What's up guys,
As it has been assessed here but no one has been able to answer, I'm giving it another shot.
Obviously dumping the splash screen would be strictly for warranty purpose.
So I've had my diamond for more than 2 weeks now and I've been playing around with it. I've been able to reconstruct the OS ROM using the excellent tutorials found in this forum.
My question to you guys, which i haven't been able to get an answer, how can I actually backup my current splash screen.
I've read http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/xda/about-doc.html but i have a feeling the Diamond has a different DOC.
Looking forward to hear you from guys and good job on everything!
EDIT: I've been waiting for this for the longest time, yet no one has an answer to this... I'm kind of out of options right now :\
Friendly Bump
Bump... anyone?
I am pretty sure someone released the rogers splash screen on the board (I think with a rom they dumped). If you flash to another rom, unless that rom has a splash screen in it, it won't change the one on your phone.
I don't know how or I haven't tried anyways to dump the splash screen, but pof released a command line interface for making splash screens. Perhaps he knows (you can PM him) how to dump the screen.

Just got the default HTC_Default.tsk and i'm glad my phone looks the way I thought it would when I bought it. I'm trying to figure out how to get rid of the remaining traces of that hideous blu Cingular theme. Thanks in advance for any help.

I think you should take a look in the HTC Wizard forum, or use the search for changing your Splash screen!
What do you mean by remaining traces? Dialpad? Color scheme?
Sorry noobed out I forgot to say Hermes

Thanks for the reply mccune. I'm on a Cingular 8525 aka Hermes. I got the HTC_Default.tsk and it looks awesome. I'd like to get rid of the phone dialer splash with the blue background and cingular logo I see when I use the phone. I'm still butchering the names of all the screens so I apologize. I realize it's hard to communicate w/o the lingo down. I'm learning. I'm trying to change the appearance of the phone w/o bricking it with a bad ROM install before I know what I'm doing. Thanks in advance for any tips on where to look. I'm definitely willing to feed myself if you point me to the fish.
For dialers you should check: PaulYa
You can simply create your own boot screen by doing this:
- Create a PNG image 320x240
- name the image: welcomehead.96.png
- Set the properties of the image so that it's hidden
- place the image in youw Windows directory of your device
The third part, the splash screen. I suggest you search for it in the Hermes section. There is also a big topic about this in the Wizard section. Don't know if it works the same.
Awesome dialer!
Thanks for the 411! I'm running Paul's dialer and it rocks. I've been doing so much research I've forgotten half my life.
Hello all,
I'm new to this forum but have been playing at similar forums. It started with wanting to try every program I could find and lead to wanting to get WM6.1 on my Touch. I couldn't find one so I made one. It is my first attempt at anything of this magnitude. Anyway, I succeeded in Changing the splash screen and adding a few OEMs (sipChanger, Touchpal and a few others that may or may not stay.) I needed my Touch to stay fairly stock as I work for an Alltel Agent and need to demo my phone to customers. So all the stock software is still in my ROM. I posted it on ppcgeeks and ppcwarez but haven't had much response. I haven't had too many problems (a few quirks when switching programs but nothing major.)
Is there anyone out there that would be interested in this? I want to do some more modifications but if it's only for myself I will probably take my time.
Also I do have some questions, so if you are interested and want me to continue I would probably need some help.
Here is the link: http://rapidshare.com/files/102675408/plckc_signed.rar
I would up it to the ftp but I get more stupid as the day progresses and its already pretty late.
I started work on it tonight
This sounds like just what I've been looking for, but I'm not technical enough to be of much help. I'm downloading it now to give it a try.
help
how do i install wm6.1
Seen your rom on ppcgeeks, flashed it, and was for the most part happy. In the touchflo cube, the pictures and videos bring up a black screen i belive. love the wm6.1 though. I have since flashed back to the newest OEM Alltel, as I too am an Alltel Agent. When I get some time, I will flash back to yours and report on a couple of things that could improve it, as this is the only other Alltel rom i'd use besides the stock one. Also, does the rev a, and gps work well with it? Didn't have it on my device long enough to play around with it that much.
also would like to know about 6.1 for alltel touch
still pretty new to flashing roms and so on but have been doing some reading and getting close to trying something new. also looking for more reading, specifically related to alltel version please post links if you have them. main goal is to unlock gps and have fun learning about things. thanks
I managed to fix the "blank screen at the bottom" problem when flashing a splash screen. For Raphael it's currently working nicely, but for Diamond I need a volunteer to test this Details here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=436105
Let me know if you've tried it and it worked for you
EDIT: Now confirmed working for Diamond also. Thanks to Sevennl for testing!
hahaha..! I guess no one wants to be the first one in Diamond Let me just clear what this patch do--this fixes the old splash screen still occupying about 100px below the screen when flashing a new one-- so you don't need to flash only black-themed splash screen but true 480 x 640 screen
would try, but never flash splash screens... how often do u see them???!!

