Is it possible to deactivate the samsung omnia jingle at startup?

I have not disabled the start up jingle, however, it is possible to change the power on/power off animations and sounds.

Just use file explorer to navigate to the following files in windows and, replace them with ones of your own choosing;

Ani_Poweron.Gif

Ani_PowerOff.Gif

Poweron.wav

Poweroff.wav

Hope this helps you to 'Cool Up' ya Omnia B)

No...not impossible. Just apply a little patience.

Copy the new file into windows and then rename it there. Do not use the file ext - it is added automatically as, you correctly point out, it exists in the ROM. You may need to delete the original file first or rename it.

If you want to 'silence' the jingle, you will need to replace the file with a wav file containing silence. The ROM 'self protects' system files by default and, as well as trying to prevent you from deleting system files, if it finds one missing, it will replace it from the ROM. So...you have to 'fool it' by replacing the file.

no,don't delete it,just copy(to anywhere you want) a .wav file that you like(or choose from windows),rename it to poweron/off,then copy back to windows(use resco explorer).that's what i did before when i want to get rid of the on/off sound!it works!

Of course, i would strongly recommend making a backup of the file you are deleting but, as it exists in the ROM, it is not really a problem. The method i have outlined uses only the 'tools' already available on the Omnia which, all Omnia users already have.

Your method is equally correct and hopefully, one way or the other, the users are helped B)

I tried all you wrote:always the same popup:"impossible overwrite a path already existing"

[Guest forrager]

OK. Try this...

copy Poweron.wav to your PC

Rename the file you want on your Omnia to Power.on.wav and copy it to the windows folder on your Omnia.

In windows on the Omnia, rename your new file to Poweron

You should now be done.

Post back if not and when i get home from work tonight i will post a full step by step guide B)

PowerOn.wav

here's my poweron.wav!

[Guest CrunchingNumbers]

Well i fel stupid, because there is now way i can get it to work without rom replacing the files or telling me they already exist. I had replaced a cursor before which is also rom, but i simply cannot replace these files with any amount of renaming. I am using resco explorer which will allow me to rename the poweron and poweroff.wav files, but when i try to replace them either renamed before moving them or renaming them after, I am blocked.

You must be doing it in a certain sequence which is getting them into the windows directory before rom replaces them. Perhaps you could be more exact with the steps, so i can follow the sequence correctly. I've tried through wmdc and resco, just no joy in any combination.

No need to feel anything but, the same frustration most users experience when trying something new. I can't tell you how frustrating i found it when i couldn't work out why, i could not change the green windows screen after the power on animation. In the end, i had missed the obvious. I had not renamed the file correctly and, kept typing it with the file extension. I kept naming it welcomehead.96.png and, when i took a step back and reviewed what i was doing, i realised that windows automatically appends the file extension so, it ended up being welcomehead.96.png.png - no way that would work.

Hopefully i have got everything in order B)

If you have not already done so - Using file explorer in windows on the omnia, select menu then show all files. This is essential.

1. backup (copy) poweron.wav to your pc.

2. Choose your new wav file - the smaller (shorter) the better (i.e. 10 seconds)

3. Rename your new file power.on.wav (or whatever)

4. Copy this new wav into the windows directory on your Omnia

5. Take a breath

6. delete the current poweron file

7. navigate to power.on.wav using file explorer on your Omnia

8. touch and hold power.on.wav to open menu

9. select rename

10. carefully rename file to poweron - nothin else than just 'poweron' will do.

Reset your phone and it is done, using nothing more than the Omnia itself.

Please post back the result. I hope you enjoy B)

Thanks for taking the time to post the steps you had taken. They all seem perfectly logical but on my omnia i a not able to delete the files by any method.

I have Rom version HI3 installed and i simply cannot delete the file from step 6 using a context menu or otherwise. The files are flagged as a rom file and resco explorer simply says that it cannot delete the file - option 'skip'. In the absence of that, it does not appear possible to replace the file. I'm wondering if different rom versions give different results. Even remaining the file resco and then trying to copy the new file produces a duplicate file name in path error..

i'm sure you've done it, but there must be a missing step that perhaps is so obvious it's being missed in the steps above.

I have no experience of using resco and therefore, cannot accurately comment on its use. The steps above were written for and, carried out, using nothing other than file explorer on the Omnia (Programs - file explorer), once i had copied the file from the pc to Omnia windows.

It would be nice to establish what is happening here, so that i may re write the steps to make them clearer.

I have changed the following files successfullly to fully customise my Omnia power on/off.

