Splash Screen Red Text - Sprint HTC One (M7)

So now that there is something new at the bottom of the screen with the new firmware update, I'm wondering if it's fairly simple to remove the red text? It never really bothered me until now. It just looks really bad now. I know about Regawmod, but will it work with this new hboot?

4 color screen

So this isn't really a problem, but if I can change it I'd love to. When starting up, I go through the 4 color boot screen and it shows my radio version, rom version, etc. It was this way when I upgraded to WM6, and is still this way since I've upgraded to WM6.1 It also still goes through the splash screen after the 4 color screen. I'd love to get rid of the 4 color screen if possible. Is this changeable like the splash screen? Again, like I said, this isn't really a problem, it's just kind of annoying since with the original stock rom, it had another nice HTC screen. I currently have a Mogul too, and after the most recent rom update, it doesn't do the 4 color screen.
BTW, anyone want to buy a BA?

You know, searching for "color screen" in the blue angel forums came up with "NEED HELP!! How To Change 4 color Boot Screens". As an aside, try searching next time before starting a new thread.
As for your question, no, it can not be changed. Check that referenced thread for more information as to why.

Please help me find a particular wm6.1 splash screen on this site

Hi all. I was searching through threads last night and came across this nice Windows Mobile 6.1 splash screen and should've saved the attachment in the thread but didn't. Anyhow I closed my browser before saving it and now I can't seem to find it. I've been looking for hours. I can describe how it looks. It basically looks like the regular green wm6.1 welcomehead.96.png that comes with most 6.1 roms. Only thing different is the background color is grey, the circles are situated on the bottom right corner, and the windows flag is colored 3/4 grey and 1/4 green. I believe name of the file is "1.png" or something like that. It is 240x320 in size. If anyone can find this splash screen for me I would really really appreciate it. I want to put this on my phone. I hope someone out there can find it somehow.

[Q] White or Black background?

I was just wondering if a white background would consume more power than a black background for the theme settings.. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Depends on what phone you are using. The samsung and dell with their samoled screen consume more power with a white background. The htc phones are using s-lcd which means it doesn't matter if it is white or black. I prefer the white background on my HD7 it looks nicer.
Oh cool.. Im using a HD7.. Was using black in thinking that it will prolong battery life.. Now that you mention that, i'm switching to white =) Thanks =)
Black looks best.
I like black but it annoys me that the fonts on black look horrible. For instance, in settings, the small fonts distort when scrolling up and down. This doesn't occur on white. Nor does it occur on the Omnia 7 even when on black. So perhaps this is a HD7 issue, or perhaps it is just my HD7. Am interested to know if others have noticed it.
I hadn't noticed that. Now I'm bugged by it. Thanks.

Could you elaborate on this distorting text? I haven't noticed anything on my HD7 with black background. Text looks wonderful on this screen and Windows Phone 7.

just open the Settings page and scroll up and down slowly. Notice how the small subtext is a lot tougher to read while scrolling. That's what he is referring to I believe.
The text issue is called "ghosting" and is due to the low quality LCD panel on the HD7, which has a very low pixel response time.
It bugged me a lot on a black background. It's not noticeable on white.
Yep, as the other guys say. A better description than my original one is that the text has a "shimmer" when scrolling. It sort of fades out.
Rather than it being a panel issue, I think is might be a cleartype or font smoothing type of issue. Later on I'll do up a bitmap image with some text on it, and see if the problem occurs. If yes then it's a crap panel and if no then maybe fonts/cleartype/software and hope.
Another problem with the black background is you do see the backlight ever so slightly. Yes, I knew this, when I (now somewhat regretfully) chose it over the Omnia 7. Be good if Microsoft gave us more colour options, I'd probably use a very dark grey if available. My £99 ZTE Blade has far nicer blacks than my HD7 Sorry to rant. No need to flame. I think the HD7 will be the great WP7 hacker/modder device and this alone is enough for me.
I created a bitmap and emailed it to myself. The shimmering effect did occur when moving around. So it does seem like a screen or a screen driver problem, and nothing to do with fonts and the like.

I thought it was because grey on black has less contrast than grey on white. Could you do the same but instead of grey use white.
I have just again compared the scrolling of the settings page on my HD7 with my Trophy and there is a huge difference!!
On the Trophy's SLCD screen there is no ghosting and everything just flows and stays readable all the time.
Everything is just so much more vivid and vibrant on the Trophy !
It is indeed a shame that HTC have not used a SLCD screen for their flagship model
I've stayed with white I tried black for a bit but it did not look as contrasty as hoped.
Sorry tbk21, I can't try it as I sold the phone. Got loads of interest on Gumtree. HD7 is not the one for me. The speakers, the screen and the slow loading of sdcards. Sticking with my clunky Android for now. Maybe I'll be back for the second wave of WP7 phones.

[Q] [Sense 5.5] Intermittently grey task/notification/status bar?

Hey all,
So, I'm running Bad Boyz ROM v1.3, Android 4.3. The task/notification/status bar (I never remember the correct nomenclature) is generally transparent or black on home screens, and generally black when in other apps. However, during certain instances, like when going into settings, the bar changes to this grey gradation/textured look. This same look also pops up briefly whenever the home key is pressed, even when the phone is already on a home screen. I know that its really minor and inconsequential, but man does it ever bug the CRAP out of me. Anybody know what I can do to fix this, or can point me to a how to or available MOD? I'd appreciate it.

How to get rid of green back ground in blinkfeed?

Is there a way to get rid all the green background behind text in Blinkfeed.
The M7 version it was always Text on top of an image.
This version has some articles like that, but many are either half green or all green.
Is it just the topics I picked?
Goto personalize and change the theme
Sent from my 831C using XDA Free mobile app
Dazednconfused made some flashable zips of themed blinkfeed.
It's not the "color" that's the issue (although that was part of it).
It's that there is so much of it. I liked how M7 blinkfeed looked.
Turns out, it's just the way the new version works. There seems no rhyme or reason of when it decides to use Text on top of Solid Background vs Text on top of the image.
All I can think of is the M7 version used to Crop the image to get it to fit the aspect ratio of the box it's in. Now it keeps the image and fills it with a solid color.
I thought it had something to do with images being too busy to put the text on top of. But there seems no pattern with that.
But I finally did change the Theme to Grey/Black and the solid blocks are not as ugly.
I still prefer how M7 blinkfeed looked. Which had no solid background in the boxes. Text was always on top of images (granted not always readable but was 95% of the time).
But the M8 version when it decides to put text on top of images is no better than M7. So it makes little sense and seems random.
Ah, understood.
