2nd splash disappeared, not a welcomehead.96.png problem!!

My second splash screen (Windows Mobile) has disappeared. ATM only a white screen and fortunately I can boot.
I copied welcomehead.96.png to my PC to see if I can edit it (YES) and back to Wizard \windows folder and still same white one...
Any suggestions (I do'not want to flash or something like that because it takes a lot of time to shapen up the programs installed)
BTW, I have AKU 2.3 Mr. Clean 2.24 ROM. I can't edit extended_rom because of Wizard Extended_Rom 2.xx restrictions (no solution yet, at least I couln't find anywhere, Just Buzz was working on it)
:?:

I had this happen to me too, if you are using your own one, just replace the files again. But if you are not sorry you will have to find someone with that file. I copied it in 2 times and it works ok now!

Find what? an original "welcomehead.96.png file" ?

ya, cus i have changed my, but i did not like it so i did not keep a copy of the one it came with!
(cus the 1st file i put there did not a thing but then the 2nd one said to replace the file and i said yes!)

...It isn't dissapeared. Just delete the new one and voilà, there it is: the original.
I myself got a white screen after I installed pocketRSS reader...

Exactly the same program "pRSSreader". After installing it just a white screen. Will give a try to delete.
I have replaced it many times but nothing changed. Deleting might be a solution as yours
I'll post if I manage
Thanx

NOPE, didn't worked for me. I deleted ones, there u go, the original ROM file. but nothing changes.

...only when you uninstall pRSS the whitescreen disappears. It doesn't matter whatever you do.
But IF you have no pRSS anymore then you can regain the original welcomehead.96.png, because it's not gone but hide away...

Easily changed 1st splash with rom update (seems harder) but I'll give up the 2nd one because I like to use pRSSreader. Maybe ask the developer for a bug.
Thanx anyway

I tried deleting the welcomehead file but Resco says it can't be deleted as its in ROM.
I have the same problem, installed pRSSReader, it made my screen disappear. So I uninstalled it but the problem is still there.
Any fixes?
I would try the ones above but I can't seem to delete the png file.
Thanks..

copy welcomehead.96.png from Windows folder to anywhere(can be your PC) and copy it back to Windows folder.
think it will work

I tried that. It doesn't seem to work
I renamed the welcomehead.96.png file and then I deleted the renamed one. It created a new png file which, when I open, I can see is the Windows Mobile screen.
But it doesn't show on startup.
I also tried copying it to my storage card and then copying it back to Windows.
Doesn't work
Any other suggestions, please?

if you navigate to
HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin
Change the value of Enabled to 1
Soft Reset
do you get your logo now ....
I know changing the value to 0 should give the the default windows mobile screen

It was already set to 1 so I took a chance and changed it to 0.
Well...its still the same.
This is unbelievable. I also had a go with Total Commander and some of the instructions around this forum. Nothing.
I can't believe the developer of pRSSReader can screw up so bad...I am going to make sure I tell everyone I know to steer clear.
Thanks for your help, though...

try to create another welcomehead.96.png with properties 240x320 24bit (important) with your PC copy it over PPC windows folder. it should work.
i have done like this way and i change whatever i want but pRSS reader get things conplicated if u want your welcome screen do not use that program as well.

Should the image be 320x320 or 240x320? I know the resolution of the device is 240x320 but many people who have posted here on how to change the boot images say it should be 320x320.
I will do the above and let you know how it goes.

I can easily change my 2nd splash before pRSSreader and now and will after (uninstalled that RSS program)
I posted this thread becuse I wanted to learn if that program created the bug or not and if it's possible to overcome that problem without uninstalling. Asked the buddy who wrote pRSSreader and absolutely he was not aware of the issue. maybe will solve it eith the next release who knows ??
all my images are 240x320 24bit .png and they work perfect.
let me know how it goes as u told

Well, I edited the original 320x320 image to 240x320 and then copied it to my Windows folder. It still doesn't work! It's so strange
I can't imagine how its not working because it seems to be for everyone else.
I can confirm that the problem took place after I installed pRSSReader as I didn't install any other program before that for at least 3 days. It's a very nice program (and free, which makes it nicer) but not worth the trouble if it messes up my system.
Well, I guess I'll learn to live with it...till I decide to do a hard reset and install all my stuff again (which is just scary as I have a lot of stuff and it'll take up tons of time).

