BA WM5 Boot Logo (Stripes) changeable ?

I upgraded to WM5, but now I just have the stripes as my boot logo.
Is it possible to change these to something else ?
Tried various bootlogo changers, none seem to work.

Have you tried searching the forum? I think there has to be 10 threads that says that's impossible so far... :roll:

yes, I did.
I found this, which seems to indicate it might be possible:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=29897&highlight=wm5+boot+logo
I found this which says it is a program to do it on a himalaya:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=12898&start=100
(see end)
So that is why I posted. I am a net veteran and know to look before I ask thankyou very much.

No, they don't indicate any such thing. As of yet there's nothing that even whispers about the possibility of changing the boot image on this trial run of a WM5 version. The bootloader actually isn't even exclusive for the unit, if I remember correctly it has references to at least 3-4 other models. There are a few ideas, but nothing that has come to anything more.

This is in reference to the file "BstardWM5Splash.cab" that he posted on the same thread - the thread is entitled "CHANGING MDA III BOOT IMAGES TO YOUR LIKING"
Now unfortunately this guy then goes on to say that this file is for a Himalaya, but the post two after that by Mardanpet seems to be saying it works on his XDA IIs. I cannot tell who he is saying it worked to though.
So Bstard is saying for SURE he can do it on WM5 on a Himalaya.
And Mardanpet APPEARS to be saying it can be done on a BA.

Well it works for BlueAngels, but under wm2003,

So still nothing that works with BA under WM5. Really, isn't there more important stuff to get in? A screen you see maybe once or twice a week (at least that's about how often I see it with WM5 - I saw it a lot more with WM2003). Who cares?

I see it daily. I have to change SIMs
Besides, with my luck, something will happen to my phone again and I will have to send it off to O2 for repair.
Last time I did that, I had a cooked imate rom but had uploaded an O2 startup screen, so they didn't spot that it was a different OS and they repaired it under warranty (despite the fact that I had voided it by replacing the OS)
If they see the stripes I am screwed. They will flag an issue on that for sure !

Yey, wm2005 is stable. but due all that testing it becomes quite irritatable that striped screen.
BUT, i noticed, that when you insert owner info info in the device, and at the options when turned on are on.
the windows mobile screen pops up after the rom version,
At least a bit better then 20sec those lines on my screen.
:twisted: i wished we could change that second screen :twisted:

I may be inclined to go with that if it didn't spam me with my details every time I turned the screen on.
At boot is good enough for owner info - it is on the today screen anyway.
well spotted though pimbo

Hi i am new to this site so hello peeps...
Anyway i have had my qtek 2020i for about 3 months now and apart from the odd reset (that i have done) its been a useful tool.
Now the other morning it decided to have a freak out and the start menus locked up. I tried to do another reset but nothinge changed..
Now my dilemma is....i performed a hard reset and now the screen will not align...it asks me to tap to set up my device and i start tapping the little crosses but it will not work..i seem to be tapping the crosses for ever with no luck. Can anybody help?
thanks in advance.

Sounds like "Take it back to the shop" time to me.
Something far wrong mate.

spot on simple logic i suppose cheers geez

hehe, you could try a rom update or reflash, might be a problem with the rom

I got the new unit it was working fine......then i restored the backup that my last phone took before it went away and guess what....the problem returned :evil: .
Anyway i reflashed the rom with the qtek one and its sorted. :lol:
What is the best rom in your eyes for the alpine device?

The last O2 ROM with Pugs adaption, the 1.3 radio included.
Search for Pug it should come up with a link to his rom.
The newest O2 rom has an older radio version(1.0) because it has Blackberry support (which i will never use)

I am hardly recommend 1.04 radio version. It solved 3 issues for me and made my phone recieve signal better! This is "must have" version of radio!

My Wizard keeps rebooting!

