or the real question is .. how to change Prophet booting Splash Screen with our own images ... I can see the guys from Wizard section doing it for their Wizard ... but i'm not sure it can be done with prophet too coz the setting is different...
i only know how to change the 2nd boot screen not the 1st. for the 2nd you install the welcomehead.96 cab from buzzdev.net and you create a 240x320 PNG file and name it as welcomehead.96.PNG and use resco file explorer to replace the file as if you use WM5 explorer an error will come out because the file is hidden and protected.

Hello all,
Does anyone know how to extract the Dopod 818 splash screen from the ROM or EXTROM files in the FTP? I have a Dopod 818 and upgraded with the IMATE JAM ROM but would like to get the Dopod splash screen back. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I've been trying to extract it from the Dopod 818 rom files using ER2003EDIT but with no luck. It keeps prompting me for a password. I tried all types of combo (0x20040305, 0x20040522, etc.) but with no luck. Does anyone know the password for this ROM file? Please let me know. Thanks in advance!
i'm looking for this one as well...
does anyone has it? Dopod splashscreen looks so good... Black background with Red font...
it does look nice
i still haven't been able to extract it out of the ROM. After doing some more research, apparently ER2003EDIT won't work with Magician ROMs. Does anyone know how to extract the cab files in EXTROM? I can extract it with winzip but the file extensions are .000, .001 etc. Are these the actual files? or can I extracted it another level? I'm pretty sure the splash screens are in those cab files, I just don't know how to extract it. Anyone out there that can help? Really appreciate it!!
send me the cab file and i will try to extract it for ya...... i use this program WinCE CAB Manager which is not free
so just send me the cab and i'll do my best .....
hi PapaDocta,
I actually don't know which CAB file contains the splash screens. If you don't mind and have some time, the Dopod 818 EXTROM is on the FTP site:
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Magician/Extended-roms/Dopod 818 CHT 1.03 Extended Rom/
or
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Magician/Extended-roms/Dopod 818 CHS 1.03 Extended Rom/
Please let me know what you can find. Really appreciate it!!
ok i downloaded the cabs but didn't find the image on them... i found lots of ring tones and some themes...
but i have made this cab file hope it works in ur device...
included in the rar file are 3 files .. one is the cab that u need to install and 2 images that i think what the dopod splash screen looks like....
let me know what'd u think
PapaDocta,
Please don't take this the wrong way as I have also tried to make my own Dopod splash. I just preferred to get the original one. I'm quite sure other members will make use of your splash! Thanks again for all your help!
PLS CHECK THE ATTACHED FILE

i'm using the latest qtek rom but am unable to reomove the second splash screen that shows the windows mobile. managed to changed the first one containin the qtek logo though using buzz's programme.
is there any way to get rid of the windows mobile splash?
Sure, no problem !
Just find any picture (jpg, bmp,gif).
Resize it to 480/640
Convert it with a graphics program (such as irfanview) to a .png file.
Rename this file to welcomehead.192
Copy that file to your /windows directory on the ppc
Softreset.
Voilà. You're done.
Cheers
hrb
actually, the picture needs to be 640x640 because it will be used both in Portrait and Landscape mode.
do you guys have the original welcomehead.192? i sorta deleted it without making a backup. would appreciate any help on this.
you cannot delete it, it is in ROM. As soon as you delete your own creation, the original file will magically reappear.
oh i see. thanks a lot for the input. managed to get it back to mess with it some more
Can I rip the original Qtek splash, so I can take it as welcomehead.192?

opposite. i just want to see the qtek splash, like before AKU2.
Ok all thought id make this into a post all together. I have been reading through lots of forums looks like we can change our boot splash easily but no one has put a tutorial on how to change the windows mobile splash. Ive wanted this as well as some others that ive read well here it is.
Step 1. find an image you want any size
Step 2. convert it to 240x320 ( if you dont it will be cut to 240x320 and you wont see the whole image)
Step 3. connect your wizard through activesync and navigate to your /windows dir
Step 4. open your image in mspaint and save as png with the filename "welcomehead.96.png"
Step 5. copy that image you just renamed to your windows dir on your wizard and its gonna ask you to overwrite and click yes
Step 6. now soft reset and your image should be there.
its easy as that . Have fun
Works only with total commander !

