Moto Q Startup Anim
To create your own startup animation (these instructions are for Photoshop) create a new document that is 320 x 5280 pixels and 762 pixels/inch. That will give you 22 frames at 320 x 240 pixels. The first frame of your animation will be at the top of the document and each frame of your animation will be exactly 240 pixels below the previous frame. After you get the document all arranged like you want simply save it as a jpeg and copy it to your Q. Then rather than over writing the original, name it something different and copy it to your Q (I copied it to the windows directory).
Next open up your favorite registry editor and navigate to:
HKLMSoftwareMotorolaSplash AnimationStartup
You will see the string data “Image”, open it up and change the value to reflect the path of your new startup image.

Close the registry editor and restart your phone.
