Please could someone tell me how the windows logo image (that appears after the boot splash image) can be replaced?
Although there are some threads about how to replace the boot splash image (that normally is operator-related) I couldn't find anywhere how to replace the windows logo. This logo is displayed after the boot image slpash for quite a long time (I think it's even longer that the boot image). I hope that this is so simple that everybody knows how to do it, so please help.
thank you!
Yes I want to know too !!
The utility on buzzdev is only for the Universal (qtek9000)
Yes!!!
I really, really, really would like to understand how to do this too...
I already changed the boot image and i skinned the whole windows mobile 5.0 look, incl. the phone dialer tool.
The only thing that is bothering me is when i reset my qtek 9100, right after my very nice boot image (in black) the stupid blue WM5 apears for a while, only to go back to the black look of my today screen.
So any help would be nice.
Thanks all.
Be happy!
Hello,
I hope you mean this.
The file in the windows directory is: welcomehead.96.png
This file is only diplayed when password is enabled.
Make a new image in Photoshop, imagesize is 320x320.
And save it as welcomehead.96.png
Then copy it to your ppc. and from there copy it into windows.
Good luck
This is the one I use
Too easy...
Man... cau u imagine how much time i spend figuring this one out???? If i only knew it would be so easy.
But after a while one does not remember wich procedures one already tried, so i guess i just changed the file as you said and it worked.
Somehow i thought the file was in ROM and could not be overwriten.
... strange thing
stay well all and many tkx.

Whooooo Thanks a lot , aage !!
Have a Good week
Yoohoo.. it worked. Moving it with File Explorer to the Windows directory didn't work. Installed the free Total Commander and tried again. And succeeded. Changed the properties tot hidden, readonly and system.
My second splash screen (Windows Mobile) has disappeared. ATM only a white screen and fortunately I can boot.
I copied welcomehead.96.png to my PC to see if I can edit it (YES) and back to Wizard \windows folder and still same white one...
Any suggestions (I do'not want to flash or something like that because it takes a lot of time to shapen up the programs installed)
BTW, I have AKU 2.3 Mr. Clean 2.24 ROM. I can't edit extended_rom because of Wizard Extended_Rom 2.xx restrictions (no solution yet, at least I couln't find anywhere, Just Buzz was working on it)
:?:
I had this happen to me too, if you are using your own one, just replace the files again. But if you are not sorry you will have to find someone with that file. I copied it in 2 times and it works ok now!
Find what? an original "welcomehead.96.png file" ?
ya, cus i have changed my, but i did not like it so i did not keep a copy of the one it came with!
(cus the 1st file i put there did not a thing but then the 2nd one said to replace the file and i said yes!)
...It isn't dissapeared. Just delete the new one and voilà, there it is: the original.
I myself got a white screen after I installed pocketRSS reader...
Exactly the same program "pRSSreader". After installing it just a white screen. Will give a try to delete.
I have replaced it many times but nothing changed. Deleting might be a solution as yours
I'll post if I manage
Thanx

