Title: [Solved] Disable startup animation (Nokia Connecting People) on OFW
Post by: matthew on June 11, 2013, 06:47:37 am

Is there a way to completely disable the splash screen on a phone running the original firmware? i have Chris' .mif patch enabled and deleted the two splashscreen .mifs which has disabled the bootscreen and the sound, but the "Nokia Connecting People" .gif (.mbm, sorry) still rolls. Anyone have a workaround or a patch to disable this? Any help would be appreciated - i am not ready for any of the CFWs i have seen on the N8 yet and i am not ready to make my own yet, either. Just a simple mod (if it is simple).

Do you have Tweaks installed ?

There is a plugin that can disable them with CenRep I think.

i installed it, but the options only allow me to change it - not remove it.
Thank you though for helping =o)

Even better (in case any S60v3/v5/S^3/Belle/beyond user wants to do their own modding):
Copy Z:\Private\10202be9\101f8763.txt to C:\Private\10202be9\, remove its Read Only property and edit like so:

Quote

0x3 string "" 0 cap_rd=alwayspass cap_wr=alwaysfail

(Remove the path to the sound in quotations)

Quote

0xD string "" 0 cap_rd=alwayspass cap_wr=alwaysfail

(Remove the path to the animation in quotations)

To speed it up a bit:

Quote

0xE int 100 0 cap_rd=alwayspass cap_wr=alwaysfail

Quote

0x10 int 100 0 cap_rd=alwayspass cap_wr=alwaysfail

Quote

0x13 int 100 0 cap_rd=alwayspass cap_wr=alwaysfail

These values are event delay durations in milliseconds (.001 sec). Changing them to 100 reduces the delay to .1 second.
Making them 0 causes a glitch where you have to touch the screen to finish the sequence. i have no idea why ::)

In case anyone eyes the 0x16 string, that is the default start date YYYYMMDD:HHMMSS with a -1 offset for MM and DD (eg 31 January 2013 = 20130030). No sense editing this because it will only go into effect in a reset, where it would be deleted anyway.
