after extracting the rom with core pro, in the extract/splash folder i got 2 files. 9d000000-HTC.nb and 92000000-Splash.nb. can i use any of this to create my own custom splash screen? and can someone tell me the different btwn the two files.
9d000000-HTC.nb is the first splash screen (eg HTC) and 92000000-Splash.nb is the second splash screen (the one before welcome to windows). Both of the image files you see can be used to create your own splash screens for your rom.
The Molski devpack details how to do this. Thequinoxe wrote a detailed tut as well.
This is also written in the wiki.

Hello,
Im working on my first rom. I wanted to start with a clean slate so I got the latest vanilla wm6 rom i could find "HTC_Wizard_WM6_15342.rar" and downloaded core pro from the thread in here. After changing the hex equiv of D.e.v.A.u.th to A.u.t.h.D.e.v in "80040000-OS.nb" I was able to boot the extracted and rebuilt clean rom with no device id authentication failure errors
My problem is that any packages I add to OEM/SYS in the kitchen don't seem to do anything, that is, they don't show up in the final product even though i see them rollin by in BuildOS, also only the second splash screen is installing . When I get everything moved to "C:\Core\Kitchen", i add some of the premade packages from
"C:\Core\PACKS\OEM" and "C:\Core\PACKS\OEMAddonsForKitchenV2" to the rom folder at "C:\Core\Kitchen\OEM". At this point I run "1. Splash1.bat" and "2. Splash2.bat" to produce my splash screens. I then run "C:\Core\Panel\Build\BuildOS" and "nb2nbf_wizard". in nb2nbf, I add details and then add files in this order
File 1: 9d000000-HTC.nb 92000000 "Splash Screen" 65536
File 2: 92000000-Splash.nb 92000000 "Splash Screen" 196608
File 3: 80040000-OS.nb 80040000 "OS" 59768832
From there its "3. Move nk.nbf to RUU" and "RUU Folder" etc..
Rom installs clean, but my HTC splash screen is always the one from a previous rom install whether i do Faria or xdar2 or any others. the second splash screen goes in fine. When it boots though, none of the applications are in programs or in windows dir or anywhere else. From the looks of it the packages are done correctly they just dont seem to be making it to the final rom? Is there a step im missing? Ive tried going the options.xml route but it seems to be doing the same thing. I cant even add a package to Farias rom and have it show up, so i feel like im maybe missing a vital step here.
Im a newber at this so id appreciate any experience or insight, (Ive been burning way too much time on this as it is)
Thanks
*EDIT*
Fixed first splash screen
File 1: 9d000000-HTC.nb 92000000 "Splash Screen" 65536
-->
File 1: 9d000000-HTC.nb 9d000000 "Splash Screen" 65536
Not sure why your packages aren't installing, but I can tell you why your first splash screen isn't. When your running the nbtonbf tool and you choose the htclogo, don't choose splashscreen from the drop down menu. Type HTC Logo in to that one in the empty space and in the address space just to the left of it type in 9D000000. After that your first splash screen will get added to the ROM.
THANKS, Ok I got the first splash screen going, and I think i may have figured out what my problem is with the packages.. but im a little stumped on how to solve it,
I was choosing my OS("80040000-OS.nb") from nb2nbf out of the folder "C:\Core\Kitchen\ROM" rather than
"C:\Core\Kitchen\ROM\temp".. but now when i install i get first and second splash screen but i get a big ol Device auth failure!... When I open 80040000-OS.nb in the hex editor I cant find the string from before as Authdev or devauth?!. Has anyone seen this? im a little lost
hmm, is this normal?...I tried running it without the initial hex edit (i waited till right after i ran build OS). Using winhex, I open up "C:\Core\Kitchen\temp\80040000-OS.nb". I search for "devauth" nothing... "dev" returns 1 result from the word "Device" but there is nothing else, hex editor isn't showing anything. Is BuildOS or any other tool trying to remove security or do anything besides compress that would mke the hex view of ...-OS.nb so different in temp folder?
original .nb size = 57.0 MB
BuildOS generated .nb size = 48.5 MB
any thoughts.. questions.. pointers?

Hi pof.
This is a great idea and I thank you for the instructions but I got to #6 and am so new to ROM building(virgin, in fact ) that I must ask....
In the htc rom tool do I leave all fields blank except for the splash screen entry? And where do I enter that? I assume that I type splash.nb into the splash1 field.
Else, do I fill in all of the fields such as country ID, version, IPL?
many thanks.
karlo
one more question. does this flash delete my current tytn's settings (do i need to flash splash screens after hard reset or anytime)?
re
Is there a way to make a .cab file to change the bootsplash image? Also i see some custom roms have a 3d intro (maybe flash?) how would i go about doing this?
Thanks
thanks a lot man
To change Splash Boot screen, made a picture 320x320 pixel 96dpi save it in .png and rename in welcomehead.96.png
Use Resco Explorer, copy, paste and replace the welcomehead.96.png in folder Windows, make a soft reset.
So, this will be the correct tool to use to format images for the Titan?

