Bootscreen and splashses

Hi my HTC TYtn2 comes with a cool animated boot/splash screen..
After the loading of the versions, etc...."it says smart mobility"
then a logo of animated htc will play before it goes to a static "windows mobile 6"
so if i were to flash a custom rom,. will it erase my animated pic?? anyone know where to get that cab or something before i flash..so if i dont like i can just flash the boot/splash screen

If u use the latest version of kaiser tweak u can disable the opening splash screen.

The animation is in the Windows Folder named "animated.gif". Its hidded so u have to unhide it with a application like Resco Explorer. Just backup the animated.gif file and place it back into the Windows Folder after flashing....

Excuse me for my ignorance, but can someone explain the process on how to replace the splash screen?

Easiest way would be to download Kaiser Tweak here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=333898 be sure to get the latest xml file by Nikagl there's an option to disable the startup animation in it, along w/a bunch of other recommended settings.

Hi seree86, to replace the splashscreen by another do it this way:
Just make your picture 240x320 (or 320x320 for landscape and portrait booting), save as welcomehead.96.png and copy to \windows\ on the Kaiser.
Of course it would be useful to backup your original welcomehead.96.png before, so you can switch back if you want to.
It may be necessary to use Resco Explorer or the freeware app Total Commander, I'm not sure anymore if this worked with the "standard" file explorer.
For more information see following thread:

Have a nice weekend and a happy new year,
Hans Olo
EDIT: To change your startup animation overwrite the the animated.gif in your \windows folder with one of the abovementioned file explorers. If you don't want to overwrite it copy your otherwise named GIF in \windows. Afterwards use a regisry editor like e.g. the freeware PHM Regedit, goto hklm\software\htc\startupanimation\GIFFile and edit the string to \windows\*filenameofanimation*.gif. You can also disable the startup animation the way brianlb described in the post above.

White splash screen

I'm trying to create and flash a custom splash screen to my kaiser. I,ve created an image in photoshop, and saved it as a 24 bit bitmap. So far so good. Then I open the bmp in nb_image_converter and convert it to a .nb file. I then open up htcrt, and choose kaiser from the device drop-down. Leaving all fields (model ID, Country ID, version etc.) at their default values, I load the .nb file into the splash box and build the Ruu_Signed.nbh, choosing to pad the file with 0's. Everything seems to go well, but when I flash the file, all I get is a blank white splash screen. What am I doing wrong? I would really like to have a custom splash to show off!! HEEEEELP!!

Shameless bump.

Was searching for a solution to the same problem you had.
Did you manage to fix it in the mean time?

Did you convert .nb file again with SplashTool? I gues not

I took the following steps:
Created a 24 bit BMP file.
Used nbimg.exe to convert the file to splash.nb
After this I used NBHUtil.exe to create the .nbh file.
At the end I flashed the device using CustomRUU.
Strange thing is that when I try splash screens by other people the screen stays white. Flashing complete ROM now to see if it helps.
Update: probably screwed things up. Even when flashing a new ROM the splash screen stays white :S
It does show the information on the bottom while booting.. ...will continue searching

You haven't used SplashTool after converting bmp file to nb.! Read my previous post

Sorry 'bout this.. ..been looking for about 4 hours now for a solution.
Can't even think straight :S I'm having this problem with the Diamond so it should not be even in here!
Did tried the SplashTool btw everything looked successful but the splash screen stays white. Will post in the Diamond section now.
TnX 4 the help. Got the idea I kinda screwed up the splash part of the device.

New VGA Boot and Splash Screens (now with manila background!)..

Got a little confusing, so I'm rewriting this post:
Here are a few boot and welcome splash screens I made (as well as a transparent PNG of the HTC logo that I drew from hand in case anyone wants it ... It's the fourth image down there, named transHTC.png).
Each one of these can be used as a welcome splash screen pretty easily ... All you have to do is rename the image to 'welcomehead.192.png" and stick it in the windows folder. You may run into permissions issues, but you can change the permissions on the file using something like Total Commander.
If you don't want to mess with permissions, I've included a cab file for the blue floral background + windows mobile 6.1 text image (the first image named welcomehead.192.png) called "splash.cab". Note: This cab will overwrite your current welcome splash screen image and can not be uninstalled (afterall, all it's doing is overwriting an image.) I can make other cabs for the other images upon request.
I've also included two roms (RAPHIMG.zip and HTC_logo_w.zip) that you can flash to replace the default boot splash screen. The first one, RAPHIMG.zip, contains the rom with the blue floral background and HTC logo while the second one, HTC_logo_w.zip, contains the plain white with HTC logo. Flash them the same way you'd flash other nbh files, either by using RUU or the SD card method. To perform the SD card method:
1) Unzip the zip file and rename the included nbh file to "RAPHIMG.NBH"
2) Put the RAPHIMG.NBH file in the root of your SD card.
3) Reset your device using the button on the bottom (next to the miniUSB port) while holding down the Volume Down button.
NOTE: This will put your device into the bootloader ... don't be alarmed!
4) Follow the prompts to flash the new rom (don't worry, it only affects the splash screen.)
5) When everything is done, reset the device again using the button on the bottom and stare in awe at your beautiful new splash screen.

