Disable the startup sound

Does any know if there is a registry edit to disable the startup and shutdown sounds on the omnia? Thanks!

Can't say I have checked the registry, but probably not, as i do not believe the registry has been invoked at that stage.

What you can do is make two blank .wav files, (renaming a .txt file to .wave extension will likely work).

Rename them pwr_off.wav and pwr_on.wav and use something like Resco Explorer and overwrite the \Windows files with the same name. If you want to remove the patch, simply delete those two files and the original ROM files will come back.

Hey it's the man of the hour! Thanks for the response, I am buying you a beer.
I have done this using the poweron and off wave files, someone has some floating around on one of the omnia forums, but they beep. So I created new wave like like you suggested. Works like a charm!
Thanks again!

Here are the files I created if anyone else wants to get rid of the startup and shutdown sounds. Just put them in the \Windows directory like Adrynalyne stated.
