The screen should be a 320x320 96dpi .png, with preferrably no text at the bottom edges, so it looks good in portrait or landscape.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] festermania:
This mine...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] rkorzuch:
How do you change the splash screen? I have created a new splash screen and named it welcomehead.96.png but my phone will not let me overwrite the existing file. I checked the properties of the existing file and it is set read only and I am not able to change it. Any ideas?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] festermania:
Go here

Download Hermes_SplashScreen_Pack.zip

Follow the istructions:

Create a BMP file in paint, size must be 240x320.

Save it as BMP 24bit.

Load it on nb_image_converter.exe and save it as splash.nb

open a cmd.exe command prompt on the folder where you saved your splash

run this command

copy /b splash.nb+padding.nb finalsplash.nbFilesize of "finalsplash.nb" should be exactly 262144 bytes.

Put hermes in bootloader mode (side ok + power button + softreset)

Connect Hermes to computer using USB cable.

Open mtty.exe, select "USB" from the dialog box, then hit Ok.

Hit enter twice and you'll see the "USB>" prompt.

Then type these commands: (note the use of 'lnb', without 's')

For first splash screen (MainSplash):

USB> task 32

USB> lnb finalsplash.nb 500e0000

USB> task 8For Second splash screen (SubSplash):

USB> task 32

USB> lnb finalsplash.nb 50140000

USB> task 8Reboot your device and watch your nice boot screen :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] richy240:
That's for a boot screen, not the OS splash screen. Notice he mentioned welcomehead.96.png...

Just drop the PNG file in the Windows directory before you rebuild your NB file. The updated welcomehead.96.png will take effect. You can also just overwrite this file on your current flash (i.e. no reflashing the device is necessary) by placing your new PNG file in the \Windows directory; I've tested this myself.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] rkorzuch:
i tried placing the new PNG file in the Windows Directory on the phone but it will not let me overwrite the existing file. Do I have to do this in the ROM before I flash it to the phone?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ChaoticDruid:
Hi, Im pretty sure if you browse your device within active sync, and replace the file that way, it should overwrite, its been awhile since I really used active sync, and it wasn't the latest version, so don't take my word for it.

But yeah I use resco explorer myself, and just copy/paste/overwrite, after I have made a backup of the original.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] rkorzuch:
Thank You. Resco Explorer allowed me to overwrite the file. All is good.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] eagle 1:
okay, here's a few stupid ones...Especially like the last one!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] richy240:
Keep in mind that only 240px of the width will display during boot time, unless you've got your device in Landscape mode, in which case the displayed resolution will be 320px wide by 240px tall. That's why this is a 320px x 320px file.

I guess what I'm saying is that you're gonna have to redesign your images, or they'll look stupid. Sorry, not trying to be mean - it's just constructive criticism.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] stoo:
Here are a few I whipped together. Hope they are useful to people.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] stoo:
It compressed them and changed the dimensions so I've put them in a zip file:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] .VIBE:
woohoo stoo! I like the vista one!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mxlaser:
My vote for Stoo's #2 one, the vista one. Very clean, nice and professional looking.

The existing one isnt that bad, the XDA text is a little large, hence liking the vista one as its still got the XDA live but more professional looking...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ChaoticDruid:
#2 is nice, I agree.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] stoo:
Seeing as the vista style seems to be best received I've created another two. Again, hope they're useful.

And thanks for the complements guys.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] shandar:
stoo, the last two you posted are great! I'm not a big fan of the circle Microsoft added to the Vista logo so I'd go for the second one you just posted, but wow those look good!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] festermania:
here 320x320
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] stoo:
Thought I'd add a today theme too so here you go. It has different pictures for landscape and portrait orientations and works best when the tray isn't visible but here it is:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] .VIBE:
wow stoo, that looks really good!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] SkizZO:
Hey Guys, i've made a bootscreen. I really like it, but i don't want to flash my phone just for a bootscreen, perhaps if you like it, you can include into the next relase of xda live (if you want to correct/change something or just add XDA relase number, just ask me).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] richy240:
Did you make this? Nice theme, but why don't you bump that logo up so it isn't covered by the system tray? That would be ideal!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] stoo:
Well it depends what you mean by "make". I blatantly plagiarised the images from Microsoft but other than that I made it. I don't usually have anything in the system tray so it works for me but I'll change it when I have the time, probably tomorrow.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] richy240:
Yeah, that's what I meant. If the tray icons didn't cover the logo text, I'd probably make this my new default theme. And even if not, I'll probably use it for a couple days.

If that were fixed, I could even see this getting embedded into a ROM or two! Nice theme!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Kangle:
I was bored, so I made a picture. Im not sure if the picture size is right ... I actually dont think it is. Maybe somebody can resize it for me if they like it and want to use it. (?) And I dont know how to do thumbnails ... sorry.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] simonk12:
it's kinda cool actually...though the windows logo really doesnt fit :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] stoo:
Here you go, sorted it so that it isn't covered by the system tray. Hope you do use it, that would be great.

Any comments are welcome
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Pawel062:
stoo love the today theme! any chance of a dark blue version like the 750A theme?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] stoo:
What are you referring to by the 750A theme? If you show me what it looks like I could probably give it a shot for you.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] jasjamming:
Just get rid of the Win Logo and it is pretty cool. It will make an interesting spash screen.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kassper:
Good job. The windows symbol seems a little out of place though, if it had a transparent background it would look a lot better.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ZaJules:
Yea I second that. But make the Win Logo in black and white to match the old image.

