I found something in the forums, but oly cabbed dialers which eat almost 5MB storage, so I simply edited the dialer pics in windows folder.
Just copy them into windows folder and accept overwriting, you will gain 1 MB of free storage, thanks to lnando84 for images compression.
I still need to edit some files , but at the moment the dialer is as in images below
If my memory is correct sir, you can find the missing images in the phcanImages.dll file.
Hope this can helps you.
I don't know how to manage .dll files.
I red some tutorials but at this moment I have no time to make practice, if someone could kindly extract the images and post them here, I could edit them and repost to rebuild the .dll
you can use a app called "Resource Hacker" to extract the bmp-file from your dll. after editing this image, just import it using Resource Hacker and save your new file. after that you'll have to singn your new dll (just search xdadev for signing dll-files).
Here in attachment you can find your needed files.
And to be useful to you I have extract all .bmb files from the specific .dll file.
Hope this helps you.
thanks, lot of things inside.. I've just made a try with the button that was missing, it's difficult to identify the gray frame..
in the rar file there are 2 pics (both in bmp and png cause I don't know which is the better format) .
Bitmap_11/png11 is from phcanImages2.dll , Bitmap_12/png12 is from phcanImages.dll.
Need to rebuild the dll files and test if I'm on the right way
thanks to kurt-willems I made a test, edited images above are ok, just have a matter of file size.
Now I need to rebuild the dll files without increase their size
here the dll files I rebuilt, I need help to check them cause I'm not able to sign them.
if I replace the stock files with those unsigned I lose storage (seems the OS have memory of the original files somewhere) and have a weird displaying of dialer bottom bar.
EDIT: if you're going to test this post dll on the phone , make first a sistem backup cause, once installed , overwriting them with the stock one will not give you back free storage .

Just copy them into windows folder and accept overwriting, you will lose only few KB of storage.
I still need to edit some files but I'm not able to find them (see pics with arrow- no need the green button but the gray frame) if someone knows please tell me name\location of those files

Hi jjolly,
do you also have a screenshot of the incoming call screen?? If that's also black, you convinced me to change to your method instead of .cab file installation.

unforunately no, I firstly have to learn manage dll files to complete the black buttons, and the incoming call screen is quiet complicated for me.. i made an attempt some time ago: there are 2 or 3 bmp image that are overlayed to create that background, and there is the caller name text that has to be changed from black to white and I don't have any idea where it is
at this moment you can use files in post #1 and have black keyboard+back button as in image without sacrifice free storage.

I'll try lending a helping hand. I downloaded the zip from post #6 and noticed there are only 2 different images in there. Are these the only 2 you'd like to change within the .dll? In order for me to do that I'll need you to go into your windows folder, copy "phcanImages.dll" out of there and attach it for me.

No problem, I swapped out the 2 images you provided with the original one's from the dll's. I see what you mean about the storage because they did increase in size with just switching 1 image in each when there are about 20 bmps in each dll. Here are the one's i edited so u can see the difference.

I love this forum. I have learn't so much so far, but still have a lot to learn. Epecially programming for WM. Anyway, on to the reason for posting this thread.
Since learning that I could flash from my microSD card thanks to the tutorial by renaming the *.nbh to KAISIMG.nbh and placing it in the root folder. I have been making custom 1st splash screens to flash remotely as well as making a directory on my microSd ("Flashing from MicroSD") and creating directories for original roms such as (\WM6 Originals\Alex\KAISIMG.nbh) or (\WM6.1\SleuthV3\KAISIMG.nbh), (I also have KAISIMG for just Radios under a different folder) so when I want to try a new rom, flash a different radio or splash, I can at anytime.
Here's the thing I love using the splash tools (maker and converter) and Rom Builder. But obviously you need a PC. Would anyone by able to recreate a mobile version of these tools so we could do most things (customisation wise) whilst we are mobile.
I.E. I want to make and flash a new splash whilst mobile from a *.jpg. I could use this program to convert to .bmp format needed, then convert to *.nb thsn to *.nbh. I could then use a file manager to rename to KAISIMG.nbh then place in microSD root folder and flash.
What you think? Would this be too hard to do? Anyone want more mobile control of your mobile customisation?
Other tools that could be ported would also help. I make the welcome.96.png with my mobile graphics problems.
Well for the moment I'll stick to making several themed splash into the KAISIMG.nbh to flash remotely (making sure you have enough battery mind/dont flash on 10% or something/I recommend over 10% for mobile flashing your splashes and over 50% for you WM Roms)
Got a collection of around 19 Slide out Keyboard sounds inc Knightrider, Thundercats, Xbox 360 boot sound and others. When I have a couple more made I'll post my Sliding keyboard Sounds.cab if anybody wants it over the next Couple of days. (Some sounds gathered from other users share i.e. Mario etc)
Thanks anyway. Feel free to post your views and look forward to seeing if anyone is up to this challenge..

