Desktop Application = nb image converter.
Purpose = use to convert ur .jpg file into a set of splash1.nb and splash2.nb files (the win mobile thingy uses this pic format at bootups).

Copy .nb files to your device /windows directory.

copy BootSplash_Changer.cab to device and run it. lastly please do a soft reset.

done.... ;)

thanks

Some phones (not the Alpine as far as I know, though) have two splash images, and show splash1.nb and splash2.nb as they boot - if you look through the forums, some people detail how they've got pictures of their kids or family as the splash images.

The Alpine / 2020i just uses the one though, I believe. I remember creating two different images, but it just showed the first one until it reached Windows and the PIN entry screen.

I see... I used only Alpin so don't know what shows on other...

btw - can I save my current boot picture?
because if something goes wrong - i belive my guarantee would be canceled if they notice I made something with it...

I managed to obtain the original XDA2i splash image from the ROM, and I posted it up on this forum.

I saw it, but I live in Russia, and here is no O2...))
my alpine has picture of Moscow with some numbers at the bottom - some serial number I belive...

If you are very patient, you can strip out the original boot splash logo with a hex editor. It took me a while to get it just right, but it is possible.

Alternatively, if you have the original firmware on your PC or on the web anywhere if you send me a link to it I can try and strip it out.

I believe someone's also in the process of making a program to save the original boot splash, but it's not finished yet.

Google for the file, put it in the same directory as the .exe and it should work ok.
