Like many others, I desperately want to get rid of the obnoxious startup/shutdown tunes. I read the tips & tricks sticky on where they're located so I'm clear on that. I'm rooted and I installed root explorer. When I get to the directories and delete them, they come right back even though root explorer says it was deleted. I can't get rid of them! I tried Android Commander and it won't handle it either. Anyone have a solution? I cringe evertime I have to power up/down this thing! I WANT PEACE AND QUIET!

Try the stock Galaxy I9000 start up shut down sounds. It is barely audible. There are plenty of links posted in forums. Quick search should help, use the rom manager, boot into recovery and install zip from SD card. Had good success with that and no more pink & loud boot sounds.

I've seen the I9000 stuff from the tips & tricks sticky. I don't mind the t-mobile logo it's the sounds that I don't want and would rather just remove them. Not looking to replace them with anything. Thanks for replying though.

Did you try replacing the files with blank - or silent sound files? This might give you the fix you need - silence and replacing the files. I can't imagine what the issue is with the files not deleting. I've changed mine many times without issue.
odd man, I deleted them just fine.... do you have something that would be restoring these files on your phone?? Makes no sense for them to keep coming back, at all.
I'm as perplexed as all of you. I could say it's a problem with Android Commander, but even when I try it from apps like Linda or Astro I get the same result. I can't delete or move them off.

I am not responsible for malfunctions your phone may have from this. I am having no problems what so ever from it. This can be completely reversed after you do it.
(This may or may not work for other versions of the Touch Pro. I only have a Sprint one to try it on. Some phones, like Verizon, you are able to remove this annoying sound without having to do this mod.)
Ever find it really annoying when you are on the phone with someone and you get a incoming text message and your phone makes a really loud and annoying sound 3 times in a row to the point where you can't even hear your caller?
Here is how to disable that.

This will include Total Commander v2.5, a modified version of the "notify.wma" file which is basically silence, and a backup original version of the "notify.wma" in case you want to undo this mod.
Now, heres how you do it.
1. Open the .zip and put the tcmdpocketarm.cab (Total Commander) and the notify.wma files on your storage card.
2. Locate and Install tcmdpocketarm.cab (Total Commander)
3. Go to Start > Programs > Total Commander
4. Locate notify.wma files on your storage card, select and hold and click copy
5. Locate your "Windows" folder then tap and hold to paste.
This should overwrite your notify.wma file on your phone. When you get a phone call and receive a text message you will no longer hear the annoying loud sound.
Please let me know how this worked for everyone.
Thanks!

Why not edit it in the registy instead?
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
CONTROL PANEL
SOUNDS
INCALLBUZZ
Change Script so value is blank so DELETE P
or even delete the sound files name
Save wait a few minutes restart phone
Or you could even change it to a new sound that isnt so loud or annoying maybe something with one beep so you do know you have a text I find this feature useful
Both methods are sound. No pun intended.
I've used the same method RJM described already.

Well if your into making your phone your own and personalizing it then the registry should be your new best friend. Thats where all changes get saved
sometimes its the only place you can adjust a setting you want

Yeah, I understand that. IDK i just worried I will mess something up.

Only prob it dont do it enough for me to really prove it. I may have some tricks up my sleeves thou for that. Also I have a charging prob while talking on the phone.

You don't have to prove it. If your within your 30 days then it's no questions asked. After 30 days it may take a bit more but definitely NOT impossible. I made them take back my Instinct after 3 months and got a Pro to replace it.

Thank you,
can you or someone modify the original file to make it softer? or upload any other good replacement file?
Also make sure that you aren't pressing the power button while you are typing that would do it too.

Flash your phone with a ROM that doesn't have those programs.

Hi mate! I have read before that you can delete the folder from file explorer right away to delete that program. Try to search first, i'm not sure if my memory serves me right.
Much better try out those customized roms out there. Just go to the ROM DEVELOPMENT thread.
Goodluck mate! Cheers!
I'll give it a go deleting in file explorer, i cant remember if i tried that but it left the icons about though.
I might take the plunge & give a custom rom a go.
Ta for the suggestions
Hi everyone.
I am using the SalsaSense ROM. I am unable to post in that thread because I am new here, so I'm hoping someone here will be able to help me.
In the stock SMS app there is the option to delete old messages once a limit has been reached. I installed the ROM, recovered my messages, and enabled the option in the stock app with the limit set at 200. But my old messages are not being deleted. With one contact I have 7k+ messages, and since enabling the option I have sent and received several messages with them. When I had Elelinux-7.1.0-Hero-v2.6 installed beforehand, following these steps was enough to provoke it to keep my inbox in check. But not now.
Is this a problem with the ROM, or the stock app, or am I just unlucky?
I'm hoping someone here may have come across this and can help me out.
Many thanks, BurnseyBoi
I think you've been unlucky. It sounds like a ROM problem since it's beta.
You could delete them using an app like SuperSMS Delete (I think it's that).
Yeah, guess I'll just have to wait for an update to it. I had a look round the market and found the app you were referring to. Worked a charm, thanks very much! Now my phone is a bit speedier.
Yeah i noticed this, unfortunately its a problem with the ROM. I've got a lot of issues to iron out so it takes me a while to solve each one, rest assured though it will be fixed

I love this ROM! I forgot how much I missed the little Sense features and looks. My friend just got himself a Sensation, which is where I got the idea to browse around for a Sense ROM. Many thanks!