NOPE, didn't worked for me. I deleted ones, there u go, the original ROM file. but nothing changes.
...only when you uninstall pRSS the whitescreen disappears. It doesn't matter whatever you do.
But IF you have no pRSS anymore then you can regain the original welcomehead.96.png, because it's not gone but hide away...
Easily changed 1st splash with rom update (seems harder) but I'll give up the 2nd one because I like to use pRSSreader. Maybe ask the developer for a bug.
Thanx anyway
I tried deleting the welcomehead file but Resco says it can't be deleted as its in ROM.
I have the same problem, installed pRSSReader, it made my screen disappear. So I uninstalled it but the problem is still there.
Any fixes?
I would try the ones above but I can't seem to delete the png file.
Thanks..
copy welcomehead.96.png from Windows folder to anywhere(can be your PC) and copy it back to Windows folder.
think it will work
I tried that. It doesn't seem to work
I renamed the welcomehead.96.png file and then I deleted the renamed one. It created a new png file which, when I open, I can see is the Windows Mobile screen.
But it doesn't show on startup.
I also tried copying it to my storage card and then copying it back to Windows.
Doesn't work
Any other suggestions, please?
if you navigate to
HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin
Change the value of Enabled to 1
Soft Reset
do you get your logo now ....
I know changing the value to 0 should give the the default windows mobile screen
It was already set to 1 so I took a chance and changed it to 0.
Well...its still the same.
This is unbelievable. I also had a go with Total Commander and some of the instructions around this forum. Nothing.
I can't believe the developer of pRSSReader can screw up so bad...I am going to make sure I tell everyone I know to steer clear.
Thanks for your help, though...
try to create another welcomehead.96.png with properties 240x320 24bit (important) with your PC copy it over PPC windows folder. it should work.
i have done like this way and i change whatever i want but pRSS reader get things conplicated if u want your welcome screen do not use that program as well.
Should the image be 320x320 or 240x320? I know the resolution of the device is 240x320 but many people who have posted here on how to change the boot images say it should be 320x320.
I will do the above and let you know how it goes.
I can easily change my 2nd splash before pRSSreader and now and will after (uninstalled that RSS program)
I posted this thread becuse I wanted to learn if that program created the bug or not and if it's possible to overcome that problem without uninstalling. Asked the buddy who wrote pRSSreader and absolutely he was not aware of the issue. maybe will solve it eith the next release who knows ??
all my images are 240x320 24bit .png and they work perfect.
let me know how it goes as u told
Well, I edited the original 320x320 image to 240x320 and then copied it to my Windows folder. It still doesn't work! It's so strange
I can't imagine how its not working because it seems to be for everyone else.
I can confirm that the problem took place after I installed pRSSReader as I didn't install any other program before that for at least 3 days. It's a very nice program (and free, which makes it nicer) but not worth the trouble if it messes up my system.
Well, I guess I'll learn to live with it...till I decide to do a hard reset and install all my stuff again (which is just scary as I have a lot of stuff and it'll take up tons of time).
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:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_BootloaderMFG
and here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296511
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.

Hey Folks,
I think I may have bricked my phone. Just checking here to see if anyone
knows something I don't that may be able to save it. I was backing up my
PIM.vol file using the Synce software. I did this by ending all tasks running
on the system and renaming the file to PIM1.vol. I rebooted and a new
PIM.vol was created and mounted giving me access to the original file I
copied it onto my system with no problems. I then used the same
procedure to rename the empty PIM.vol to PIM11.vol and PIM1.vol back to
PIM.vol. When I rebooted the system it hangs at the Windows Mobile 6.5
splash screen. I'm running a 3v0 series windows 6.5 rom, no idea on the
version but it's been running on there for a few months with no problems.
If anyone has any suggestions I'd love to hear them. Thanks for looking
everyone.

Well, today I tried the phone one more time in desperation before I went down to Verizon. The phone locked up as per usual, but when I cycled the power it came up with a recovery screen. the screen allowed me to do a hard reset on the phone and it's back to working normally. Once the phone was recovered I moved my backup PIM.vol file over, and it took this time. I'm not quite sure what or why it was hanging, but I think it had to do with the case of the file being incorrect, though I'm not sure. Anyway, everything is up to snuff once again. Hopefully this information may help someone else down the road.
Hello Everyone,
Few Months Back My Chinese HTC Touch used to get stuck all the time on the windows mobile welcome screen. I searched for like 15 days and finally got a fix. Someone had posted a file which i had to put up in my SD Card and perform a booting option. Then like windows it got reformatted and my phone started to work fine. Since due to some problem i have lost that image file now. I am curios as i cant find it now from the internet. Is there any way i can get it out from my phone? it works fine for now.
Edit: Please get me the file which i put up in my sd card and boot it up. It is very hard for exe files>Connecting the phone to the pc and all that. i tried many....none worked
