Is it possible to replace it with a gif, or with sound as well? I was thinking of maybe a TARDIS materializing, or a DALEK saying "exterminate" (it's a Doctor Who thing....sorry).

If neither of those ideas fly, I take any picture, decrease it to a 320 x 320 image with the upper corner the 240x240.......right?

(or can I just create a 240x240)

I made two, I will place one on tonight, but I thought I would show them and see what you guys think. I only made them 240x240 since I only have that size screen (700wx), but if there are any other whovians out there, I would love to share and make more (and get better I hope).

Let me know what you guys think...nothing special I know, but I think its cool!!!

Hi All,

Thanks for the great info, I've got an image to use, but even with Total Commander I can't replace the png file, says it can't change/delete it as it is a ROM file.

Is there any way around this?

Thanks

Can someone post thee one from the touch, the stock one, i accidentally deleted it of my desktop. Just in case i decide to go back to factory.

Here is one that I made and am using now, I have always used 240x320 and never had any problems...:)

HOWTO: Changing Windows Mobile SPLASH screen on startup
 

hey, i havnt seen a thread on this, and i know that the windows mobile 6 splash screen (bright green) when you turn the phone on gets to some people cus it got to me dammit! lol... anyway, its very simple to change, you will need to find an image you want (240x320) and name it to "welcomehead.96.png" without the quotes. using resco explorer, or any other file explorer that gives you full access, place the new .png file in the /Windows directory. it will ask if you would like to replace becuase the file is located in ROM, hit yes.

NOTE - once you change this, it is done. you cannot "undo". you will have to find the original splash screen and replace again if you want to go back..

anyway, here is the one i made, if you guys have them , lets see them!!

another quick note - i have only dont this on my Sprint HTC Vogue (Touch)... i dont know if it will work with other PPC's so if they break, do NOT hold me accountable.. whenever you edit the ROM you always have a chance of bricking your device!!

heres another one i made real quick... enjoy!

for some reason they are not uploading 240x320, if anyone wants these ill zip them up and add them... o well, sorry about all the posts haha

I would be interested in the second one if you didn't mind making it into a zip file. Thanks!
