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.
HELP!! How to change 1st Splash and HTC splash
Hi EveryBody
i've Imate JamIN
batterystatus overclocked to 286MHz
Rom: PDAVIET 4.0.0.4 (totally stable)
i know how to change the 2nd Splash (concerned of Windows)
but i dont know how to change the 1st Splash (that of Imate or Qtek) OR the Splash concerned of white backgrounded HTC Innovation...
Can anybody help me in full details, step by step and straight commands
NB. I still dont know what is CID, IPL , SPL... (please let me understand these terms)
Welcome ksadek
read the xda wiki to find out what CID IPL and SPL are
Right, all you smart guys/gals out there, here's a thinker....
According to this page, the .nb file for the Artemis Splash Screen should be 196,608 bytes in size.
If I create one and mix it with an OS using Dark Simpson's HTCRT though, I ALWAYS get "invalid file size". Conversely, I can disassemble and re-assemble the same ROM (including splash screen of the correct size) and it works....
.....could somebody please explain - for I'm a bear of simple brain - why my custom-made splash screen seemingly upsets the applecart?
I know it doesn't matter, but it'll stop me tearing my hear from my head...
Yes, I know you *could* use the Automated Tool which - by the way - is absolutely excellent.
But, what if you wanted to do the whole thing in one flash?
Here goes then:
1) The NBH Headertypes Wiki tells us that a splash screen needs to be 196,608 bytes, so
2) Download the attached zip file and extract the contents to a new folder.
3) Create a 96dpi, 240x320 bmp image for your splash screen. Call this whatever you like, and put the image in the folder you created in step 2) above.
4) If you have the NB Image Converter (I found it here, a nod to the authors.), run it. Select the .bmp image you saved in 2) above. [I've included it in my attachment for those that don't have it already] Save the file in your folder as an nb file.
5) Copy your nb file to a new file "splash2.002". Also in the zip file are 2 files named "splash2.001" and "splash2.003".
6) Run "GlueSplash.bat".
7) Voila! The created "MainSplash.nb" can be flashed in its own right - that would make you mad because you could much easier use the automated tool - or (more sensibly) mixed in with other nb files in a custom ROM.
If anybody spots anything inaccurate, mis-spelled or just plain mental, let me know. The usual "I accept no responsibility" Government Health Warning applies. If you're scared about flashing - don't.

Good one andrew! Shouldn't step 5 read - rename nb to "splash2.002".
And step 7 shouldn't it be mainsplash.nb rather than mainsplash.bat?
Better you change the title of the thread to the title of the second post
Yes, and Yes, and done.
To create working NB files just look at my updated splash screen tool

Dude, I downloaded the revised tool and triedit for a splash I know works - the resultant nb file is 150k, therefore would require the 'glue' routine to be run before it could be cooked in [to a working nbh file]. From your (obviously intimate) knowledge of your program - is this what it does before flashing? Just curious really...
EDIT: ? don't know what I did the first time - used the file suggested below by Mechsle...got the right result....apols to JC.

Use File explorer extension, total ommander or resco explorer
1- rename the original file to BAK or whatever you remember
2-copy the new file into \windows\
There are 3 bootsreens
SEMC***.GIF isthe startup animation
welcomehead.192.png is the green Windows screen
As an explmple, I copied I my own welcomehead.192.NEW.png to \windows\ renamed the original file to welcomehead.192.BAK.png and then renamed welcomehead.192.NEW.png to welcomehead.192.png
Reset and changes wll apply
Thanx for your answer. i got the SEMC2904.bmp changed with the one i drawed. i hang it on my post if somebody wants it too.
*EDIT* okay i overwrote the old image but my new one does not appear ?!