I've just done it thru "My Computer" on my PC after connecting for ActiveSync, just as gizm0 described.
I'm pretty sure that if I had copied welcomehead.96.png to somewhere else on my PDA (eg storage card) and then used either File Explorer or Resco Explorer to overwrite the one in \windows that it would have worked.
Anyway, thanks for the info gizm0
welcomehead.96.png seems to be read-only and when i try to uncheck the read only property, it does not save the changes and stays read-only so i cant delete it neither from the phone nor activesync
ok, was able to c/p it to /windows on the wizard directly. issue resolved.
It's that i say. On the wizard directly, it does not work with file explorer...
Excuse my english.
ok fyi i dont use the original file explorer i used resco file explorer and the attributes set to that file is . hidden, system, read only
and in resco you are able to uncheck those and overwrite
That's not your splash screen. That's your windows logo. Your splash screen(s) (there are 2 in some roms) is the first image you see when you turn your device on (soft reset)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=52564&start=50
^and there is a tutorial on that page on how to change it.
Later; Lew
ok well i know there was quite a bit of people wanting to change that and thx to lewcamino for the boot splash screen changes it works very well
I'm not sure about you guys, but it seems that I tend to be shown the WM5 splash/logo screen more than the ROM (very first one) splash screen.
Any ideas how to change the boot image on the prophet?
changing boot image
Got this info from PPCSG - so all credit goes to them (especially farbird). This changes the 2nd splash screen (the one with the windows logo on the blue background). The HTC/Dopod splash screen which appears after every reset is still there.
1) copy the welcome96.png file to your desktop from ppc. edit it... do not change the dimensions.
2) save that edited file as 'welcomehead.961.png' and copy it into your ppc /windows folder.
3) open total commander in ppc. go to windows folder, tap on hold on the original welcomehead.96.png, click properties, uncheck all the boxes under attributes. select ok.
4) total commander will refresh the directory, rename it now to 'welcomehead.962.png'. After that look for your edited file copied from the pc ie welcomehead.961.png.. rename it to welcomehead.96.png. after that, tap and hold and click on properties. check the box that says " read only, hidden, system "
once that is done, do a soft reboot. u should be able to see your new bootup screen after the rom version is up.
There is another way using activesync, but it didn't work for me as it gives me a write-protect error.
Do a search here @ xda-dev, u shld get the same info...
Hi,
this does not work on GER Vodafone ROM 2.15.3.26 cause welcome.96.png is in the rom part and not deletable.

Yes, that file is a ROM file and cannot be deleted. BUT if you use TotalCommander, you can rename that file to something else, rename your new splash image file to welcome.96.png, copy it to your windows folder and set its attributes to read only, system, & hidden. AND the changes will be permanent. Try it.
The reason it being a ROM file is why I was unable to copy & paste using the activesync method. But the way I did it works. Make sure you use Total Commander & not resco explorer or the built-in file explorer

Hi Pruta,
O.K., now I was able to rename welcome.96.png and replaced it with my PNG.
Softreset... Sh*t, the 'old' welcome.96.png was shown. O.K., my device wants war...it gets war .
I was able to DELETE the old (original) welcome.96.png.
Softreset... Aaaaahhhhh nothing changed!
O.K. continued search. I found a file named welcomehead.96.png, that is the same image than the original welcome.96.png.
The only prob is, I'm NOT able to rename or delete/replace it.
Are there anybody that also use the Vodafone rom and can test to change the boot image???
Attached file is welcomehead.96.png
If you can change the attributes to exclude System, and Read-Only, it should be able to change/remove it.
Hi krale,
nope. It's not possible to change the attributes. See attached MPG.
I was able to do it with total commander...
here is the link
http://www.ppcsg.com/index.php?showtopic=71471&st=40#
thanks for the credit, Putra.
Appreciated.
Do not delete, but overwrite
@farbird: Sure, bro - after all it was your post @ PPCSG that helped me change the splash screen.
Important: do no delete the welcomehead file as it is ROM file, and it will automatically be created again. The trick is to overwrite the file with another file but with EXACTLY the same name and attributes (except ROM). So Windows will not try to create the file again.
After you change the attributes of the original welcomehead file, NO NEED to check if it has changed - Total Commander will show it as NOT changed (meaning all the check marks are still present).
Just go ahead and rename that file, then rename your splash image file to welcomehead.96.png, and set the attributes, and it should work.
I used this trick to "delete" a useless movie file: 1-nature_15fps.mp4 (274K, I think). I created an empty txt file called 1-nature_15fps.txt (0B), copied into the windows folder, performed the trick, and now I have a 1-nature_15fps.mp4 file which is 0 bytes! Just a little experiment, which may come in handy if you really need the space.
Hope the above explains things a little.
