hi
we all know how to change the first one right!
for the second one.. its actually a png file named welcomehead.192
in the extracted rom .. you can edit it and reflash the rom if youre desperate to change the second boot splash and while your editing it make sure you make it NON read only file incase you wanna re-rechange the boot screen later
cheers
no need to change anything in the ROM - you simply place your image file with the same name into the Windows folder (ignoring all the warnings). This will not delete the image in ROM but it will show your picture instead.
Make sure you look at the original image first - it has a funny format to handle both portrait and landscape.
it works.... :lol:
The standard programs -- wizSplash and splash_bmp_to_wizard -- produce an error message (ITWRITEDISK). Does anyone know how to change the first splash screen? (I'm using Xelencin's wonder T-Mobile customized version.)
I can change the second splash screen simply by dropping the appropriately sized 320 X 240 24bit png file named welcomehead.96.png in the /Windows directory. But I would like to change the T-Mobile first screen, too.
i am super new in these
but i tried like you described, nothing changed after a reset.
Works for me.
just convert your image in PNG format 24bit.
write the file name: welcomehead.96.png
do not forget the . between 96.
rotate the image and resize it to 320*240 EXACT size. you may need to change aspect ratio.
Then place the file on your storage card and from the storage card copy it or move it to the root windows directory.
Soft reset and enjoy.
damnation
i did it, as i read it, but there is still the beermug my adminfriend put when he changed the device from russian to english. blyadstvo.
nu shalomochka
i will try further

Hi mate

Thanks
Second splash screen
This procedure -- welcomehead.96.png -- replaces the second splash screen, which on my MDA says "Windows Mobile." You can replace that by pasting the right kind of file -- a png, 24 bit, 240 X 360 -- over the existing file. I used explorer on activesync, and then just "Cntl V" to past the file. I couldn't delete the original (it is protected) but just replaced it this way. A hard reset would recover the original, but this procedure survives a soft reset.
Replacing the first splash screen is more complicated. There are threads (search for splash_bmp_to_wizard) that tell you how to do it, but they only seem to work on the older ROMs, at least they don't work for me.
To change the 1st Splash Screen download this file:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/Splash_images/SplashScreenStuff.zip
There's a ReadMe in the zip file, with these tools I replaced my 1st SplashScreen.

Molski

That really tests one's dedication to changing the splash screen.

Isn't there an easier, less complicated way?
Just read the ReadMe good. It's not hard to do
ITWRITEDISK problem
Hello, I was waiting for a long time for a post like this. I still have a question. Does this package handle the write protection (the ITWRITEDISK error message) of the new ROMs ? If someone would be so kind to confirm, then I will try it right away. Thank you all.
That is the allegation
My understanding is that molski's strategy does get around the writedisk error, since that was the problem I encountered.
Please post how it goes, I haven't had time to do this and the value seems low, since the screen is only on for 18 seconds on my unit. Changing the second screen was much easier and lasts a lot longer.
SplashScreenStuff and Checksum Error
I followed the steps from the tutorial. I ended up with the boot screen that showed my custom splash screen image, BUT ... on top of it there was the message "Formatting BinFS" and then at the bottom "CHECKSUM ERROR" and it wouldn't boot further on. PLEASE, could someone who has done it provide some support? I'm trying to change the splashscreen ( I could update the splashscreen before, with some ROMs that didn't have that write protection) for months now. PLEASE could someone help ?
Has anbody got this to work on 2.26.10.2 wwe?
Thanks
CHECKSUM error
It seems I cannot get rid of this "Checksum Error" message. I extracted the splash screen from the newly created ".nbf" with "TyphoonNbfTool_04.exe" and checked it - it's the one that I want to load. The device gets stuck at boot time with the new splash screen. PLEASE, can someone help with this error message?
This works

How does it work?
Thank you for your reply. How does the splashes from this link work? I mean - can I change the splash screen with one I made or I have to use only the ones prepared by M. Faria?
His programs only install the splash screens illustrated there, I chose the bluish one. But there are also instructions on how to do your own.
Still cannot change splashscreen
I tried those ones, too, still I get the CHECKSUM ERROR message. I can reflash OK the device and it works OK, but any time I want to change the splashscreen with either LewCamino's or Faria's tool I get this message.
PLEASE HELP as I really don't know want to do any more. Thank you all!
I may have read the various tutorials wrong, because I have not been able to change the first (Tmo) screen in the 2.26 rom I am running.
Has anyone done this bootscreen change yet in the 2.26???
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Can someone hook me up with the original TMO splash screen for the WING. The file name is "TMO_Startup.gif" in the "Windows" folder. I changed the contents of the image with my own image through Total commander and now it looks like crap.Even if I change the image, the TMO splash screen still comes up.
You can however change the WM welcome screen through total commander. The WM Welcome file is "Welcome.96.png" located in the "Windows" folder. Just cut and paste through Total Commander.
Anyway, yeah can someone please hook me up with the original TMO Splash screen TMO_Startup.gif . . . . Thanks.
Also does anyone know of the dimensions that the WM Welcome screen should be.
here you go.
Much thanks.
Thanks duprade! I appreciate your help.
Anyone know where i can get a progrm, or file i edit to use my own imgs/animated gifs? thx in adv!
What exactly are you trying to accomplish? You want to be able to make the files you posted on here as link into bootscreens and flashscreens?
Also, it is my understanding that the wing doesn't properly work with animated boot/splash screens.
Hi every body, I searched but I do not succeed in finding how change the first screen (screen operator) as well as the second screen (animated gif) on my Htc Elfin.
Anybody could help me please?
