HTC updated their website in the last year, went from black to white.
Unfortunately, they incorporated this change also into the official ROM with Sense. The very first splash screen is white, and also the second animated is white. I don't like them at all.
Can I change them somehow?
Thanks, Chris.

You are speaking of the screen that shows your radio versions? I'm thinking that those are in the ROM and cannot be changed without burning a new ROM into your device.
You can change the splash screen that comes up AFTER the initial screen, do a search. It is a fairly simple matter of copying a picture file over to the /windows directory, overwriting the existing file.

Actually, you can change that screen fairly easy. I few months ago I found a mod that used a rom update utility to change it, but it didn't affect the current rom. Just the first boot screen. It was a dark grey and black striped background with HTC in the middle. If I can find the link, I will provide.

It looks to me like this burns the ROM, or part of it. So I'm to assume that one would need the hard SPL before use?

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 ;-)

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!!!

I'll see if I have time

also.. anyone have a better icon for Action Screen app?

To replace the icon
I think you have to use a Resource Editor.

Look at the background other than Today screen.
That is the bottom part I was reffering to, it is created by only one tile that has been repeated over the surface. So an image is not possible other patterns are doable
Ok.. not exactly what everybody is looking for but at least a change from the background bricks
This may not work on all TF3D's, and won't work on TouchPro
If it doesent work on your phone, I can not make it work!
4a087e41_manila - Red.zip and 2bd5bb26_manila is the only one u can change in Manila Editor...

No, I haven't
33_manila is from an old TF3D version...
the only way to edit the un-editable manila image files is to make them 4x4 in dimension, then u can at least change the colour or make them transparent
That's what I did to the red one...
The same goes for the Sprint Clock background...
Thanks for the info. I did a little experimenting and came up with these. I'm going to try some different patterns/colors and see what happens.

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.

Hehe, yeah, dutch it is.
The problem is that the normal download uses a compression method to decrease the file size up to 90% (see cab size difference), which makes manila faster. Thing is, manila needs to be patched for it to work. Look up Chainfire's Compression for more information.

It should work with a branded ROM as well, unless completely new manila files have been added (which I think is unlikely).
I've just tried it on my Vodafone branded Pro2, and all works well except when you stop on any tab, the background goes black so you can't see anything much.
The transitions between tabs is so great - I hope this can be made to work fully. Great work, thanks!

Do I understand correctly that the background (as in the screenshots) only shows while scrolling, but not while actually inside a tab?
I'll relay this information to Rotastrain (the creator of the panoramic background mode9 file) so it can be looked into.

I have got a HTC one... so can't tell how it works on the branded one. I had to use the compability cab anyway.
on my Voda branded one the compatibility cab works fine apart from some of the fonts stay black. The calendar tab is particularly bad and a white font & lines would have been better.
Great theme tho!

Yeah, that's what I've been experiencing. It seems it's the same issue Stunno is having, as with a light background (which I believe it's supposed to be) the black fonts would be suitable.
Will be fantastic to have this to replace the Vodafone theme once it's fully functional, thanks again!
I should clarify my post as it was done in a rush this morning.
The theme is FULLY functional. The background scrolls beautifully from tab to tab (OK there is a slight glitch in that there is a thin black line down the settings tab about 3/4 of the way across and a light one half way across the calendar tab)
My problem is the font colour in some of the tabs. Which is more of a layout problem than a theme problem. In particular
The People tab perfect apart from the phone number is in black over a dark part og the background - but no biggy because who needs this anyway I've only included for completeness
The Calendar tab has black text and lines on a predominantly dark background
The Music tab ditto
the Internet tab ditto
Having said all of that, and I hope it didn't come across as whinging because it wasn't meant to, I am keeping it on as it is a HUGE improvement on the VF one!

Yes, CFC compressed files work better. The compatibility pack is not compressed, like TF3D is normally. So, for a performance increase, I recommend patching your manila, using CFC GUI 0.55.

Alright. I'm willing to improve based on feedback. I do however, need screenshots for clarification. The reason is that - although you did a very good attempt at clarifying - I can still interpret your problems in differing ways.
So, please post some screenshots and I'll look into it.
The vertical lines in the background are a TF3D problem, we can't get rid of it - yet. (TF3D doesn't like sticking pictures to eachother(
I've attached screenshots of what I'm experiencing.
Screenshot 1: What I have when TF3D first loads - perfect!
Screenshot 2: Once I touch the screen however, the background goes black
Screenshot 3: When choosing between tabs, the background goes to the photo again
Screenshot 4: Then when I stop on a tab, the background goes black again - very nice!
Thanks so much - this will be so good compared to the default Vodafone theme!

I understand that it might seem intimidating if you're new to WM and HTC. I can also understand that you'd love to have all the best fixes and stuff. Do take into account though, that it takes some time and a lot of reading to really get a grasp of how everything works and is integrated.
Patching manila, however, is - luckily for you - made simple by Chainfire. Read his thread here.
Good luck!

try this, I got it from the Windows Mobile site.
I have a question I am finding hard to get an answer to.
There are essentially 4 boot screens on a TP 2.
The first and second (I don't think can be separated on a TP 2) Is the above splash screen with the red text, radio, etc that comes on after about 10 seconds.
Third is the Animated screen.
I can change those screens.
The 4th is ANOTHER screen that shows the ROM (at least, on my NRG MaxSense ROM).
The 4th is the one I can't find how to change.
Anyone have a link?
In the meantime, I am still searching, and if I find out, I will come back with a link.

I'm pretty sure that the screen you mention is part of the actual ROM flash. I think it's a file though that you can modify once the ROM is installed. Welcomehead possibly..?

On my Tilt 2, the last screen is simply a png called well.png.
