you just have to run on pc with the usb cable plugged in, and then a soft reset, and everything will be ok...
What boot screen are you looking for? Or do you want to creat your own one?

well i had read the forum instructions and for change boot and welcom screen.
but something is wrong with the typho5. its suppose to extract nb 9200000 files but the application starts without extracting nobthing.
i would like to change the welcome screen from the PDAMobiz to some thing personal. i follow instruction but they dont fit the results i get.
any idea?
thanks to all
specially to the guys in PDAMobiz, who made the best of the best Rom
I want too to make a personal bootscreen...if someone can help us with a little tutorial, we are waiting..thx
Try this
The pdf manual in this thread has a section on updating boot screen and all the tools required to do it are included too.
I do not suggest everybody trys to get into the ROM cooking that is also described, but the splash screen section is fairly straitforward
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297027
first, with this tool you can create your own ROM (customized)...and also splash screens...see the manual pdf
welcomehead.96.png
well to make it easy to understand where we stand this is the only file we must change. but there is a problem. the original file is read only and can not be replaced nor rename or moved. not with total comander , not even unlock extended rom. after a small research i found that the file is integrated with in the original ROM not the extended.
so i am looking for a tool to delete/install files into the ROM when present on the device.
it sims that that cannot be done. we must dump the present rom, sort of cook it on our PC than re- install it with changes done.
at the same time since most of us are very happy with the ROM as is , but want to personal it littel bit, its worth a dedicated tool.
i will look into it. if i find a way i will post it here.
thanks for the great job of the PDAMobize last version .
good tool and very stable
You do not need to look into it!!!!
Read the previous two posts and look at the pdf manual in the download - it describes the tools you need to change you images (without cooking a complete rom)
And it doesnt need a hard reset either!

You do need to use a prophet nvid ruu program though

in that arhive from you does not have RUU_SPLASH.zip that we need (from that tutorial)
i've copied that file, nk.nbf in the RUU_SPLASH folder and then i've executed ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe and is not working...it tell's me EROR (300): INVALID UPDATE TOOL
This update utility cannot be used for you PDA Phone. Please get newer update utility.

If you have created your nk.nbf file, you can replace the one in this file (rename it to zip)
rename it back to exe and execute, it worked on my prophetG4 with WM6 on it
Btw, this is where I got the ability to cook my splash screen on my ROMs. You know the first bootscreen.
Here.
I don't speak Vietnamese, but it's pretty easy to figure out. If you don't understand me, tell me and I'll write a walkthrough. The pictures tell it all, though.
EDIT:
Things you need:
-Thay Doi_SplashScreen.
-NBH_Tool_v1.1.
-HTC_ROM_Tool.
Create a BMP or JPG that's 240x320.
Run Chạy Tool Replace SplashScreen.exe
Click Load Bitmap and choose your file.
Click Update Splash.
It will create the needed files where the BMP/JPG is currently stored.
Take the ruu_signed.nbh and use NBH_Tool_v1.1 to extract the PrimarySplash.nb that you can use with your ROM.
you should probably type it up anyway. hah
Thanks for the link, Ivan
Can someone upload the files, I cant read the site so I cant make a log in lol.

by the way, thanks so much for using Megaupload and Not Rapidshare. Megaupload is by far the best.
I'm nervous about doing this but here goes.
Just one question. I put the PrimarySplash.nb in splash box and not system box -- right?
Please advise.
thanks. (I just don't want to brick my phone.)
Got it -- worked. You are a Genius.
Okay I did what I thought and it worked great. Thanks again!!!!!

Haven't tested that, but it's probably for one of the other two startups. The first startup cannot be changed without flashing.

Be nice if you could tweak this. Says ROM by Tom Condron. Nice graffics though. Uninstalled.
tried it out, got the nb, converted to nbh, flashed with the loader that came with ivans clean rom, but it didnt work. Nothing happened. Any ideas?