You pose interesting questions, if you don't get much here, I'd try dropping those ideas into the Development and Hacking forum and see what they think. That's usually where the new programs come from.
And yes, I would at least like to see some funky sounds added to the list of things I put on my Kaiser...
( OMG...Jarek91 didn't have anything snarky to say )
Sound .cab v1 (Keyboard Slideout)
Tried to upload my .cab in both .cab and .zip formats and are well below the file size limits but forum keeps saying failed *.cab or *.zip
Any idea's??

I'd say try a 4shared account or talk to alltheway or HDStreetGlide about tossing it on their 4shared accounts. That seems to be the current way of getting the larger files out there unless you want to use RapidShare or MegaUpload.

Tip for creating cabs:
If you already have HDWall installed (e.g. to make transparent taskbars and softkeybars), you can use the built-in 'create cab' function to create your cabs - this saves installing an extra piece of software...
On the subject of tutorials, I can tell you from experience that creating your own 'digital' clocks is a lot easier than creating your own sliders.
The easiest way to go about creating a new digital clock is:
1. Take somebody else's clock cab (I've attached one of mine to this post)
2. Unzip it (Winzip will do it) to get the original files
3. Re-name the 'working' files back to their original 'manila names' (if you look inside the _setup.xml file, you can see the both the manila filename and the working filename e.g.
<characteristic type="1435ccbf_manila" translation="install">
<characteristic type="Extract">
<parm name="Source" value="FILE0001.001" />
means the file named FILE0001.001 should be re-named to 1435ccbf_manila etc. (note: the xxxxxx.999 file is not needed here!)
4. Once you have extracted and re-named all the manila files, you can use CFC_GUI to extract the PNG images for my clock to use as a guideline to making your own
5. Make your own PNG images
6. Use CFC_GUI again to insert your new images into the manila files
Note: My cab consists of 8 manila files:
4 files for the 4 sections of the clock (2 up and 2 down)
1 background for the clock (see attached screenshot)
1 file each for AM and PM
1 file with the numerals
If anyone is interested in seeing some of the other 'Glass Clocks' I made, you can find them all in this thread:

Have fun and good luck!

nice job mate, keep it up, my advice is to take a cab from the site, slider, clock or what ever you want to customize, extract it with wince cab manager (the best cab management software, in my opinion) and manila editor and photoshop can do right about everything to a image the important thig if you take part of some one elses work or inspire to ask permision and mention that you have inspired from that persons work
sorry for the confusion. the green clock and slider is what I,ve done, the lead clock is by dr ammar-jaguaralani.
Ok so I've modified the image files from a slider cab, converted back to QTC's and overwritten them back into the unzipped cab file.
How do I make it all back into a cab?
Got Quickcab.......select all the files from the left window but where to select to put them in the right window?

Did you extract your manila files from another .cab? (If so, have you maybe done it via winzip or something similar?)
The files you copied don't have the correct names... (manila files are always named "xxxx_manila")
If you give me all the files, I could make the .cab for you.
Otherwise, just PM me and we'll discuss this further

Very Basic Question
Up to now I have only "consumed" as a user, but I start to dig deeper...
Basic Question: The manila files contain only pictures (skins, buttons etc.)? There is no code in?
So if I modify one of the manilas, I just change the appearance of that specific part of the screen?
If anyone could confirm or explain the function of the manila files, would be great.

