Hi Guys,
I am using HTC 8900 (AT & T) Unlocked phone and I wish to change the Welcome screen from AT & T to HTC or else something of my choice. Please advice me and let me know if i have posted in wrong blog.
Regards,
Siddh
Hi there
You can use Advanced Config to change the welcome screen.
Prepare your desired pic e.g 240X320 PNG format then your AC to change.
Hi,
I have searched a lot on this issue, and would like to share what I have learned.
There are two types of opening screen in our device. One is generally called the boot screen and the second one is called splash screen.
The boot screen is the one you see first when you boot up the device This screen comes inside the ROM you load to your device and not very easy to change afterwards! This screen is generally the rom's builder's own signature. There are some programs to change this screen afterwards for some other HTC phones, like for hermes, but no program has been made yet for Kaiser. So the only way to change this image is to replace your own image to the .nbh file before installing a new rom to your device.
The second screen is called splash screen and there are some programs to change this image. In fact it's an image file under windows directory. However, in my opinion it does nothing but delays the boot period, and useless. I believe there should be only one opening screen.

Hmmm... and you say you did alot of research on this??
Actually there are 3 screens when booting up the kaiser.. The splash screen (1st screen) is very easy to change after flashing a Rom. Tools have been made specifically for this purpose for the Kaiser and I have attached all programs needed plus instructions on how to do it in this post. I believe this is the screen you wish to change as each chef usually includes his/her own custom splash screen.
If you dont want to make your own splash screen then some of the member download sites include splash screens that are ready to use in the correct .nbh format (P1Taters Download Site has alot of splash screen files + animated and boot screen files to use).
The 2nd screen is the animated.gif file in the windows folder which can simply be changed, as can the 3rd screen (boot or welcome screen) in the windows folder which is called welcomehead.96.png but this 3rd screen isnt really needed and is disabled by some chefs to speed up boot times.
Thanks for these long and clear explanations. It seems my research took me to a wrong way thanks very much for correcting me.
I am starting to try this solution right ahead.
Regards.

4th splash screen
Hello,
Although i admire and respect all the information found here, i'm facing a challenge with my splash screens, that goes in a totally diferent way than what i found here.
I flashed my kaiser with the December HyperDragon Rom, hopping to get rid of all the signals of the Portuguese service provider that sold the equipament.
Everithing went normal until i restarted the device. At this point i found that i had 4 splash screens (yes, its strange but its true).
When restarting i see first the HyperDragon splash. After that i'm keeping (against my willa TMN (portuguese carrier) screen that is on while presenting the radio/protocol info. After this i see the HTC splash, and finnaly WM6.1 splash.
I've already reported this strange event to Mr. Sakajati, but i'm still missing in posting a video of the sequence.
Lets see if someone has ever faced a similar situation and can give me some info.
Thanks

You could try flashing a Stock WM6.1 Rom which should wipe all traces of any other service provider screen, then after you are down to the 3 main screens you should have no problem updating to a custom Rom.
so i made my own welcomehead in photoshop but i cant force it into the windows folder because it is rom. ive tried file explorer and resco explorer.

Try copying it across via activesync with your pc. You might need to take off the read only attributes before you can overwrite it.

help me guys.
If anything is there after a hard reset it must be in \Storage
change your splash-screen
Your splash screen isn't stored in storage. On my magician eg it is a separate part of the rom. You managed to change it once & I'm sure you can do the trick again. Just search the ftp for the cab which will flash your splash. If you kept a copy on your PC it's even more simple. And next time use an image that doesn't make you so embarrassed when you wanna sell your device
M
i have lost the cab file...
OK, how to ditch your t.ts.
Found this for u, at the magician upgrading etc. forum:

Maybe it's just me, but I've read this post here and at Howardforums and I'm clearly missing something.
I've only ever used the nb_image_converter_859_418.exe to convert "any" bmp to the Splash2.NB file.
Then I drop that into my Windows Folder and use MDA3_bootimage_changer2.cab to apply the file. (Yes I'm using a Magician with this file!)
Soft reset and that's that. No need to do any cab file editing.
Cheers
Howard