Would it be possible for you to make one for the first bootscreen with the htc logo? Would be greatly appreciated , I just installed this one and its is Great! I am keeping it

I made a plain white one not too long ago over here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=465172
I'll make one with the same floral background but the HTC logo instead of the text tomorrow and package it up as a rom (splash only of course) so keep an eye out for it.
I'll make some more if there is an interest.

Can you please make a cab for your upcoming one

Made one myself... Not my image but I made the cab file for it.
VGA ONLY!

Can someone make one with the black default diamond background?

lotion said:
I got sick of my old splash screen so here's a new one. Just run splash.cab.
Note: This is the loading splash screen, not the boot splash. VGA, portrait only.
EDIT:
I added a matching boot screen and packaged it up as a rom (RAPHIMG.zip). You can flash it like you would any other ROM (it only overwrites the splash, everything else remains intact). The easiest way to flash it is as follows:
put RAPHIMG.NBH in the root of your SD card.
Hit the reset button on the bottom of your Touch Pro while holding the Volume Down button. You'll go into the bootloader.
Follow the prompts. When it's done flashing, hit the reset button again.
Oh, and one more just for kicks.
Here's a boot splash with just the HTC icon (HTC_logo_w.zip). I ended up drawing it by hand because I couldn't find one large enough for my liking.
I've also included the HTC icon I drew on a transparent background (the seemingly larger HTC logo below) in case anyone wants to use it. All I ask is that you give credit to me for drawing it.
And here's another welcome splash using the default manila background.

hey was wondering which picture is the splash cab of before i dled it??? i like the second one with the htc symbol an the blue back round thanx!!

splash.cab is the blue background with the Windows Mobile 6.1 text.
I'll make cabs of the other ones tomorrow. You can always try renaming the images to welcomehead.192.png and putting them in your Windows folder in the meantime.

Do I need to flash HardSPL before I change my default splash screen by following the above directions? Does it remove the entire AT&T splash screen completely, including the 3g animation and everything? That would be great.

HardSPL is a requirement whenever you attempt to flash anything onto the phone. Both of the nbh files above will replace the ATT boot screen.

how can i flash it with RUU? i find only the .nbh-file...

Nice work thank you

Any RUU will do...you can find one on any of the ROM threads. It won't let me upload it here since it's an exe file. Beware that some anti-virus programs tend to see them as trojans -- they are not.

When used as a welcomehead, the image is not full screen. Does it have to be resized? BTW, I used the png version on the first page.

Nope, they're all 480x640 (VGA). Did you try to use the 4th image (transHTC.png)? If so, it's not meant to be used as a splash image ... That's just a copy of the HTC logo I drew in case others wanted to use it. Use the 3rd image (HTC_logo_w.png) instead.

No, I tried using the one with the diamond background (labeled welcomehead.192.2.png). It doesn't come up full screen. All I did was rename it, then replaced the one in the Windows directory.

How do I change the very first splash screen?

Hello,
I've got from a friend who works in HTC a sample of the Touch diamond 2.
The phone is fully working but I would like to change one thing:
WHEN I SWITCH ON THE CELL, THE VERY FIRST SPLASH SCREEN THAT APPEARS SAYS: "SMART MOBILITY - TEST ONLY NOT FOR SALE".
Does anyone know a way to delete the sentence "TEST ONLY NOT FOR SALE"?
Thanks

..use an other rom! changing the splash screen menas a bit cooking!

Flash a official rom, that should fix it for you. Most cooked roms here dont include that first loadscreen.

