Customize Splashscreen - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development

Hi folks,
I'm not sure, if this described method will work with a Himalaya too:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284006
Did someone test these steps - is it the right way ?
Btw. i've deleted the extRom with DocTool .. will it become a problem ?
Thanks

thanks for you answer, but I wasn't looking for Theme-Creation for Windows (that's what I saw in the threads).
I meant the first Boot-Splashscreens which are burned into ROM. 'Cause I got an MDAII the first 2 Splashscreens are that ugly T-Com stuff, which I want to change.
The Thread I mentioned was about Tools for Creating .nb Files and I was interested, if this would work with a himalaya too.
So long

the first line in the thread is

So... want to make Splash screens for your device? well, now you can.
USAGE:
1) dump a splash screen from an NBH with NBHExtract. (SubSplash or MainSplash will do)
2) Run the Converter program to convert the .NB to an .RSB (select VGA)
3) Run the RSB<->BMP converter to convert it to an editable BMP.
4) edit the BMP with your preferred editor however you like, but do NOT resize or rotate it (well, if you do rotate it, rotate it back after!)
5) Run the RSB<->BMP converter to convert BACK to a .RSB
6) Run the Converter to convert the RSB BACK to an NB.
7) open sample.txt and edit the two file names AFTER 600, and 601, - DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING ELSE.
8) open a command prompt at this folder and do "nbhgen sample.txt"
9) flash the RUU_Signed.nbh with the Athena updater, you MUST be running Hard-SPL (1.20.Olipro) to flash!
10) Profit. - I mean erm... done.

Good luck in waiting....by the time you get it (which will limit you to only getting HTC ROMs - as you will be CID Stuck to them), we'll be enjoying all sorts of customised stable and fast ROMs from the fastest WM6 ROM available. The reason why we got together to form the Athena Project.
The manufacturers and Service providers already have our money, do you seriously think that they will spend more money on further developing the O/S for us all....for free? When they can take that developmental progress they make and release a newer device with newer features and make millions?
I think not! This forum and in particular the Athena Project is committed to doing just that.....FREE OF CHARGE for the community.

Haha LoL. Leave me alone wgary I'm just pleased with my reborn X7500. and let's face it Platinum sounds better than Silver. hehe
Besides, think I might look into learning about ROM cooking and that 'teaser' name might just become a reality.
Think about it, WM5 network & CID locked Silver Ameo....now debranded & reborn Super CID & Sim Unlocked WM6 Platinum Edition Unleashed.....I think that qualifies it as an enhanced version of the standard X7500, plus it's a different colour...blah blah blah.
I would like to know which of these roms is the newest with windows mobile 6.I have not been as active because of work and noticed there is an upgrade but i dont know which one is suffice.

HTC Home on my x7501???
Is it possible to run the HTC Home plugin on my new x7501? I had the plugin on my upgraded TYTN, and I love it!
Also, where can I go to get good VGA themes for my device?
And last, but definitley not least... Is there anyway to get the default fonts to be smaller on my device? I already tried Settings -> Screen -> Text Size and set it to the smallest... but come-on I can still read it from across the room and that is an issue for me with regards to security of my information. Also, it would be nice to see more on the screen in general (icons and such).
Is it possible to run the HTC Home plugin on my new x7501? I had the plugin on my upgraded TYTN, and I love it!
It could be worked, just install it! If not, you can delete it. Or you can try the new pro Comm Mgr (see the 2 pics)

Ameo with T-Mobile WM6, 2.35 ROM and 1.50 radio
Hope someone can help.T-Mobile 2.35 ROM is rubbish. I am looking for the HTC7500 upgrade with the functionality of the 7500. I cannot get the unlock to work...from Olipro although it says it is unlocked. When i try to flash with the HTC ROM, i get the message 'incorrect vendor'..maybe i am just to 'new' to this thing of upgrading. I had the Dopod ROM loaded but had to re-install 3 times when i get the incorrect password lockout. HELP SOMEONE PLEASE!!!
Thank you so much for your support. Please note that the web http://www.megaupload.com/ is blocked in Saudi Arabia. Can you upload those files to different server that allow useres to download from.
Thanks.