A thumbnail would be fine
You can upload a thumb to tinypic.com or else
Thanks for sharing
Here's the Thumbnail.
But do you have a tip for me? i copied the screen to my windows folder. i'm getting asked if i want to overwrite it. i agree, but if i reboot my x1 i don't see my new screen
Check
It appears that (like desktop Windows) the Xperia performs a check on boot of the file details. If the file is deemed "corrupted" it is replaced by the original from an unknown location.
Since you file quite likely does not match a hash check, or possibly is saved in the wrong format, it gets replaced.
I had this problem and as of yet have been unable to make an image that the device will accept.
yeah must be some kind like this but i want to have my own startupscreen!!
I've been trying to change the splash screen on my jade and have managed to make an nbh file and flash it with the customRUU.
the splash screen has changed but seems to 'cut off' near the bottom where the boot info comes up and shows some of the old splash screen under the info.
Its really wierd I'm sure my image is the right size (I've used several stock ones from this forum)
I'd really like to know where I'm going wrong.
Cheers
Anyone?
the annoying orange
Hi Welshbloke70
I too would like to change (the annoying orange) splash screen on my Jade.
I presume you are talking about the very first splash that appears on start-up?
I’ve successfully done this on a herm200 but you know how things can be different!
Can you explain what steps you took and I’ll try the same on mine to see if we get the same result?
Cheers

Well I flashed the HTC stock ROM and thats changed it.
The stock ROM works well for me so I'm pretty happy, and I guess that the splash screen is changed for good.
Orange splash
Hi Welshbloke
Can you tell me if the stock ROM is available here? If so can you provide the link or version?

Hello,
all you need is a GIF file 240 x 320 Pixels in size.
Place the file in \windows folder.
You might need to use the Total commander to place this file as otherwise you'll get write protection error.
Soft reset after replacing the file.
If you're talking about the HTC screen splash ...
on my set it's this file - animated.gif (240 x 320 pix, 46.1 kb) in \windows.
how do i enable and chamge the animated.gif? and disable the splashscreen?

AFAIK... Get any gif file (animated or not) of your choice, edit/resize it to be of the same pix size with animated.gif (240 x 320), save it as "animated.gif", dump it into \windows. Softreset. Rem to keep the default file, just in case.

Only to tell: I do not have the file "animated.gif" on my phone.
But I do not want to change my splash-screen, so it does not matter for me.

Trying to understand better ..
After you dump the new file and softreset, when you boot up, what happened ?
Does the splash screen still show the default animated gif ? or No animation at all ?

Hey all,
Another question from me. I want to change the boot screen of my ROM. I have been able to change my splash screen. But now I want to do those two things here:
- I want to replace the orange "Windows" screen
- I want to remove the HTC Animation and sound
Thanks!

1)To remove animation, just disable the animation package (HTC animation)
2)To remove sound delete the HTC-QuietlyBrilliantBoot.wav file (in operator package folder) or replace it with a no sound file.
3)The images for the orange screen are inside the runcc package.Try to replace them with same size and resolution images.
Orange Windows Image is located in a couple different places...I guess you would have to search your kitchen to find exactly where it has put them,but in mine they are in:
SYS: Redist_dpi_192_resh_480_resv_800
OEM: OEMDrivers
EXT: RunCC_1_2_1_0
Search your kitchen for these names:
welcomehead.192
RunCC_default_bg_480_800
RunCC_default_bg_800_480
You may also want to change these items to match your replaced images
All runcc_progress-XX files located in runcc
All PB-X files located in oemdrivers

Task29 makes a format in your phone and clean all the files from previous roms.
Otherwise these files are cleaned only if you hard reset your fresh rom.
Thats why I think that previous files were not all deleted and thats why after you hardreseted your rom the picture is fine.

Well I just tried it and for me works fine.
I attach my photos to compare with yours.
You must take care the run cc photos to save them as progressively compressed.I done this with irfan view which is a free program.
Welcomehead.192.png is the first part of the runcc process and can be a different photo as you see in my files.
Welcomehead.192.png and Runcc files can be 480x800 and not only 800x800.
How do you mean, save as progressively compressed? Can you please tell me how I should save the files. The save options are quite advanced for some extensions...
Thanks

In Irfan view you open the image you want and when you click, >File, >Save as and you select the jpeg option, then the possibility to save the jpeg photo as >save as progressive jpg, arises.
I dont know if this is really needed but the original run cc files are saved this way.
