I've done this on the 770 and the N810, so I have no reason to think it would be different on the N800.

Open xTerm, become root, and navigate to the following folder:
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon/

The file names are:
qgn_indi_startup_nokia_logo.png (800x480)
qgn_indi_nokia_hands.jpg (800x480)
qgn_indi_progressbar.png (24x16)

Backup the originals (I just added "_backup" to the end of the filenames), then copy your new images over the originals and reboot.

If you want to change the progress bar, it may help to know this:
The image is 24 pixels wide. It will display the first 8 pixels, then the middle 8 pixels over and over (98 times total), then the last 8 pixels. It took me several tries to get this right, so I'll save you the effort of trial and error.

Hope this helps all who want to try this.

Thanks, great and simple instructions. No more gddamn hands

EDIT: My new image that shows during the bootup is now:

Ouroboros background (from the TV series Millennium). Looks nice when backlight brightens during the boot. I also use the same picture as qgn_indi_startup_nokia_logo.png. See also the matching statusbar.

I tried to replace the start up picture inN900 but the old Nokia picture remained when I rebooted...Even if I replaced the pictures

Is there another procedure for the N900 ??

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

I can probably come up with some shell script to do it. Let me work on it.

N900 splashscreen still remains after changing it?
anyone know why, it must also be somewhere else that we dont have access to, is there anyway to hack the n900 to get access to the real splashscreen

Ok, I've made one just now after reading this thread. It's clean and minimal.

p.s.: does anybody has the maemo.org logo in transparant .png?
