==============================================================================

Step by Step instructions on how to create your custom splash screen

for the Diamond and Rafael windows mobile.

==============================================================================

Step 1: Create your image

-

Choose, find or create the image you would like to have as your splash screen.

Use your image editor (photoshop is my choice) to adjust your image.

The size of the picture needed for the splash is 640x480 72dpi.

Save it as (24 Bit) (bmp) in folder (2-bmp to rsb to bmp).

goto Step 2.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 2: Convert your image from *.bmp to *.rsb

-

Run rsbbmp.exe in folder (2-bmp to rsb to bmp).

Click on [Add Files] and choose your bmp.

Click on [Convert All]

Your image has now been cloned and converted to rsb format.

Move or copy your rsb file to folder (3-rsb to nb).

goto Step 3.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 3: Convert your image from *.rsb to *.nb

-

Run Splash-RSB Converter.exe in folder (3-rsb to nb)

Choose VGA (640x480) then press [Convert].

Choose your rsb and save it in folder (4-patchsplashv0.1) click on [Done]

goto Step 4.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 4: Patch your image file.

-

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Remember, patchsplash.exe is a command line tool. If you run the program by double

clicking on it a cmd window will open showing you examples of the command line you

will need to type to patch your *.nb that is all.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First, open the folder (4-patchsplashv0.1) in Windows file explorer. Copy the

address found at the top of the explorer window.

example: D:\PDA\HTC\splash\4-patchsplashv0.1

On Windows, Start Menu->Run... Click on Run then paste the address you copied

from win explorer then type the rest of the line needed for patching.

My example:

D:\PDA\HTC\splash\4-patchsplashv0.1\patchsplash R YOURFILENAME.nb YOURFILENAME_P.nb

\patchsplash R YOURFILENAME.nb YOURFILENAME_P.nb -> Rafael

\patchsplash D YOURFILENAME.nb YOURFILENAME_P.nb -> Diamond

Press enter and you're done!

A cmd.exe window will pop up telling you the process is complete.

REMEMBER

The first part of my example "D:\PDA\HTC\splash\4-patchsplashv0.1\"

is what I copied from win explorer.

"I" then move the new "_P.nb" file to the folder (5-nb to nbh) so not to

confuse it with the unpatched file.

goto Step 5.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 5: Create the *.nbh for flashing

-

Run NBHutil.exe in the (5-nb to nbh) folder.

Note: (the NBHUtil.xml file has to be in the same folder as NBHUtil.exe).

On first tab 'Build NBH', in the 'Target Device' list, choose "Diamond" or "Rafael"

located ad the bottom of the list.

On the right side, you have the "NBH Items". Click on the [...] button for "Splash".

An "Open" window pops up. Locate and select the .nb file that you just created.

Press [Build NBH!]

Type a file name and save!

This will create a .nbh file in the location you chosen. ((5-nb to nbh) folder by default)

goto Step 6.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 6: Flash your NEW Splash Screen!!!

-

I personally like to create a new folder for my newly created .nbh files.

In each folder I have my (*.nbh) and a copy of (RaphaelCustomRUU.exe).

In this way I can quickly flash which ever splash screen I want without any extra effort.

Create a folder. Place your new .nbh and a copy of RaphaelCustomRUU.exe in the folder.

Run RaphaelCustomRUU.exe, follow the instructions and you will have a new splash screen!

Enjoy! ;)