Hello people,
I'm new to posting on this forum so please go ease on me I've been reading the forums for quite some time now, since i have my wizard (back in June i think). That is when i unlocked and flashed my Wizard with a WM6.1 rom. And this was succesfully, i'm very happy with it and never had any problems, hooray!
So far so good, but this all changed untill recently. Some weeks ago, my Wizard started acting funny, it kept rebooting at random moments. It's not in a loop or something, it just reboots on random moments. In calls, in games, in the menu, just random.
Now i know this is not a software problem, since i never changed any software after flashing and i also have these random reboots when in bootloader....
Can anybody help me with this?
I should also note that i suspect my battery, since it looks old, slightly bulged out but most importantly, my battery life is normal when not calling, but after a call the battery can be drained from 100% to 30% with just one short phone cal..
/edit: Just had another reboot, this time i looked at the battery meter....It was full when i turned on the phone, and now it says my battery is empty...Now i really suspect the battery Just want to rule out anything else

I had similar issues - and the battery was the culprit. Get a new battery, your troubles should go away

Did you also happen to have other problems, regarding calling itself? My friends complain a lot about my not picking up my phone or reading text messages, and when i check my Wizard the calls are not there.....and a lot of people calling me get my voicemail directly when calling me, that shouldn't happen :/ All this when i have full reception :S Could this also have something to do with the battery? My guess is not but i sure hope so, that would solve two problems at once

Those are more than likely software related issues. Can be the rom itself, or the radio version you are using.
Which WM 6.1 did you flash, can you provide some details as to IPL/SPL - radio version, etc ??
For instance, my IPL / SPL is 2.26
My radio version is 2.26 also

Had a very similar experience to yours myself. A new battery fixed the problem. I dunno about that bulging battery of yours... sounds a bit ominous.

Erm let's see, i also flashed the IPL/SPL and radio software after the romflash, IPL/SPL is now 3.08 and GSM (radio?) is now 02.25.11. I think it used ti be 2.26 before flashing. As for the rom, i can't remember. I did some searching on the forum and i think it's [02 Jul] Wm.6.1 Os.19588 - Dutch - Beta! wich can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393841&highlight=dutch

I took some time and went through the threads for the Dutch Beta, but am limited by my language. I flash english versions only - so not much help I am afraid.
I would recommend you post your dropped and missed call issue directly into the rom you identified above - others may be having - or had similar issues and a quick easy fix is available.
But in the end - you need a battery for sure
Good luck

Okay, just ordered a brand new battery today wich should arrive tomorrow by mail When my Wizard proves to be stable i will flash a new ROM and see if that fixes that problem as well Many thanks for your help
P.S: I'm looking for a battery cover and a stylus, since my battery cover is missing one hook (so it won't close perfectly) and i never had a stylus since i bought my Wizard from a friend, who lost it

Hey Johrizz,
You should be able to find a stylus and battery door on google shopping and / or ebay. I just ordered a pack of stylus's for a couple bucks and a dollar for shipping. I've seen battery door's for sale for about 8-10 dollars... Just make sure to notice the shipping charges LOL.
I don't know if it's really required but here's what I tend to do with a new battery and have had good success.
1) for the first charge (and anytime I'm going to flash a new ROM) charge it fully (till the light is green and not orange) with the AC charger and not the USB / computer cable.
2) flash a stock operator rom and test it for a day or so to make sure the Wizard doesn't have some other hardware problem, weird battery drainage, etc.
3) Once you're sure that your Wizard is stable and FULLY CHARGED Flash your favorite ROM
Good luck with it!

W 6.5 Roms: Keyboard Problem

Hi guys, i'm using on my x1 windows mobile 6.5 rom since first beta. I have tried alla kind of rom. As far as i know i have always had a problem that create me some trouble. The x1 hardware keyboard seems laggy and very slow. Also FN key take a lot of pressures to activate. Someone else is having the same problem? Just to know if it's mine broken. I don't want to go back to 6.1 to try.
Thanks
Luca

I've had a similar issue to this too since using the 6.5 roms, also along with the lag it double inputs the character selected sometimes. If anyone knows a fix fort his would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Is it laggy and slow in every program? For me it works very well. Only thing is my m-key is kinda broken, not a software issue i figure though.

That's how my m-key is broken, one in ten times it types two Ms on one press. But it isn't like that on any other character.

