step by step instructions for changing splash screen
Can somebody help me out with this.. Did the search thing and came up with nothing.. Or if someone could direct me to the proper link to do just that, it would be greatly appreciated..
I did a search for apachesplash over at ppcgeeks and came up with "0" results.. Although I did find this below. But what the hell does it mean??
Cause I really don't understand it.. Any help would be greatly appreciated..
This is a modified version of some utils and batch file over on buzzdev originally for Universal but adapted to the Apache. Updates the initial splash over activesync with only soft reset required. Worked fine for me over several iterations, but as always, the usual caveat's apply.
Alternatively, you could open a command prompt (still have to install the cab file and establish an activesync connection) at the location you extract the files to and type the following (no quotes):
To read (from device to file backup.nb):
"pdocread.exe 0x3f00000 0x25800 backup.nb"
To write (from file spcs.nb to device):
"pdocwrite.exe spcs.nb 0x3f00000 0x25800"

I'll give it a shot. The thread from PPCGeeks you're referring to is http://ppcgeeks.com/splash-screen-t1932.html, so get the apachesplash_154.zip file from there. There are probably other ways to accomplish this, but below are the steps that worked for me.
1) Download apachesplash_154.zip and unzip the file on your computer.
2) Establish ActiveSync connection with your 6700.
3) Install the file called EnableRapi.cab on your 6700.
4) Run the file called apachesplash.exe on your computer and select your desired Splash Screen (Sprint, etc.).
5) You'll be prompted to reboot your device and this will reboot your 6700. You should see the Splash Screen you selected when it's rebooting.
It's easier than that... just unzip apachesplash_154_177 into a folder on your PC. There's a .exe in there and another zip in there (which you don't need to unzip, the exe reads it). Simply run the exe while connected via activesync. There's splash screens for various carriers there you can pick. I haven't done a custom splash yet.
Worked great, thanks for the help!! Theres another splash screen thats has a black background with the yellow logo... Anybody know where I can find that one?
