Cook your splash screen

[ivanmmj]

Btw, this is where I got the ability to cook my splash screen on my ROMs. You know the first bootscreen.

Here. (http://www.pdaviet.net/showthread.php?t=18256)

I don't speak Vietnamese, but it's pretty easy to figure out. If you don't understand me, tell me and I'll write a walkthrough. The pictures tell it all, though.



EDIT:
Things you need:
-Thay Doi_SplashScreen.
-NBH_Tool_v1.1.
-HTC_ROM_Tool.

Create a BMP or JPG that's 240x320.
Run Chạy Tool Replace SplashScreen.exe
Click Load Bitmap and choose your file.
Click Update Splash.
It will create the needed files where the BMP/JPG is currently stored.
Take the ruu_signed.nbh and use NBH_Tool_v1.1 to extract the PrimarySplash.nb that you can use with your ROM.

[duprade]

you should probably type it up anyway. hah

[GAMBIT999]

Thanks for the link, Ivan

[kweng_ca]

Can someone upload the files, I cant read the site so I cant make a log in lol.

Thx

Thanks Ttran!! I knew someone would step in and help me in my time of laziness. :p

Okay, this is probably a dumb question.

I followed your instructions to the letter -- got the PrimarySplash.nb file.

My questions is Now what do I do to flash it to the phone. Go back to step 1?

Please Advise

Thanks

Now that's going to be another post... How to install your newly created splash screen.

=============================

Download (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FAQKY5EM)

This file will contain step on how to create a nbh file. Just follow the steps and only include your PrimarySplash.nb file and not the rom.
Then flash it as you would with a rom.

Good luck,

Okay got it. Will try it. Thanks.

by the way, thanks so much for using Megaupload and Not Rapidshare. Megaupload is by far the best.

I'm nervous about doing this but here goes.

[zcink]

Just one question. I put the PrimarySplash.nb in splash box and not system box -- right?

Please advise.

thanks. (I just don't want to brick my phone.)

[zcink]

Okay I did what I thought and it worked great. Thanks again!!!!!

[s14tam]

yay for viets! (sorry gotta represent)

[neptune]

found this...not sure if you can do anything with it

[ivanmmj]

found this...not sure if you can do anything with it

Haven't tested that, but it's probably for one of the other two startups. The first startup cannot be changed without flashing.

Be nice if you could tweak this. Says ROM by Tom Condron. Nice graffics though. Uninstalled.

[chris30_2001]

tried it out, got the nb, converted to nbh, flashed with the loader that came with ivans clean rom, but it didnt work. Nothing happened. Any ideas?

did you make the picture that you want for the flash screen ? Did you download the easy how to as well ???

[PURESKILLZZZ]

Ok I am no noob .. Maybe im too tired or I missed something somewhere in all of this. So let me ask all the dumb questions and hopefully you can make this a sticky clearly explained. Lets start will all the directions 1 by 1 and hopefully 1 of you geniuses can clean it up then hopefully make a sticky .....

A.) Download all files needed. (assistance is more than welcomed here)

B.) get the picture you want to use for your splash screen.

(**Instructions written by ttran001**)

1. Copy the image you would like to use into the image folder.

2. Open up the Step 1 folder and run the Replace SplashScreen.exe file.

3. Click on Load Bitmap from the newly opened menu (Replace Artemis SPlashScreen.

4. Click on the Update Splash button.

The PDA Phone ROM Update Utility 3.0.3.1 menu will pop up.
Leave it alone.

5. Go back to the image folder for step 1 and locate the RUU_signed.nbh file.

6. Copy the RUU_singed.nbh and place it into the RUU_signed folder.

7. Go back and close out both PDA Phone ROM Update Utility 3.0.3.1 and Replace Artemis SplashScreen.

8. Now go to the step 2 folder and double click on the nbhtool.exe.

9.This will open up Dutty's good NBH tool v1.1.

10. Click on the Decompile NBH file button.

11. Browse back to the RUU_singed folder and locate the new RUU_signed.nbh file.

12. Choose the same location or the one of your choosing to save the extract files.

13. Once completed it will extract a new file called PrimarySplash.nb, this is your new Splash replacement file.

OK we now have that part as easy as can be. Now the next parts for creating a nbh file.

Download and extract the HTC_ROM_Tool to your computer.

Double click on the htcrt.exe file to get started.

This new screen will popup.

Click on the Build! button.

On this screen click on the box under the Device: to select your device type.

Choose Herald

Type in your version of the rom, example: 4.10.531.3

Click on the box highlighted in red to choose your OS.nb file.
( Now where do we get this file from i would like that clarified and have it added to a download list for the sticky please.)

Click on the Build ROM botton.

This new screen will popup.

OK ... Now we have a nbh file... Now what would be the correct way of flashing this to a device. also the basic questions.

1.) Will this delete and or change my settings. ?
2.) What are the risks of flashing this way ?
3.) Does this work with HardSPL ?
4.) Does this work without HardSPL ?
5.) Must the picture be a bitmap ?
6.) Can I just use the ReplaceSplashScreen to just change the splash screen ?
7.) Does the program ReplaceSplashScreen work on wing before HardSPL or after or both ?
8.) Maybe im really tired how do I put pictures in this thread ... LOL ...

