boak is right if those files are cooked into the rom, you can replace it though using resco explorer or total commander. but if those files are installed by a cab, you can delete them for sure

Any ideas how to change the boot image on the prophet?
changing boot image
Got this info from PPCSG - so all credit goes to them (especially farbird). This changes the 2nd splash screen (the one with the windows logo on the blue background). The HTC/Dopod splash screen which appears after every reset is still there.
1) copy the welcome96.png file to your desktop from ppc. edit it... do not change the dimensions.
2) save that edited file as 'welcomehead.961.png' and copy it into your ppc /windows folder.
3) open total commander in ppc. go to windows folder, tap on hold on the original welcomehead.96.png, click properties, uncheck all the boxes under attributes. select ok.
4) total commander will refresh the directory, rename it now to 'welcomehead.962.png'. After that look for your edited file copied from the pc ie welcomehead.961.png.. rename it to welcomehead.96.png. after that, tap and hold and click on properties. check the box that says " read only, hidden, system "
once that is done, do a soft reboot. u should be able to see your new bootup screen after the rom version is up.
There is another way using activesync, but it didn't work for me as it gives me a write-protect error.
Do a search here @ xda-dev, u shld get the same info...
Hi,
this does not work on GER Vodafone ROM 2.15.3.26 cause welcome.96.png is in the rom part and not deletable.

Yes, that file is a ROM file and cannot be deleted. BUT if you use TotalCommander, you can rename that file to something else, rename your new splash image file to welcome.96.png, copy it to your windows folder and set its attributes to read only, system, & hidden. AND the changes will be permanent. Try it.
The reason it being a ROM file is why I was unable to copy & paste using the activesync method. But the way I did it works. Make sure you use Total Commander & not resco explorer or the built-in file explorer

Hi Pruta,
O.K., now I was able to rename welcome.96.png and replaced it with my PNG.
Softreset... Sh*t, the 'old' welcome.96.png was shown. O.K., my device wants war...it gets war .
I was able to DELETE the old (original) welcome.96.png.
Softreset... Aaaaahhhhh nothing changed!
O.K. continued search. I found a file named welcomehead.96.png, that is the same image than the original welcome.96.png.
The only prob is, I'm NOT able to rename or delete/replace it.
Are there anybody that also use the Vodafone rom and can test to change the boot image???
Attached file is welcomehead.96.png
If you can change the attributes to exclude System, and Read-Only, it should be able to change/remove it.
Hi krale,
nope. It's not possible to change the attributes. See attached MPG.
I was able to do it with total commander...
here is the link

thanks for the credit, Putra.
Appreciated.
Do not delete, but overwrite
@farbird: Sure, bro - after all it was your post @ PPCSG that helped me change the splash screen.
Important: do no delete the welcomehead file as it is ROM file, and it will automatically be created again. The trick is to overwrite the file with another file but with EXACTLY the same name and attributes (except ROM). So Windows will not try to create the file again.
After you change the attributes of the original welcomehead file, NO NEED to check if it has changed - Total Commander will show it as NOT changed (meaning all the check marks are still present).
Just go ahead and rename that file, then rename your splash image file to welcomehead.96.png, and set the attributes, and it should work.
I used this trick to "delete" a useless movie file: 1-nature_15fps.mp4 (274K, I think). I created an empty txt file called 1-nature_15fps.txt (0B), copied into the windows folder, performed the trick, and now I have a 1-nature_15fps.mp4 file which is 0 bytes! Just a little experiment, which may come in handy if you really need the space.
Hope the above explains things a little.
HELP!! How to change 1st Splash and HTC splash

Can anybody help me in full details, step by step and straight commands

Welcome ksadek
read the xda wiki to find out what CID IPL and SPL are
Hi
I'd like to edit the file Preconfig.txt in \Windows. This file is protected. Is there any way to make a file in \Windows writable?
Thank you
Jean-Yves
If I recall correctly, you can copy the file out of the windows directory to another directory and then paste it back over the top of the protected one and then you can edit it.
I may be wrong though, so sorry if I'm leading you up the garden path!
What Codenix said is true, if the file is inside the ROM.
If the file is 'protected' in terms of attributes, you can use Total Commander to disable the attribute first.
I tried removing the read-only/system attributes in Total Commander in some \Windows files on my x01ht, but every time the attributes are reseted back! How to avoid this?!?
yes i have the same problem with you~~
although i use active sync to copy the files to ppc \windows
it also block me and say protected
and i want to copy a new phcanOverbmp.dll replace the old one....
what should i do???
can some brother help~!!!
Some files are in use and cant be unprotected and written over in this manner.. the only way to do it when it fails like that is to cook your own rom... which we are still trying to do, but get closer every day
And for the phcanOverbmp.dll we have cabs in the upgrading forum for this.. read here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=287829
and why if i want to edit my start menu items from ASync it don't work?
The files are unprotected but from active sync explorer i can't delete/move it... with resco explorer there are no problems!..
Also.... it interrupt file transfers if i try to copy thumbs.db.. included in win folders :x

I had the same problem - ActiveSync seems to not have the necessary rights for these files. The methods described here solved the problem for me. Yes, the text behind the link talks about problems with registry access, but the reasons and solutions for both problems are the same.

