It would be so nice if anyone helped me out on this one!!!
the 2nd link is dead, as for the first one, just download the cab from the title which says "Grab the cab from here:"
For the second link, just follow the instructions under the picture
"If you like it, just copy the 4 file attached in windows directory."
Just download the zip file to your computer, open it, extract the 4 files in it, and copy them to \Windows in your device (connect to ActiveSync prior to that).
Soft reset afterwards and you should be good to go.

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

Thanks Ttran!! I knew someone would step in and help me in my time of laziness.
Dumb Question
Okay, this is probably a dumb question.
I followed your instructions to the letter -- got the PrimarySplash.nb file.
My questions is Now what do I do to flash it to the phone. Go back to step 1?
Please Advise
Thanks

Okay got it. Will try it. Thanks.
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!!!!!
yay for viets! (sorry gotta represent)

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

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.
Been searching a couple days how to install rar files on to my Verizon XV6900 vogue with WM6.1. I am attaching one of the files I am tring to install, for general help. I can seem to install in activesync, from withing sorage card, etc.
Thanks, in advance
Dave,
Unless you have pocket Rar installed on you device you cant install as its zipped. Download a free RAR extractor on your PC, unpack it and you will find your CAB or files inside...... simply copy them/it to your PPC and voila
pocket rar is installed
I did zip the file to upload it, the forum would not accpt it in rar form. When I put the rar on my device ((XV6900 vogue verizon) WM6.1 ROM 3.14.605.1), I was able to unpack it but there was no cab. I upoaded it tthinking somebody would check the contents and help me out.

Sorry about that Dave, i mis-understood what you were trying to do It would help me if u gave me the link where you got the rar file as it would probably contain instructions as to where on ur device you need to copy the unzipped files to (like /windows etc). Let me know where you got the rar file from.
cant find original thread I d/l from
It was from rstoyguy
All I was basicall looking for for my phone was the Diamond Theme and the diamond dialer. I 'm pretty new to modifying my phones. I did flash the rom to the magicflo but went back. Is there a way to just THEME my current rom?
I tried searching, found this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310788&page=2 but it's not answering my question.
My Kaiser came with SPB GPRS Monitor and Sprite Backup. Both came as an installation disk (exe format) to be installed through a PC. Now, I'm looking at a way to make CAB for carrying both so that anytime I do a hard reset or reflash ROM, I can re-install both without using PC. Looking at the thread, I tried opening up the .exe and able to get the Cab files (there're 2, named 1 and 2 for each setup executable extracted), but copying the Cab and running it on my Kaiser won't work.
Is there any way? I try avoiding using 'cracked' cab apps .. I have it as bundled for the Kaiser, there should be a legit way for me to have it as cabs ..
There is a way.
run the installer from your PC. when the installation screen comes up asking you to choose between storage card and device, DONT CHOOSE. instead, run a file manager and search for the cab file. it usually goes either in windows/appmgr or in application data/volatile
What if in this case, it doesn't ask, it immediately says check your WM device, there's further instruction.
Second question: is the search done on the PC or the WM?
I'll definitely give it a try .. and thanks!
if u got activesync installed on your PC, run the exe files and find the .cab files on program files/microsoft activesync folder
semoga berhasil
Thank you. Terima Kasih Will give it a try
the cab file doesn't always appear on your PC.. but it does always appear on your PPC
look for it in your PDA when it tells you to look for further instructions..
WinRAR (rarlabs.com) is free and will extract most files from EXE installer archives. However, if WinRAR won't then UniversalExtractor will. You can search for it on google and download a demo.
THANK YOU
Thanks to all who has responded.
I managed to find the CAB files under PC's respective folders (Some are under Active Sync, some like Holux, created it's own folder). Tested some of the CABs found there and it worked. Now I'm a happy camper, got all of the CABS that I need (especially GPRS Monitor )
Last question:
the cab file doesn't always appear on your PC.. but it does always appear on your PPC
look for it in your PDA when it tells you to look for further instructions..

Under which folder I should be looking? I tried TEMP but it's empty (that's before I confirming the install process)

I always do this to extract cab files from a exe installer and most of the time the cab file can be found at windows/appmgr/install
very useful and a serious time saver
Sticky or Wiki?
Thanks again for responses. I'm able to get what I need and believe this can be put as part of FAQ, Wiki or Sticky?
Sticky no.. but i will add it to the guides thread soon..
[B]Hello all! i ve got an Htc tytn2. can u plz tell me in detail how to install cab files and Home 2
Thank you all[/B]
Install cab files is quite straightforward. Once you have copied it to your device, you use your file manager to find it. Then you double click to 'open' the file. It will start the installation form then onwards. The same goes for Home2, it also comes as a cab file. Customizing Home2 is something different, but have a look at comunity.pointui.com where you'll find all the answers.
OK Ive Done Everything I Can Think Of But Im New To THis Stuff..Can Someone Please Give Me A Step By Step On THis..Ive Been Trying To Install THe Energy Sense 23557 I THink It Is For My Hd2(Leo) and Ive Downloaded On My Phone And On My Computer But I Dont Know What TO Do After That..Ive Tried Using The jzip and zip manager but i really dont understand what im supposed to be doing..can someone please help me..i really want that rom..thanks
Welcome aboard!!
Go here and download the 7Z software that will run on your OS.
http://www.7-zip.org/download.html
Then extract the ROM using 7Z.
Follow flashing instructions posted in the sticky thread at the top of your respected devices forum and your done.
I have tried the energy ROM's and they are well done.
Install 7-zip, then right click on the .7z file and under 7-zip, select 'extract files' (don't select 'extract files here', it can be a mess if there's a lot of stuff in there). A pop-up may appear (can't remember); just click ok and it will take a minute or so.