[Cye3212]

If I want to change the Windows Mobile splash also, do I change the name from "PrimarySplash" to "Secondary Splash"? or something? thanks.

Yes you can make a PrimarySplash file and then re-name it but you must have both files mate.

This is not related to the thread. This has nothing to do with cooking your splash screen. Please either PM him directly, or post a thread about it. (Or better yet, search, the answer is there.) :-)
That way you'll either find the answer or someone will actually be able to see your question.

[bigdee]

[jkiller122]

nah, u have teh same thing I have, this is just the icon I need dutty goods hbh tool program. I appreciate the effort though.

OK ... I knew I had reposted a link for dutty's excellent tool ... Here is my original post for it .

If you followed all of the steps from the readme file then all you need to do is flash your device with your new nbh file as if you were flashing a rom.

when I flashed the rom, when it was done it said the file is corrupt and then it said file or image too big.

[ivanmmj]

That's strange. Did you place the splash under the splash section and not under the system section?

[jkiller122]

That's strange. Did you place the splash under the splash section and not under the system section?

u know what that's was gonna be my next try cuz I thought this ain't a system rom, thanks anyway i'ma try that right now and let u know.

[jkiller122]

That's strange. Did you place the splash under the splash section and not under the system section?

let me ask u, If I flash this rom do I have to take out the open touch rom out of the ruu folder cuz I left it in there and it just winded reflashing the same rom without the custom splash screen

[ivanmmj]

Yes, take out the other nbh file.

[vgomez916]

do i have to reflash my existing rom and wipe everything out to change splash.

[pseudoproto]

No, this only changes the first splash screen, it won't do anything to your ROM.

[vgomez916]

do i have to reflash my existing rom and wipe everything out to change splash.flashed all ok thanks:)

[PURESKILLZZZ]

flashed all ok thanks:)

I see you are happy now ...

[zcink]

You can actually take anyone's rom (.nbh file) and decompile it with duty's tool. You will get 3 .nb files. Primary Splash, windows and radio.

Then when you remake the .nbh file, you can put in your own custom Primary Splash.nb, the extracted windows.nb and the radio.nb and make your own custom rom -- sort of.

When you have the .nb file for windows, you can also change the pagepool size at this point if you wanted to.

I have to be honest . This hasn't worked for me yet. As simple as it may seem I have not cooked a splash screen into any phone . I can created the picture I want .

1.) I can extract the RUU_singed.nbh file

2.) I can use nbhtool.exe and get the file PrimarySplash.nb

3.) After that the rest of the instructions are futile to me and I guess nobody else wants to say anything about it.

The problem is once you have the PrimarySplash.nb How to exactly step by step put it on a phone . Now I am no noob but this walk thru is more like a run through and no good luck or even a kiss .. LOL

You have to cook it back to the ROM you're flashing. Or just leave it in RUU_Signed.nbh format and format your phone with that.

1. run splashscreenchanger
2. when romupdateutility starts... do nothing BUT
3. copy the ruu_signed.nbh to another folder
4. cancel RUU

5. run nbhextract to extract the ruu_signed.nbh to primarysplash.nb

6. use htcrt (htc rom tool) to recreate a ruu_signed.nbh BUT with right device (choose herald)
7. flash to device!!

good luck

[zcink]

Found this on another thread -- I hope the creator doesn't mind me using it.

I made it into a Primary Splash screen. If you like it, just flash it like you would a rom. It will change only the first Splash Screen.

Enjoy!

OK .. Thanks papa for your funny way of teaching . Guess you must have all your students loving you if you teach in the same manner .. Thanks zcink for actually sending me a file that worked for me to see the solutions as well .

Now to make a noob's how to as I see where a person can go wrong. have to update the old how to here nd give credit where credit is due.

OK folks ... I have found the answers to all and will add the full version to my wm6 & 6.1 thread ....

Once again many thanks to all who helped me papa who is a great teacher and will have you laughing as he teaches. zcink who always quietly finds his solution and will always share. Dutty for his wonderful nbhtool as his work is legendary already. Dark Simpson for his htc rom tool. And all the others who helped me learn and the noobs who got me searching for answers.

And last but surely not least ivanmmj Who started this thread and brought this to our attention. And ttran001 who wrote the original how to, all I am doing is making it easier for people to use and supplying all the files.

Ok my phone is HARDSPL and I followed the steps in this thread in order to change the splash screen. I got to the nbh file part and went with doing the uspl flashing. I received a message saying the file was corrupted. When that happen I'd thought maybe it doesn't work that way so I tried flashing using HARDSPL way and now my phone doesn't power on at all. Is this the end of my wing? Any solutions to fixing this?

Duc


I made sure I picked Herald and I input the rom version that was in my phone which was the touch 4.0 micro. If I can just get the phone on I could probably flash it again using touch micro 4.0 with the sd card. Again... tips on how to fix this if it is fixable is appreciated.

Which splash screen is animated in t-mobile ?

