Yes that is Possible! Make a screen you want call ist welcomhead.png and copy it in the Windowsfolder on your device. Restart and ready.
Hope this helps!

3rd screen isn't animated. only the 2nd.
look into the windows folder on device and search for the"welcomehead" .gif or"welcomehead192" .gif those should be the file yourtrying to change.
or well.png (on energy roms).
May I suggest the use of JWMD Icon Changer to change the animated.gif and welcomehead.png bootscreens?
With this app, you can even restore your original bootscreens, and it is very user-friendly.

i have that but don't really know how to use it...o use csmi...
With CSMI, you cannot change the bootscreen, but with JWMD Icon Changer, if you go to Menu -> Bonus Features -> Change Microsoft Bootscreen, you can then choose a .png picture to use instead of the orange windows splash screen .
But make sure to use welcomehead .png pictures that are designed for this. You will find many of them in this forum.

I found the image ms_screen320.png that I thought was the start up screen, looks the same, the green BG with D.P.T. and windows logo on it. I wanted to change it so I replaced it with my own image I made, same name, same png file. But it still shows the old one when I start up. in the same folder (windows) there is one titled ms_splash.png that is the other screen orientation (not lanscape). Does anyone know if changing that one will do it? Or am I barking up the wrong tree?
*edit*
didn't change it, same start upscreen
hi, if u replace HTC_LogoImg_320x240 it will change the shout down screen and start up screen but the start up screen will be changed only after the orginal splash anyway.
in ur case the start up and shut down screen my be different you can check them by looking in registry here
HKEY_local_machine/system/shoutdown or startup - it give you the name of the files.
let me know if u managed to change it !
cudo
That points towards oemstartup.dll on start and shutdown. I don't see anything about an image at all. I don't have HTC_LogoImg_320x240 so it must not be on the dash. i wonder if its just one of those things that can't be changed..

i am running htc s620 rom so it might be the case ! in ur case you need to extract the files from dll and put new and dont ask how to do it cos i got no clue !

lol, I'll look around and see what i can find. If I find anything I'll post.
well ,did you find anything.You didnt post back.Ive been looking also as I to have extracted the splash screen but mine is called ms_splash.Im having the same problem and would like to figure this out.Thanks and sorry if this has been covered else where
Got some splash screens you want to see in WM6?
Post them here
I'm looking for two screens, one to replace the splash screen you see on startup (the one which at the moment has TEST UI over it in red), this one must be a 240x320 BMP
Also a splash to replace the WM logo, this must be a 240x320 PNG
I've attached the current first splash screen as well (unfortunately, the forum software compresses the image to JPG so probably best to host the image somewhere else and use tags)
Phil
One (edit) two from me...
bmp format 240x320 px
hope you like it
That is VERY nice
Phil
i really think that the htc images that were posted look very nice and should be used for the next release. then people can change that picture themselves if they want.
@Davex: Very nice
@Bogdi1988: Where are the files to change on the smartphone to change the boot image and the Operator image ?
i know in wm5 there was a way to change somewhere in the windows folder, and some reg editing. so i am guessing it is the same in wm6.
i remember i tryed the iphone skin for wm5 and that's how it was for that.
Here is the QTEK boot splash. Yes, I agree its pretty ugly.

Here a french how to , which explain how to change bootscreen http://www.mlab.name/forum/viewtopic.php?id=54
It's one from vodafone edited by me
I want you... to chose one of these
To the authors..... the second green windows mobile logo is fine, needs not be replaced... (IMHO!)
Also note that these are color variations on the same theme..... you can choose a mix of these images.

i like the first one.... the others seem kinda boring comared to the first one that has those little designs... that's my opinion
HTC screens are nice, by the way, is that possible to remove the warning TEST ONLY?
I vote for the HTC screen on boot up, and leave the Windows Mobile screen alone.
HTC Screens from 2nd post look smart.
They would suit all brands too - ie imate, qtek etc
I vote for the second post too, nice job there

If i can find logos which are in good quality, then is no prob to make it for other brands as well. What i prefer is remove the third screen when booting (the one with operator something) and the second when shuting down (also with the operator cube or whatever). I tried to find the WM5 key where you can change/delete it but without success.

i posted four screens to randmoize various "features" around the 4.... i can make "those little designs" for the 2° screen (the cappuccino one), or can put the hourglass instead of the "starting up", can have the windows flag logo'ed in black&white, etc etc etc
jsut tell me what to do
just put the first one! it looks awesome. and also the two htc pics look great!

Hi i am new here, just got my kaiser and i wanted to customize my splash screen because i flashed a ROM. It took me like 2 days to search through this forum and did everything. I have to say that the information is quite scattered. i am sure a lot of the new guys will have the same problems.
So I decide to contribute my first post to the newbies like me.
BTW i use vista ultimate 64bit, windows mobile center. which seem like there are a lot of compatibility issues.
Okay, so first Boot Screen, Splash Animation and Splash Screen are 3 different things. the order come to the screen is : boot screen (default as "smart mobility" for HTC), then splash animation (default is animation for HTC or operator), then splash screen (default is windows mobile x.x)
Lets work backwards,
Splash Screen
Fairly easy, the image is in \windows\welcomehead.96.png, this folder is not visible on the phone browser on my computer but i can see it with my file explorer on the phone. I made a png and cut then paste it. then i found out the file cannot be replaced somehow (depends on ROM?).
so i looked around, it seems like there are 2 solutions: resco explorer or edit the registry, I have a registry editor so i picked that solution. first i changed my image name to welcome2008.png and uploaded to \windows\ . Then Edit \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\SPLASH SCREEN there are 2 image urls, not sure the difference, but i changed both to \windows\welcome2008.png,
soft reset! wala!!
Splash Animation
Took me a while. the animation is in \windows\animated.gif so I made a gif with flash. but the frame rate seems not right. then i realized the IE is bad in displaying gifs, it looks fine in firefox.
I uploaded to the the phone, cut and paste to \windows\, cannot be replaced the original file again. so i change the file name to animated2.gif, Edit \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HTC\STARTUPANIAMATION change the giffile to "\windows\animated2.gif"
soft reset! bingo!!
later on i also changed another field there called WavFile, so my startup has sound too... SO COOL!
more animation here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=336174
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=414418&highlight=splash
Boot Screen
Took me the longest, first look through:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334907&highlight=kaiser+splash
Download SplashTool, nb_image_converter, customRUU, and htc rom tool.
follow the instruction, i made a bmp and converted it into a nice splash.nb. ran the HTC rom tool, ERROR
error: File "htcrt.info" is CORRPTED. This is the license policy violation! Halting
checked the forum, seems like a lot of people have problem with HTC Rom Tool. so i flipped through google and somehow found this NBHUtil on this forum that also make rom. i attached it in this post.
run NBHUtil, choose Kaiser as device, pick splash.nb in Splash file, LEAVE EVERYTHING ELSE DEFAULT... Build NBH. yay, finally got a splash.nbh,
now what??
Change the nbh name to "ruu_signed.nbh", run CustomRUU, similar steps as you are flashing the ROM
some nervous selections, a bit scared to turn my phone into a brick. but...
IT WORKED !!!
anyhow, hope this post can help some of the newbies.

You maybe are not using the search tools correctly there is a little thing called XDA-WiKi go there and there is all the information you will need. I could give you the link but then you won't learn how to find anything and tomorrow you'll be back asking someone how to change your boot sound. You know you can search GOOGLE and they will bring right back to XDA for what your looking for. You say you been looking for 2 days then your not digging in the right place or using the right tool. It took me 10 key strokes to get what your asking for. So I hope you take my advice you have set yourself up for a flame here by asking this kind of question. I have tried to help you but don't be surprised if you get flamed!

thanks junkmantis, i changed my animation. but when i tried to add the sound, i just got a really sharp noise instead of my sound effect. what did i do wrong?
Cheers dude, new here too and it's a;ways nice to read a 'summary' post.
still cannot get my splash sound to work, anyone knows the problem??
thanks in advance!!
Great post. Quick correction: the registry entry for the splash screen should be corrected
From:
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\MICROSOFT\SPLASH SCREEN
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\SPLASH SCREEN
thanks peterfnet for the correction,
kaiserbb001, i am not sure, maybe something to do with the wav format?? anyone else knows?
Use schap's new Advanced Config 3.0 and check to see if animation is enabled. Also, the .wav file must be in \Windows. You can also use Schap's Advanced Config 3.0 to browse and choose the .wav file that you want to use.
Did all of this great the only problem I have is that my initial boot screen shows and then it stays on there until windows loads so its not showing welcomehead at all anymore, same goes for if I turn the animated splash on it will just show where the animation stopped until windows loads and totally bypasses the welcomehead.
Hope this will get you in the right direction!!

Hello,
so I want to change my SplashAnimation. You say that I must change the RegistryEntry because the animated.gif is Read-Only.
But I cant find \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\SPLASH SCREEN
Do you have an other idea how I will be find the entry? Or do you have an idea how i can delete the Tick to ReadOnly?
Thx 4 Help

I've had my start wav sound do the same as yours ... and a "chipmunk" type fast sound play. I'm assuming the bitrate of my files isn't correct and I don't seem to be able to find the precise settings to create a wav to have it play properly. Can anyone supply this info please?
Hi all,
Here's a splash screen set I did for myself. The main download is "Welcome Splash.zip". This contains all the necessary files and instructions to install it to your device.
The second download is "Splash.zip". This is for advanced users only and is the Splash.nb file for cooking into a ROM.
10-10-08 - Source Graphics and Font files uploaded.
N.B. I'm not a designer, I didn't do the artwork, just the packaging.
Hope you enjoy!
andrew-in-woking
absolutely beautiful my friend
great work and keep it up
I like the look a lot! Very clean and modern-artsy-looking-kinda-thing.
You wouldn't happen to have the same screen without the Welcome/Loading, would you? I'd like to see about getting the HTC logo where it says Welcome, or something to that effect.
very nice
Really nice Bravo ! Downloading and installing now
Source Files
Hi all,
I'll upload the source files, as requested within the next 24 hours.
Happy splash screen flashing!
andrew-in-woking
nice! This'll be good for manila 2d vista theme here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2684727&postcount=1022
Nice. I wonder if this can be done with SD-card flashing?
Animated GIF
Hi all,
I've uploaded the image and font file I used to make the splash screens. If anybody could make an animated GIF with text fading in and/or out that would complete the set. I don't know how to do this.
Cheers,
andrew-in-woking
Also for Elf ??
Hi, can I install this also on my Elf ??
Thanks.

I'm not sure if I didn't do something right here or not, but I still see the AT&T Globe icon in between your new screen, and the 3G woosh screen still runs. Is this normal? I do see your new welcome screen, but in between is the AT&T globe and then the 3G graphics. That's what i would like to eliminate...
Oh well, I will wait to see what everyone else has...
Thanks

Hi
The screen you are talking about is the HTC animation screen. This is the software HTC loads into its ROMs which displays "animated.gif" on start up. You should install schaps advanced config 3.3. In this program you have the option of disabling this part of the start up sequence.
Hope that helps

Hi wapvirus
Is it me or is the transition the wrong way round? Shouldn't it go from "Welcome" to "Loading" not the other way round?

Here you go
I tried to use the neue helvetica 35 thin font, but for some reason I could not get that installed on my Photoshop. So I am using another font.
Here is my version.
Right click on the first image(with just W) and save. This is the animated.gif file. The image(Welcome) is just a screen image.
Hello guys.
I searched a lot on forum, but I cannot find a way to delete the orange screen with windows logo after the htc splash screen (or whatever image if you installed something else instead of htc one)... I mean: is it built in rom? I tried to change it with totalcommander using a different image and renaming it, but the original one is always present...
someone knows what to do?!?
thx
have you seen this?
of course.
and I am not talking about the first splash screen, but the second one. Try to cancel or edit the windows logo image... not possible for me
