My attempts at some ActionScreen graphics

Version 2. I wanted to make it look a little less "busy" so I gave it more of a see-through effect and each button is very slightly different, fitting in with a complete screen image, if you see what I mean.
Also matched the ROM colour better.
B/W version added as an alternative
Unzip files and copy to /Windows using TotalCommander or something similar.
As usual, every button you press on your PDA is at your own risk ;-)
Hope you like them

I like this one, good work

I like what you have done so I did as instructed... now how to I get it? Sorry for the obviously not smart question but I've been up since 7am yesterday and it's now 915am... yes time for bed! My brain isn't working!

have you already installed HTC ActionScreen?

Do that first, otherwise you don't actually have the application ;-)

Very nice - I like them!

This fits my our ROM nicely!

Hey DaVince - where did you get those HTC Home icons from? They look great!

which launcher is that below the htc home plugin? I'm currently using claunch, but that one looks good.

Plugins shown in order:
1. HTC Home
2. Quick Launcher
3. Windows Mobile 6.1 Getting Started
4. Device Owner
It's the WM 6.1 ROM for the Touch Dual by tom_codon. Once officially released, I'm sure somebody will extract them and post it here.

Good Work....
Tks for sharing!!!

Thanks for sharing
U the man. I copied all AS files excepts for the AS_Bkgd_1.brn file and found a very nice result. Your new graphic on top of the old one. Very nice. Tried it.
Thanks again.

what am I doing wrong? I installed the app, copied files to windows and still showing the old skin.

Black?

Please, it is possible to create black version of this awesome graphics? I am lame for this graphical stuff

I'll see if I have time
See first post for b/w version

also.. anyone have a better icon for Action Screen app?
The default is only that boring white square

To replace the icon
I think you have to use a Resource Editor.
Correct me if I'm wrong somebody?

Changing the icon of a .lnk file

I was wondering this exact thing the other day!
edit the .lnk file to have this:
48#"\Windows\HTCActionScreen.exe"?<Path of icon or DLL>,<index of that icon>
Go to http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5154243&messageID=9583160 for more details. They talk about it in the last 2 or 3 posts.
@davehutch - I love the Action Screen graphic. I'm using it and pumped!

Nice graphics. Thanks a lot

[SPLASH] iPhone Killer Splashscreen

iPhone Killer Splashscreen​
i created a Splashscreen for my diamond so i thought id share it with you guys
All credit goes to Lucchini for creating the original image, i just edited it slightly and made it in to a flashable file!!
Note: This is a replacement for the initial splahscreen when you switch on your handset not the HtC animation or the windows loading screen, Just flash the .nbh file with the custom ruu in the zip

Nice, thank you!

Hi long time reader and not many posts.
Im a bit unsure of this i clicked on the RUU installer and all I get is a grey screen with a percent bar on it that doesnt move. Is this normal and how do I stop it? I realise that Im a bit green on this as I thought it would be as easy as installing a CAB file.
Thanks
Jason

can someone create the same for htc p3400i???
its dam cool...

[ Boot sequence ] WVGA Windows 7 Animations & Sound

Hi guys,
If you guys were like me and looking for a way to get as close as you can to the Windows 7 boot sequence, then look no further. After scouring through XDA's search engine, filtering the posts, and then editing what I've found, I'm here to share with everyone the finished product of my findings.
I've also included the original unlocked Touch HD files (animation.gif, welcomehead.192.png, BootUpHTC.wav) should you ever want to revert back.
Simply unzip Windows 7.zip and you'll get a Windows 7 folder. In there, you'll see three items: animation.gif, welcomehead.192.png, BootUpHTC.wav. Copy these three items into the Windows folder. I recommend using Resco Explorer to do the process. Voila, you're done.
And of course, many thanks to the following people* for sharing the initial works.
Enjoy guys!
Tested on: Unlocked Touch HD T8282
*Credits:
-remyc for first kicking it off!
-itajackass for sharing the WVGA startup gif animation.
-trodert for sharing the startup sound.
If you're interested in knowing what I did:
The things that I've done from the original post which sparked my initial interest is that the welcomehead192 image is the last frame in the animation.gif (gives a nice smooth & straight boot into WM). I've also corrected the sound file I got from that post. The right channel cracked so I converted the left channel to mono and corrected the pitch changes, etc (to also be in sync with the format of the original sound file: 352kbps, 16 bit, Mono, 22 khz, PCM). In terms of formatting, the new files are completely identical to the original stock files.

