my latest welcomehead.96 Splash screens (Added more portrait screens)

I just Upgraded to sprint new ROM 2.17 , it has HTC logo in black background 1st and sprint animated logo in black 2nd , then comes this green windows mobile logo, I hate it I Made this windows mobile splash screens to match the rest, tought to share them with you guys. 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 bootscreen is very nice. Can you also make standard size (320x320 pixels) version - for people that start their devices in landscape mode?

Flashed it straight away, beautifull dude

I have SKTools Registry Explorer. How do you movie it over to replace the old one? Is it possible to rename and modify the registry to acquire it?

It looks amazing, can you do the same image without the windows mobile and windows sign ? (my idea is to create today theme from 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?

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)
wait..... JUST FOUND THIS....See here:-

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!

The bootscreen is good. If you're loading it up and showing someone then they definitely know it's Windows Mobile !

Yes, it can be changed.
You have to replace a small sound-file within the windows-folder.
I think, it's the BootUpHTC.wav

D-jay nice & thanks !
Could you maybe make a CAB whit this image ?
Thanks allready !

does anyone have the original WinMo screen but with a blue background? would be nice =P .. how would i replace it in the cab?

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?

nice piece of work, win mo vanished... thanks a lot!

Thanks. It's much better.

you don't need a cab file just
use total Commamder to rename the file to
welcomehead.192.png
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?

New update with "Worstenbrood - TF3d Stanby" include auto standby work now!!!

thansk !!! try whit me tilt !

Trying to get this going on nike.
Installed all three cabs.
Noted mortscript is installed.
Cannot see any sign of the other two cabs installed except that they are listed in 'remove programs'
Pushing power button following a reboot doesn't do anything (except the usual standby, crashing tf3d)
Would love to see if this is better than tf3dstandby.exe by itself. I'd be much obliged for any help. Good standby is a key missing piece re tf3d on nike, and I guess other models

Almost there
By using Cab Analyser I could see an implication that Short_Power.lnk is a main method of usage
I see on another topic that Short_Power.lnk in the Windows folder is a standard way of assigning executables to keys.
Unfortunately on my touch dual this trick doesn't work
Anyone know a registry setting to turn the lnk file feature on...or other way?
I can run the lnk files manually no problem