How to change the Start Up screen
Choose the file you fancy, rename it to welcomehead.192 and copy it to /windows folder on your device. Restart, Enjoy!
All files are in .png format and if you copy them as it is and just rename them to welcomehead.192, it should work. Please let me know if it doesn't
How to change Splash screen
a) I have also made an animated .gif file if your ROM has a splash screen, you could replace it.
Splash Screen will ONLY work if your ROM already has a splash screen cooked into it. If you are using a custom ROM where splash screen has been removed, then you can't use the animated screen. If you try to install, you won't see any change! Don't worry, it won't brick your phone!
in HKLM\Software\Toshiba\StartupAnimation:
Enabled (DWord) : 1
GIFFile (String) : \windows\animated.gif
Change the one in BLUE to the WM_animated.gif, so that new animation file will be used instead of default 'animated.gif'

Thanks Miro!
I will rename it as well as put it in first post so before install it can be changed.
I will try to flash stonROM tomorrow and see if it works.
Also will put in first post so everyone knows that it will only work on ROMs where splash screen is cooked in!
Thanks a lot for the help my friend

Try changing the name to welcomehead.192.png and it should work. All the files I have updated should be in .png format
WinMo will only use the file if it's in .png format.
Thanks drupad2drupad, welcomehead.192.png is the right name.
But I can't replace the existing file, how I can change the permitions?

u can use an external file explorer like Resco file explorer. In properties of file, untick system and hidden. Once u have replaced the file simply put the ticks back for new file. Hope this helps
Thank You again drupad2drupad.

I failure to use animated start up screen.
I'm still amateur in WM customizing.
Now i study the possibility of SKTools.