That may or may not be the same problem. I would guess thumbs.db may just be in use (i.e., opened).

Well i've been trying to modify the weather cities file so the list will be a lot shorter and only contain the cities that are important to me. but when I try to remove the read-only property with total commander, nothing happens. because of this property, I can't change anything about this file, can't move it, delete it of replace it with a modified version I have on my desktop. Has anyone got an idea? It should work this way on a normal HTC touch, but my Dual won't cooperate
and in addition: How can I modify the register with Total commander? I read here or on another forum it should be possible, but I can't find that option. or are there better programs to do that?
Not sure about #1 but for the registry you can use Resco Explorer
About the weather, is there a way to update the data without using the HTC Home plugin ? I use SPB v4 and S2U2 that can display the weather on its screen saver.
The registry problem has been fixed. I now know how to enter the register with total commander. (use the \ button then go to the folder \\ and there you will find the folder register)
but I still can't edit the HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml file. is there maybe another way to remove the read only property of this file?
can you change attributes with total commander?
That's what I'm trying to do. When I look into the properties of the file, the attribute for Read only, system and in rom are checked. According to a howto I read somewhere, I have to remove the read only attribute. When I do that, and press te OK button in the screen (not the one in the upper right corner) and then open the properties of the file again, the read only attribute is checked again.
edit:
I gave it a try from my pc with altap Salamander 2.5 to change the attribute -> it gives me an access denied error. somehow I'm not allowed to change anything in the windows folder?
edit 2:
Installed SPB pocked plus 4 and tried to change the attributes of t he file with the enhanched file explorer: Same problem, nothing is changed when I re-open the properties of the file. when I try to rename it, it tells me the file might be in use or the memory is full or write protected. I've closed the HTC today plugin and there's enough free space. the only thing is, the file is read-only
No one has tried this on his touch dual? hmm... and no one has any idea to remove the read only attribute of the file?
I have the same problem. Can't remove the read-only status of the WeatherCities files using TotalCommander or Resco FE.
Anyone?
Possible sollution
There is a HTC Home Plugin Customizer. With this piece of software you can modify the look and feel of the HTC Home plugin and also edit in the weather file and insert your own city instead of the preselected cities by HTC.
Here's a link to the download.
http://www.pocketemu.com/download4.html
Hope that this solves your problem.
I have resolved the problem
Copy HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml on your pc do the modification and rename it on HH_0409_WeatherCities2.xml .
copy HH_0409_WeatherCities2.xml on your ppc in the same folder and rename it with resco .
Hi, a little help here needed.
When i tried to do no. 38, when overwriting the file, an error was prompt up stating that "Error Copying File: Access is denied. Be certain that there is enought free storage memory, that the destination is not write protected and that the file is not currently in use."
I have already turn of HTC sense in Today Settings already.
Thanks =D
__________
38. Disable Extra Animation on Clock
Everytime you refresh the home screen, the flip clock starts 1 hour and 2 minutes back to show off the flip animation. You can disable this extra animation so it only flips when it needs to flips. Download the modified manila file at the end of this post. Disable HTC Sense in Today settings. Backup original Windows file (you are going to overwrite) to your SD card. Extract downloaded file to Windows directory on your device (overwriting the original). Enable HTC Sense again in today settings.
Are you using File explorer ? If so, it cannot be done. Use Resco Explorer or Total Commander to overwrite such files
wooo thanks alooooot. =D

Hi guys!
I have this problem: I saw that the keyboard the character "°" ( example n° or °C), but I need it in my technical notes.
Does anyone know if I can put it in the registry keys?
Thanks in advance
Are there are any solutions?
Hi,
I found the right file to edit to get the character, but they are "read-only".
So, I can modify it when I make a copy on pc but I can't modify the files on the ROM.
Does anyone know how I can do it?
Make a copy, edit, copy back to original location, "overwriting" the current one (it doesn't really overwrite, if you were to delete it later the original would be used instead).
Thanks kilrah.
I tried this way (I made a backup copy of files) but I can't overwrite the original ones because they are "read-only".
On PC I can change this attribute and then, edit and save the files.
On device I can't change this attribute or overwrite the files
Dam you're right, I don't have the ° char on my italian keyboard as well... as unlikely it is I will be needing to write it on my hd2... how silly is that for HTC not to have included that symbol?

Copy the file on the device itself. What I mean is if you try to overwrite a file in the \Windows directory from the PC through Activesync it won't work. With the file explorer on the device itself, it should.
The files for Italian keyboard should be 0C09.xml (portrait) and 0D09.xml (landscape).
It is right?
