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....

It has nothing to do with your age, but with your XDA-experience.

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.

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!!!
The problem is so simple... With my s200 I have never had thos problem ... That's why I don't know if the problem is my diamond (rom ?) or wm6 or resco explorer ...
After I change the default aplication for a file type those files appear with the usual "unknown file" icon instead of the application that is going to open the file.
In Deep:
I changed "avi" file type to be opened with coreplayer... now all avi files are shown with a "unknown file" icon instead of coreplayer icon ... I also cannot go back to the default icon ...
Is there anyway to customize these icons ?? any soft ?? any thing ??
See U and TY !!
Please I really need to resolve this .... all icons are so ugly when I use any explorer ....
How or Where can I change this icons please ??
TY !
Unfortunately you may need to edit the registry to get the correct icons, I've done it a few times myself.
I don't have time to explain right now but I'll see later tonight when I get back from work if I can post the solution.
OK really TY !! Will wait for your post !
See U !
Hi guys,
I am trying to change some folder icons but I cannot find the way of doing it. It appears that the resource dll that is holding this information is shellres.dll but this cannot be accessed/copied/edites since is locked by the rom.
Any ideas/solution to this?
Thanks

Thanks for the guide... but the OP is referring to the Folder Icons in Programs (and/or Settings) in the Cooked WM ROMs not Windows XP.
Thanks

hello, i'm trying to replace my welcomehead.96.png file in my windows directory to a vista style bootup screen. i have a wm 6.1 rom upgrade. it won't let me replace the file at all. the original is read only so i uncheck where it says read only and before i can replace the file with my new one it goes back to read only on its own. any ideas or anyone who can help? thanks
same here, i need help
Same problem. No one will help us?
Is there a way of changing the settings so that you can see the file extensions in explorer without selecting the file?
So, here's a short tutorial on how to create your own dll library and change folder icons.
what you need:
IcoFX get it here : http://icofx.ro/
ResHacker link here : http://delphi.icm.edu.pl/ftp/tools/ResHack.zip
and of cource ICONS get some here: http://www.iconarchive.com/
How it works...
Any customized folder has a shortcut inside pointing out the icon it should use
usually it's a icon.lnk file inside the folder.
and icons are usually stored in a DLL library...
So, what we have to do
1. Get some images and transform them into icon files ( .ico )
2. Create our DLL library
3. make the icon.lnk files that point to our specific icon
let's start.
After installing all the above programs and selecting some icons go and launch IcoFX
now go to Tools / Batch Convert
A new window appears
Add your icons / images,
select your icon sizes
select an output folder
hit ok
After it finishes hit ok.
Now go to Tools - Resource Editor
This should pop up
Now add your created icons
After that, hit save
Save your library with a .dll extension like in the above image.
Bam, you just created your own DLL library
Close the program
now to create the icon.lnk file
create a new text document
inside the shortcut looks like this:
1# is a parameter
myiconlib.dll is your icon library
-33 is the resource number where the icon is located within the resource dll
ok, how to find the right number for your icon:
Open up your DLL library with ResourceHacker
hit expand tree to see all the resources in the file
search for your icon
The icon number is very visible ( look at the image )
write the number in your text file like shown in the image. remember to put the "-"
so, another example:
1#MyLibrary.dll, -12
now, goto file , Save AS
Just to be sure select All Files in the Save as type bar
give the file the name: icon.lnk and hit save.
and you are almost done.
Connect via your phone via Activesync
Copy your Dll library right in the Windows folder
Copy your icon.lnk in the folder you want to customize.
And you are done.
Hope this comes in handy
Happy customizing
Nevermind, got it fixed Sorry for the trouble.
Great info! Thanks for sharing.
works great with changing a folder... how do you change just a shortcut?
Thank you very much
i dont nderstand this part , help please
now to create the icon.lnk file
create a new text document
inside the shortcut looks like this:
i have created the library.dll whit al the icons i want . i just dont understand this part above. i have to crate a new text document inside the shortcut? wich shortcut? i am lost in this part
I can't get it working, i did everything, i checked tree times but nothing works.
I GIVEUP
sorry by my inglish , i have being trying to make this shortcut but nothing works, i have being reading al the esteps over and over , but nothing works.i am tired to try to make i simple shortcut, tired to try to change the estar icon, tired to try to change waiting star icon , i just cant do it, nothing seems to work to me, maybe iam so stupid, KEEP THE GOOD JOB ,

Yes mate, as i told, did everything
lets see
Please attatch ur dll library qnd ur shortcut and ill take a look at it
Everything seems clear except:
"Copy your icon.lnk in the folder you want to customize."
It's confusing how to customize?
Does anyone still come here?
I followed the tutorial step by step and also I had no success! Could someone help me? Or anyone know which dll is the original folder icon? So I could change them directly in this dll.
I have attached the dll and icon.ink that i created, if someone can help me and verify that is correct.
Thanks

hello it looks ok....do you have reset your phone after copy the dll in Windows folder? This is very important because otherwise it dont will show the image....
Yes I did. Did not work. I tried to see in several dll where is the original icon of the folder to change but can not find.
ok you lost me towards the end. in your example you say your icon is -12, but you have -9 highlighted do you not?
also, how can i use this in a kitchen after i create my folders using oemizer?
Great tutorial, thank you very much!
I've created a tutorial about creating shortcuts to Feature Settings and Applications. Plus adding icons to these links. It has many xda-links to specialized shortcut applications!
For me it resulted in icons for MortScript
Your tutorial about creating icons for folders was missing!! Thanx again!
Senax
didn`t worked
thanks for your tutorial.
i tryed it but i had no success
in resco explorer it works in some cases, in others not and in the start menu i had no success.
