Removing frame number from title page (Warsaw theme)

Question

I am working with Warsaw theme. I found a code in order to add frame numbering by "googling". As a minimal example:

\documentclass[table]{beamer} 

\usetheme{Warsaw} 

\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{color} 

\defbeamertemplate*{footline}{shadow theme}
{%
  \leavevmode%
  \hbox{\begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=.5\paperwidth,ht=2.5ex,dp=1.125ex,leftskip=.3cm plus1fil,rightskip=.3cm]{author in head/foot}%
    \usebeamerfont{author in head/foot}\insertframenumber\,/\,\inserttotalframenumber\hfill\insertshortauthor
  \end{beamercolorbox}%
  \begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=.5\paperwidth,ht=2.5ex,dp=1.125ex,leftskip=.3cm,rightskip=.3cm plus1fil]{title in head/foot}%
    \usebeamerfont{title in head/foot}\insertshorttitle%
  \end{beamercolorbox}}%
  \vskip0pt%
}

\title{Linearized Model}
\subtitle{Results from Numerical Implementation}
\author[DA, GC]{\underline{First Author}, Second Author} 
\date{\today} 

\AtBeginSection[]  
{
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Presentation Outline} 
\tableofcontents[currentsection] 
\end{frame}
} 

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}
\titlepage
\end{frame}

\section{Overview of VENU Model}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Motivations for the Modeling\ldots}
\begin{itemize}
\item BlaBla
\item BlaBla
\item BlaBla
\item BlaBla
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Original work; 2012}
\begin{itemize}
\pause \item BlaBla
\pause \item BlaBla
\pause \item BlaBla
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\end{document}

Frame numbering appears as desired. Questions: 1) What should I add in the preamble in order to avoid frame numbering of the title page (first page). The numbering should continue with 2 in the Presentation Outline.

2) What should I do if I want the numbering to starts from the Presentation Outline (that is, the title page is not counted at all in the total number of pages).

3) How I should modify above code in order to move the numbering in the right corner instead of the left one;

Adding \begin{frame}[noframenumbering] \titlepage \end{frame}

results in starting the numbering from 0 but still is not what I want.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Actually I found the code here http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/8179/slide-numbering-in-beamer-class-warsaw-theme — Dimitris, Oct 30 '15 at 12:20
Hi. The first answer (the accepted one) seems to work with the Madrid theme, not the Warsaw. And the other workaround with adding [plain] modifies completely the title page. — Dimitris, Oct 30 '15 at 12:42
As I wrote above the \begin{frame}[plain] \titlepage \end{frame}` modifies completely the title page. — Dimitris, Oct 30 '15 at 12:47
No problem. In fact, the proposed workaround disappears completely the footer graphics. — Dimitris, Oct 30 '15 at 12:52
I deleted my comments about the possible duplicate since they are clearly misleading as you want to keep the footer on the title page. — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Oct 30 '15 at 13:19
Ok. LaTeX and Beamer are both great but sometimes you have to search quite a lot for this superfially simple...Fortunately there is this forum:-)! — Dimitris, Oct 30 '15 at 13:24
I found another workaround that seems to work in my minimal example here http://mnwrhsn.blogspot.fr/2011/05/give-slide-number-in-warsaw-theme-of.html It is rather simple, but it does not work in the actual presentation. — Dimitris, Oct 30 '15 at 13:27

1) What should I add in the preamble in order to avoid frame numbering of the title page (first page). The numbering should continue with 2 in the Presentation Outline.

If you use

 \begin{frame}
 \titlepage 
 \end{frame}

the number of the Outline is 2. In order to no print the frame numbers on the title frame, use either the [plain] option, which removes the footer or redefine the footer for the title page.

2) What should I do if I want the numbering to starts from the Presentation Outline (that is, the title page is not counted at all in the total number of pages).

This is exactly what the

\begin{frame}[noframenumbering]
\titlepage
\end{frame}

you mentioned in your question, does.

3) How I should modify above code in order to move the numbering in the right corner instead of the left one;

move the \insertframenumber\,/\,\inserttotalframenumber to the other side of the footer

\documentclass[table]{beamer} 

\usetheme{Warsaw} 

\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{color} 

\defbeamertemplate*{footline}{shadow theme}
{%
  \leavevmode%
  \hbox{\begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=.5\paperwidth,ht=2.5ex,dp=1.125ex,leftskip=.3cm plus1fil,rightskip=.3cm]{author in head/foot}%
    \usebeamerfont{author in head/foot}\hfill\insertshortauthor
  \end{beamercolorbox}%
  \begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=.5\paperwidth,ht=2.5ex,dp=1.125ex,leftskip=.3cm,rightskip=.3cm plus1fil]{title in head/foot}%
    \usebeamerfont{title in head/foot}\insertshorttitle\hfill\insertframenumber\,/\,\inserttotalframenumber%
  \end{beamercolorbox}}%
  \vskip0pt%
}

            \usebeamerfont{title in head/foot}\insertshorttitle%
        \end{beamercolorbox}}%
        \vskip0pt%
    }


\begin{frame}[noframenumbering]

\end{frame}

Set a separate footline for the title page, after title page subtract 1 from framenumber:

\documentclass[table]{beamer}

\usetheme{Warsaw}

\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{color}

\defbeamertemplate*{footline}{shadow theme}
{%
  \leavevmode%
  \hbox{\begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=.5\paperwidth,ht=2.5ex,dp=1.125ex,leftskip=.3cm plus1fil,rightskip=.3cm]{author in head/foot}%
    \mbox{}\hfill\insertshortauthor
  \end{beamercolorbox}%
  \begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=.5\paperwidth,ht=2.5ex,dp=1.125ex,leftskip=.3cm,rightskip=.3cm plus1fil]{title in head/foot}%
    \usebeamerfont{title in head/foot}\insertshorttitle \hfill \insertframenumber\,/\,\inserttotalframenumber%
  \end{beamercolorbox}}%
  \vskip0pt%
}

\title{Linearized Model}
\subtitle{Results from Numerical Implementation}
\author[DA, GC]{\underline{First Author}, Second Author}
\date{\today}

\AtBeginSection[]
{
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Presentation Outline}
\tableofcontents[currentsection]
\end{frame}
}

\begin{document}
{\setbeamertemplate{footline}
{%
  \leavevmode%
  \hbox{\begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=.5\paperwidth,ht=2.5ex,dp=1.125ex,leftskip=.3cm plus1fil,rightskip=.3cm]{author in head/foot}%
    \usebeamerfont{author in head/foot}\mbox{}\hfill\insertshortauthor
  \end{beamercolorbox}%
  \begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=.5\paperwidth,ht=2.5ex,dp=1.125ex,leftskip=.3cm,rightskip=.3cm plus1fil]{title in head/foot}%
    \usebeamerfont{title in head/foot}\insertshorttitle%
  \end{beamercolorbox}}%
  \vskip0pt%
}
\begin{frame}
\titlepage
\end{frame}
}
\addtocounter{framenumber}{-1}    %% add this here

\section{Overview of VENU Model}
\begin{frame}

Thank you very much for your great answer. It works as desired. Unfortunately I could not vote for both answers. — Dimitris, Oct 30 '15 at 13:19
