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,

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.
Hi there
re: HTC Himalaya. how do I change the first bootscreen? Pls can you give links to tools and provide instructions.
Cheers
I think what you are referring to is the welcome screen? Perhaps do a search for welcome.96 and see what comes up.
I had it in mind you just made an image the size of the welcome screen image and named it welcome.96.png and then just dragged it into the Windows folder (it will overwrite the original).
Having said that, Google it and find out how to do it exactly, don't take my word for it. But you should have enough information frfom what I have said to find out more.
I see its your First post..Welcome to xda-developers..sspecially for choosing Himalaya
To Change the Splash Screen..follow these steps :
Open any Image Editor
or Choose any Image that is 240*320 In Size
Its format Must be .PNG
and rename it to " welcomehead.96.png " (note : png is the extension )
connects your device via Active Sync or copy the splash screen to your Devices and replace place it in the \Windows Folder..it will ask to over right..Select Yes and You are done
Soft-Reset and Enjoy
PS. Search the Forum for ALOT of welcomeheads
the screen I want to change is the very first one that is shown when the machine is turned on, i.e. it appears as the device is booting up. Hope this makes sense.
Oh I suspect then you are not talking about Welcomehead/Splashscreen. Does the screen you are talking about feature the logo or name of a phone company/service provider? IE Telstra, Optus, Sprint, AT&T, Verizon, etc
yes, that's the one. On booting up it is replaced by the welcome screen, and then the wallpaper. I'm using Ather's 'Dark Edition'
i would like to change this very first image too. I hope someone know how to do it.
Hrmm, not sure how possible it is. I have both the o2 logo on one phone and Telstra on the other which I wanted to remove. I dare say it is part of the radio rom, not the OS rom. Basically, you can flash the Radio to a different version, just as you can flash the Operating System, though some say it is a bit more difficult.
No matter what rom I flash, those logos are always there, so I suspect they are part of the radio rom. I will investigate.
EDIT: Okay this guy has created a program to do it for the Prophet only, but he may be the person to ask as I would suspect he had the general knowledge of how to do it by hand before he created the program.

Thoses two can be changed by editing the ExtRom file (ms_.nbf) from a 2003 Rom..Search the forum for WM2003 Edit in the Himalaya Wiki...i have also uploaded a Clean extrom..just replace the images init and then place it in the folder where your HimaUpgradeUT_noid.exe is and flash as normal
here is the ExtROM file : http://rapidshare.com/files/82299532/ms_.nbf
I think this way was working in WM5
Install extromunlocker
Soft reset
Start
Program
ExtROMTools
Unhid
Unlock
Folder will appear in the root
Inside this folder is the image need to be change
But I traied this extromunlocker cab file in WM6.1, I could not find the Extrom.
Thanks for the method - however, I'm new to this and would appreciate a bit more hand-holding if you don't mind. Can you give a more detailed stepwise method?
TIA
It wont work if u ahve Partitioned your DOC..because that was the Storage where these files were kept
Well ok..just tell me what u cant understand
See here ..
Hi,
as Ather described, I did it successfully last year this way
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=220799&page=12)
as described, I restored my ExtRom with DOC_Restore, took the T-Mobile 1.72 Update (http://xdazone.india372.server4you.d...d.php?id=3373), extracted the ms_.nbf (ExtROM) , changed the splashes with "Windows Mobile 2003 ROM Editor" and updated the ExtROM. Works well.
I'm not sure if the t-mobile extrom could be used for other version of Himalaya than the MDA II.

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.

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.

first if your manila is cooked in your original files will be there on the device if you delete the modified file, but if you want copy all files in windows with manila ext. to a folder on pc to back up. Next, just go to the original file you modded using manila editor and choose to replace it, choose directory your modded image is in and replace. beware though some images in sprint and att tf3d are a little tricky.
do you knwo which manila file is the the email background?

I have found through trial and error that it seems to work if you select one of the Phones which only supports portrait mode. On the ones which can rotate, although it lets you upload the image and set up correctly, it crashes when processing. That can be overcome by using the portrait only and then editing the .tsk when downloaded and saved - simply delete the exisiting image file and replace with the correct pair of .jpgs for Portrait and Lansdcape [ stwater_480_800.jpg and stwater_800_480.jpg].
Editing the .tsk is done by making a copy - rename the extension to .cab and then use WinCE CAB Manager to edit. Once done, save and rename back to .tsk
