What if?

What if i Deleted init.d on Android Version 4.2.2 Kernel Version 3.4.5

That would depend on its contents, which in turn depends on the device and ROM involved.

Very likely Bad Things would happen. Why would you want to delete it anyway?

 

[SwungSilver]

Roms....

You'd end up with a brick? I understand that init.d determines what starts and stops in a Linux kernel based OS, e.g. Android. You delete it, nothing would start probably.

BTW I've done many ROMs recently and not had to touch anything low-level and essential like init.d.

If a ROM includes a kernel that supports init.d scripts, then it will overwrite any existing instance with its own contents.

Unless you know exactly what you're doing, it's best to leave init.d well alone. Back in my Galaxy S2 days I spent many an hour testing and tweaking scripts to optimise the performance for my needs. I know what can happen if you make even a minor error.

What happened......

Yeah. The "init" part stands for initialization. It handles boot instances and the such. Leave it alone.

What happened......

Assuming the question was in response to my post previous to it... several times I ended up with a device that either wouldn't boot, or that locked up hard when it did.
