Splash Screens

[Guest kidd.kaio]

I followed the FAQ on here on how to make a home screen to modify one i had but didn't like 100%. It worked really well. A lot better than the one on Microsoft's site. But the splash screens i told it to display aren't showing up.

It does the regular Motorola splash. But no carrier splash on startup. And no splash at all on shutdown. The files are there and the registry keys are pointing to them.

What could be the problem? Any advice would be most appreciated.

the most likely is spelling mistakes - but without any examples it would be hard to say for sure. Perhaps posting the relevant section of the .inf file you created would shed some light on the problem, also what the images you are trying to use are called?

i don't have any place to upload pics but i attached a screen shot of smartione looking at the splash screen registriy keys.

and explorer looking at the pics stored on the phone.

if its a spelling error i'm going to feel really dumb. but maybe i've just been looking at it too long and can't see it. let me know if you see any blatant errors. thanx.

that's how I do it, and I've not had any trouble. Slightly different to yours so maybe give that a go.
