Can you replace the logo that displays during startup with a different graphic? If so, how?

You cannot change the boot logo, but you can suppress it by modifying the following line in ADSLOAD.HWT:

0xC0000F00 0x00000001 ; Boot logo: [00=none] 01=ADS logo

to

0xC0000F00 0x00000000 ; Boot logo: [00=none] 01=ADS logo

I think you're talking about ADSLOGO on boot time.
This Logo is hard-coded in Bootrom Image.
You can disable logo or enable ADSLOGO.
It does not support any Custom Logo.

Once Wince Starts up, you can change background logo to your logo.
You need to replace adsload.bmp file.

ADS boot code currently doesn't support customized logos during power-up. Most production customers opt to simply turn off the logo during boot for several reasons:

the logo is typically displayed only for about a second

many applications keep the system powered all the time, so the boot screen is rarely displayed

For high-volume applications, ADS can build a boot ROM that includes your logo. While this is rarely done, you may contact ADS Sales for the costs associated with such a customization.

I think I know what you're trying to do. Create your company logo as a bmp and rename it to adslogo.bmp and throw it onto the flash card.

1. Modify the setting in the 'adsload.hwt' file. The setting will exist by default. If not then just add it.
0xC0000F00 0x00000001 ; Boot logo: [00=none] 01=ADS logo

2. Now copy the new adsload.hwt on the flashcard

3. Use the sealed box upgrade method, and the file in the bootrom will be overwritten by the new logo and new hardware settings.

Result: ADSLOGO will no longer appear during bootup.

If you wish to use the same logo as the background image when windows CE comes up, just add these lines to "adsload.reg"
;---------------------------------------------------------
; Use "YourCompany Logo" For Wallpaper
;---------------------------------------------------------
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Desktop]
"Wallpaper"="\Windows\adsload.bmp"

Copy "adsload.reg" onto the flashcard
use the sealed box upgrade settings and flash. That's it.

Thanks emerendsouza. You're correct that the procedure above will work to display your logo on the CE desktop of StrongARM CE devices (the first hex number is different on XScale devices). This feature is useful for applications that leave the CE desktop enabled for customers use.

We recently implemented a customer logo feature in the CE boot code for the BitsyX. This allows that same logo to be displayed during boot. BitsyX users might take a look at topic 1309 for further details.

My bad. I inserted the wrong info in my post. I had multiple ver files open and copied the wrong info. Thanks for correcting my error.
