Replace the device startup warning message with something more appealing

  • /e/ version: any
  • Device model(s): as many as possible

When the bootloader is unlocked, a warning message appear on the screen when the device is switched on. We could have something more appealing, while letting the user know about the bootloader status (locked/unlocked)

What does it bring?

User experience improvement.

An /e/ user known as tcecyk has found a way to do this on Moto G4 Play: https://community.e.foundation/t/howto-moto-replace-the-startup-screen-warning/30602

It would be great to evaluate how to add this to the Moto G4 Play flashing process, and explore ways to make this possible for any device supported by /e/.
