Drag and drop BMP or BRN files onto the main icon to convert to the other format.
Tested on: My Sprint HTC Touch
It's a bit more user friendly than the command line app, and also converts both ways - from bmp -> brn and from brn -> bmp.
Application (requires .NET 2.0)
Source Code and VS 2005 Project

Thx for this application. I will try it today. It looks very comfortable.
Edit: I tried it, and it´s very fast, also i can convert all files in one step. Very, very good.

Ok I must not be using my head. This is made to work on your computer right? You need the actual phone hooked up?

yeah it's a desktop app used in coverting the image files you'll need for customizing the cube.

Awesome little app
Should make life a bit easier.
Thanks!

any one have problem using this program? I can load it without problem, but after I drag a file to it, it just apears almost the same as the 2nd pic in OP's post but without the preview and the progress bar. And no new file is generated then.

this just awesome, I don't know how I missed this app, it makes everything so easy, I'm surprised there isn't that many reply to this great little application.

thanks.......and guidance required

ITS CLEARLY WRITEN TO DRAG AND DROP ON ICON NOT IN WHITE SPACE......HEHEHEHEEHE

I can't get the .exe to run on my desktop, keep getting "program has encountered a problem..." WTF? Could it be 'cuz I have .Net 3.0?

OK, it runs on another computer here, so no worries. But I get the same thing reported above--nothing happens--and I *AM* dragging onto the icon in Brn Converter. Any ideas?

Yo, bully! Thanks for your post. The brnconverter does fire up on another computer here...but when I drag files to it, I just seem to get the big yellow exclamation mark. Any idea?

Hmm..not sure but it could be a permission problem. Just checking, but did you copy the brn from your touch to the PC. Then dragging the brn files from the PC into this proggie? You should see bmp files of the same name getting created in the directory where the pc's brn files are. If you've done all that, then i'm not sure..but probably the developer could shed some light..

I take it all back--and you're right. I had the .brn's copied from the Touch, but into a network folder. Once I moved everything to a local drive, it works just fine. Live and learn. Thanks so much....

This little proggy is just the thing i needed. Din know it was so easy to use.
Was afraid that the images will suffer a loss thru the convertion but all turned out great. thx.

Great application. Many thanks for this!! I really appreciate it

Hey Poorlyduck, how do you use a GIF for the splash screens? The splash screen kitchen that I've been using (from EqX) only had tools to use BMPs for the splash.
Inquiring minds want to know

Oh I found this in one of your other threads. So I guess we can only use PNGs and GIFs for the last splash image (the welcomehead.96.png)? No use of GIFs for the earlier splash screens that you have to flash into the device? Is that correct?
poorlyduck said:
...Pick whichever you like and drag the welcomehead.96.png to storage card or my document in ur PDA then use resco explorer or total commander to move it to windows directory, allow the new file to overwrite the original one.
Note: dont try to move the image directly from your computer to your device windows directory, it wont overwrite the old one due to windows protected files.
I suggest that you backup the original welcomehead.96.png somewhere in your pda in case you want to use it again one day without hard reseting.

this is cool!! I got the same question though, how can I change my splash screen? isn't it in .png format? steps on how to install it and the file would be great!!

You can convert the .gif in .png with XnView.
Rename in welcomehead.96.png
Copy this in the windows directory
My question : Is there a way to change the screen that comes before the splash screen on an ASUS P535 ????

Some devices have an "animated.gif" inside the Windows directory. Just replace that one with this one to get the animation on boot.
Don't know if it works on all devices, i think it depends on some application by HTC but i'm not sure.

Yeah, just copy the file to your \Windows folder then use a reg editor to change the following key,
HKLM>Software>HTC>StartupAnimation and change the GIFFile target to point to poorlyduck's new file:
GIFFile = \windows\poorlyducwindowsglobewg2.gif
I've created a cab package for ease of use and included another Black HTC Animated Screen.

i use P535 and i serch for the famous animated.gif...
but can 't exist on Asus p535...
I ve found the shutdown.gif but the splash screen before welcomehead.96.png does no exist in this format... .gif...
Anybody have an idea...

thanx moe, hope works on my prophet

can this htc plugin be cooked in any rom? or added later?

I'm trying to use it in S2U2, but it is just showing as a black background. All my other animated gif's work fine. Anyone know what I'm missing here?
Edit: Weird. A couple of resets and now it is working.

Cool

Hi Dan,
Just downloaded the MARVELLOUS Splash screens you have uploaded in you thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=420028
and you have also said "i use it with advanced configuration tool v3.0 for the splash screen.
hope you like it", I am using Advance Configuration 3 as well and tried to browse the image under the splash > Operator > Startup image & restarted 3 times but nothing has been changed.
I am using original O2-United Kingdom 1.93 Rom, do I have to do something special for Advance Config to change the startup picture ??
Can you advice please ?
Regards
Sid

Nice work thanks for sharing.

