Safe to delete init.d scripts? - HTC Droid DNA

Would it be safe to delete all of my init.d scripts? I remember I had to delete ones related to kernel tuner when flashing a new kernel. What if I deleted all of the scripts whenever I flash a new kernel? Thanks!

Usually the Rom developer puts them in there, unless you know it is causing a problem it should stay there.
But to answer your question, it shouldn't cause a problem to remove them.

Can you tell me which ones I'm supposed to have? Do any of these look out of the ordinary, or do they all belong? Thanks, by the way!
Edit: I'm running newts nos m7 1.6 with beastmode 5.9, if that matters

Those look normal, are you running Newts rom?

All those look fine. Why do you think you should delete all your scripts.

I remember I had to delete ones from kernel tuner a while back, so I was wondering what would happen if I deleted all of them

You would probably lose some performance and battery life... Just move them to a different folder and if you need to move them, move them back

That's exactly what I do when troubleshooting for myself or other users. I just make a folder somewhere that I can easily navigate back and fourth between the folders because it makes it easier to move files.I name it "init out-it old folder" or something simple like that.
OP, The only two I would consider moving are GPU rendering and complete, just because I'm not sure what the complete script is, and usually I disable force 2D GPU rendering and I'm thinking that's what is in the other script.

Lock screen issues.

So I just installed bamf forever 1.0.4 and the new lock screens that have the 4 shortcut icons at the bottom aren't appearing. So basically the lock screen just has the time and nothing else.. sorry if this isn't specific enough. Thanks for any help in advance!

Ya I tried that it still didn't change anything. It used to work, I'm not sure what I could have done to mess it up
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda premium
Hmm... By "mess it up" I will assume that means you didn't mod your rom or do any 'experimenting' either. If so, I got nuthin. Other than post this on the thread for your custom rom dev and see if they can help you there. Other than that, I'd say revert to your last back up you made of your phone.
However, if you DO come up with a solution, post it here. I'd like to know! Good luck!

If you use Titanium Backup you should be able to save all apps to reload after your wipe. Haven't used it yet myself, but I have seen many posts on this site saying to use this app for just that purpose...

Stock messaging app

Is there a way to completely remove the stock messaging app without messing anything else up? If so, what do I remove? I'm rooted tuning warm two point three. Thanks in advance!

If you have Titanium, you can just freeze it and it won't show in your app drawer. I am not sure if you can remove it and still have messaging work, but here is a link to remove it from the zipped ROM via 7-Zip file manage(free) that Scott put together. Check it out as you can remove things you don't want and add things to the ROM zip to your liking. He also updates on what to leave alone. http://www.scottsroms.com/showthrea...od-CleanROM-before-installing-v1-0-10-12-2011
Completely removing the stock mms.apk will totally break all messaging function.
Damn, I guess I will freeze it and see what it does, thanks guys

When you say will do the same thing as well are you talking about removing from the app drawer or killing all messaging functionality?

Have you tried to send an MMS? The last time I did this back on the OG Evo, SMS worked fine, but MMS wouldn't work anymore.

[Q] Mean Rom Overclocking

My question is when you change the settings in the init.qcom.post_boot.sh for overclocking, an then you reboot your phone... Do you have to use a program such as SetCPU to make that active? Or does it automatically run at that speed when you are using the phone?
Thanks in advance..

No need for a separate program. It's active based on what you set in the file.

Not all sys info software actually checks. Sometimes they just reflect the defaults. My software shows me at 1701 on Meanrom.

installed Viper rom - can't find clock/alarm app

I just installed the Viper rom on friday however, now i can't find the app/settings so that i can set my alarms on my phone. i was thinking maybe i deleted it on accident via titanium backup, however when looking back at the ROM zip i cannot find the APK in the package (unless i've overlooked it).
is there a way i can download the original DNA clock or even a stock 4.1 clock that would work on the phone? it would be great to be able to set and edit my alarms again so i get up for work on time
Its on there. Did you accidentlu select to uninstall it in aroma?

When you installed the Rom, it was the menu of options you went through in recovery.

Ahh didn't know that's what it was called. and i'm not sure if that is what i did or not i might have accidentally deleted using titanium backup.
however, i've resolved the issue by reinstalling the Viper and making sure that the clock was not marked to be removed by aroma and now it's all working well again. thanks for the help though. i'm glad someone replied. i'm finding the IRC is quiet useful

[App] AOSP Browser 4.2.2 [7/22] for TW w/ Bookmark + Flash support

I saw this being requested so thought id help. Freeze or rename the tw browser with .bak. Then flash in recovery wipe cache/dalvik, and then reboot. Obviously, back up your stuff first.
Edit: You can add the browser to Multi-Window manually by going to /system/csc/feature.xml and edit the multi window settings to include com.android.browser. Listed below is how the end of mine appears, if you don't have the multi window string you can just add it before the end as I did.
<!-- Multi Window -->
<CscFeature_MultiWindow_AddOnApp>com.android.browser<CscFeature_MultiWindow_AddOnApp>
</FeatureSet>
</SamsungMobileFeature>
Flash content may not work if you don't have the latest version, you can find it here just download the latest version under 'Flash Player for Android 4.0 archives' and install
Finally someone has done it, great job man!!! Many thanks!

"finally a browser that supports flash player on the s4 with out using a third party one. Great work man I already flashed it works just fine"
On RLS6 as well, and it works great. Just selected as the default browser (didn't rename tw browser) and removed from the drawer, without issue/conflict so far. Love this option, great work!

Works great on stock rooted... Really awesome to have flash support once again
Just a small visual glitch I found. When I click the menu button while the app is running the option for searching on the page reads as "No SIM card in phone."
Using the option runs displays the search box and it works normally.

Does anyone know if there's a way to get the quick controls in Labs to be more responsive. It's as if the pixel activation width is set extremely thin. Could be due in part to our screens resolution I suppose and more pixels being in less space. Thanks for the mod, op.

I just got the java text readable but I havent had the chance to go through it yet because currently im frustrated with looking through the note 2, gs3, and gs4 keyboard. Its like Samsung keeps downgrading their keyboard. Anyways, Ill upload the latest browser build though to see if that might help.

Thanks, and yes you're absolutely right, sorry, I should probably have mentioned that in the OP. The reason I requested everyone rename/freeze the touchwiz browser was a precaution. If you look at the updater script it contains the following code within it:
"delete("/system/app/BrowserProviderProxy.apk");
unmount("/system");"
And if you look in the zip, you'll notice theres 3 system apps being pushed to /system/app
1. ChromeBookmarksSyncAdapter.apk
2. BrowserProviderProxy.apk.bak
3. Browser.apk
So the renaming part is already done, if anyone wants to re-enable the tw browser to use alongside of the Aosp Browser, the only steps required are either to unfreeze the tw browser or renaming the .bak back to .apk at the end of the file.

, yeah sorry I did not notice any of that because I never actually flashed you're zip. I just was browsing through the threads and thought I would chime in because I like to use the touchwiz browser strictly for downloading because I can download to the SD card I wasn't trying to sway anybody or anything like that. just a tip

Okay, I took off my my TPU case and was able to get the quick control menus to pop-up, but it's still very difficult for me to trigger. Is there a way to build in an "activation zone" pixel # setting, like the AOKP browser has? Thanks!!