did you make the picture that you want for the flash screen ? Did you download the easy how to as well ???
Ok I am no noob .. Maybe im too tired or I missed something somewhere in all of this. So let me ask all the dumb questions and hopefully you can make this a sticky clearly explained. Lets start will all the directions 1 by 1 and hopefully 1 of you geniuses can clean it up then hopefully make a sticky .....
A.) Download all files needed. (assistance is more than welcomed here)
B.) get the picture you want to use for your splash screen.
(**Instructions written by ttran001**)
1. Copy the image you would like to use into the image folder.
2. Open up the Step 1 folder and run the Replace SplashScreen.exe file.
3. Click on Load Bitmap from the newly opened menu (Replace Artemis SPlashScreen.
4. Click on the Update Splash button.
The PDA Phone ROM Update Utility 3.0.3.1 menu will pop up.
Leave it alone.
5. Go back to the image folder for step 1 and locate the RUU_signed.nbh file.
6. Copy the RUU_singed.nbh and place it into the RUU_signed folder.
7. Go back and close out both PDA Phone ROM Update Utility 3.0.3.1 and Replace Artemis SplashScreen.
8. Now go to the step 2 folder and double click on the nbhtool.exe.
9.This will open up Dutty's good NBH tool v1.1.
10. Click on the Decompile NBH file button.
11. Browse back to the RUU_singed folder and locate the new RUU_signed.nbh file.
12. Choose the same location or the one of your choosing to save the extract files.
13. Once completed it will extract a new file called PrimarySplash.nb, this is your new Splash replacement file.
OK we now have that part as easy as can be. Now the next parts for creating a nbh file.
Download and extract the HTC_ROM_Tool to your computer.
Double click on the htcrt.exe file to get started.
This new screen will popup.
Click on the Build! button.
On this screen click on the box under the Device: to select your device type.
Choose Herald
Type in your version of the rom, example: 4.10.531.3
Click on the box highlighted in red to choose your OS.nb file.
( Now where do we get this file from i would like that clarified and have it added to a download list for the sticky please.)
Click on the Build ROM botton.
This new screen will popup.
OK ... Now we have a nbh file... Now what would be the correct way of flashing this to a device. also the basic questions.
1.) Will this delete and or change my settings. ?
2.) What are the risks of flashing this way ?
3.) Does this work with HardSPL ?
4.) Does this work without HardSPL ?
5.) Must the picture be a bitmap ?
6.) Can I just use the ReplaceSplashScreen to just change the splash screen ?
7.) Does the program ReplaceSplashScreen work on wing before HardSPL or after or both ?
8.) Maybe im really tired how do I put pictures in this thread ... LOL ...
If I want to change the Windows Mobile splash also, do I change the name from "PrimarySplash" to "Secondary Splash"? or something? thanks.
As promised, here are Just2Clean's kitchen files. You will need to use either JustClean's EasyBakeOven or Bepe's kitchen in order to use them. Just download either of the kitchens, delete the OEM and SYS folders and replace them with these.
This does NOT include my micro Extended ROM, but if you've flashed my ROM, you already have it installed.
Linky It's the Working_Folder
sorry still kinda new to all this ROM cooking...
So this is a newer build of the OS?
I the just2clean kitchen you released I want to keep all those packages I have in there so all i have to do is add the files from this OEM folder to that one and replace the sys folder... am I right?
Thanks. I will try to cast some magic with this
(for personal use, of course )

This is not my newest build, this is the Just2Clean that I had already released. If you want to get a newer build, search for EasyPortOven 2.2 and use that to port over the ROM. It will change the ROM, though, as the SYS folder has been optimized. You'll learn more about this in one of my upcoming cooking lessons.

One of the packages you chose is probably not compatible with Just2Clean. To make it compatible, read the error and it will tell you. If a duplicate file is found, delete the extra file from the OEM folder or the SYS folder.
when i put the OEM and SYS folder from the Just2Clean in the working folder of the Kitchen, the Kitchen won't even start up.
- reinstall of VC -> no start up.
- mixing of old and new OEM and SYS -> no start up.
- using the old oem and sys -> all works great
Ghostrider
i cant choose any package and i'm using ONLY oem and sys from working folder.7z!
old kitchen works great but i cant use these files. same as GhostRider.

What do you mean by not start up. There are MANY files and batch files and programs that work together as a kitchen. You'll have to be more specific. Perhaps a screenshot of what happens.

You can't choose packages because the packages are all stored in the OEM folder. I forgot to mention that. Don't delete the OEM folder, just the folders in the OEM folder have the same name as the files in the other new OEM folder...
when I put the new files in the OEM and SYS Folder it say's BuildOS.exe don't work anymore, The Program has an Problem, and must be Closed.
Then the same with Buildxip.exe don't work anymore.
Ghostrider
That means that there's a conflicting name on an RGU, DSM, or inside an option.xml. If you do not go through BuildOS, Buildxip will crash because it will not have something to build in the first place, as it's BuildOS's job to get the files where they need to be.
i'm sorry but you are treating us (me and Ghostrider) like an idiots.. i'm quite sure that problem is with the package.
you write clearly "delete oem and sys and replace them" when i do this - same thing as on Ghostriders screenshots happens.

