Image converter program
Several images used in the Android system (the framebuffers and initlogo.rle image) are in a RAW format - either BGRA or RGB565. Converting to/from these formats is a little bit tricky, since they aren't the usual RAW formats supported by most programs (e.g. the 4-byte format is normally RGBA, not BGRA).
I wrote a program in VB6 which can read both BGRA and RGB565 and write to BGRA. Here's a screenshot:
This is a ZIP file containing the source code and executable. You'll probably need the VB6 runtime for it to work - see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290887 for details, or download the runtime installer from my site at http://www.imajeenyus.com/VB6.0-KB290887-X86.exe.
When importing a RAW image, you need to specify both the image dimensions and the mode to import it in.
Saving a RAW BGRA image - since the alpha channel is ignored, the program writes a constant value to the alpha channel. This can be specified in the box, if required - I'd just leave it at 255.
