Rle Images

rle images are displayed upon boot of an Android system. They are found in the boot.img.

Change directory in terminal or command line to the location of the image you would like to convert. Execute the command convert -depth 8 your-image-name rgb:tempimg.raw Followed by the command to565 -rle < tempimg.raw > initlogo.rle
