Hi pof.
This is a great idea and I thank you for the instructions but I got to #6 and am so new to ROM building(virgin, in fact ) that I must ask....
In the htc rom tool do I leave all fields blank except for the splash screen entry? And where do I enter that? I assume that I type splash.nb into the splash1 field.
Else, do I fill in all of the fields such as country ID, version, IPL?
many thanks.

one more question. does this flash delete my current tytn's settings (do i need to flash splash screens after hard reset or anytime)?
re
Is there a way to make a .cab file to change the bootsplash image? Also i see some custom roms have a 3d intro (maybe flash?) how would i go about doing this?
Thanks
thanks a lot man
To change Splash Boot screen, made a picture 320x320 pixel 96dpi save it in .png and rename in welcomehead.96.png
Use Resco Explorer, copy, paste and replace the welcomehead.96.png in folder Windows, make a soft reset.
So, this will be the correct tool to use to format images for the Titan?

Great Idea mate we should start a thread based on all custom splash screens who knows the cooks might even used some of them soon.

How do you run bmp converter? Not work for me!
I get 240 file eroor when trying to flash it to my tytn2.
Optical Illusion Splash Screens
Some optical illusions:
Animated?
Since the image is in .png format is it safe to assume that we can NOT load an animated splash screen??.. Also does flashing via the steps in the first post accomplishes the same as replacing the welcomhead.96.png manually??
Thank you..
jadehawk: you are correct that the welcomehead.96.png is non-animated, if you create an animated .gif and rename it to .png it may work in some programs that read inside the file for the relevant code to know how to display it but most programs including the wm6 bootup hook will not display it how it should so don't bother
Just to clarify that the original post by pof is "THE ONLY WAY" at present to replace the splash screen on initial boot of the phone, the welcomehead.96.png usage is on windows boot (some people have a 3rd animated .gif in between the 2, but this doesn't work on all models even with the registry entries in place, i have tried on my T-Mobile).
hope that helps.
Russ
Thank you
Great thank you for clearing that out.. for now I am just happy replacing the animated.gif file in the windows folder with something other than the HTC animated one.. I have tried to make my own ROM using the kaiser kitchen but so far It has never worked at least not like the really simple tutorials I have found here.. still waiting for a better tutorial with screenshots and all.. so far i will stick with the ones I get from here and use the sprite backup to restore the applications I want loaded in the ROM.. thank you

Hey guys... just released a new chome weather version that should work with the VOX also. Can somebody give it a shot ?
I can't seem to get it to install,
Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions.
I'm using version 3 of Zeeshee ROM.
Cheers,
Same for me! Same rom. Btw, both weather progs delete my clock icon and blackscreen is not possible to load. (mini with dr.gonzo 6.1 rom)
Everything works!
Extract from cab all files for Windows directory and place them into the device.
Delete this files from cab and save cab.
Modify cab working.
Works brilliant .. Thanks a lot keep it up ... i like the background on the pictures what you post there . it will be great if you send it as well . cheers
I'm being stupid here.
I still can't get it to work.
Can someone upload the modified cab please.
Thank you.
Unzip attached file.
Copy files from 'Windows' (archive) to 'Windows' (device).
Copy cab to device and run it.
Reboot.
Enjoy!
Excellent!
Thank you for posting.
Regards,
Anyone have a screen shot of what it looks like?

weather.yahoo.com gives me NLXX001 as code
Doesn't seem to do anything
(And so is c>f not working)
Are we still using weather.yahoo.com as source?
I had already installed the original MiniWeather on my on my vox (Orange E650) and all was OK except that in portrait mode the weather image didn't show on the clock tab whereas it did in portrait mode. So I decided to install the vox version to see if it would be fixed.
Unfortunately I've found that the files can't be copied over to the device's Windows folder because Resco says they already there as read-only files in ROM and therefore cannot be overwritten. So after installing the 1.0b CAB I get the following error when I initially select options:
Unknown command: "nu=timestamp"
Line 13(\program files\nrg\chomeminiweather\SetOptions.mscr):nu=TimeStamp()
Is there anything that can be done? Would the clock/weather Image have been fixed anyway? If not I'll revert to the previous version
Thanks and nice program !!!
can someoene post a home screen to show how this should look. Its messed up on mine i believe I get 2 panels - the first one works but the image is messed up. The second one says "forecast" but in there it just says "push centre button to update, push right softkey marked options to set your options"
I had trouble copying the two chome files to the windows directory - it said I didnt have permission to copy them.
can anyone assist ?
Frottage........ It sounds like you've had a similar problem to mine above.
If you can't copy the files over the install doesn't work properly.
I've reverted to the non-Vox version and all now seems OK on my Orange E650 with Dr.Gonzo's 5.2.19195 Rom
Try using the Resco Explorer trial to copy them across. It's because the files it's trying to replace are in ROM. Resco worked on my Dr. Gonzo E650.

I assume they come in zip files. The M2DC (customizerz) should recognize it anyway. So just add theme and look for the zip file wherever its downloaded. Hope that helps

You can't just download the files you need M2DC first. Download the customizer, open it, use restore to back up your default theme and then use add, to add new themes.

rename .zip to .m2dct
Hi
If you get a .zip file with lots of pictures in then don't unzip it, simply rename the extension to .m2dct for example rename example.zip to example.m2dct If you're using Windows you may need to un-check "Hide extensions for known file types" in folder options.
You should then copy your .m2dct files to "\Storage Card\Program Files\M2DC" or "\Program Files\M2DC" depending on where you installed the Manila2D Customiser. You should now see the name and possibly a screen shot of the theme appear in the M2DC Theme tab.
Hope that helps

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'

That's no problem at all, we will write feedback to XDA on the thread and ask them to provide more thanks per day
Miro, if possible, can you please test the animated splash screen on tg01? I can't. I think in your ROM you have removed the splash screen. If I get feedback and suggestions, I am ready to bang out some more of these babies
ha, tnx, again (i find 5x tnx per day is not enough)
yes, no prob. i will test it and i will make a cab with enabling htc animation!

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

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.
does anyone know if there are any png file for this weather mod
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694886
or how to extract the png from the cab file
You would need to extract the manila files from the cab first and then extract the .pngs from the xxxxxxxx_manila files. Not very difficult with the right tools (cab manager of choice and CFC GUI). Or you can just shoot a pm to the creator and ask if he can share the .pngs.
Hi
The esiest way to extract manila files to png is mod9editor.
Put all the manilas in a folder on your desktop. Open mod9editor and choose the path to the folder. Then klick on the button Q>P that means QTC to PNG. Now all manila files are as PNG in that folder.
Same way to convert them back to QTC (manila) by using the button P>Q.
I was recently messing around with the weather images for "darkwolfelite" over in the farscape thread and made myself a collection of all the original manila files as well as extracted pngs to go with each. I figure it'll probably save you lots of time and help some so here's a zip with everything..
