Just wondering if the loader screen can be changed? I have used several ROMs and most come with different start-up screens. Is there a way to change them for a custom image?
Easiest way I know of is to cook up a custom ROM using the PPCGeeks kitchen (ppckitchen.org). Lets you choose up to 3 boot splash images, and if you then flash a rom which doesn't have its own boot screens (I use JakDillard's roms), they won't be overwritten and you end up with a chef's rom with your custom splash.
If you're talking about the animated startup Sprint screen I'm not sure. If you're talking about the green WM6 startup screen you can change the /windows file welcomehead.96.png with anything you want. There's a couple of really nice ones you can find if you do a search.
to change sprint startup animation go to:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Startupanimation
and point "GIFFile" to a GIF amination of your preference.
or you can replace to file SPCS_Startup.gif located in \windows.
The screen I would like to change is the one that first pops up before the animation. It has the ROM version, and Radio version and other information on it. The picture I have right now is of a muppet. "And it says PPCGeeks and PPCKitchen.org Present", is there anyway to change that one? I am intrigued by the idea of creating my own ROM, but will my OS still work the same? Will I k still have the same OS just different ways of customizing? Or will I have to get a new OS? Sorry if I am not making sense, I currently have W6.1, GPS upgrade, google Maps, TomTom Navigator 6, and other good apps. How can I keep these apps while eliminating other ones. Also can I make a ROM that does all that while changing my Radio from 3.37 to 3.35? Sorry for all the questions but I figured I would ask in a single post rather that several
Thanx in advance
Hi guys
I used a modification to get backgrounds in all tabs.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2869354&postcount=571
In the beginning everything seemed fine until I saw something strange in some undertabs like for exemple the tab, where you can see all the installed programs (this long list with the white background).
Now on my phone the background is white in this section, but not entirely. In the upper part of the screen there is like a bar in the background in which you can see the background witch is installed in all other tabs. Dont know how to explain.
Best would be to send you an image of it but how? How can I make a image of the phone?
Hope someone knows how to reset the background to default or to solve my problem. Perhaps someone could post here the original manila files (at least the 5c9aa261_manila and 4a087e41_manila ones).
edit: when I delete the file "4a087e41_manila" I get all tab backgrounds white. Perhaps its a good hint for the solution.
Thanks in advance.

There is always the hard reset option which definitely would bring it back.
Hehe, yes I know, but like you already figured out it is the last option for me
I first want to know if there is a quicker (peerhaps also harder) way to get it right.
Only for curiosity: How is the hard reset performed on the Touch HD?
Should have made a backup before installing anything new .if u dun like sumthing that cannot be simply removed from remove program list than a hard reset and restore always work..i learnt that the hard way though
Well in fact I did make a backup of the 5c9aa261_manila file. The problem is, that also when I replace the file with the original one the problem arises. And when I delete the 4a087e41_manila file (which is not part of the original system, only needed when using the modified 5c9aa261_manila file) then I get all white backgrounds, like mentioned above.
Couldnt someone post the original 5c9aa261_manila file here? (only people who didnt do changes of backgrounds til now). Would be great.

AFAIK that really doesn't matter, since it does not depend on any language pack and is the same for all language versions.
Oh and while I am at it I might as well help you out LOL
Here it is, 5c9aa261_manila, it's from the WWE rom... haven't changed a single _manila file yet, and the ROM is still stock... So I guess it is 100% identical to what you had on there before switching background mode.
Also ALWAYS keep a copy of ALL _manila files before using manila customizer...
Have fun!

I used the manila file of nin2thevoid. Did work for me to get back the backgrounds!
Thanks to nin2thevoid and also to you the offered help!
Btw. you will find the file in the windows folder on your device (not SDcard).

I also had to restore the black background. Expecially in the music tab i could not read all the tracks and it was annoying. Still... it was nice to have a background in a certain tab. Is there possible, for example to have a background in "home" and the same (or another) in "weather"?
all i did was delete the 4a087e41_manila file and the modified 5c9aa261_manila file, and then the ROM version of 5c9aa261_manila reappeared. I then soft reset my HD and i had the original background file again.
Hi All
Im looking for Xperia logo animation on the startup, I dont really know the name of the file, but it is the screen that comes after the sony ericsson logo If i recall.
Thanks in advance

oh cool thanks man, how does this differ from the cab file?
its just the gif file, you can change the setting with advanced config or manually editing the registry
to point to the file
hklm/software/htc/htc animation startupgif /windows/semc1904.gif
Apologies for hijacking the thread slightly (it looks nicely resolved to me though), does anyone know where the initial Sony Ericsson image is stored - i.e. the one that greets you when you first fire up the Xperia?
I found SEMC2904.bmp in the Wndows folder which is exactly what the startup screen looks like, but even if I change that file the startup image stays the same.
Any ideas? Or failing that, is there a registry setting to change the path for the initial startup image?

That's a bootsplash, not so easy to change, best done with a rom kitchen.

Can't restore xperia animated logo
Hi there,
been trying to get back xperia animated logo but no luck, seems that registry keys are not enough.
I've messed witk Mainsplash and Subsplash and successfully changed both by modifying htc rom tool settings and playing with nbimg, but xperia animated logo doesn't have anything to do with bootsplash, it's managed bt registry and no need to mess with reflashing inital splashes.
Here's what occurs at wm boot:
1. Display Mainsplash
2. Display Subsplash
3. Display Animated logo
4. Display Welcomehead*.png
I 've also tried playing with registry keys which were used successflly by HTC prophet users to display boot animation (see : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1719336&postcount=19)
but still no luck...
Has anyone succesfully restored Xperia boot logo ?
EDIT: Solved!

EDIT (14/01/2009):
Finally managed to get this stuff back, registry keys were not correct.
Here is a link for all those who want to get back their Xperia Boot Logo.
Unzip this file in your kitchen's OEM folder, it is ready to be cooked:
http://www.4shared.com/file/80625819/778c01d2/Xperia_stock_startup.html
(if you want to get it back without cooking anything, just put the file in \windows
on your device and edit your registry according to included keys in .rgu file)
Hope someone will find this usefull.
Cheers.
the reg key works prefectly in mine and on several other wwe roms are you on a french rom? that may be the problem..
you dont need to start playing with cooking roms just to get the htc animated startup working.
of course the easy way is to use advanced config to choose the gif you want to use.. and thats where i got the reg key from
Thank you for the answer fards, the problem was that at the beginning i was trying to put the wrong reg key which was included in archive posted some posts above.
First reg key i've tried was:
HKLM/software/htc/htcanimation
Tried also with a space between "htc" and "animation" but none worked.
By searching a little i found some htc prophet related posts with registry settings that put me on the right path.
After some unsuccessful tries i found that the following keys did the trick - at least for me -:
"Volumn"=dword:00000000
"WAVFile"="dummy"
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
"GIFFile"="\\Windows\\SEMC1904.gif"
"Priority"=dword:000000C8
As you can see, the keys for playing a wave file when dislaying animation are here too.
Since i'm beginning in cooking stuff - and also in the whole ppc world - and wanted to make an ultralight ROM from my stock french one, i wanted to do everything at hand, in order to improve my understanding of the whole stuff, including little "cosmetic" details as well as critical system tweaks to fit my needs without using a single piece of additional software.
I've edited my previous post according to how i resolved this and included a zip archive to replace the one posted previously, which was including wrong registry settings.
Nice to see what we can achieve by working on various things and exchanging ideas, techniques and advises.
I've learned many thing since i began last week, but still a lot to learn...
Now i can go to the next level...
Cheers and thanks again.

How 'bout if you could add another seperate launcher tab with unlimited(maybe, I've added 48 already) shortcuts? Its another tab for tf3d, not a seperate plugin/app. I think I got that, still have to check something, but downside is you have to enter the shortcuts into xml file instead of linking directly from programs list. Good thing about the xml though, you can enter the link, arguments for the link, and an iconpath. If no iconpath is selected, then it will use chosen program's icon. Also with xml, you can save xml file so that after a flash or hard reset, just copy your custom xml back into windows again to get all setup again. I should have it altogether tonight if anyone's interested.

Ok, here's the files. I started on att manila(which is where tab comes from) and now have it running on non att manila(. This has been tested with ONYX theme which is using the latest htc manila version(1.2.35845.1_1813.6), which is where pics came from. I had up to 48 shortcuts made up, so I don't think it has a limit. It can be an odd number of shortcuts, doesn't have to have 3 on last row.
Its made from the ATT tab that was used for ATT specific links. I removed the ATT links and images. I added the tab icon links for tab bar back into the icons.mode9 file, 61f866ab_manila. Included lua scripts and ATT tab icons (1a5a121d_manila and 2e35e5f2_manila) which you can change to match your theme. The heart of it is the att_tabitems.xml which is where you have to edit your links for the shortcuts. All of files in zip need to be placed into \Windows folder on your phone. I can't make a cab, because you will have to edit the xml file to use this first. You can make shortcuts to open web links, files, folders, or apps. IconPath can point anywhere? or left blank. The softkeys are also set in the xml, so make them what you want. They currently connect to home and programs tabs of tf3d.
Here's some examples of xml, in these I was linking to icons folder I made in root of device named Realize(from the realize icon set).
App Link
Code:
<ATTtabItem
Name="Total Commander"
Path="\Program Files\Total Commander\cecmd.exe"
Arguments=""
IconPath="\Realize\TotalCommander.png"/>
Web Links
Code:
<ATTtabItem
Name="Opera"
Path="\Windows\OperaL.exe"
Arguments="http://m.google.com"
IconPath="\Realize\Opera95.png"/>
<ATTtabItem
Name="Google"
Path=":DEFBROWSER"
Arguments="http://forum.xda-developers.com"
IconPath="\Realize\GoogleNew.png"/>
<ATTtabItem
Name="Ebay"
Path="\Windows\iexplore.exe"
Arguments="http://ebay.com"
IconPath="\Realize\ebay.png"/>
Folder/file links
Code:
<ATTtabItem
Name="Games"
Path="\Windows\fexplore.exe"
Arguments="\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games"
IconPath="\Realize\Poker.png"/>
Soft Keys
Code:
<Softkey>
<LSK Path="\Windows\manila.exe" Arguments="--switchtopage Manila://home.page" Text="Home"/>
<RSK Path="\Windows\manila.exe" Arguments="--switchtopage Manila://programs.page" Text="Programs"/>
</Softkey>
You will also have to add this tab page to your 26948339_manila file for tf3d pages. Use the following code, just change page number to fit your xml.
Code:
<Page Order="10" Name="atttab.page" PackageName="HTC" Title="Launcher">
<ComponentReference Name="page" Mode9Path="HTC\ATTtab.mode9" Component="GizmoRoot" SmartComponent="true" />
<ComponentReference Name="icon_normal" Mode9Path="HTC\icons.mode9" Component="ATTAtt_Off" />
<ComponentReference Name="icon_selected" Mode9Path="HTC\icons.mode9" Component="ATTAtt_On" />
<ComponentReference Name="icon_preview" Mode9Path="HTC\icons.mode9" Component="ATTAtt_Preview" />
</Page>
Thanks Showaco.....Great work indeed !!
However, I would like to bother you a bit more.....
- I'm not sure which files I need to replace.
- Is your solution specific to ATT ? I use an unlocked version with original 1.93 ROM.
- I don't have any themes installed....I hope that shouldn't be a deterrent though.
Please help !

Kunal
does'nt HD Manila have more program tabs than diamond manila? I am sure i saw this on Vic's latest rom.....
A New Great Work Again
Hi Showaco.
Thanks for the new great work. I am also following your thread on Raphael "BBExtreme 4.0 the REMIX ". I think you nearly solve every details related with manila
Could you please help me to fix "HD People Tab" prb that not works properly at my Diamond, Official ROM 1.35 ?
I do not want to get details here, can I send message to you from PM ?
(I try to find a solution myself by learning , sorry searching manila prg, get into details of m9editor,lua scripts,mode9 file....
But as you can guess, I was not able to find a solution )
Waiting your response,
Many Thanks
Great work Showaco!
One quick question....could you please tell me if it is possible to change the default icon size on the program screen?
I am trying to ditch the square button backgrounds and use larger 128x128 icons.
Any help would be appreciated!
The Cab Version
All the thanks to Showaco for this great application / add-in
For the people like me, how want to have this wonderfull utility, but are afraid to damage their manila (not want to hard-reset their phone).
I want to share my CAB file that is working at my Diamond with Official,Stock Rom Ver 1.35, Manila TF3D 1.0.1630.15, without any themes installed.
This cab is created according to the guide given by Showaco.
This cab will add new Launcher page as page-10, just near to Application Tab. All icons used in that cab are standard icons already install at your phone.
You can try and see if it works for you. Do not worry, UNINSTALL is working perfect, At least works for me.
NOTE: It has also been reported that CAB uninstallation may not work properly in same cases, like using a different language, not English.
But please do not forget that **INSTALL AT YOUR OWN RISK" **
NOTE: This cab will not work if you are using a different language,not English.
So please before trying my cab, please take a full back-up of your phone or at least take the original copy of the following files from your phone "\Windows" folder if it is exist.
"1a5a121d_manila, 2e35e5f2_manila, 4e061a9c_manila, 5e8e48df_manila, 7b1bc561_manila, 36d20e8f_manila, 61f866ab_manila, 586d37b6_manila, 786c5ee1_manila, 7564a2d6_manila, 26948339_manila, att_tabitems.xml
(At my phone, I only find 3 files; 61f866ab_manila, 7564a2d6_manila, 26948339_manila)
sosimple said:
I tried the cab version, with rom 2.03 greek. It totally screw up my phone.. The new tab was added but language went to english , softkey was gone, telephone provider changed, and many other. I uninstalled but some problems still remain so i need format .

If it does not work you, then you can create your own CAB.
Here is the installation steps;
Upload CAB to phone
Turn off TF3D
Soft Reset to make sure nothing is still in memory
Install CAB to phone
After installation soft-reset will be asked.
Turn on TF3D
Configuration Your Launcher
You can modify ""att_tabitems.xml" at your PC by using Notepad. After the modification is done connect your PDA with Act and copy "att_tabitems.xml" file into your PDA "\Windows" Folder. The new configuration will work. (No need to turn off TF3D or make a soft-reset)
Please report your test results with your phone configuration. If it works without any prb, then we can share this great Showaco add-in as an manila application
Although I am not a expert like Showaco , please find my answers that may help you

I try to explain what I have done. I take all the files from Showaco, except "26948339_manila" file and then modify it according to guide. Actually if you check your phone manila files, you will find only 3 files (26948339_manila,61f866ab_manila,7564a2d6_manila).
Please check all the files supplied by Showaco with your phone. Take the original copies into your PC. And then give a try
Also you can use my CAB file which has Uninstall facility. If it works for you, then no prb. Otherwise, you can uninstall and give a try by yourself

No theme needed. It works for me without any theme used.
I tried the cab version, with rom 2.03 greek. It totally screw up my phone.. The new tab was added but language went to english , softkey was gone, telephone provider changed, and many other. I uninstalled but some problems still remain so i need format .

Sorry Sosimple
I really do not want to get you trouble like that. I was trying to help some guys who are not so familiar with manila files like me
May be it is because of your language is not English.
Sorry again

Νo problem man. When i tried i knew there was a risk . I write it for others to know that there is a risk. After uninstalled everything went back to normal except of the icons of manila . All the icons looks like 2 times. I dont know how to describe it .When you move your finger to go from the one icon to other, the next icon (to which you move your finger) shows before you go to it. Does anyone have an idea if i can restore that?
Thanks,
I tried and the manila files of showaco and it works ok ,but i still have this problem..
The key in registry for programm tab shortcuts are here:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher
Originally it has keys from 0 to 17 which respond to respective shortcuts. Adding new equal to adding new shortcut. .
For example:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\0
(ab)DispName Bubble Breaker
(ab)IconPath
(dw)IsReadOnly 0
(ab)Path \Windows\Main Menu\Games\Bubble Breaker.lnk
ab - string parametrs
dw - dword
If you add new one, for example
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\20
(ab)DispName
(ab)IconPath
(dw)IsReadOnly 0
(ab)Path
You will be able to see one more empty space for icon on program launcher tab.
If you set the parametr (dw)IsReadOnly to 1 you won't be able to remove the shortcut from program launcher tab (you would nee to change parametr back to 0 in registry first).

Thanks but, i tried it and, i found out that you can ad as many empty tab shortcuts, but when you click to one of them to ad a shortcut for a program, after you have ad 18 shortcuts , you cant ad another one. If you find how to solve this it would be amazing ..
anyone find how to ad more than 18 items?
I get that there are 18 spots to add shortcuts but half of myne are filled with pre-set programs that came with the phone. When I try to delete them they have a little padlock on the corner of them and I can not delete from there.
Anyone know how to delete these? Someplace in the system folders there has to be a way...
That is correct, i have the same problem.
I have 18 quick url's, and i can add a new link. What happens though is the following:
x x x
x x x
etc.
x x y
z
"x" == link to an application (or other if applicable)
"y" == 18th "n"
"z" == button to add lnk
the y is the 18th lnk, the z is the button containing the "+" that makes it possible to add a nineteenth lnk.
The problem is that clicking "z" opens the correct menu, but after selecting a program, the icon remains empty (a standard black/gray icon with rounded edges and _no_plus in in) and clicking the button doesn't trigger an action as far as i've experienced it. There is however created a new icon with a "+" in it, resulting in:
n n n
n n n
etc.
n n m
o p
"n" == link to an application (or other if applicable)
"m" == 18th "n"
"o" == button with no content, clicking has no effect
"p" == button to add lnk
In this situation "m" is the 18th lnk, o is number 19, a lnk with no content, a black/gray button with rounded edges containing no icon. "p" Is the 20th icon, black/gray, rounded edges containing a plus.
Clicking icon "p" results in "p" turning into another "o" and an additional icon which acts as "p" did previously:
n n n
n n n
etc.
n n m
o o p
"n" == link to an application (or other if applicable)
"m" == 18th "n"
"o" == button with no content, clicking has no effect
"p" == button to add lnk
It is 1.20AM in the netherlands now, i've had some booze but i hope i've explained the problem good enough.
edit: i forgot to mention that i am wondering too how to add a 19th lnk, new buttons get added but the don't give any desired response.
recently, i havent been able to install themes downloaded from this forum successfully.
One of the theme i tried is anastasia and dinik theme. My whole clock is missing! icons missing on my home page. My slider( home page) cant moved. The only thing on my home page now is the weather. Now there is 'Title' word on the middle of my home page permanently too. somehow bits of my old theme is on my home page as well. Which weird because i deleted the old theme thru Device>Windows>Appmgr.
This happened before when i used another theme.clock, icon missing.
And now my phone doesnt go to lock screen anymore. I didnt change the settings at all.
My rom version is 1.48.
Pls help i've been having this prob for weeks alrdy. Thanks!
back up and hard reset would be my suggestion.
Oh no! Would u tell what caused this prob ? so that i wont repeat the same mistake again.
And hard reset-> my phone contacts gone too? how do i back up?
sorry for the trouble thanks.
you have probably installed a theme/tweak or mod that is incompatible with the version of either manila or windows that your device is running.
tons of methods to back up.personally all I do is sync my contacts with outlook.thats all I back up.
PHP:
But why doesnt my phone theme not return to the original theme even if i delete the downloaded theme?
Why is that even if i deleted a downloaded icon file or theme, it still remains in the display on my phone page?
sry asking so many qns.
When you install new mods and themes it quite often overwrites the existing files that you would consider the "original theme". So uninstalling does not bring the old files back - it just deletes the new ones.
As samsamuel says, a hard reset is probably your best bet.
Incidentally, whenever your lockscreen doesn't appear when you lock the phone, or when you can't open emails by clicking the preview in the email tab, go to start and then lock (bottom left menu option). That fixes that problem temporarily. The only permanent fix I know for that is a ROM upgrade, as 1.48 is oooooooooold now!
Kill 2 birds with 1 stone and just flash a new ROM.
it could be that the theme is badly written and just overwrites files that then cannot be restored, or the theme wasn't for your system so it's messed the registry, who knows? not me!
Oh. Thanks alot guys!
your help is greatly appreciated!
