If you do not want the Cingular, T-Mobile or any other branding (splash screen etc) here is a CAB that will set the phone to the generic MS developer settings. It only changes the GIFs used for the operator logo, splash screen, dial bar, call gif and shutdown gif. It was created with the 2003 SDK but should work with 2002 MS Smartphones as well.

The CAB sets your phone up as unbranded using the gifs provided by Smeg. There are several ways to install the CAB. First download to your PC or phone and unzip the CAB.ZIP. This will leave you with genericBrand.CAB.

1. Move "genericBrand.CAB" to a folder on your phone such as TEMP
1a. Navigate on your phone using a file browser to TEMP and double click on genericBrand.CAB. This will install the CAB on your phone. You will need to soft reset for the effects to take place completely. If you don't want the "generic branding" you can uninstall by going to Settings>Remove Programs> "Abatis generic branding" and click remove.

The second method to install is as follows:

2. Copy the genericBranding.CAB to /Storage/Windows/Startup (not start menu) and than soft reset your phone. Anything you put in Startup will be executed upon reset. The CAB will install and than delete itself. Use the same method as described above to remove the generic branding. Good Luck and let me know if I need to change anything.
