How to change BootSplash / MainSplash ? - Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development

I don't like to see "smart mobility" anymore on my starting boot-screen !
Does somebody knows, how to change it ?
Perhaps it's possible to change over extraction by a kitchen to edit it.
But I don't know how to and which file has to be changed ?
Thanks in advance for an advice.

Well here is an option.
Navigate to the balckstone root page the one were all four sections are.
The under sub forum balckstone use the "search the forum"
The type in splashscreen
Please read the stickys and the anouncements before you post your first post. That way you might get more replies that views.

Sorry, I wasn't asking, how to search something.
In the existing threads there is nothing that solves this problem.
I think you don't understand my question. I don't want to change the "splashscreen" of TouchHD-Animation or WindowsMobile-Welcomehead.
I mean the first starting Boot-Splash, that is black and where is written "smart mobility".

There is already an identical 3d here

Unfortunalety no solution yet.
I'm trying the Kaiser method, but the HTCRT does not support yet the Blackstone

My HTCRT which I use but u need to modify urs is

Magic=kateiloveyou

[Defaults]
DefCountryId=11111111
DefVersionId=1.00.000.0
DefLanguageId=WWE

A very big thans Dutty!!!!!!
Updated the HTCRT, now I'm facing another problem...
Also the "nb_image converter" from madkat and (not sure 100%) the "SplashTool" from pof needs to be updated for the new image size (originally made for the classic QVGA 240x320)...
Waiting for some HD's cook suggestion !!!

Done!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know why, but the original Splash have a size of 786432, instead of the 655360, so I changed this value and flashed the nbh.... WORKS GREAT!!!!!!!!!
Follow the guidelines of mr.POF here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405118 and then use the HTCRT to compile the *.nb file

Somebody explane more and make simple tutorial please

The guide is here: http://rapidshare.com/files/179849983/Splash_HD.rar
In the package there is also a (poor) WWE pfd with the instructions
This is an example

Thanks for the link.
Finally, I can solve the problem with the black border at the bottom.
The picture is now on the whole screen displayed.

Happy to ear some positive comments ! ! ! ! !

Would you please mind opening a wiki page with your findings and thus help others ??

Added link to the HD-Blackstone Wiki pages
Thanks

Now I realized a very good solution !
1. Extracting original 02_MainSplash.nbh to 02_MainSplash.nb with (NBHUtil) NBH-Utility V0.9 of Olipro 2008
2. Converting 02_MainSplash.nb to 02_MainSplash.nb.bmp with nbimg-1.1win32
3. Changing 02_MainSplash.nb.bmp by painting with my creations of Intro
4. Converting 02_MainSplash.nb.bmp to Splash.nb with nbimg-1.1win32
5. Editing XML of NBHUtil with:
<device name="Touch HD" chunksize="64">
<ModelID>BLACK*****</ModelID>
<CID>11111111</CID>
<Ver>1.00.BlackStone</Ver>
<Lang>GER</Lang>
<Item value="0x200">SPL</Item>
<Item value="0x301">Radio</Item>
<Item value="0x400">OS</Item>
<Item value="0x600">Splash</Item>
</device>
6. Building Splash.nbh with NBHUtil
7. Flashing Splash.nbh with customruu.exe
Big Thanks to all, who gave the resources to solve this problem

Boady,
I used your procedure but unfortunately I amm still facing the black bottom issue. Any idea to solve it?

One question.
Will the splash screen be updated to default one when upgrading ROM?
Do I need to redo this after ROM upgrade?
TIA

Apologies mestrini for cluttering up the board but I have searched long and hard for an official Qtek ROM ...googled, searched rapidshare but alas it appears from your comment that I'm missing it.

Feel free to change the title Mestrini ...if it helps others find what they're looking for then I say all the better. finding what you're looking for is directly related to the keywords you search on and sometimes you just go round in circles before you find things ...or worse still you fail to find anything at all.
...again many thanks!
BTW: I tried that file last night and it won't let me use it because it says I'm already at a higher level ...i.e. 2.26 IPL & SPL. I need to downgrade so that's my next search criteria.

EBO (Easy Bake Oven) On Hold - Update 11/26/07

11/26/07 update:
I've placed the project on hold for a while. I've been too busy to work on it and so instead, I'm working on an optimized ROM for my Wing. I might end up just using that ROM as the base ROM. It's based on the Touch-IT.
Update: Still working on release v0.4. So far, so good. No bugs found, yet.
Success! Tested AND Working flashed on my Wing!!!
Here it is! Version 0.3
All the passwords are: "ding"
Step one:
Download the Kitchen files:
Save them somewhere, say a folder called "Ivan's Kitchen."
Step two:
Download the OEM and SYS folders:
Dump them into the Working_Folder within the EasyBakeOven folder that you extracted on the first step.
Step three:
Download the ROM folder and follow the same instructions as step two.
Step four:
Download the Packages into the OEM folder.
Step five:
Run the RunMe file. Choose if you want the BioTouch. Choose if you want Office. Check what programs you want. Click on the little green "play" button. When it says "Done." at the bottom, close that window and follow the prompts.
This is a BuildOS kitchen. Download the packages and just double click on the batch file I made you.
Make sure you have enough harddrive space... I tried it on my laptop and I kept getting REALLY small os.nb files. lol
Now I just need someone to make me some good atwork... or I can make one myself.
BUGS Fixed:
V0.3
Camera Packages - Removed the camera packages and restored the original camera.
CommManager Packages - Updated their registry to reflect the Herald's wifi.
Removed Touchflo ghost icon. It was a mistake from my end. It's an icon pointing to nothing.
V0.2
Too many to fix... Just ignore the fact that V0.1 ever happened...
If upgrading from the previous version:
Download these files and the file attached and overwrite the current set. Delete the two camera folders under the OEM folder.
If not, download the whole thing again.
If you downloaded the original broken Alpha release: Trash it. Download the newest one. That one had more holes that swiss cheese.
Bugs found and how to fix them.
I missed an extra file when I updated the camera fix. I'll fix it on the next release. For now just delete the file "Camera.lnk" from the OEM\OEMAPPS folder.
11/19/07 - Nevermind, I completely broke the camera again. I'll have it fixed soon. I'll have to look through the original ROM and find the missing files.
V0.4 Coming Soon!
Changes so far:
Fix extra camera.lnk
Set packages needed for a basic working ROM to be selected by default.
More packages!!
Thank you's goes to:
God for giving me the patience to work on this.
ITJE for his base ROM
LordPhong for his Touch-IT fixes
mattk_r for inspiring me with his kitchen and for most of the packages
Warning:
Any damages caused by your ROM to your phone is solely your resposibility. The chances of you really bricking your phone are slim to none. As long as it's a WING. I haven't tested this on anything else.
Also, if you have a 64bit OS: Don't even try to use the flashing tool. It will not work.
Packages and Screenshots
This kitchen's base ROM builds a 12mb pagepool.
You'll have to use the pagepool changer to get it to your liking.
I'll be listing all packages in a few hours.
Here are a few screenshots.

