You can search in XDA in the section Ultimate.... But I believe it's like this: Via Resco Explorer you can find the file "welcomehead.192.png", it's in the "windows" section. This is the splash screen.
You have to replace it with an other picture that is even big 640 x 480.

Good luck!

Red face welcomehead.192.png readonly

Replacing will be a bit difficult, because it is placed at the ROM.

Well, try to replace it with your next ROM-Update.

...

Have fun.

If you browse or explore unsing activesync/wmdc you can easily replace the welcomehead file even though it is in rom

Default First Splash screen

The file you said to replace is the green windows mobile splash screen (the 2nd splash screen to display) I'd like to replace the very first picture which on my ameo is the T-mobile one any ideas? I used picture manager to view all the pictures in the windows folder as I can't seem to locate the Windows folder when connected to the PC.

The first splash screen is normaly part of the rom that doesnt show up in the filesystem.
Splash image uploaders have been made for other devices/os's but require technical knowledge of the system.
Its not a file delete/replace or anything.

You will have to wait untill one of the forum gods create a bootsplash uploader for the Athena.