Nice Work.

Now about we gat a cut-off time within 12 hours from this post and then if mixmaven could be so kind as to create a Poll thread with images of all the canidates we could run the poll for 24 hours.

I'll put the winner in as the default splash screen (welcomehead.96.png) but alo I'll make a page for all of the submissions (like I did for the Today Screen Themes) so you can download the one you like if your favorite didn't win.

Also, how about some XDA Live today Themes???

This is the best one I've seen, and the one I'm currently using.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kyphur:
Works for me.

On the themes, If we don't get any more I'll embed the 'Vista' inspired one and the 'Black' one as "WMXL Areo" & "WMXL Black" respectively

Shouldn't you make sure that all of the splash screens work in landscape as well as portrait? I can see a couple on there that wouldn't.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mixmaven:
The winning splash screen should be 320x320, however space simply could be added as necessary. I would guess that 90% of devices are booted in portrait. I will contact the winner to submit the correct size in png format. If they cannot, then the second place winner is contacted.

I used the 240 by 320 images to save room.

I liked your Black Vista (#6 in last group, #4 on post 1) splash so much that I immediately flashed it. Especially cool is how the Windows logo seems to light up from behind when my TyTN is going through the backlight tests...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] eagle 1:
Also, while the pic should be 320 x 320, remember that the writing, logo and picture should fit in the 240 x 240 so all can be seen in either landscape or portrait.....

I have made this thread so I can tell you guys some features which I think some people don't know.....

1. In camera app if you long press the screen you get two circles i.e. one for focusing and other for adjusting exposure..

View attachment 3045788

2. Stock huawei keyboard is pretty awesome and its Swype feature is very accurate.Some people find it lagging.If you long press the Swype button...and go to settings then disable the pop up option and you will notice that keyboard is quite useful and accurate.You can also download your local language by going into language tab...

View attachment 3045784

3. If you swipe your finger on home screen from top towards bottom.....a tool will open which is actually a search tool and you will find it pretty useful....instead of finding apps you can just type some letters of that app and can save your time also...

View attachment 3045786

4.If you long press the task switcher button (square) you will directly go to the last app you were using ...

5.Some people may have trouble finding the guest mode..so you can find that mode by going into settings> security> privacy protection..

Tell me if you find these tricks useful or not.....:) :D

swype keyboard

hi,

is there any way to disable the word-suggestion-bar (found at the top of the keyboard)?

I own an SGS4 (Touchwiz) and have it with me since its first day of release, I find Huawei's EmotionUI superior to Touchwiz, but I also miss some feature a lot, and wish that Huawei had implemented them in their UI:

1- In the contacts app, I am not able to merge contacts as easy as in touchwiz.

2-In the dialer, when touching a recent call log in the dialer it will dial that contact instantly (in touchwiz it will give you a small contact card, with the option to message or call all numbers associated to that contact).

3- Too small contact picture.

4- lock screen: in touchwiz, when you get a notification (message, missed call), it will show in the lock screen above the pin number pad, touching the notification will bring focus on the pin number pad, if you then unlock the phone, it will take you directly to the message or phone dialer...this feature saves a few steps, but is not available in EUI.

5- Homescreen/app menu: Rounded squares icons does not look nice on many app icons.

6- Camera: I prefer the camera app in SGS4, for example I used to be able to take a picture using the front facing camera and backside camera (picture inside picture).

As previously stated, the HAM7 is a superior phone to SGS4 and even SGS5, IMO: fingerprint sensor is great and very well placed (at the backside), I think this is the best place to put this sensor in. I love the fact that there is not much Huawei bloatware, the EUI launcher has the best of two worlds (iOS and Android)...

I wish Huawei all the best, I am strong supporter for them now, as I am satisfied with my HAM7.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] vince_junior:
Same question about the suggestion bar in swype keyboard. But I looked so hard in the sqype settings and there is no option to disable it. Unless you use another keyboard.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] belal_se:
yeah, same here, it seems there is no option to disable the word suggestion bar...but the Huawei Swype keyboard is so awesome, and I want to keep using it...
[Ascend Mate 7 General] hannanzikrea:
For merging contacts click menu button in contacts then go to settings > merge duplicate contacts

For showing new messages on your lock screen go to settings> security> untick the option "Disable huawei unlock"

In dialer if u click on info sign located to extreme right of contact name...there you have option to either message or call the contact etc..

Hope this helps.:)
[Ascend Mate 7 General] belal_se:
the merging feature in EMUI does not give you the option to manually merge contacts, it will choose for you, and out of 1000 contact it will show only 5 contacts to merge, while in fact I want to merge almost 100 contact.

and that info sign is too small :)

I will try to enable the Huawei lock screen, but I think I will not like having to unlock two unlock screens each time.

One additional thing I noticed, is that icons for apps like facebook do not have notifications (i.e. that little number on upper corner of the icon that tells you how many FB notifications)
[Ascend Mate 7 General] TheKaptone:
i ilikw all the little tips there thanks for that ,I however find the look of the Huawei Swape keyboard not very nice and therfore hard to use , i have stuck with the stock Android keyboard which is nice as well but i will perhaps give it another go to see if i get used to it