I wanted to get a thread dedicated to getting the applications out of the Touch .nb, and into the Wizard - and specifically the "cube" and "touch" functionality that is the trademark of the new phone.
Please save "oh, I'd like" or "oh, wow" stuff for other threads - this is a dev discussion.
Criteria: Working discussions on what's been done, what are we doing, and what could be done to get the excellent new features to work.
I hope that by sharing information - we can key in on the results much faster then everyone working on their own.

Here's what I've tried so far:
Using the 1413 as a base, I've taken and replaced the OEM folders from the touch build and replaced the 1413 folders -completly. This resulted in the phone self power cycling at the 3rd splash screen.
I've also taken the entire touch build, replaced the ROM contents with the one from 1413 (and I might have replaced the /SYS/OS folder as well - going off memory). This was the most successful, as I was able to boot the phone and get a lot of the touch's functionality. Issues were: SID Lock error, no "touch" function, and button mapping was wrong - only button 1 showed up on settings - buttons.
More info (a little)
Well, to follow up on my note in the other thread. I did pretty much what you did and ended up in the same place.
I did discover that the two other "raw" files in the original leak contained xip contents. I'm not sure why there are two of them, and they contain similar contents. I ran a build using the one I've labeled xip1 and it gave an error about missing build.rgu in buildos. I then ran a build using the one I labeled xip here (which has a build.rgu) and it built and booted, but worked essentially the same as when using an older wizard xip.
Anyway, time for bed now.
PS I tried to upload a zip of the two xip sections but it failed. Forum maintenance I suppose. Maybe I'll try again tomorrow if anyone seems interested.
Edit: Tried again to upload, failed.
I think we should start by the Dial Pad... I think it will be the easy thing to do.
Check this Hermes Rom:
http://wmblack.info/
and this:
http://www.4winmobile.com/forums/hermes-black-rom-support/9792-released-black-iv-shadow.html
Why not port the entire ROM ?
Just a thought.
BTW, from what I know, in order to make it work, you will have to use the XIP from the Wizard, not the one from Touch.
I have some work now...but i will try and do that bit later...today or tomorrow.

I also thought this... But now we have an official build from ms... I think it is a bit more stable than a ported version (if i'm wrong, please correct me).
@joaosousa:
I tried to port the Dialpad yesterday... But it seemed that I missed some needed files/registry hacks.... Still trying.

I also think we should keep the official build from ms... It's very stable...
any luck with touch dialer skin?
In all seriousness... the Today plug-ins for the HTC touch are fricking ugly.
Anything new in here?

For those who want to play...
OK, for those who want to play with the Touch Rom, here's a rapidshare link to download a "working" nk.nbf. I've also included total commander, and a registry editor for those who might want to tinker with getting things to work.
The main issues are these:
1) Pull the sim card before flashing, or you won't be able to to get to the today screen.
2) Since the elf is only a one button machine, most of the buttons do nothing, including the power button. You'll have to take out the battery to turn it off. (Unless you can figure out the registry changes needed to make it work.)
3) Don't worry about setting your timezone in the initial screen. You can set it later from the settings menu.
4) Be ready to flash back from bootloader mode when you're done exploring!
5) I pulled adobe acrobat, catalog, autoupdate. Everything else is pretty much stock. So you can get a feel for what's included, and what you might want to pull for use in the Wizard!
This is OS only.
Have fun!
Rapidshare Link: http://rapidshare.com/files/36574080/TouchROM-nk.nbf.rar
Here's a question to those who have tried it so far: has anyone seen it working, or know which application controls the 'cube' function? Is it the biotouch app?

what do you mean of working nbf, did you mean it is Touch fully rom, or mixed with wizard rom??