Great Idea mate we should start a thread based on all custom splash screens who knows the cooks might even used some of them soon.

How do you run bmp converter? Not work for me!
I get 240 file eroor when trying to flash it to my tytn2.
Optical Illusion Splash Screens
Some optical illusions:
Animated?
Since the image is in .png format is it safe to assume that we can NOT load an animated splash screen??.. Also does flashing via the steps in the first post accomplishes the same as replacing the welcomhead.96.png manually??
Thank you..
jadehawk: you are correct that the welcomehead.96.png is non-animated, if you create an animated .gif and rename it to .png it may work in some programs that read inside the file for the relevant code to know how to display it but most programs including the wm6 bootup hook will not display it how it should so don't bother
Just to clarify that the original post by pof is "THE ONLY WAY" at present to replace the splash screen on initial boot of the phone, the welcomehead.96.png usage is on windows boot (some people have a 3rd animated .gif in between the 2, but this doesn't work on all models even with the registry entries in place, i have tried on my T-Mobile).
hope that helps.
Russ
Thank you
Great thank you for clearing that out.. for now I am just happy replacing the animated.gif file in the windows folder with something other than the HTC animated one.. I have tried to make my own ROM using the kaiser kitchen but so far It has never worked at least not like the really simple tutorials I have found here.. still waiting for a better tutorial with screenshots and all.. so far i will stick with the ones I get from here and use the sprite backup to restore the applications I want loaded in the ROM.. thank you

anyone care to share their customize splash screen?
Hello. I downloaded some kitchens to merge the good sides of them and have my ROM. I want to use one ROM's core and another's splash screen. But i was not able to find which file in the kitchens is responsible from splash screens and how to change it. Can anyone help me about it?
I also would appreciate some hints on this.
I know that there is a Helmi? Midget? post about splash screen , but i didn't have the time to do it yet...

Hi there,
anyone knows how to change the 1st splash scrren ???
(not the second one which is easy by copy the animated.gif to windows directory)
thanks
It's a part of the ROM. You have to flash it to change it.
but how can I make it on my own? or any good Splash rom made by someone for Polaris?
check the link in my signature (polaris chef corner). you have links to two different tools in post #1. (look for customiza splash screen)

I am trying to compile new rom for i637 out of original AT&T 6.5 rom, Telcel Mexico 6.5 rom and Chinese ROM. There are few things i'm interested in changing and I was wondering what can i find in eboot.eb0, pda.pda and phone.bin files. What do they do. What do they contain. WHAT IS WHAT?
Since someone wrote that in csc file there's language and keyboard and stuff I wanted to flash the phone with mexican pda file but with us csc so the keyboard won't get changed.
Can anyone please help me figure this out. Is there a way for me to extract csc from official AT&T updater.exe?
If anyone can explain it to me please keep it simple and clear cause it's my first attempt.
Thank you
Edit: Can you please tell me how to extract fiiles from AT&T updater. It's called MSM7X00 Unified Downloader.

I have a similar question.
I was wondering if there is a possibility that any of the files used to flash the BenQ E72 could contain the Splash image that comes when you turn on the phone...
I'm using Windows Phone 6.5 on my E72, but everytime I turn on the phone I see tha old Windows Phone 6.0 splash image...
That picture is not inside my Rom, so I guess it must be located in one of the files used to flash the device... I'm attaching these files to see see if someone more knowledgeable can tell me if there is an image within those files! Thanks!!
can anyone help me? I'm sure somebody knows...c'mon brainiacs

that file is in your ROM, but not as a .jpeg or some picture file.. There is a registry key that directs to a .dll file which contains the Splash Logo!
If you want to change the Splash Logo for any custom one, take a look in here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=769651
This is a Mortscript based Program
- Menu GridView to ListView
- Menu ListView to GridView
- Hide Menu Labels
- Show Menu Labels
- Change Startup Splash Logo
- Change Shutdown Splash Logo
- You can use any JPEG file with a 320x240 resolution
- You can also use the files in the \Windows directory, permission doesn't make sense (hidden, read only, archive)
In order to use it, you must download Mortscript: the link is in the same thread!

If you want to cook again with the right Splash Logo, use this resource:
You can only use a .jpg picture with a 320x240 (only for QVGA) resolution.
Place the file in \Application Data\Home\Your Custom File Name).jpg
Go to this path:
in HKLM\system\startup\1\
delete or backup STRING "DLL" Value "doani_Samsung.dll" (if any - found on remora)
create a new STRING with title "Splash" with VALUE "Application Data\Home\(Your Custom File Name).jpg"
in HKLM\System\Shutdown\1\
delete STRING "DLL" VALUE "doani_Samsung.dll" (if any)
create new STRING with Title "Splash" and Value "Application Data\Home\(Your Custom File Name).jpg"
I've tried all those things long time ago...So I say that the splash image may be contained in one of the files attached, so I'm asking if anyone can help me with that issue please
The old Windows Phone 6.0 image splash appears when I power on the phone...Then appears the Windows Phone 6.5 image splash...As I said before, that picture is not contained in my rom, dll file, etc
