windows phone hacker there is a way.
- Download splashchanger.zip file available from here ( you DONT have to extract it ) , but you can add 480×800 image in Windows BMP format to the ZIP file ( opening up the zip file and drag and drop should do it , then save the file ).

Julien Schapman has released the first public beta of TouchXplorer for Windows Phone 7. TouchXplorer, for the uninitiated is a HomeBrew Windows Phone 7 App that can only be run on unlocked Windows Phone 7 devices.
At the moment TouchXperience does not work on non-HTC devices :( but the developer hopes to add more device support if possible. TouchXplorer is similar to Windows Mobile File Explorer (but with a nice Metro look), it supports all standard file operations (open, edit, copy, move, rename, delete, search files) but you can’t create/delete/copy folders. The developer also plans to add network support (accessing files from your personal/pro network) and FTP support (client & server) in future versions.