DUMP ROM

Hey guys,
im abit outa my usual field!! I have a hermes!
I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a kitchen that works with the prophet os.nb, i need to dump and run PKGtool (if there is a prophet equivalent) but the most important thing is that i can dump the OS.nb.
I have been looking throught your forum and wiki, and they are very limited (compared to the hermes), i have google searched and found faria's kitchen, and the one in the sticky on the WM6 section but these only allow buildos.exe
I need to dump a prophet ROM so i get a DUMP folder. can anyone help me with this?

thanks for your help in advance

ROM Cooking for beginners - manual attached

Hi all,
I made this manual in order to help people like myself to better understand ROM cooking basics.
It was ment to be used for Prophet ROMs, but since it uses HyperCore Kitchen, it can be practicaly used for any WM6 ROM.
Please be free to post your comments and/or suggestions.
NOTE: This manual reffers only to "old" way of ROM cooking (first downgrading to WM5, and then flashing to WM6)
If you find it useful, please vote.
Thanks to:
Gullum (for great ROMs)
Anichillus (for great Kitchen)
Cloudyfa (for Step1 ROM)

No, thank you!! I will look into it.
me too
i like this
Thanks for your effort, this is a really good guide.
I just wanted to ask is there a difference between ROMs built this way and ROMs that we flash using new Hard/SoftSPL method.
I saw nb2nbf tool, so is it possible to just convert OS.nb file and flash it using new method or is there some more work that needs to be done?
thank you
I really need it !
Ill check it out this weekend! Seems like fun to me
I have red this guide and it is very clear, very thourough and a big help to anyone starting to cook! THANKS!!
(@ allothers that are missing some extra's: it is NOT an advanced course! So, don't complain but take an example and publish your own knowledge and experience this way. Then everyone can benefit)
Initiatives like these are giving back the original gaoal of this website, it isn't called "xda-developers" for nothing.
Perhaps someone can make a tutorial for skinning standard OS-parts (commanager, dialer, calculator, etc...) Or how to translate your favorite ROM to your own language?
you can't use this way to create XIP from Shadow's ROM, Crystal V5. ROM or from Korand's ROM.
If someone can make this XIP.. Could anyone share the file...
with that file. I can make a new ROM based on new OS..

Never flashed any of these ROMs you specified - so if their XIPs can't be dumped using Dump XIP tool from the HyperCore Kitchen, than I won't bother with them. Let me add that ROM cooker can also remove RGU files from ROM before posting, making it very difficult for someone to modify it. Then I'll skip such ROM too.
But...
FACTS
- This manual was intended for beginners.
- When you are a beginner in ROM cooking you don't like to be confused, but want it all to be clear to you before you do anything to your expensive device.
- I see that you are using modified Touch ROM, which can be dumped with this method.
- I also use modified Touch ROM, but I will not post it - there is enough good ROMs out there already
Cheers!
Hi All - my first post
Thanks for this Phnikola, I'm brand new to all this (smartphone) stuff and need a place to start. Looks good so far.
My TC500 never was in the shops, has no support and no official upgrade path (hmmm...) but there are a few cunning points concerning SIP and home landline "awareness" in the original ROM I'd like to take with me up into WM6.1 (got Cloudyfa's Shadow 2.0 TE ready to go).
Any1 have any good advice for me?
Thanks again

Yes it does, but you don't have to cook your own ROM. Just wonder around a bit on this forum and pick a ROM that suits you.

Win Mobile 6.1 for Atome Life...

ok i think many many many of us might be having this query in our minds but no one (surprisingly) has asked this question yet...
it all made sense that ppl were asking for WM6 ROM ports for the Atom life when actually there was an official ROM....
(PPL said it didn make sense... and yes i very much agree that it sure didnt)
but recently i saw the WM Kernel 6.1 Demo and have been in love wit ever since....
Will any of the great souls of this forum be PORTING the WM6.1 to the ATOM LIFE any time Soon...?
Forgive me if this question has been asked befor (i searched for it in this section but failed)

it's actually for SP not PPC. see this thread
let's pray for it
it seems that the demo is for SP only but it seems down right STU**D for MS to not release the Update for the PPC... the latter being the high end in both hardware and OS...
so i'm pretty sure that it is in the offing in the not so distant future ;-)
m8 and i found this screenshot from one of the BA ROMs posted in the respective forum sections...
what bout this is it some srta joke..?
I dont think PDAViet group makes fun of themselves anyway.
But you never know there are ways to change the build and version number.
unless there is a better verification rather than just build number, it's just gonna be hard. Maybe someone could be check some of dll file version

