Sorry if this has been asked before.

I see thee is

hklm\software\htc\StartupAnimationEngine

in here there is a startgif and a startwav. I wold expect a sound to play on startup if i point the reg to a wavfile in the windows directory.. I tried but no sound played.

Any thoughts ?

T-Mobile Vario III

Hi,

Does anyone know how to get this working on T-Mobile MDA Vario III.

I have added the string but after soft reset it just shows the Windows Mobile gif.

Thanks

The stock 3G annimation file on the TILT is '3G Up_01_1.gif' and it is located in the Windows directory.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Fiftypercentrick:
Damn jim, you just beat me to it.. lol I was finally going to contribute..

anyway.. The sound is also similarly named.. 3g_up.wav

I'm going to mess around see if i cant get something cool going in sync with each-other.. May well post if it turns out nice.

Thanks guys

Here are the appropriate registry keys found in the AT&T stock ROM. If you want to have sound in an HTC ROM, you'd need to add "WAVFile" and "Volumn" keys.

I managed to get an audio and video file (gif and wav) file going at the same time.. but they don't sync properly.. Any suggestions to alleviate video lag?

Do these actually work, I thought animated splash screens were only available on devices such as the Artemis?

However I thought I'd give your screens a go and low and behold, ziltch, nothing, nada.

The splace screen is driven from Welcomhead96 not animation.gif?

Please explain the process fella? is this a new hack?

Read the thread?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Jim_R:
On my TILT, I do have the new gif appearing, but it runs through the animation once without looping. With the GIF I chose - the night city scene with animated water reflection, it's over in 3 or so seconds. I also tried to get a wav to play, but get no sound. Would I need to record a loop of the GIF animation playing several times myself, and substitute this new longer animation or is there a registry key for this. I haven't played much with the wav - not a big deal to me.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Sideburnt:
Genius! read the thread!! of course...., lots of people having issues on TILT, no confirmation that this works on any other model yet other than WWE custom ROM. Added the GIFFile string to my reg and placed my animated.gif in the wondows directory.

But I'm right in thinking that this wont work on T-Mobile Vario III models. (Since I guess I have just tested it and no luck).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Jim_R:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Sideburnt:
not directed at you, directed at the muppet who thought I'd replied to a thread I hadn't even read. I'm in the same boat as you though, I've gone through the motions, even making sure I've got the five files mentioned in the Artemis thread of the same(ish) name. Still tinkering around trying to get my animated.gif to run. :o/

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\StartupAnimation]
"GIFFile"="\Windows\animated.gif"

N.B. "XXX.wav" is the filename of the audio to play at boot.

===UK USERS===

I have Vodafone v1615 UK ROM.

I copied the HTC animation from here (use the ZIP file kindly provided).

I copied a wav file (SMS_Bells from Spb) to the Windows directory also.

I added the above entries (obviously no quotes needed!). - Don't play with any other settings!!!

Turned off power to device after making registry changes.

Count to 12 (gives you a nice 10 secs)

Reset (I used stylus - can't see harm in other ways)

Devices boots up - I see red vodafone splash screen, then I hear my WAV file (played REALLY quickly), then before the Windows Mobile screen (welcomehead96) I get the HTC ANIMATED logo file!

Yipeee

I hope this helps others, as the wise on this site have helped me.

Many thanks.

im trying to get this running on my Tilt, i have read throught the post, well kinda skimmed through it.

i found the stock file, and i put the new one(i like the HTC one) on my memory card and renamed it but when i try to copy the new one into the windows folder is says it cant replace the stock one.

im fairly new to modding phones, iv only messed around with a RAZR and a PSP before so im still learning.

EDIT: im on the stock AT&T Rom BTW if you havent guessed that by now
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Bloodgod:
sorry all couldn't up mine that way.

i have a few animated gifs i wanted to share
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] nyckid211:
My dude, pay attention. You probably won't be able to replace the file so just change the file name and setup the reg key to point to the renamed file.

HKLM\\Software\HTC\StartupAnimation\

GIFFile \Windows\3G Up_01_1

WAVFile \Windows\3G_Up.wav

Enabled = 1

Volumn = 50

1.rename the file anything you want and put it in your Windows folder, for example, rename it Antwan

move this Antwan.gif file to your Windows folder

2.go the the bold key change it as follows: \Windows\Antwan.gif

The string is Reg_sz:HKLM\SOftware\HTC\StartupAnimation\GIFFile . The string value should be \Windows\Antwan.gif

Hope this helps.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Grafikvirtuosity:
Thanks.

To those of you still confused, the reason for editing the registry, is because you can't delete 'animated.gif' (the default loading image) from your phone, and the only way to get your .gif to work is by editing the registry to access your image instead of the default one.

