Guest Paul (MVP) Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 You can't do that easily.... it's set in ROM. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bongmaster Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 You can't do that easily.... it's set in ROM. P so it can be done? i have searched the reg a little to see if there are any references to it.. but nothing that has made any changes.. if i could replace the rom with a default htc monet rom (not messed with by virgin in any way), if such a thing exists. like a clean install of windows ;) hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Doctor Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 You can't do that easily.... it's set in ROM. P Its actually fairly easy :D Luckily the splash image is located in a different section of the ROM to the OS, bootloader, etc so you can 'cook' if you like your own ROM with the splash screen ONLY without too much trouble. All your programs etc are safe. If you want a MoDaCo boot screen, download and flash the splash screen i posted HERE If you want to make your own, follow the instructions by me HERE, or slightly more specific instructions by merwin HERE @Paul, if you feel it'd be worthwhile, I'll make a Hermes version of the MoDaCo Splash Screen I did for the Tornado ;) It'll be both the Splash Screen and the Sub splash (normally the same image but if you want to keep some operator branding i'll leave the subsplash section out so it wont flash that) Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But like i said, i'll cook you your own splash tomorrow, if you want a specific image then post it here before about 11am MoDaCo time. Needs to be 240x320 in bmp format.

Hmmmm Just had a thought that the upgrade files may be in nbh format? You could try the hermes modaco splash number 3 and see if that works... I'll have to look into this further tho Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