I have ported the new wm6.1 to atom life ,and it run quite stable and the speed is faster than wm6.
but It has two bugs:1.I have ported the wm6.1 XIP to life except 3 files,so the XIP version could't show properly
2.wm6.1 implement new sms program,and if you use the reset button
to restart the phone,then your lately sms and phone record will lose,so the only solution is using some software to soft-rest the phone.
the download link is here:http://www.pdaclan.com/thread-6318-1-1.html
this version is chinese version,and I HOPE someone can translate it to english or maybe IF i Have spare time I will do it.
THANKS FOR reading my poor english.
Nice ROM
How did you change the bootscreens ? If I extract the original screens from XIP, I only can open it with Windows Paint.
I never figured out how to change them.
It looks good and seems fast, but unfortunately I can't read chinese.
What's the difference between the first al1.dio and the new one ?

wow! I spoke too soon!!! hehehehehe. well, if it's true that WM6.1 is out already, there is no need to rush things and jump to 6.1 this early. IMO there are still some bugs to be fixed in our WM6 right we can then finalize WM6 first, to become very fast and stable. before leaping into WM6.1 that i'll bet a grand full of bugs! hehehehe

Change the bootscreens is easy,and I hope you can understand what I explain:1.as you said,you should extract the original screens from XIP,2.you should EDIT IT using photoshop,you can open two files,one is the bootscreens file ,the other is the one you want to be your
bootscreens,and then you should copy the other image then paste it to the bootscreens file,3.when all these is done,you can merge Layer of the bootscreens file and make sure that the file size is 153,672byes,and then you can replace the file in XIP and use xipport to build the new XIP.
the difference between the first al1.dio and the new one is the first has implement the new xip from the original 9000 wm6.1 rom ,but it couldn't show the version numbers:5.2.19195,instead, it show 5.2.18120.Meanwhile,it's pure edition, THE new one's XIP is from the p800 wm6.1 ROM,but I think the XIP is faked because I have compare it to the 18538 XIP and found out most of the files are the same.but THE new one can show the version numbers:5.2.19195.That's it.
QQ108108, are you okay?
I'm trying to translate, without success, your ROM, but I'm a noobie and need.

It's easy to get the original bootscreen,just use xipport to dump the original XIP,then you will find BootScr.bmp in /out/files,and the method to replace the new image in XIP I have explain in the previous post.
I think that it's not the same as Atom/Atom Exec,because I can't find anything like image files in Atom/Atom Exec XIP.
BTW,TO my atom life,replacing the new image in xip do not need to EDIT nk.exe/S000.

so i thiought a dump wassnt nesecary any more
Hi, i got a dutch Iolite and right now i am trying to find out how to swap to an english ROM. But somehow it is quite difficult to find kind of a step-by-step explanation in this board.
I guess before trying any kind of flashing action i should first dump the ROM I have installed, to go back in any case.
So i downloaded those ITSutils but procread just crashes with a 'RAPI.dll was not found" error. Well, i will check for that later in the board, but in general... What should i do to dump the ROM?
I am supposed to plug it to a pc via usb? If so, using which drivers? Do i need to open that windows mobile cd i got with the phone?
Because if i would not need it, i would keep it closed until I decided wether to keep the phone (in english) or to sell it again when it has to stay in dutch.
Thanks for any help, because I really did not find what i was looking for within the wiki or that board so far. thanks
I find this topic very confusung too! :-/
For maybe being of help for other people:
- the RAPI.dll not found error is gone, when Active Sync 4.5 is installed at the host-computer, then there are also no further drivers needed
- smartphone has to be attached via usb in the activesync mode
The thing is this:
Nobody explains that right!!!!!!
Sorry maybe i'm a fool!!!!
I think is more easy wait a original ROM upgrade from HTC......

The real interresting question here must be; how to backup / dump my existing ROM to .nbh?
That way it wouldent be so scary to try the different custom roms here, and allso it would be very easy to share our ROM's.
Dump it to RAW, then use "Visual EviusKitchen" - ExtraButtons - Raw2NBH
Dumping programm: HERE
Kitchen U find in forum too, must use sefu