I'm sorry if I insulted you, but I don't see how I treated you like idiots.
All I've done is ask you questions to get a better idea of what's going on. It works on my end, but it doesn't on your end. I can't magically know what's going on without asking questions. I'm sorry if you felt insulted by my questions. It was never my intent. I just wanted to ask questions to find out why it wasn't working on your end so I could help fix it. I just rememebered something, too. Just before I packed it up I was messing around with something... look for the OEM packages that have both an UPX version and a non-UPX version. I THINK that one I uploaded may have one. If it does, one of the packages may have duplicate RGU's and DSM's. If it does, keep the one that starts with A and delete the pair that starts with Z. Also you can delete the UPX version of that package altogether. Tell me if that works.

I'm testing this now.
Ghostrider
Edit:
I have Just2Clean and MMS 3.5.1.24.R2 as UPX and non UPX deleting the UPX version did't do it. I deleted both the UPX and non UPX version in the Kitchen files for Just2Clean, and now it is working.
I don't have the Just2Clean Customization
Ghostrider
Great to hear!
There should be a Just2Clean customization there also. It's labeled "Customization - Just2Clean."
I think what he meant is that Just2Clean customization packages don't work.
I did as you suggested by deleting the .rgu and .dsm starting with Z, but that still didn't work.
The option XML file needed to be edited because it pointed to those Z files not the A files.
Not sure if just deleting the .dsm and .rgu starting with A would've worked because I didn't try that.
After deleting the UPXed packages everything works for me now.
I know that I've seen a post (either on this forum or the Diamond one) for removing the envelope in the email preview screen in TF3D. But I saw the post before I got my Fuze and now I really want to get rid of that envelope and can't find the post!
Does anyone else know where this info is or how to do it? I swear I have tried searching but I haven't been able to find it.
Try to un-enable TF3D first, then delete "hh_email_envelope_down.png" and "hh_email_envelope_up.png"

I would check the windows directory... dont quote me on it, but thats the first place i would check
And of course you will need some enhanced windows explorer like total commander or resco explorer to view hidden/system files and to modify rom-files.
file explorer shows all files just click menu 3rd from the top, Show All Files.
i dont think that will work - to my knowledge the built in file explorer won't let you touch files in ROM
Also if you delete these files wont they come back when you restart the device?

Kris, AFAIK you're right twice. But it could be possible replacing the original files with empty ones using Total Commander or some other advanced file explorer. Would be interesting what happens then (but not interesting enough for me to try it myself though )

Not everything of course but files which are stored in the ROM do. They can not be changed, deleted or what so ever but with an enhanced file explorer like total commander or resco explorer you can sort of "replace" those files with a modified version. But again. The original isn't really replaced. Your version will be stored in the RAM and "overrules" the file in the ROM. But if you later on decide to revert back to the original file you just have to delete your modified RAM-file and after a soft-reset the ROM file will be back/visible again.
yea in ROM i meant ...
and instead of replacing the files with an "empty file", it would prob be safer to replace them with a 1x1 totaly transparent png
Thanks for the help and advice but I can't find those files even with resco and total commander. Guess I'll keep searching for that original thread...

I flashed my HD2 to the newest official ROM and i discovered that it's not possible to rename and/or delete system files like manila files anymore!
Why is this??
With my old ROM i could rename manila files to *.bak and then delete them using Total commander but with the new ROM this isn't possible! I'm really desperate, I don't know what to do!
Could it be that HTC made the new firmware more secure?
Any solutions???
I found out that I can't copy my welcomehead to the windows folder anymore...it just wouldn't let me...
there has to be a registry entry somewhere, just can't find it at the moment.

I dont have the phone yet or WM6.5 so I cant comment too much but you could try reflashing the rom and see how that affects things. Did you flash the rom using a gold card or just update an official rom?

Rename your new welcomehead from welcomehead.192 to welcomehead.193 and copy it into the windows folder. Then use the Advanced Configuration Tool 3.3 (it needs MS Framework 3.5 to be installed to work) and go to Splash Screen. There you have to click the first green entry and change the path from windows/welcomehead.192.png to windows/welcomehead.193.png. Then Softreset. Now you have a new welcomehead, even with new ROM. Have fun!

Make it the way i told you, you don't have to change something in the windows folder to have a new startup screen.
^I did it and it worked great. thanks
But there are some other issues...for example if you want to enable navi panel or hidden games you need to copy some files into the start menu folder but that is not possible because the ROM won't let you.
any solution for the others?
