A little contribution for the third splash screen...

Here is my work :

All in .png format, 240x320 pix, rename it welcomehead.96.png and paste it in the windows directory.

I've tried to keep the TyTN II'spirit ~smart'n'pro !

;-)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] arimus:
I did as you sugested but it does not work, I created a new file put it in the windows directory, now i have two files there by the same name, I try to delete the original one but i get an error its a ROM file can not be deleted, and when I start my device the original still boots up instead of the new one, any sugestions to do it the easy way ?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RemE:
You can't have two file with the same name so something must be different (unless the 2nd one has a (2). I found that I had to use resco file explorer to change the original welcomehead file's attributes and remove the "read-only" flag. Then I was able to copy over it with my own splash .png files.

Also the welcomehead files "should" be 320x320 to give you a correct image if booting in landscape but I never boot this way and I imagine others don't either.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RemE:

welcomehead.96 read only

I got Resco File Explorer, I went to the windows directory and changed welcomehead.96.png to read only, but it doesn't stick. It immediately reverts back to read only. So, I can't copy the new file in.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] smittyofdhs:
copy the new file from your PC to the 'My Document' folder on the Tilt. Then on Tilt, copy (or move) the file from the "MY Docs" folder to the \windows directory. You get a prompt ot overwrite, say yes to that, then you will get a second warning about the file being replaced is a ROM file, say OK to this too....

Thanks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] bengalih:
Hey I have a question about this.

I was flashing multiple ROMs before and everytime I flashed, the boot image would change.

For instance, if I flashed the AT&T test rom the boot image would show the AT&T logo with the words *TEST ONLY* on it. If i would flash to another ROM, it would go back to the normal AT&T (without the *test only*).

Then I flashed with the deathstar boot image...great...worked...no issues.

But, when i reflashed that AT&T test ROM it left the deathstar image and didn't reflash the *TEST ONLY* one.

Does anyone know why this is? They apparently would change from ROM to ROM before I did a custom flash, but now it just stays on the deathstar.

If I wanted to allow the ROM to flash it's own image back, how can I do this?

thx
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] P1Tater:
Usually when someone/the chef wants to add their own image. It can be built with the rom/radio/splash or whatever using the HTC rom tool. I think I answered your question. I think.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] bengalih:
Hmm...no i don't think so.

Why did I have the original AT&T boot image with my stock tilt and why did it change to the * TEST ONLY * image when I flashed the test image? And why did they keep switching back and forth when i switched ROMS?

It would seem to me that these ROMS had a boot image included that properly installed upon flashing.

So, my question then is after flashing my own image, why do these ROMs no longer load their own images when flashed?

If I wanted to return my tilt I would need to find the default boot image and reflash it separately, since just reflashing my orignal ROM leaves my "death star" image.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] P1Tater:
Some roms dont include a splash. Some do.

For instance, Dutty 99% of the time includes a splash, therefore it changes the one you flashed. Same goes for the test roms. They always include a splash. I have never dumped a test rom and it not have a splash.

However, some of the chefs dont include a splash so if you already have a splash it wont change if you splash their rom.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] bengalih:
It's possible I got my ROMs confused, but I am 99% sure that since I flashed my "death star" I have reflashed both a Dutty's that came with a Splash (4/16 I believe) and my AT&T Test ROM. In both cases the "death star" remained.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] P1Tater:
Hmmmmmmm. Now you got me stumped and wanting to go on a flashing spree.

I used to change my splash all the time, however it seemed a waste because I change roms so much that it would always change.

For instance, I changed my splash about a week ago and the tried L26 new rom and it changed my splash to the smart mobility splash.

Now, Im trying out a beta and it changed my splash again.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] bengalih:
Maybe something got corrupted on mine? I don't know...next time I need to flash I'll try a couple out and see what happens again. I'll let you know.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] P1Tater:
I'll do the same.:)

I grabbed a couple Nintendo wallpapers from a quick search that would look pretty good when chopped down. The only thing is, I think it might look cool if 'mobile' or 'mobile 6.1' were added in. My graphics editing abilities stop at MSPaint so if one of you more graphically inclined members has a little free time, maybe you could give it a go? I can resize them easily enough, but MSPaint+the Pretendo font looked horrible as I have no way (or skill) to make it blend in and look like the words belong there.

From the moment I saw it I just loved it :D

Next day, obviously inspired by yours, I have created few of my own "BIOS-alike" splash screens, but all of them are too personalized to be published here ;)

However I have made yesterday a "generic" version for somebody, so in the spirit of giving back to community here it is:

as usual,

extract files from ZIP archive,

run KaiserCustomRUU (attached)

and follow the instructions.

enjoy :)

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] getsome831:
-888-: So if i were to want to do a little personalizing of my own...any tips?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] -888-:
You mean "personalizing" like I added owner's name, phone/email etc to the boot screen?

It is fairly simple if you're not afraid to flash your phone.

The "main splash" (the one that starts very first) is just a static picture that has to be loaded into ROM.

Steps/tools:

1 Create bitmap 240x320 with Paint.exe or whatever ;)

2 Convert to .nb with nb image converter

3 Inflate it to 256kb with patcher aka splash tool

4 Make .nbh with HTCRT

5 Flash it to your phone with CustomKaiserRUU

that's all,

you just got your own splash screen in the ROM

(I always use my name and contact email/phone number there on the splash screen, because if I lose my phone and even if someone who'll find it don't want to return it and will hardreset it - my name and info will still be there on the splash boot screen :D only flashing the phone with new ROM or flashing new splash can remove it, hehe)

IIRC Pof (or someone else) has made excellent tutorial somewhere here on xda about a year ago, so if you need detailed guidance just search for "custom splash screen" and follow instructions there, there is no need for me to repeat it here.

If you want nice "continuity" in your "splash party" like I have on my phones, you should use the same bitmap as a start frame of your animated.gif (of course converted to GIF) and make it "transform" into the welcomehead.96.png (converted to GIF) as a last image of your animation. It will look great if you give it some work and have some good idea what should be displayed there ;)

This is the standard way "splash party" happens:

Turn on the phone:

--> (1) Splash bitmap from ROM -->

--> (2) \Windows\animated.gif

and

--> (2) \Windows\StartUpSound.wav -->

(both play together, so match the length of your audio with the length of your animation)

--> (3) welcomehead.96png -->

--> Today screen (you can even use matching wallpaper here for continuity...)

there are also operator logos that can be added to be displayed between (2)animated and (3)welcomehead (as some carriers do) but its just useless bull**** prolonging phone's boot IMHO.

To have flawless "continuity" the trick is to match the last "screen" of previous display with the first screen of next displayed picture.

So, the bitmap from ROM-loaded splash screen (the very first one) have to be the first frame of GIF animation in the animated.gif where you lead it with transformations into last frame that should look like your last display in welcomehead.96.png, I don't know am I clear enough (english isn't my 1st language) so I hope you follow my train of thought here.

Anyways, your imagination is all you need in creating nice continuus boot "splash party" ;)

HTH & good luck.

/edit

If you have problem creating your own splash and want my "BIOS-alike" with addition of your name/contact info/whatever you want there, then just PM me, I may make it for you when I'm not busy at work (which most of the time I'm not LOL)

I have Albert as the splash,startup anim, background and s2u anim wallpaper on my Tilt at the moment.

As time permits, I will try some other face materials on the head mesh etc. Maybe a halloweeny theme.

I kept it simple with black background to help reduce size and rendering time, plus I hate a busy wallpaper.