good ish, looking forward to it. One question, for the programs and tweaks, are you just going to include the most popular, or can requests/suggestions be made?
oh yes. very anticipated. This has the ability to JUST add biotouch, that is, without the cube? If so, mad props to you.
Also, two questions
1. Will I be able to change the base rom?
2. Can I get it to spit out the .nbh file from the RUU? Just for us CID-unlocked people?

I'm still working on the possibility of seperating.... we'll see...
As far as your questions go:
1. Yes.... BUT, you will have to STRIP the ROM down in order to avoid errors from the kitchen. (Not as hard as it sounds, mostly just searching for the duplicate files that the kitchen throws an error out for. Just time consuming.)
The base ROM is just that. Basic as can possibly be. If you want a newer version of the OS and are up to stripping down that ROM for my kitchen, I'll add it here without a problem. This is more of a collection of works from all parts of this community, so if anyone wants to add packages to the lot, porting over newer versions of wm6 or whatever it may be (like art work,) they're more than welcomed to.

Great work! Can't wait till its online.
The perfect solution for "cooking" your own Rom without the diffult (but most of all time consuming) proces of getting into Hypercore kitchen. Finally within the reach of my limited sparetime.
You could try to contact Itje about the differences between Wing and Herald?
Keep us posted on the proceedings!
Good Work!
Just one question.
Does it allow us to change the language?

I've being trying to PM every herald cook that I know of for a few weeks now, to no avail. No one has responded.
This sounds like a very, very good thing. I've been wanting something like this since I started playing with different ROMs.
very nice. morphgear?
nice work cant wait. have a question i have morphgear(nes emulator) and i actually paid for it. i was wondering since its an execution file can that be converted into a oem package for my own use with this kitchen?

hi man,I found that there are no different between all kinds of herald,only one is c858 without WIFI.
others all the same except keyboard layout.
ok and flash your nbh with jspl will be comfortable.
BUT should notice that IPL SPL not less than 4.00
or flash with ruu if you are hardspl.

ROM Cooking First Time - I HAVE SEARCHED and searched...

Hi,
Please could someone point me in the right direction on a tutorial/guide on how to use KovskyKitchen? If there isnt one at the moment then please let me know.
Furthermore could someone let me know how to rip/extract the baseROM from a UK Vodafone X1. I am completely new to this game but would like to make my X1 as lean as possible (really how I see fit), do worry I HAVE SEARCHED THE FORUMS but cant seem to find a definitive guide.

There isn't one for X1. But you could read the guide for kitchen for other device (Touch pro, kaiser ...etc) since all are basically the same.
Basically, you need to put the extracted nbh file in /baserom and run the command the to extract.
Or maybe you could try mine or itje's lite/clean rom to save yr time.
searched and searched but didn't bother reading a couple of threads down on here..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446382&page=2
to dump the rom you need itse rom tools and run pdocread.
if you type rom dump into the google search at the top it tells you how to do it.
I have dumped the vfuk rom, but the 4 raw files are even at maximum compression 250mb+ so I haven't had time to post them
When you have the 4 raw parts you stick one of the base ruu_signed.nbh roms that are already on this forum and put part2 & part3 raw files in the base rom folder of the kovsky kitchen, as said here.

Hi,
Thanks for the links fards.
Please could you describe to me what a nbh file is?
What does it do and where can I get one from?
Does this come from the ROM dump?

Just curious, but do you have any experience flashing ROMs yet? I have owned 3 XDA's and flashed many ROMs so I know a lot about the ROMs SPL's and such. Thats something you should be knowledgeable in. I am thinking about getting into cooking too now.
A nbh file is a ROM. The nbh is the product of your cooking, and the nbh is what you put into the RUU to flash to your device. You can get it from a ROM dump or you can download it from others.
It's always a good idea to just download the tools, start them up and take a look around. See what options are available and get familiar with them. From there start asking questions. It's a bit hard to answer if you're basically saying "tell me everything".

you're learning fast
all ive ever done is read the other device tutorials and had a play, although i did prefer the hypercore kitchen on the athena to the kovsky/kaiser based one.
but it does the job especially with the really neat options.xml generator
I am starting to learn to cook roms, does the HyperCore work for xperia? what kind of dump should i select? normal OS.bin (option 3)?
