Bootscreen and splashses

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.

Using reshack you can change any text, any graphics in any exe and dll.

To be honest I have no idea, I stumbled upon that flag once in reshack but didn't feel the urge to edit it and didn't take note of which file it was in. Seek and you will find. Nice job on a boring rainy day

well than..i will have to start looking than

extract the file shell32.exe from rom (or copy it from the windows folder of your device), there is the flag icon included, replace it with our own icon (resolution 21 x 18 pixels) and save the file with a new filename. copy it to your device in windows folder and change the registry settings "HKLM\init\Launch50" to the new filename. restart your device.
i hope that helps

thanx will try

New VGA Boot and Splash Screens (now with manila background!)..

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.

Easy bootsplash hack?

well ive been trying to customize every little thing on my g1 to get the procedures down before i go and start programming for android, and ive been trying to find out how to change the bootsplash and all my searches have come up with is mixed results and so far i think ive pieced together the procedure for the abd method; but someone mentioned that you could change the bootsplash using a recovery mode update.zip, what would i need to do it and how? Because i really hate abd and fastboot (i blame ubuntu) because it a big pain in the ass.

You can change the animated (shiny android) screen with an update.zip. You cannot change the splash1 screen with an update. That one has to be done with fastboot.

How to which? Splash1 can be changed by using the bootscreen changer program listed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=543095&highlight=bootscreen+3000
The animated screen can be changed by opening either your theme or your ROM and locating the framework.res.apk file. Open that and go to assets and then images and change the android-logo-mask and the android-logo-shine to what you want. resign it and flash. or push it with adb.
A search will bring all of this information up as these posts have been active in the past day or so.

question 1 will i need to have abd for it to work? (the exe and bat thing)
question 2 is just extract the apk change android-logo-mask and android-logo-shine (with a different picture but the same name)? and is logo mask boot 1 and logo shine boot 2? and this is done with out abd?

1. You will need adb for the splash1 change as it is done with fastboot.
2. Yes, change the logo mask and shine files keeping them named as they are now. They are for the animated screen. The mask basically sits on top of the shine file. The shine file kinda spins around behind it.

so could i just delete shine? because i just plan to have just a png picture thats it or do i have to put 2 of the same images there?
(sorry for all the questions i just it to work)

Not sure about deleting it. However if you have no transparent places on your logo mask, nothing will shine anyhow.

Thanks for clearing that up for me

Thank you very much, however, do you think you can edit the picture a little bit? It seems just a touch grainy, is that because of a size restriction? Either way, thank you very much. Could you make a version without "Rooted" at the bottom?

how do you install this?

I would like help installing this as well. I have no folder on my sdcard for root. In my sdcard folder I do have a zip file called PG05img.zip. That is the same name as this file I just downloaded. If I put the downloaded file into the same folder as the other one wont it completely erase the other file?

Guys, the root just means not in any folder. Their are instructions in the OP and in another post on page 1.
Btw, chas, you want to remove the original PG05IMG.zip from your SD card. Every time you boot into hboot that will try and update on your phone. Best to remove it asap to avoid problems

named PG05IMG so bootloader sees it. U just put on root of sdcard not in any folder, ifu have another file with same name it won't work.
