i'm using the latest qtek rom but am unable to reomove the second splash screen that shows the windows mobile. managed to changed the first one containin the qtek logo though using buzz's programme.
is there any way to get rid of the windows mobile splash?
Sure, no problem !
Just find any picture (jpg, bmp,gif).
Resize it to 480/640
Convert it with a graphics program (such as irfanview) to a .png file.
Rename this file to welcomehead.192
Copy that file to your /windows directory on the ppc
Softreset.
Voilà. You're done.
Cheers
hrb
actually, the picture needs to be 640x640 because it will be used both in Portrait and Landscape mode.
do you guys have the original welcomehead.192? i sorta deleted it without making a backup. would appreciate any help on this.
you cannot delete it, it is in ROM. As soon as you delete your own creation, the original file will magically reappear.
oh i see. thanks a lot for the input. managed to get it back to mess with it some more
Can I rip the original Qtek splash, so I can take it as welcomehead.192?

opposite. i just want to see the qtek splash, like before AKU2.
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?

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 ?

Well I am new to ervius, but so far I've learned that you can changed the last line of the red (for a touch pro) by using the xip portex button within the kitchen, and change the date of the xip.bin file of the build that you are using.
http://www.techparaiso.com/windows-...rsion-information-on-any-windows-phone-device
The site above describes how you can change the date within the hex. Maybe the same file has the other text to change....

The only issue is VK creates the XIP on the go. Thanks tho
EDIT: Actually that helps since it involves nk.exe. Thanks!!
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

Thanks for helping and I tried it out, but now the boot screen displays very (don't know exactly how to say in English) "compressed" on the bottom of the screen :s This happens only in first boot. In second and later boots it just works

Maybe this happened because you did not do a task29 cleaning before.

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.

This is for my phone htc hd2 I dont know if there is any for your phone.
Thanks, and how can I perform this while flashing? Can I build that in in my ROMs? That would be great

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.

Hi,
I'm using the latest osKitchen (v1.33.5) to build my own ROM for the HTC Kovsky (SE Xperia X1). Followed the tutorial, imported the latest official R3A WWE build, added a WM 21916 build and started cooking. But there's no first boot customization after a flash/hard reset. There are no errors, executing AutoRun.exe from the Windows folder doesn't seem to work either.
The config.txt (used by AutoRun and RunCC) files are left stock, but editing them doesn't make a difference. How can I fix this? If you need more information, just ask. I'll reply asap.
Have you added the runcc.lua file and redirected it to the right config.txt?
If so, flash the ROM and look whether those files are in \Windows\ (and just not executed) or not present.
Flashed the ROM: runcc.lua was already added and it redirects to the right config.txt. Paths are correct.
...
this happened to me not so long ago:
check that the autorun.exe and config**.txt files do not get overwrote during rom creation.
check that there are no duplicate files with those file names..
good luck!
Rn
I don't think those files are being overwritten during ROM creation. How can I check this? Can't find the Autorun.exe in the kitchen but after building and flashing it is visible in the Windows folder on the device. There are no duplicate files, triple checked that.
Tried building a new kitchen from scratch, an untouched build (only importing the stock ROM and the 21916 build) didn't have a first boot customization either.
I remember figuring this out on my X1 a year ago was a pain in the a*s. Can't recall where the problem was anyway. I could upload my OEM Packages for you if you'd like to? I'm using a older version of that kitchen anyway so this "could" lead to new problems...
That would be great! Please let me know what kitchen version you used, if there are any problems I can try to roll back to that one.
I PM'd you. Most persons would not know what to do with said files so it makes no sense posting them here I guess...
...
hey dude,
not sure what your problem is if all your config**.txt are there and there is no duplicate files, for me i had a mortscript called "autorun.exe" which obviously overwrote my original autorun.exe and caused my device to do no customisation.
erm, as for not finding your autorun.exe
lots of files in the kitchen are hidden and the windows hidden files toggle does not show all the hidden files for some reason :/
me personally i use ACDSee photo manager 9 to view the files in my kitchen, i then select all the files and untick the 'hidden' properties.
ALL the files you couldnt see in windows explorer are always visable using Acdsee, by unticking the properties with Acdsee, it now makes them visable in windows explorer.
hope you understand what i meen :s
btw, i only use acdsee9 to view my pictures and to change the properties of the files.
i edit all my images with photoshop and paint.

According to my searching results this issue seems to be very rare. Posting the download link here shouldn't harm others.
For osKitchen version number you mentioned in your PM, open the kitchen and use Help -> About. Don't know if this option was present in earlier builds, but at least in 1.33.5 it is.

I wasn't at the stage of using Mortscript in my ROMs yet. Untoggle hidden system files in Windows folder options did the trick, I found AutoRun.exe
Now I'm gonna sit and wait until the download is available...

Will do.
For the others that might experience this problem, the download link for EXT and OEM packages available here. These packages are untested, but I'm cooking them now. Thanks for the help. Scroll down for the fix.
So I think it's working now?
@All: please be aware, those packages are device-specific and for HTC Kovsky / SE Xperia X1!
Ok, tried replacing the existing packages with those from derliebewolf. Even when left untouched or using different (correct) commands there's still no customization. @derliebewolf, could you upload your "osKitchen.exe" and "Resources" directory for me? It's all I need, I can fill the kitchen from scratch there.
If this turns out to be a kitchen specific problem I won't hesitate posting it in the official osKitchen thread.
This is a pretty complicated problem to give advise.
Just a suggestion, didn't you modified/removed something from your initflashfiles.dat?
I mean the startup.
Compair it with a stock rom if you did and check if something is missing.
On my HD2:
Directory("\Windows\StartUp"):-File("ConfigureDevice.lnk","\Windows\ConfigureDevice.lnk")
Directory("\Windows\StartUp"):-File("bugtrap.lnk","\Windows\bugtrap.lnk")
Directory("\Windows\StartUp"):-File("HTCStartUp.lnk","\Windows\HTCStartUp.lnk")
Directory("\Windows\StartUp"):-File("PKG.lnk","\Windows\PKG.lnk")
Directory("\Windows\StartUp"):-File("SignatureReplace.lnk","\Windows\SignatureReplace.lnk")
Directory("\Windows\StartUp"):-File("Welcome.lnk","\Windows\welcome.lnk")

You tried everything possible so I taught maybe this could be possible.
On Xperia it's probably about the same.

You really need to leave the welcome.lnk line in there, or else you won't get the alignment screen and you can't boot the device up.
Found the issue: an incomplete initflashfiles.dat. By adding the lines below to a stock initflashfiles.dat the whole issue has been fixed.
Code:
Directory("\Windows\StartUp"):-File("CheckAutoRun.lnk","\Windows\CheckAutoRun.lnk")
Directory("\Windows\StartUp"):-File("AutoShortcut.lnk","\Windows\AutoShortcut.lnk")
Turned out a stock initflashfiles.dat file doesn't have those lines included by default. Thanks to all for the help, expect a new custom Xperia X1 ROM soon.
That's nice to hear, congrats.
Please at [SOLVED] to the topic title and I will link this thread to the solved cases sticky.

Which makes me woder whether those lines are missing in my initflashfiles.dat as well? RunCC is working perfectly anyway... Glad you solved it!
