I'm due to get my KJAM in a matter of 5 hours, and man, is the countdown painstakingly sloooooooooooow....
Anyway, has anyone managed to change the splash screen(s)? I don't know if it's one or two, or if it's the same filenames as the previous HTC models that need to be replaced.
Someone please let me know so at least I could start Photoshopping...

I see all these instruction for editing splash screens and converting them to a format the Wizard can handle, but I just want a simple way; I'd like to get a ready-made splash screen that I could just upload to my device and overwrite the current splash screen.
My current splash screen is a stupid picture of a beer mug and I want to change it to something that looks more "Windowish" (you know, it might have clouds or bubbles and stuff and reads Windows or something like that on the screen). Please let me know where to get one and what directory to place it in on my Wizard. You can also send the splash screen file to my email if that's not too much of a hassle.
Thanks!

You should use the search function.
There is a very simple way described few posts down.
Really? Well thanks for letting me know the link
In other words, I still couldn't find it

check it out, haven't tried myself yet.
I download Smaato News and when I did I lost the blue Windows Logo Screen on boot-up. It now is a blank white screen before loading my theme. How can I get the Blue Windows Logo back? Is there something I need to do in the registry? I have the T-Mobile MDA (USA)
Same thing happened when I installed pRSSReader. I've never found a solution to it, the image for the splashscreen is still in the windows dir.
Search for "splash screens". It's just the welcomehead.96.png file in \windows\

Hi,
I'm working for Smaato and we never experienced that problem before. Maybe it's some interaction with the T-mobile branding software on the device. We will try to reproduce this with our developers and come back to you.

Hmm, i have this logo in my windows folder, but it never pops up on start... actually i use preowned one, which came with tmobile splash, then i changed it to my own logo, then got surprised if remainded after hard reset, and one more time got really stunned when i heard that actually there are 2 splash screens... how is it in the end? 2 splash screens, then windows logo? if so, why does mine show only one screen? (i used awizard to change splash, but it just changed it - before and now i used to have just one logo screen)... silly but annoying, i'd like to know the answer ;]] thanks alot;]
Same thing with me. I am not sure what caused it. But from last few weeks I am having the same issue. Somehow my splash screen(windows welcome) is skipped while restarting. Any clue?
FYI- I am using pssReader too.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks -nbhor
I guess I found the trick.
Simple just get rid of the pssReader and your splash screen is back. Worked for me.
Thanks -nbhor
Hey i have a Cingular 8125 running faria's 3.3 WM5 and its a G4 device thats unlocked via request unlocked code from cingular. I wanna change the cingular splash screen. How do I go about doing this and what are some cool splash screens?
I have 2 splash screens... when the phone initially boots up it has the cingular logo. right after that its the WM6 style Faria 3.3 splash
If you want to change your splash screens then check out this post:

Has all the steps and the tools you need to do this, and the process is very easy.
As for splash screens themselves, you'll just have to look around. I've got a number of them I've downloaded from various places. I just found a topic in the Hermes area this morning where they are doing a splash screen contest for a WM6 ROM called Black. Some of the screens are very cool (intended for the theme of the Black ROM), but then they get very graphic in that topic (you may not want to be reading that topic on your screen if your boss or co-worker walks in on you). There is 47 pages currently in the topic but I snagged a number of screens from the first 10 or so pages (before it went to very sexual screens that I have no interest in for a phone I use in business).

BTW: there are actually 3 splash screens. If I remember correctly Cingular uses the same Cingular logo one for the first two screens (so only appears as one screen). The first screen is only up for a few seconds, and then the second splash screen is the one where the IPL/SPL and other numbers appear in the upper left. The 3rd splash screen is really just a .png file in your WIndows folder (so that one is changed easily).

What do you mean by bricked? Take your battery out and leave it out for 5 mins. Then put it back in and turn the power on while holding down the camera key. DO you get to the bootloader ("rainbow") screen?
Also when you did the steps did you verify that the file sizes were all correct just like the guide says? The guide is clear that you can't have too elaborate of an image or the filesize will be too big (which could cause a brick).

No problem. Just trying to figure out if its really bricked or if its just not able to boot (two very different things).
If you haven't seen it, look at this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
It has steps to get into the bootloader and flashing back to an official rom or the Wizard Love rom. Has G4 specific information and links to the roms and stuff.
Is it possible to get that boot animation for winmo?
example attached
Yes, you just make the gif and set it as your startup animation using advanced config.
did that. it booted then the screen went blank till it fully booted. does it need to be the exact same resoulution as my topaz? and is there a size limit for the animation. and does anyone know of a good freeware animation program?

It should be 480x800 to display properly.
Not sure about exact size perameters but if it is too long it will not play. Sometimes it takes several attemtps to get it right.
what length should i keep it around?

I don't know exactly but my animation plays about 15-20 slides.
Also, play with the timeouts in AC, I had an issue where mine didn't work after I flashed a new ROM, but I finally got it working again by messing around with the network screen timeout.
ok I got it to somewhat work. it loads my animation but for some reason it flickers like but still plays at a good speed.any ideas?
REQ: Nexus One boot animation
Does anyone have the GIF/video file to share here, I'm not sure where to find it to do my own conversion, ideally not a dodgy YouTube video, looking for quality here!
Many thanks in advance to whoever does share.

Your best bet would be to ask around in the android and nexus one threads
Heres a couple animations I edited into 480*800 a short one and a long one. No matter what I use the screen still flickers on my topaz but the animation looks fine on my computer.
Nexus One
here just rename if you must
Man if you perfect this that would be so tight. I will even donate.
Or like a windows logo breaking like a window and having the linux penguin piss on it. lol
Is there anyway to change the initial HTC logo screen that displays prior to the boot animation?
