I've created a small tool which will take a splash screen NB file created using madkat's NB image converter and convert it to the new splash screen format used in HTC Devices such as Kaiser or Titan. It just adds padding with zeros and the string "This is HTC splash signature" at the end.
Enjoy
Nice one pof! Many thanks for all your contributions.

Image Converter not working.
Hello all.
It's been a while since I've been back here at XDA Dev. Was around when I had my Universal and hacked it to kingdom come. Now I have a HTC TyTN II. Had it for awhile. I've tried Dutty's ROMs and they are amazing. My problem is that I tried to create my splash images that I used to use on my Universal. However, the image convertor in the first post keeps giving me an error when I try to run it? I've attached the error. Was wondering if anyone could help. Also, is it possible to create the splash image from the Universal? However that one used to have a a 640x480 dimension. Let me know. Thanks.
same question ,pof will dis work in blue Angel with WM6
Wizard
can we use this in our Wizard with WM6?

I use to mess with alot of .ocx files when making misc yahoo tools long long ago. My thought would be to download a new copy of comdlg32.ocx and re-register it. I'm sure if you do a search on google you'll find them all over yahoo booter sites and such. All their prog's are dependent on various ocx files.

For future reference:
Place the file in %SYSTEMROOT%\system32
e.g.: C:\Windows\system32
Hi just tried the converter but it's corrupted. I get the error message:
Component 'comdlg32.ocx' or one of it's dependencies not correctly registered. A file is missing or invalid.
I tried downloading it again but keep getting the same result.
*EDIT: Found the solution in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334907&page=4 Post#37
This cabinet file contains the missing files which need to be put in the same folder as the nb converter.exe http://activex.microsoft.com/controls/vb6/comdlg32.cab

my friend...i don't think so that we have a 3rd splash image...if you disable the password you can't see the "welcome image" (3rd image) my friend but nevertheless still you can change it....
its a "welcomehead.96.png" file from windows folder...320x320 pixel image. the files is hidden, so you have to change the folder option to see the files...use the resco file explorer to copy and replaced the files or you have to include it to the splash image changer cab together with two splash1/2.nb files and must be a hardcoded path...
Big thanks...you giving me a valuable idea to upgrade my splash image installer...again thanks....
the original file
[welcomehead.96.png]
the edited example welcome image
[welcomehead.96a.png]
visit always here... http://buzzdev.net
Yes, you are tooooooooooooooooooo good, may be we can find about it.
Kenny.
I will waiting for your latest version, the orignal one really look like the one when hardware reset the XDA2, so better to change it . Haaaaaa.
:wink: welcome!
hi, i have managed to change the splash screen using buzz tools (t-mobile logo in my case) but how do u change or get rid of the other splash screen or what ever it it..in my case windows mobile logo ?? can i replace it or just have nothing.. i have read that it is welcomehead.192 which is in /windows but when i copy it to my PC i cannot see it anywhere. can anyone help with doing this ?? cheers
cudo
OK, i have sorted it out:
/windows/welcomehead.192.png - just make your own *.png file and replace the exisiting one. it must be 640x480 pix.
bye, and thanks for your help !
thanks for your finding. I will have a try
sorry i didnt find the post sooner CUDO, great of you to work this out, Keep up the good work
Hi, guys. I'm new for universal. I use O2 Exec and up Rom to Dopod 900. I like to use O2 splash screen but cannot find the pic of it.
Anyone can share the pic? Or where can I get it.
Thanks in advance.
hi there,
i'm looking forawrd to have the same original o2 splash screen on my dopod 900 too......any1 out there could guide us to do that?
regards
Hi,
how did you replace it? Active Sync can't replace it, he always tells me about an error that there would not be enough space...
Damn, would really like to have my own picture there....
MfG
MPW
@MPW: replace it by overwriting with another file with the same name!
You can even take a jpg with less quality and size and rename it to png file type, still works!
so all you need is a o2 wallpaper like on the start up.easy done i will see wot i can do.
Hey there,
Just wondering... is it possible to change this image? ie the one that says 'O2' with the bubbles when your Exec loads after a reset.
I have a 640x480 PNG image which I'd like to use.
Thanks!
Dave
Yup right there
http://www.4winmobile.com/change-th...343.html?sid=494a2df12b48a1e8fdca8ae0e7bfb752
4winmobile say there updating so just wait a few hours.
If my memory serves me correctly, its an MS-DOS exe file that'll place the image you want into a file then you upload it via activesync.
I've done it myself and it works, it stays on even if you upgrade your rom.
HUGE thanks! Worked perfectly I've attached the file I've changed it to incase anyone wants it... it's very pretty lol. I got it from another forum (not my own work!!) and could be an offical Windows Mobile screen?
Dave
does this work on i-mate rom (latest official rom) ?
i have tried this process and have failed miserably

YES, create a PNG image with 640X480 dimensions and name it "welcomehead.192". Now copy and paste "welcomehead.192" PNG image to the "Windows" folder using Total Commander and perform a soft reset.
awsome mate!

Not 640x480, but 640x640! Otherwise you will have cutted splash in portrait mode.