Thank for share, i like this splash theme

tks so much. works perfect on x1.
just made a cab o share

Hi guys,
I'd like to let everyone know that I've added a third file to the original two : Windows 7 Corrected. In this version, I've tweaked the startup sound because I personally felt it did go with the flow of the animation.
The corrected version flows much better and there isn't that little soft crack 0.6 seconds into the startup sound (which ruins it in my opinion) as a result of the sound drivers starting up or something.
Enjoy guys and let me know how the corrected version fares! I know I'm anal like that but I hope you guys enjoy it!
Cheers.

DJ,
I'm not sure how it would work on WM6.5 as I have no way of testing that right now. I'm still currently on my first stock ROM.
I'm sorry mate. But try looking in your windows folder and see if you the files animation.gif, etc.
What program did you use to copy the files in?
Cheers.

Active sync...

now if only someone could get the Windows 7 shutdown animation

many many thanks from the Greece

Looks (and sounds) great!

T-Mobile USA HD2 (STOCK ROM) Compatible Boot Animations?

So, I've been searching for a few days now... in order to find a suitable SPLASH SCREEN and BOOT ANIMATION to replace the T-Mobile USA standard, "Stick Together"... and the similar animation that follows. I haven't really come across anything that has been reported to WORK PROPERLY and NOT turn the device into a fancy paperweight. I'm wondering if anyone has found an alternative set of SPLASH SCREENS and BOOT ANIMATIONS that are compatible with the T-Mobile USA model, if so... I would greatly appreciate your assistance, or at least a point in the right direction.
Now, with that said... I'm also trying to figure out if there is a REGISTRY EDIT that can be made to ENABLE the BOOT ANIMATION once more, as I have disabled that function using BsB Tweaks v1.6 - and when I tried to enable the feature again, it does NOT work, even after the obvious soft reset that follows.
If anyone has insight on this topic, please don't hesitate to offer your advice. Thank you.

i've been wondering the same thing, without any results. Also looking for decent apps for the HD2. everything looks like the old windows mobile though.

I had the same exact problem when I used BsB Tweaks. The problem is that when you try to turn it back on BsB enters the wrong filename in the registry and thus it cannot be found and loaded.
What you need to do is to use a regedit tool and go into "HKEYLM\Software\HTC\HTCAnimation" and change the value for "StartupGIF" to "\Windows\startup480-800.gif". Reboot and you should be back to the way it was.
If you want to change the animation you can put any animated 480x800.gif in "\Windows\" and point to it with the above specified registry edit.
To find animations I did a google image search for .gif files and specified the image size to be 480x800. You should find a lot. I put the original HTC quietly brilliant startup animation and a couple others and went back to the original one. BTW, you can change the shutdown animation by changing "ShutDownGIF" in the same registry location.
Good luck and let me know if you need more info.

Sorry, I forgot to mention how to change the other startup pictures.
There is basically 3 startup screens that can be changed on the TMOUS HD2 (probably also Euro/Asia version too):
#1- First static screen that shows the magenta TMO square and text
#2- Second animated screen that I explained how to change above
#3- Third static screen with the windows mobile logo.
As far as I can tell #1 (first screen) can only be changed via ROM flash.
Again, #2 explained in previous post.
To change #3 (third and last screen):
Place two identical 480x800.png files (make sure it's .png) named "xxxx.png" and "xxxx.192.png" (change xxxx to your filename) in "\windows\" and point to it by changing the registry value in "HKEYLM\Software\Microsoft\Spash Screen" change "CarrierBitmap" to your "\windows\xxxx.192.png" file and "MSBitmap" to your "\windows\xxxx.png" file.
I made my own .png that shows my contact info and increased the "CarrierTimeout" and "MSTimeout" so it would show a little longer. Long shot in getting it back if lost, but it can't hurt, and it can't easily be removed unless they know what they're doing.

Thank you very much for all of this information.
Now, I'm curious as to how I am supposed to "point" or direct said files via registry? Do I need to store the .gif and .png replacements on my SD CARD or DEVICE? And once I've edited the registry with the EXACTLY MATCHED NAMES of the replacement files; will the device permanently "look" to that directory and LOAD the images/animations from that location?
Thanks again.

