There are 2 ways to do it.

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.

I use Advanced Config and it works perfectly for me.

*edit* ok I figured out the name of the file (splash_218x170_a.png) but I don't know how to load a portrait and landscape version, so I modified these (see attachment) to work in portrait or landscape... just overwrite the existing splash_218x170_a.png file in the windows directory

copy into windows folder, rename from jpg to png files. It will over-write default htc loading screen.
