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.

Hi,
I was missing some small clocks that do not block the TF3D background too much.
To solve my "problem" I just created two versions in black and white. One with a semi transparent clock background and one without a clock background.
The actual numbers are a little far away from eachother but experimenting getting them closer gave some nasty image conflicts. If anyone has an solution let me know and I update the clock.
If you are looking for any other color let me know and I get it done for you.
*********************
EDIT: 23 Nov 2008
Version 1.1
Available colors in zip:
Black
White
Updates:
Used a bit better readable font
Updated positioning
Fixed Lower Curtain error
To Do
Change distance between numbers
Make Semi Transparent flip smaller
thank you very much
Very nice but...
... I can't get it to work with Sprint theme. Still have the Sprint clock BG and the : between the numbers
hi thanks for ur clock
But I got one problem after installing ur clock, the touch flo bar at the bottom turned into a thinner style after I have installed ur clock. how can i change it to normal style? thanks
The idea of smaller clock is brilliant, but these are just too small
@g0mib0y
Like mentioned in the readme you should use the diamnond config tool from susilange to restore to original files from you rom. If you do a quick search on the forum you should be able to find the tool to restore your TF3D. Before you restore can you post a screenshot for me to see what happened as it works good on my end. I would like to fix it for eveyone.
@jonson10
I guess that it works different for the sprint rom. I will take a look at this and see how others have get it to work for the sprint ROM.

I'll take a look at making them a little bigger for you

Find the files that are in the zip in your \Windows folder on your device.
Delete them and soft-reset. They will restore from the ROM.

@ dickenz
Thanx for the follow-up. this is indeed the best thing to do when the diamond config does not do the trick. Weird however seeing that the config tool deletes all the manilla files and restarts so it will be reinstalled from the ROM and should solve the problem.
@ jonson10
I'll take an other look at the issue somewhere today. Which clock did you use the clock with the glassclock background or the one without background? Let me know so I can take a better look at it. There are some files in the glassclock BG that could cause this but I need to know for sure you are using this
i like the idea of a smaller clock, but with the border around the clock still being the same size it eliminates any reason i had to download it i dont suppose you could reduce the size of the border around so the calender etc are pushed up more into the center of the screen?

Works fine with original manilla theme
these look really good, but they are too spaced out, is there anyway to get the clock that size but with less space between the numbers?
another idea i have is, if you used the ones with no background and removed the numbers too!!
NOONE has made an invisible clock yet and it would be the best way to get a full wallpaper
i would really like the invisible clock.
would this be possible?
thanks for your help and your small clock <- EDIT i have just realised how bad that sounded lol sorry
i like your clocks however i am having trouble installing it..i am using Resco explorer to copy the files in the windows directory but i get the following error:
First it says that the destination file is in ROM and that i can damage my system if i continue. After i click on yes i get the following:
Cannot move file xxxxxx. The file already exists.
i tried searching for this but i couldnt succeed until now...
cant anyone help?
Created some updates on the Small Clock You can down load version 1.1 from the first post. Update history is also listed there.

Did you setup the resco explorer to overwrite all files? You can do this under Menu\Options\General than under the tab Files check all boxes and select Copy.
Let me know if that did the trick.
thats how it was set up but it didnt want to work..anyway, i used total commander and it worked..
Ok good to see it was solved any way. It is weird as I use the Resco myself and do not have this issue :-S
Anyway it is solved so that is the most important
Really great work!
What I would really love, is the transparrent one, but with white digits insted of black.
Could you do it?
Pretty please!!!

Hi folks! Been Browsing your pages a lot these days and I like your stuff. SO I thought I'd sign up and give something back to you: A custom startup animation for the X1. Put the file into Windows folder (overwriting the original) and there you go. Warning: You cannot do this over ActiveSync! I'm not sure if it works with the built-in file explorer, I did it with RESCO Explorer, works fine after confirmation. Make sure you have a backup copy of the original file somewhere. I'd be glad to hear some comments Tell me if you like it or not and WHY. If you don't have any idea what this is gonna do: It will change the animation right after the Sony Ericsson logo when you power it up. Sony Ericsson logo before and Windows logo after remain untouched.
EDIT: Just found out that I have to ZIP the file... Otherwise it becomes JPG. So Download, Unzip, and THEN copy.
Well I kinda made one too. Just for fun.
If the startup animation doesn't show up, download the ALLOWANIM.ZIP file, extract and merge the registry settings in your x1.

Nice idea to refer to the startup logo
And another attempt by me, this one's a little bit more exciting and I've stolen your idea about fading the logo PSD this time included.
The animation goes like:
Fade out SE logo
Show "Sony Ericsson" text with a shiny animation
Fade in white glowing "X1"
Fade out glowing "X1"
Hope you like it, haven't tested it yet on my X1.
There's been many downloads already, please post some feedback!

good idea to start this thread!
here is my art, hope you'll like it
.jpg is a preview
Cool! But I would prefer it if the "Powered by Windows Mobile" etc were present all the time, and the animaiton could be more smooth (Though I'm sure you've invested quite a bit of time into this... Respect!).
i like the start up logo with the paper plane...Genius
But it doesnt let me replace the original file using the in built Phone file explore.
Wot else can i use besides resco??
to Firefall!
I'll create Art 1.1 pic tomorrow, there is too much work now.
to indy.89
try to use Total Commander. but Resco is the best
glad to see you liked my work guys. thnx a lot!
my x1 only has SEMC2904.bmp in windows folder, im using resco.
so tried to change name of SEMC1904.gif to it and says cant overwrite because its part of rom.

Sigh: neways 1904 is the animation, and part of rom but it won't do anything but play at the boot so safe to replace from rom.
The 2904 is part of the static splash screen with the big green SE logo. Replacing it won't damage anything. Safe to replace.
If you want bootscreen change, just replace welcomehead.192.png, again safe to change Have fun.

Thank you ))
I've used Photoshop and then Gif Animator
Here is the source files (PSD and UGA).
still cant get this to work, ive searched
can someone help me please, what to do
can we change the boot screen to an animated gif somehow?
I've tried some of the cabs on this site and other sites with no luck. I've tried putting animated.gif into the windows folder with no luck.
am I missing something?
i was able to do it
but i forgot how
i think directly in the registry i'm guessing (search for welcomehead)
i'm talking about two secondary splash screens (like in advanced config)
to change the first two splashes i've used the bootsplash kitchen
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TitanBootsplashTutorial
but the .nb image creator doesn't support .gif files as best i can tell
sweet!!! good link gonna try this next weekend!!
too bad it does a hard reset. Gif's are listed as working so they should work (as they are the only ones that 'move'.)
its not supposed to cause a hard reset...
i used the kitchen within the last week and the first time it worked
the last time caused a hard...
i also tried animated gif and it didn't work
only non-animated for the first two....at least using this tool...
never actually seen an animated gif on the first two before...so
(i think the successful bootsplash was by using the sd card instead of the ruu)
make sure you put your (both secondary) splash images in windows directory...
helps with load time...and delay settings...
still not 100% that entering the gif in the registry is working...but i think it will
been resetting my device for a couple hours straight trying to get all the settings right...
i'll post up what results i think i figure out...lol
I used the sd card and it works to change the picture on the first and second images of the boot sequence. But no animation thus far
I've looking ever since I tried one of Ryan's light 6.5 roms. He had an animated lightning strike a tree, and it looked pretty dope!!! I think I might track him down...........
There is a utility in the PPC Kitchen that allows us to add animation to one of the start up screens. I added the Windows Vista logo with a meter below it. Works fine for a couple of seconds till the meter freezes.
whoever is cooking the roms for you must tell it NOT to skip the animation. then you can change the animation.

im not sure if this would help but i think that there was a change icon application, in the options menu i think it said bonus and when i taped it it let me change the boot screen i used the windows phone 7 gif and the windows phone png along with the vista boot sound

The Program he used makes the cab makes the image a manila file. I would suggest ask the OP for the original image.

Alternative method
Hi all
An alternative method is to create an image file you want to use for your today and lock screen background. The format is .jpg. The portrait should be named:
stwater_480_800.jpg
and the Landscape named:
stwater_800_480.jpg
Copy these to a convenient folder on your device, e.g. My Documents. Then, using a more powerful file manager, e.g Total Commander, copy them to your \Windows folder, overwriting if prompted.
Cheers

Hi Guys,
Does anyone know if you can set the home background image (in TF3D2) and the image for the lockscreen simultaneously? In other words, can you update both images at once (preferably by selecting it from the "Settings" tab in TF3D2)? Is there a .CAB of some sort? ANY help would be appreciated. ANY help at all!
Thanks a bunch!

Was wondering if anyone happened to know how to change the icons for your favourite internet bookmarks on the internet screen.
Typically when you add the favourite it takes a screen shot of the webpage, but I'd like to change it to a different picture, maybe one I've saved myself.
Does anyone know if this is possible.
Also, I have a T-Mobile HD2, and wondered if anyone knew how to change the web 'n' walk logo that comes up once you have clicked a favourite.
Thank you advance for your help.
1. generate the thumbnails the normal way
2. go to \windows\thumbnails and copy all files to sd card
3. copy the files to your computer and modify them to your likings. make sure you preserve the file type and the exact names!
4. overwrite the old files with the modified ones in \windows\thumbnails
tip:
resize the thumbnails from 512x512 to 128x128. the internet tab will be faster and you will hardly notice any difference in quality.

2. go to \windows\thumbnails and copy all files to sd card
3. copy the files to your computer and modify them to your likings. make sure you preserve the file type and the exact names!
4. overwrite the old files with the modified ones in \windows\thumbnails
tip:
resize the thumbnails from 512x512 to 128x128. the internet tab will be faster and you will hardly notice any difference in quality.

Thank you so much! Will try this when I get home from work.
Don't suppose you can work your same magic and let me know how to change this crappy web 'n' walk logo?

To be honest, I don't really know how to take a screenshot of my phone. Sorry.
But, when I click a favourite, or just click "Launch browser", a small T-Mobile web 'n' walk logo appears on the screen for a moment. It's about an inch wide and just stays on the screen until the browser actually launches.
I think that on non-branded phones, a short HTC clip plays before the browser launches.

ok, first go to \windows\opera9 and you'll find 2 png files:
Opera_loading_Landscape(...).png
Opera_loading_POR(...).png
open them and:
- if they are the ones you are looking for just copy to pc > modify (preserve the names!) > overwite the originals
or
- if they are the default opera spalsh screens with the htc logo then go to registry hklm\software\opera\info\ and you'll find 2 strings: spashscreenlandscape & spashscreenportrait. under the names you'll find the path to the splash screens you want to replace. go there, copy to pc > modify (preserve the names!) > overwite the originals.
i hope this helps, cheers

Was able to check in the Windows\opera 9 folder and it wasn't these pics, so will check the other option you've given later on after work!
Thank you SO much!
