Change O2 Orbit splash screen

Ok first of all i'm sorry if this has already been asked, but i cant find a solution. Is it possible to change the O2 splash screen on the orbit? I know it can be done on the XDA exec. thanks in advance.

come on folks, does anyone have any idea or is it just not possible?

i gues its possible i think u need to use the tool for universal but with resized pictures, but im not sure. anyway arte supports pdocwrite so it possible. try to ask poff

This procedure works on Artemis
Try this one. It worked on mine.

This only appears to be the windows welcome screen aka splash screen 2,
what i want to change is splash screen 1, the very first screen you see when you turn the device on. I have an O2 orbit and its an O2 splash screen. The windows screen is easy to change.

That is known as bootscreen and can be changed only when flashed with other ROM and that too on CID unlocked devices only.

you can get O2 splashscreen by flashing German O2 rom if you have Orbit, but its old splashscreen, then flash the rom of your choice.

changing bootscreen
My Tmobile loading screen changed to the HTC bootscreen after upgrading to the vanilla 2.1 rom. (There is a 3.0 rom, but this keeps the tmobile bootscreen) So my advice is; upgrade to vanilla 2.1, and when you're done with that, upgrade to any rom you like, and still have the nice black htc earth bootscreen )

my 3 startup screens..
I have created and replaced the 3 screens that you see when booting up the O2 Xda Orbit phone.
1, was the O2 splash screen
2, was the animated welcome screen
3, was the windows mobile screen.
now replaced with cool looking startup screens.
i used splashtool (included) to flash the 1st screen, then using activesync i replaced the animated.gif and the welcomehead.96.png in the windows folder then did a soft reset and all works great.

If I wanted to use this in DCD's kitchen, how do I do it?

Or you can create your own with customized text
Here's the link

question though....if you use it as startup animation...does it display the word once...or does it keep cycling through over and over...
i think it'd look badass if it only did it once....but if it kept going it might look dumb

those are the coolest splash screens i have ever seen. never cared much about them in till now. hmmmm, now to figure out how to cook them into the rom.
i know that the ppcgeeks kitchen it's pretty easy and that i could always cook with that first and then reflash my dcd kitchened rom, but is there a way to do it with out ppcgeeks kitchen flash?
thanks though. nice post

the easiest way I found is to use advance configuration to change them out....you will need the new 2.1 though the older one dont give you the option of what gif you want for your startup animation...if you are going to use mine give me a little bit to update how many frames it has.... you'll see edit in the first post when I'm done

You don't need to use advanced config to do it, as I have seen a lot of people having issues with their phone using that program with 3.0.x. There is a process called bootsplash cooking. You cook up a small bootsplash ROM that you flash just like you would one of dcd's system ROMS. All it does is flash the bootsplash, takes about 5 seconds. I've done it several times using 2.x.x.

Well ya you can go thru all of that but it's easier the other way. As far as DCD's rom's go..... there has never been an issue with me running advance config on his rom's, neither the old or new, and his ROM's are all I run. So I'd guess there is a lil discrepincy in the compilation or the ROM or the install of advance config. So it's really up to the end user on how they want to get it done. I vote for simple and easy since I run the program anyways. Plus I can change them out very simply and I don't have to flash anything. So it's 6 of one, half dozen of the other.

Bored - Are you tallin about Shaaps Advanced config? And if so, where in the options is this at? I have Shaps V 2.02.1.0.0..
thx

It's right above the Music Plug-in section. It's marked Startup Animation. Third line down you can select the GIF File you want to use for your animation. Really simple and easy. My suggestion would be to store the gif in My Documents/My Videos that way it's not looking for your sd card.

I have been looking all over for this config tool. someone wanna point me in the right direction to the download? or should i just download a kitchen with it in there?
of course just as i post the question, i find it

is it possible to find the sprint animation used by the htc titan? I own a verizon xv6800 but that sprint startup screen is really really nice. Is it possible that it can be ripped and placed here? is it a flash file or a gif?

