I've been trying to change the splash screen on my jade and have managed to make an nbh file and flash it with the customRUU.
the splash screen has changed but seems to 'cut off' near the bottom where the boot info comes up and shows some of the old splash screen under the info.
Its really wierd I'm sure my image is the right size (I've used several stock ones from this forum)
I'd really like to know where I'm going wrong.
Cheers
Anyone?
the annoying orange
Hi Welshbloke70
I too would like to change (the annoying orange) splash screen on my Jade.
I presume you are talking about the very first splash that appears on start-up?
I’ve successfully done this on a herm200 but you know how things can be different!
Can you explain what steps you took and I’ll try the same on mine to see if we get the same result?
Cheers

Well I flashed the HTC stock ROM and thats changed it.
The stock ROM works well for me so I'm pretty happy, and I guess that the splash screen is changed for good.
Orange splash
Hi Welshbloke
Can you tell me if the stock ROM is available here? If so can you provide the link or version?
Cheers
Hello,
all you need is a GIF file 240 x 320 Pixels in size.
Place the file in \windows folder.
You might need to use the Total commander to place this file as otherwise you'll get write protection error.
Soft reset after replacing the file.
If you're talking about the HTC screen splash ...
on my set it's this file - animated.gif (240 x 320 pix, 46.1 kb) in \windows.
how do i enable and chamge the animated.gif? and disable the splashscreen?

AFAIK... Get any gif file (animated or not) of your choice, edit/resize it to be of the same pix size with animated.gif (240 x 320), save it as "animated.gif", dump it into \windows. Softreset. Rem to keep the default file, just in case.

Only to tell: I do not have the file "animated.gif" on my phone.
But I do not want to change my splash-screen, so it does not matter for me.

Trying to understand better ..
After you dump the new file and softreset, when you boot up, what happened ?
Does the splash screen still show the default animated gif ? or No animation at all ?

I'm trying to change the red version numbers on the splash screen, I've tried going through S0001 in nk.exe but have had no luck finding the second set of number, changing the first set doesn't do anything.

A method that may be slightly easier is to edit the NBH itself. EVK would do that, but it's offsets are wrong.
You'll need a hex editor, and just search in the NBH for the strings, both as ASCII and UNICODE. The strings are some way in to the NBH (I think around an offset of 0x7500) but they move depending on the ROM.
thanks, i'll try that and let you know how it goes
hm, went through the nbh and wasn't able to find it, just the same string that's in nk.exe, any other thoughts how to find it? i'm actually really surprised i didn't find it there
anyone else with ideas how to do this?

it's in the nk.exe ... just use the hex editor, and search for the version number that's currently appearing on your device.
I dunno if you read my OP but i've changed the first number in NK.exe using a hex editor and it didn't change anything, and it wasn't the actual ROM version number, it was just the base number "1.48.00.00", i searched for the full string of numbers that appears at boot "1.48.405.2" and didn't find it, how did you change yours?
the string is in unicode.
thanks, i found second part of the string, so now my boot screen displays 2.66.82076, but i edited the string to display 1.66.82076, so that first number is getting pulled from somewhere else. I've found everywhere with 2.10 in ANSI and Unicode and replaced them, but obviously searching for the number "2" isn't going really going to help, so does anyone know where this base version number might be stored?
has anyone been able to resolve this with 2.xx ROMs?

I just hex edit it... Works fine for me.
I'm hex editing nk.exe/s000 at 0x1783C (or there abouts) the 2.10... starts. I've edited mine to 2.10.l3v5y and that works fine.

have you tried editing it to "1.10.l3v5y", because I don't think it will work. I had no problem editing the "10.l3v5y" part, but it still always reads 2 as the first number.

That does not apply to the red numbers
To change the red numbers, Open nk.exe (S000 if not recmodded) with a hex editor, search for the string appearing on your device as Unicode and edit as fitted

The first one, "Preparing device..." is a bmp named LogoMsg.bmp. It can be found inside of OEM\yourdevice\XXXX\OEM_Lang_XXXX
Where XXXX is your lang
Not sure on the second one, haven't looked into that one. I will dig around and see what I can come up with.
it is in shellres mui.
In my TP2 WM6.5 it is logo.bmp that I need to edit to remove those words.
Thanks for the replies.
Now I wonder if it is possible to reposition these messages.
EDIT: I've searched in shellres mui, but not find that message.

Hey all,
Another question from me. I want to change the boot screen of my ROM. I have been able to change my splash screen. But now I want to do those two things here:
- I want to replace the orange "Windows" screen
- I want to remove the HTC Animation and sound
Thanks!

