Is there a way to install a custom bootscreen on stock ROM? I tried the sanim.zip and bootanimation.zip in media and system folder using proper permission but it's not working.
Does it need to have a custom kernel in order to allowed the custom bootscreen? I am using Rogers i747M.
Thanks!
Yea, the stock kernel does not support a custom boot animation. You will need to flash a kernel that supports that.
Got it. Is there any kernel suggested/preferred for the S III around ? I guess the custom kernel will trip the counter as well right?

Hopefully my title didn't confuse anyone lol.
I was told the main reason for flashing a custom kernel is entering recovery mode, well if that's the case, I have an app called x-parts, it allows me to boot my xperia play in recovery mode without flashing a custom kernel. so....would I be able to flash a custom rom via x-parts WITHOUT having to flash a kernel?

I'm pretty sure you can use the same kernel for a CM7 ROM since stock and CM7 are the same Android version, basically.
However, to use an ICS based ROM, flashing a custom kernel is necessary.

It means that i can flash CM7 on stock???? Without flash a custom kernel??? If that is true then CM7 works on locked bootloader....
No. You must have a custom kernel for a custom ROM. Any ROMs that can be flashed on locked bootloader will say so explicitly. CM7 is not one of those.
Thanks for the info guys just curious to see how kernels tried into roms
Hello i Would Like To Make A Fast Stable Rom Based on Stock GB i extracted the ftf file using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849867 put the root in there and everything but when i try and boot it it dosent work first i thought it didnt boot cause i deleted a important app but it still wouldnt work when i put all the apps there the rom installs succesfully but dosent boot its based on .58 enhanced

Hi guys any 1 can help me i want o install 1custom ROm but i flash and all and they dont boot i dont now why :S
and other questions where cna i fidn ftf files? for stock ROMS?
xd
BUMP
It doesn't boot because you need to flash a kernel compatible with that rom. The kernel file is the boot.img file inside the rom zip file, however, they do not always work. To flash a kernel you need to unlock the phone bootloader and use fastboot.

Yea thanks for link of Stock Firmware , and i know that i need unlocked bootloader for flash kernel but the rom i try to install its for locked phones and i try to install 3 diferent stock roms and then restore the custom rom but still not booting :S
i do wipe and clear dalvik cache i dont know why dont boot
If you flash a stock rom like NXT rom, you just need to flash the stock kernel. You can do this in flashtool, when you drag over the ftf file, check to exclude everything except the kernel for flashing. But then you're probably using stock rom in the first place. Make sure you don't flash a CDMA rom to a GSM phone and vice versa.
I had that problem once. The solution was to flash another boot image because the one that I was using was for ICS ROMS and my backup was GB. The boot and the kernel must be compatible with your ROM.
hello, I just want to know if it is possible to install a custom kernel such as ktoonsez kt747. Is it possible to do this using odin? My galaxy s3 is fully stock but has root.
Thanks,
You will need to install a custom recovery first, then flash away.

Hello everyone. I am new to the HTC One (m7wlv) but not new to htc or rooting/flashing etc. I am s-off and my bootloader is unlocked, and i am running the stock rom rooted and debloated. I want to get a custom kernel on here, but i cant seem to get any to stick. By that i mean i have tried several, and they all flash with no errors. But when i reboot, the kernel is still stock and unchanged. I have tried all three different recoveries, ive tried regular flashing and flashing with htc dumlock. What am i missing here? Can you not use a custom kernel with a stock rooted rom? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The rom is just the ota 2.10.605.1 that i rooted and debloated.
obone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2539041, is the latest kernel ive tried. I tried a few others i found, but i cant remember which ones. Not to many kernels to choose from on sense 4.3. Any other kernels you know of that i could try?
Yes i was pretty active on the incredible. Unforrunatley it took a crap finally so i decided to go for the one. Thanks for replying.

You need an insecure Boot.img in your current rom, to allow it to be overwritten.
My Stock rom has an insecure Boot.img in it.
You could fastboot flash that Boot.Img and then flash the custom one.
You should be able to just fastboot flash the new kernel, if it is packed into a Boot.Img.(most custom kernels aren't)
If it's packed in Anykernel style, then you will have to repack it into a Boot.img from your rom, or do what I suggested above and then flash it.
Essentially you are on an unrooted, secure stock Boot.Img that will not allow for the kernel to be overwritten.
Chances are, that the modules did flash though and you probably ended up just breaking wifi...and maybe more.
How are you going about flashing a kernel?

Couldnt have said it better myself. tank you santod.
i would recommend backup up user data and flash Santod debloat stock 4.3 and everything should be good from there.
Thank you guys. Im off to try it out now.
Thanks again guys. I fastboot flashed the boot.img from your rom, and then the kernel and it worked. Time to tinker with some settings.
