you should modfiy the UNI_splash.bat

"bin\pdocwrite.exe %1 0x3efffe4 0x9601c >> Splash.log"

to

"bin\pdocwrite.exe c:\new_splash.rsb 0x3efffe4 0x9601c >> Splash.log"

it's my splash.log

Thanks Wlinsong , now I had O2 Exec with Dopod CHT ROM and my gf picture in my bootscreen , its cool.
Wlinsong do you dump Dopod HK rom yet ?

[hdubli]

Two advantages...

1) as obvious....new splash
2) original splash images are also saved...

Very Good tool Indeed

[Melty]

This sounds like a great tool. Thanks buzz!

I have a question though: is it necessary to do a hard reset, or should a soft reset work? Only I have run the program and it said it worked and yet I still have the old O2 splash screen... :cry:

[Manolito]

These are great news!! :lol:
I've been searching for such a tool maaany weeks!

Will try it soon. Thank you in advance! :)

[Melty]

Sorry about that. I forgot to put the ".rsb" on the filename so it couldn't find the new ROM image. Now I have fixed it and it works beautifully!

[buzz_lightyear]

hi guys,
i'm glad, that you like it :o)))
however, I cannot get the problem, why it was necessary to modify the batch.

you should supply two parameters.
first %1 is the new splash.
second %2 is backup filename.
no spaces, no special characters.

if you don't give it parameters, it is looking for
c:\new_splash.rsb
and saving old splash as
c:\backup_splash.rsb

please can anyone clear it for me?
It was really too late yesterday, maybe I did some mistake in that script :o)

i'm about to write a proper app in c++ later...

thanx
buzz

[captainsensible2002]

I fixed the .bat file by changing the %1 variable used in the pdocwrite statement to %NEWSPLASH% - it worked fine then. I presume this is because %1 and %2 are command line variables that get cleared at the next command (pdocread).

[alfazulu]

I have done the above and it works, except I get for a very brief period a white blank screen before the new splash image loads. I do not recall this behavious with the prior original splash image.

Does everybody else have the same behaviour?

here is my log file:

Yes, I get this, but its so brief I'm not worried about it personally. Not even sure whether it didn't do it before either!

It is normal. You probably didn't notice that behaviour.

[VIPPER2004]

Works Great!
Another Great Work Buzz!
Thanks

[hollinshead]

I don't suppose anyone has the original T-Mobile splash screen do they?

[magpie2000k]

Buzz you da man.....

works a dream and was fed up with the old bluetooth one.

one question as I dont fancy trying it at this time, does it remain on hard reset or does the process need to be done again

Cheers again for all your work..

Magpie2000k

[buzz_lightyear]

@magpie2000k
it is hard reset proof.
goes away when you flash new OS ROM.

@hollinshead
t-mobile logo is in tmobile's OS ROM.

buzz

[magpie2000k]

that makes perfect sense.... I suppose was a stupid question based on wher the splash image is..

cheers again

[simon_darley]

Totally and absoloutely awesome (took a few attempts, but finally got it perfect)...

Heres mine....


Advice from members accepted... but oooohhh so cute... little darleys....

[vijay555]

Buzz: I thought you were on holiday this week?

simon_darley: are they the little darleys?

V

[Melty]

Simon - that's a really cool photo, but if it is your kids I would suggest you remove it. The internet is full of murky people. I don't even want to post my bootsplash picture for this reason and mine is of my cat! :wink: The thing is, he's so cute that everybody would be wanting to lure him away from me... you get the idea.

If you are reading this and are not a child abuser then please don't be offended - I'm not talking about you!

[vijay555]

:) I didn't want to mention it, but that's kinda why I asked.
We're all freaks enough as it is, but a tendancy towards the Garry Glitter is a bit much I think.

And if you are a child abuser and are offended by this, pick on someone your own age. Kids have enough to worry about with us as parents :wink:!

Is there a way to extract it from the ROM file, or would I have to re-install the T-Mobile Rom on my device?

I'm currently using the I-Mate ROM you see.

Thanks,

David.

