There should be a way. The Jasjar ROM does it from within a file in the Extended rom called Default_Imate_PPC_SA_V5.5.03.cab I believe.
i haven't run that cab on my Jasjar, and i still have the imate initial loading screen, i have found the windows loading image tho
Code:
\windows\welcomehead.192.png
its in rom and cant be replaced, nor does it appear in the registry so atm its not changeable

That's not the one I'm looking for (this one CAN be replaced btw).
I am looking to replace the splash with the clubimate Website adress that comes up when booting. Must be somewhere a *.nb1/2 File.

Agree Carnivor,I want to share it,too.
You have to give the replacement the same name, that's all.
But again: it is NOT the Start Splash screen !

How, i can't overwrite a rom file, using any application
Actually, it CAN be done.. While we were trying to get Chinese/Japanese to display properly on WM5 earlier, as we all know the NLS file as with the splashscreen file are build into the ROM, we all thought earlier that it can't be replaced.
Then a company recently released a Chinese coding enabler program for WM5 and solved the NLS issue, and one of the memeber here Asukal based on that finding released his own version as well. The cab file that Asukal made has a setup file which mentioned something like "usemynls.exe" and instead of replacing the NLS file under window directory, a new self made NLS files is placed under \Temp\wince.nls and I guess WM5 will bypass the build in NLS file when it's running "usemynls.exe"
The "usemynls.exe" seems to be a file included with WM5 as well since in Asukal's cab, it was not included. My guess is it's just matter of finding out how to bypass the splashscreen file to use your own.. Hope I'm making sense here and maybe we can ask Asukal for more info?

Thanks for Mr.sef
Still not perfect and sometimes hang up if you toggle the Today Plug-in.
Pls try as your won risk.
If you feel so bad coz of the OS is not stable, pls use without Asukal.cab.
Less Chinese Interface, but more stable.
or make disable the Device Lock on the Today Screen.
Good Luck
Thanks again for the great word....
Actually I prefer to use English OS interface with the ability to read chinese only.....(I think it should be easiler to build??)
But this one is ok as I didn't install your cab file.
Thanks a lot.

PLS try, so nice! i hope...
1st one i uploaded, if you use Asukal.cab, the more mui can work.
those mui were made from old WM5, so they are not match well with
new os.
for example, thres.dll, old version dll doesnt have "Device Lock",
But new thres.dll have it, so if you use Device Lock on Today, OS will hang up.
Many of dll are different from OLD WM5, i suggest this rom only use for
test.(but without using asukal.cab, not so bad)
Good luck!
The first one after flush look great but install Asukal.cab the today plugin
will be stop try to reset can't be done.

i have cooked successfully more than 10 roms, WWE vesion to CHS vesion, they all work fine.
but when i want to cook a new rom based on LVSW 0320 vesion, i failed. i found that the default.hv can't be transfered to txt file, once i edit this file, os can't boot and stick on the SubSplash screen. but user.hv can do that.
sorry for post this new thread but i have posted under lvsw's thread and no one answer me.
can anyone help me plz, i really like this ROM.
thanks in advance.
i had the same problem... then i came up with a briliant solutiion
you know the user.hv and initdata can be edited without any probs..also this version of the rom deploys the ext rom aswell.. so what i did was i edited config.txt and added a cab with the HKLM etc regs that go into default.hv into the dump folder and generated a rom with that cab inside..
and VOILA... now i have a custom rom with all my settings... i figured this way out after hours of frustratingly trying to edit the default.hv
hope this helps

thank u, i have tried ur solution, but there is a big problem, .cab file doesn't support chinese caracter, so edit default.hv is the only way.
dont know if this would help you but take a lot here :
www.asukal.jp/hv_rom/hive2.txt
or simply use Make_HV, found it in the development & hacking thread.
First covert the hv file to rgu (which is simply REGEDIT4 Format) then make changes and convert it back.

You don't need a .cab for this. The program that goes through Config.txt can handle XML files with registry settings directly. So, grab any of the .xml files listed in Config.txt as a template for your own .xml file. Then just add your new .xml file plus a line in Config.txt referencing this new file, and you're all set.
There's another solution which I found much more convenient: use bepe's Rom Kitchen, and import whatever ROM you want. If I'm not mistaken, it's even available bundled with a Chinese ROM already. There you can edit the .rgu files from which the Registry will be created. This eliminates the need to read any of the .hv files. Worked very well for me! Also, since bepe's kitchen recreates the packet structure of the ROM, it's so much easier to understand which files and registry entries have a dependency or belong together. Highly recommended!
Cheers

Please don't take offense, but I'm starting to think you got the ROM as it is..."protected" that's why all the customizations are done via AutoRun.exe and xml files.

