Yes, you can remove the kernel's autoroot feature. You will have to unpack the ramdisk and remove a few lines in the init.rc file. These lines can be deleted -
Code:
#DooMLoRD: launching autoroot
start autoroot
# DooMLoRD: autoroot service
service autoroot /sbin/autoroot.sh
user root
oneshot
disabled
Then repack the ramdisk and boot.img file. Good luck

I've manage to extract the boot.img. But I can't find init.rc file anywhere. Did I do something wrong?
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And in what program I can edit it?
Edit: Now I successfully extract the ramdisk using manual alternating method. Thanks.

Yes. The kernel logo is in the rle format. But Kernel Kitchen allows you to convert normal pictures to rle and vice-versa. So to change the kernel logo you must replace logo.rle

@abcdjdj, I just extracted the builded boot.img and I found that the command line is still there. I think the problem is here:
It asked for configuration file after I select build boot.img (with edited ramdisk of course). What should I do here? Select the "before edit ramdisk" one?

When you split the boot.img it must have asked to save the configuration so try building the boot.img with that configuration.

I just tried it. And after create a new boot.img, I tried extract it again to see if it work. But it appear that init.rc still have the lines that I delete before.
Edit: Now, I'm done with it. I just forget to re-build the ramdisk so it use the old one. Now, I just flashed the new boot.img to my phone and it doesn't boot. It does vibrate one time but nothing more.
Note:
The command lines I delete is not exactly the same as you point it's
Code:
#DuMOHsmol:
instead of
Code:
#DooMLoRD:
And I do delete some blank lines. Is this the cause?
