I tried several methods and came to such effect. BTW, I uploaded another logo to check the differences between vFL and FL color tabel.
I also noticed that when changing the theme color in IPC, the image breaks down - any ideas?

Still looking for conversHacker software - asked ursadon on pm but no luck :( If any one have the source code, or exe it self - share it here.

my work - I'll share the details , after I fix my picture encoder.

I also menaged to load cutom picture in it - the previous ones -are my test - looks like crap :lol:
Had our ups and downs but great work man

That's easy to explain. The display can only use a limited set of colors shown simultaneously, even if each of the colors can have any arbitrary RGB ink. This comes up to a color-palette (indexed color scheme) and each image shown can only use this palette. So the challenge is to convert your, mostly, RGB-image back into that palette you are using. As far as i remember the bootlogo can use a different palette than the rest of the menu. This all was described in mine and Ursadons findings thread.

Hi guys I think I may have found useful information
Bytes in main which I believe is for stock logo
145B5 is 30
145B6 is 08
145B7 is EF
145B8 is BC

Logo address in flash 8BF12 to 8F3F5

Stock logo, bytes at the end of the logo
30 08 BA F8 Start of data frame?
30 08 BA EC start of image?

How do we obtain these 4 bytes from a custom logo I'm learning guys so please go easy

Post # 2 says everything about the logo. The same is true in other firmware versions. Of course, addresses vary slightly between software versions.

It's time for a decent encoder. Good luck in our work. Fingers crossed.

Convershacker makes the logos but we have to work out the start of image and start of dataframe

The encoding algorithm in this program is not entirely correct.
