For all those people who've been looking for the 2i splash screen (I've noticed a few threads with people asking where they can find the splash as they'd like to move back to it or change the splash if they're selling the phone, etc)...
...Managed to dig it out and save it
I couldn't see the splash on the FTP (the splash-logos/ folder has the 2s screen, but not the 2i), so here it is.
Bump as a couple of people have messaged me asking where the actual attachment is.

Look Closely at the screen of the Black PDA2K
Or is just a Copy and Paste.
Likely a Photoshop job.
Interesting application, no setup program, no instructions. Just the EXE to drag and drop onto your PDA2k and make your own shortcut.
Don't kill the curious, but since I don't trust programs right away, I examined it, and it's interesting to find out the "unlock password" is hardcoded in plain text in the EXE file.
what do you mean by: and it's interesting to find out the "unlock password" is hardcoded in plain text in the EXE file.
I think he means that the serial number that unlocks teh full features of the software are easily obtained within the exe file; or in other words, this is not a well made program.
However, I see no reason why anyone would want to photoshop in WM2005 to those 3 different screenshots and then hide it behind giant tags. Seems real to me.
You're probably trying to be hopeful, and I don't blame you - I can't fathom why rumors say "no WM2K5" to one of the most powerful and recent Pocket PC Phones on the market.
But, if you look at the image, 1. a camera snapshot of the phone wouldn't produce that clean of a screen image, and 2. there is no thin black border around the screen image as we have on our Blue Angel devices (meaning it's not edge-to-edge graphics on our screens).
Do you know of any black Blue Angel device that made it into production? I've only seen silver (perhaps different shades and tints, but no black toned Blue Angel)?
The author's website www.jgui.net is full of examples of his work in photo editing, and that appears to be his focus rather than his website design or PocketPC work (previous JGUI programs used to crash all the time on my previous Pocket PCs).
And yes, the unlock code is plain as day in the middle of the EXE file. Open in Notepad or a hex editor, and you can't miss it.
Of course theres a Black (blue angel)

Well, on closer inspection, BeyondtheTech, I actually have to agree.
There is indeed a black BlueAngel, the XDA O2 IIs. However, this device has O2 and XDA IIs clearly displayed on the top of the device, as do all the other BA devices to my knowledge. The one in that WM2005 picture does not, which means that it was likely edited out, so it wouldn't surprise me if the rest was editted too.
On close inspection of the actual screen itself, it does indeed look photoshoped.
vbguru613, what the hell is that device pictured in your link? Its definately a BlueAngel, but it seems to be labelled XDAIIi...odd...I guess O2 renamed things a few times in the process.
same model and a diff name.
they took off the logo (o2) because of a possible lawsuit ????
Or they dont wanna advertise
Wm 2005 fir BA

CAN YOU POST HERE YOUR SPLASH SCREEN FILES COLLECTION?
I THINK IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO HAVE HERE YOUR COLLECTION OF SPLASH SCREENS TO OTHER PEOPLE LIKE ME BE ABLE TO USE THEM.
I AM SEARCHING FOR THE QTEK ONE TO REPLACE MY T-MOBILE.
CAN YOU HELP ME TO FIND IT?
THANKS
First of all I am a newbie to flashing roms/unlocking/etc. I have an HTC TyTN II phone and have been reading for hours on how to change the bootscreen. (1st screen that pops up after powering the phone on) I kind of get an idea of how to do so but I guess I'm having compatibility issues or something with my computer running Vista 64 bit. Anyhow, I was able to flash my phone to one of the L26 diamond series roms and reflashed it with a different rom. My problem is that the bootscreen still shows the guy with a blue eye and says "L26 Diamond Series" on the bottom lower left corner. I want to change this back to the original "smart mobility" screen that the phone first came with or perhaps change it to some other HTC smart mobility screen. (I really love how the OEM original screens look) I hate the bootscreen on my phone right now. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Even better if you are located in the Southern California area and can help me in person. I'm willing to drive to you and perhaps even pay you. Please show me how it is done. I am a fast learner. Just a little overwhelmed right now that's all.
Appreciate your time.
Thanks in advance!
lol you can flash your rom but can't do the exact same thing for the splash screen.
funny
try doing a search "change bootscreen". You'd be surprised on what you find....
first of all to help you out that "boot screen" is called a splash screen if you say boot people will get confused thinking you mean the boot loader
second of all there are two ways to do it...
you can flash a new splash screen using a custom bootloader
or if it isn't cooked into your rom.....
you can change it through registry setting (just use schapps advanced configurator)
there are actually two different types of splash screens also... the one that is first that replaces your carier.
after that sometimes there is an animation ( you can use advanced configurator to enable disable and choose the animation)
and then the win mo splash screen.....
all of them are replaceable just search around for specifics on how to change them is not to hard
Figured it out!
I went ahead and used my friend's computer which is running Win XP and figured it out. It's a piece of cake now. Thanks for your help guys.