Start up Animation Ani_powerOn.gif (240x400)

power on jingle PowerOn.wav

windows ce (green screen) Welcomehead.96.png (240x400 or 400x400)

Shut down animation Ani_oweroff.gif (240x400)

power off jingle PowerOff.wav

Maybe you could try again using Omnia's file explorer and, we can sort this out? B)

If you use Resco File Explorer don't try to delete the ROM files. Just replace the ROM files with the new ones. They should have the same name (thus including the extension). Of course the ROM files will not really be overwritten, but Windows Mobile has a mechanism that allows files to have the same name as ROM files. Windows Mobile will then use this newer file instead of the ROM file. This is mainly intended for software updates/patches without the need of a complete ROM upgrade, but can be used for our own purposes like in this case.

Thus if you want to get rid of the PowerOn sound, copy the PowerOn.wav file to your computer, open it with a wave editor (e.g. Audacity) and replace its content with silence. You don't have to preserve the length. On my Omnia I replaced the sound files I was annoyed with, with files containing only a single silent sample - leading to very small files of only a few tens of bytes. Copy the files back to your Omnia (just put 'em in My Storage - I don't know whether ActiveSync can replace ROM files so I didn't try to do it in one step), then use Resco File Explorer to move 'em to the Windows folder and "replace" the ROM files.

[Guest CrunchingNumbers]

Well the key word here appears to be 'Move'.

As in previous instructions (thanks to all):

1) copy the following files from your windows directory to your PC using active sync or wmdc.

Ani_Poweron.Gif

Ani_PowerOff.Gif

Poweron.wav

Poweroff.wav

2) change the wav files as required to create either a new sound or silence. Sound recorder from windows xp works fine to create any kind of wav file. Save them on your PC with the same names including .wav extensions as noted in 1)

3) edit or recreate the two Gif files to what ever you want. Save them on your PC with the same names including .gif extensions as noted in 1)

4) Copy the changed Gif and Wav files to a directory on your device using active sync or wmdc. It won't matter which directory.

5) On the omnia using file explorer (i use resco which is a replacement for the standard wm6.1 install), navigate to the directory where you placed the changed files in step 4.

6) From the context menu (select and hold file name) or from the menu itself, select to 'Move' the files individually to the windows directory. It will just replace the rom versions without a problem and wm6.1 won't overwrite them.

It appears that if you try to do anything with the original files whilst in the windows directory itself, they are flagged or otherwise irreplaceable, but if select and move from another directory, it works ok.

What an ordeal for something so simple. The hours we waste B)

N.4 ok everywhere, but not in memory card! Otherwise "cannot replace ......"

[Guest forrager]

I am glad you have had success B)

For all those who have read this and wondered ?

I must just be really lucky and have a 'magic' phone B))

I just copied powerof.wav to omnia windows

deleted poweroff.wav

renamed powerof.wav to poweroff and tapped outside the box

See for yourself here B)

[Guest Carlos0371]

OK, no matter what I do, I cannot delete, rename or otherwise edit the original PowerOn or PowerOff wav files in windows.

Right Click > Delete and Rename options are both greyed out.

Copy and Paste gives me "A read-only file named PowerOff (or PowerOn) already exists. Replace the existing file (....) with this one? (....)

Click "Yes" then get "Cannot copy 'PowerOff' Access is denied. Be certain that there is enough..........."

Any ideas? I'm a PC engineer, and this is doing my nut in!! I can't understand how everyone in here can just do this straight away with no messing about.

Cheers in advance,

Carlos.

[Guest Carlos0371]

OK, managed it by doing the Copy into windows (with a different filename) then renaming, using explorer while Omnia connected to PC.

Problem was, I was seeing 2 files for PowerOn and 2 for PowerOff so assumed it hadn't worked.

Clicking "Refresh" on the Omnia solved this.

Thanks.

[Guest acecombat]

I can confirm it worked for me B)

If anyone wants the custom power on animation I made I've attached it here B) (Yes I know it's ripped from the Samsung website but it looked cool and I wanted it as a startup screen instead so I ripped, resized, cut and gifferized it B))

[Guest zemrwhite2]

Hello,

The animations and sounds launched at startup/power off can be modified by editing the following registry keys :

HKLM\System\State\Samsung\Phone\Ani\2_All_Ani_Off

HKLM\System\State\Samsung\Phone\Ani\2_All_Ani_On

HKLM\System\State\Samsung\Phone\Ani\2_All_Sound_Off

HKLM\System\State\Samsung\Phone\Ani\2_All_Sound_On

Absolute path of GIFs and WAVs has to be provided. Default values are respectively :

\Windows\Ani_Poweroff.gif

\Windows\Ani_Poweron.gif

\Windows\Poweroff.wav

\Windows\Poweron.wav

By indicating alternate files, one will not encounter overwrite / erase issue.

To answer the initial question, values can be left empty. On my (french) model, the "Samsung Player Addict" white screen is displayed until Windows has completely started, this is a little weird.
