BootScreen Lets You Change The N900 Boot Video With One Click
N900 users have been able to change their boot screens for a while, but earlier it involved tinkering with code and that meant you needed to know how to use the terminal to get this to work, not anymore. Valério Valério has published an application called BootScreen that lets you change your N900 boot video with a single click and requires no hacking skills.
All you need to do is install BootScreen from the extras-devel repository in the N900 Application Manager (here is how to enable it with one click), transfer the boot video you want to set to the N900 and select it from within the application.
- Simply transfer the boot video of your choice to the N900, then select options by tapping the ‘BootScreen’ menu and click on add.
- Next select the boot video from where you have saved it. Make sure it has a one word name only.
- You will see it added in the list. Here you can move it up or down to set play order if you want to play more than one boot video. To select a video for playback on bootup, it has to be selected/highlighted. Tapping on the video name toggles the highlight.
- You can even choose to have a random boot video from the options or remove one altogether.
- There are a number of N900 boot videos on the internet, YouTube has previews to a lot of them and a download link in the sidebar. Here’s the one I am using, and a link to download it.
- Here are links to a few others – 1, 2, 3 and you can lookup this thread for more.
