I LOVE THE SMELL OF FLASHED SPLASH SCREENS IN THE MORNING! IT SMELLS LIKE VICTORY!
Okay, I have finally figured out how to make custom splash screens for viewpad 7 and flash them into it (finally got rid of those birds, lol)
Unfortunately, I did not figure out how to dump the old screen (for some reason, flash_image dumps a 100% black image, but at least of correct size) but it's not hard to reproduce if worst comes to worst (aka warranty lol)
However, the new screen is flashed okay.
I'll describe the process of converting any vanilla image file to a viewpad-friendly splash screen (or, rather for that matter, any device-friendly, as long as you can dump the splash/splash1/whatev. partition at least as "black" file in order to get the exact correct size ) and feeding it to the device later, in next post. Now need some sleep lol.