Yes that is true, but it is hard to find a good picture that would fit very nicely in the center of both landscape and portrait mode during soft reset. Since majority of the time, most people soft reset on landscape, it looks better to center the picture on one than both.
I have tried but didnt had ne luck as it has replaced my file can i get an imate image of the same dimension?
how about on a Wizard?
Anyone get this to work on a Wizard G3?
TIA,

Hleeo, anyone please kindly upload the original splash image form O2 EXEC, i'll change the splash screen, but i prefer to make bakcup before. (Who know I'll miss that screen sometime)

Hi All,
first: I know there was just few posts ago same thread.
BUT!
What i really want to see here(We r in Polaris section not Kaiser)
is proper tools and proper explan. how to build and flash Splashes for Polaris.
I tried to do that with info given in Kaiser branch but no luck(mostly coz i was affraid to brick my cruise)
I have to deal with noobs every day at work (i put myself in noob cat. when it concerns phones-flashing-and etc.) and the only way to help them when screeming at u saying that u r as..ole and dont want to help--- is to draw them a "PICTURE" with what they have to do.
So.
Im nOOb here and i'd love to see that PICTURE.
It'd be nice if someone who knows this stuff and does it every day, would make some PrintScreen of the whole proccess of creating and flashing splashes for Polaris.
Thanx alot to all of u who makes our(nOOb's(but willing to learn)) lives more interesting
Cheers lads
Don't know about changing the first HTC splash screen but the Windows one that loads after it really got on my nerves...so if you want to change just that one this app worked for me.
It basically unlocks the file welcomehead.96 in the Windows folder. You can then overwrite it with a picture of your choice (renamed "welcomehead.96"), saved as a .png image and resized to 240x320 (I used Paint for this).
Hope this helps a little.
cheers dude.
SubSplash Flash
Hi, here is a group of very useful tools that load any image you like into the boot loader creating your own splash
There is an interesting thing: another Splash after the first one called Subsplash (when showing radio and rom versions) that is tricky to replace. It has place at the address 0x601. So, you have to edit htcrt_devices.ini file by changing the address wherever you read 0x600 put 0x601, look for your device (or change them all in the list just in case). Only then you can produce the RUU_signed.nbh. After that, replace into ROMUpdateUtility folder and flash. Try it. Almost one day to find out how to get rid of that awfull image from Claro Argentina! Hope this helps.
Hi All
Im looking for Xperia logo animation on the startup, I dont really know the name of the file, but it is the screen that comes after the sony ericsson logo If i recall.
Thanks in advance
theres a cab with it i posted here, the cab just sticks the file in windows and makes sure the reg is pointing to the right place

oh cool thanks man, how does this differ from the cab file?
its just the gif file, you can change the setting with advanced config or manually editing the registry
to point to the file
hklm/software/htc/htc animation startupgif /windows/semc1904.gif
Apologies for hijacking the thread slightly (it looks nicely resolved to me though), does anyone know where the initial Sony Ericsson image is stored - i.e. the one that greets you when you first fire up the Xperia?
I found SEMC2904.bmp in the Wndows folder which is exactly what the startup screen looks like, but even if I change that file the startup image stays the same.
Any ideas? Or failing that, is there a registry setting to change the path for the initial startup image?

That's a bootsplash, not so easy to change, best done with a rom kitchen.

Can't restore xperia animated logo
Hi there,
been trying to get back xperia animated logo but no luck, seems that registry keys are not enough.
I've messed witk Mainsplash and Subsplash and successfully changed both by modifying htc rom tool settings and playing with nbimg, but xperia animated logo doesn't have anything to do with bootsplash, it's managed bt registry and no need to mess with reflashing inital splashes.
Here's what occurs at wm boot:
1. Display Mainsplash
2. Display Subsplash
3. Display Animated logo
4. Display Welcomehead*.png
I 've also tried playing with registry keys which were used successflly by HTC prophet users to display boot animation (see : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1719336&postcount=19)
but still no luck...
Has anyone succesfully restored Xperia boot logo ?
EDIT: Solved!

EDIT (14/01/2009):
Finally managed to get this stuff back, registry keys were not correct.
Here is a link for all those who want to get back their Xperia Boot Logo.
Unzip this file in your kitchen's OEM folder, it is ready to be cooked:
http://www.4shared.com/file/80625819/778c01d2/Xperia_stock_startup.html
(if you want to get it back without cooking anything, just put the file in \windows
on your device and edit your registry according to included keys in .rgu file)
Hope someone will find this usefull.
Cheers.
the reg key works prefectly in mine and on several other wwe roms are you on a french rom? that may be the problem..
you dont need to start playing with cooking roms just to get the htc animated startup working.
of course the easy way is to use advanced config to choose the gif you want to use.. and thats where i got the reg key from
Thank you for the answer fards, the problem was that at the beginning i was trying to put the wrong reg key which was included in archive posted some posts above.
First reg key i've tried was:
HKLM/software/htc/htcanimation
Tried also with a space between "htc" and "animation" but none worked.
By searching a little i found some htc prophet related posts with registry settings that put me on the right path.
After some unsuccessful tries i found that the following keys did the trick - at least for me -:
"Volumn"=dword:00000000
"WAVFile"="dummy"
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
"GIFFile"="\\Windows\\SEMC1904.gif"
"Priority"=dword:000000C8
As you can see, the keys for playing a wave file when dislaying animation are here too.
Since i'm beginning in cooking stuff - and also in the whole ppc world - and wanted to make an ultralight ROM from my stock french one, i wanted to do everything at hand, in order to improve my understanding of the whole stuff, including little "cosmetic" details as well as critical system tweaks to fit my needs without using a single piece of additional software.
I've edited my previous post according to how i resolved this and included a zip archive to replace the one posted previously, which was including wrong registry settings.
Nice to see what we can achieve by working on various things and exchanging ideas, techniques and advises.
I've learned many thing since i began last week, but still a lot to learn...
Now i can go to the next level...
Cheers and thanks again.
