Replace Windows Logo image

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.

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.

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

HELP!!! tri-color appears on my HTC P4350

hello...
gud day to everyone..
Pls help me on how to get rid of this tri-color that appears on the screen of my htc p4350 with an IPL 4.17.0002 and SPL 4.17.0000 written on it.. I really don't know what to do with this problem.. help me pls. pls. pls.
thank u so much..

1. This is the development forum. Your post is not a development post.
2. This has been covered a million times. Please search.
3. The tri-color screen is your bootloader. What did you do in the first place to get to this point? The more information about your problem that you give, the easier it is for everyone else to figure out what happened.

Hello..
Thank you for the reply...
I'm so sorry for posting in a wrong thread... What happened was.. I accidentally installed a wrong application on my phone.. The application I installed was for HTC touch.. so it was not compatible on my phone.. Everytime I turned on my phone the tri color screen appears and it displayed on the screen all the time.. I could not also hard reset the phone because of that tri color..
Pls help me what to do.. thanks much..

What "application" was it? Was it a ROM? Was it a HardSPL?
If it was a ROM, just flash another ROM.
If it was a HardSPL, search for "Goldcard" and create a goldcard.

hello..
The application I installed was the Touch-flo application.. But the application was saved on the memory card.. when I run the application, its when the tri color starts to appear..
Thanks much...

Can you give me an exact link to the application that you used?

Sorry I could not anymore remember what site it was.. It's been 6 months now that my phone was not working... It's only today that I discovered this site and I was so happy coz maybe u can help me..
thanks

Without knowing what program you used, it will be harder to figure out how to fix it.
The only thing I can say is:
1a) try to flash a Herald ROM through SD (read the walkthrough) (if your device is HardSPL'd)
1b) try to flash the stock ROM through SD (read the walkthrough) if your device isn't HardSPL'd)
2) If you still can't get past the bootloader screen, try searching for the word "goldcard" and follow those instructions on how to create a goldcard. You can use the goldcard to restore your phone back to working condition.

i'll try these options..
thank u so much..

hi ivan.. i have some questions regarding gold card.. i'm really new to this & don't have that much idea.. hope you can help me... thanks..
I have done the previous steps but I couldn't get this..

[help]flashing hd2 with custom boot and splash images

Hello everyone.
I was going to learn how to flash my hd2 to personalize boot and splash image.
I can't deny that i'm a bit confused.
I readed some guide here, like 'how to flash everything' and 'flashing your first leo 512mb' but there is not explained how to proceed to change boot and splash images.
Let's go then to know more about it.
First at all i got that i need to install HSPL2 on the device.
Doing this, we will able us to flash everything on the hd2.
But there are also other progs that i do not undestand if i can use instead the HSPL2, like leo_CustomRUU, or SSPL_RUU.
Maybe can be helpful if someone tell me/us ( noobs ) what is better and easy to use.
After this, there are two 'images' that we can personalize:
-the first is when we turn on the device, with the htc logo and the hand writing word;
-the second, the Windows word on the red desktop color.
The first is the boot image, the second the splash screen.
Is it right?
Okay, if it's correct, i suppose that we need to 'operate' on two different kind of 'image file'.
I downloaded a .zip file that contains various kind of images ( static ) with .nbh extension.
That are splash images, so it will change only the splash image.
I don't know if i can use it directly without rename it, if i must put that file in a specific position on the device or only in the sd root ( formatted ), and then launch the progs ( what kind? ).
Yes...need help for this.
Thanks
p.s sorry for my poor english

hspl2 unlocks the phone for flashing.
sspl is a one shot alternative to hspl, you don't need it.
customruu is a slightly altered version of the rom loader that comes with official roms. it is altered to allow flashing cooked roms.
you flash boot image just like roms, and it is actuallya small rom.(no hard reset needed, doesn't affect your rom at all.)
there are three parts to the boot screens, as you correctly noted, only the first part is flashed, the second and third are changed within your setup by cabs or replacing image files.

i see.
well i downloaded HD2 splash screen V1.zip ( inside the link that you posted here ) and inside it there is already Custom_RUU.
I think then that i must use it to flash the custom splash on the device.
Right?
and...i must put the .nbh file not inside the sd card, but in the device root.

i successfully installed HSPL ( not hspl2 ) on my device.
Now i'm trying to flash the device with an .nbh image, for the splash screen.
My doubt is:
1- where to put the .nbh file
2- if i need to copy custom_ruu.exe also inside the device where is located the .nbh file and then launch another copy of it from my pc.
I did it but the custom_ruu.exe tell me to upgrade the rom from 1.66 to 1.0...
a bit strange i think....or not?
thanks

to flash roms and splashscreens - put the nbh into a folder with customruu (customruu usually comes with the rom, if not use one from another download, all customruu.exe's are the same)
just those two files in folder, run customruu as administrator, done.

i was a little afraid when the app told me to 'update' the rom to 1.0 hehe.
ok then, it's flashed
well, it's also possible to modify the Windows on red background image in some way?
i just installed an .nbh image that allow me to modify the standard htc logo, then a .cab with a post simulation ( like a pc post; unfortunately if i do an hard reset i must reinstall it.... ), but i didn't found nothing for the Windows on the red background colour.
Thanks a lot again for your support

hehe, ignore what it says in the update version bit, its usually blank or wrong.
about the other two images, and re: ' have to reinstal it when hard reset', , , well yea, cos theyre adjustments to the loaded rom, the first part is unconnected, youd get that even if there were no rom, after task29 for instance.

do you know if it's possible to change also the Windows word on the red background?
it's the last image that appear before the sense interface start to load.
i didn't find thread that talk about the possibility to change it or not.
thanks

sorry no idea, i've never tweaked that. i flash too often for it to be an issue.

ok then.
i'll bump this thread with the hope that someone can help us.
The last question is:
it's possible to change with a flashing ( maybe permanent modify then ) the Windows word on red background?
Thanks to you sam for your help, and to those that will answer to this last question

The windows splash screen is a file called welcomehead.png in the windows directory. Just replace this with an image of your choice and it'll be changed.

im pretty sure i can answer that question as no, you cant modify it so that it survives a hard reset without cooking, and then flashing the cooked results, you cant modify the rom. you would need to get the rom in a kitchen, repolace the images, cook the rom and flash it.
In reality, of course, all you need do is keep your replacement images on your sd card, then copy them back after the hard reset.,

in fact i tryed to delete the welcomhead.png, but nothing to do, even if i change the permission with total commander...
i think that there is no easy way to replace it ( aside to cook a ROM with a different image and then install the modified ROM ).
i think ill give up about this...ill keep the standard ( and not really good looking ) Windows word....
thanks to you all

rather than delete the original which you can't cos it's in the rom, just copy replacement over it, that should work.

O2 splash screen
bump... related questions:
1. It's been a while, when I had the TP1, I used Schaps Advanced Config v3.3 to change the 2nd and 3rd items, does v3.3 still work for the HD2 ?
2. Does anyone have the O2 Splash screen GIF with animated rising bubbles? I had it in a samsung flip phone, searched but could not find a WVGA one. Searched Youtube came up blank. something like this on the O2 XDA
3. These are the 2 threads I used on the TP1, I don't think the HD2 has an equivalent thread:
