2nd splash disappeared, not a welcomehead.96.png problem!!

[fordcan]

My second splash screen (Windows Mobile) has disappeared. ATM only a white screen and fortunately I can boot.

I copied welcomehead.96.png to my PC to see if I can edit it (YES) and back to Wizard \windows folder and still same white one...

Any suggestions (I do'not want to flash or something like that because it takes a lot of time to shapen up the programs installed)

BTW, I have AKU 2.3 Mr. Clean 2.24 ROM. I can't edit extended_rom because of Wizard Extended_Rom 2.xx restrictions (no solution yet, at least I couln't find anywhere, Just Buzz was working on it)
:?:

I had this happen to me too, if you are using your own one, just replace the files again. But if you are not sorry you will have to find someone with that file. I copied it in 2 times and it works ok now!

[fordcan]

Find what? an original "welcomehead.96.png file" ?

[funman]

ya, cus i have changed my, but i did not like it so i did not keep a copy of the one it came with!

(cus the 1st file i put there did not a thing but then the 2nd one said to replace the file and i said yes!)

...It isn't dissapeared. Just delete the new one and voilà, there it is: the original.
I myself got a white screen after I installed pocketRSS reader...

[fordcan]

Exactly the same program "pRSSreader". After installing it just a white screen. Will give a try to delete.

I have replaced it many times but nothing changed. Deleting might be a solution as yours

I'll post if I manage

Thanx

NOPE, didn't worked for me. I deleted ones, there u go, the original ROM file. but nothing changes.

...only when you uninstall pRSS the whitescreen disappears. It doesn't matter whatever you do.
But IF you have no pRSS anymore then you can regain the original welcomehead.96.png, because it's not gone but hide away...

[fordcan]

Easily changed 1st splash with rom update (seems harder) but I'll give up the 2nd one because I like to use pRSSreader. Maybe ask the developer for a bug.

Thanx anyway

I tried deleting the welcomehead file but Resco says it can't be deleted as its in ROM.
I have the same problem, installed pRSSReader, it made my screen disappear. So I uninstalled it but the problem is still there.
Any fixes?
I would try the ones above but I can't seem to delete the png file.

Thanks..

copy welcomehead.96.png from Windows folder to anywhere(can be your PC) and copy it back to Windows folder.

think it will work

[PhoenixAG]

I tried that. It doesn't seem to work :(
I renamed the welcomehead.96.png file and then I deleted the renamed one. It created a new png file which, when I open, I can see is the Windows Mobile screen.
But it doesn't show on startup.
I also tried copying it to my storage card and then copying it back to Windows.
Doesn't work :(
Any other suggestions, please?

if you navigate to
HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin
Change the value of Enabled to 1
Soft Reset

do you get your logo now ....


I know changing the value to 0 should give the the default windows mobile screen

[PhoenixAG]

It was already set to 1 so I took a chance and changed it to 0.
Well...its still the same.
This is unbelievable. I also had a go with Total Commander and some of the instructions around this forum. Nothing. :(

I can't believe the developer of pRSSReader can screw up so bad...I am going to make sure I tell everyone I know to steer clear.

Thanks for your help, though...

try to create another welcomehead.96.png with properties 240x320 24bit (important) with your PC copy it over PPC windows folder. it should work.

i have done like this way and i change whatever i want but pRSS reader get things conplicated if u want your welcome screen do not use that program as well.

[PhoenixAG]

Should the image be 320x320 or 240x320? I know the resolution of the device is 240x320 but many people who have posted here on how to change the boot images say it should be 320x320.
I will do the above and let you know how it goes.

[fordcan]

I can easily change my 2nd splash before pRSSreader and now and will after (uninstalled that RSS program)

I posted this thread becuse I wanted to learn if that program created the bug or not and if it's possible to overcome that problem without uninstalling. Asked the buddy who wrote pRSSreader and absolutely he was not aware of the issue. maybe will solve it eith the next release who knows ??

all my images are 240x320 24bit .png and they work perfect.

let me know how it goes as u told

[PhoenixAG]

Well, I edited the original 320x320 image to 240x320 and then copied it to my Windows folder. It still doesn't work! It's so strange :(
I can't imagine how its not working because it seems to be for everyone else.

I can confirm that the problem took place after I installed pRSSReader as I didn't install any other program before that for at least 3 days. It's a very nice program (and free, which makes it nicer) but not worth the trouble if it messes up my system.

Well, I guess I'll learn to live with it...till I decide to do a hard reset and install all my stuff again (which is just scary as I have a lot of stuff and it'll take up tons of time).
