Replace splash screen (operator logo) - HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development

#### Working on UK O2 HD7 ####
I have discovered a way of replacing the operator logo image that appears on boot of your device before the Windows Phone 7 animation.
What you need...
chevron/developer unlocked windows phone 7 handset.
TouchExplorer for HTC phone (confirmed working.
A bitmap image with dimensions of 480 x 800.
Step 1
Send your image to your device by e-mail or use sendtowp7 app if installed.
Step 2
on the device...
Set the image as a wallpaper.
Step 3
Open TouchExplorer and open Wallpapers folder
in the list of wallpaper files you will see your image as a random number but still a bitmap (.bmp)
You can open it to ensure you have the correct image.
Step 4
Tap the filename so it is selected and then bring up the menu to rename it.
Rename the file mologo.bmp and ensure the file is still selected.
Bring up the menu to select copy
Step 5
Click the back icon to go back to the list of folders.
Open Windows folder and wait for all the files to load. (touch the screen if you set your phone to lock in the shortest time)
Bring the menu up and select paste.
You will see a notification saying the file already exists to replace it.
CLick OK to replace the existing file.
Restart your phone and see your new picture appear.
I am unable to test this on other devices on other networks.
I hope mologo.bmp is the name of the file of the original image for all devices. I just searched the windows folder for bitmap files.

it is mologo.bmp on tmobile us
good find

thanksssssssssssss it worked fine

Thanks

Remove Ugly Cingular Logo from Phone Dialer

I've been searching the forums for this, and can only find info on T-Mobile, and changing the skin to the WM5...
when making a call or using the dialer, or in a call, that ugly off-color CINGULAR logo is in the upper left. Any way to remove this, or at least change it?
thanks
create a replacement dialer logo .gif that is
size: 105px x 23px
name: "Carrierlogo"
place in location: /windows folder and replace existing .gif file named "Carrierlogo"
after replacing: soft reset
you may want to save a copy of the oem "Carrierlogo" file... or not
i created a blank/transparent .gif because i don't need it to say anything but any image will appear so have fun
Dude..I can't copy it..because the image is in use...
I have attached the file I use. (I take NO credit for making the file, as I found it elsewhere).
Use the instructions above and copy it over the existing one in the \windows folder ... then soft reset.
larsjeparsje - make sure you don't have the phone dial pad window open.

Just delete the file and it will display the text of the carrier you are on.
The K-Jam doesn't have that file...

interesting... i totally removed "Carrierlogo.gif" from \windows and:
1) no adverse affect. phone works fine with no image at all.
2) i do not see the carrier displayed as you state.
The problem is, I can't delete the Carrierlogo.gif...
i read in another post that it may related to rom version... search is your friend... sorry

You only can't change Buttons (Yes/No).
Check this my custom theme on attachment.
where should i copy this files, in win root?
any pics?
It was Kitchmen package, but you can install it manually.
Extract it, copy files in \amarullz_GreenBlack\files\*.* into \Windows
And change your themes in Start Menu->Settings->Today
i am also using visual kitchen, will put it in...
EDIT: well only thing i got new is scroll bar, and green selecting, can i somehow keep scrollbar and have blue selecting?
also how to get vista/win7 wait animation?

You can edit the Images. There is "listViewSelector.ManilaGreen.png" and other files ( I think you know the image will show in which area just by read the filename ). For system color, you should edit the ClassicGreen.tsk file with WinCECab Manager.
For your message box design, you can easily edit the "msgboxBorder.ManilaGreen.png", and "msgboxTitle.ManilaGreen.png".
For vista wait animation, you need to edit the dll file with reshack, try to find it, it was available in some thread..
sorry for my english
i will try "msgboxBorder.ManilaGreen.png", and "msgboxTitle.ManilaGreen.png".
but for dll, i will need to request....

HTC "You" animated splash screen (w/ audio)

I created a clean looking HTC animated splash based on the HTC "YOU" commercials. It's only about 4 seconds long to avoid a long startup sequence. Just unzip and use a file namager like Total Commander to copy the files into your /windows/ folder.
If someone would volunteer to make this a cab, I'd appreciate it.
Update: Sept 1st, 2010 - Installable CAB version for those who don't want to have to copy the files to their windows folder. (thanks Brent372). Look a few posts down for the link.

