Hi Guys,
I'm trying to install a few of CAB's from the Orange Ext ROM on to my O2 Exec.
They all say they installed OK, but theres no sign of one of them, [a Signed CAB] even after a soft reset.
Do I need to do something else, to install Signed CAB's on other vendors ROM's ?
What do you mean with "theres no sign of them"?
No sign in the software removal section ? Thats normal because the cabs from extrom normally do not appear here.
If the desired effect from the cab is there yu got it working
Hi Ivan,
I've only got trouble with one of the CAB files, a signed one.
The file i'm trying to install is the 'Orange Today' plugin. It says it installs OK, but doesn't show up on the today screen or listed in its options.
The other CAB's which are not signed are Phone and MMS settings which install and work fine.
Is there something special I need to do to install an Orange signed CAB on an O2 Exec ?
Yes there is.
Unfortunately in the Orange rom are all files needed for the Orange style today screen.
In the cab file are only the reg settings to enable it.
Bad luck. Only chance to use it, is to extract the needed files and additional reg settings (there aren't all needed reg settings in the cab file) from the orange rom.
If you do this you will slowdown your device, because this thing is painfully slow.
OK, its seems i'm looking for the impossible again.
I'll give it a try the other way round.
Using the Orange ROM and adding the O2 settings and apps I need for work. Hopefully it won't be too slow when in work mode and the Orange plugin is turned off.
Thank you for your help Ivan.
I've just flashed the O2 premium v2.0 rom to my artemis, and I love it, but I really dont like the animated splash screen.
I tried using the latest version of SplashScreen.exe to customise it, but at the three colour boot screen, the utility fails saying it cant connect to the device. This must be specific to SplashScreen.exe as other utilities flash the phone fine.
So, without that tool, how can I customise the animated start screen, as the \windows folder doesnt allow me to make changes to the files there. Alternatively, if someone can post a utility to flash to a different HTC animated logo that would be great. I'm sure in the past I've seen a very small HTC animated logo on a black background - if anyone has that ready to go with an installer, I'd be appreciative!
Thanks.

just replace the animated.gif in windows folder on your device...
jvc
I tried doing that, but I cant delete the original file - any ideas?
Thanks.
Startup Sound
just overwrite the existing one with your one and you're done.
BTW:
Anyone knows how to get the startup sound working with our Artemis ?
On my Hermes it's working perfect. When i set exactly the same values in HKLM\Software\HTC\StartupAnimation
- volumn and wavFile - as my Hermes and point to my soundfile (it's a wav my windows folder) - nothing happens.
As above, I cant delete the file in the windows folder, so I cant overwrite it either.
Anyway, to work around it, I just copied a .gif file into the windows folder (called it animated2.gif) and edited the registry setting to point to that file, and it fixed it. Bit of a clunky way to do it, but it works!

That was the tool I was referring to, but when I get to the three colour boot screen, it fails to connect to my device Other flashing tools work fine, so it's something specific to this tool...

With the normal Microsoft tools it is not possible to overwrite the ROM files. But e.g. Total Commander can overwrite those files.

Is there a .cab app that can help u change the splash screen? without reg editing? i want to be able to do it so i wont have to edit the registry but im tired of the old splash screen!
Which splash screen and which device? The first one when it boots up needs to be flashed on. The second one (Windows Mobile Logo) can be overwritten by a PNG graphic.
For example:

hi,
for the first bootup/ splash screen, how to flash it? my device is Atom Life
I am trying to change the three startup images and need the tools to convert the bmp for the first one to nb and the nbh. I want to change just the first one can someone help. I checked the forum bt it seems each phone has its own setup.
Hi there!
I've just bought an HTC Touch Diamond and I'm loving it! I've just unlocked its SIM/CID (thanks to Olipro, OliNex HardSPL and the tutorial writers ).
Also, many thanks for ErviusKitchen! I'll probably donate soon!
The only thing I'm still figuring out is to remove the operator logo.
When I boot up my phone, I get this sequence of images:
1. "Touch Diamond" bootup screen;
2. My operator's logo (with R,G,D red texts on the bottom);
3. "HTCAnimationStartup.gif" (HTC animation);
4. "welcomehead.192.png" (Windows Mobile logo);
I've tried PatchSplash and could successfully change the first image, but not the second one, which is the one I'm actually trying to change.
Is there any Diamond-specific topic related to it (I swear I searched, but couldn't find any help)?
Many thanks, Filipe.
PS: the logo is not contained on the OS part of the ROM (e.g. an animated HTCAnimationStartup.gif) as I've switched ROMs and the logo remains.
Ok guys, I don't know if you sincerely didn't know how to answer or if you wanted me to search the forum more deeply , but I guess I found what I need.
My operator logo is stored on the SubSplash sector of my Diamond's ROM, which is displayed with the R,G,D info. I was using NBHUtil to create my NBH files and there is no option of such sector for Diamond (the developer should update that!). I've just found this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=462631) which contains a ready-to-flash NBH file that fixes both SplashScreens, so many thanks to the developer!
I haven't flashed it yet as my battery is less than 50% , but I'll provide info as soon as I do that.
Ok, now my new question:
Can I use a hex-editor to overwrite the images contained on the NBH file with a custom one with NB extension (generated by Splash-RSB Converter) and flash it directly to my device or is there any kind of checksum (or verification byte) that won't let me do that or even brick my phone?
If I am successful on this I'm planning to release a tool in which you load the images (BMP, JPG, PNG) and it automatically generates a NBH file.
Thanks again, Filipe.
EDIT: couldn't flash the splash images - I get INVALID_DEVICE_ID error. I'll upgrade my HardSPL to OliNex 1.93 and try again.
EDIT1: mHUAHAHAH I made it! Now my Diamond looks smooth! If you have the same trouble, try to upgrade your HardSPL to OliNex 1.93! Amazing, thanks!
