I have written a batch file for this, so that it takes minimal user input. This tool is only for Touch Pro 2, both GSM and CDMA.
DOWNLOAD TOOL
DOWNLOAD the tool from up there, and extact the folder. Put the folder where ever you want. Then run BharS_Splash.cmd. Choose between CDMA or GSM (c or g (case sensitive)), and your splash screen will be created in nbh format, which can be flashed to your device.
You have to do the below steps to get going.
[/quote]
Extract folder to anywhere you want in your PC.
Grab the pic you want.
Trim it to size 480x800 (WVGA).
The convert it to bmp using MS paint or something.
File should be 24-bit bmp format in order for the below code to work. So save file as 24-bit bmp format.
Rename the file to "Splash.bmp" (Name is real important, if the bmp file is not correct, then the tool wont run)
Now start BharS_Splash cmd prompt
Enter c for CDMA splash screen and g for GSM. Case sentitive
Don't not use this if you don't know what the heck you are doing! Don't hold me responsible if you brick..
Here are some custom boot splash screens. Do let me know if you were able to use it. I have also attached the tools, just for lazy people like me! LOL

Just a comment, maybe it's obvious to everyone, but custom boot splash = very first screen seen after a reset. The subsequent screens, both static and dynamic, can be simply created the correct size and format and put in the \windows directory. So if you want to change the ugly orange windows screen that's shown about ~10s, you can just create a bmp for it.
Thanks for the guide though, good info! It's fun to have a consistant boot splash/loading page/today theme.. It looks like it's "on" from the start.
Cool
Thanx buddy
i keep getting an error reading could not open my.bmp
any idea why?
this is my command
c:\users\paza\splash\nbimg.exe nbimg -p 18400 -w 480 -h 800 -F splash.bmp -D RHOD10000
inside my folder intittled "splash" i have
nbimg.exe, splash.bmp, and custon ruu
i'm running windows 7 and used paint to make the bmp
Do we need to HardSPL unlock first or will the RUU flash fine on it's own?

Not sure why it wont run. I have the same things, but using XP. I havent tried this in Vista. Maybe it has to do with admin settings or something...

Yes I would think so. If you still have stock ROM and no HardSPL, then why bother changing boot splash? Just enoy your stock ROM LOL.

what ended up doing was
typing CD C:\SPLASH + ENTER key to change the command from
<C:\Users\PAZA> to <C:\SPLASH>
( i saved the folder i was working in diretly to C: drive)
<C:SPLASH>nbimg.exe (only type nbimg.exe) +ENTER key
then type nbimg -p 18400 -w 480 -h 800 -F splash.bmp -D RHOD10000 + ENTER key
done...... ow goto the folder and you will see a .nb and a .nbh
check the dimensions of the .nb for size in parenthesis, it should say 786,432 bytes! if it does you goto next step, if not you did something wrong (probably the image you used)
if it is, take the .nbh file copy it in the same folder as custom ruu you got from the first post
now flash
i'm trying to find a good image to use as the orginal t-mobile splash, so if anyone has it let me know

EXACTLY what I was looking for! Thanks!
BTW - I had to use NBHUtil to specify both the splash AND subsplash because I could still see the "Touch Pro 2" screen (with red text at bottom) after my custom screen.

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.

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...

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

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)

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!

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

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.

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:

