It works by just putting it in the Windows folder, with the original name: HTC.gif?
Also, I have WM6 on my Trinity, does it still work with this operating system?

Htc Splash
I am looking for the HTC second splash screen and sound file. I just flashed the HTC splash I got from Schaps over my AT&T build the first HTC screen comes up fine then that AT&T 5 bars with 3g I can't stand comes up . I want the HTC one where the HTC icon dances and there is a sound like a door bell, Does any one here have that .gif and .wav file I can just copy to windows and edit reg file.

Original boot screens needed
I was wondering: is there somewhere around or could someone make a ROM update utility (or another alternative way) containing only the default white HTC and the default Windows Mobile 6 boot/splash screens to use with Trinity already having cooked WM6 ROM installed?
Disregard that:

The How to Flash BootScreen .NBH Image to Your Phone Guide

Hello,
The reason why anyone would do this is for example - I installed the Rogers WM6 but preferred the HTC BOOTSCREEN Image - hence why i personally did it. I did not like Rogers BootScreen Images as they take too long to boot as well as the bootscreen image in the Rogers WM6 used to load after the Green Windows Mobile Screen and on power-up, it used to have a black screen instead of the bootscreen image which to me did not seem practical as I rather see that the phones turned on right away than wait till the Windows Mobile screen loads. I've successfully flashed HTC Bootscreen image using the following steps. I had a member ask me how to flash .nbh files to phone. I'm talking specifically about the bootscreen .nbh images. In order to flash .nbh boot screen images - you have to flash through USPL. Here's how to do it -
1) Firstly, Download all required files that is
a) USPL CID -BYPASS
b) RUU
c) SDA APPLICATION UNLOCK
d) BOOTSCREEN IMAGES(IT CONTAINS HTC, ROGERS AND TMO BOOTSCREEN IMAGES)
2) Copy/Paste RUU File that is ExcaIMG_USPL_1110000unsigned.nbh to the desktop.
3) Copy/Paste ANY of the preferred BOOTSCREEN IMAGE (i.e. for example HTC.nbh) to RUU directory
4) Right Click ExcaIMG_USPL_1110000unsigned.nbh and Select Rename - Press Ctrl + C to copy file name
5) Head over to RUU and Right-Click HTC.nbh, Select Rename - Press Ctrl + V to copy over existing file name.
6) Once you're done this, REMOVE SD CARD AND REBOOT PHONE
7) Once done, APPLICATION UNLOCK YOUR PHONE IF IT HASN'T ALREADY BEEN APPLICATION UNLOCKED - YOU HAVE TO RUN SDA APPLICATION UNLOCK.
8) Now, Run USPL, Make sure you follow proper instructions as this is the main thing - if everything done right, you'll see screen goes into dim black with penguin and green messages, wait until you see the screen turns white then go to active sync and disable usb connections.
9) After this, run RUU and it'll use the re-named file which is the boot screen image to update the boot screen image. It will take max. a minute or two.
10) Once done, I think you see the tri-color screen but there won't be a cold boot - It'll reboot i think and go directly to the main screen.
11) Reboot and see if you see the preferred boot screen image.
For now, I'll post HTC, TMO and Rogers Boot Screen Images. We should still try as a group to create Custom Boot Screen .nbh files. If someone who know's how to make it, please share in this discussion.
Also, Does anyone know how to bring back the "Vibrate" mode during startup and shutdown?
Good Luck ! Post any concerns or any questions
NOTE: Please follow proper instructions, otherwise it won't work. If i'm missing anything, please let me know as I did this flash yesterday and I'm writing the guide today. Also, YOU HAVE TO FLASH THROUGH USPL - IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOUR PHONES CID UNLOCKED OR NOT.
Credits go to da_mayhem for uploading the images.

sweet, thanks... I'll try this later tonight after i get home from work... or tomorrow

woohoo, sweet... thanks for the guide lukybandit.
On step #2, you'll want to "Cut/Paste" if you copy, it leaves the original file in the folder, so renaming the HTC.nbh isn't possible unless you delete the original file.
also, step #8... DEFINATELY make sure you disable USB connections, i tried without and it didn't work...
However you're supposed to do that for WM6 rom updates also, but i never have, and haven't had a problem... until now that is.

Change HTC Splash Screen
Hello,
How to change the HTC splach screen which appears just after powering on the device?
I tried a lot of tools but I did'nt found one which works. Is it because the Excalibur screen is 320x240 instead of 240x320?
Does someone knows how to do?

