downloaded "becomeroot" from the app installer. 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