You should be able to replace Orange splash screen with animated.gif - animated WM screen in the first post. You need a registry editor like Resco registry editor or total commander in order to make the registry changes I mentioned in first post.
Aha, now I understand. I'll try again wit WM_animated.gif from your first post.
Tired of looking at that honor 5X standard boot logo? Well here are 8 different ones I've made for you to chose from. This has been a bit of a challenge due to the different and occasionally strange 5X OS. I must thank @deadman96385 for pointing me in the right direction to where the 5X has it's boot logo stored.
Before using you must be aware that it is possible to soft brick your device, however I have changed my own boot logo 8 times using each one of the posted examples successfully.
At this point I must emphasise that I am not responsible for any ills that may befall your device, including soft and hard bricking through to Aliens landing, mating with your dog and then trashing all your devices.
It is not possible to upload .mbn files to XDA, therefore I have renamed the file extensions to .img, AS SOON AS YOU DOWNLOAD THE FILE rename the extension to .mbn
UPDATED 2/23/2016
I've had a request to give a guide for creating the oemlogo.mbn files to complement what I posted in respect of installing new boot logos. To keep it in logical order I have done a rewrite of the first guide and put in the new points at the appropriate places. If you are not bothered about making your own .mbn files but instead are just happy to use ones that I or anyone else post then you can just pick up at the appropriate point in the install part of the guide.
To create .mbn files for the honor 5X you will need the following..... (1) A graphics manipulation program - the one I use is the free "Paint.net" which can be downloaded from their web site at http://www.getpaint.net/index.html..... (2) You will also need a program which can remove the 54 byte header from .BMP files. Those of you proficient in code/scripting can probably do this with a good hex editor but I needed to find a program to do it for me. I use "bmp-header-remover.exe" from here http://karpolan.com/software/bmp-header-remover/ .... to be honest there is a lot of dispute and controversy on the Web about this type of program so I won't tell you to use it but for what I wanted it did the job.
When you get to the installation stage you will need on your 5X a File Manager and a Terminal Emulator.
OK let's get started ....
1) Firstly you have to find an image you want to use, this can be any of these .JPG, .PNG, or .BMP, personally I prefer to work with .JPG's. Bear in mind that the 5X default image size is 1080 x 1920 so if you start with a small image let's say 300 x 300, by the time it has been blown up to the full 5X size you are going to lose some definition and you will likely get an unwelcome degree of distortion.
2) Open the "Paint.net" program and click on the heading "Layers" then on the drop down menu click on "Import from File" then in the window that opens, navigate to where your image is and click on it to open it in "Paint.net". Don't be disturbed by the size or appearance.
3) Click on the heading "Image" then on the drop down menu click on "Resize". In the "Resize" window that opens enter the size of 1080 in the width box and 1920 in the height box. Then click "Ok". Your image will now be resized to the 5X parameters.
4) At this point you can use the "Paint.net" tools to adjust colors or add text and if you experiment you should be able to stretch or contract the image to how you want it. I make no apology for the fact that I am not giving a guide to the use of "Paint.net" here (their help page should answer any questions you have).
5) Now comes the juggling bit. In "Paint.net" click on the heading "Image", a drop down menu opens so click on the choice "Flip Vertical". Your image now takes what I think of as an "upside down and inside out" aspect, you'll see that it's upside down and in effect is a mirror image.
6) Now you need to save the file. Click on the heading "File" and from the drop down menu click on "SaveAs". Now it is important to save the image as a .BMP file irrespective of whether you started with a .JPG or .PNG or .BMP original. In the "SaveAs" box "Paint.net" tends to default as its own file format(.PDN) so change this by selecting .BMP. At this time you can leave the filename as it is or change it, it doesn't matter. Make certain that it is being saved to the folder location you want then click "Save". The next screen you get is the "SaveConfiguration" window, on the left hand side of this window you must click on "24-bit", leave everything else alone and click on "OK". Exit out of "Paint.net".
7) Now you need to run the program "bmp-header-remover.exe". A small window opens up and you will see two empty slots (to be honest you only have to read the screen and you will see what you have to do). In the top slot enter the path to your newly created .BMP file - In the bottom slot enter the path and name that you chose for your modified file. ***VERY IMPORTANT - YOU MUST GIVE THE FILE NAME AN .MBN EXTENSION*** So just to emphasize in the top slot you will have a .BMP file and in the bottom slot you will have an .MBN file. Click on the button "Remove BMP Header" and you have successfully created your .MBN file.
Now we move on to the "INSTALLATION" phase
8) Transfer the .MBN file to your device putting it in whichever folder of your SD Card you prefer. Use your File Manager to copy or Move the .MBN file to the Internal folder...../cust/hw/usa/logo..... If you want to keep the standard boot logo (as a safety precaution), rename it now or it will be overwritten. Rename your new .MBN file to oemlogo.mbn and change the permissions to match the original.
9) Come out of File Manager and open your Terminal Emulator. At the $ prompt change into superuser mode by typing su and pressing Return/Enter. You will then get the # prompt.Type load_oemlogo press Return/Enter and several lines of text will display, when this stops exit out of Terminal Emulator.
10) REBOOT and enjoy your new boot logo.
I have posted .jpg's so that you can see what you are getting.
Thought I would knock up another one. Very simple this one. All above instructions apply. Works on mine. JPG shows what it's like.

Hey @deadman96385 thanks for your post. I have been making boot logos and boot animations for my varied Android devices since 2012 and believe me when I say I have never come up with such a complicated way of dealing with them as that which is used by Huawei in it's EMUI operating/themed system, I think you might agree with me. Looking at my above instructions (just to INSTALL the darned thing) I am amazed that so many downloads have been made without a squawk about the complicated proceedure compared with a "normal" device using a flashable zip in recovery. That by the way is my ultimate aim (flashable zips) but so far very little success with my Edify scripting.
However even if I was successfull that would not tackle the problem of constructing the ".mbn" file which I'm sure is the point you are making by posting your query. @Deadman it is one of the weirdest and complicated set of steps I have ever had to take in order to create a file which I could "flash/load/push". On initially thinking about posting my method I am a little reluctant because I don't want to lead a possible "noob" into soft/hard bricking his/her device because of me. However I appreciate your interest and if you think it would assist the thread's community then I will do so. A word of warning, it will take me a bit of time to try and write in logical understandable steps the way to go.