well.. it's for:
- people who don't want the operator logo/htc logo and a more customized one
- people who want to make the splash screen part of their "phone theme"
- people who want their info "harcoded"-- I usually put my contact details on the splash screen in case, you know, it gets stolen Easy to hard-reset and lose all your details, but not that easy to remove the splash screen for a person not reading much on xda-developers
so there!
hmm.... if someone found my phone, i doubt they could turn it on, let alone reset it to find my contact details (logic?)
i agree that some people may want the start screen (a sign of a reset after a crash) as part of their theme, but personally i dont see the point.
Cheers for the contribution, hope u find someone to test it.
I tried it and it works.

Im sorry to have to post a new thread I am all about searching and reading I was just looking for a kickstart towards the animated backgrounds Ive seen clouds thus far where they move around the home screen.. I am running WM 6.5 on a T mobile TP 2 if thats any importance... Thanks in advance
Also it nothing to do with my phone but the forum in general.. Which profile tab is the one where everyone lists their devices, programs, I thought it would be a signature but ive yet to see a "Signature" section
52 views and no responses?! did I not explain what I was looking for good enough? sorry to mislead the 52 people who have read the post I dont have animated backgrounds/ screen savers to offer but geez I was just looking for some help. Do I need to put this into a diffrent forum ive been learning here since my wing, tytn II, Hero but the touchflo is all new to me. Doesnt anyone have an answer?
You need to flash a cooked ROM with HTC Sense 2.5, unlike the 2.1 included in most stock 6.5 ROMs. Sense 2.1 doesn't support background animations, and you can only get Sense 2.5 in a cooked ROM.
And FYI, this forum is not HTC technical support and none of us are getting paid to be here, so it may take awhile before someone answers your questions. Just relax and wait for an answer, your thread has only been open for 3 hours so there's no reason to worry

Re: your question about your "signature". At the top of this page on the left under the title of the thread you'll see "User CP" click that. In there look down on the left hand side and look for "edit signiture" its about 8 levels down. In there you can write what you are running on your phone. That will give people a better idea as to how to help you.
Now, Regarding your question about animated backgrounds.... not sure I follow. what exactly are you looking for? Are you looking for animated backgrounds for your phone? Unless you have a rom running on your phone that is HTC sense 2.1 or any 2.5 (notice it's not a regular 2.1 but a SENSE 2.1) you wont be able to have animated backgrounds. Now, that said, IF you do have Sense 2.1 or any 2.5 rom running you can't just use any normal backgrounds in order to have the weather go across your screen. You'd have to use HDwall to make your jpg/png wallpaper a different file (the file that is compatable with weather wallpaper.) it does so automatically. Just take a look here HD Wallpaper Cab and have a read through.
Again you HAVE to have a compatable rom running on your phone. If you are running a stock rom odd's are it isnt compatable. I reiterate... it HAS to be sense 2.1 or 2.5.
Alot of the roms that are capable of this feature actually have a list of wallpaper options built in. I'm currently running the energry leo rom which is HTC 2.5. In there we have the option of a few weather backgrounds. You can check out the screen shot attached. You can find those roms in the rom subforum of the rhodium forums.
Thankyou Dave and thankyou Aaron.. It seems im going to have to weigh my options and flash this phone as well Ive done my wing ive one my tytnII so why not do another.. Thanks for the help ill be setting up the signature when I get home from work today.
Hello guys.
This is my first post on this forum. so I hope i'm doing it right.
I have a HTC touch HD with the most standarg TF3D on it (Version : 3.0 build 32567).
I see all the screens of what you people did with your phone and I like it a lot. So I looked and looked even more on the forum.
And still i can't figure out how to get a nice layout as you have. First I thought I need to find new ROM (Manila) But then I figured out I have Manila becouse it's TF3D.
I just totaly lost it. Can someone point me in the right direction so I can get a new look on my phone with the extra buttons and collorfull taskbar buttons?
I know it has to be found on this forum, And im not lazy to look (did that past week) I just have no clue where to start.
Tnx All.
