Looking for AT&T splash and today screens.

Looking for AT&T splash and today screens.


I would like to get my hands on these images too. The way I have been doing it is flash back to the original ROM, once stock flash the radio back to the new version you want, then flash the OS to the new ROM version. You have to pick a rom that doesn't touch the splash though. Only went through that PITA once. It would be nice in case a Cingular Rep ever got their hands on it.

has the PrimarySplash.nb/SecondarySplash.nb and the RUU_signed.nbh I just did and tested.

I'm still looking for the today screen

Yeah thats the one. Can I just drop and replace this one?

[Daali]

from the FAQ:

Disable/change the startup animation or sound

HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\StartupAnimation

Enabled - change from 1 to 0 to turn everything off and permanently fix the volume issue.

You can also customize the animated boot up by deleting or changing 2 keys. (Doing this does not fix the volume issue)
Delete the WAVFile Key to remove the sound only.
Delete the GIFFile Key to remove the animation only.
Put your own .GIF file or .WAV file on the phone and rewrite the 2 keys (WAVFile GIFFile) to the new file location. i.e. \My Documents\Files\CustomAnimation.gif


The Gif key portion was where this .gif was linked on the original. Place it somewhere and change that key.

Strange... I don't have these entries. May be the ROM that I am using (Black 2.5) I will try adding them and seeing if that works.

Thanks for the info. All of the stuff I got from the wiki pertained to cooking/converting an image.

[diaftia]

I assume:

KLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\StartupAnimation

Enabled - change from 1 to 0 to turn everything off and permanently fix the volume issue.

is a DWord decimal value of 1?

and
Delete the GIFFile Key to remove the animation only.

and this is a String value to the path\file?

BTW: I am now on the Dutty V2 ROM and these values do not exist. Might they only work on factory HTC/ATT "hacked" roms? I have read there might be DLL's that go with these entries.

Well Has Anyone Been Able To Get The Animation Version To Work?

I put the entries in as above and it did not work. I ended up using the one w/o animation. I have a feeling you only have the registry entries there to be modified if you have an OEM ROM.

[chymmylt]

I have a feeling there are a few more registery entries in there then he wrote in there - would like to see a reg dump (at least of that section). There are also probably some .DLL's or other files we need to fully get it running! Maybe I'll dump a Cingular rom later to see if I don't see anything obvious :) I'm assuming this is in the new Cingular rom?

[diaftia]

Yes, should even be in the one before it since when I bought my phone about 2 months ago it was animated as well.

[chymmylt]

So far from the digging, the Registry entries are:


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\StartupAnimation]
"Volumn"=dword:10
"WAVFile"="\\Windows\\3G_Up.wav"
"GIFFile"="\\Windows\\3G Up_01_1.gif"
"Enabled"=dword:1


I've not yet found any other entries related to it on a quick pass through. The animated gif and sound file I have attached but I have not yet got it to work. I did notice there is no welcomehead.96.png and I wonder if it the existence of that file on my current rom has anything to do with it. I've not been able to delete the file (part of the rom) to see if it would have any effect. This is about as much as I'll be able to figure out for right now at any rate. If anybody else has any ideas as to enabling it (is there a .DLL that needs to be loaded? Part of me wonders if there is a command to execute it built into the bootsplash within the section that is usually added as padding? Just some brainstorming.

You can delete the welcomehead.96.png by getting another file browser (like Resco Explorer or Total Commander) and changing the file permission.

[cpcrazyfly]

some at&t today themes would be nice. i really like my WM6 Vanilla theme, but if someone could throw the new at&t logo on there somewhere id be very appreciative. maybe the bottom right corner of the today screen?

[hfam95]

According to this forum >http://forums.wireless.att.com/cng/board/message?board.id=cingular&message.id=41950&query.id=90285#M41950

You have to power the unit off for 10 seconds for the changes to take effect. Dont have time to check it. Can someone verift?

[Madcap180]

lol.. can someone make a RUU that will install just the animated splash screens from AT&T? is that possible?

[Lordsmiff]

You can delete the welcomehead.96.png by getting another file browser (like Resco Explorer or Total Commander) and changing the file permission.

I'm not sure where this myth has come from but you cannot delete files from the ROM. You can overwrite them with a newer version that is held then in memory but you cannot delete a ROM file, even with Resco or Total Commander.

Also, I think I've read somewhere that the animated bootscreens aren't just a case of using GIFs - i think there was some other jiggery pokery (technical term) mentioned - I'll try and dig up the post i read...

Smiffy.

[yozh]

That splash screen looks good I would love to have that back, I`m on shadow and would love to have that

[Madcap180]

So does anyone know if it's possible to do a splash RUU kind of like with Wizard splash screens? .. to get the original animated one back?

I guess ppl are not that intrested in this :(

[mercx]

I would like to know this as well. After updating to my AT&T updated rom and then now being on the Custel ROM I would like to have my AT&T bootscreens back. Would be nice to know if there is anyone of updating using a process similar to the bootscreen process in the Wizard.

[Madcap180]

its ok I just flashed back to official att rom .. i missed the splash screens that much ... ;)

[hfam95]

Tried the registry, wav, gif files but it didn't work. There has to be some other things to try.

[Lordsmiff]

I'm still working on the animated stuff to see if I can get it working (don't hold your breath, though) but in the meantime, here's a quick flash that will replace your boot screens with the AT&T ones, along with the today screen and third boot splash.

For the flash, please make sure you have olipro on it, in case of problems as I accept no responsibility...etc, etc...I have tested it on mine and it looks quite good actually but, cover your own ass and put olipro on.

Today screen...looks a bit naff but it is the default AT&T one and for the third boot splash, just copy the welcomehead.96.png file into your windows folder and overwrite what's there.

Should all look, well, very AT&T ish :)

Cheers,
Smiffy.

[Madcap180]

Why not just dump the Custom ROM that you are using, and remove the splash, then flash back to original rom, flash radio and then flash the custom rom again.

[hfam95]

i think the point is that he (and some of us) like the ROM, but want the original splash screen/ 3G animated logo.

[Madcap180]

I know that, I was saying, dump the custom rom, edit it to not include splash screens, then flash back to the original at&t rom so you can have the animated splash screens, then, flash your custom radio, then flash the custom ROM you edited to not include splash screens. That's what I did.

You can also flash the ROM that you want and then flash the splash screen. That's what I did! :)

[Madcap180]

yeah I didn't have the animated AT&T splash screen as flashable utility.. so I had to take the splash screens out of the rom I was using and do it the hard way.. do you have the animated splash screens as a RUU? if you do, can you upload and post a download link?

[ChaoticDruid]

Whats with the askin people for the RUU....shouldnt you be able to just extrach the splash.nb files from the att rom, with Dutty's Koch, and then using custom RUU or the SD card method, just flash that way.

Not intending to talk smack, by my above comment, you just seem to know enough to be able to do this, so I dont understand why you ask, and Im fairly sure it should work, since it appears the os doesnt matter.

[Lordsmiff]

The splash screens I've posted (as an RUU ;) ARE from the AT&T rom - the animated bit is part of the OS not the splashscreens.

Smiffy.

[ChaoticDruid]

Ahh my bad, I was under the impression that by flashing the att rom, then another OS only, that the animation was still working, reason I mentioned just using the koch.

MadCap, your animation stops working, after doing this, right? I was for sure at first that your's still worked with a different os, by the way you explained it.

If not, has anyone put the Att rom beside a few roms here, and attempted to build a file list, to see if there are any files besides the reg entries needed? you could also possible look in Custels Cingular .cab and help sort out un needed files.

[Madcap180]

Well, that explains why it stopped working once I switched OS's .. ;)