this should work

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.
[i8190][HOW-TO]-[param-mod]-[BOOTLOGO]
!!Disclaimer!!You will be responsible for your own work. Don't blame me for anything that might go wrong with your phone.
I've done this and it worked just fine, but then again...i'm not you
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ref. and research:
What is param.lfs, and why do we have it?
Param.lfs is needed for the bootloader to go on with the boot. Inside your phone there's a /lfs-partition which works as a image cache for the bootloader. It contains the bootimages, charging, warning, etc etc.
If image is not there it will fail to boot.
After extracting all images in param.lfs with "param-tools" I noticed there was a difference from the param folder in the phone.
One picture was missing in param.lfs.
In "/mnt/.lfs" there is a "logo.jpg" which is nowhere to be found in param.lfs.
View attachment param-extracted.zip
As you see in the zip, all bootimages are very low-res (96X160) but that "logo.jpg" in device is 480X800 so I realized that it must be created inside device on first boot after flash, somehow rendered from the two low-res images inside param.lfs.
I asked a few friends with L/N-models about their logo.jpg and they confirmed that it was there, but of course with the bootimage for their L/N-model.
I copied the "logo.jpg" from device and dd'd the param-partition from device and started searching for that "logo.jpg"...
This is where my work start.
Ok so we all got it, but it's different for all models, right. What if I change the 640X480 "logo.jpg" from the dd'd param instead of edit the small 90X160 model-specific images that other how-to's and mods suggested, which would have to be done for all models.... A total of six images!
This way, edit one 640X480 "logo.jpg" should make it work on all models, and it did!
So, how do we look whats inside param, and what do we look for?
We have to use a hexeditor to be able to do anything. I used HxD. Other editors work as well, but they have different options for copy/paste etc.
A *.jpg in hex always starts with "FF D8" and ends with "FF D9" (Ref.)
How to do it..First you'll have to make a "logo.jpg". Choose your tools for that as it will not be covered in this how-to.
Save your created picture as logo.jpg, 480X800, NOT BIGGER THAN 64673bytes. (176241 in octal numbers)
This is only safe with this specific param.(Attached at the buttom of post) Other params may have the picture in different offset.
Open attached param.lfs in HxD.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
We will work with octal values.
Choose edit/select block.
Start:02464000 --> End: 02662240 (The lenght should now be 176241)
Start of block
End of block
Go to File/new. A new empty tab will open.
With the new tab in front -->Edit/insert bytes.
Bytecount must be same as the lenght-value from the block we marked in original param.lfs (176241)
You'll get a notification, just klick yes.
Now we have an empty block in the same lenght as the picture we want to change.
Open your 480X800 logo.jpg in HxD. Right klick/select all, then copy.
Go back to the empty file we made, right klick/paste write. (make sure you runnung HxB in overwrite mode.)
Save it as logo.jpg.
We should now have a new logo.jpg with exact the same lenght as the one in param.lfs.
Copy it the same way we did before, but now you paste write it into the marked space in param.lfs.
Save it as param.lfs and make sure its not bigger than original param.lfs.
You're done!
Now you can open (not unzip) the attached cwm-zip and overwrite the param.lfs in there, and flash in your custom recovery.
The one inside is an inverted i8190 stock image. Black on white background.
Some of the params I've made so far. Here you'll also find odin flashable params if anything goes wrong. Download mode will still be accessable.
I believe this should work for other Samsung devices as well, with their specific param, and the right offsets for that param.
Thanks to @ketut.kumajaya for param-tools, @DemonWav for reference for where to start.
Same procedure, different values..

Haha. I'm no hex guru either :silly: Still learning.
I'll see if I can make one with Bless Hex Editor in linux and make a how-to for that also
Glad to know, as a reference my script useful here. How about creating a param.lfs as a base for param-tools, so no need any hex editor for a different boot logo.

Yes, param-tools is really a great tool Thank you for that!
I do't know much about scripts but it's a good idea
Do you mean like put the param and new logo.jpg in a folder, run a command to insert it to param?

Hello tys0n, any chance I could get you to PM me an odin or cwm flashable param.lfs for the T599n? I am trying to get Cygwin / param tools to work but my system just isn't up to the task. Greatly appreciated and keep up the great work!
Hi. I think I only got a param for T-Mobile.
T599n is metro, right?
If yours is fine then maybe you can make a backup, zip it, and attach it here so I can take a look at it

That is true. You can make a request, or give me a pm if you want any help to make one, or if you don't want to share your image with the whole forum.

I will update this guide soon! I'm now using "010 Editor" which is both powerful and available for windows, osx and linux. I will add empty templates with correct fileize where you can just paste/overwrite with your new image. I will add values for all i8190-models and SGH-T599 models. If you got more ideas, please send me a pm and let me know.
@tys0n maybe you can adapt also this way to do the logo changes: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2529133
Thank you so much for this tutorial! :laugh:
now i'm able to put my own photo as bootlogo :victory:
