Changing your HTC Wizard's Splash Screen

Tired of seeing the same old splash screen on your 838, or did you upgrade to a Test ROM and have ugly text written on your splash screen? Why not change it to something more useful or to your liking?

Here's what you need:
  1. Button's BMP to Splash tool you can get it here [page 3 of the thread the filename is: splash_bmp_to_wizard.exe]
  2. a 240 x 320 24 bit True Bitmap image file. [To make sure it is a 24bit bmp just re-open the image file in MS Paint and save it as a 24bit BMP] make sure it's file name is splash.bmp
Here's how you do it:
--
Step 1: Download Button's tool. Put it in a folder [ex. C:\Button's Splash Tool\]
Step 2: Prepare your image. Remember it must be 240 x 320 pixels, 24 bit depth, bitmap named splash.bmp
Step 3: Place the image you made into the same folder as the tool. Run the app by double-clicking on the exe file.
Step 4: Wait for the process to be finished [may take a few minutes] your device will reboot and you will have your custom made splash screen on there! Now wasn't that easy!

I changed my splash screen from the Qtek's TEST ONLY ROM to this the default dopod splash:

and then I changed it to something that had my name and contact details in case my device get's misplaced the finder will know how to contact me and hopefully return it to me.

WindowsMobile (previously PocketPC and currently WindowsPhone) once the dominant mobile OS, yes folks before the iPhone came into power Microsoft slowly but surely killed of it’s main competitor palm OS, which was acquired by hp last year and is now barely a sliver of a shadow of it’s former former former self. Just this week hp/palm unveiled 2 new smartphones the palm Pre 3 and Veer, as well as their entry into the tablet space with the TouchPad. hp being one of the top computer manufacturers at the moment has the resources to use and spread webOS like a creamy peanut butter across all markets they are in. By being one of MSFT’s biggest customers now suddenly not using Windows7 (still MSFT’s tablet OS of choice) and churning out comp...
