It's probably because the program will instruct (in registry) the device to use jpg file and you have bmp file as an wallpaper under programs>Slide2Unlock>GFX>Res.
Using a registry explorer go to HKEY_Current_User>Software>A_C>Slide2Unlock, and look for Wallpaper (string value). If it says bmp file change that to jpg and it should be fine.

This is a howto for editing all the splashscreens of your Wizard.
There are several tutorials however none of them deal with all 3 of them.
I myself had a lot of searching before I found the way to change HTC Logo.
All info is already on this forum, I only wrote this little tutorial, changed a tool and created some scripts to ease your work..
I have changed a few steps (just to make it easier)
I have included every program and file used.
WARNING:
DO NOT PROCEED IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE STEPS.
Do not blame me if you brick your phone, your house burns down, your girlfriend gets pregnant and all other catastrophies..
1st step: Splashscreen1 the HTC Logo
The HTC logo is the first splash screen you see (its the screen without the IPL/SPL ETC data).
It is a 240 W x 320 H 24 bits bitmap, but it is compressed..
In order to make a HTC_Logo Splash screen do the following:
1a) Create a 240x320 (Portrait!!) bitmap save it as 24 bits bitmap.
1b) Call this file htc.bmp and copy it to the folder with my files.
1c) Doubleclick htc-compres.bat -> Now a file called "HTC_Logo.nb" is created. The size of this file should be exactly 65536 bytes *
2nd Step: Splashscreen2 the Splash Screen
The Splash Screen is the second splash screen you will see when booting the phone
It is again a 240 W x 320 H 24 bits bitmap.
2a) Create a 240x320 (Portrait!!) bitmap save it as 24 bits bitmap.
2b) Call this file splash.bmp and copy it to the folder with my files.
2c) open nb_image_converter.exe; load your splash.bmp and click save .nb; call this file signed.002 ( not signed.002.nb )
2d) doubleclick splash2.bat. A file called signed-splash.nb is now created. The size of this file should be exactly 196608 bytes
3rd Step: Create the splash-installer.
3a) run nbfsplash-tool.exe (this file has been modified by me in order to simplify the process)
3b) Model ID is wizard (don't change)
- Choose the language of your rom (eg. WWE)
- leave OEM version; Operator version and CID empty ( So don't change!!!)
3c) Check File #1 and add the signed-splash.nb file; select the image name "Splash screen" and click the start address
-it should read "92000000" don't change!!
3d) Check File #2 and add the htc_logo.nb file file; select the image name "HTC Logo" and click the start address
-it should read "9D000000" don't change!!
3e) Click translate. a file called nk.nbf is created.
3f) open RUU_SPLASH.zip and drag and drop the nk.nbf.
3g) rename RUU_SPLASH.zip to RUU_SPLASH.exe
Now you are ready to flash your splash files.
doubleclick the RUU_SPLASH.exe and follow the well known actions (it will be done in less than a minute).
4rd Step: Splashscreen3 the Welcomehead.96.png
It is the third splash screen you will see when booting the phone
It is a 240 W x 320 H png file.
4a) Create a 240x320 (Portrait!!) bitmap save it as a 24 bits bitmap.
4b) Call this file welcomehead.bmp and copy it to the folder with my files.
4c) doubleclick welcomehead.bat, now a file called welcomehead.cab is created.
4d) install the cab on the phone.
Have Fun.

Attached: tools you need.

In order for this to work you need the MSVC 8.0 runtimes:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...EE-A3F9-4C13-9C99-220B62A191EE&displaylang=en
Note: If your own bitmap is compressed and the HTC_Logo.nb exceeds the 64K limit, the bitmap is too complex. The Lz compression can't handle it.
Save the BMP as a gif file, then open the gif and save it again as a bmp. The compression of gif is enough to simplify the bitmap.
Then try 1b-1c again.
If it still is not enough, then you'll have to convert to jpeg (try lowest compression first!) and re-convert it to BMP, after that try 1b-1c again..
created some more scripts
I have added some scripts in order to eliminate the use of a hex-editor.
Made a cab-creator to change the welcomehead.96.png.
Modified the tut (simplified).

Following your instructions I have created the file [htc.bmp] then clicked the file [htc-compres.bat] nothing happens.
section 2 works fine.
Sugestion for where I'm going wrong?

It's not your fault!
I forgot to include a file.
Now it has been included in the zip file in the first post.
[edit]
removed the file because startpost had been updated some time ago..

Thanks for that, works a treat.
finally i can modify the HTC-Logo by myself! thanks a lot!!
I tried. Problems here:
I made a 240x320 24bit BMP file (htc.bmp, i double check its properties), after i run htc-compres.bat, a file named HTC_Logo.nb was created, so far so good? no, the file size WASN'T 65,535 but 119,004, any hints?