Works like a charm for me.

whats the string to override at&t image? I have AT&T logo showing up first, then i have this custom animated logo (thats doesnt animate), then i got Duttys logo (his 2k8 rom), then i finally get to my today screen. Any way to replace AT&T with custom animated? Or do i have to go through 3 logos
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] monx®:
no need to edit any registry actually. just copy to windir with name animated.gif. dont make it so complicated.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mfrazzz:
Here's a longer version of the blueish "sunrise" through the tree with the animated water. I just took the original and tripled the length of it. Still have a couple of seconds where it doesn't move, but still a nice effect (and seems to sync up with the startup_sound.wav panosha posted a couple of posts back.

I just used GIMP to duplicate the animation layers. Makes the file larger, but it still works.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mfrazzz:
The first AT&T Logo you see is the first splash screen. Only way to change that is by creating a splash screen .nbh file and then flashing it to your device (you can't just replace a reg entry or a file for this one). There is a seperate thread on creating custom splash screens. I personally changed mine to the AT&T Deathstar found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1621304&postcount=9

Just download at&t_deathstar.zip, unzip it, change the name of the .nbh file to be RUU_Signed.nbh and then drop it in a folder with the Kaiser_RUU.exe file and run it.

length of animation

how do you make these play longer rather than ending in a split second or 2?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jgdorado:
use a GIF editor and reloop it for as long as you want (via copy and paste) then save and reload into your phone.

The phone only plays through these gif's once then moves on

I do have a question...

I have 3 screens that appear during a boot. The 1st is now the ATT DeathStar (via NBH flash), the 2nd screen I've confirmed is the "3G up_01_1.gif" and its associated "3G_up.wav" file. The 3rd used to be "welcomehead.96.dng" which is the "windows" image. I say used to be because at first I could find this file but since I've flashed and reflashed some ROMs the file is no longer there by that name. However, the "windows" image still appears and this is the final image I'd like to change. Any suggestions??

Using a gif that's too short?

Hi,

I have been trying to use an animated gif of the Vista orb, but when it comes up the animation goes really quick and then I get a white screen for a few seconds until my welcomehead.96 comes on. I just dloaded one of the gif's from the beginnig of this thread, the blue/gray yin-yan, and it stays until the welcomehead comes up. Weird, would it be possible for one of you kind people to take a look at it and see what's up?

I attached it.:)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] :
Thanks for the tutorial, thanks to those who provided Tilt-specific tips, and thanks to those with startup audio tips.

I have both the animation and sound going and noticed my welcomehead.96.png file did not display if my sound played longer than the length of that second boot screen. It can be longer than the animation but not longer than the screen that holds the animation.

Not a big deal, just something I noticed.

Now I just need to flash that first splash screen and I'll be all set. I have a music-oriented sequence conceptualized and can't wait to get it all in!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] cushcalc:
Welcomehead.96.png is always there

It's "welcomehead.96.png". You can install a new one by taking any appropriate .png picture, renaming it "welcomehead.96.png", and copying it into the \Windows folder. But the original is

always

still there, in the ROM (burned in, not possible to delete) - so if you delete, or misname the picture you attempt to put in there, the original will show up again.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] cushcalc:
Copying over files that are in ROM

I do. That wasn't the point.

The point is that whenever you copy a new file over a file that is in ROM, the ROM file does not go away, it is just covered. If you deleted the file you just copied in, say a new welcomehead.96.png, the original would imediately show up again in your Windows directory - whether you are using Resco Explorer or any other file manager - I just tried it and proved it to myself - then if you try to delete

that

file, Resco says "File '\Windows\welcomehead.96.png' is in ROM memory! You cannot delete it"

Getting ready to Add Deathstar - Check me

I just downloaded the att&t deathstar zip file. I extracted the files, renamed the the att&t_deathstar.nbh original file to att&t_deathstar.RUU_Signed.nbh. I then took the KaiserCustomRUU.exe file and placed it into the same folder on my PC. I am going to run the KaiserCustomRUU with the deathstar nbh file in the same folder from my computer so it installs on my phone.

Is this correct or do I need to rename it att&t_deathstarRUU_Signed.nbh??? :confused:

SD Card - Really??

I have read that before too. So, what? You like copy the files to your micro card and then run the app from your computer through your micro card on the device. What I mean is My Computer -> Mobile Device -> My Windows Based Mobile Device -> Storage Card

Put the files in a folder on the storage card and THEN navigate to the storage card on my phone from the computer and install there?

Is there a benefit in terms of stability by copying and installing from the storage card through the computer rather than copying and installing from the computer itself? Just curious.
