Hi,
I've read through the WiKi on the extended ROM on the blue angel, and i think i have a basic understanding of how it works now.
I have several CAB files (Microsoft .NET framework CAB files, and some of my own). Would i be right in saying that to put these into my Extened ROM all i have to do is...
- Unlock The Extended ROM folder on my blue angel
- Paste in the CAB files
- Edit the config file to add my CAB files to the execute list.
- ReLock Extended ROM
Would that work? If i were to create this extended ROM arranngement would it be possible to install it on several XDA IIs so that they would always automatically reinstall my program upon a hard reset? I was also wondering if it would be possible to customise things like the splash screen, menus, and hardware button settings within the Extended ROM?
I hope that wasnt to much of a long question!! Any ideas or thoughts would be great!
Many Thanks
James.
but also remember there is a limitation on the rom max of file size is 16MB.
happy cooking
As i'm a newbe in PPC..n have read all in this forum...that such hard things to change bootsplash image on BlueAngel, is there anyway to change it rather than four coloured strip
As i read from ExtendedRomSourceFileFormat.xls i've downloaded from FTP that in ms_.nba file -> splash image addressed on 0x010080 with its length 153600 in bytes. How bout in nk.nbf / nk.nba?
Is it have the same address..?? n how do i can replace it with other image file (of course in same size)...sorry if i'm wrong :wink:
i need some suggestions.
For Tuatara n Mamaich, bravo for u'r great effort. Hopefully it fixed on Tuma 1.5.
Sorry, for my bad english too...

Didnt work for me
Ive tried that and it didnt work for me on my PH20B1. I wish I was able to see or even make the Cingular boot splash comes up when Im using 2oo3Se but of course you see the 4 block colors over it.
I have done it on my Siemens SX66 Blue Angel Variant and it worked just fine. (PH20B1)
Make sure to copy the files into the right directory. I noticed that once i downloaded the files, i wasn't able to copy the files into the BA due to write protection on the files. Once I turned that off, I was able to copy it and manually change the registry files.
:idea:
How did you manually install it into your Siemens SX66? I went back to 2oo3SE mainly because there arent alot of QVGA skins for Wisbar Advance & Wisbar Advance Desktop however if I decide to which back to WM5 I would be interested in changing the boot splash. I would love to take a visit to my local Cingular Retail where I live and show off my Siemens SX66 with WINDOWS MOBILE 5.
Coloured Strip Bootsplash Remained Still
It also work for my Blue Angel (PH20B - O2 XDA IIs) too.
But, coloured strip bootsplash image still remained for while before it change into my own bootsplash image which changed by that bootsplash image changer tool. It work fine on my device, when I use 2003SE.
Have the answer ?? :?:
So do I have to install it on WM2oo3SE first then install WM5?

Nop. I mean...when I use WM5, the coloured stripe bootsplash image still remained. In other word, we can't totally change the coloured strip bootsplash image with that tool.
But, when I use WM2003SE, the original O2 bootsplash image can be replaced/changed with my own design image
I don't think procedure u mentioned (install WM2003SE then WM5) will work. coz I've already try it but Mr.Coloured Strip Bootsplash still show his nose up.. :lol:
People; how can make a cab that automatically makes the settings for GPRS, MMS, WAP etc.? Every time I upgrade my pda2k to a new GREAT ROM, I have to make these settings manually. And as you know, GREAT developers on this site works hard and provide us with the latest unofficial ROMs in a short time.
PS: I'm not a programmer, so telling me only 'use a cab manager' won't be enough...
The helmi roms already have this, look for the "operator" cab files.
My operator isn't in the list. So I need to prepare a cab file by myself...

This should help give you an idea of what you're looking for;
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_PersonalCAB
When I did the Orange UK cabs I basically extracted the settings from the cabs that came in the original WM2003 ExtROM (that my phone came with). Then I created new cabs using WinCE Cab Manager by copying the ones Helmi shipped with his ROM and replacing the settings with the extracted Orange ones.
I have attached the relevant files I used, you could possibly hand edit these and then make cabs yourself if you can't find the settings shipped with your phone.
Thanks, I will try this.
Hey Guys, just wondering what the status is on any new Rom for our treos.
Well.. My laptop is cluttered with hacked up ROMs. I haven't really sorted out a good direction to take as far as additions, subtractions etc. The extended ROM took me some time to figure out, but here's what I know so far.
There are two file in extended ROM - one is the carrier database which holds configs for the data settings (carrierdb) The other file is a compressed package of customizations (cappackage). Both have the extension "pxp" but are standard zip files.
Inside the package file are various cabs and xml files which write config data to the registry via the provisioning api. There is a primary xml config file which directs the installation of everything in the package. Autorun and config.txt are not used on the Treo.
There is no extended ROM .nb reader/writer that works on the Treo extended ROMs. However you can use the Hermes extended ROM creator to build an nb, and then using a hex editor go in and lop off everything beyond a particular address (don't have the address in front of me at the moment). This is because the extended ROM size on the Treo is smaller than on the Hermes.
What I'll probably do real soon is create a OS-only ROM based on the Aussie release and include an empty extended ROM which can be unlocked and used for storage. Once I upload the various extended ROMs folks can pick and choose what they want from them.

Thanks for your quick response. If I can help you in any way, please let me know.
*** DEVELOPMENT STOPPED! ***
Hi everyone!
Initially I've started this thread because I wanted to have back the default HTC boot and WM6 splash screens. I have flashed with a ROM that had replaced these boot screens with other images which (hope the cooks won't get too upset because of this) I did not like.
So I went searching and searching all over and when nothing popped up, wanted to ask someone - by starting this thread - to cook, make, replace, do whatever needs to be done for me to "get my default screens back". I'm sure you figured it out by now that I didn't succeed, either my thread was unimportant or nobody had it, anyway...
Read the Wiki article over and over till one day I said "I'll do it!" - and I did.
That's how the old "request" thread turned into today's thread.
Initially wanted to keep it as the title states it, "Default" but that would have meant the end of this thread. My buddy fktsndr popped in with a few more links from his great reference thread and the idea became clear. I'm currently thinking about extending the thread to wallpapers too, but have not made up my mind completely yet.
Now enought with history.
Fell free to post any of your work, request, observations and ideas, but please, do keep in mind a few rules before posting:
YOU ARE FREE TO USE ANY OF THE FILES POSTED HERE, THOUGH YOU ARE DOING IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
1. Do not take credit for someone else's work. Feel free to post but specify the author/source!
2. Do not double post.
3. Do not leave any posted work without a screenshot/image. Users have to be able to see what it's all about.
4. Read the Wiki page for creating your own boot screen ROM.
5. Test the files before you upload your work!
6. Do upload archived (zip, rar, other) files since uploading images directly somehow makes them smaller.
7. Will figure some more out!
Happy modding!

Default HTC and WM6 boot screen available!
For those of you who want a classic look of your Trinity while booting, I've made some default boot screens suitable for white and also black Trinities.
See post #6 for the files!
Cheers!

Good work, thanks
The files!
The white and the black splashes.
I tested the ROMs flashing from SD card, renaming the ROMs to "TRINIMG.nbh" (without the quotes) and following standard procedure.
Cheers!
OS splash screens!
For the WM6 OS splash screens, below is the original WM6 green splash. I've also made a black one to suit your "dark" needs
The file name should be "welcomehead.96.jpg" (without the quotes). Copy over to DEVICE\Windows.
For overwriting issues use a third party file browser like Total Commander.
Good luck!
HTC splash screen (not my work):

...a little bit cut off, dimensions of 225 x 320 pixels but let's hope it's just the thumbnail.
Otherwise nice splash.
Cheers!
P.S.: Checked! It's good!
EDITED
HTC startup animation is DELETED, it was only the cab for music, not for the animation, sorry!

HTC animation:
It is a cab file, you have to copy to device and install it.
Splash Screen WITH NBH extension:
-Select a rom package
-extract is to a folder (you will get these files in the folder: RUUresource,RUUGetinfo,RUU_Signed,RomUpdateUtiliy,Rapitool,Enterbootloader)
-delete the RUU_signed.nbh file
-copy here the splas screen nbh file, and rename it to RUU_Signed.nbh
-Run RomUpdateUtility (of course plug the device to usb)
Note: itt will flash only the splash screen, not the full rom!
Welcome screen (os splash screen):
see post 7!
