There are plenty of threads for wallpapers and today screen images. Would it be possible to start a thread for custom splash screens and startup animations? I have found a couple that are definite improvements over the stock stuff. Maybe some of the more creative people show off their shoop skills and make some? What does everyone think?
Splash Screen:
If not I have added the tools necessary for it in this:
Download
Quick walkthrough on how to use the tools:
1.Create your own bmp splash screen.
2.Use the tool in folder Number 1 rsbbmp, add the file and convert to rsb format.
3.Open the tool called Splash-RSB Converter Convert and save you should have a .nb file.
4. Open folder labeled Number 2 Use the tool and do da following:
-Target device POLARIS.
-On model ID instead of POLA change to DIAM.
-On version replace the Polaris part to Diamond.
-Leave the rest the same.
On the right side go to: splash and select the .nb file you created.
Hit Build NBH
ALL SET now you have a flashable file.
5. Open the last folder labeled 3.
There you will find the flashing tool.
Its easier and faster(less than a minute) to flash directly from internal memory like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2707841&postcount=4035
Flash and you are done. Like making a little ROM.
PS: If you **** up your device dont blame me all at your own risk.
All credits go to tool creators (you guys kick some serious ass thanks)
Enjoy.

I too think this would be a great idea!!!
Where would I find out how to change it? I have some graphics and sounds that I would like to replace the startup and shutdown with... I just got my Diamond Pro three days ago and can't put it down! lol

I have to be honest, I have no idea about any of the files you posted here. I appreciate the help though. I just renamed the file to welcomehead.192.png and dropped it into the windows folder on the device. Everything worked fine. All of those utilities have me lost. And I certainly dont wanna update my rom and lose all of my information. Thanks bro.

What you basically did is hand us a hammer, a box of nails and some wood and said, here, go ahead, build a house. We're not carpenters.
In less sarcastic words, it would be nice to know how to use these tools...

rename your gif to :animated.gif and put in windows.
use diamondtweak to enable the animation or use totalcomander
and set the registry in:
HKLM\Software\HTC\StartupAnimation:
Code:
Enabled (DWord) : 1
in HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCAnimation:
StartupGif:\Windows\animated.gif
this should work

Install Advance confitoguration and change the animation time .
I took the animation from udK's latest ROM and made the T jump, added the diamond and also put the whole process in reverse order. I notice the difference in the black from the diamond surrounding to the rest, now I'm seeing it on my home PC - rather than work. This is not noticed when on phone. But I hope to change this next week.

Device Data
Just so you all know I took the plunge and used this. USPL first of course
It takes seconds to do and sure enough the image is changed.
No Data loss on my device so can be done over and over again.
Once again. ****DONT FORGET USPL****
But yes it works as stated.
I will say what you see in the image file before updating phone is what you get I had to crop image so that the picturs wasnt distorted.
ENJOY ALL
whaouh !
me like!
many thanks I've been looking for ages for such a tool.
I did found however a small bug not worth fixing.
I was using this tool in the same folder als my radio update nb file. and it flashed the radio insteed of the splash screen.
no harm done exept that I tought for a minute that it didn't work.
I'm using the black & blue 3.7 rom and after the splash screen it switches to a small (animated?!) htc logo.
Im wondering if that is part of the rom subsplash screen (flashable) or its part of windows mobile 6 splash screens. if it is part of the rom then It would be nice to be able to flash it to. otherwise keep it this way.

The animation is based on the file animated.gif located in the windows folder - it is not the second splash. It is just an application from HTC or so.
The small bug - I do not know. The update program is from HTC. Maybe the tool decides on file names which file it will flash. Maybe I will test it...
jvc
Looks a good tool - thanks. I am sure this will find its way into some-ones kitchen I expect quite a few more custom splash screens now
Great tool, thanks. Maybe Stick this post ? Very usefull application.
what are the dimensions of the image? 240x320? I sense an apple boot screen coming up
[edit] just put this together, anyone want to give it a go? I'm not near a syncable computer
Oh dear, the Fanboys are everywhere....
Is there a reason it has to be a bitmap it loads surely any image file should be ok. Then we could have animation in gifs etc

You can load gif, bmp, jpg and so on with this tool. But I convert the picture into a single bmp. So no animation possible. Also I believe it is not possible for the first splash screen.
If you want you only can have an animated gif, when windows starts (animated.gif in windows folder - if the tool from HTC is installed).
jvc
sorry if this is a dumb question, but which tool do you need to have the animated second splash screen?

So again and again... The animated screen (e.g. HTC Logo in b&b 3.7) is NOT the second splash screen. It is a boot gif from windows. It is based on a tool from HTC. You can find the gif in the windows folder (animated.gif). Just choose any paint pogram and creat your own animated gif (e.g. ULEAD GIF Animator) and replace the animated.gif with your own one...

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?
poorlyduck said:
...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 is cool!! I got the same question though, how can I change my splash screen? isn't it in .png format? steps on how to install it and the file would be great!!

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...

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

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?

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!

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.

thx i used ur image on my HD looks dArK!!
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?

woow its looking nice
gonna give it a try
looks amazing, but without landscape support on xperia seems pretty useless. Every time I slide the keyboard wad2 mess up
Well, You can easily build a landscape skin with WAD2
Scroll further down the thread I linked to. There is a landscape version
http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/forum/showpost.php?p=88526&postcount=69
for QVGA, it isn't as perfected as the VGA, but its pretty good.
what about WAD3? is it better? works perfectly in X1? any good theme of WAD3?
I am kind of confused on installing this theme? Do I need to install any programs before using this theme?
Or just need to copy all the theme files into the X1 will do, need some advices on this.
Can anyone confirm if they got this working on Xperia? especially if it does work in landscape after the patches? and which ones for landscape?

qvga landscape on wvga device? No thanks, I stay with my manilaHD tht messes up every time I open my keyboard If a real landscape will be developed I'm going to be #1 supporter, not for now
I have managed to get it installed and copied the landscape files into the respective folder but when I open the keyboard, the landscape mode does not appear anything.
How to change the interface to the one similar to the Windows Vista like the one attached with this thread? Does it appear as a theme or I have to change parts by parts.
Appreciate your advises, thanks.

http://www.imarche.net/omnia/fullpacks.php
not sure why his link has omnia on it but it has the xpiera back, that works with Spb Mobile Shell 1.2.2+
Tried that ChangeSkin
Destroyed my SPB panel. Just didnt work lol. Uninstalled it and the skin was still there and all messed up.
Had to manually uninstall it, delete the panel and reinstall the panel.
Not worth the efford tbh
