Hello everyone, I am just asking if it is possible to flash different splash screen on Titan? First screen you see like VZW xv6800 say VERIZON on white background before animated gif startup begin (VZW_Startup.gif) so.. can I change the VERIZON? Thanks!
Hiromitsu
Look on in your \windows dir on your PPC for any .png & gif files that look like the ones that initiate when your phone starts. For the Sprint Mogul & Alltel PC6800, one of the spash screens is called welcomehead.96.png on both.
Once you find the stock .png & gif files on \windows, rename any custom animated pic after the .gif file and do the same for a .png pic. Then copy into \windows using Total Commander, etc and overwrite. Also make sure that they are the same 320x240 size.
So lets say on your VX6800 that you have a splash screen called VZW_6800.96.png in your \windows dir thats starts up with your phone now... You would:
1. Load, edit and rename YOUR 320x240 custom pic VZW_6800.96.png using Paint on your PC.
2. Paste pic into a folder somewhere on your device that you can access.
3. Using Total Commander, Copy this pic into \windows and a screen asking you to overwrite will popup. Click yes.
4. Done.
Do the same for a .gif.
1. Load, edit and then name YOUR 320x240 custom .gif, VZW_Startup.gif on your PC.
2. Paste .gif into a folder somewhere on your device that you can access.
3. Using Total Commander, Copy this pic into \windows and a screen asking you to overwrite will popup. Click yes.
4. Done.
welcomehead.96.png does exist on the XV6800. It is not the verizon splash though. That is the WM splash screen.
Yes, VZW splash is load from ROM so need cook in kitchen for this one. I just want know how to change this only. I already change animate GIF and WM screen.

I didnt know if it existed or not; I was using it as a reference for what to look for and how to go about accomplishing it. I hear Verizon & Sprint have animated startups whereas the Alltel 6800 does not. But we do have the welcomehead.96.png. I do not believe that you must cook a new rom to make these changes...
I have explain this plainly already,,
for VZW Titan XV6800....
There 3 startup splash,,
In ROM:
1.) Solid white screen not moving VZW logo. (15 sec)
In device:
2.) Animate VZW logo -> VZW_Startup.gif (10 sec)
3.) WM Startup wallpaper -> welcomehead.96.png (Varies)
If I install other carrier ROM,, first still image (VZW) is VZW... even though change carrier ROM... so its burn in boot code.....
these images will be available when verizon releases a rom update. the current verizon rom available was dumped from a running xv6800 and does not include the images you want, which are mainsplash.nb and subsplash.nb. these are separate from os.nb, all are contained in the nbh you flash. the dumped verizon rom available only included os.nb
dcd,,
Can I replace mainsplash.nb and subsplash.nb now?
If I make my own splash nb file I can already flash it?
Thanks

I was bored so I made a new Windows splash screen for the Softbank X01HT.
I haven't yet succeeded in modifying the boot splash screen but it is pretty easy to modify the Windows splash screen that appears before your Today desktop.
As you can see, the file is designed for portrait and landscape modes.
I got tired of seeing the stupid "Windows Mobile" branding, so I made the attached image instead which shows off the hardware instead!
To install:
Copy welcomehead.96.png to your storage card.
Use Total Commander to clear the +readonly +hidden +system attributes for "\windows\welcomehead.96.png"
Use Total Commander to copy/move this file to your \windows directory.
When done copying/moving, reset the readonly, hidden and system attributes for the file.
Reboot and enjoy!
It looks great. Thanks for your work.
The primary purpose of this thread is so that you can post your WM06 (and WM05) themes and splash screens; we will link this in the wiki. Over the next several days, I will be posting some simple instructions on replacing your splash screen and boot graphics, however that information can already be found in the wiki. Feel free to attach any today themes, splash screens, instructions etc.
When you post, please attach a picture so we know what we are downloading and zip file of the graphics so they are not resized by the server.
To get started I have attached a template for making a windows splash, as well as my template I personally use on my device. The "silence of the lambs" style picture hopefully scares the person into returning my device if lost or stolen. I included the templates in the zip file; you can edit your name and contact info; portrait version only. More to follow.

