Since installing Raidroid 1.1 I had the concern of an extremely LOUD boot sound.
I decided to find out how to turn it off and let everybody know how.
It turned out to be much simpler than I thought. The method, I believe, will work with all ROMs.
There is a file in /system/media/bootscreen called boot_animation.xml - this contains the script that runs on startup.
First you need to copy that file off your phone for editing. Use any method you wish, I used adb
adb pull /system/media/bootscreen/boot_animation.xml boot_animation.xml
Now, in your current folder, you will have a copy of that file. You can edit it in notepad.
Here is mine:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!--
* Copyright © 2008 HTC Inc.
*
-->
<!-- For new bootup animation
<BootConfiguration>
<BootAnimation
image="/system/media/bootscreen/boot.gif"
audio="/system/media/bootscreen/boot.mp3"
screenX="100" (optional)
screenY="130" (optional)
useAudio="0" // 1: true ; 0:false (optional)
/>
</BootConfiguration>
-->
<!-- For cropped version -->
<BootConfiguration>
<BootAnimation
image="/system/media/bootscreen/boot.gif"
audio="/system/media/bootscreen/boot.mp3"
screenX="40"
screenY="0"
useAudio="0"
/>
</BootConfiguration>
<!-- For full screen version -->
<!--BootConfiguration>
<BootAnimation
image="/system/media/bootscreen/boot.gif"
loopimage="/system/media/bootscreen/boot.gif"
audio="/system/media/bootscreen/boot.mp3"
useAudio="0"
/>
</BootConfiguration-->

You will see, I've highlighted the changes I made in bold.
I've disabled the audio completely but I could, for example, change the image or audio to anything I wanted. If you choose to change the image or sound file, be careful. This script runs at startup and I'm guessing that if you configure it wrongly that you may not be able to boot the phone.
Once your phone is edited, you now need to upload the amended file back to the phone. Again, I used adb. (thanks DarthOps for the remount help)
adb remount
adb push boot_animation.xml /system/media/bootscreen/boot_animation.xml
All done, now reboot your phone to test.
Thanks for sharing..works for me..

You don't need to edit xml file.
Follow the instruction in the below thread to get system write access
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2707378
Please do a backup before this.
To get a permanent access, do the below steps(not mine - from m8 forum)
1 install TWRP
2 Boot into twrp
3. Select the "Mount" option on the main menu and tick system
4. Go back to the main menu and then go into the "Advanced" option. There will be a "File Manager" option
5. Navigate to the folder you saved the .ko file in and copy it (just touch the file and it will bring up the menu)
6. now navigate to /system/lib/modules and copy the file there by hitting the "select" button on the bottom right.
7. Navigate to /system/lib/modules and insure the file is there. Now touch it to bring up the menu. select "Chmod" option and enter in 644
8. reboot the device
9. Once booted fully open up Terminal emulator and type:
su
insmod /system/lib/modules/wp_mod.ko
10. Once that's done open up a file manager app with root access and mount as r/w and navigate to /system/etc and look for the file install-recovery.sh*
11. edit the file using a text editor, adding the line insmod /system/lib/modules/wp_mod.ko towards the bottom of the file
12. reboot and enjoy r/w on boot without running the command every time
Do step by step very carefully. If missed one, you'll have to restore backup again.

Jithu my frnd..... Because of this module I bricked my phone.......... i did do all the steps in it... still it crippled the phone....
here is the workaround i Did yesterday.....
1) I made a copy of platform.xml in my sd card
2) edited the card using note++ in my pc like below...
<permission name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_r" />
</permission>
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_r" />
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
<group gid="media_rw" />
</permission>
<permission name="android.permission.ACCESS_ALL_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_r" />
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
<group gid="sdcard_all" />
<group gid="media_rw" />
</permission>
3) copied the modifed file again to sd card
4) rebooted the mobile to twrp recovery
5) using mount option mounted system & sd card
6) using advanced option, renamed the original platform.xml to platform.xml.org
7)copied the platform.xml from sdcard to system location
8) using chmod i changed the permission to 644 ( check the owner information too )
9) reboot the mobile...
10) Now I can see my applications are not annoying about the write permission on the internal mem...
How is it ????? :good::good::good::good::good::good:

Great :highfive:
First and foremost I apologize if this happens to be the wrong forum for this thread. I also apologize if this has been covered, which i'm sure it has; but I've been googling and searching these particular forums for a while and cannot find this exact problem addressed. Not saying it's not there, simply that I cannot find it.
Second I'd like to ask: Is it inadvisable to upgrade beyond Kit-Kat on an SGH-M919? I have been thinking about checking out lollipop or even marshmallow, but I don't know if I would be shooting myself in the foot, what with the phone being several generations old and having dated phys. specs and hardware.
Now to the meat of my inquiry:
Recently I rooted my phone. As a newbie I wanted to take the path of least resistance. So KingRooot was the route I ended up going. I was very happy with it initially, but then realized the mistake I had made; while attempting to update my phones OS I was alerted to the fact that changes made to the OS prohibited me from going the normal route within the phones settings.
So my plan is to restore my phone to factory defaults, update as far as I can, then root using CWM/ODIN. I'm using this guide at androidrootz which seems to be very comprehensive and laid out in laymen's terms. ( attempted to link the tutorial but was thwarted by anti-spamming measures)
What I am wondering though, is if I find a way to upgrade my phone beyond KitKat, will this same root process work once the operating system has been fundamentally changed?
Additionally I'd like to know if there Is a possibility that I can flash the factory reset to revert to a fresh, rooted version of my new chosen OS? I understand that the aforementioned CWM will do exactly that, but presumably with the current installation of Kit-Kat, and not with whatever I manage to update it to, with rooting included.
I appreciate any input you may have, and once again apologize for my noobish nature
I would also like to add that I have never used Odin previously. I understand that it would allow me to flash whatever I wanted for the most part, but as someone who is new to modifying phones (and who is rather poor and with bad credit) I am overly cautious to do anything that might harm my phone. I understand that odin is well known and trusted, but it's my own lack of knowledge and experience in this field that I do not trust. Once again, thanks in advance for your patience and for any help provided.
Here is my recommendation:<br />
Download AOKP 6.0.1, which is what I am using every day on my M919.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=67161650
Then, follow these instructions:
<br />
If you use Windows instructions<br />
<br />
Go to: https://dl.twrp.me/jfltetmo/<br />

-Plug your phone into the computer.<br />
-Press start/ok button on Odin.<br />
<br />
You should see a blue bar on your phone screen that fills up from left to right. Odin should say "pass" or "success". Your phone should automatically reboot itself. If this did not happen, seek help. Seriously. <br />
<br />
-Plug your phone into the computer again, and copy the Gapps and Rom from post #1 to your external sdcard of your phone.<br />
-Now, turn off the phone again.<br />
-Hold the UP volume button, and the power button.<br />
-When the phone vibrates, you can release the power button, but keep holding the UP volume button.<br />
-You will enter TWRP. Now you can release the UP volume button.<br />
-You should now MAKE A BACKUP TO YOUR EXTERNAL SDCARD. -With this, you can always go back!<br />
-After making a backup, you should wipe your phone. Select wipe, slide the slider to wipe your phone. This will not wipe your external sdcard.<br />
-Install Rom.<br />
-Wipe Cache and Davlik.<br />
-Install Gapps. - Optional<br />

Okay thank you very much for the prompt reply. I just have a few further questions,s then I will try it when I get home.
As far as the first thing you mentioned downloading, The aokp 6.0.1... am I correct in my assumption that this version number is referring to the version of android? I.e. will it install marshmallow?
Also you say to transfer gapps and some other files to my sd card. Must it be in Abby specific dinner
Folder/partition? Or is it just the root directorY I'm shooting for?

Great questions!
First, AOKP 6.0.1 is Marshmallow, however, some ROMs have version numbers that do not correlate with Android versions, but in this case it does.
Second, you can put the files anywhere on your phone, however, keep in mind that after you backup your old system (so you can always go back) the next step is to wipe the phone, so you should put the files on the external sdcard, because you will not wipe that.
Clear as mud?
Also, there are other great ROMs to use, but AOKP is very stable and everything works. Post #3 of that thread has some great tips for any problems with Bluetooth, if you run into any, and there are many people there (including me) who can answer any questions you have. We don't discriminate against newcomers.
Let me know if you have more questions!

