Here's my minor contribution to this community. I got sick of all of the noisy, filter-laden splash screens I saw around here (no offense to the other splash screen makers ) so I made a few of my own.
I've replaced the operator boot screen with an HTC logo on a white background and the Windows Mobile splash screen with white on black text (added a subtle gradient and cutout to add depth).
There is information on how to load these all over these forums and I'll add more detailed instructions later but, for now, here are the files for those who know what they're doing.
Also, be sure to note that the operator boot nbh (located in the zip file) is for RAPHAEL ONLY!!
EDIT: I've only been able to test this on my Fuze but there is no reason why the welcome splash screen wouldn't work on any other VGA device and the boot splash screen on any other Raphael variant.
i love the simplicity of the white one.
evidently im retarded because i cannot seem to flash a new splash screen. i unzipped your file to the root directory of the SD card, renamed it to RAPHIMG.nbh, entered the boot loader, still stuck with NATF's splash
Yep, same here...there must be something I am missing. I have flashed about 7 roms now, and I am still stuck with rcelite's raphimg. Pretty annoying, considering I have flashed 3 or 4 times since that rom. It doesn't seem to want to go away. When I get to the bootloader screen, it very very quickly flashes a message..."No image found". I have tried several as well, all the same. I have used a new sd card, empty, newly formatted etc etc. Anyone have this or have any ideas? I am using a TPro unlocked gsm with Sheps Dusk rom. The most stable and glitch-free rom I have tried so far.
Really hate that rcelite image now

I am just wondering if there is any cab file anywhere that replaces the T-Mobile boot screen where it tells you your IPL and SPL. I would like it to say HTC Wizard in all caps and be some kind of black screen similar to the T-Mobile pattern.
I have seen different boot screens before such as the wizard love rom with the final fantasy X boot screen.
If it is possible to change this without re-cooking the rom then please let me know.
Thanks, Dan.

the *.cab files replace the OS splash screen. The *.ZIP files contain *.nbf file that replaces (using the exe) the first screen.
Is there any way to install it without using the exe file because the ruu_splash.exe application won't work to install the SP splash screen because i found one i really like.
if you read that link, you have all the info you need to know on to create your own splash screens and how to get them to work. its in the first couple of pages or so
hey, I have searched and searched, and tried various methods of changing the image before the IPL and SPL are shown, and also the image whilst the IPL and SPL are shown, however nothing has been successful. I want to change them because I have flashed a new ROM onto my Wizard but the old images remain.
Which is the most efficient and easy way to do this?
Thanks
Surely somebody must know how to do this. I have tried about 4 ways now, and nothing damn works!!!!
Please, somebody must have changed the splash/boot screen with Wm6.1
Maybe....
Maybe you dont get the exactly size of the pictures please visit my sky drive and download the files zip that said 3 splash screens read carefully the instruction on .txt i already change my 3 splash screens but when I exceed the size the screen doesnt change... There i have too the original splash screens and some from my creation....

3 Splash screens bricked wizard
Hi
I downloaded your 3 splashscreens zip file and use the tools carefully step by step to create the nk.nbf file to flash to my wizard. When I run the RUU all seemed fine, up until 66% at which point the process freezes on the device, after a while the pc screen moves to 83% then reports a communication error and starts taking me through a "Recovery" process (taking battery out etc.) when that's done, all I get is the bootloader and have to re-flash my rom to get the phone working again.
Any ideas why this may be? I'm using XP to do it, have tried a replacement new usb cable, but that made no difference.
Edit: I tried again with your images and it worked! Now have HTC default splash at startup but grey-black fade is very banded and looks dreadful. Will have to try a different ones.

Hi,
I have a retail Opal (not network locked). But during start-up, i get an Idea Cellular (an Indian cellular operator) splash screen right after the Smart Mobility splash screen. Is there a way to get rid of this screen? Probably replace it with something else.
I did search the entire forum and came across a few posts about splash screens. Most seem to suggest that the phone has to be flashed with another ROM. I'm quite new to the WM world. I was wondering if it is possible to change this splash screen?
try Splash Changer by xiaojin1985.

Well u can always install a new ROM. This removed the splash from my phone.
and if u re install the stock then youll get the HTC splash.
btw is it possible to change the FIRST splash logo? i mean the one where your spl version and so on is listed.
Install Advanced config 3.2
You can so easily do this by installing Advanced configuration v3.2 alongwith .NET compact framework 3.5.... All the best....

The startup is using /windows/Idealogoopalgif.gif file. Copy the file you want to use for the startup to windows directory & do following in the registry
Go to HKLM/Software/HTC/HTCAnimation & change the StartupGif file to the one you want.
PS: only gif files allowed
does anyone have a copy of the initial splash screen by HTC (The first one when u switch your device on) if you do could you upload it for me please
It's on the forum, please search.
Search ins't pulling up anything for the original... even though I know it's here somewhere... just need to remember what thread it was in. If I find it I'll post the link as I need a copy too
Original Bootscreen
Well i just pulled the files for you...
In the .zip u will find the relevant files (originals), you can push them to the media\bootscreen
Hope you find it useful
Good Morning.
that's not the splash screen, it's just the boot screen.. There's a big difference .
Splash Screen = first Bootscreen
Boot Screen = second Bootscreen
the splash screen has the format *.rgb555 or something like that...

back 2 topic, does anyone have got the original htc hero splashscreen? . thanks.
Default splash attached in png & zipped rgb565 formats. Do note however the latter won't be bitwise identical to the default splash, as I couldn't rip it directly (that needs a custom kernel mod). Appearance wise it is very close; iirc, it's an edit of one of the frames from the default boot animation.
Looks legit, cauli.
I have to say, the Hero splash logo has to the best stock one of them all. I am still satisfied with it to this day. No carrier or manufacturer (or ROM chef!) branding. Just a cool name, in a cool font.
Boom.
Howdy guys,
Im interested in also getting these screens but kinda lost howto. I searched for the media/bootscreen but it seems not to exist on my device. Tried it with adb.
What's the exact way to complete this?
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers,
Ivar

You're possibly mixing up how to modify the initial static boot image & the following boot animation.
For the latter you need to replace some files in the rom, location & structure depending on the android version. Try this google.
For the former, you need to have an unlocked spl on your device. This will enable you to flash the splash screen. To create your own image you'll need it in rgb565 format. There are a few tools to do this; I use rgb565converter.
Is this the one with the little green robot coming from the Hero logo or just the static Hero writing?
EDIT: If anyone's wondering here is the one with the robot forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=699259