This is not this splash screen I mean.
I am talking about the first one, which is in the NBH file as a NB file. I don't manage to make a good NB file in the right format to flash it using RUU.

nbh file wat folder wuld that b in because i jus changed my shutdown screen and i want my turn on screen to b da same as that one

you need total commander to overwrite

No one knows how to make a NB file that contains the splash screen? The default HTC NB file begins with "this is smartphone signature".

i changed my shutdown screed with resci explorer but to change the start up screen the htc screen and the freen windows mobile screen i want to get rid of those ugly screens

any1? a little help lol just want to change the start up splash screen any1 know how

You can use nbimg, to convert from NB to BMP.
For excalibur you'll need to use the following syntax:
Code:
nbimg.exe -F MainSplash.[nb|.bmp] -w 320 -h 240 -n
Also you'll need to add the "this is smartphone signature" manually to the generated NB file (using an hex editor). Maybe I'll add support for doing this automatically if there's a need. PM me as I'm not following the thread.

just saw on another thread how to create a .nb file from a .bmp .... i placed this here because apparently luky got the tmo and rogers .nbh files which have the mainsplash.nb files in them. need to know how to take the .nbh files he included and replace the mainslpash.nb and mainsplash.bmp files with the ones i created
heck i'll even upload the images here if someone wants to show me what to do

i was able to get the .nbh file created but when i flashed the phone with that file the first screen now looks like a green gradient image and not the image i put in the .nbh file

thanks for this man much appreciated.

Changing the Start Button Icon

I've seen a lot of people asking how folks have changed the Windows logo to the HTC one and so on. I am one of those people!
There's a thread over in the Diamond Forum here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437307, that discusses altering the taskbar icons.
I've had a read of that but it doesn't appear to discuss the start button. I've currently got a cab installed that gave me coloured icons on the taskbar but also the 3d MS Office style start button. I like the icons but not that start button.
Is there anyway someone could provide an idiot/noob style guide for altering that icon. I'd love to have the Vista start button on my HD (attached image) but have no idea how to go about it aside from I think it has something to with .dll files.
Can anyone explain this? Anyone? I know there would be a lot of people grateful for it! I've Googled and used the search but just cannot seem to find anything!
I've attached a mock-up of my ideal; I've got the coloured icons, just the start button to go!

I think....
the explanation is to edit the shellres.192.dll file here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2791169&postcount=3
using the process here?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2791165&postcount=1
No?
EDIT: I am going to try myself this evening with your very nice icon...will let you know how it goes, if you don't beat me to it!

I believe you can do it with Wisbar.

you had a chance at it yet? did it work?

...........

This is the thread I used to alter the Windows logo to a HTC logo among other things in this thread. It's dead easy,
1) Unsign the file using Unsigner linked to in the thread further up (on page 2 of the Unsigner thread there's a .bat file that I found gave a better idea of whether it had worked or not).
2) Open the file in Reshacker and go to Icon on the left hand side and click it to expand it. Go to number 292, click it and it will expand to show 1033. Click 1033 and it should be the start menu icon. Right click on 1033 and select Replace Resource. Select Open File With New Icon and find your new (resized) icon. Double click it and it will show a preview of new and old. Click Replace in the bottom right corner.
3) Save the newly modified file.
4) Sign the modified file using Ssigner linked to in the thread above. CHECK THE TEXT FILE IT CREATES TO MAKE SURE IT SIGNED OK. Don't forget this bit as it will mean a hard reset if you do (as I learnt).
5) If you've not installed SDKCert.cab some time in the past. download it from here, copy it to the phone and install it.
6) Copy the file to the Windows directory on the phone using Resco Explorer or Total Commander.
7) Reboot the phone.

how did you copy shellres.192.dll? it says "Acces denied" even with resco. No chance to renaming also

To get the file in the first place you need a program called ROM Extractor on the phone to get the file from ROM. There are also different varients of the ROM for different locales. There's a description in the link above.

thanks for your efforts but seems a little complicated TotalCommander did the trick, resco seems to have some security check problems
anyway, unsigner doesn't work so i'm stuck

Try the .bat file in the second page of the Unsigner thread. Copy Unsigner, the .bat file and the file you want to unlock to the same directory and double click the .bat file. Also, because the file is from ROM make sure it's not marked as Read Only when you get it to your PC before unsigning it. If it's from ROM they're usually Read Only for a start.

