Quick question about point 21 of "Hermes_Upgrade FAQ"

[VivaErBetis]

Hello,

I got a question about the point 21 of "Hermes_Upgrade FAQ"; "Can I change the boot splash screen?". It says:

The boot splash images (shown when the phone boots up) can't be customized on the Hermes, they are flashed in the ROM with the NBH file and need to be signed with the proper HTC key.

However you can change the Windows splash screen that appears before your Today desktop by following these steps:

1. Create a 240x320 image (or bigger if you want it landscape too, it will be cut off).
2. Save the image in PNG format and name it "welcomehead.96.png".
3. Copy welcomehead.96.png to your storage card.
4. Use Total Commander to clear the +readonly +hidden +system attributes for "\windows\welcomehead.96.png".
5. Use Total Commander to copy/move this file to your \windows directory.
6. When done copying/moving, reset the readonly, hidden and system attributes for the file.

My question is; if I overwrite the file "\windows\welcomehead.96.png" and later I perform a Hard Reset; will the original windows splash screen appears or the modified file survives? I guess that it will be replaced by the original file again but I got the doubt...


Thanks in advance.

welcomehead.96.png is a rom file. i haven't tried it with hermes yet but the file was replaced with the original when i did it with my universal. i guess it'll be the same with hermes.

You answered yourself. Removing all custom files is one point a hard reset is all about...
.wysiwyg { background-attachment: scroll; background-repeat: repeat; background-position: 0% 0%; background-color: #ffffcc; background-image: none; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Arial; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal } p { margin: 0px; }

maybe a stupid question but how do someone can get rom's from the htc site if i can't even see a registration option in there?
cheers

i have an HTC Herald and have been scrounging around looking for how to replace the the welcomehead.96.png file with my own.

it's in ROM.

i've tried following all of the various setps i've seen listed for other HTC devices but none are working.

all i'm doing essentially tho is creating my file (320x320px png file). using total commander to move it over to my mobile device.and copying it into \windows.

i've tried checking and unchecking system/hidden file checkboxes in all possible combinations and it doesn't really make a difference. everytime the file transfer fails.
