Also as requested original...I think, I made this from screenshoting someone's avatar so not sure if the writing is exactly the same size but have attached in both bmp and rgb565 formats so you can see it but its also ready for flashing.

I'm using my own little splash. Shows up the whole bootprogress as i changed the bootanimation as well.

That's also my wallpaper.

Looks awesome on the HTC Hero Display.

another way for Linux user to convert any format to 565 raw using ffmpeg

Convert image to 256 color with Gimp...etc

Open terminal and type

ffmpeg -i input.png -f rawvideo -pix_fmt rgb565 output.565

Et voila.

thx a lot, this is really helpful. i used a converter for windows, had to fire up the virtualbox with xp each time... this is way easier and can be scripted :D

thats not a bootscreen, it is the splash for HTC Sense UI

I think the screen your on about is in the rom is that splash screen.

so far we have been calling this bootscreen, also because of it's location:

/system/media/bootscreen

you can put your own gif images and mp3 sounds there, have a look at boot_animation.xml from the same folder. it is pretty straigtforward.

Yeah when you change your gif image just make sure you rename it the same as the file your replacing I.e boot.gif / boot2.gif. if I were you save your original gifs on sd before changing them though.

or just alter the boot_animation.xml according to your file names... i made two update.zip's to revert to original, with or without sound. check my bootscreen thread.

kendon, I could not find the bootscreen thread you quoted in a previous post. Do you have a link please? Thanks. 

lol, a search for "bootscreen" could have helped :D

btw, i didn't care for any values at all, just created default gif images with gimp, all worked so far. but i had problems with some gifs i got from the net, over at xda someone wanted the animated "htc - quietly brilliant" log as a bootscreen, didn't get that to show at all.