1)To remove animation, just disable the animation package (HTC animation)
2)To remove sound delete the HTC-QuietlyBrilliantBoot.wav file (in operator package folder) or replace it with a no sound file.
3)The images for the orange screen are inside the runcc package.Try to replace them with same size and resolution images.
Orange Windows Image is located in a couple different places...I guess you would have to search your kitchen to find exactly where it has put them,but in mine they are in:
SYS: Redist_dpi_192_resh_480_resv_800
OEM: OEMDrivers
EXT: RunCC_1_2_1_0
Search your kitchen for these names:
welcomehead.192
RunCC_default_bg_480_800
RunCC_default_bg_800_480
You may also want to change these items to match your replaced images
All runcc_progress-XX files located in runcc
All PB-X files located in oemdrivers

Task29 makes a format in your phone and clean all the files from previous roms.
Otherwise these files are cleaned only if you hard reset your fresh rom.
Thats why I think that previous files were not all deleted and thats why after you hardreseted your rom the picture is fine.

Well I just tried it and for me works fine.
I attach my photos to compare with yours.
You must take care the run cc photos to save them as progressively compressed.I done this with irfan view which is a free program.
Welcomehead.192.png is the first part of the runcc process and can be a different photo as you see in my files.
Welcomehead.192.png and Runcc files can be 480x800 and not only 800x800.
How do you mean, save as progressively compressed? Can you please tell me how I should save the files. The save options are quite advanced for some extensions...
Thanks

In Irfan view you open the image you want and when you click, >File, >Save as and you select the jpeg option, then the possibility to save the jpeg photo as >save as progressive jpg, arises.
I dont know if this is really needed but the original run cc files are saved this way.

EDIT: I now have the reg keys I need and am to set both the main screen and start menu. I now just looking to set the time at first boot.

The above keys will work after first boot, but not during first boot process.
Any help would be appreciated.

Both backgrounds are set in their corresponding *.cpr file(s). You can either change it there and re-direct it to your image or simply rename your image and over-write the stock WM image.

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. had a brain wave and renamed one of the wallpapers and then did a search through the registery for that new file name. Found it under
HKEYCU\controlpanel\desktop\wallpaer!
I have been looking for the 24 hour key for ages! Cheers
When I cooked both registery keys into the rom neither worked. Time is still 12 hour and the background screen is still default. Even though when I go in to the desktop registery key the entry is the one I entered
for the time format ...

I'm sorry, I miss understood what you were looking for originally. Are you trying to set a wallpaper for the first boot? If so, I simply just save my wallpaper as a .gif and name it "Default_stwater_480_800.gif" this will vary depending or device resolution.
As far as the clock settings not sticking, make sure that your reg isn't being over-written later in the cooking process.
Edit:
Thanks Poy, I forgot about "ITime"=dword:00000001

You were close with the filename. I found out it was HTC_stwater_480_800.jpg. Once I changed that it then set the default background for me. I simply created an ext package and added the new wallpaper with the same name into a files folder and then set the app.dat file to copy it to the windows directory.
Still working setting the time to 24h

You also can customize (Don´t remember if Titanium or Start Menu´s background) overwritting files "Default_stwater_480_800.gif" & "Default_stwater_800_480.gif" (depends of resolution).
Is not necessary add an app.dat to the package, because all archives inside "files" folder go to windows folder. If you want a copy of these archives in other folders, then you can set app.dat
Greetings
Grand,
Got start menu background working. Now just looking to set the time to 24 hour format. If I make the changes suggested above after I flash the rom it changes, but If I cook reg changes into the rom and flash it stays at 12 hour.
Something must be overwriting your time settings either later in the cooking process or a provxml. OSB has the ability to preview reg, but I am not sure about OSK (it's just been too long)
manila world clock has the option to change time format 24h/12h so maybe something has to be also changed there ...
I think you could be right. There is definitly something on the initial startup is overriding the cooked registery keys.
try cooking without adding any keys to nls, make your changes in regional settings (winmo-settings) and then export complete nls-key, using it in your kitchen next time.
according to osbuilder, nothing in nls-key is set via provxml, only by boot.rgu and the rgu from base_lang_0xxx (in sys). adding your own reg later in cooking-process should overwrite them just fine.
the important part during 1st boot is LCID (=region), which also defines a standard timeformat for the region.

this gives me 24hr-clock and the crazy date-format you guys use on your island.
while playing with this i noticed that region-settings in manila add lot's of keys in \overrides, while winmo-settings does it's stuff in \nls (except the LCID in overrides).
(nevermind the "SSDte", that key i use for setting date-format on lockscreen.)
