Replace Splash w/ New IMate rom

I tired the current utilities, and none of them seem to work. Do they work for anyone?

I guess we will have to patiently wait for someone to find out how to replace the splash screen. Theres 3 screens total now (HTC, i-mate and WM) Will be cool to have 2 splashies.

Well I was using the q-tek test rom, and there were three splash screens on it. But the current tools worked for changing the second splash screen. the third is easy to change. Just copy enablerapi.cab to your device...run...and make a 340x340 image named welcomehead.96.png and copy it into the windows folder on your device.

Cool. i didn't know that. Though I don't mind the third splash screen. I i-mate one is the one I want to swap.

Change the O2 image that shows on boot?

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

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

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!
cheers

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)
Thanks a lot bro...

Here ya go... the original O2 screen

Startup Animation on P4350

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.

I've always wanted to just get rid of the first T-Mobile Splash Screen but I don't think its possible. Stock Rom.

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

Need Help with TMO Wing Spash replacement via Rom

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

Refrence hot to get raid of T-Mobile splash on Diamond. I've got attachment but looks like its not a CAB file. I placed it on the internal memory on HTC but it didn't work.

i havn't downloaded this but i'll take an easy guess based on the file name. this is not a cab file, its a zip file contianing the tools and programs etc needed to make or change the splash screen. hope that helps.

Polaris Custom Splash Screens & How To

Just got my fiancee a new Polaris to replace her Elfin, and decided to give it a little more shine during the bootup process, here's my results.
Just sharing with the community as I think some people might want to use it themselves.
Her Polaris has 3 splashes before Windows appears (I know some may have 4) so that's what I focused on.
Screen 1: changed to a nicer splash I just whipped up in Photoshop.
Screen 2: left alone as the htc .gif is nice.
Screen 3: changed to a nicer 'Starting Windows' screen.
Procedure:
To change the 1st screen, just download 'Polaris Splash.zip' and run 'Polaris_CustomRUU.exe' which will apply the new Cruise logo. (make sure your phone is CID unlocked with HardSPL!) The image fits perfectly along with the System Info that displays in the bottom right corner during boot.
To change the 2nd screen, 99% of the time it is in WINDOWS\animated.gif (I haven't included one as the default one is fine)
To change the 3rd screen, 99% of the time it is in WINDOWS\welcomehead.96.png so all you have to do is download the image and copy/overwrite into your Windows folder on the Cruise.
Hope some enjoy the images, or at least use this guide to change their splashes to their own custom built screens. Enjoy.
EDIT: Added a YouTube video of the bootup -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2r2nlyeEkQ

nice
thank you for sharing

I've changed your splash screen to my welcomehead...
find enclosed my animated.gif which is used for my Pcarvalho Extreme Rom

In order to change the ROM splash... Do I need to unlock my Fuze?