Yes, 0320 can't be edited. But 0325 could. But you can't use the regular tools..you have to use the "more Storage" tool, then just manually copy the "default.hv" and "user.hv" from the "dump" folder, use the regular tool and covert it to .reg. Then you make modifications to the registry file, convert it back to .hv and copy them back to the "dump" folder..you can add files by just copying files into the "dump" folder..after you are all done with it, just continue with the "more storage" tool to make your new-os.nb
I cooked a rom with LVSW0326 base and embedded CE-Star, Real One Player, Ewallet, Bluetooth Chattin' and Cyberon Voice Commander 2.0 (extracted from Dopod). I also modified the connection profile to include the Cingular MediaNet settings. Everything is working fine except that the Cingular MediaNet connection which I have to enter the username and password when it's use the first time. I am wondering if there's a registry key or cert that is holding the username and password setting which I have missed?

Thanks. I already know there's CABs out there to automatically set those settings. But what I mean is to embeded that into a cooked rom, so everyone when I do a hard reset, the programs and settings are still there. I just wanted to modify the registry instead of calling the CAB from the Ext. Rom.

The LVSW 0326 edition has to be cook differently becuase it uses the "more storage" option. The Koch can not handle this type of files. What you can do is to manually extracted the rom to NBs using nbhextract. Then use the utilities in the "more storage" option to dump the files of the 06_OS.nb. Then add the files directly to the dump folder. convert the default.hv and user.hv in the dump folder to registry file type. edit the 2 files, convert it back to .HV type and place them back to the dump folder. Then modify the iniflashfiles to accomdate your needs..finally, you can then use the koch tool to convert the os-new.nb to signed RUU.nbh.

Actually, there isn't any risk here as long as you are only working on the OS only flash.
oo.. i see.. bcause i'm using mtty to flash, and using SPL1.01 MFG.
so mine is complicated
I have learnt so much from this site that I want to give back what I've learnt to the community.
I have put together the tools made by the brilliant minds here, I won't name all cause there are just too many. This is a Kitchen that I put together on how I would take apart a ROM and then fiddle around with it and then put it back to flash to my device. Its nothing brilliant, but it does the job just alright.
Thank you to bepe, core kitchen, CUSTEL for teaching me, Olipro, and a lot more i can't think of at the moment.
http://rapidshare.com/files/49695507/Hermes_Kitchen_v1.0.exe.html
Here is what's in the .exe file:
1.0 .nbh to .nb
2.0 Dump .nb
3.0 Packaging Dumped .nb
4.0 Extracting XIP from .nb
5.0 BuildOS and CreateROM
5.1 Edit initflashfiles.dat
6.0 Build Ext_Rom
7.0 Splashscreen viewer
8.0 .nb to RUU_signed.nbh
9.0 RUUWrapper v7
Tools
I've used this technique to take apart ROMs from Schaps, Sleuth, Faria, Custel, Dutty and more. Black version 3.0 and below can be used. But for higher black versions, JJ deletes the .rgus and therefore its difficult to rebuild with the missing .rgus. I don't blame JJ cause he works really hard on His BlACK Roms and someone comes and takes it apart and edits it and puts it up as his own. But all the chefs have worked endless hours and continue to work on them. So with this tool, maybe you guys can stop asking for so much from the chefs and do it yourselves...
Just try this out. Its nice. There is a step by step also with pictures.
Take care.

Can you adapt for trinity?
I think you just have to change the utility for flash.
I am sorry man. I have no idea how the trinity works. I dont have one. I just have a hermes. Hoping to get a kaiser soon. If it ever gets launched!
Is there anyway (i know there is, i have done it!) you can get your bat files to delete the temp/un-needed files, im running throught your kitchen now, it seems pretty good, apate from the fact that there is loads of temp files and directories.
yor bat files can be set so that when they finish the operation, they delete what the user dont need
(i can do this but it is your kitchen, so i posted to see if you would do it!)
also when you say to run the package tool, and replace and missing files, i have just dumped a ROM and i am missing:

bennec83
p.s. using NBHExtract to dump the nbh is much faster than the method you have here (im just thinking coz u said you have a really slow laptop!)
The missing files usually would be next to the OEM and SYS folder when you use the PKGtool. Also, i have no idea how to make the .bat file. If you know, you can do it for me and maybe i can include it? Cause this is how i do it. And i took this all from tools i found all over the whole XDA-dev site. I'm no genius in this programming scene. Just know enough to get by.

ill make new or edit the ones you have that way ther is not so much un-needed files left over. i will also send you a replacement for your first folder, it is much faster, also i may have an improvement for the dump step too.

Hey bro, I dont get what you mean?
I have the folder in there. And i have an example of all the stuff thats in the extended ROM. If i'm not mistaken, type this in the config.txt or preconfig.txt depending which you are using.
EXEC:\Windows\cusTSK.exe \Windows\bennec83.tsk
CAB: \Extended_ROM\bennec83.CAB
Remember to save it as read only. All files in the extended ROM beforeusing the HTC Extended ROM.exe must be READONLY!...
The file you sent to me is good. But dutty's way is fine and its not a matter of fast or not. Its a matter of user friendly. Your way, aka pof's tool is good. I've used it before. But then have to explain to some noobs how to drag and drop the file onto the DRAG HERE.bat... get what i mean? Thanx again.
Any other way to improve this? I am trying to make it as fool-proof as possible.