If your own bitmap is compressed and it exceeds the 64K limit, the bitmap is too complex. The Lz compression can't handle it.
I encountered it once, I saved it as a gif file, and then opened it again and saved it again as a bmp. The compression of gif was enough to simplify the bitmap.
It won't work always, in some cases you even have to convert to jpeg (try lowest compression first!) and than back again.
Superb - I love it whena plan comes together.
Great little tutorial, worked a treat.
Cheers

great work. makes my life easyer.thanks!!!!!
I'm using a wizard, i had no problems changing splash screen using other thread instructions, but theres something i can't get here; you guys talk about 2 or even 3 different splashes, i had only one;] seriously, first there goes the splash i uploaded, then after a few seconds, the same picture with rom, radio etc numbers on it... is it other than usually? enlight me;]
also... you may find it a bit funny, i havent ask anyone yet... my wiz. boots quite long... it's more then 2 minutes usually, sometimes it's longer... i seriously doubt it's normal, but haven't have time to hard reset yet... tell me please, how funny is it for you?

The 1st screen you see (without rom radio spl etc) is the HTC Logo
The 2nd screen you see (with rom radio spl etc) is the splash
The 3rd screen you see (again without rom radio spl etc) is the welcomehead of windows mobile 5.0
A lot of roms use the same picture for the first 2 screens.
Some may even use the same as welcomehead.
Excelent Work
Nice job,
Can I put this how-to on Molski.Biz?
Offcourse I will give you the credits for it

HI there,
I am a newbie and wanted just download the first file of this posting, but I am not able to download it due to access restrictions or something like that. I am able to download the BLC.EXE but I need the first file. Maybe someone can help?

That would be great.
I used a registry tweak to disable the default AT&T dialer and now I want to change out the images. I am having a problem copying clg_in.gif, clg_miss.gif, clg_out, and spd_lst.gif into the \windows directory. I keep getting an access denied error message. I have turned off the phone and did a soft reset, but that didn't make any difference.
I have attempted to replace the files using my desktop computer and File Explorer.
Does anyone have a solution so I can copy over the four new files?
Thank you.
resco explorer allows you to force the copy.
Thank you.

I will give it a try. Thank you.
Update...
I downloaded Resco File Explorer and installed it. I copied the four images to \windows and after confirming the files copied. I can see the correct images in \windows. I did a soft reset but the old images are still showing. I verified that the new images are in \windows. Why are the old images (AT&T crap) still showing?
Thank you.
Bumping = Bad
Sorry to bump my own thread, but I'm fairly confident that someone knows how to correct this problem.

its probably a cache issue, such as if u put a picture on a contact, then delete the picture, the picture is still on the contact.
but, i dont know how to do what you are asking.
You can just flash the rom im sure there are more customizable friendly roms out there.
Using a registry editor to change the following value
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\StartupAnimation\ GIFFile
To: \Windows\custom.gif
doesn't work on a Wing.... does anyone know why?
Honestly havent tried it. Have you tried over writing the image that is listed as the splash screen?
Works fine on mine. I am running the official Tmo rom though.
Does anyone know how to replace the Windows Mobile splash?

For the Win Mobil Screen you can use any bmp or jpg in 240*320 pixel.
Rename it xxx.bmp or xxx.jpg to welcomehead.96.png and put it in the Windows folder on your Mobil. Use TC or Resco for it to work, simply copy with the Fileexplorer won't do it.

Hello,
I have applied the KaiserTweak and changed the settings to hide SIM contacts, but they keep on showing after a reset. How do you ensure that they are hidden completely.
I am concerned about the problem because I just received my Bluetooth Headset (HBH-DS980), and it can't retrieve contacts information from my device.
I would appreciate any assistance,
sincerely, MN
try this
Andics,
thanks very much. I saw this cab earlier. When i download it onto my mobile device, i'm unable to run the *.cab file -- it still opens as an *.xml file when I double-click on it.
I've attached a screen shot of the contents of the zipped file...
what can i do next?

You probably have pocketRAR or something that handles cab as a compress file and it's telling the system to extract the CAB file !!!
I installed the cab file fine ... run it ... don't extract it !!

If your talking about pictures that you only want viewable in something like "Astro File Manager" you could put a dot in front of the folder in question.
For example, for the pictures I have of my GF, i hide it by naming the folder ".GF" and it wont show in Gallery at all... but if you use a file browser like Astro you can view the files by going into the folder.
In Linux, a dot before the name of the folder usually means a hidden folder, hence thats why gallery won't pick it up then.
ive added dots to the beginning of some of the folder, but they are still appearing in the gallery
try using the nomedia file.
connet your phone to your computer, go to the file you don't want pic, music or whatever from create a new txt file open it, save as name nomedia change file type ot all files remove the .txt extention and then delete the first .txt file..
works for me...

ok i didnt understand all of what you said but i will try
ok that didnt work either. i think its because the images i am trying to hide are in a .zip file. for example the themes that you can download for lock 2.0 and weather widgets donate. anyone know how to hide these images?
so none has a solution to this problem?

If you wana hide pic, you can use advanced launcher to just hide the gallery. Images in a zip should not come up in your gallery unless the zip was extracted. I think you my have images in your "download" folder. Just move them somewhere else and they shouldn't come up anymore