I'm trying to follow the build.prop editing suggestion, but adb doesn't list my phone under connected devices. I've tried while the phone is on, and in recovery.
Is there another way of successfully editing it?
Yeah, you can use Root Explorer from the Market. ES File explorer may work too, look in the app's settings for Root options.
Navigate to the directory with the build.prop and long press and I think there's an edit option if you use Root Explorer. Then you can just edit as you would normally via the phone.
Thanks! I already had ES File Explorer, didn't realise it had root options though.
Made both changes that JieeHD suggested, then powered it off and back on. I've never seen my phone go from power button to lock screen that fast in the 2 years I've had it! I definitely notice a speed improvement from making those changes. Everything just feels sharper and more responsive.
Many thanks!

I've tried them and can confirm they do speed things up.
Wish there was some option to use a standard notification bar, I think it would help.

I agree. I tried following the instructions in this thread but I couldn't get it to work. Has anyone else using this ROM been able to successfully do this?
I am looking to turn my eris into a pure mp3 player for my daughter. she uses it now for that reason, but it doesn't need the dialer, phone book or anything else like that on it. to me its just wasted space. i am open to suggestions. is there a rom out there that i can use that will do this? i have searched and found nothing.
I'm not 100% sure you can remove phone and dialer stuff without getting force closes on that process. I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure those can't be removed.

this might be what you're looking for...?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216571
you don't need to remove the dialer, contacts, phone .apk's, but with most launchers giving the option to hide certain programs, you could hide them and those apps would only be accessible when going into Titanium Backup or Manage Apps within the settings. at least that's what i did, just in case i need to activate the old eris in an emergency and need the phone functionality, since all phones can make 911 emergency calls even after deactivation.
EDIT: just happened to be browsing that thread, and saw a few posts from you, so maybe this is old news to you! lol, anyway, hope this helps if not, cheers!
Ya know removing the dialer and stuff wouldn't help you free space anyway because that is stored on the system and your mp3s are on the SD card.

That works perfectly, thank you very much. and you guys are all correct on the removal of the phone book and dialer. and everything is already on the sd card, i was just trying to clean / speed things up a bit. i appreciate the response from everyone.
I've been wanting the same thing. But I've decided to make it a home phone that is relatively always plugged in and use sipdroid to set it for inbound and outbound calls. I occasionally use it as an example mp3 player. I may try breaking the ROM apart, but honestly just use a startup disabling app like systemtuner productos or autostarts.. That can literally disable everything from turning on at boot. And other trigger points. Freezing sometimes breaks the ROM depending on what it is.
Sent from my android touchpad.
I've been asking if workshed wants to make one last ROM for the Eris which encorporates that script into it as well as removing every system app not necessary to making it a wifi enabled music player, but he seems to be busy with his other ROM development. I think I'll be making a thread about it, that way if a dev is interested in making it, they can take it from there. Sort of a dev-shopping thread. I've been meaning to for a little while.
Hi,
I recently flashed FTF so that I have .257 firmware with root. I did not wipe data at the time...
Everything is OK, except that all the sound files found in notifications are in duplicates.
If I go into settings and try to choose a different notification sound, they are all listed in doubles.
Now, not that it matters too much to the functionality of the phone, I would still like to know how to solve it. I have looked inside system files, tried looking through root browser...
I cannot find the folder where they are contained.. I was thinking about going into that folder and deleting all the copies.
Can someone show me/tell me how to navigate there?
Thanks in advance!

thanks for the advice.
Went there, and sure enough I found them.
But in the folder, I do not see any duplicates.
It is only in duplicates in the list of sounds to be chosen from, when I go into Settings > sound > Notification sound ( under system)
Do you (or anyone) know if there is cache that needs deleting or updating?

@LordManhattan... Although I am now a little wiser with the directories, unfortunately this did not solve the problem.
It cleared the list of available sounds for notifications for a little while, but it re-populated as duplicates soon after.
It leads me to conclude that there are actually 2 copies of each, but both in different places and/or directories. Using the search function in file explorers do not reveal their places either.
Really mystified... Am I the only one who ended up like this, or am I the only one who realised it, or am I the only one who cares whether there are duplicates?
I don't have duplicates, but I've had it before on my Note. I'm not sure If I did anything about it though, so I can't say I know where the duplicates are. Google "android duplicate notification sounds", and you'll see you're not the only one with this issue.

This thing happen to me on CM10.2 ROM. Have you try search 'notification' while you run the root explorer or similar explorer so if there are any double folder on different place it can be recognized.
I am curious too. I cannot make a try now as I am on rooted stock .257 which not has those problem.
Good luck!