Can i ask how exactly we are supposed to apply these as splashscreens?
I thought they had to be flashed?

i use advanced config 3.2
go to the option splash screen -> ms splash screen on startup -> and select your image file -> thats all
Important: Copy the image at first to my device/my document NOT to the internal storage!!

to use them to replace your operator splash you have to flash them i believe..
there are 3 startup images in total:-
1. The Operator Logo (flash to chage it)
2. The HTC Startup animation (replace gif to change it)
3. Windows Mobile Start Splash (again, replace png file)
i did some work a while back:-

Hi there, sorry for getting back late...
To Build an image to flash you need some tools:-
1. NBHUtil (Win Tool to build NBH files)
2. nbimg (DOS Tool to Convert BMP to nb image files)

Let me be the first to say thank you for this great theme
Can you share the HTC start icon as well.
Cheers!

Thanks, just want to ask, is it include the clock as well ?
as i have other clock file which i am happy to use at the moment ....
yes please, can you also share the HTC start icon, and also other colorful icon on top ??
thanks
you can PM me for the file ....

Thanks but.....
Thank you man but can you please share the TASKBAR ICONS that you have as easy installation??? dont give the link to that just if you can post it ready here????
​

Nice one mate.
Nice activesync icon. Would be glad if you can share only those 2 dlls.
thanks

taskbar icons are incomplete..i still need to modify a couple..i will post them when they are done
The files above ONLY include the tf3D icons..so no clocks..

updated!
Landscape mode changed mostly
Portrait mode changes: People, weather & Home(changed contrast)

I 'm worried about this

If I do overwrite...this means....my original; TOuch flow 3D file will disappear? and if I want to change back to original theme....I need Hard reset?

No they wont.
Read this -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2791165&postcount=1
It tells you how to install and how to uninstall when there is no cab and why you wont mess up the original files.

not true.
Total Commander will overwrite the original manila files without prompted. if you already have modded icons then it will ask to overwrite (hence what i said above)
so in other words, the original file WILL get replaced.
HOWEVER, you should not worry.if you delete those manila files from the windows directory, the ROM will automatically restore the original file.

i only got 2 of the 8 icons in landscape mode, not sure why? Oso pls advise how I can get the calendar tab.

sounds weird..
try disabling tf3d first and copy the files again.
enable tf3d again...
if that doesnt work, try a soft reset.
please let me know if this worked..

It work now as I hv installed the vodafone red theme previously. and now I resintalled bk to default. Thanks again. I can installed the call history and calendar but it doesn't appear your icons. Please advise

i am assuming that you installed the call history and calender after you installed my icons
That would lead to my files for CH and calender being replaced by the standard icons
So in other words:
if you have Call history & Calender ALREADY installed:
Just copy paste my files
or
if you want call history and my icons, install call history first and install my icons afterwards
Tell me if this worked for you

Yup, it works again. I also add the comm tab. how to change the icon?

can you give the link to comm tab topic?
if i know which manila file is responsible for those icons i can try to make some for you

I think it is 42d367fd_manila...but I dun know how to change the icon with ur other invention

i found the 2nd one..
1e439536_manila - Tray icon
42d367fd_manila - Hero icon
instructions: same as the above icons.
I included a backup of the files just in case
Let me know how it works and if you like the icon
EDIT: PROCEED WITH CAUTION. POSSIBLE PROBLEMS..THIS POST WILL BE UPDATED WHEN IT IS KNOWN FOR SURE

Very nice, my friend. but i realize u have 2 files with same name, which one I should copy to the window dir?

Mini-Mod: HTC Bootscreen

Hey guys,
I replaced the ugly green WM6-Bootscreen (the one after the HTC Logo-Animation) with the original HTC-Screen.
Attention! The cab HAVE TO BE installed into the internal Memory, not the SDHC so on...
This is compatbile with HD only!!
After installation is complete, you have to soft-reset you HD.
If you wish to deinstall, everything will be like before without any clutter.
Have fun!

Yes, it can be changed.
You have to replace a small sound-file within the windows-folder.

hihi...just downloaded and installed it...now I don't have any bootscreen...it's just black (better than win mobile) ;-)

use Advanced Config to change the splash screen to any jpg on your HD

tested on my HD and 5*

Just installed the cab, the .png is fine, but the animation is not working, any idea to this? btw, what is the name of original animation file in windows folder?

you don't need a cab file just
use total Commamder to rename the file to

then copy it to ur WiNdoWs folder on ur device....
p.s. before u do this use total commamder to make a back up of ur original just in case u want to revert back to it.....

When I try and replace the original welcomehead file with another it tells me I cannot copy the file, Access is denied.
I've tried using Total Commander with no luck

Perfect!! HTC's simple logo as a screen replacement is a smart idea, not a geek screen with "I love my HD" on a crappy picture : your way it stays sober, 5*

I personally don't bother using a cab for this, though I do like D-Jays splash screen.
I use the attached explorer and replace the 'welcomehead.192.png' file located in /windows
I backed up the original file first obviously
I have also attached my current splash screen. Obviously not to everyones taste and extension needs changed from .jpg to .192.png

@ D-Jay: Could you post the bootscreen.png without the .cab?