Cab installed to device, no go.
Stock ROM/ radio...themes all custom cozy.
In which folder do u put the zip file in windows???
On Acer Neotouch S200 with a stock ROM is NOT working....
I've installed a cab on a main mamory, but nothing!
alright i found this app which changes icons but it also contains a "bonus feature"
that allows you to change either the animated boot screen,and or microsoft boot screen just copy your "gifs",and "pngs" to your sd card find them with the app
Save,close,then use the "reset device" option and enjoy.
(the preview option is broken)
Using this now on my Sprint Touch Pro 2. If you have Sprint, you have to copy over the "SPCS_480x800.gif" file in the Windows folder.
Thanks for the great work!
P.S. Where's the thanks button on your post? Would like to have used it...

[bootanimation]tweaked ics

Stock is too bright and shows too much color banding
Adjusted the gamma on the images. Made darker and colors little more vibrant
Install:
Flash threw CWR
Alternate install methods [root required]
Use the bootanimation.zip below
Place in data/local folder then reboot
no need to set permissions leave as is
this will bypass default animation and when you want to revert back simply delete from local folder and will default back to stock
one thank to me for resize
a lot of thanks to demo23019 for this great work(for the nexus s device)

For those of you on MIUI like me, I'll provide the steps to install it.
1. Download the boot-file.zip containing the "bootanimation" file.
2. Extract the file and place it in system/bin, replacing the old boot animation file (make sure there is no extension at the end, just bootanimation)
3. Give it the permissions using Root Explorer or equivalent: rwx-rx-rx (rwxrxrx)
4. Download ics_tweaked.mtz and place it in sdcard/MIUI/themes
5. Reboot, and them go Settings>Themes>Customize>Boot Animation> The new animation should be there.
6. Select it, Reboot, and Enjoy!
NOTE. If it isn't there, look at all the boot animations that are there, if there is one with no preview, select that one. That should be one containing the new animation.
*DISCLAIMER* This method worked for me and results may vary.
Works flawlessly, thanks.
Great boot animation and very easy to install.
Sent from my Huawei u8800 using XDA
Will this work on the Rezound I would really like this one looks nice.
When start booting animation little bit laging, but later everything ok. Best boot animation for me.
Thanks for this great animation, works like a charm

[MOD] Have some custom Splash screens and wallpapers! NEW SCREENS ADDED: 01/02/2013

LAST UPDATED WITH NEW WALLPAPERS/SPLASH SCREENS: 01/02/2013
Hi Guys,
Just giving a little something back to XDA...
Here are some custom wallpapers/lockscreens (JPEG) and the same images in NBH format ready to be flashed as a splash screen. This will replace the screen that appears as soon as you start the phone (the one with the white background and green HTC logo). All images come in both formats and I've also bundled the CustomRUU application into the first RAR that you will need to flash the splash screens. Just download the RARs, extract and follow the instructions in the README - you don't need to be an advanced user to do this!
Download the RARs to get all the following thumbnails in full 480x800 resolution.

Thanks for downloading my wallpapers/splash screens!
These are compatible with all HD2 phones regardless
of the operating system in use.
There are 2 folders in this zip:
1.) Lockscreen and Wallpaper [JPEG]*
2.) Flashable Splash Screen [NBH]**
* To install the lockscreen wallpapers simply copy
the JPEG file(s) to your HD2 via bluetooth/USB
and set the wallpaper/lockscreen using the option
in your operating system's menu. For WP7/8 phones
sync the file(s) to your HD2 using Zune.
**To flash the boot screen move the NBH file of choice
into the same directory as the CustomRUU
application. The JPEG file with correlating name
contains the same image in case you want to
preview before flashing. Make sure there is only 1
NBH file in this directory when flashing. Turn off
your HD2. With the phone off, hold down the power
and vol- buttons until the screen with red, green
and blue stripes is displayed. Now plug your HD2
into your PC via USB. When connected propery the
word "Serial" at the bottom of your HD2 screen
will change to "USB". Now all you need to do is run
CustomRUU as an administrator (right click) and
follow the instructions to flash. Your device will
restart after 20 secs(ish) and boom! Enjoy your
new splash screen.
5 new screens added!
4 new screens added!
thank you very much
