Is there a reason it has to be a bitmap it loads surely any image file should be ok. Then we could have animation in gifs etc
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] jcaron:
You can load gif, bmp, jpg and so on with this tool. But I convert the picture into a single bmp. So no animation possible. Also I believe it is not possible for the first splash screen.

If you want you only can have an animated gif, when windows starts (animated.gif in windows folder - if the tool from HTC is installed).

[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] LlamaV3:
sorry if this is a dumb question, but which tool do you need to have the animated second splash screen?
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] jcaron:
So again and again... The animated screen (e.g. HTC Logo in b&b 3.7) is NOT the second splash screen. It is a boot gif from windows. It is based on a tool from HTC. You can find the gif in the windows folder (animated.gif). Just choose any paint pogram and creat your own animated gif (e.g. ULEAD GIF Animator) and replace the animated.gif with your own one...

[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] laramiller:
Where can I found the SPL information on my device? (It doesn't comes up on splash screen...) My phone is CID unlocked (it have been done by imei-check). Do I even have to USPL?

I would like to eliminate the operator splash screen, not strike it for some other. So, when windows starts, only the HTC boot screen and the wellcomehead screen will be showed. Is it possible? Thanks.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] laramiller:
Running the app, I'd discovered my device's SPL: 2.24.0000, and the IPL is 2.24.0002. (ok, but I even wanna know where can it be found on the phone!) And, unfortunatelly, it didn't work for me (YET). For now, this message is showed: "Error[270]: update error. The image file is corrupted. Please, check your Update Utility." Any idea?? Thanks!
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] TryOG:
I don't think your CID is unlocked...

Just use USPL (Copy & Install Cert_SPCS.cab and EnableRAPI.cab to/on your device before installing USPL) and after that try to flash the splash screen.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] jcaron:
Yes you need also USPL. I tried it with my device - it was also unlocked by imei-check - and it does not work... So use USPL first. Then it should work.

Search the forum for the cab file. There is one... But it is still beta. Or ask Tom - maybe he has a package ready because it is included in his B&B.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] jcaron:
Sorry no chance!

And again for everybody:

The ARTEMIS has only ONE SPLASH SCREEN! in the ROM!!!

The always as second splash screen mentioned animated gif is a special program from HTC. Search the forum for the cab file! Or if it is already installed on your device just change the animated.gif in the windows folder.

The last picture is the welcomehead.96.png from Microsoft in the windows folder. Just change it...

What is USPL

Sorry for my ignorance...

But i'm a french people...

could you explain what is it "USPL" ???

Thanks for reply...:D
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] MaskedMarauder:
Most Artemis devices of one form or another come with a 'secure' area that the device vendor writes their security code to. Once their code is in there you can not flash anything to the ROM area except firmware digitally signed by them.

The USPL program written by Pof, a forum user, temporarily overwrites that area of flash memory that the security code resides in allowing you to write any firmware to your device, not just firmware that is signed by your vendor.

Without Pof's USPL the ROMs cooked by people like Tom Codin would be of no use to the majority of users, something that often seems to go overlooked.

No problem - the tool can also load png files. Just try before... So it is not too bad! Also there is no compression! It will only resize the image to fit to the screen if the image has the wrong size.

To get best results just create a picture at correct size (320x240), correct resolution (96) and use bmp format.

It is not a painting program...