I have experienced same issues like you did. The Fn key works only when I put lot of pressure on it (didn't succeed to determine which is the most suitable position) so, I've been forced to find other alternatives (soft keyboards). But, what's important is to find out if this is a hardware problem or is simply related to the new ROM installments which I play with...
Any opinion/suggestion is more then welcome...
Thanks

It's not a wm 6.5 related problem... there're tons of guys having this problem, and soon they're going to increase, cause it seems to get worse with time...
my keyboard has reached an unusable state, and the left half of the keyboard type twice or nothing.
The first thing you can try is to longer the time for input replication... if it doesn't work, then send it to SE, and hope to receive it back in a little time
I'm waiting to find a good alternative to X1, then send it to assistance, and when it comes back sell it... never buying SE products anymore
searching with google get many results... this is the first:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=489331

oh let me tell you something real that is happening.
1.keyboard is crap if u dont use the buttons daily ,you will have this problem(i have it too)
2. same as my camera button( i press half way to auto focus and then press it fully to take a picture. but now it auto focus and when i press fully,the camera will auto focus again and shoot the pictures )
i dunno what is wrong with X1 ,but htc has make a bull**** things for SE.(happy that SE decided to leave them).

ok so seem to be an hardware problem; i'll dismount mine x1 to see if there's dust or something else under the keyboard.

I reached to the same conclusion like you did. Seems like most of the SE X1 keyboards have problems, as well like the battery life (btw, last night, in stand-by mode, my X1 battery drained out completely without having any process/program running)...
Speaking about SE X1 in general, yes could be taken as a kind of failure but we don't have to forget is made by HTC. So, they could be blamed as well for this lack of success!
Or maybe there was also a sabotage around, who knows?

time to get X2

Strange Slow Down Issue

hi
plz tell me if any one hv solution for this.
I hv m1000 wid Broken screen which i hv replaced today and updated my m1000 from WM5 to WM6. But the Start Menu takes 20-25 seconds to pop up. All other Menu like Tap and hold are also taking same time to popup. volume Bubble aslo hv same issue and there is no sound. Every thing else is working fine like file explorer, other programs , phone ETC.
I hv tried these
1. Switch back to old LCD .(No luck)
2. Switch back to different wm5 and wm6 rom. (same issue)
3. Switch back to wm3 Rom.(Every thing works well)
4. Too many Hard Reset.(no luck)
5. Battery Removal for long time.(no luck)
6. DOC re partitioning.(no luck)
GOT MY DEVICE FIXED
Thanks to all here for their support. I got my device fixed. Problem was in my New Lcd it has a faulty Belt which only works if some pressure is applied on it so i putted a rubber behind it and now it is working. But bad luck is that i hv given the Positive feedback for that LCD on ebay.

hi
Ye i had the same issue. Keep reflashing until a rom gets to a decent speed then reflash back to the rom you want.
Or it might be that the rom is not for himalaya?
Definately keep reflashing.
it worked with me
BTW: The rom in the signature picture is wrong i think.
My rom is WM 6.5 CE OS 5.2.23409.5.4.0 by zjw831

I hv reflashed alot but the problem is still there But One of Ather's Rom is working little good. at that rom Start Menu is working But no Sound and Other POPUP Menus are still Very Slow.
And signatures are not wrong cause i hv 4 devices.

it could be a faulty RAM, or you screwed the device too hard or too lose, try to check that

hi nd thnks for ur support.But how a faulty device works in WM3.and will a faulty Ram behave differently with diff. roms?

It´s because diffent parts of the memory are used. Look at aeroflylubys kitchen. He has got an equal issue with broken ram. He can´t flash/use WM6.5 anymore. On WM 6.1 everything works fine. Strange, but not impossible! Good Luck.
PS: As Senior I guess you know how to hard reset, as it differs from Wm2k3!

hey I hv just open my device nd chk for any physical damage. But nothing is there. And after re-assembling
1. Sound Works.
2. No slowdown at all.
3. Backlight Goes permanently off. (during boot also)
I hv tried the wm3 rom now it has sound but no backlight and no TOUCH in wm3.

It is a hardware issue, for sure!
Check the wires between TS and MB, but be carefull. One mistake and you will wreck your device!

yep, its a hardware issue, try to re-assemble it
