Raphael / Fuze Boot Splash Screens [Fake BIOS / Post Screen]

After upgrading to my Raphael from the Kaiser, I was unable to use the fantastic boot images created by -888-
(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=421572)
However, these images became my inspiration and actually what I based my version on.
I treat my phone like a computer, shouldn't it look like one?
After a tireless amount of work and an amazing amount of help from both Cmonex and Olipro I give you a completed Raphael fake boot bios / post screen!

You must have HardSPL on your device to flash the ROM Splash Screen
CDMA USERS BEWARE - BRICK
There seems to be some issues with compatibility with CDMA devices and the boot splash. All other graphics work fine, I will look into the issue and hopefully find a solution.
As for GSM users, all is well.
If you have HardSPL, do not worry then, as this will not hard reset your device.


With a combination of the :
The ROM Splash screen - BootSplash.nbh - which will need to be flashed to the device with RaphaelCustomRUU.exe flasher (included)
[Both files attached below in Flashall.zip]
Start Up Animation screen - animated.gif which will need to be copied to your Windows directory on your device
Either overwrite the current one there or rename mine to Animated2.gif and direct to this with Advanced Config under the HTC Animation pull down.
Start Up Microsoft and carrier splash - welcomehead.192.png - which I have created 2 different versions.
Either overwrite the current one there or rename mine to welcomehead.190.png and direct to this with Advanced Config under the SplashScreen pulldown.
one can achieve a nearly seamless realistic boot up, resembling a normal computer.

Rom Splash Screen (bootsplash.nbh)


Start Up Animation (animated.gif)
(This is made not to loop, so it will only display once in your browser, press Ctrl + F5 to check it out again)

Or go here http://img114.imageshack.us/img114/807/animatedyo8.gif and press Ctrl + F5

Start Up MS / Carrier Splash (welcomehead.192.png)
Version A shows initialization of hardware

Version B shows simple blank screen with continuous top

Version C - Same as A just with the 2nd Cmos camera taken off. This is if you have a fuze.

If you purchased the Fuze with no cameras... well then... why?

Download

Thank you dharvey4651 and K-Semler for graciously creating multiple CABs

After the files are in /windows by either copying or installing through provided CABs
flash the Bootsplash by syncing device through active sync and running the RaphaelCustomRUU.exe



I have spent quite a bit of time on this and I hope you all like them.

Any comments, suggestions and most importantly errors, please feel free to post them!
I hope to edit these and make them perfect.

Notes:
I realize that by the time my Postscreen says the services are loaded, they have long since loaded, however this is all just for fun and appearances.

Bugs:
If you experience any choppy animation, try changing your gif speed. With either Advanced Config under the HTC Animation pull down or registry editor under HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCAnimation\. Try ranging the number around, 50, 75, 100.
Seems to strangely vary by the rom. I personally run gif speed 75, however I am told 100 is a good number for ROMeOS.

+1 for this as well. i wouldn't think you need a hard reset, as you said... but a shame if you need to!

congrats for this... wished it did show all those things as true...

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

Do not worry, it wont hard reset your device. It will simply overwrite the splash [the image shown when you first turn on your phone] currently on your device.

Thanks for all the nice words, I'm glad you all like it.



Thanks again to Olipro and Cmonex for the help in its creation.

A common false positive generated by antivirus programs.
Compare results with http://www.virustotal.com/

It is documented that antivirus programs do not seem to like the RUU.exe, however it is perfectly fine.

Thank you dharvey4651
I had planned to try and figure out how to make a CAB for this eventually but you saved me some work.

CAB installer added to first post.

Ah, sorry about that, I never did get around to making a fuze version of that. Ironically, I have a fuze
I've attached the fuze version and added it to the first post.

As for why I went with 6.0, that was simply an arbitrary number to be honest. I did not even make the mental connection with wm6. As for the year, that was based on the creation of HTC.
