Me 2 . I also would like to see the zip posted.

Thanks!

I just saved original welcomehead.96.png to a folder on my pc for backup, then DL the pic from OP as is, resized with photoshop elements to 240x320, renamed and saved, copied to windows directory and .....voila!

and Here is the resized 2nd image.....

bump for a friend

heres that 1 you both asked for, sorry it took a day, lol couldnt find the thread... anyway, idk if its differant than the 1 that was resized... maybe a lil bit more clear, who knows... enjoy!

Thanks S3. I'll give it a try a little later.

Works like a charm... Thanks Spunks :)

Pinch

Yup, works fine and looks really great. Thanks.

On a related note, on the Sprint Touch it's also pretty easy to change (or disable) the startup animation that plays before the splash...the one that shows the glowing Sprint Logo?

Go To:

HLKM\Software\HTC\StartUpAnimation\

You'll find several keys there you can play with including "Enabled" (switch to 1 or 0 based on your preference). If you keep it enabled you can use the key "GIFFile" to change the Gif used (although I simply named my animation "SPCS_startup.gif" and copied overed the original to make sure there weren't any gotcha's along the way).

There's also a "DelayPerFrame" key and a ""WAVFile" key to help you customized it even more.

After wasting DAYS of my life creating several differnent anims and sounds...I decided I liked getting to my Today screen as fast as possible and s-canned it all opting to disable it completely. Doh!

here is a few I made.

Size is 240x320.

I never have it in landscape mode except with the keyboard out. Ive never had a problem with it.

Can Someone please Re-up that link to the Section where it Explains how to change the Boot.Screen/Splash on a 700wx (240X240) ...

thanks in advance'

Re: How to: Replace WM Splash/Boot Screen
 

Now for a question of my own. How can you replace the Alltel and HTC screen when you boot up the phone? I found a file called HTCABOUTLOGO.bmp in the Windows folder. Is this the HTC screen that first comes up? I should try to replace it real quick, but I don't have my programs up and running. My laptop just isn't as good as my home computer!
Cheers

Re: HOWTO: Changing Windows Mobile SPLASH screen on startup
 

Not sure what I am doing wrong here.

1st, when I take the old file off my phone, it says it is 320 x 320 not 240 x 320.

2nd, it says it can't replace it because it is a read only file. I have resco explorer, I try to uncheck read only, hit ok or done. go back and look at the file and it is back to read only again.

So what am I doin wrong here?

Re: HOWTO: Changing Windows Mobile SPLASH screen on startup
 

Well It doesn't work on the Mogul. tried to turn off the Sprint stuff and wont let me. Keeps reverting back.

Re: HOWTO: Changing Windows Mobile SPLASH screen on startup
 

Ok, so I am fairly new to this...how do I get to windows directory to replace the splash w/ my custom one?? I named the file accordingly and have resco but have no clue what/where to look....and yes I searched.

Thanks

Here are two Cricket Splash Screens!! Enjoy!

Re: HOWTO: Changing Windows Mobile SPLASH screen on startup
 

i have the new wm6.1 rom on my mogul..will it still work with that sam .png name..

Re: HOWTO: Changing Windows Mobile SPLASH screen on startup
 

I searched the registry, and in this folder, I find no registry entries. So I made a dword entry called "Enabled" and I gave it a value of "0". This did nothing.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Re: HOWTO: Changing Windows Mobile SPLASH screen on startup
 

Made my fisrt Windows Mobile splash screen, it's very simple (but when you are not good at graphic work you gotta start small)....

Re: How to: Replace WM Splash/Boot Screen
 

here is the first one I made, just remember to change the name of it to "welcomehead.96.png"

I know it's not all that special, but when you aren't very good at graphics, you kinda have to start small and work your way up :)

Re: How to: Replace WM Splash/Boot Screen
 

I just got done working on making a Windows Mobile Splash Screen for each Soul Calibur IV char.
Here's a few of them:

You can grab your fav char by going to: http://comics.erichss.com/PPC/SplashScreens/SoulCal/

And remember to use them as your Splash Screen, you need to rename the file to welcomehead.96.png and replace that file in the /windows directory.

Re: How to: Replace WM Splash/Boot Screen
 

For some reason I got the idea to make splash screen with newer pics of classic gaming icons simply set to the background of their classic/original games.
Nothing all that hard or anything, but I thought it seemed like a good idea.
Here are the first three I have done:
