I'm sorry may be this is stupid question..
But i want to know can we use splash screen creator that created in this site... they said about using it on II mini and IIs, i assuming it can be use on our IIi but i'm not sure....
Every one who know about this can you tell me please...
Thanks before
Hi Cornelius,
you can use it - I've tried and it works fine.
You can create splash screens from bmp files using nb_image_converter_859_418.exe
There is a cab file somewhere around which can update your alpine to use these, or you can modify a custom extended rom to load it up ... choice is yours.
I'm working on a extended rom customiser that will let you do it via a GUI, but it's taking a little time.
If you can't find the cab file method anywhere let me know and I'll post it to you.
Bal
Step by step?
Hello bal666, Thanks for reply....
I've looking around the forum (maybe nat all), but i still confused (or maybe baecouse my bad english??? )
At forum :" Tool to create costume ext roms for alpine" if i'm right, you put splash screen when create ext rom wich it hidden....???
where can find splash screen? ( I cook my ext ext rom using your step by step guide and example from PUG rom, thanks for you all )
OR
can we put splash screen directly (with out cook rom again?) like step by step guide at magaician forum? and do just like that? (i mean folow that step by step instruction?)
He.he long question right?
Thanks before for your guide...
Hi Cornelius,
don't worry about your english ... you should hear me after a few drinks :shock:
Both methods will work - and I will post some details for you in the morning ... and the necessary files.
Bal
Waiting
Waw...
Thanks alot bal666
I'll waiting it...
Terima Kasih banyak ( Indonesian ) / thank's a million
Hi Cornelius,
sorry for the delay ... disaster at work.
I've attached a program (I found it in this forum) for making nb splash files from bmp files.
Now two ways of setting splash image:
1. Decode an alpine extended rom (or use your own)
a. open the *.fat file in a hex editor.
b. Paste your nb file at location 0x1880000, writing over the data there.
c. Encode the fat file into a new extended rom and burn to your alpine
2. use the MDA3_bootimage_changer2.CAB attached and follow instructions in the usage.txt file. NOTE - I think I've used this and it worked ... but don't remember too well :shock:
Hope that helps .... my suggestion is that if you're already using a custom extended rom then use method 1. Method 2 is a bit experimental and may cause problems.
Bal
I'll try it
thanks bal...
maybe i'll use both way,first one use for cooking rom, then the second way i'll use when i want to change only splash without loosing / reinstall my apps.
i'll work on it after back from hospital.
i'll inform if i failed or success.
Hex Editor
I'm sorry bal... but i need to ask you again...
1. I want to ask about 1st way...
did you mean"hex editor" is XVI32???
2. if yes how we paste our nb file to loc 188000 ( i think i can found loc 1880000, just how to replace those file? )
3. Can we extrac original nb file? & how
I'm sorry to take your time...
And thanks again for your time and help....
Original SplashScreen
Anyone please post here if you have an original xda IIi splash screen...
Hello Everyone
Sorry for disturb (I hope someone answer my question this time)
I'm doing same thing create my ext ROM for my mini same step like i create my ROM for XDA IIi ( i edited original ext ROM asia magician), after finished, i try to change my splash screen on my mini, all runs well.
then i update my ROM, after finish i did hard reset and my device booting, but... splash screen still same not going back to original one???
is that normal??
after my today screen appear nothing happen (seems my ext rom didn't run automaticly), so the result is programs on my ext ROM and my setting didn't installed (all of them)
Did the ext rom do not run because th effect from slash screen change???
or my mistake when creating mini ext ROM?
What should i do???
Please some one help me???
Hi Cornelius,
how did you change the splash screen for your mini?
Bal
Solved for Splash
Hai bal... nice to read a post from you again
I used the second way ( MDA3_bootimage_changer2.CAB way ) because it's easier and easier to go back to original splash )
Anyway i've solve the problem about splash screen i can get my original splash, even i download the original one from forum ... (errr i forgot)
Now the only problem is i dont understan why my Ext ROM mini didn't run any installation, i just did same thing for my IIi and it's work....
They said mini and IIi way is same....
Anyone can tell what i miss??
or direct me to right forum...
Thanks for your time to answer me...

Thanks in advanced
Hi Cornelius,
it does look like you're missing the autorun.exe file (although this might not be required for the mini).
Best approach would be to compare what you have in your extended rom with that which comes with a "normal" extended rom that works.
See if the autorun.exe does exist there - if it does then you know you need to add it to your rom. Otherwise I've no idea, perhaps someone else on this forum can help.
Good luck
Bal
Thanks bal
Thank for all your time..
but bad luck for me, there is an autorun.exe on my ROM, and what i remove from nomal rom only the CAB files...
fiuh....
Thanks anyway bal for all
Any one can help me, please??

Hi Bal666
You said open *.fat file did you mean the *.nbf because the hex editor will not load the *.fat.
Thanks
Hawkeye,
nope, I meant the *.fat file. The name is a bit of a misnomer unfortunately, as in the version of the decoder that is currently available the extra data at the end of the fat file (not really part of the FAT image) is kept in place.
You should be able to open this file in a hex editor ...
You could wait a couple of days while I do the help file for the new tool, it's GUI based and will let you extract and insert splash files without resorting to hex editors
Bal
yeah i think i'll wait.
Thanks
Nuts, the help file is taking ages ... so I posted the thing to get it out of the way ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=191164#191164
No help file and no user guide ... could be interesting
Hey Guys,
Do you know if anyone has defined what each of the files are in the Extended ROM for the T-Mo Vario? And if so could you point me in the direction.
Thanks,
Alex
You can extract cab files by yourself and look what each of them contains. For extracting cabinet you can use for exapmle Wince cab manager app.
I think the poster means not just file names but what they can do... I can access the ROM but only guess what each one does.
The read me just gives the file names and thats it.
Terran
PS I'm intrested too
i didn't mean to guess what cab does according to its name, but to extract files from each cabinet and look on them.
Most of them includes only some settings to the device's registries.
For example, CAB-Customization-TMCZ-Wizard-01-04-03Oct05 includes 4 files:
CeSettup.dll
CheckFiles.exe
Customize.lst
Platformxxx.reg
By looking into the Platformxxx.reg you can easily see this cab sets MMS and GPRS..
Thanks for the input. Although I believe there is probably some uneeded files in there, my device has been running smoothly, so I will probably just let it be until I hear otherwise.
Cheers
Hi
I've messed up a few files on my HTC wizard. Can anyone, who has not installed any dialer skin, provide me with the following files(preferably from a QTEK 9100, if your device is something else, pls let me know which variant): The files that i need are (all of them will be in \windows folder, you might need to unhide them using resco/total commander):
smartdialing.dll
dpadmenu.dll
msvcr80.dll
phcanhtc.dll
phcanrc.dll
contactcmd.exe
thanks in advance
could someone also post the ring tones of a WM5 device? I miss some of them after installing the WM6 crossbow on my Wizard.
I specially miss the terrestrial ringtone
Thanks!!
Hey, my buddy has got Hermes with 2.11.255.1 [03/07/07] ROM version (test with 3.3 Aku) on aboard. And guess what - it seems he doesn't have WModem.exe in his Windows folder! Now he can't make his new Herm a modem for his laptop. Please, if someone has cab file with WModem.exe (and other needed files and registry values / keys) , attach this cab to this topic,ok? Thanx in advance from me and my buddy.
Ps. We don't want to reflash to another Rom image.
Hi guys,
