Anyone found a way to do this?
Would love to change the HTC picture before Windows Mobile comes up.
Cheers
S.K.
Changing "welcomehead.96.png" fixed up the windows mobile screen
(located in /windows)
however, the screens im after are the ones that come up before the windows mobile screen... The cingular 3g screens...
Anyone know how to change those? I remember on the sx66 having to do with .nb files and running an applications and what not. But im looking for confirmation on the hermes 8525.
Any info is greatly appreciated.
On hermes bootloader you can only flash code using 'lnbs' or 'wdatah' commands, these require the code to be signed with private HTC keys, so it's not possible to change boot splash screen until we find a way to flash unsigned code on hermes.

As searching didn't help me in this case...
What do I need to do to get rid of the bootscreen that I got when I installed the WM6 vanilla OS?! The "Bring back the ROM archive" bootscreen..
Is it the bootloader that needs to be replaced (Let's say I want the original bootloader)??
Check this thread..if you're an AT&T subscriber like myself, then try out my custom logo. Just run "RomUpgradeUt" from your hermes and you're ready to rock and roll.
Hi, does anyone know how to change the picture (I have the T-Mobile logo) which appears when turning on the phone? Is it possible to change also the logo of Windows Mobile? Thanks
Change Windows Mobile Startup Screen...
Yes, it is possible. But please do a search before you ask questions. You will find the info here:

For your second request --->
To change the "Windows Mobile" startup screen you got to copy a .png picture file (320*240) into your devices "/Windows" directory, with the name "welcomehead.96.png". I copied with Resco Explorer and got a warning for overwriting a ROM file. Still: This worked! Also with the new WM6 ROMS (in my case XDA live 0.10).
(see: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeFAQ#Q21)
Well, in my case I edited a small screen with my name, contact details and picture and used it as flash screen 1&2 and as Windows Mobile startup screen. So that if I ever loose the device everyone will know where to return it. Quite a theft prevention as well, since a hard-reset won´t erase the flash screens.
Apple*
i was fumbling around with the hypercore kitchen and found a tool in a subfolder called "nb image tool". i was curious, since it suggested only a few simple clicks in order to create your own splash screen. so i flashed my creation but now i have TWO splash screens: one white HTC INNOVATION, and one OEM. the latter one can still be changed. but the first one seems to be branded into my device.
i found out that this tool was originally made for the himalaya which actually does have TWO splash screens. but i haven't found any hint how to reverse this **** again.
requesting immediate help, please!!!
bro have the startup animation.
i changed my welcomehead.96.png (the second startup screen) So if someone else could copy out the said file in \windows to help sort chriskay out.
*Edit* muddleheaded me thought that this was for the Nike (with regards to the startup screen, the welcomehead.96.png should be the same). Hope it helps with the wm6 prophet (me speculating again)
Is it possible to have Startup Animation on P4350 Like Wing ?
You WANT the wing startup?
I have the HTC startup on my Wing. lol
Or are you just wanting to have an animated startup animation?

From my understanding, we couldn't change this without recooking the rom. I was experimenting with this once, and nothing worked. If I'm wrong, please please please someone let me know how to do this.
WHICH splash screen? Technically, there's three. I can show you how to change all three.
EDIT: The first one requires you to flash your device with a custom splash screen. The second and third I've only done while cooking but I don't see why they wouldn't work as cab files or done manually...
ok, well, I just made a cab to change the first bootscreen.
3? I know of 2...
Do you know what the registry entry and the file name is for the second bootscreen? In the original Tmo rom, it was green Windows with a circle.
There's also the PrimarySplash.nb bootscreen.... I'm not home right now and I don't know if that information survived my PC "issue"... we'll see.
I think I was not clear enough.
I have tried installing Animated startup on my P4350 but it just not smooth, there is kind of a jump when the animation start.
I replaced the the animation dll's with the one's from a elf rom and it works very smooth but then you loose the vibration.
Has any one experience this before.
The rom I am using is based on the original herald rom not the wing rom.
I also tried the Wing rom and replaced the TMO_Startup animation with another Gif file and it also jumps at the begining with a screen flicker.
The Startup animation I want to use is the elf animation.
Please advice
Best Regards
It would be nice if someone figured this out. I think we've all been under the impression this wouldn't work at all, but maybe it will work.

It is possible
-To stop the Startup Animation Delete the following registry key and it will not work anymore.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\StartupAnimation]
- The Attachment is HTC Splash Screen which I made from Elf Startup Animation in NBH format and RUU Flasher included
Regards
Post the files you are refering to so I can take a look at them, please. Thank you.
Its not the Startup Animation that I want to eliminate. Its the first splash screen -- the T-Mobile screen I want to get rid of. Its not possible.

Here you are, The RvBCrS HTC Startup Animation.cab I found somewhere here in the forum.
It works without Sound but have to delete the Flags Key in HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\HtcInit.
Also there is a Jump at the begining of the startup animation.
When I replace the StartupAnimationEngine.dll with the Elf Dll, The Animation is very smooth but you loose the vibration.
Same issue if I replace all the DLL's with Elf Dll's, Also loose vibration but animation is very smooth and still no sound also.
Best Regards

Need Help with TMO Wing Spash replacement via Rom

Ever since I got my TMO Wing 2 weeks ago I've been trying to replace the 1st boot splash with a custom graphic. I've managed to get it working with other people's ROMs (ie. Open Touch & Touch-IT) so I know it is somehow possible.
The Spash Only rom for HTC above has also worked successfully. However, I still cannot get a custom graphic converted to nbh and flashed to the device no matter what I try.
Can you provide the steps on how you made the ROM for the HTC Spash from the ELF Startup? or let me know what I need to do to my BMP to get it into a valid NBH?
Everything I do gives a ERROR [328] : INVALID COMMAND at the end of the flash.
I have a TMO Wing
IPL - 4.10.0002
SPL - 4.10.0000
I use HERALD-USPL-beta3 and it works for all ROMs but my own.
I've tried Splash Screen Changer and nb_image_converter.exe with HTC_ROM_Tool to no avail.
Custom BMP Properties:
width 240
height 320
resolution 71 dpi
Bit Depth 24

Hello everyone I need a little bit of help figuring out how to change the bootscreen on the mogul. If anyone can lend a helping hand, it would greatly be appreciated.
I believe the initial bootscreen has to be changed while building the ROM. The second splash screen can be changed by merely overwriting "welcomehead.96.png" in /windows with another image.
It could be different depending on wireless provider, but my Sprint Titan uses "SPCS_startup.gif" in the Windows directory. I renamed the original and
then added my own gif. Hope that helps a little. I do remember a thread regarding this, I will dig around.

Clarification would be helpful. Do you want to change the initial boot screen, the startup animation, or the final splash screen?
At one time, I wanted to change the initial boot screen that comes up and says Verizon on XV6800, but could no figure it out. The other ones are easy.
