I apologize if my post made you think that I'm trying to withhold information. That couldn't be further from the truth. At this point, I'm willing to share everything I know...in hopes of getting more ROM developers to take some of the load from those of us who've been doing this a while.
In this case, I was mobile and had already made a full reply to a visitor message (not a PM) from MaxiMO. I'm still trying to find my way around the new system here on FT.
Call me lazy...a little...but I don't like to repeat things very often. Especially from my cell phone....so here is the reply I made to MaxiMO:

The boot logos are located in 3 places.
The easiest one to change is the bootanimation.zip file in system/media. The resolution must match exactly the size of the original bootanimation.zip. You must place 644 execute permissions on this file.
The next one is in the boot.img. You must have the tool to unpack the boot.img. All of the tools for Rockchip ROM's are in this thread:
http://freaktab.com/forum/developmen...orking-rk-roms
The boot.img logo is located in the root of the boot.img in a file called initlogo.rle. The above thread explains how to convert a png to rle. Again, it must be the same exact resolution as the device.
There is always a branding image inside the kernel. Pre RK3288 is was very easy to change this image by using a hex editor. The above thread has a link to a kitchen app that has a scripted way of changing the kernel logo.
However, RK3288 kernels are compressed. This means that the kernel must be extracted before any changes can be made with a hex editor. The problem is that we have not found a way to re-compress the kernel and have it boot. Therefore, I have not been able to brand an RK3288 kernel...nor has any of our other developers been able to do it from a stock kernel.
I hope that helps.
