 don't do this.

I've done this on the 770 and the N810, so I have no reason to think it would be different on the N800.

Open xTerm, become root, and navigate to the following folder:
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon/

The file names are:
qgn_indi_startup_nokia_logo.png (800x480)
qgn_indi_nokia_hands.jpg (800x480)
qgn_indi_progressbar.png (24x16)

Backup the originals (I just added "_backup" to the end of the filenames), then copy your new images over the originals and reboot.

If you want to change the progress bar, it may help to know this:
The image is 24 pixels wide. It will display the first 8 pixels, then the middle 8 pixels over and over (98 times total), then the last 8 pixels. It took me several tries to get this right, so I'll save you the effort of trial and error.

Hope this helps all who want to try this.
Thanks, great and simple instructions. No more gddamn hands :)

EDIT: My new image that shows during the bootup is now:

Ouroboros background (from the TV series Millennium). Looks nice when backlight brightens during the boot. I also use the same picture as qgn_indi_startup_nokia_logo.png. See also the matching statusbar.

Re: Show off you Startup Screen!
 
I tried to replace the start up picture inN900 but the old Nokia picture remained when I rebooted...Even if I replaced the pictures :mad:
Is there another procedure for the N900 ??

Then I just open the web brower and put a "/" for the url. Then naviagated to
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon/

I held down the pointer and did a save as on the following files...

qgn_indi_startup_nokia_logo.png (800x480)
qgn_indi_nokia_hands.jpg (800x480)
qgn_indi_progressbar.png (24x16)

... and save them to an SDcard.

I copyed then on to the desktop computer , I made two copies one was for a backup.
The other copy I pasted in new pictures using MsPaint and save them back on to the SDcard with the same file name, and I keep the picture the same size.

Once I replaced the SDcard I open "Xterm". I switch to root....

sudo gainroot

...then I change to the directory the files live in...

cd /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon/

Next I deleted the old copies from that directory...

rm *nokia_hands.jpg
rm *startup_nokia_logo.png

(only did those two pictures)

After that I change in xterm back to the directory with the new picture on them....

cd /media/mmc1/

(the location for the SDcards are mmc1 or mmc2)

then the new files were copied were the old ones lived...

cp *nokia_hands.jpg /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon/
cp *startup_nokia_logo.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon/

Then I restarted the N800.


What would nice is if one the devolper who live here would write an app to all the above for ya.
Hint..hint..wink..wink
I can probably come up with some shell script to do it. Let me work on it.

Re: Show off you Startup Screen!
 
N900 splashscreen still remains after changing it?
anyone know why, it must also be somewhere else that we dont have access to, is there anyway to hack the n900 to get access to the real splashscreen

Ok, I've made one just now after reading this thread. It's clean and minimal.

Nice! Thanks..

A quick derivative.

Small Fix: I'd noticed I had used a height of 400 instead of 480. Duh! Fixed it on both images.

don't think so.
on the n900 you're only able to change the boot-video and the turn-off image till now.
maybe someone will find a way to edit/change the bootup image :)

Actually perfect in length. Nokia default bootup video is too short imo. After my video finished playing...it shows the desktop!
