Help me with Splash screens!

[spodg]

Hello!

I am trying to create *.nbh file that will flash only splash screens and animation without touching my rom and anything else. Just splash screens.

I would like to hear from someone a brief instruction on how to go from bmp/png/gif files to short nbh file that will simply flash my splash screens and boot animation.

The reason I am asking is because some custom ROMS contain splashscreens that I don't like.

I am on Verizon and having XV6900. Current ROM is NFSFAN's V6 WM6.5
Thank you in advance.

Copy/paste from my answer to you at PPCGeeks LOL

Your not going to just flash boot splash screens - a flash is a flash and it will overwrite your ROM on your phone


two ways to do what your trying to do

1) cook your own ROM - integrating the splash you want to use (its built into most kitchens)

2) search for an app that will let you replace the splash screen on your phone - its there, I dont remember the name though but its there

Would you be so kind to remember what the name of the application that allowing to change splashscreens? I've seen nbimg.exe, but it only converts bmp to nb. That's not quite nbh.

If that's too difficult maybe you will help me out on how to cook my own ROM using nfsfan's rom as a base?

I downloaded PPC Kitchen and its kinda tedious program to figure out in intuitive manner. However I noticed there's possibility to add splashscreens. Which is good.

Theres lots of threads on Kitchen how-tos - I dont cook that often so I am not a reliable source for Kitchen info
As for NFSFANs ROM as a base, you better ask him first, last I know he like many others lock their ROMs

And I just dont remember it, if I get some time tonight I will do a search and see what I can find ...

Found two items that may help - of course its based on what and if a splash screen was cooked into the ROM to start with - seems it isnt needed to be

patchsplash.zip - not sure where it is just read up on it in a Diamond thread

and


In a registry editor, go to:

Changing the boot picture/sound:
HKLM/Software/HTC/HTCAnimation (startup animation and sound)
and
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Splash Screen (after the splash screen used)

Hope that helps

Yeah I changed mine in Advanced Config. Just take the .gif that you want to use and copy it to the /Windows folder. In System Tools> Advanced Config, go to HTC Animation

Change the "Startup GIF File" to point to your file. Hit done and let it soft reset. Upon reset, you'll see your new animation.

Okie doke! Thanks guys for your responses. Its clear with animation now. I'll dig a little bit more about actual splash screens.

Hey check out post number 5 in this thread, might be what you are looking for. I used it to flash just the the boot (first two) screens w/o flashing an entire new ROM.
