I seem to ask allot of question where no one knows an answer too lets see if i can do it again.

i have the following question.

i just replaced my startup_nokia_logo.png for this one:

(see attachments)

i replaced it in the this dir: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon/

Now it only shows when i shut down the n900. not when i fire it up.

then i still get the dull nokia logo. is there a way to manage this?

THis way only works on shutdown screen!

but is there a way to show it up on boot?

push ^^

interesting Thread : )

Push again! ^^

That Nokia logo is the last thing left that graphically reminds me I'm using a Nokia product, and I'd like to get rid of it! (Love Maemo, hate Nokia).

Is it possible to change it at startup as well, or is it hard-coded somehow?

I've noticed the modified startup_nokia_logo will show up after the Nokia logo when starting the device with charger attached. But clearly the original image does still reside somewhere else. The question is if you're able to get to it. But in 20 months nobody has been able to answer that.

The "NOKIA" boot logo is part of NOLO.
And I assume the white background is somewhere in NOLO code too. I have to check uboot to see how it sets the screen black, and that can probably be injected as a JMP in NOLO before it prints the NOKIA logo.

Don't you know that girls won't be available when you fire it up?

As Hurrian said and I completely agree, that nokia logo is part of the NOLO. Someone has hacked that nokia logo to do fancy colours and to not really show nokia logo but instead bars. However it seems like the person behind it lost interest or whatever and so the project is stalled as it is.

To put it bluntly, you can hack the nokia logo screen, but the hack that's currently available does not allow you to put up images of your choice let alone words of your choice.

I beleive there was a post a while ago from some Russian dude, who got into NOLO thing, and actually did some stuff to it, don't remember who and what that was though...
