XDA 2i O2 original splash screen (attachment inside!)

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.

Custom Splash is very low res

I am playing with creating a custom splash screen using lewcamino's instructions in the home cooked rom thread found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=958523&postcount=72 . I have gone through and installed my splash screen, but it is a very low res. Can anyone give me any tips as to what I'm doing wrong. I created the picture in PS elements. My BMP looks great, but when I extract a test image from my nk.nbf file I make it looks all messed up.
TIA

The splash screen of Wizard can't support more than 256 colours, and hence your issue. I suggest you use a simple picture for your purpose, might work better

Have you seen this tutorial? It might point you in the right direction. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284006

thanks vseehua I'll try simplifying it. As I recalled the splash screens of teh various ROM's I've loaded I started to realize this must be my problem.
Demontefixo, thanks I had seen that tut...thats what got me started. I had posted at teh end with a few problems, but it turned out it was related to my POS computer I was working on.
Thanks for your help. When I get a splash I'm happy with I'll post it. The reason I like the tut I linked to earlier is that it is a very easy installed file, and now that I've done it, its not very tough to put together

setting this as gif wallpaper

i am trying to set this as an antimated wallpaper i dl the suu2 program but it only sets it as a screen saver.. i have also tried animated today and it doesnt let you import gifs... any suggestions?
thanks

Well there are threads in the WIKI to show you how to do it, but I will help you today. First you name the GIF file to "animated" WITHOUT QUOTATIONS. Second you need to copy the file to your DEVICE. Third use a registry editor to MOVE the file to the \Windows\ folder. I can already see there might be questions so I added some pictures below.
Here is the ACTUALLY WIKI LINK.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=338779&highlight=boot+splash+kaiser
You will have to READ a few pages through it to get a link to GIF pages, but you know what, it will be good for you thats all part of being here. You are lucky I was bored, if you can't tell already.
**Also a picture tutorial in my signature under cab files called "How To Change Startup Screens"**

sorry.. that is not what i am wanting to do... i have a wall paper that is in gif format of blue flames.... i am wanting to set it as my wallpaper i seen a plugin for that but cant find it now... thanks for the info about change the start up animation..

Don't even bother, it's too much of a hassle. You'll need FlashThemes CE I believe, but I've tried it and all the GIFs turn out like crap. Avoid it like the plague. Plus, a GIF background may consume your battery faster.

Need help changing bootscreen please.

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

HTC Pure How do I change ATT World Phone?

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
