Hi All
Hope this hasnt been asked before but i have looked and cant find anything about this. I have developed a ROM which i am testing at the moment and i am wanting to replace the "windows 6.1" green splash Screen with a custom one. Which tools do i need to do this?
thanks
Have you tried this thread by pof?

Not read much into it, so I might be miles off.
Ta,

And this one.

The search function at XDA works great.
Thanks for your reply. I have tried the splash tool but this changes the initial boot screen rather than the second boot screen with "windows mobile 6.1" on it. anyone know how i can change this?

Thanks Google !
I think you might be talking about the welcomehead96.png file in Windows - that's the green Windows 6.1 screen. Just find it in your kitchen and replace it with another 320x320 png file.
Edit: Not meaning to be harsh Lindsaydr, but I've seen a few threads started by you recently where the answer was fairly readily accessible in the forum (and you PMed me a question because I didn't answer within 45 minutes on my thread). You've got 51 posts (at the moment) and have started 12 threads all asking questions where the answer already existed. I know we all want answers as quickly as possible, but if people get sick of doing your searching for you, you will find they're not willing to help you when you run into a problem that hasn't got an answer already. Like I said, not meaning to have a go, please take this in the spirit of friendly advice as it was typed.

Has anyine managed to do a ROM like the new HTC Touch PDA? Would this work on my XDA Exec? Or can someone help me put the iphone theme on my XDA.
Thanks
Come on, at least look on the same page before you ask questions. The same thin's being asked further down.
Basic answer is tough luck for now, nobody has made VGA versions of either.

Thanks alot bulldog.
AJ Im very new to this forum so please excuse me, if someone else has posted the same question. It would be nice if u were to keep you comments civil.
Oh I'm so sorry, I had no idea being new somewhere means you are unable to read the other questions posted on the very same page.
I'll bear this in mind from now on.
Thanks to enlightening me to this terrible affliction that must strike users with less than several days, or posts on their profile.
now now ladies, back to your corners.
can somebody please tell me how to get touch flo3d on this, all i can see is the windows mob 6.1, i have no idea what to do ahh
I'd just flash a different ROM. It'll likely be better than the stock ROM you have now and it'll have TouchFlo3D installed if you pick a ROM with it built in.

I can tell you.....
1st , you posted the same vague question on at least 2 forums. This one is a little better.
2nd. You need to read the sticky's at the top of the forums. All the answers should be there.
3rd. Use the search.
If you can't seem to get it working then maybe someone else will spend some time to help. But if you spend 30sec describing your issue and goto lunch.......................................then I'll do the same for you....

Screen issue after flashing
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I need help, please. I've just flashed ITsPapaFinal rom on my herald.
Everything went smoothly but my herald has a broken screen so i can not align the screen when i'm asked after the succesfull flash.
What can i do?
Do i have to flash another rom that won't ask me to align screen? My screen is no good at all.
Please, I'm phoneless right now!!!...help
Thanks a lot
The reason we discourage posting here is that it displaces actual development threads into the second page and away from the newer people. That and almost 99.99999999999% of the questions that people ask have already been answered 10-100 times but most people don't actually search for the answer first.
To answer your question, since there's no actual answer, I'm gonna take an educated guess with all the information we have:
1. You can't bypass the alignment window.
2. All ROMs have the alignment window enabled by default.
Answer: The only way would be to make your own ROM with the preexisting alignment settings and a bypass for the alignment or port a Windows Mobile Standard ROM over to the Herald. If you don't know how to cook, then there is no real answer other than either learn to cook or see if any cook has to time to make a custom ROM for you (which is extremely time consuming.)
I'm sorry I don't have a better answer.
Thanks ivanmmj for your polite answer.
I knew this wasn't the proper place to post my concern but I needed help from some of you guys that really know these devices.
Anyway, my herald is useless right now thanks to my puppy that got his jaws over my phone...
New Screen
Could just get a new screen for the phone ebay has them for like 27 bucks and up. Then you would not have to worry about a custom build.
I have the solution
I dont have time to exsplain u now but i had the same problem an i wa able to do it with a program call "mymobier" it let u used your pc mouse to aligment.. i have couple of solutions also if u hard reset your ppc email me for the answers [email protected]
program correction
progra, correction google to MYMOBILER
You can replace the screen yourself in the htc Wing for around $50 (Google). I am not sure of the herald but i now they are similar, if not the same.
Hey guys, I am having a problem. My ATT Tilt is stuck on bootloader and will not load. I have flashed my ROM for the 5th time now and every time I turn off my device, it gets stuck on bootloader. I have used the HTC provided EXE Rom loader in their site. What can I do, please help.
I suppose when you post your question here is because you did read the wiki and the sticky threads about "how to flash", etc.
I suppose if you read those threads, you used the correct combination in radio, SPL, and ROM
So, if you did all those things, now you must only flash another ROM compatible with your SPL and Radio.
If you did not, then read those sticky threads and then try to unbrick your device. Then, try to write here what SPL, radio and ROM, etc. numbers appear on the boot screen so that somebody will tell you about taking the device to the technical service. (One thing I learned: no device gets stop on bootloader if everything inside it is in the correct combination)

