Roger's ROM - anyone know how to disable the red "smartphone" banner ...the file is "Rogers_branding.gif" I would like to not change it, but disable it completely. Also the startup/shutdown screens - can they be disabled, not edited?

You'd have to go into Registry and search for Rogers_branding.gif and delete all the values for the keys. Do NOT delete the keys. Just the values. Then it will disappear.

Go to and change/create:

HKLM/System/Shutdown - 1 - values --> value name: Splash --> value data: \Windows\HTC_LogoImg_320x240.bmp

HKLM\System\Startup - 1 - values --> DWORD with value name: Duration - value data: 1000
STRING with value name: Splash - value data: \Windows\ms_splash.pnq

You can not edit a string or dword. So you have to delete and create!

Copie ms_splash.png to your windows folder. (change jpg into pnq)

- change the regkey: hklm\software\microsoft\shell\rai\msbranding values bannerimage value name in "none"
- change the regkey: hklm\software\microsoft\shell\rai\mscdial values bannerimage value name in "none"


Restart and your phone and startup and shutdown are like the HTC roms and all the Roger branding is gone..

Instead of deleting and creating strings you can just change the strings under these keys:

HKLM\Software\HTC\Startup\
HKLM\Software\HTC\Shutdown\

The keys here are used by the dll, so you don't really need to change anything else for the startup/shutdown...

Yes. I'm pretty sure it has to be .gif though.
