1. just rename the file to "Startup_640x480.gif" and drop into the Windows folder on your device. Then restart it. You will lose the original file though.

2. the second option is to modify your registry to point to the new file.

here is the registry location where you indicate the file you wanna use.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCAnimation]
"GifSpeed"=dword:00000040
"ShutDownWav"=""
"ShutDownGif"="\\Windows\\animated_HTC.gif"
"ShutDownAsStartup"=dword:00000000
"StartupWav"=""
"StartupGif"="\\Windows\\Startup_640x480.gif"

Change "StartupGif"="\\Windows\\Startup_640x480.gif" to the path of the file you wanna use. Save your changes and reboot your device.



Ok, I recommend you use method #1. Just make sure you backup your original .gif file before dropping the newly renamed file into your Windows folder.

thanks!!! I did option number 2 and it worked great, was even able to put the sound from previous post!

I use Advanced Config and it works perfectly for me.

i did pull up advanced config and settings are the same as well but still not workin.....hhhmmmm...any other suggestions

[henbone11]

Advanced config didnt work for me either. I would set the path but it would never show on startup. I renamed the startup animation to Startup_640x480.gif then put it in the Windows folder. Then I went into the registry and made sure that it pointed to the Windows folder and the Startup_640x480.gif file. Works like a charm now.