Yes, understood. I think the fact that it works just as well with either XIP just shows how similar the two machines actually are. Either that, or whoever "leaked" the rom included an appropriate XIP on purpose.

Fully Touch Rom. But it has been restructured to fit inside the partition settings of the Wizard.

The SYS and OEM folders from Touch, the ROM folder from 1413 (going off assumption here - correct me if I'm wrong )
Okay,
I have had my wizard for about a year now and in that time have flashed countless ROMs without any major problems, but yesterday I came as close as I ever have to bricking my device, and the crazy thing is that I have no idea why. I am hoping that the "real men of genius" here can help me figure out what the freak happened, or specifically what I probably did wrong
Before anyone asks, yes my phone is SIM and CID unlocked and it is a G3.
I recently moved from Core 2.0n to mfrazzz XDA Mobile 6. I really liked it but with mattr_k's easy kitchen and stripped down base I figured I could play with it a little to get some more of the apps and settings I like in it from the get go, and save the space without the ones I don't. I had been playing around with the core kitchen and the first kitchen mattk_r upped so I had a pretty good idea of what to do.
here is what happened as best as I can remember ( I should have taken notes as it was happening but I was too freaked out!)
I created the OEM directory and copied the reg tweaks and packages that I wanted from Pandora's Box (v2). I ran Build OS and selected all and it completed without problem. I ran createROM.bat and no problems there. I went into flashing, built the nbf and flashed. The flash went fine with no hang ups.
When the device restarted after flashing it went to the first splash screen and then stayed white. I left it this way for 10 minutes and then it was still like this I tried a soft reset. It reset fine but stayed white. I then tried flashing back to the original mfrazzz ROM but when it got to 95% the flash tool errored out and closed. The phone was stuck with the progress bar at 95%.
I freaked out a little and then rembered that I still had a copy of wizard love on this computer so I put it in bootloader mode and then flashed that. That got the phone back up. I then tried reflashing my "cooked" ROM. It loaded this time, but the today screen was a white background and some of the today plugins were extremely distorted and it just wasn't right.
I reflashed wizard love, and then reflashed the mfrazzz's original XDA Mobile. My phone is now fine.
Any ideas on what the heck happened.
Just guessing here....did you messed with the splash screens ?

You almost wrote a book about this ;P
The day when my device amost brick by dcdivenut
"..Was raining on this night and my device stop to work.."
hehe only joking
When you built the nk.nbf file, did you build in a splash screen or htc_logo? Or did you only build the OS into the file? If you built a splash screen, you have to verify the file sizes. htc_logo has to be exactly 64K, and the splash screen has to be 196608 bytes in size. If these are off, you will have hangs and stuff.
If you only did the OS, what is the size of your nk.nbf? If its too big it wouldn't have flashed.
BTW: Welcome to the world of rom cooking... I've scared myself a few times
ouch - been there a few times myself - but usually 'cause I was really hacking the OS components, like compressing the files in the XIP or OS directory.
If you mixed a Pandora kitchen with another OEM folder (or visa-vera), you might have left out critical components from the OEMAPPS/OEMDRIVERS, etc, Default and Langdb folders. I moved them to the SYS folder to allow more "generic" OEM package contents.
You might start with a complete base kitchen and work from there. Be wary of mixing - until you're very comfortable moving OS components - and can recognize critical pieces!

I did use only your base kitchen from the "stripped thread" and actually redownloaded the OEM package from the same post as well so I wouldn't mix packages. I guess I will give it another shot when I have the time to rescue it from the dead if need be!

If you're using the whole thing, just be sure to only enter WWE for language, and check only OS line box, point to the ../temp folder for the ...-OS.nb file, select OS from the drop down on the same line, and click the mouse in the address box so it will auto-fill, but don't change it.
I have added splash screens and extended roms in, but not in the kitchen, or any roms I post. I figure it adds too much completixy and liability for users.

