Nice work THX.
Yeah !!!!!
This is what I call splash screen :D:D

Thank you mate!

I wait you for a visit ;)
YW :)


will this change it permanently or it will be gone next time i flash rom?
Depends
If your next ROM will include its own boot splash - this splash will be overwritten by the new one.
If your next ROM will not include its own boot splash - obviously this splash will still be there.


FYI
You can't just "remove" or "uninstall" ROM files (and this splash is like ROM, for it stays in the phone's ROM memory and won't be deleted by any hard reset). The ROM addresses it resides at *have to* be rewritten with another boot splash, so make up your mind before you flash it to your phone! In other words, obviously, if you don't know what are you doing - just DON'T DO IT

(and no, I don't have original HTC boot splash for you, sorry, but I don't even have HTC Blackstone phone :D ).
/edit: i have received "smart mobility" nbh, so this is no longer correct (post #1 already updated)

Here you go download this & this would restore the original boot screen.

WARNING - FYI
You can't just "remove" or "uninstall" ROM files (and this splash - like any boot splash - is akin to ROM flashing, for it stays in the phone's ROM memory and won't be deleted by any hard reset, unlike startup splashes. Pls educate yourself about difference between boot splash and startup splash if you don't understand what I just said).
The ROM addresses it resides at *have to* be overwritten with another boot splash,
so make up your mind before you flash it to your phone!
In other words, obviously, if you don't know what are you doing - just DON'T DO IT

the picture here looks really good. i just tried, but this is just a picture, not a working screen like original splash that can display the radio, protocol, rom, it shows nothing there.

can you fix that?

I have no idea what do you want me to fix!

i just flashed new rom. this picture is gone. it went back to original smart mobility screen.
As I told you earlier - it depends (on whether new boot splash is included in the ROM or not).
Since you have new boot splash after flashing new ROM, it obviously means that the ROM you've flashed contained its own new boot splash (in this case original one).

if i update this rom to change to boot screen
when it asks if i want to confirm it says
current rom 1.14.405.3
update with 1.00.000.0 , will my rom stay excactly the same just changing the boot screen or will it actually lower my rom and make it not as good ?

Don't worry for that, the indication you are seeing are just related to the splash screen nbh image.
The ROM, RADIO, your documents, your personal settings and so on, will NOT be touched or modified during this process :)

As soon as you will flash it... you will see it!!!!!!
The radio, rom end protocol version are detected by the OS, not from the static image contained into the splash screen;) .

The infos appear ONTO the splash image:D
