Flash your device with a rom that brings a new main & sub ;-)

I have the same issue, but i simply close my eyes for a couple of seconds until the boot spash screen is over.
You can even use that time to meditate e.g. about the meaning of life ;-)

Okay:
just open an image or create one, with also paint;
make it 240x320 pixels, 240 in width, 320 in height...
save it as bmp, with 24 bits...
open it with nb_image_converter
convert to "nb"
save it as first and second.nb...
now, if you don't have windows.nb use dutty's nbtools to extract from rom, reuse nbtools to compile nbh, add
in os: windows.nb
in "first splash" the file first.nb
in "second splash" the file second.nb...
compile nbh file and flash into ppc, when you finish, you can see you freferred splash screens!!
--> you must re-flash you mobile! You won't loose anything because you just flash a new splash!

Yep you need to flash a new rom because as far as I know thats the only way it can be changed since its written at the same time as the ROM. Tom's B&Bv3 has just changed mine from the o2 default to the HTC logo, ask him how he did it but I'm pretty sure you need a new ROM with the logo of your choice embedded.
PS: Don't think you can do the log seperately either but I'm sure a more knowledgable person will be along shortly

Totally not going for me.. just upgraded to wm6 and the new activesync... maybe that's the reason?
There was a way I heard of using the RUU and replacing a file with the new image you wanted for splash...
"Perhaps you should look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=12898.
There is a great program on there for converting pictures to .nb files and also a CAB which, when run, will change the boot images.
This does require putting the splash1.nb and splash2.nb files into the /windows/ directory before running MDA3_bootimage_changer2.CAB,
but if you want to just run a CAB file you can just edit that CAB and place your own created splash1.nb and splash2.nb files
in it with the location set as /windows/ (I tried it with WinCE CAB Manager and this way works as well)."

It does depend on the rom, B&B v1 & 2 didn't update my boot screen but v3 did so maybe you've got an old version? Are you actually using the B&B rom at all? Not all rom updates change the boot screen, it depends on the chef if they include em in the first place

B&B? Did i miss something?
Tried two ways:
1: making the splash1 and splash2
2: tried RUU updating the splash, but fails, think it's the new activesync.
Did i mention that i'm trying this on a htc p3300?
Sorry, B&B is Black & Blue. Its the ROM that Tom Codon has been releasing and updating for the P3300\Artemis\Orbit.

Computer Boot Splash Screens

Hey everyone,
I've taken away a lot from this site in regards to ROMs, Radios, knowledge, freindly banter, etc. etc. so I figured I'd contribute something small back. Recently a lot of people have been making splash screens with some crazy pics, there are a lot of talented people on here I must say. However, I was looking for something more like a computer since this device really is like one. So I came up with a POST screen and then into the Windows boot screen. I attached the screen shots below and a zip that contains the updater and welcome.png file. I hope at least some of you enjoy it, but if you don't thats cool too.
Here are the screenshots, I forgot to upload that file.
Looks very cool!
like it a lot, TNX.
is it animated??
It's not animated only because of the sound issues the AT&T one caused a while back. If I find out it doesn't cause sound issues and people are interested I'd animate it.
uber newb question, how do I apply this splash screen when I open RUUWrapper I get what looks like something I used to upload my ROM fille
any hints on how to run this safely?

Just run the RUU exe and select Force SPL if you are not HARD SPL. It will flash the new splash screen and reboot. Next copy over the welcomehead JPG file into the Windows directory on your device. Reset to see the new setup.

Align Screen freezes on screen where the first star apears.

The problem is that...
when i click START - SYSTEM - SCREEN - ALIGN SCREEN...
it freezes when it shows the first 'star' where you have to align. (the star at the centre of the screen when you press align screen)
Is there a fix or patch on this?
It's happening on most ROMs i put on my SPV M3100...
apart from the official rom (which is boring compared to other cooked roms).
Thanks

Can you please give more details about your device? Bootloader, ROM name (the one you are using now)... It will help troubleshoot your problem.
i assume it works when you first have to allign it, after a flash...
am i right?
if yes then it probably has to do smth. with the programs in your extended rom that get installed on the first boot

Yes I think you are right because with I can a align the screen infinite times with the original WM6 Hermes ROM... but with any other ROM e.g. Shwaps or TNT or Black ROM I can only align it once... just after putting the ROM on. But i know for sure its not FTouchFlo as I do not have that installed.

Later Schap's ROMs (4.20 and 4.22) and some other cooked ROMs contain FTouchFlo, FTouchFlo is also contained in various Touch Cubes installations for Hermes - even commercial Touch Commander contains it. Be sure not to have any of these installed. That might be the culprit. The behavior you describe seems to be FTouchFlo - after you click the first star, the screen does not react, but the buttons work, functionality of screen returns after a soft reset. It can also be a different problem, but we need to single FTouchFlo out completely before digging deeper.

yes I am 100% sure anything with touchflo is not installed
e.g. the cube.. touch flo... etc
And yes it is exactly how u desribed about ... if you soft reset if just returns to the today screen. its just my SPV m3100 keeps on moving out of alignment... i tried to follow the instructions on some forums to get the screen alignment to stop but i dont seem to get them...
but anyway... thanks
use file explorer to go to \Windows\Startup. Rename this to \Windows\Startup-off and create a new folder Startup (now empty)
Restart.
Use align screen without problems, reverse what you did with the Startup programs.
I will bet you this works for you. One of those programs that start automatically (But do not show up in the task manager) stops your align screen from work.
disable touchflow
I've had the same problems with the screen allignment.
After disabling touch flow the problem was gone

HTC Evo logo on boot

So, I'm attempting to create a custom bootscreen for my EVO, and was trying to find out if anyone knew how to get a copy of the initial "htc EVO" logo with white background that comes up? I've gone through the file system a few times, but haven't managed to find anything in there (and I've read from other phones that it's some strange hidden file that can be changed, but I'm not looking to change it, merely to a copy of it in a readable format to incorporate it into my own bootscreen animation). Is it hard coded into the phone itself somewhere magically? Any help would be great.

It's the splash in the Rom.zip I believe. Or like said above it part of the bootloader

T-mobile stock rom boot screen annoying "Stick Together"

Hey everybody, I just recently bought a T-mobile touch pro 2 and I have to say, I love it.
Now, I switched ROM's and I did really enjoy it but I was receiving alot of issuse so I switched back and don't plan on changing again. But what I don't like is how every time I turn it on I get an annoying "Stick together" screen staring me in the face because of the t-mobile wm 6.5 stock rom.
Does anyone have any suggestion of what I could do to replace that with something alittle more stylish than a big pink square? haha
Oh, before I forget, I also uploaded Wajk's BootPackage v1.4 and I love it, but when it gets passed the diagnosis of the phone shouldn't it show the windows 7 boot? I'm just getting the standard Orange Microsoft one for WM 6.5. I was planning on doing a reg hack, but I didn't want to screw anything up. If anyone had any ideas on how to change these two settings I would greatly appreciate it.

All I did to get rid of my "Stick Together" boot screen and turn it into a black "Touch Pro2" screen was flash a WWE stock ROM. These stock ROMs replace boot screens and radio-roms.

No, the OP is referring to the Startup animation and the shutdown animation. That does solve one problem, but it still doesn's remove the beginning huge pink "Stick Together" square. I don't know where that would be located in registry but the other two images (Startup.gif and shutdown.gif) are located there.

You need HSPL to flash the custom splash screens because they're unofficial/unsigned.

Are you talking about the "Rhodium RUU"? If so, that's a common issue with anti-virus software. I have to temporarily disable by McAfee security, unzip the file, obtain the RUU, and flash. Once I re-enable my anti-virus software, it detects the RUU as a trojan. So, you will have to either make an exception, or you will have to temporarily disable your anti-virus software.
Here is the "Touch Pro 2".nbh file I came upon If you could make the second one I would greatly appreciate it. By the way, do you know how you turn on the phone and after the boot the big orange screen pops up and says "Windows" do you happen to know how to replace that as well?
That's welcomehead.192.png in the SYS. Search and replace.

Here you go!
For the orange "Windows" screen, I have a question: is it animated, or is it just a solid image?
If it's animated, I can PM you a .cab that can change it to the Windows 7 startup screen; otherwise, you can replace those with .gif files. If it's a solid image, you'll have to replace either the "welcomehead.png" or the "welcomehead.192.png" (I think the name depends on whether or not you're on a stock/custom ROM) in your phone's \Windows folder.
I remember there being a setting in Advanced Configuration Tool that lets you change these two, but I'm not sure.
Thank you very much for the files! I'll try and scrape up some money to use the HSPL, I figured out how to remove the orange "windows" screen, oddly enough I had both the welcomehead.png and welcomehead.192.png in my windows folder, I just used total commander and switched the image with another one of my choice, thanks for the help guys
Hard SPL should let you re-install it if its for the same IMEI number, had the same problem and it let me re-install onto the same handset. Only problem is if you have a new IMEI. Also you will be charged if you use the same IP address to re-install it. If you change the service provided IP then no problem... Or use a mates PC if they don't mind....

Yeah, that's the problem, I do have a new IMEI because my older phone got damaged so I returned it and got a new one, but do you think it's possible if I download Hard-SPL off of my phone and then execute it off of my computer? Or do you think I could just disconnect my Ethernet cable so the program can't detect if it's already been used or not? I mean, it could be possible yes?