I don't think I entered WWE for language, but I did everything else, and didn't do anything extra. That is something to try...
UPDATE!!
I am not sure that something as simple as typing WWE in the language field is what made the difference but I did and it worked. On my home computer I redownloaded the kitchen, base and OEM packages.
I first flashed it with nothing added to the OEM folder and it worked
Then I added to the OEM folder and that worked.
Then I got cocky, redownloaded mfrazzz's original XDA Mobile 6, used Corekitchen to dump, extracted the x-mfrazzz and x-faria settings, combined parts from both and that...............
WORKED!!! YAY! doing a jig (quielty so as not to wake the fiance at 1AM!)
Now all I need to do to really get this to what I want is to make make packages for the following
1. Live search (not live, just search)
2. CloseAll (I just like it!)
3. Softkey from mfrazz's (I prefer it to the Sharkey 48 I have)
4. Get working package of Photodialer today plugin
5. Time sync package from XDA Mobile 6
Any help from the pros in getting this up woudl be awesome! Hopefully others will be able to use them as well.

IF you used Core Kitchen to dump my rom then you have the OEM folders I used and that has SoftKeyEx, TimeSync and you'll find Windows Live and Windows Live search are actually there in the OEM and not in SYS. So I think you have most of what you need now .

SWEET!
Soft key - Check
Time Sync - Check
I found this in the .rgu file in the x-mfrazzz apps. is this for the softkey app or something else?
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\Stk_service]
"Dll"="\\windows\\STK_Service.dll"
"Description"="STK Service"

"Context"=dword:00000001
"Keep"=dword:00000001
"Order"=dword:00000005
"Index"=dword:00000005
Windows Live search - In your OEM folder there are two folders, WindowsLive and WindowsLive_DPI_96. These are both currently also in the SYS folder of mattr_k's base so wouldn't this throw an error? I know I am missing something stupid here.
Ring tones - Is there anyway I can build mp3's into the ROM? I tried placing them in the x-mfrazzz settings folder in my SYS but that didn't work, even though they get built into the windows directory. I looked in the .rgu and there doesn;t seem to be anything about where to place these
PHMReg Edit - I thought I remembered you saying something about being able to export reg settings in the correct format. I was playing around with this and the closest thing I could find was backup. That created a .rbk file but I get gibberish in notepad when I try to open it. My thought process here was to use get all the reg setting the way I want, export them, get them into a .rgu file and then build them in. Any ideas?
How do I get it so that ini_tray.lnk is not automatically in startup?.
Has anyone seen an error message when starting buildOS that just says there was a bug and the app is shutting down?

Yes... If I remember right that was when I had a options.xml that wasn't saved in Unicode (or maybe it was the .rgu or .dsm). Pull packages out and you can figure out which one is teh offending package. Then look at the xml, rgu, and dsm (but I'm pretty sure it was a bad options.xml)

Congrats DC ... if you ever need someone to pick the lock on that ball and chain, let me know...j/k
Okay. I have exhausted all possibilities that I can think of for this problem. The last few ROM's I've ported have been fine, except for one thing. After flashing (or hard reset) the ROM displays the splash screen and then goes to the welcome screen (displays welcomehead.96). However, when the LogoMsg.bmp popups up (the text that says, "The device is clearing the storage. Please wait.) it only displays for a few seconds then leaves. A few seconds later the tone that accompanies the "Tap screen to begin setting up your device" sounds. The words, "Tap screen..." do not show. However, a second or two later the tone sounds again, this time followed by the text, "Tap screen to begin...". From here everything in the ROM works fine. I just cannot figure that part out.
The LogoMsg.bmp is located in OEMDrivers, so I thought I might have accidentally removed something from the OEM folder. However, I have not found anything seemingly related. Also, I thought it might have been related to welcome.exe. Though, I've tried replacing it with an older version; still no luck. Unfortunately, I have tried so many things that I cannot remember exactly what all I have tried. I've re-ported XIP's (using Ervius' kitchen and by hand) and SYS's, as well as taking a fresh copy of my base OEM.
Essentially, I am asking if anyone has come across anything like this in your cooking, and if you have any tips. I would be more than happy to upload a copy of my ROM for you to test or upload my kitchen folders. I appreciate any help that anyone can provide.
EDIT: I'll try and upload a video later to show exactly what is happening.
Hi KMFM$
I use an official rom iolite ita for porting the xip e Sys to my kaiser. After cooking i have the same problem that you describe.
After 2 mounth there is some solution... i'm crazy for this problem
Bye

