just tried you update, I'm not able anymore to change the splash.
The screen remains always to 'startup' or shutdown even if I try to go back.
Same issue here.

I select the picture I want, then when I press either "Startup" or "Shutdown" the phone just sits there. Back button does nothing, home button does take me back to home screen.

Note that I had changed these with the previous version and it worked fine. Also, the reason I tried to change them here is because once I installed the new version and ran it, my splash screen changed back to stock without me doing anything.

I haven't reinstalled the old version to see what happens because I really don't care that much, just thought I'd report this in case it's a symptom of other possible problems.

By the way, I have a Sprint ATIV S Neo, running the newest 8.1 DP update.

Splash screen changes when you update to 8.1 and the old version did not work on 8.1. I'll take a look on the issue maybe tomorrow. You could try creating a folder called WPHTweaks in your phone's internal storage (C:\Data\Users\Public\WPHTweaks) and try changing the splash again.

Manually creating the folder took care of the problem. I didn't have full file system access checked the first time I tried changing the splash screen, but had to turn it on to add the folder. Could this have been the problem?

You don't need full FS access for the folder, it's the one called Phone in Explorer without full FS access. But thanks, now I know where the problem is and the fix should be quick when I'm on my PC.

Creating that empty folder worked for me too (just tried changing the stock splashes with the ones given in wphtweaks) . So b50 release works now for this.
'Disable USB control Panel' still checks it again every time I reboot the phone, so no changes with this error for me.

I'm with 8.1 pfd with marass82 custom csc,
OS version: 8.10.12383.878
fw version : 2424.13.11.2 by WindowsMania.pl WP 8.1 PR


Note that I had changed these with the previous version and it worked fine. Also, the reason I tried to change them here is because once I installed the new version and ran it, my splash screen changed back to stock without me doing anything.
I managed to change the splashes with the older release as well as @fgr said.
Now (and even with the older release) I can't and couldn't change the startup one because - I think- I enabled the faster boot and so the system just sets the stock startup splash as default not letting me doing anything to change it.
But that's not the point, we solved the splash problem anyway.
Thanks a lot.

I have told you many times that you can't use the older version on WP8.1 to change splashes because it used to save the splash in the app isolated storage folder and the path was hardcoded to the WP8 app data path which changed on 8.1 update. The new version saves splashes in the folder I mentioned above, but the creation of that folder is failing now for some reason.

Dear Jessenic
First of all thank you for your work and helping. I believe in what you told me -many times- , you're the dev!
Not to contraddict you but just to let you know:

I would manage to change the splash with the penultimate release EVEN with the windows phone 8.1 Update.
Anyway I solved the b50's problem creating the new folder -as you adviced to do- and now I can change the shutdown splash EVEN with the b50 release (as I could before eh...!):cyclops:
My question about the 'faster boot' thing and the startup splash was just a 'curiosity' because I'm pretty sure I can't -and won't be albe to change anymore- my startup splash just because I enabled the fast boot
I was just talking about this and not about your b50 or b48 release - cause using the older or the newest version of it, for me, didn't make any difference.
I just wanted to signal the problem I encountered to you as the other users use to do.

Hi jessenic,

is it possible to "activate" cortana with a tweak in other countries like germany?

Thanks for your hard work!!!
Yeah, it's working. I have registry key but not tested it.

Code:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Speech\UXLanguages\Tokens\de-DE
"CortanaVoice" = sz:"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\SPEECH\CortanaVoices\Tokens\MSTTS_V110_enUS_KateM"
"CortanaVoiceGender"=dword:"1"
If you want to enable Cortana on other Languages as german, just replace de-DE with your language.