How do I change my windows splash screen?
Create or download the splash screen of your choice, it can be up to 320x320 and 96 dpi. Save the file as welcomehead.96.png and save it to the /windows directory of your device. You may need Resco Explorer or a similar tool to overwrite the current file.
The image should appear when you reboot.
I will attach some splash images below over the next several days.
How do I change the boot splash? From this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1140696&postcount=6
A method for 1.01 MFG can be found on the wiki; if you do not want to SuperCID your device permanently though, you need to use SSPL-HERM.exe.
Requirements
nb_image_converter.exe, e.g. from Hermes SplashScreen_Pack.zip
nbhgen.exe, e.g. from this forum topic
any official ROM image
Full steps
Create a BMP file in paint, size must be 240x320.
Save it as BMP 24bit.
Load it on nb_image_converter.exe and save it as splash.nb
open a cmd.exe command prompt on the folder where you saved your splash
run this command
copy /b splash.nb+padding.nb finalsplash.nb
Check that filesize of "finalsplash.nb" is exactly 262144 bytes.
create a samples.txt with the following contents
HERM200
HTC__001
1.23.707.6
USA
600,finalsplash.nb
601,finalsplash.nb
You may need to adjust HERM200 to HERM100 or HERM300 based on your model).
And you can have a different subsplash if you repeat steps 1 to 5 with a different file.
run the following command on a shell in the same folder:
nbhgen.exe sample.txt
extract the ROM image, e.g. with WinRAR
rename the .nbh file inside that folder to .bak
move your newly generated RUU_signed.nbh into the same folder
put SSPL-HERM.exe onto your device
run SSPL-HERM.exe on the device
check that the Tricolor screen will appear and show SPL-1.09.ds
run ROMUpgradeUt.exe
List compiled from three different existing tutorials - credits go to those! - and tested successful yesterday From CCRDude
I have only included files that I have created in this first post. If you would like your files added, please let me know. Both the PNG and JPG are included in the zip.

I already read this tutorial here on forum, but the problem is: I wanna change only the first splash screen, not the 1st n 2nd.
Can I use this program to create only the first splash screen with HTC's logo? Cos the 2nd splash screen I'm using this:

Hermes Splash Screen Howto
---------------------------
Create a BMP file in paint, size must be 240x320.
Save it as BMP 24bit.
Load it on nb_image_converter.exe and save it as splash.nb
open a cmd.exe command prompt, go to folder where you saved your splash

Filesize of "finalsplash.nb" should be exactly 262144 bytes.
Now put your phone in bootloader mode (side ok + power button + softreset)
Connect to bootloader using mtty.exe and load splash screen using these commands:
For first splash screen (MainSplash):
USB> task 32
USB> lnb finalsplash.nb 500e0000
USB> task 8
For Second splash screen (SubSplash):
USB> task 32
USB> lnb finalsplash.nb 50140000
USB> task 8
You dont need BOOTLOADER 1.01MFG,
Read MrVanx's guide http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=20&Itemid=27
and follow it word for word.
If you dont want to replace the second splash then either dont include the SubSplash or use the existing one you have.
I followed his guide yesterday and it worked perfectly for me and ive got SPL:2.10.oli
I downloaded a screen splash on this thread:

I changed the second splash screen to WM crossbow only with a simple .cab. Can I create a .cab to install on device? It seems more easy... :?
Hey,
does anybody known how to replace the splash screen on the HTC Athena the one that says T Mobile I would like to put one of my own.
Please advice me how to do it.
Thank You
Gigino
You can search in XDA in the section Ultimate.... But I believe it's like this: Via Resco Explorer you can find the file "welcomehead.192.png", it's in the "windows" section. This is the splash screen.
You have to replace it with an other picture that is even big 640 x 480.
Good luck!
welcomehead.192.png readonly
Replacing will be a bit difficult, because it is placed at the ROM.
Well, try to replace it with your next ROM-Update.
...
Have fun.
If you browse or explore unsing activesync/wmdc you can easily replace the welcomehead file even though it is in rom
First Splash screen
The file you said to replace is the green windows mobile splash screen (the 2nd splash screen to display) I'd like to replace the very first picture which on my ameo is the T-mobile one any ideas? I used picture manager to view all the pictures in the windows folder as I can't seem to locate the Windows folder when connected to the PC.
The first splash screen is normaly part of the rom that doesnt show up in the filesystem.
Splash image uploaders have been made for other devices/os's but require technical knowledge of the system.
Its not a file delete/replace or anything.
You will have to wait untill one of the forum gods create a bootsplash uploader for the Athena.
So is there a easy way to replace the "welcomehead.192.png" file then?