I tried!
Guys, I have just installed a new ROM (EnergyROM_TOPAZ_20090921_StandardM2.5) but nothing changed..the "test only not for sale" sentence is still there!
Any other idea to replace the phrase?
Thanks

Maybe you could just look away when that phrase is displayed

Hi,
look at this Post. I.ve attached there a file to change the first screen
If you want to make your own look here's HOWTO (sorry, but only in german)
cheers

[HOWTO] change first SplashScreen
I,ve decided to write a Tutorial for this in (my poor) english. Even i don't know if someone needs this
Maybe some MOD can edit the title of the thread.
How To for the exchange of the initial SPLASH SCREEN
Important: I take no responsibility for any damage!
The image that appears when you turn on the device and then displays the versions of radio, ROM and protocol
HSPL is needed!
Here we go:
We need a 24BIT *.bmp in a Dimension 480x800
Extract the content from the attached file to c:\
Put your Picture in the new created Folder
With CMD (start menu, run, cmd) change in this Directory by typing: cd c:\Splash HD
Now type: nbimg -F *.bmp -p 18400 (* = name of your Picture) to start the Conversation
There’s now a new File in the Folder e.g. *.bmp.nb. Because we need a File with 786.432 byte it’s necessary to check the Dimension. If it doesn’t fit delete the File and go to next step.
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
To got the right Dimension you must use the Difference between with the following command: nbimg -F *.bmp -p 18400 (18400 is for Example, please use your calculated Value). Repeat Step 6. and 7. until you’ve got the right Dimension
When this is done type: htcrt.exe and then close CMD
[FONT=&quot]Click on Build![/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]
Ignore warning by choosing Splash and finally click Build!once again
Now we have a flashable File.
rename *.nbh to TOPAIMG.nbh.
Copy TOPAIMG.NBH into the root dir of your Storage Card.
Be sure to have at least 30% of charge.
Turn off your device by using the Power Button.
Go to Boot loader mode. Push and hold Vol. Down + press Power button.
After that your device with have a white screen with text " Press to power button for continue upgrade or Press Volume down button for cancel upgrade , select press to power button and it will start upgrade Rom.
Reset

ok on further close scrutiny, the picture is rotated right 16 pixels and the bottom 100 pixels are not displayed (I made a grid to work that out, how sad am I)
The picture I'm using is this http://www.mobinations.com/en/cell-phone-wallpaper-preview.php?w=ford-mustang-[6].jpg
obviously I convert it to a 24bit bmp first!
Have saved bmp from jpeg in both mspaint and photoshop and have same result, are they to fault? what do you use to make the bmp?

Ok, i will look at the picture. In the meantime you could try the file below attached.

splash screen problem.
Hi, I tried all the files and methods above and the splash screen changes.
However the bootup sequence of my splash screen is now different, but it still didn't get rid of the carrier splash screen (China mobile) in my case. I'm a little stumped, so if anyone can give me a hand on this, it would be great.
After flashing it now boots as follows:
1) it boots up as the New picture after it has been flashed.
2) China Mobile carrier splash screen.
3) HTC splash screen.
and then it boots into the phone.
Is there a way to get rid of the splash screen for china mobile in the 2nd step?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Put the attached files in your windows folder with totalcommander or resco explorer and overwrite existing files.

HTC Original
Hi lcd4linux. Do you have the original HTC boot up .gif? You know the one where just the brand "HTC" with white letters comes up on a plain black background.
The Vodafone boot up is just too... red for my taste

still can't get rid of carrier splash screen
Hi all,
I still can't get rid of the carrier splash screen (China mobile). I want to either remove it or change it to something else...
I have tried everything on this forum.
I've used the above splash.zip, and also the topaimg file, and the very first splash screen changed to the pictures provided.
Also, I have used lcd4linux and bl4ckb1rd method for changing the default windows splash screen.
HOWEVER, what I want to do is change the boot screen that has the carrier splash screen... that doesn't change, even when I flash a new rom such as dutty's leo r4 rom, or the energy photon rom.
Again, the bootup sequence is:
1) 1st splash screen - Which has been changed using lcd4linux and the files provided by angdolphin by using a topaimg and flashing it.
2) Carrier splash screen (china mobile) - WHICH STILL DOESN'T CHANGE.
3) Windows 6.5 splash screen which has been changed to the splash screen provided by lcd4linux and bl4ckb1rd by copying 2 files into the windows folder.
I read somewhere one other way to change the carrier splash screen is to flash a stock rom. Any suggestions?
Stuck.
Thanks heaps everyone.

=== Convert NB <--> BMP splash screens
=== (c)2008 Pau Oliva - pof @ xda-developers
Usage: nbimg -F file.[nb|bmp]

thanks andy...i think thats the tool am using...
you need a good tool to crop any image in a desired px i.e 480/800
once u crop it, you can apply the image with the converter to get the nbh.
i use multiple cropping tools for compression.

those are called boot animations not boot splash screens...

Can I flash the boot screen by entering the bootloader with the nbh on my sd card? Or will it delete my system?

na it will not erase your system...get into tricolor and flash the splash

I tried flashing the image and all whent well but when it boots the image is blown up.
any sugestions
