animated boot screens(like htc touch) inquiry
 

is there any way i can get the animated "sprint ahead" logo and gif on my 6700? i love the way it starts up and i think this would complete my wm6 rom nicely... i've searched around these forums but have yet to see animated gifs for a startup screen like the mogul or touch units for our apache's ... can it be done? or modified to work perhaps?

any ideas....anyone??

the boot is animated on the touch?
thats neat! i know we GOTTA be able to do this on our apaches

yes it is...it reads : "sprint ahead" with animated logos and powered by sprintspeed after that (also animated). Here is a video from youtube to display the startup of the touch. http://youtube.com/watch?v=VpQv0nR4EIU At about 2:30 min into the video the startup logos are displayed.

nice, i'll be looking out for this once it gets figured out.

No, it can not be done. For one thing, the bootsplash on Apache is not a .gif.

"it can't be done", meaning it's impossible? if the apache splash is not a gif, can that image be animated in some way in some kind of format that the apache is happy with? like fla or swf? just throwing random guesses out there...i have no idea what format the bootsplash file is or if other formats are availible

i am aware that the bootscreen on the apache in not a gif... i want to know how to get the animated gif screens from the touch and mogul to work for the apache.

From the look of it it is the same static boot screen, but they have inserted an animation of some sort RIGHT before the WM splash screen. I suspect this is just a time wasting ad on and that loading has actually completed by this time.

From what i have seen it is not the boot screen or the welcomehead.96.png. The animated screen comes after the welcomehead screen.
Here are some links to get the ball rolling for you. I test both of these programs and neither one worked on the apache.