Hi,

I'm using this beautiful image, made from nero 7 program.
Enjoy it

[jasljaslgps]

buzz.....thanks a lot !

[suniil]

Tried and done successfully with one of the above images, but the bootflash image looks like blured! any thoughts?

My mistake :evil: - created file in landscape

[McDoPDA]

Thanks a ot Buzz. ;)

[bukwit]

Would someone please post the original O2 splash as I need to send my exec back for repair...thanks

[torgamm]

You'll find the RSB file attached to this post (in a ZIP file as RSB extension is not allowed).
It is the backup file I made with Buzz' UNI_splash utility

[TheBlasphemer]

Here's the original T-Mobile MDA Pro splash screen.
I know it sucks (hence why I'm replacing it ;)), but I made this copy if you need warranty on your device or anything. Have no idea what their policy is on changed boot images :/

[moghisi101]

Hey

How can you extract the boot splash image from a device?

Thanks

[zarish]

The utility saves a backup_splash.rsb file which is the splash screen it finds on the phone before the upgrade.

BTW - works great, I like my nice new screen.

[drumbo]

Hi ya folks,

Would anyone have the vodafone boot screen per chance?

[adamelphick]

I put a picture of Hong Kong Harbour during Festival of Stars as my boot screen... if anyone wants to use it here is is:

[neildunne]

Hi guys, i'm quite new to all this so please be patient. I've installed the Rapicab on my exec and executed it, i've created the RSB file with the tools supplied, but i keep getting this message when i run UNI_splash ...

Backing your old splash to C:\splash_backup.rsb
The system cannot find the path specified.
Could Not Find c:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\original_splash.bin
Backup finished.
Writing c:\new_splash.rsb splash into the ROM
The system cannot find the path specified.
------------DONE---------------

Do i only have to run the Rapicab file on my device just the once, or every time i try to change the splash?
Once i have created my bootsplash image in rsb format, do i transfer i ti somewhere on my device, or do i put it into a specific location on my pc?

Any help from the experts will be greatly appreciated!

[simon_darley]

go to buzzdev.net and follow those instructions exactly.

[fatchopra]

hi,
would this work on a blue angel on WM5? i am using the IVAN ROM. a quick reply would be appreciated.
thanks

[neildunne]

I've followed the instructions exactly on BUZZDEV, thats why i'm asking for some help with my problem. There must be summat im doin wrong :?

[Diggia]

These are some of my Splash Screens
Some images are not my creation, I've just edited these

[greg123]

Small problem on mine, followed the instructions perfectly and the bat file did all it was supposed to, wait while backing up, wait while loading new file, press to reboot - all looking good, backup of the old file appeared on my pc no problem.

BUT....

No new splash screen! Still got the old windows one! Oh dear, why???

Help!

Done it 3 times now double checking everything... no error messages either!

Help...

[moghisi101]

Are you talking about the first, second, or third bootsplash? The third one is a .bmp in the windows folder

[greg123]

Fixed the first bootsplash now - I didn't power off for 5 sec before reboot, did that and all fine now.

What is the filename of the 3rd (windows mobile) splash so I can change it?

[moghisi101]

You can change bootsplash N3 by overwriting 'welcomehead.96.png' (sorry, it's not a bitmap)

Take a backup of the original, although you don't really need to.

[greg123]

Thanks, got it - it was 'welcomehead.192.png' on mine but I got the idea and sorted! Now I have 3 different goldwings appearing on my loadup....

Greg.

[moghisi101]

yea sorry, forgot that it is different on the VGA Exec (i have QVGA Wizard)

new meaning to the phrase 'splash screen'? 8)

[buzz_lightyear]

yeah... really a splash!

but in fact, the best splash effect is achieved only, when you drop the device into toilet or bath tub... ;o)))
no need for photoshop...

2. Universal Splash Tool http://buzzdev.net/read.php?40,32810
3. RSB - BMP Convertors http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317436

could someone confirm if i have everything i need please?

can someone point in the right direction with instructions on what i need to do to change the bootsplash please

Thanks in advance