Thank you for replying with no scolding or sarcasm! I really appreciate it!
I have used Adv-Config3 to change the splash screen so not to have AT&T logo staring at me, but 'No Joy'. I assume it has to be a .gif? Or will other file types work?
thank you in advance.

It's actually really annoying that both screens while boothing are referred to as the splash screen. The splash screen that is referred to in Advanced config would more appropriately be called the welcome screen. To get rid of the very first screen which is also referred to as the splash screen you must flash a different one. If you search "custom splash screens" it will take you to a thread with a lot of different ones you can download. It's also pretty easy to create your own custom ones should you desire to do that as well.
I think the issue you're running into is that the one you're changing in advanced configu is supposed to be a .png file. Animated GIF's can be used, but think they're supposed to be named something different. I'll have to check and update my post.

The initial (Boot) screen when you first power on your phone has to be flashed like a ROM. Then, if you have a GIF file named animated.gif* in the \Windows directory, that image will display before moving on to the Welcome screen. The Welcome Screen is a PNG image named welcomehead69.png (or welcomehead.69.png) also found in the \Windows directory.
* AT&T-based ROMs change the registry key defining the name of the animated GIF, so you will need to edit that key after placing the GIF file in \Windows.
Hope this clears everything up.
To replace the L26 Page you need to follow these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334907

That's right, i was thinking it was called animated.gif, but that seemed to obvious i guess, thanks for the info man. I actually have the animated boot screen disabled in my defautl settings xml that runs during my UC so i never really looked into changing it. I should definitely make a custom welcomehead file though and put it in my UC to copy over for my truely presonalize feel lol. I always end up switching my own favorite radios with teh ones cooked in on almost every rom i've downloaded. I really like the 1.59.42.15 radio, but no chef's bundle it...fortunately some wonderful minds around here made it easy for people to put whatever radio they want in a rom

If it didn't change you'll have to flash it using a custom RUU because it is cooked in, you can learn how to do that here
quick question does anyone have a copy of the ATT picture that the tilt boots on? i need a real copy not some fake one.
or if someone with a original boot you know the 3G boot? Post the gif and i can take the first frame.
The Term is Splash Screen.
Now go search, Its out there.
I've been searching these forums to avoid asking something that has been asked.
But I can't find out how to change the first splash screen for my phone, the one that say, AT&T world Phone.
I've already changed the animation, and WM splash screen, I really wanna change the AT&T one to anime lol
Help?, you may proceed to call me a dumbass if you wish.
I think you can change that animation with Advance Configuration Tool (xda-developers forum thread/cab download site).
I am using the TESS Pride III rom and it is already installed in there.
Maybe I am wrong. I don't know. I'm pretty new to Windows Mobile too.
I've tried that, I've changed all the screens, except for that very first one
Same here. I'd really like to get rid of the AT&T initial splash screen. The one that comes up before the 'X' animation on the Energy ROMs.
Any ideas?
Thx