EXEC:\Windows\cusTSK.exe \Windows\bennec83.tsk
CAB: \Extended_ROM\bennec83.CAB
Remember to save it as read only. All files in the extended ROM beforeusing the HTC Extended ROM.exe must be READONLY!...
The file you sent to me is good. But dutty's way is fine and its not a matter of fast or not. Its a matter of user friendly. Your way, aka pof's tool is good. I've used it before. But then have to explain to some noobs how to drag and drop the file onto the DRAG HERE.bat... get what i mean? Thanx again.
Any other way to improve this? I am trying to make it as fool-proof as possible.

Thanks for the EXTROM stuff, the config.txt and perconfig.txt actually go into the extrom dont they? whats the difference between the 2?
(Change the name from "Drag Here" To "Click Here" and it is friendlier as you have to load no software, jus put the nub into the same folder and click! )
Okay bro.
So, config.txt in OEM/OEMAPPS is for you to execute whatever you want without an Extended_ROM. You must have Config.txt and AutoRun.exe in the same folder. Some ppl don't like it this way. As it wastes precious space. So they use a different method. They use the Extended_ROM to store their stuff and settings and then while rebooting from a HR, they tap into the Extended ROM and get the stuff.
So for extended ROM, you need the 2 files, PreAutorun.exe and Preconfig.txt. The exe file is to run the preconfig.txt. So in the Preconfig.txt, lets say for example there is this in there:
SHOW:\Extended_ROM\MSFT_Logo.bmp
LOCK:Enabled
;EXEC:\Windows\cusTSK.exe \Windows\Black Vista.tsk
EXEC:\Windows\SetHSDPA.exe /Enable
XML: \Windows\Settings.xml
Hide:Enabled
EXEC:\Extended_ROM\AutoRun.exe
LOCKisabled
RST: Reset
So what this does is executes the HSDPA settings, and an .xml file which has some tweaks like the GLYPH and Page settings ****. And then it executes the AutoRUN.exe in the ExtendedROM. So now in your extended ROM, you should have the config.txt and AutoRUN. Autorun points to config.txt and PreAutorun.exe points to Preconfig.txt. So now in your Config.txt which is in your extended ROM might look sometihng like this:
SHOW:\Extended_ROM\MSFT_Logo.bmp
LOCK:Enabled
CAB: \Extended_ROM\ITS1027_FixActivesyncWlan.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\1 Signed_Dpdcert_222.cab
CAB: \Extended_ROM\2 05_NetWiz-ExtUp-V12b.cab
;CAB: \Extended_ROM\3 RescoExplorerEn_p.ARM.CAB
;CAB: \Extended_ROM\4 FtpAddinEn_p.ARM.CAB
;CAB: \Extended_ROM\5 RegistryEn_p.ARM.CAB
;CAB: \Extended_ROM\6 Levels.cab
;CAB: \Extended_ROM\7 enAlarmPPC v3.3.1.CAB
;CAB: \Extended_ROM\8 UTAv3.cab
CAB: \Extended_ROM\9 WM6_Sound_Scheme.CAB
LOCKisabled
RST: Reset
I hope this helps, Take care.

JJ deletes the .rgus and therefore its difficult to rebuild with the missing .rgus. I don't blame JJ cause he works really hard on His BlACK Roms and someone comes and takes it apart and edits it and puts it up as his own. .

Hi bern,
congrats on your rom building package.
in regards to the rgu's i delete them to save around 1.5mb of storage space. if someone wants them a PM is all they need to do, no one has asked so far.
Ooo.. i didn't know that. I thought you actually needed them to get the ROM running. Sorry dude. But then again when you hit buildOS and CreateROm, i think after that, you can delete all the .rgus right? Not sure tho... anyway... Will keep that in mind the next time i wanna take your ROM apart and edit it. I stopped using your ROM at Black v2.5 (Which to me was by far the best).
Take care JJ,
We miss you around here. Got your imate yet? or your Kaiser?

i don't know if this will help you: what I do is have one config.txt in \windows cooked in ROM that looks like:
LOCK:Enabled
CFG: \Extended_ROM\Config.txt
LOCKisabled
RST: Reset
and than the second config.txt in ExtROM which is similar to the above (does all the customisations, settings and progs, etc)
In fact if u look in \windows for mxipupdate_zzPIED_101.provxml it should be pretty self explanatory how the process is triggered. All actions & names of .txt's are defined there.
In my case see enclosed.
hope it is useful for u,
cheers dan
