Okay - I've tried searching this topic and no success and/or nothing relevant comes back.
I've tried renaming \system\customize\resources\PowerUp.mp3, deleting PowerUp.mp3 and just about every trick I can think of to get rid of the AT&T boot up sounds (and animation). Every time I delete it, then reboot it comes back. It's like a recurring bad dream. This worked great on my old S3.
Anyone know how to make this go away on a stock, rooted ROM? I've been using Root Explorer to set the directory R/W and then make the changes. No luck! I'm not a fan of smart phones that are overly noisy, so, IMHO, a bootup sound is really annoying and unnecessary....
You need to disable the /system protection in the kernel. There's a flashable mod in the international dev section or you can flash a custom kernel that disables it.

Gunnyman - thanks. Would have never thought about that "feature". I'll go look up the mod and/or do a Kernel....
if you want to stay with a stock kernel download scrossler's cleanrom and pull the boot.img from it. It has protection disabled

Thanks!! Turns out it's just a whole lot easier to flash a kernel for the moment. I did download CleanRom - I've always like Scrosler's ROMS for HTC devices. Once I get more acquainted with my HTC, I'll be flashing CleanRom...

Well, I'm on rooted stock, and I want to be able to install the original task switcher instead of using the HTC one as well as other things that involve being deodexed. So my question is how do I deodex? Is it easier for me to just go ahead and install a stock, deodexed ROM or is there a flashable zip that does it for me?
I'm not sure where to go from here on this since I was using a Galaxy Nexus and didn't have to really worry about this stuff since I could just easily flash a package or get a new ROM without having to worry about really anything at all.
Thanks!
Anything?

Thanks for that, but the thing is, I currently can't backup/restore everything. I was just wondering if there's a flashable zip to take care of it.
Say I do flash that ROM over top of my current stock rooted ROM, what will happen? Anything dreadful?

If you can flash a ROM, why can't you backup your current one?
So starting yesterday my droid dna has been stuck in a boot loop. I just bought it about 5 days ago.
It was rooted and running supercharged HTC sense rom and stock kernal.
I tried everything I could find online.
I relocked bootloader and restored rom using the RUU exe that everyone links, I re-unlocked installed the rom again to see if that would work and it allowed maybe 2 full boots out of 100+ tries occasionally it booted up and had several crashes on the supercharged that included the custom AC!D sound mod adn the UI would lock up if I tried to make or answer a call. I tried re-restoring with the RUU. all fastboot commands worked fine with no error on restoring the bootloader and recovery etc.
NOTHING is working. Please help for the love of my brand new droid dna which has already boot looped...
Have you tried just restoring from your backup? The one you made before flashing the rom
And just curious. Did you dirty flash it? What recovery are you using?

You're supposed to use the kernel that's supplied with the rom, not the stock kernel.

There's a discussion in that thread about the developer including the kernel in the rom, doing that won't flash the kernel. It doesn't look like the instructions were updated to reflect that. Try Supercharged Hatka, made by the same developer along with Mustafa.
I managed to get it to boot up as stock with a 2nd relocking using fastboot oem lock and the RUU.exe. Haven't had any issues yet. I will see if anything goes wrong. Made a few calls and restored off gmail account.
Now that you got it running don't use that Rom this time, try Supercharged Hatka or Viper.

I even asked the guy in the thread if the rom is stable on stock kernal and he stated that it was. I didnt read the whole thread but I didnt see anything about a kernal included. I know some are running cubed with it. Regardless, it worked fine on my device, I went back to stock just because Im looking to try out viper or hatka

Maybe. There are so many boot.img files floating around things get mixed up and sometimes you forget what kernel you're running until you look at the About phone menu. It would be nice if they could be named appropriately.

Now that I look, kernal definitely doesnt look stock but im just going off the name. Never looked before so I dunno what the name would have been.

Yours looks stock. Covxx said he put DSBs kernel in the rom but it has to be flashed separately to apply it, therefore DSBs kernel is not flashed and you remain on the stock kernel. Dsb has his name in the kernel version when you look at About Phone.