Oh, and I almost forgot...
I was looking for something like this, however... I cannot just "install" these .CAB files to alter the Booting Animation, or could I?
Here's the thread that has the ideal animations:

When I say point, what I mean is that when you go into the registry key, for example "HKEYLM\Software\Microsoft\Spash Screen" and you click on "CarrierBitmap" you'll change the value to "\windows\xxxx.png" so now it's "pointing" to that file. Hope that makes sense. I'm sure it'll be clear when you go into it with your regedit software. Your basically changing that particular registry entry to look at the file you specify, like a shortcut.
All these files need to go into your "\windows\" folder on your phone, NOT your SD card.
Until you change the registry manually or by flashing a new ROM it will permanently "look" at the file you enter in the registry.

Those are great, I've used them, so I know they work.
Forget the .cab files and do it manually via the method I explained. You can right click the animation in that thread and save it and rename and use as I specified. You can also download the file you need instead of right clicking, get the .gif file not the .cab from that thread.

Thanks once more for all of the instructions.
I'm going to give this a whirl. It's my first time ever messing with such modifications. I used to create and flash alternative boot animations and splash screens on my Android devices, but this will be my "cherry popping" moment on the Windows Mobile platform. AWESOME!
I'm quite certain others will find your advice very useful as well.

You're welcome.
I would suggest anyone doing this should keep the original files as is in case you ever need to go back for whatever reason. Basically, don't delete the original files, just rename the new files and "point" to them.

Alright. Everything worked out just fine. Thanks to your detailed instructions, I managed to change absolutely everything forementioned.
This should quite literally become a STICKY POST because those instructions were very thorough and easy to understand. Anyway, thanks again... I'm finally able to enjoy powering down my device, JUST to watch it boot up again.

Do the cabs not work? Any reason not to use them?

I think some work. The problem with some of the cabs is that they were made for the Euro/Asia HD2 and the path and files in the US HD2 is different. That's why when you turn off the animation and turn it back on in BsB it does not work.

Quick question
Excellent directions and I have now put in some really cool animated .Gifs and JPEGs however I neglected to write down the name of the original Splash screen files that were for "Carrier Bitmap" and "MS Bitmap" In case I HAD to revert.
Do you know these?
Thanks in advance.

I don't understand, can someone make a usa Tmobile HD2 cab file with the htc animation??? please? It would make my life easier!

I'd just like to replace them all with black versions because I often start my phone in low light, and the 100% default brightness is often a retina-cooking extreme.
Initial boot Black background/HTC Green logo.
Is that an option?

Fellas, please...
READ the first few posts, and you'll find every detail necessary in order to alter the animations and splash screen. After reading it, RE-READ IT!
It took me about two or three times of reading it to gain a thorough understanding of the instructions.
You don't learn to hack... you have to HACK to LEARN!

The only thing I have left to change is the initial splash on startup, and since that has to be changed via flash, does anyone have a black version with custom RUU?
The other two I have changed successfully, but that initial splash is still white.

Bootanimation for CM6

Here is my variant of bootanimation.
For them, who notice it in CM7 tread: this is fixed version, tested on my phone (sorry i was doing it first time).
There is else a gif preview in draft quality. I hope you enjoy it!
How to setup: (for such noobs as me )
1. Install some file explorer with root access (I used eStrongs)
2. Replace the file bootanimation.zip placed in folder system/media
3. Reboot
P.S. I think everybody are welcome to post here your bootanimations.

Thank you
WOOOOOOOHAAAA! I just tried and it is good I like it! GREAT! and thank you for this

that's great job
just a suggestion, can't we have something specific to our device?
like "android photon" or "photon powered by android" or something

Thanks Puxus, perfect official like every things is great!
just one small, if could in picture "A" or "part1", I think the Android Text should have another effect... a simple or fading..Laser.
& Robin, don't you think better way without specific as you said? cause for official like or see other phone you looked.
you're free to say your likes

Thanks all of you guys! I`m very glad you like it!
-r0bin-, actually, for me it`s more usefull to call my phone hd mini. I really don`t know why its called photon. So what do you think about some small text under Android logo: htc hd mini loading...
Else I have an idea to make android logo, not green but yellow, as our phone is inside, what do you think about it?
iPlasm, I`ll make another one simple version whith just fading effect, just in a few days.

Very very good animation but maybee adding text for our phone maybe htc hs mini will be great?

I made several new variations of bootscreen. I try to follow some of your requests, have fun!
P.S. Gif previews are inside of rar
