Edit per 1781d3d :

The default bootsplash, included in local/CircleCI built roms will now looks like this (centered):
SplashscreenQrcode unless the symlink is pointed to another available bootsplash.

Comments?
Note that this is logo/bootsplash might change again in the future and discussions stalled under #1402, while a bootsplash is now needed (and next steps are #1403 to get rid of 500kb of drm/fb related kernel stuff which will happen next).


Implementation of @evergreen suggestion for ROMs compiled and downloaded from CircleCI built roms pointing to Insurgo Initiative for donation


Currently the following bootsplashes were pushed forward by the community under #1402

Those were prepared following those hackish jpeg creation guidelines under gimp and placed under the blobs/ directory:

  • ThePlexus-bootsplash-1024x768.jpg
  • ThePlexus-bootsplash-1024x768-DonateQrCode.jpg
  • d-dwid-janus-hexa_background-bootsplash-1024x768.jpg
  • d-dwid_janus_variant_of_ThePlexus-bootsplash-1024x768.jpg

Instruction to change:

  • Make the file blobs/bootsplash-1024x768.jpg symlink to whatever else bootsplash you want:
    • ln -s TheBootSplashYouWant.jpg blobs/bootsplash-1024x768.jpg

TLDR: to change it in your local builds:
ln -s blobs/ThePlexus-bootsplash-1024x768.jpg blobs/bootsplash-1024x768.jpg prior of building any rom will revert the presence of the donation link QR code for people building themselves, otherwise reminding to themselves and to the world that free software might be free as in free as in open source but not free as in free beer for those who maintain it.

Please donate massively to https://opencollective.com/insurgo people. I love what I do, would want to do more maintenance for free but I also need to do things that pay my bills like everyone else. Hope this Qr code is not too invasive while reminding people that donating is a nice gesture to do.

Thank you for your understanding.