Not yet. Just got back from work. I need a different job...
I will try tomorrow. I have been meaning to give this s shot for a while now, and the icon you posted is what I have been looking for.

the bat only automize the process... It doesn't work anyway as it still use UnSigner

Do you have the cab to change the other icons? I had a quick look on the diamond thread but couldn't find the exact ones you have! Thanks.

True, but when I tried Unsigner on it's own it didn't give any feedback as to what it was doing (or if it did I missed it) so I changed 150+ icons only to find it hadn't been unsigned and therefore couldn't be resigned. At least with the batch file I can check it's been properly unsigned before making changes.
Does it give you any error messages when you try Unsigner?

that's the point: no errors from unsigner, but resourcehacker can't open my file (not valid bla bla bla)

In which case I'd say the file hasn't copied across properly from the phone. Reshacker should be able to open the file and allow editing even if it's still signed. I'd try ROM Extractor to copy the file from ROM to elsewhere on the phone and then copy that across to the PC.

uhm seems reasonable
but I don't want to extract all my whole rom for a stupid dll... I extracted with total commander, isn't supposed to work this way?

Nope, certain ROM files can't be copied using normal file copy programs. I've found that they try and copy, then say the "File already exists, do you wish to replace?" and then whatever you select you're left with a 0k file with nothing in it. The ROM extractor doesn't copy the whole ROM. When you launch it you get a list of all the ROM files. Double click the one you want to extract, give it a location (\ usually for the root directory of the phone) and a name and click Extract.

Ok, I will try. But how to replace when modified? If I can't even read it, how will I replace it?

[How To] Have black and white Samsung keyboard installed at the same time

Have got it working on my S2. The goal is to rename the package of one of the keyboards. I renamed the black one from "Samsung Keyboard" to "Samsung Black" and have both white and black versions running in parallel at the moment
1) Decompile SamsungIME.apk of the black version of the keyboard
2) Go to AndroidManifest.xml and on the 2nd line, change package="com.sec.android.inputmethod" to package="com.android.inputmethod"
3) Go to res\values\strings.xml and look for "Samsung Keyboard", change it to whatever name you want to give. I gave it "Samsung Black"
<string name="app_name">Samsung Black</string>
4) Browse to \smali\com\sec\android and cut folder "android" and move/paste it under \smali\com. The path should now be smali\com\android\inputmethod. Delete the blank "sec" folder.
5) Use a tool like FAR to search for string "com.sec.android.inputmethod" under "res" and all its sub-folders and replace with string "com.android.inputmethod"
6) Use FAR again to search within 'SMALI' folder (and its sub-folders) for string "com/sec/android/inputmethod" and replace with "com/android/inputmethod"
7) Use FAR again to search within "SMALI" folder (and its sub-folders) for string "com.sec.android.inputmethod" and replace with "com.android.inputmethod"
8) Recompile the file and put it in \preload\symlink\system\app with right permissions and name it as "SamsungIMEb.apk" for e.g and link to "System\app" and reboot.
9) You should see 2 samsung keyboards, one black and 1 white assuming that the white one was installed as the default keyboard originally.
Hope it is clear. If anyone needs more guidance on using FAR tool, please let me know. In the FAR interface, browse to folder, enter file extensaion as .smali or .xml, enter the search string. Do a search. The right pane will list all files. Go to replace tab and enter the replacement string and click on "replace".
It is important to follow the order of steps 6 and 7 else it will FC.
Update: you can have a third once if you follow the same procedure to rename "com.android.inputmethod" to "com.inputputmethod". Dont forget to move the folder

Dacia boot animation

Hej,
I made for me from the uk Dacia video three boot animations, but without the slogan: you do the maths ...
In the video is the Version the simpleShort.
What have you to do to use it and what you need?
Needed:
First: you need to have the root rights.
Secound: a file commander which can use root like the total commander.
Third: Download the animation which you want to use.
What you to have to do to use one of those boot animations:
1. You have to go the radio in the Settings -> factory settings -> enter the code 126 -> select the dancing droids animation. Reboot and look if the radio use it.
2. Delete the copy of bootanimation_dancing_droids.zip in /system/media/ (or in /system/mtc/) than copy the new bootanimation_dancing_droids.zip file to that folder and give the rights 644 (ie rw-r-r) -> right click on the file in the total commander -> properties
3. Restart your head unit and enjoy it

Have you thought about just importing the boot animation via factory settings?
