The new Imate Jas Jar rom goes through two boot images now. I changed the first and the second which says windows mobile now. Hmm where do we find that registry key to change that... Buzzz help
I have a vga device running WM6 and wanted to know how to change the splash screen, mabey a nice anime background Any suggestions welcome.
well, on my Smartphone (voq, WM2003se) it worked by editing the registry. all i used to do is finding the relevant image, which is usedfor bootup. (for met it was voq_operator_splash.bmp) i couldn't rename or replace it with some other file due to it's in the rom and so undeleteable or changeable.
but the trick is : search the registry for that filename and change the relevant key to something like XYZ (your filename)_2.bmp and place your file (using the same dimensions and filename/+_02.bmp in the same dir as the original. on next bootup (maybe you have to reset first) the new logo will be shown.
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
Hello,
I want to ask someone if there is a way to delete some texts when the device is powered on?
I have a problem that when I power on my device under the text "smart mobility" I got a message like this one: "Test only, Not for sale" .... so is there a way to delete this **** from the system ?
Thanks
using advanced config tool, you can find out the 2 (or 3) .gif files that are used in the startup animation. one of them will have that text. You just have to replace it with another.
Im not 100% sure that the smart mobility one can be changed but its a good place to start.

The smart mobility logo is not an image per say. It is embedded in the "splash" area within the rom. It can be changed but not as simply as changing .gif files.
If the text you are seeing is on the first boot screen (the Smart Mobility screen) you won't be able to remove it through Advanced Config. The startup animation is the second boot screen (typically the HTC logo or some other animation). Are you seeing the text on the first boot screen for sure? If so, I can give you a new .nbh file to flash with CustomRUU that will give you just the Smart Mobility logo.
hi - does that nbh file exist? i've got a similar problem and have tried flashing different roms but the "test only" persists.
thanks in advance.
