I've been searching these forums to avoid asking something that has been asked.
But I can't find out how to change the first splash screen for my phone, the one that say, AT&T world Phone.
I've already changed the animation, and WM splash screen, I really wanna change the AT&T one to anime lol
Help?, you may proceed to call me a dumbass if you wish.
I think you can change that animation with Advance Configuration Tool (xda-developers forum thread/cab download site).
I am using the TESS Pride III rom and it is already installed in there.
Maybe I am wrong. I don't know. I'm pretty new to Windows Mobile too.
I've tried that, I've changed all the screens, except for that very first one
Same here. I'd really like to get rid of the AT&T initial splash screen. The one that comes up before the 'X' animation on the Energy ROMs.
Any ideas?
Thx

Most ROM upgrades only include the OS. So, yes, search for Splash Screen. Better yet, read the wiki. It is right there. Oh well, I will make you lazy this one time: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334907

im sure it seems that i aint doing a search.. i really did..
the prob is this ::
i would think the att screen is a boot screen, and the windows mobile screen after that is either a welcome screen or a splash screen..Which is what the link you pointed me to seems to be... no?
i wanna change both,
i just need to know what the real terms are..
thanx for the non-scolding and help

There are three screens prior to your rom completely booted. I am also confused which screen is which but if you search splash screen there is three tools available so you can change it. Here is my splash screen (I hope this is allowed on xda, if not mods can delete it):
edit: nvm i deleted it

Ok, I know that I found it SOMEWHERE on here once before, but I can't seem to find it now.... I am trying to find the thread that talks about how to change the startup animation. I absolutely HATE the AT&T 3G crap, and I want to change it. Can anyone point me to that thread, please? Thank you!

well, I'm not aware of how you can change it without cooking a different one it, but you can disable it with KaiserTweak or Schap's AdvancedConfig
Maybe this one?

That would be the one! Thank you!!!

If you want to also change the ATT logo, the one before the animation starts (that shows radio version and stuff), download the thing in my attachment, and it changes it to HTC's official boot screen.
It's black background with words "Smart Mobility" in the center, much cooler than stupid att logo...

Awsome! Thanks a bunch!
I usually just use nude pornstars for my splash screen
Lol
That's too funny!
I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find the "HTC Smart Mobility" animated boot screen. I have searched like 50 or 60 forums to no avail... I am really wanting it back on my phone because the 3G Up sucks...
First of all I am a newbie to flashing roms/unlocking/etc. I have an HTC TyTN II phone and have been reading for hours on how to change the bootscreen. (1st screen that pops up after powering the phone on) I kind of get an idea of how to do so but I guess I'm having compatibility issues or something with my computer running Vista 64 bit. Anyhow, I was able to flash my phone to one of the L26 diamond series roms and reflashed it with a different rom. My problem is that the bootscreen still shows the guy with a blue eye and says "L26 Diamond Series" on the bottom lower left corner. I want to change this back to the original "smart mobility" screen that the phone first came with or perhaps change it to some other HTC smart mobility screen. (I really love how the OEM original screens look) I hate the bootscreen on my phone right now. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Even better if you are located in the Southern California area and can help me in person. I'm willing to drive to you and perhaps even pay you. Please show me how it is done. I am a fast learner. Just a little overwhelmed right now that's all.
Appreciate your time.
Thanks in advance!
lol you can flash your rom but can't do the exact same thing for the splash screen.
funny
try doing a search "change bootscreen". You'd be surprised on what you find....
first of all to help you out that "boot screen" is called a splash screen if you say boot people will get confused thinking you mean the boot loader
second of all there are two ways to do it...
you can flash a new splash screen using a custom bootloader
or if it isn't cooked into your rom.....
you can change it through registry setting (just use schapps advanced configurator)
there are actually two different types of splash screens also... the one that is first that replaces your carier.
after that sometimes there is an animation ( you can use advanced configurator to enable disable and choose the animation)
and then the win mo splash screen.....
all of them are replaceable just search around for specifics on how to change them is not to hard
Figured it out!
I went ahead and used my friend's computer which is running Win XP and figured it out. It's a piece of cake now. Thanks for your help guys.

Thank you for replying with no scolding or sarcasm! I really appreciate it!
I have used Adv-Config3 to change the splash screen so not to have AT&T logo staring at me, but 'No Joy'. I assume it has to be a .gif? Or will other file types work?
thank you in advance.

It's actually really annoying that both screens while boothing are referred to as the splash screen. The splash screen that is referred to in Advanced config would more appropriately be called the welcome screen. To get rid of the very first screen which is also referred to as the splash screen you must flash a different one. If you search "custom splash screens" it will take you to a thread with a lot of different ones you can download. It's also pretty easy to create your own custom ones should you desire to do that as well.
I think the issue you're running into is that the one you're changing in advanced configu is supposed to be a .png file. Animated GIF's can be used, but think they're supposed to be named something different. I'll have to check and update my post.

The initial (Boot) screen when you first power on your phone has to be flashed like a ROM. Then, if you have a GIF file named animated.gif* in the \Windows directory, that image will display before moving on to the Welcome screen. The Welcome Screen is a PNG image named welcomehead69.png (or welcomehead.69.png) also found in the \Windows directory.
* AT&T-based ROMs change the registry key defining the name of the animated GIF, so you will need to edit that key after placing the GIF file in \Windows.
Hope this clears everything up.
To replace the L26 Page you need to follow these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334907

That's right, i was thinking it was called animated.gif, but that seemed to obvious i guess, thanks for the info man. I actually have the animated boot screen disabled in my defautl settings xml that runs during my UC so i never really looked into changing it. I should definitely make a custom welcomehead file though and put it in my UC to copy over for my truely presonalize feel lol. I always end up switching my own favorite radios with teh ones cooked in on almost every rom i've downloaded. I really like the 1.59.42.15 radio, but no chef's bundle it...fortunately some wonderful minds around here made it easy for people to put whatever radio they want in a rom

If it didn't change you'll have to flash it using a custom RUU because it is cooked in, you can learn how to do that here
Hi!
Just trying to figure out how to replace that ATT first boot image with one of my own like I did on my Tilt 2.
Thanks!
Not without cooking your own ROM.
Ah interesting...with the Tilt2 we were able to run a flash, like if we were changing ROMS but only to change that first screen so I was hoping for something similar with Odin.
I created a new thread in General about this. I've found the file, just can't overwrite it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Ah nice...so at least we are getting closer
Wait, you are talking about the ATT World Phone screen or the 3G animation? The Animation can be changed or deleted, the white ATT World Phone screen cannot without cooking your own ROM.
I had a Tilt2 also and it was easy to change Boot screens as you have mentioned.
Yes the ATT World Phone screen one....oh well.