If I were you, instead of starting a new clutter thread in ROM DEVELOPMENT. I might have used the search function and found this thread.
And if after trying everything in that thread, I would have then posted my question in the proper thread........but that is just me

How many ?'s like this do we need a day? Sticky @ the top of forum was placed there to be used, nearly 90% will be answered then the search in the corner of different variants to be used will more than definetly find you the place to be, may need a bit of persisitence but get there in there end and feel like you achieved something

So Sad Yet So True.
Take it easy
Hey hey take it easy. I have read and tried everything HardSPL, MTTY, everything found in stickies. Still nothing at all. wont boot.
Please follow the instructions in this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=423486
If they don't work, can you post the info requested on the wiki page in that thread and I'll take a look and see if there's anything else.
Dave
I'm sure there's a post related to this, but I haven't been able to locate the information.
I have an ATT Pure version of Topaz
My question is the icon (slider) bar on the phone has a blue background behind the icons and it wont go away. I'm new to making mods to the phone say is there a cab out there to chang this? and or if a file what do I do in order to add it into the phone and update this blue bar. I'd prefer it to be clear and allow my wallpaper to show through it.
Thanks for your time and help

Search for a transparant slider. Not so difficult...
Don't open a new thread for each question you have.

Koen-ronse, these forums are littered with you telling people to search for things. You can see that some people are noobies and don't yet know the terminology or even the language, but you persist. I have checked your posts and sure enough about 50% of these relate to you telling people off for not searching. Please stop it. I waste more of my time reading your unhelpful posts like this than those of other people.
Triton 360 - it is not the transparant SLIDER you need to find, it is the transparant CURTAINS. Depending on what Manila you have will depend on what you will need. Check your manila type in the settings tab of your touch flo. Then search for the right one for your phone. If your TouchFLO 3D number starts with 2.0, then you will be able to use the file attached here. You can of course try it anyway, but if you do, be sure to back-up first.

So you have also seen these two?

Thanks to all who don't use search and open directly a new thread, it is more difficult to find something for the searching people (like me), because you get a huge number of hits with irrelevant threads... Get it?
I don't want to demotivate but motivate to search and read. When you give directly a helping link, they stay doing it.
Seeing every time new opened threads from newbies with every time the same silly questions, that's very demotivating for us, the people who supposed to help you. And that's what you'r looking for here, somebody who wants to help you. We don't have to do it, but we like it because this forum is a bit like a hobby for us.
So, we can shoose, saying nothing more or trying to teach you how a forum works. I prefer the last thing... And if somebody like me (the bad one) point you in the right direction, it's not for beeing bad, but for getting a better usefull forum. You can see in my posthistory that it's really multiple times a day that new useless threads were opened...
Normally it's a work for the moderators, but they also have a live and can not be always here, because also them are doing this as a hobby. Be all glad that I don't be one of them or it was the same comment and also closing the thread directly.
I take some time for this post because I can quote him for futur use when I get comments again from not-readers, not-searchers, new-post-openers and silly-question-posters...
If you have really followed my posts, you know that I help a lot when the rules are followed a bit...
And do you know why I can help others? Because I read a lot...

I'm from Belgium. Here we speak Dutch, French and a bit German. Most of my English I've learned here and on the internet in general by reading and even now at the moment my online Google translator is opened... So no excuse for that...
But even with the exact words it's difficult to find the right thread or post if you're searching something. And that was not a problem about 2 years ago. That's started with all the new users now. It takes a little work, but if everybody does a little effort, this forum can be a strong instrument again...
Before htc was only buyed by people who were really interested. Now htc is a more commercial product. People buy it and thereafter they can not work with it. They are not interested, they just want that it works. So they don't read, don't search... They just want an instant solution or link for there problem... Result: 100's questions of the same type... It's really demotivating for people who love there device and want to learn and share knowledge here...
I really hope that mods can do something at that, but i'm afraid it's a hopeless situation. I'm allready happy if I can prevent somebody of opening a second useless thread, even the first one is allready one to much...

After reading that, you should understand...
Yawn, yawn - these are your opinions and I stand by my point that you don't help may people and you waste my time and that of others.

Thanks! mitsi, that did the trick.
Sorry Koen I was unware of what that object was called, so I was looking for "sliders" and not finding the information I was looking for.
Thanks again.
Interesting...
Couple members on this, Topaz XDA underforum, have behaviour like MODs or ADMIN, but them ARE DIDNT THAT...Why this members get mods job ??? You are "members" or "senior members"...dont "moderator" or "administrator"...And if dont will, or if dont know helping oder "younger" members or "newbies" , than please dont reply with "clevering"... But, if something isnt about forum rules, that make "clean" moderators...
Thanks and