I am rooted (SuperCID 11111111 method), and s-off. I did not install any OTA's and i'm on stock kernal and ROM.
For my first custom ROM I want to install the ViperDNA ROM. Now that we have S-OFF, do we still need to install the "Stock DSB System Write Boot.img" Kernal? I could be wrong, but I believe that kernal is the same as stock but with system write capabilities which we can now do with S-OFF. Are there any other benefits to the DSB kernal that we may need for the ViperDNA?
Another small minor question while i'm at it: I haven't experienced any wifi issues, dose anyone recommend installing the new radios or anything else from the latest ota? Also should I wait for ViperDNA 1.2 or is it ok to start with 1.1?
Thank you in advance for your help. This is the first time I had to ask a question, I usually find what i'm looking for by reading the threads. I would have asked in the ViperDNA thread but this is my first post.

I would do it just to be safe and I flashed the new radios and got faster 4g but only slightly faster

DSB's Stock kernel is a part of the Viper ROM so no need to install separately. Installing new radio or the whole firmware is pretty much up to you. I have not received any faster data speeds with new one but some have. Also waiting for Viper 1.2 is also up to you, nits hinted that we may have it this weekend. It is an awesome ROM. The only thing with not waiting is that 1.2 will require a full wipe but if you are not opposed to taht like most of us flashaholics then go for it. You need to install 1.1.0 then there will be three small ota's that you will have to do one at a time to get to current 1.1.3.
Thanks for the quick responses. I might not have time to flash until this weekend anyway so maybe i'll wait for 1.2 just so I only have to wipe once. ViperDNA looks great, can't wait to mess around with it. I was a flashaholic with my Thunderbolt but I need to relax a little more with the DNA...Maybe.

lol, yeah. I think I flashed every rom there was for the Inc. and was doing same on DNA until Viper came out - it has everything. Can do as much or as little as you want with tweaks. Now I only flash when Viper has an update requiring one!

Yeah, I can't remember a ROM for the thunderbolt that had the same level of customization as Viper. TBolt ROMS went more in the direction of trying to get the latest sense roms, most felt unstable, or to get ASOP. I have my ASOP fix with my Nexus 7 now so I don't mind sticking with just sense based roms.

I just flashed the new radio, planning on flashing ViperDNA this weekend.
After doing a little more research I came across this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37535001&postcount=1
It turns out that there are 2 parts to a kernal, the kernal modules and the boot.img. I guess I DO need to flash the boot.img separately. The modules are already packaged with the ViperDNA Rom. Does this sound correct? When I was flashing ROMs with my TBolt I usually flashed different kernals separately so they were already together.
uppon2 said:
Keep in mind bootloader unlock will not work if you have done the latest OTA update without previously using supercid. See bootloader unlock guide below for more details.
3. You now need all required kernel files you are planning to use with the ROM you have selected. Now for the Droid DNA at the moment the kernel is broken down in to 2 parts. The first file is kernel modules and the second file is the the boot.img. Now whatever ROM you choose to download and install, it should already be using a specific kernel. When you flash a ROM the kernel modules will already be installed for the specific kernel the ROM is using.
For example If you listened to my advice and are going to use ViperDNA, this ROM already comes with the kernel modules required for the kernel it is using. The only thing that is left for you to do is download the second part of the kernel which is the boot.img file. Every kernel needs both the kernel modules and boot.img files to work 100% without fault, and every kernel has different modules and a boot.img that will only work for that specific kernel.
Each ROM should give you a download link for the required boot.img so just make sure to read the first few posts - If you are planning to use ViperDNA then it can be found on the first page post number 2 of the ViperDNA thread and it is named Stock DSB System Write Boot.img -
* If that wasn't already clear enough I would like to say that if you are download a complete kernel zip separately (which you can do) then you will get both files required. The first is the "already included in the ROM" kernel modules and the second file will be the boot.img - You can find all of the different kernels here - as you can see in this list the kernel included in ViperDNA is the one named "[KERNEL]Droid DNA Cubed Kernel Stock" - Once you have finished installing a ROM then I would recommend having a look at some different kernels if you want. Down the very bottom of this post I have included instructions on how to flash a kernel so please check it out.*

