On the WM Team Blog they address the reaction to the nearly worthless battery icon replacing the clock. Good news is that ROMs using AKU2.2 and later will allow you to add the clock back in, bad news is that the current JasJar ROM (1.30.76) doesn't seem to have the 2.2 release of AKU.
Can people with other carrier's ROMs check to see if the registry edit they provide works with your ROM?
The egistry edit is to add a DWORD titled ShowTitleBarClock with the value of 1 in the HKEYLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Shell location.
Didn't work for me
Doesn't work in the latest dopod rom 1.30.111 either...
The message on the MS site is from yesterday, and the guy is speaking of a "further release", i think AKU 2.2 don't exist yet
btw: isn't working on my wizard too
AKU 2.2.1 exists...
this is the nessesery file, you need to replace the existing one with this one (windows directory)
and add
[HKEYLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Shell]
"ShowTitleBarClock"=dword:1
this is only for AKU 2.0!
!!!Attention: Make a backup and read through this tropic!!!
Problems with Universal roms!!!!
Perhaps related to the certification. Plz someone with removed certification try this... and post the results.
RE
The shell32.exe file in my QTEK 9000 is located in ROM something which you cannot copy out.
Does a soft reset reverts back to original battery icon if I'll to replace with the attached shell32.exe file?
After the battery icon is replaced by the clock icon, can I add a date to it also using any known method to put a date on top of the clock?
I believe a hard reset will definitely reverts back to the original battery icon, right?
Thanks
only a hard reset reverts back to the original.
add a date: I think so... not tested, but it should work.
I have a special rom where it is possible to overwrite system files, but It could be difficult to replase shell32.exe on a normal rom and I cant make a cab, because I dont know how to sign that.
plz someone with the knowledge about that make a cab.
don't bother, because even if you replace the shell32.dll, it wont restart, displaying the keyboard and getting stuck there.
You will have to hard reset and restore from a backup to get back your device.
A word of warning - back up before trying this. It hosed my universal. It would not even finish booting, and I had to hard reset.
Surur
Ok, I realy sorry.
It works for me...
Himalaya (rom based on 2.00a)
On my ROM (Qtek latest) in \Shell\Taskbar there's a regkey LimitedClock set to 1. If I set that to 0, the clock will at least display everywhere except Today, both in landscape and portrait modes. With it set to 0 as per standard, the clock only shows up while in apps *and* landscape, apps/portrait it doesn't. As long as the Today screen time&date plugin is switched on, this means you've always got the clock. BTW, needs a softreset to activate, Taskbar settings apparently are only read on first startup.

I'm sure you realise this is a universal forum? You should edit your post to remove your file before somebody else zaps it's unit.
I dont think so, because the os is the same.
My rom is not realy Himalaya, it is a ported wizard os and only the drivers of Himalaya.
So the file should work on all WM5 devices, perhaps the problem is related to the removed certification on Him 2.0 rom's.
(This file is from an Atom rom not Himalaya)
But you are right, I edited the post.
Disablesecurity.cab, replace shell32.exe with new, softreset
Hangs at boot with the soft keyboard superimposed over the boot screen. Hard reset to fix.
Basically, avoid this for a while.
......or use Wisbar Advance 2 and you have your clock back on the Today screen....
Cheers

You can access that feature simply by going to the date/time settings and enabling "Display the clock on the title bar in all programs" on the |More| tab.
O2 xda Atom have AKU2.2.1 and it really works no more battery icon.

Hello,
It is my first post on this forum.
Yesterday, I unlocked my frensh SPVM3000 (Wizard) and tried to replace my "shell32.exe" by the "shell32.exe" downloadable on this post.
It was a BAD idea! My SPV starting crashed because it was for Universal smartphone. I used the button sequence to re-install the original software.
Have you an address where I can download the "shell32.exe" of the Wizard AKU 2.2 software?
Thanks for your help.

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.

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.

Is it possible to have Startup Animation on P4350 Like Wing ?
You WANT the wing startup?
I have the HTC startup on my Wing. lol
Or are you just wanting to have an animated startup animation?
take this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=360327
From my understanding, we couldn't change this without recooking the rom. I was experimenting with this once, and nothing worked. If I'm wrong, please please please someone let me know how to do this.
WHICH splash screen? Technically, there's three. I can show you how to change all three.
EDIT: The first one requires you to flash your device with a custom splash screen. The second and third I've only done while cooking but I don't see why they wouldn't work as cab files or done manually...
ok, well, I just made a cab to change the first bootscreen.
3? I know of 2...
Do you know what the registry entry and the file name is for the second bootscreen? In the original Tmo rom, it was green Windows with a circle.
There's also the PrimarySplash.nb bootscreen.... I'm not home right now and I don't know if that information survived my PC "issue"... we'll see.
I think I was not clear enough.
I have tried installing Animated startup on my P4350 but it just not smooth, there is kind of a jump when the animation start.
I replaced the the animation dll's with the one's from a elf rom and it works very smooth but then you loose the vibration.
Has any one experience this before.
The rom I am using is based on the original herald rom not the wing rom.
I also tried the Wing rom and replaced the TMO_Startup animation with another Gif file and it also jumps at the begining with a screen flicker.
The Startup animation I want to use is the elf animation.
Please advice
Best Regards
It would be nice if someone figured this out. I think we've all been under the impression this wouldn't work at all, but maybe it will work.

It is possible
-To stop the Startup Animation Delete the following registry key and it will not work anymore.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\StartupAnimation]
- The Attachment is HTC Splash Screen which I made from Elf Startup Animation in NBH format and RUU Flasher included
Regards
Post the files you are refering to so I can take a look at them, please. Thank you.
Its not the Startup Animation that I want to eliminate. Its the first splash screen -- the T-Mobile screen I want to get rid of. Its not possible.

Here you are, The RvBCrS HTC Startup Animation.cab I found somewhere here in the forum.
It works without Sound but have to delete the Flags Key in HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\HtcInit.
Also there is a Jump at the begining of the startup animation.
When I replace the StartupAnimationEngine.dll with the Elf Dll, The Animation is very smooth but you loose the vibration.
Same issue if I replace all the DLL's with Elf Dll's, Also loose vibration but animation is very smooth and still no sound also.
Best Regards

Ever since I got my TMO Wing 2 weeks ago I've been trying to replace the 1st boot splash with a custom graphic. I've managed to get it working with other people's ROMs (ie. Open Touch & Touch-IT) so I know it is somehow possible.
The Spash Only rom for HTC above has also worked successfully. However, I still cannot get a custom graphic converted to nbh and flashed to the device no matter what I try.
Can you provide the steps on how you made the ROM for the HTC Spash from the ELF Startup? or let me know what I need to do to my BMP to get it into a valid NBH?
Everything I do gives a ERROR [328] : INVALID COMMAND at the end of the flash.
I have a TMO Wing
IPL - 4.10.0002
SPL - 4.10.0000
I use HERALD-USPL-beta3 and it works for all ROMs but my own.
I've tried Splash Screen Changer and nb_image_converter.exe with HTC_ROM_Tool to no avail.
Custom BMP Properties:
width 240
height 320
resolution 71 dpi
Bit Depth 24