Is the the Sprint animation that you are referring to?

why yes! yes it is...I do thank thee for this...
now *thinks* if I can make my own...perhaps I can

If you just want this startup animation without flashing a new ROM, you can use a file manager that has the capability to overwrite files (such as Resco Explorer) to replace the existing one on the phone. Just rename any animated GIF file that you want to use to WMStartup_ani.gif and replace the one on your device in the Windows folder. Soft reset your phone and enjoy the new one.

thanks maybe I can try my hand at making some...if school doesn't get in my way which I hope it doesn't...who knows ^_^

[THEME] Minimal Matte Grey for CyanogenMod 6.0.0 by UltraLinx [9/8][NEW LOCKSCREEN]

Minimal Matte Grey Theme for CyanogenMod 6.0.0
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Subscribe to me on Youtube
Follow me on Twitter
**Mod edit: Link to blog removed**
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Only works on CyanogenMod 6.0.0. Don't put silly posts saying it's not working because you're using a different ROM. And it's put in the HTC Desire section because it's only supposed to work with the HTC Desire. You can try it with other phones using CyanogenMod but I take no responsibility for anything that goes wrong.
This is not a Metamorph.
If you have any questions ask around, there are always answers to everything, if you still can't find the answer only at last resort can you message me. If you ask me something silly or that has been already answered I WILL NOT REPLY.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok well with that out of the way.
This is really a port of my old Minimal Matte Grey Theme.
Everything else is Sense based because I love the colour scheme Sense uses and the buttons it uses too but I'm most probably going to change it to suit the whole matte thing.
I'm going to keep adding more and more stuff to the theme so keep up with updates.

Remember to always do a nandroid backup!
First - Download the theme and flash it over - Download
Second - Download the XML file and put it on to the root of your SD Card. Then go to Settings/CyanogenMod Settings/User Interface/Tweaks Extras. Import the XML. - Download
This will make everything like the time and date and stuff white, but obviously you can change the colour if you wish.

[9/08] - New lockscreen added.
[9/02] - First release of theme.

Any chance you could change the battery indicators to something like the circle mods avaliable, but fitting with your current theme?

Sorry I don't do circle mods, never liked them.
You could get someone else to do it for you though.

Don't even know which one tbh.
It's definitely not the nightly's one though.
I'll be updating it every time a stable release comes out.
But I think it should work with every nightly anyway.

how to un-install?

really like your theme, but using cyanogenmod i cant seem to work out how to get the docks to change to match yours?

Great theme!
Any chance you could release it for the official Sense?

looks like i get a bootloop after i install this, gets stuck as soon as the cyanogen android logo pops up

Hi, i would love some help with themes in general. I have tried to install both of your themes on the correct ROMs and i can never get the same dock as you? You say it is located in your Dropbox? what do you mean by that?

Thanks for the reply, I knew it would be something simple. Just out of interest which ROM would you recommend to use? not especially for your theme just in general?

WinMo still there after flashing Android on NAND :(

Hi, I'm very new to HD2 and currently having a problem with it. I used to flash some winmo roms on my HD2 UK, but then I moved to Android. Everything was working well with Android builds on SD card, however, when I started to flash Android on NAND, the welcome screen of my previous WinMo rom is still there. So do I need to do a task29 to format my device's rom then? And if so, do i need to flash radio and MAGLDR again?

I still get that few seconds screen of my energy Rom but it doesn't mean wm is still there.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

well winmo isnt on your phone anymore but you can still do it to have a "clean" build. make a task29 (preferrably with the light version which is using a blank .nbh, youll see it in first post of task29 thread) then flash any .50 radio and afterwards magldr and android. did it the same way to have a (hopefully) clean build

If someone could make a nice, simple, "DROID" logo, 480x800 JPG i can easy make it into a flashable splash screen for the first image

Are you putting your HD2 into bootloader then attempting to flash? You MUST flash from bootloader!

What build did you download?

this
ANDROI_PPC-SHIFTPDA_GingerBread 2.3.2_WP7S_NAND (26.JAN.11)\......if you or anyone has a link to the DFT gingerbread nand id be much appreciative DD

It's doing exactly what it should do. I'm not being funny, but did you even look at the thread before downloading the ROM, because the very first image on the page shows you a WP7 style app running?

You need to either flash a stock gingerbread ROM (if you do want Gingerbread), or find out what the WP7 style app is and just uninstall it.
The good news is that you do have Gingerbread now running on your phone

no i did look but i thought it would be switchable? because even on the screenshot you got there there are 2 styles to the rom or so it appeared to me

If you find out what the Windows Phone app is then you can clear the defaults for it (Settings, Applications, Manage applications), so that when you press the home key it will ask you what app to use. You can then select the stock launcher and use that instead.
If you're not going to use the WP7 app though, you're better off getting rid of it.

ok
i found a good stock gingerbread and i just magldr 1.12 flash right over the wp7 rom or do i have to uninstall the wp7 ....microsoft sucks hahah android owns the earth D

Yes, just use Magldr and select USB flash. And you do not have WP7 on your phone. It's an Android application that looks a little bit like it.