Which splash screen is animated in t-mobile ?

That would be the second screen shown. The first one is part of the Splash NB file and the second and third are cooked into the OS itself but can be changed without having to cook the ROM.

It's a gif. If you download my JustClean EasyBakeOven, you'll get all the packages you need for it and how to use them. They won't work in that ROM, though... since I broke the animation in that ROM and was too lazy to fix it...

It's just a package.

Here. This will have all the files and registry settings needed. Make sure to edit the RGU accordingly.

Could you tell me where that file would be? How do I change it?

[CuteD34th]

It's in the Windows folder on your phone. It's called "welcomehead.96.png"
It's a picture file that measures 240x320 and is saved in the .png format.
Change it as you see fit and then drop it back in the windows folder using a app like total commander (File explorer doesn't work as it doesn't have write permission in the windows folder. If you run windows XP I think you can just drop it in the folder from your pc, I'm not sure though, I just heard the rumour.)
Soft reset your phone and there you go.
Hope this helps!

You're not using JustClean are you? In JustClean, the animation dll's are not installed. (This only applies to JustClean, not Just2Clean.)

Thanks for the link! But what do I use to get the PrimarySplash.nb onto the phone? Do I use the "Replace the Artemis Splashscreen". I read threw this thread but couldnt figure it out. I DLed ttran001's two files and used them. But he says "This file will contain step on how to create a nbh file. Just follow the steps and only include your PrimarySplash.nb file and not the rom.
Then flash it as you would with a rom."

What do I use to flash my phone?

EDIT: Okay I see your version with a step 3 lol! Thanks skillzzz! I will give it another try.
EDIT 2: I did it but got an error message "The image file is corrupt. Please check you flash utility."
Whats that about? I read somthing in this thread about Netframe 2.0....I'm on XP SP3 (SP3 came out a few days ago I think and when I go to DL Netframe it tells me its not compatible with my previous version or something)
Thanks again for your help!
EDIT3: I downloaded NET frameworks 3.5 . I tried to flash my new splash screen but I got the same erroe message.

Gah! Okay I uninstalled all NET frameworks and reinstalled the 2.0 version and after I flash my new splashscreen I get the same erroe message "Image file is corrupt. Please check flash utility"

Some help meh plz

[ivanmmj]

You have to convert it into an nbh first. Leaving it as an nbh is fine if you're not planning on cooking it along with a cooked ROM.

I dont think you read my whole set of instructions as I simplified ivan's already easy process. And another question is your phone HardSPL ?

[Charlie Brown]

No... the phone is not hard spled. should it be just to change the splash screen? and I did follow the steps 1 to 4. the last step is where I save the the ruu to folder #4 then run the rom. am at work now but I will try again.

should my phone be hard spled?

No your phone doesn't need to be hardSpl. Go back to flash center, and instead of running the RomUpdateUtility.exe in the RUU folder, run the Herald-uspl.exe in the flash center file. You can only use the RUU folder alone if your phone is hardSPL, else you need to use the Herald-uspl.exe every time you want to flash something to your phone. (I think I already mentioned this in this thread though. :p)

Hope this helps.

good greef. sorry for my unmatched newbness. ill do that when I get home. thanks dudes!

23.) Type in your version of the rom, example: 4.10.0002. (Thats what I used)

There is no Herald-usp in the folder. I am using SKILLZZZ 4 step download. I even tried his spalsh screen and I get the same error message. Can someone post this "Herald-uspl.exe" so I can flash my wing?

My splash screen wont work in your phone ..... Read all the steps before you start .. I posted to you the step you arent paying attention to .

[ivanmmj]

Btw, make sure that you have an SPL and IPL of 4.0.0.0 or higher before you use USPL or HardSPL.

How can I find out which ROM version I have? I think from looking at the phone when I attempt to flash it and the screen goes red and green the set of numbers (i think it says IPL) is 4.10.0002 and the bottome set of numbers read 4.0000
Thanks

How do I make sure of that?

And if ever I wanted to remove the custom splash screen how do I take it off?

And sorry for all the questions.
Thanks for everyones help!!!!!!!!
Edit:
OKAY! I got it to work when I placed my final RUU_signed.nbh in the RUU folder of the HERALD-USPL (i searched and DLed this since my phone is not hard spl).
I have my splash screen working but I still get the T-Mobile screen and gingle after my splash screen. Also when I use HTC ROM tool and set Device as Herald I only get one "Splash" thats available to me unlike the other devices.
SKILLZZZ....do you still get the t-mobile screen and gingle? (by the way im from queens NY :)

No mate I have gotten rid of that a long time ago. I am in the bronx if you wanted to bring your cell thru ...

[N3xt2N0N3]

copy the file to your \Windows folder then use a reg editor to change the following key:

HKLM>Software>HTC>StartupAnimation and change the GIFFile target to point to your new file:

GIFFile = \windows\xxx.gif

i hope this helps people and i hope we have some creative looking splash screens now on hehe


*xxx = the name of your file

[mcdavey]

finally decided to give this a shot, pretty easy once i figured out i had to put in the full rom # im using.