Edit: Also, sorry the above instructions have the line brakes (br) in there, I copied from my post in the AOKP thread, and it came out that way. It is post #153 of the AOKP thread, if you want to read it without the br's in there.....

Yes quite clear, thanks again for the quick response.
I understand that it's stable, per your response but I wonder what its impact on my performance might be?
I find that this phones battery capacity is a bit underwhelming. Draining sometimes less than eight hours. Will upgrading to marshmallow make things worse?
I've Been thinking about buying an extended internal battery but am reluctant to ditch my otterbox.
Thanks again

It runs smooth as butter, check out the thread if you would like. Runs great, but you are welcome to choose any ROM you like. That's the best part about Android!

I just went through your step 100% to the T. The process was pretty smoothe, until I got tot he GAPPs bit. Upon atempting to install GAPPS, I was alerted that there was not enough space . Now it's booting up. I loved the AOKP splash screen. Currently getting the "Android is startnig.. Optimiznig app ##x out of ##y".
So this whole process not only got me on marshmallow, but also granted me root access and replaced the restore point with one of the image I jut installed? Am I correct in my understanding?
EDIT: Could not find means to delete.

Great work!
As for the gapps, there is not enough room for the bigger gapps package, because those are huge, once uncompressed. I use arm, 6.0, pico or nano, personally. If you have trouble installing these gaps, go to twrp, wipe, install ROM, then wipe davlik/cache, then install pico or nano gapps.
As for your questions, yes, you are now marshmallow with root permission. You can test this with any app that needs root, it will pop up and ask if that app can have root permission, to which you can click yes or no, or just this once, etc.
Welcome to the AOKP!

Thanks very much once again for your help
After a couple of hours of toying around with Marshmallow I ended up trying out slimkat, which I find to be a lot more ot my liking. But I used the same steps you provided me for that intsallation as well.
Im sorry if this is the wrong place, I tried to comment on a root conversation where it would apply most, but I couldn't post. Anyway...this device has just been left in the dark, little to nothing about a solid root. I tried Kingroot....and then again and again....im not sure whats going on with a one button root, but my idea was it was doing something over and over making it weaker....I ran it about 10 times and I was suprised it rooted!!! But soon I realided it didnt matter much, cause there are no custom roms or Kernels...so...I don't know, just wanted to let a few guy know, maybe repetition of Kingroot will help them and they can go on to build roms and things! Thanks everyone, this site is the only source I hit for everything android! I have a screen shot...just unsure how to post...on a virgin! My first post!!
Thanks!! Rooted my HP 10 Plus (Australian version) after 3.5 years of trying unsuccessfully.
Rooting wiped all data from the tablet!
It took many restarts of both programming and tablet (forced). I even reinstalled Kingroot several times to get it out of loops.
Your next steps are:
Use EsExplorer to change the root folder (/) permissions from RO to RW.
Navigate to /system/etc/permissions
Here there is a file called "platform.xml"
Open platform.xml
Find the permission block below. It will not have the last line in it. ADD this line
<group gid="media_rw" />
The block will now look like this:
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_r" />

Process?
Hi KingRat! Can you share the process you used to Root the HP 10 Plus after adding this file permission?
I would like to install a Linux Distro on mine (Aussie Model as well)

Thanks!! Rooted my HP 10 Plus (Australian version) after 3.5 years of trying unsuccessfully.
Rooting wiped all data from the tablet!
It took many restarts of both programming and tablet (forced). I even reinstalled Kingroot several times to get it out of loops.
Your next steps are:
Use EsExplorer to change the root folder (/) permissions from RO to RW.
Navigate to /system/etc/permissions
Here there is a file called "platform.xml"
Open platform.xml
Find the permission block below. It will not have the last line in it. ADD this line
<group gid="media_rw" />
The block will now look like this:
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_r" />
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
<group gid="media_rw" />
</permission>
CHECK AND DOUBLE CHECK THAT YOU HAVE ALTERED THE CORRECT BLOCK EXACTLY AS ABOVE!!
Save the file.
Restart your tablet.
You will now have full write access to your microSD card.
Thanks again.
