Pity they spelt my name wrong, I did that myself once and was sitting here all day wondering why I couldn't log in haha.
Going to make a linux toolkit now, with stuff so that you can stick the image in your ramdisk :)
Great idea, a n00b friendly linux tool, with my recovery image on it too, because people keep flashing it lol :)
You are only meant to boot it.
I could also add in a kernel flasher too, for peeps that don't know how to flash kernels :)

In fact, ima go make a ROM kitchen :)

I have like half of it done already lol.
You could say I am a bit lazy, I cant really be bothered to enter things in over and over again, so I don't, I make a script with all.the commands in, then execute it.
The Rom kitchen, I could do with a few scripts :)

I see no one's been in here recently :p Not sure what's goning on with the script though it wasn't giving a rle so I ran it in ternminal to see what's going on:
Code: 
enter png filename without the .png extension
ac_logo
converting png to raw
convert: no decode delegate for this image format `ac_logo.png' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/544.
convert: no images defined `rgb:ac_logo.raw' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3021.
converting raw to rle
/home/andrew/CM9_kernel/tools_for_boot_logo/png-to-rle.sh: line 6: ac_logo.raw: No such file or directory

I have the scripts and my png all in the same folder, could it be some issue with the way gimp saves png files? I'm running ubuntu 11.10.

You said you chmod everything? You might have your perrmisons set wrong but its hard to tell from your description.

I personally used to use championswimmers kernel kitchen, full ramdisk (re)packing and RLE (un)conversion in cygwin :) regardless, well done.

OK i admit I am just lazy :)

Setting up cygwin can be complicated though. I cant remember who/where the guide on required packages is.

    Right.....

    There is one thing I have always wanted to do, make my own splashscreen :)
    As you know, I am the sort of person who makes scripts to accomplish these type of things (really, my memory is that bad), so I created a set of scripts for converting RLE splash image files into PNG files, vice versa.

    How to use:
    Open the terminal, and issue the command:
    Code: 
    mkdir tools
    then extract http://icxperia.com/keiran/tools/splashtools.zip into the tools folder :)
    then, in the terminal:
    Code: 
    cd tools
chmod +x set-permissions.sh
./set-permissions.sh
exit
    now, permissions for the executables have been set.
    Now, move your png/rle to the tools folder.
    navigate to the tools folder again, and depending on what you want to do, either double click on png-to-rle.sh or rle-to-png.sh and select run in terminal, then enter the filename of your rle/png without the rle/png extension

    When converting to RLE, the RLE file will be in the OUT folder :)

    It doesn't matter about layers.

    It's more likely that you've got too many colours; remember that rgb565 is only a 16bit pixel format. Try reducing the number of colours in your source image