I've just managed to ahem, persuade Orange UK to sim unlock my Niki 12 weeks early.
The next thing I'd like to do is replace the orange boot splash screen to one of my own.
Maybe with one of R'kids stunning paintings http://www.artworkbysteve.co.uk/
Do I first need to CID unlock my Niki to do this?
Is there any software that is capable of doing this without bricking my phone?
I've done this previously with my wizard, but I'm still a little unsteady on my feet,
I need clear easy to follow step by step newbie instructions if anybody has the time.
Any help greatly appreciated,

To change the actual boot splash which contains the operator logo and ROM info text you need to flash it! the TD (Niki) has 4 splash screen as follows:
1-Primary Splash (Operator Logo)
2-Secondary Splash again operator logo with the ROM Protocol info at the bottom of screen in red.
3-Splash Gif animation
4-Splash Welcomehead i.e. WM6 splash you get before Today loads.
Splash 3 and 4 can easily be changed as mentioned here. I think what you need is to change Splash 1 and 2 if you want to get rid of the Orange logo however this can only be done through flashing (via customRUU) so you must make sure your TD has HardSPL otherwise you will end up bricking the device if you haven't check this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355730
At the moment I can only change the 1st Splash but can't seem to change the 2nd splash once I can figure out how, I will post the necessary files here
Here is a thread that shows how change your PrimarySplash screen. You do need to flash it, but its not that hard to do.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=361287
second one is easy to change. Just rename any .png picture to welcomehead.96.png and put in Windows folder on phone, replacing the one that's there. Then soft reset.
Thanks
Cheers fellas, I appreciate your help.
odd problem with Welcomehead 96
Tried overwriting the welcomehead.96 file but it can't be overwritten,
checked the properties of the file and all the options (read only etc) are greyed out?
Copied the file to my hard drive and it cannot be seen, even when I have the show hidden files folder option checked?
I'd hazard a guess that the PNG file is hard coded to the memory chip? so a Rom flash may be needed?
But I still can't work out why the copied PNG on my hard drive would behave the way it is,
maybe just having a thick attack.
I haven't come across this before, can anyone shed some light on it?

You can't overwrite files in the windows folder with the built in file explorer use Resco File Explorer or download freeware Total Commander from here: http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm

Here's how I changed both the 1st & 2nd Splash screens on my Wife's Touch Dual:
First create two splash screens (.i.e. PrimarySplash.nb & SecondarySplash.nb) using the methods & tools mentioned in PDAViet site.
1. Use Dark Simpson HTC ROM Tool
2. Select 'Hermes' as device
3. Fill in 'NIKI***' as Model ID (Instead of 'HERM***')
4. Select your Primary & Secondary Splash
5. Create the NBH file
6. Flash with the Touch Dual CustomRUU extracted from Niki Project's ROM.
Cheers!

Don't know what do you mean by "splashscreen changer" but if you are talking about WP7.X - Splash screen consists of specially compressed bmp file in XIP - oemlogo.bm_ and the same but not compressed file in OEM - mo_logo.bmp, Also it's possible to use third file - also regular bmp called mologo.bmp. Changing regular bmp is easy - just to copy them to \Windows of your phone. Compressed bmp should be cooked in. If you change only uncompressed files - you get first stock bootlogo, than custom one on boot - this sucks.
Loading screen is a png resource inside shellFrame.dll. If you want to change it - the correct way is to create custom mui - shellFrame.dll.XXXX.mui (XXXX - your default booting lang) with only modified windowsphone logo and copy it into \Windows of your phone.
Reboot is required to see your attempts working.

I told you - it's in XIP. That means - it should be cooked in while building the rom image. Do you know how to cook custom roms? If not - than it's nothing to discuss - you won't be able to change logo completely. Only the second part of it's appearance.

It's in Windows folder of the phone and it's hidden. You will hardly be able to copy it even if you see it.
So - you should get this file from ready-to-cook build uploaded in developer's thread and modify it with any resource editor.
