is "bootsplash" an official word for this type of intro video?

EDIT: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootsplash

Perhaps we should name it something more userfriendly like; "Manage welcome screens", bootsplash has a geeky ring to it.

Andreas Klapper has suggested the word Bootscreen. I vote for "Bootscreen" only in controlpanel.

If a Moderator sees this maybe this thread could be moved to Brainstorm forum. And change the topic on this to "BRAINSTORM: Set bootscreen video... Easier." ..

How about "Boot animation"?

we did it on the N770, N800, and N810 - I doubt Nokia is going to have a problem with this on the N900

I'm not sure what you mean. We don't need their permission to do this, do we?

Sounds good. B-man likes it too

I don't know if Nokia cares about this. Their nokia tune and logo combo sure is distinct on a bus or train but making users happy with their newborn child (or whatever) video welcoming on power on is far more important, I think..

Could this project go into a SSU if it turns out great? (I don't think this is such an important feature perhaps for nokia, but other community built stuff might be)

The Nokia name is on the product, so there's no mistaken identity caused by a changed bootimation.

I never heard the official sentiment on this one way or another, but consider:

1) It can be done
2) No lawsuits or cease-and-desist orders