@deadman96385 ... please see my edit to post#1 this effectively changes the playing field for the moment.
TO ALL READERS ..... This post can be ignored now later events have overtaken it.
@deadman96385 ... Don't know if this has anything to do with anything ... In twrp recovery in the "Mount" section I have a partition named "cust" with an empty check box beside it. It is not possible to chose "cust" , the check box will not accept a click. If I use any "Install type" function i.e. install a zip or install an image or wipe Dalvic & Cache, although the function is "Successful" , I also get written several lines in Red (Error) text i.e. "Failed to mount '/cust' (Invalid argument)"
It may seem a remote possibility but is there any chance that the mount "cust" has anything to with my missing folders?
THIS POST CAN NOW BE IGNORED ..... My system was screwed up by the B140 update.

@clsA ... much appreciate your post, it just about confirms my suspicions that all the problems I'm having result from my installation of B140. Had tentatively decided that today I would restore one of my twrp backups taking me back to B130 then let it settle down before maybe trying B140 again. Just in the rare possibility that anyone else is having the same issues as me, when I found the folders missing I re-created them but on reboot they were deleted again.

@deadman96385 ... Post #1 amended. Guide now explains how to create .mbn files as well as installing them.
Skull splash screen
I made one, if anyone is interested I may post some more when I make them. Remember to rename .img file to .mbn and to follow the install guide posted here. I also suggest to make a nandroid beforehand. My thanks for it to @metpolds for the tutorial, and I apologize if I messed up the upload this is my first contribution to xda. If you like or use the file please hit thanks I need em right now.

@wickedesires ... Do like your skull, I'll try it out for a while. Glad my original post was of some assistance. As for "Thanks" don't stop breathing awaiting them. If you add them up you will find that my original 8 logos have been downloaded 954 times and you can see that 5 different people gave a "Thanks" throughout the thread. It would seem that the new phone has attracted a new breed of poster.

I'm glad you like it, I've use xda for so long I'm glad to finally contribute to the community a little bit. About the thanks, yeah I've noticed that in a few other places in the 5x forums as well. It'll be nice to have the prerequisites out of the way. Again thanks for your tutorials, as soon as I find a video or something I like enough to put the work into I'm going to make a bootani also. I've been fooling around with the 2 that came stock and you're right Huawei made all of this much more complicated than it needed to be or has ever been on any other device I've owned.
Rgb skull splash screen
I made a red version of the skull splash screen to go with the new boot animation, for some reason when installed they render a different color than what I made on the PC so when trying to nail down red I got green and blue also that I will post. Since they render a different color I can't provide accurate thumbnails but they are the color in the file name. Remember to rename to oemlogo.mbn, put in the correct folder, change permissions, and load with terminal emulator as per the tutorial. I may take a break from making any more until I see about making them into flashable zips.

@wickedesires ... Congrats on the logos. Regarding the color change - I vaguely remember that in the early days of making logos for the moto G, I and others ran into a similar problem. This turned out to be a problem in the script used, the particular graphics program used by the script changed the colors. However if you are using the program "Paint.net" for your graphics manipulation then that probably isn't the problem.
As far as flashable zips go, since February when I posted my first logos for the 5X I have been working, fairly regularly, on trying to create flashables. I keep on running into errors which is particularly aggravating because I don't run into problems with creating them for the moto G or the moto X Pure. I think it's as we have both agreed - the problem lies in the difference between the 5X EMUI coding compared to genuine Android.
@metpolds I'm actually using gimp,but I'll give paint.net a look. If you break any ground on flashable zips let me know, I'll do the same.

@linux33it ... Thanks for adding your logo to the thread.
I see that you have this well in hand but I thought you might find this interesting anyway -
https://github.com/fedotawa/flash_oemlogo_u9500?files=1
Looks like it would be easy to modify if this helps.
Could start by commenting out the final load step, changing the resolution, feeding it a PNG, and see if it produces the same oemlogo.mbn as the same PNG run through your procedure.
I mention this because some of us don't normally run Windows.
Edit - now that I think about it, I may be able to get the original bootsplash as a PNG and then compare with the original Huawei mbn. I think I'll do that and get back to you unless you beat me to it.
