Thanks, the Nokia logo wasn't working for me, so I went ahead and resized and rasterized the maemo.org logo SVG. Looks awesome.
One question, it takes a second for the maemo.org logo to come up immediately after powerup (it shows the regular Nokia logo during this time). This wouldn't happen to be something contained on one of the cold–flash-only sectors?

The first time I rebooted the nokia logo didn't show for me either. But second it worked (I still havn't figured out the right turn on turn off ways, so that mig be it).
It sure seems that this logo is in the cold-flash-only sector. Its identlical to the ...startup_nokia.png but its not in the filesystem.
I want to change my startup screen but I need some help. I'm new to linux. It just took me about an hour to figure out how to become root. I downloaded become root. That didn't seem to work.
I finally stumbled upon $ sudo gainroot.
How do I navigate to the correct directory?
Is there some place I can go to find simple how-tos for using xterm for maemo?
I'm frustrated.
To gain root access, you have to install becomeroot AND type "sudo gainroot" at the prompt. Typing "sudo gainroot" won't work if you don't have becomeroot installed. For a list of Linux commands, http://www.linuxguide.it/linux_commands_line_en.htm is a good resource. As for a step by step, including exactly what to type, here goes...
Make sure your files are properly sized and named (see my previous post for this info). Place the files in the "Documents" folder on the device. You could use any folder, or the memory card, but for the purpose of this tutorial we need to be on the same page. Open xTerm and type "sudo gainroot". Type:
cd /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon/
This navigates to the folder where the startup screens are stored.
Hi all,
I did the steps mentioned above and was able to change the Nokia hands logo but not the nokia startup logo, i rebooted the N800 a few times and I have noticed that the progress bar is not showing either, only the default nokia startup logo then to the modified nokia hands logo, anyone have any ideas?
Maybe some one could touch it up?)
