    You can't change that screen as far as I know. I have been trying since the N800.

    You will find icons with the same blue text on white background but they are for the "About" screen >> N900:\usr\share\icons\hicolor\scalable\hildon\about_nokia_logo.png
    and, a start up logo that you will sometime see after the one you are calling the "splash" screen bro.

    Not to be dickish but a "Splash" screen usually refers to software and that is what >> N900:\usr\share\icons\hicolor\scalable\hildon\startup_nokia_logo.png is. It "Splashes" on the screen after the "boot" screen. They just happen to be the same image.

    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.

    That logo would have to be changed in the firmware, at the kernel level as you can turn it off and have the dmesg spew across the screen I believe. I have also asked a similar question in relation to that logo.

    If I remember rightly its in the boot loader and not the OS its self.

    @skalogre thanks for the sensible reply bro, finally i got one!
    but i was already a part of that discussion and it went nowhere, which is why im asking for a hack to get into the locked 'nokia' part of the phone.

    Truth is i was actually the first person on this planet to change the splash on the n95, then again on the n97, suppose thats my only claim to fame in this world!
    so im not giving up on the n900

    so a HACK is needed to get into the boot loader or the firmware or the kernel, do we know if anyone is working on that?
    that was my original question!

    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

    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!)

    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!

    Good for you...

    Um, I have changed that image to something completely different and as I said sometimes it shows and sometimes it doesn't depending on the boot state.

    BTW, do you mind linking to something that shows what you did with the n95 and n97. I'm interested in how your hex editor got around the check sums. It can be done but, the negatives far outweigh any of the positives for me.

    Yup, just checked again bro. Quick reboot and no show. Take the battery out, let it sit, put the battery in and the changed start-up logo shows. It flashes first, then the boot screen, then the rolling dots.

    Edit:

    - about_nokia_logo.png
    - qgn_indi_about_nokia_logo.png

    Do pretty much the same type of thing as far as I can tell...
