[Q] Screen flicker after modifying stock rom - HTC Droid DNA

Hey all,
I started messing around with the stock rom I got from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2080200
Pretty much all I did was pull some apk's from system/app and now after booting, my screen will occasionally flicker.
I did some digging on the forums here, and the only work around I could find is to disable hw overlay.
Is there a fix for this? Anyone else have this problem?
Thanks

Sounds like your using an old kernel on that updated rom. If you are going to use a 2.04 rom you have to use the stock 2.04 kernel.

I am currently using crpalmers's kernel. I also tried the stock 2.04 kernel that came packaged with the stock rom

Crpalmers kernel will not work. Flash the stock kernel and be sure you fully flash it(both parts)

Sorry, I'm a bit new to this, both parts? All I have is a boot.img
Edit: Flashing kernel and modules....

How to safely change rom that have different kernals?

So I have been using ICS Crumble which it has it's own kernal. And Now I want to use a different rom that uses a different kernal. How would I do this safely?
If it is a CM9 ROM from the development forum then you can just flash it. The kernel will be replaced automatically

But wouldn't that cause boot looping if i use odin since after I'm done it'll reboot? Or should I just use
Recovery to put them both? If so should I do the kernal first?

Which ROM are you trying to flash? If it is Odin flash able then it will just replace the kernel you currently have. You will only have issues if you flash a ROM without an inbuilt kernel

Like bigandrewgold said. Kernel and modules. When you flashed viper it has the modules for dsbsrw kernel, so you need to flash the modules for lk's kernel

If you want to use lk kernel then flash the ROM. Then flash the boot.img in flash image GUI. Than go back to recovery and flash the modules for lk kernel.

[Q] WiFi showing error or turning on but no functionality?

I'm having issues with my WiFi trying to inniate and the finally says error.....I'm currently on viper Rom and have the boot.img a few times with no luck. I've also used the stock kernal modules and my phone still has this problem...I've seen a few threads about WiFi and have explored the resolutions but they do not work for me nor do the situations in those threads match my phones symptoms.....any guidance would be much appreciated......

Did you flash the kernel modules in recovery after installing the kernel?
Yes and I have done the boot img first and then modules and reversed process as well but still showing error
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
Go to a kernels thread.
Download the zip
Extract the zip.
Flash the boot.img
Flash the modules.zip
You how have working WiFi.

What version of Viper are you using?
I had the same problem and extracted the boot.img from the viperDNA_1.1.0.zip (might have been a bad download unsure I didn't check the md5)
I also did a factory reset and wiped cache in recovery and aroma. Version 1.1.0 doesn't like a dirty flash.
The same thing is happening to me
This is the first android phone, so I do not have much experience in custom ROMs and that sort. A friend of mine led me through making a backup of my phone and I flashed the newest version of Viper, and thought everything was okay until I noticed that the WiFi wouldn't turn on. I then restarted the phone, reflashed the ROM, and then flashed another ROM. Every single time the WiFi wouldn't work. I finally gave up and restored to the backup that I made, and my WiFi works with it. Any suggestions on how to get Viper installed with working WiFi? I really enjoyed it.

I forgot that that doesn't work for some reason. I'll try to find the stock ROM, if I can. The closest thing may be 2.3.6 though.

You can try it, but I'm not sure if it'll work. Unless you're asking me if you can flash 2.3.6, in which case, the answer is yes. In case something goes wrong, you may want to backup.j
Here is the stock U.S. - 2.3.5 ROM.

You should try booting to recovery and wipeing cache and data... You probably still got some jelly bean stuff foating around. Might want to flash a kernel too. Entrophy's daily driver if U.S; rj's if INT.
Any success because I'm in the same boat you are but just thinking about buying a new one. I feel like it's going to be extremely to complicated to fix.

How do I install a ROM's custom Kernel?

So I flashed the Dirty Unicorn ROM that is apparently AOSP and Android 4.3.1. They have a custom kernel you can install that allows you to do many awesome features. I'm new to android and don't know much about these things, so my question is can anyone help me by telling me how do I install that custom kernel? Thanks!

Download and flash it like any ROM.

I'm pretty sure Dirty Unicorns comes with the kernel built in.

So just go to CWM Recovery and flash it? Would I need to wipe everything again even though I'm already on the ROM?

Yes to the first part and no to the second. You could just wipe caches after flashing it, but even that isn't needed.