I recently picked up a GP 4.2. I immediately got it rooted so now I'm running a 2.3.6 stock rom with root. What's the next step in terms of getting a recovery installed and maybe moving up to an ICS or JB rom? I've kind of poked around a bit but it's some what confusing with all the other types of GPs in the same area. Does anybody have a recovery and rom they'd recommend? Is using rom manager to push CWM feasible?
I would recommend the ChaOS ROM/Kernel which includes CWM. It is one of the few available ROMs for this device right now but offers a lot of great features. You can also install an S3 or Jelly Bean theme with the ChaOS ROM. Here's the link to the ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2279806. I do not believe using ROM manager to push CWM is feasible on this device. Also, CM7 will most likely make it on to this device very soon. I would recommend watching for that in the near future. I know it can be a hassle trying to weed through the Galaxy Player forums to find 4.2 information but it's all we've got. Hope this helps and welcome to the SGP 4.2 community!

Thank you for the info Meta. I'm somewhere around the mid-high mid level with flashing and rooting but slogging through trying to find the right info for a GP 4.2 was getting a bit hectic. I think part of it was the way some people abbreviate the model compared to others. I just wanted to make sure I didn't brick the device.
I got it mainly for a perm, in-car music and GPS/navigation provider instead of always looking to my phone to do it. One thing I noticed about the rom, it mentions installing it via CWM. If I don't have CWM yet, can this rom get pushed by odin or do I have to get CWM first and then flash the rom?

Yes. Those instructions are correct. However, you do not need to run the adb dev tool like the person does in the beginning of video in order to boot into download mode.

From what I have read I know that SerkTheTurk is currently compiling CM for the 4.2. I would imagine either him or some other 3.6 dev will take up the task of CM for your device. And, the answer to your second question is yes, you do have to flash a custom kernel similar to how the 4.2 requires a custom kernel.

Ok thanks. I also have a question regarding flashing kernels. In the linux world (and other os world), randomly changing your kernel is a big no no that would lead to major compatibility issues. I don't understand how people can mix and match kernels, roms, firmware, bootloaders, recoveries and everything else? There won't be conflicts?
Regarding the kernel available for the 3.6: what do I do if I encounter stability issues with it and, say, the upcoming CM7? I wouldn't be able to go back to my original kernel because I didn't have CWM to back it up in the first place. Won't I be stuck with a potentially faulty kernel?

In changing kernels in the android world, you have mixed results. There are times a kernel can cause some issues but for the most part (we're talking like 98%), if an XDA dev posts a kernel and lets you know you can use it, you can trust it. These devs no matter the device spend painstaking hours ironing things out. Also, many of them have a select group of people testing the kernel for faults and issues. In a very active community, if a well known dev posts a kernel, you can trust it. HOWEVER...no matter what we think or believe or what we're told, every device is a unique and beautiful snowflake. Back up back up back up BACK UP BACK UP BACK UP your stuff. If you want to be super ULTRA safe, take the back up and download it to your PC or somewhere safe.

Ok thank you. However, will this work with YP-GS1?
But about kernels, on the webpage where I downloaded the stock rooted rom http://tau.shadowchild.nl/attn1/?p=166 it says specifically that the Wifi module in system and kernel must MATCH. This is what I'm talking about in regards to kernel compatibility with roms. How do I know if a kernel I'm downloading will have changes applied to it that will work with another rom like with this stock rom/kernel?
Well in order-I used odin to flash CWM. Once it rebooted, I saw the Galaxy SII boot anim. Used Rom Manager to have it boot to CWM. From there I flashed wifi fix, the rom and then the mod pack. My build number is gingerbread-ueld3. From what I can tell, I think I'm all done. At first I was like hrmmmmm. Doesn't look much different. When I hit the toggle bar though, I could tell it had changed. The process was all very simple after I got headed in the right direction with CWM. That was my only confusing start point for this.
Edit-my bad. The rom didn't take on the first flash. I could tell by the build number. Reflashing the rom and the s3 addons. Hrmmm. Might be boot looping. It's going through the comet and coming up to the white samsung, vibrates a few times after a bit and goes back to the comet with no sound.

