You can change startup_nokia_logo.png to anything you want and sometimes you will see it at start-up and sometimes you won't.

You will however, always see the NOKIA boot screen though as I now believe it is in low level code real close to the hardware. Much like the System Logo and BIOS screens are on your desktop.

startup_nokia_logo.png is actually the shutdown splash, and it NEVER shows at startup, because its not the startup image!
(nokia trying to trick us i suppose!):D

and i was told i will ALWAYS see the nokia logo on other N series devices, but i still showed the world different on that bro!

i did find a way to remove the shutdown splash by editing an ELF image file, (i know it can be changed by replacing the image in icons)
but i dont want to replace the image i want to tell the device to look elsewhere for it, it didnt work, instead it removed it, there is also reference to the startup splash but i worry that changing that would cause phone to fail to boot, thats why i tested this method on the shutdown splash,
point is that there is reference to system/systemui in this file, and thats where i want access to

@yodude, good for you? hope you dont think im blowing my own trumpet here, im not, i just cant accept anyone saying 'its not possible to change it' regardless of how deep in the system the splash is, the doubters all said it before but eventually someone wrote a program that allowed it to be possible

the n95 info:
http://www.ipmart-forum.com/showthre...t=splashscreen

basically 'wadowice' released a test program that allowed rompatcher to load patches as the 3rd bootup process (before the splash was loaded)
so i wrote a patch that told the device to look elsewhere for the splash

-------------------------------------------

the n97 info:
http://www.symbian-freak.com/forum/v...hp?f=6&t=38613
wadowices original program progressed into c2z4bin version6, this time i edited the splashscreen.exe file directly as c2z4bin now allowed any executable file to be loaded from driveC as long as the original was on driveZ, checksums are irrelevant as the file always stays the same size, although i did get round checksums later when i started adding more text to the R01 language files,
that info here:
http://www.ipmart-forum.com/showthre...ight=add+inbox

the n97 splashscreen.exe was a bit harder as the nokia programmers seem to have tried to hide the location string,
the n95 location string was never hidden like this, it just clearly said 'z/resource/apps'
compated to the n97 file that said 'Z.:ùP.3L.AùHùC.R.E.E.N.3..M.I.F'
but it was still just a case of changing Z to C

@f2thank
to remove the n900 shutdown splash screen i edited splashscreen-util
from usr/bin
changed this:

to this:
http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/7020/36783455.png

i never fully tested this so it may be buggy, but it stopped any shutdown image from showing

i thought the string above this, /system/systemui/splash/bootup_image
controls the startup screen, but was worried about trying to change it incase phone didnt boot up, in the end i still tried it and nothing happened, when trying to change the n95 splash i came across lots of files like this that seem to be pretending to point to it but dont,
so theres a file somewhere else telling the device to look for /system/systemui/splash/bootup_image

and i think its in /system/systemui/
but nokia has that location locked away from us
this is why we need a hack to gain access
i seem to remember reading that the n900 is only 80% open source, and i think we have a right to access to the other 20%!

It won't help you, however.

The splash screen you're talking about is not displayed by SystemUI on the N900, but by the bootloader, NOLO. It could be possible to hack the bootloader (certainly not by me, lol) but it hasn't been accomplished yet, AFAIK.

You were able to hex-edit a file to get it to load the resource file from another location on your Symbian phone. Messed up? Fine. Reflash. Mess up trying to modify the bootloader? Goodbye N900, unless you are able to cold-flash it... :)
