Would be funny to see a native Linux bootscreen without the splashscreen. Could be a option under Settings -> System -> Developermode
Edit: Turn off splashscreens can improve the feedback on bootloops, update fail, shoutdown fails etc. (Thanks @MartinK)
Edit: Update to 2.0.2.x - Nothing new on this side. Any plans? Do anyone work on a patch or something?

Recompile the kernel with the framebuffer console, install and you will have the linux penguins and the kernel messages etc scrolling over the screen.
It's hard to recompile without the source... http://releases.sailfishos.org/sources/ There's no 1.1.7 source available atm.
Fuzzillogic ( 2015-09-05 02:00:15 +0200 )editIt's left out as it would otherwise print kernel messages etc on the screen, while most people just expect a splash screen until the UI comes up. And also to avoid having to deal with special bootsplash programs and the like. But it is relatively easy to add by recompiling the kernel. The rest of the implementation Could be done by the community? As honestly I think there are other things that are more important on the todo list first.

Could be also handy for stuff like debugging boot loops, upgrade issues, etc. :)