Poop. I think I bootloped the sucker. I can use Odin to reflash the stock, rooted rom just like I did when I got it first rooted right? Do we have another rom for the 4.2 I could try flashing? Not sure why it has bootlooped. I even went back into CWM, did a factory reset, flashed only the rom (no addons) and same thing. Possible bad download? It is flashing from the internal SD as my CWM is not seeing my external SD.

I believe that the ChaOS ROM will bootloop on US (YP-GI1/XAA) devices if you do not install ChaOS's Enhanced Stock ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2279450) for whatever reason. I spent days trying to install his ROM and bootlooping.
The way I successfully installed (if I remember correctly):
-Do a factory reset of rooted stock ROM
-Boot to CWM (meaning you have already flashed the custom kernel) and install ChaOS's Enhanced Stock (put all install files on internal SD)
-Boot to CWM, wipe davlick cache under "advanced", wipe cache partition, and install the ChaOS ROM
-Wait a little while and your device should boot up properly
I hope this works for you. If it doesn't let me know and I can help you further. If this does work for you too then I will post this on the ROM's thread for other users.

Well that's my dilemma because in order to backup my kernel I first need to flash the custom kernel to get CWM. What do I do?

SerkTheTurk said it very well, you do not need to worry, but if you also want to do a backup before you install the custom kernel you could use the adb tools on the computer to backup the device. I'm sure you could learn how to do that with a quick Google search.

ell there's not really much point in backing up the kernel when I've already downloaded it on my computer.
I've since flashed KingOS rom and don't really notice any differences at besides a few color changes... what's all the hype about?

Xen-it seems GPlayer development is still fairly newish. the work you see from devs now are all ground work. For the 4.2 and 3.6, they seem a little less dev populated than the 4 and 5. People will build upon the work of early devs and eventually get kernels that can OC and maybe ICS and JB roms. At this stage, we likely won't see anything like ZOMG earth shattering until people spend time with the devices. Seems Serk is on his way to doing the best he can for 4.2 but I am not sure who is tackling 3.6
It's weird how roms for devices go. I learned this when I had a tbolt and shockingly saw a FUNCTIONAL JB rom for my old Eris while the tbolt was still hanging back in ginger land with not even a really good ICS rom let alone JB. I asked the Tbolt community-why? How is it the dinosaur Eris has JB and not us? It all depends on what the devs can do with the sources provided. Sometimes certain hardware points are sticky. you can have beautiful JB rom for a device that can't talk to the camera if the hardware source isn't made available (reference the HP TP for many years)
For now, flash what you're comfortable with and and learn what you do and don't like. Also learn if you want to play things safe and not experiment or take on potentially beta builds. For the tbolt, tackling an ICS rom was too dicey so I never did. On my new Rezound, I eat up JB roms as they are in much better shape
Hey guys, just a question that I couldn't seem to find anywhere. I'm on rooted stock ME7, and I was wondering if it would be possible, or safe, to do some kernel (Gov , scheduler) tweaks on complete stock?
Just scared because I won't have a recovery to flash a fall back zip.

I am not 100% positive but I believe without a custom recovery like TWRP or CWR you don't have the ability to flash kernels just like we can't flash ROM's on ME7, again I could be wrong.
Exactly, I mean tweaks on stock kernel

Probably not, If the kernel was able to be modded then you would probably have a custom a recovery by now. Plus watchdog, qmiproxy and mpdecision would have a field day on your system, so you probably wouldnt see much of an increase in performance anyways.
There are some things we can do with root access to tweak it, but without custom recovery to flash we are sitting in the boat with no motor and now wind at our backs.