i have the same issue when flashing any of the wm 6.5 ROM's. not sure what kitchen the chefs use but it doesnt seem to effect anything.
Well, I have yet to find a "solution" to this. However, I have just simply learn to deal with it. It does not effect the ROM in any noticeable way, and from what I've heard from other chef's, this is common in all new ROMs. Not sure what is going on in the ROM during that time frame, but again, it does not effect the standard operation of the ROM.
well dont sweat it then. yeah, i think its normal for 6.5
yep been a normal thing for all my 6.5's
hi KMFM$
the ROM is 6.1 or 6.5?
When it comes to porting it depends on build ver. ect ect. Its a big try and fail operation for moust of us when thing doesnt work as planned. But to get a true port you have to use m'relloc and manual change values in the modules, there is alot of guides on how to.
On dump of nbh in kitchen it unpacks diffrently (provider to provider or if its a "pure" HTC nbh), anyway the cue is that some of the chef`s use xip files in the ROM folder while other make mxipkernel + mxipkernelLTK in SYS and oemxipkernel in OEM then os.nb+ a folder named XIP in ROM and THAT contains boot.rgu I use the last method which for some reason works best for me.

Both, actually. WM6.1 builds from about CE OS 5.2.20757+, I believe, have all given the "extra" notifier. Again, I'm over it. I've just accepted the extra tone and moved on. No big deal.
Hey, this question maybe was asked before, but couldn't find it any where. We can do a lot of tweeks with removing/ changing file in WM6.5 folder, but every time i try to do so it says "Acces denied". what i do wrong and what i need to do. your help and tips are welcome!

Try Total Commander
For the language tweaks on this forum, and other stuff where you need to "overwrite" ROM files, use Total Commander.
It won't allow you hardcore stuff, but for many tricks advertised here it works.
Thinking of it, I wouldn't be able to come up with a good search term for this either. However, the threads with tricks do tell you to use TC.
thanks, but where do i use Total Comander? on PC or on HD2?? thanks again?
p.s. i wnated to change welcome screen to them nice girls on one of the theds and it didnt alow me!

Total Commander runs on the phone. It's basically a file explorer alternative that does a few other things, like registry editing, as well.
It allows you to overwrite read-only and system files that aren't in use.
You should have no problem replacing the startup images with it.
hey johncmolyneux, i see you are one of poor UK HD2 owners with skinned rom. i'll show up stupid again but where do i find TC on UK O2 rom. i had one on my touch pro but i just can't see one on HD2. maybe because O2 removed it? maybe you know link to download on for HD2? thanks in advance
don't worry, found it. anybody need it as weel it's freeware on

Glad you sorted it. I just found it by googling.
Incidentally, I'm an O2 user, but my phone isn't an O2 one - I bought it SIM free. Also, Total Commander doesn't come on the standard ROM either, so you would have been looking for it regardless!
I didn't think O2 were doing anything to the phone. Have they skinned it then?

I've only played with the lockscreen myself, and I did that by copying the cpr file and the associated png files into the windows folder, and then just to be sure, I copied the cpr file into the \windows\lockscreen\ folder as well.
That worked for me.
As far as the start screen goes, I'd raise the problem in the thread that you got the screens from.
Good luck
hey, thanks, i just managed to do welcome screen, but still figthing with lock screen. could you please give link where i can find working lock screen files as ones i've got seems not working! thanks