App folders not going away.

I uninstalled Office from my phone with WM6 but the folder is still in the Program list.How do I get rid of it? ?And there is two calanders, I haven't installed anything yea, anyone know how to get rid of them?

clear temp
use clear temp application
hopefuly it will help u
it clears bad or unused registry entries

Didn't work , I still have the Office folder and the two calander programs.

You know of a WM6 ROM that has ONLY the WM6 stuff nothing at all extra?

reset!!
have u done soft reset after clear temp?

No, how do I do that?

reset
re-start ur device Buddy!

Soft resetted it but they are all still there. Will hard resetting it bring it back to the way it was when the ROM was installed?

definetly!

Any other ideas then? Or could you point me towards a really stripped down version of WM6 or one that works real good?

but remember to remove storage card n backup ur contacts etc. before hard reset!

I only installed the ROM tonight so I have nothing on there so no need to backup.

I have the same problem with xplodes 6.13.00 ROM, its worked perfectly for around 3 weeks now. Its brilliant work.Although i have more than one icon in my programs list. e.g two file explorers, two camera's

try using 3trd party software for clean, i'm using SKTools its remove duplicate shortcut, empty folder etc.

How to get back the original TF3D Backgrounds

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.

Annoying Problem with removing programs (google navigator)

I have a problem that is completely driving me crazy....whenever i remove any program on my xperia ....there is always some files remaining in the program files, and being a perfectionist i always try to delete them, but get an error reporting that the file is in use, which annoys me even more because it means some process is still running
p.s up till now this happened with google navigator, and a tweak tool i downloaded from here before....plz help me , don't want to hard reset every time i want to uninstall a program !

why is it o body want's to help me ??

a) have you thought other people might have a reallife(tm) and not be on here 24hrs 7days per week ?
you asked less than 4hours before you post moaning?
b) this is not a support forum
c) you need to give more information
how did you install the programs?
how did you remove the programs?
what files are left?
have you soft reset after uninstalling the progs?
what software are you using to see the folders?
if you have files that are in use you need to soft reset.

I humbly ask sorry.....
Well to view the folders i use the normal file explorer....i did a soft reset but still on deleting the program folder it tells me it is in use....tried installin and uninstalling again google navigator (trial) but nothing, it also gives me an error on start up telling me the process could not be launched....is this normal.....
P.S: again i ask sorry for stressing so much to get a reply

i had the same problem. to solve it, use file explorer and go to: My Device-Windows-Startup, from there delete the file which have Agent written (something like GAgent, i forgot). After deleting it, restart (soft reset).
Then use file explorer to delete the google navigator folder

ok i deleted gagent and this solved the problem....bu there is another file....i don't remember its name precisely i guess sth like "GNagent" ....should i delete this one ... I tried to but i cannot .....and i accidently renamed it ....can you tell me its correct name ?, cause i'm afraid it's a system file :s

That's not a system file.
Also find, download, install and use total commander, there's either lots of cabs onthis forum for it, or search for the manufacturers website.
It's a Free file manager that's much better than the built in one. It allows you to overwrite files in rom amongst other things. It may well delete the file for you.

Total Commander would help at deletting softwares? that could be nice, for example, I installed the mtoday, and, I am not able to uninstal it...I do understand waht is a hard reset, but the soft one, sorry, this is still not very clear for me...If I would guess, would we need to make a soft reset, each time, we uninstall a software? does would help to clean after?
thanks you

soft reset is when you stick the stylus in the whole in the back, or turn the device completely off and on again.
If there's processes still in use on the phone then a soft reset will stop them being used, (unless they are set to start-up again automatically)
for example, if you install a dialler skin then want to get rid of it. After uninstalling you'll need to soft reset to make sure the dialler is not locking the files so they can be deleted.

Pls help! Sth wrong with my phone.

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!
