[Q] Samsung apps update "loop" - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Tried to search but didnt find anything.
When i start Samsung Apps a box pops up that tells me there is and update.
I click OK getting to the installation and it tells me that it will overwrite a systemapp. I click OK, Install, etc and it seems to install fine and is done.
Then when i start Samsung Apps again the same update box pops up again so I cant access the Samsung apps.
What to do?
Im using VillainROM 2.3 (KG3 based) and Ninphetamine 2.0.2 kernel. If thats to any help.

Try rebooting the device.

Ofc i have tried to reboot it, several times. And i had the problem in Villain 2.0 with cf kernel to if i remember correct.
It might have been all the time cus i havent tried samsung apps untill now.

ROM manager premium not showing ROM's - HELP

As the tittle say. i have purchased the premium version and installed CWm through it. i never used it before, i was always going through odin or cwm manualy. but yesterday i tryed to instal CyanogenMod 7 for Samsung Galaxy S II and that was reason for purchase the rom manager. but i coudlnt even see it in avaible ROMS. i did ther install the harder way. but i wanted automatic updates. i made research and i am left with no clue how to fix this issue.
i can only see cognition ROM's untill 1.06 and Darky's old roms. nothing else.
i tryed;
reflashing whole ROM
factory reset
wiped cache
reinstaled
and i also checked the option advanced in menu with no luck.
can someone give me idea how to fix this bad issue. i am unable to see roms.
Thanks
Any ideas? I am stuck...
Its not available for rom manager yet.
I've also got this issue. I can only see these options under download rom: extras, google apps, designgears roms and Novek, which I'm pretty sure are the ones I could see in the free version of rommanager. Although I'm not looking to install cyanogen it says in the cyanogen thread that it should be available in rommanager now.
Bump....can anyone help? :-(

I9100 is Slow, and Keeps force closing, tried differnt roms and kernels, but no luck

Hi all,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100, which is Rooted, and is Currently Running "Pure ICS v7.2" and kernel "Siyah v3"
just after i rooted my phone about 4 months ago, i stuffed my phone up a bit, and i had to reflash a new firmware to get it to work again, but ever since then, my phone has always been really sluggish and slow, and lots of apps keep force closing. i have tried heaps of different roms including: Pure ics v7.2, Checkrom v38, stock XXLPH, and a few others. but they are all the same. i have also tried the kernels: Stock Sammy kernel, Chainfire, And siyah v3 and v2, but nothing has worked, i tried restoreing a CWM back up of my original rom (the one that was on my phone when i got it) but it did not work properly, they were all the same - Slow and sluggish, and apps force close.
i was wondering if anyone knew what i could do to get my phone working again. because when i first rooted my phone, it never force closed and frooze or anything, it just worked perfectly, it only started not working properly after i flashed a status bar mod, and the phone got in to a boot loop, but i fixed that, but it still does not work properly
i have read what other people have said about the kernels and roms i have used, and they all said that it worked great, and that they got not force closes, but i keep getting them.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help
Cheers Corey

How about flashing your stock firmware and perform root again. Maybe you can get the phone working right

problem installing new roms

Hello there.
Let's begin with saying that i have changed a few ROMs and i know the basics of installing them. I'm no pro but i can install them.
The problem began when i wanted to upgrade my litening ROM. Before this i installed like ~6 different roms and i never had problems installing them. Since i tried last time it looks like whatever i do no rom can be installed on my phone anymore, except litening 3.2/3.4 but the problem with them is that any app i restore with titanium backup they just don't work. They open.. stay like that and then it gives me an error or simply exits. After that i tried installing ~4-5 roms but 1 bricked my phone.. i managed to get back on feet... ~3 others gave me that 'aborted' error when started installing.. etc.. What happened to my phone? Or what should i do to be able to install other roms? Now i just have the litening 3.4 with no apps.. only contacts.
Try to install a stock rom with odin first and then try to custom roms.

Open the zip file from your computer. 'aborted' error usually caused by corrupted incomplete zip so you should get an error by simply opening the zip file. If it did not give you any error what so ever, flash the resurrection edition of CM9 via Odin.
ok i will install later the cm9 and after that i will install again some custom roms and i will see what happens. Thanks.
PS: all the archives of ROMs work. so the abortion is not from an incomplete file.

More detail please.
Does the abort say something about status 7? Or any other status? Or any other detail at all????

You can try to Backup first everything and do a factory reset of the phone. After wards install stock ROM first then root using CF root kernel then do full wipe.
HIT THANKS IF IT HELPS YOU IN ANYWAY!!!
remember that cm9 doesn't support tb which could possibly cause the issue since you use it to restore apps. almost all roms are using cm9 framework which also means tb might not work. i suggest you keep ur apks and data on pc and manually reinstall them instead of using tb.

Phone will not boot but it's working

I NEED HELP!
Backstory: I was on Abberation rom 1.2 and it had worked perfectly. When I installed version 1.0 it used the AROMA installer and allowed me to pick a launcher. I chose Apex launcher but I didn't install any other launchers. Superuser worked fine and it had run buttery smooth. Aberration runs Siyah kernel.
The issue: Alright, so today I was listening to music and suddenly my phone turns off. I literally was listening to music and that's it. I rebooted it and it told said "please wait android is updating" and that only happens when I flash a new kernel...which is impossible since I don't even have mobile odin installed. Then, Then it said "unfortunately, apex launcher has closed" and it would keep repeating that message, meaning I had no actual launcher to run anything from. I installed launcher pro over the air via the play store desktop version from my computer. It downloaded but wouldn't run. I got a text from my friend and the messaging app worked fine, I could text him and everything so there was nothing wrong there. Then I get home and let it charge (since it was dead). I return later and see that the battery icon that pops up when its charging and the phone is off has a loading icon on it, but it doesn't actually show the battery level. I tried to boot up, but it wouldn't. It would show a blank screen and then go back to the battery icon with a loading symbol on it. Eventually I tried to go to CWM via the three button combo and I ended up with the stock 3E recovery. I am utterly confused and need some serious help from you guys. I didn't do anything so is it the ROM's fault?
Note: I have had experience in flashing ROMs and I have done extensive research on trying to fix this. I've never seen this happen before. Did it somehow revert back to the stock kernel while it ran Aberration?
Thanks for any support or instructions you can give me. I was thinking about using creepyncrawly's instruction to unroot to stock, but it only works for gingerbread and I'm on ice cream sandwich.

If you have 3e recovery, then I suppose you have the stock kernel. I have no clue how you would have 3e recovery any other way.
I would suggest you flash back to stock and start over. It doesn't matter that you flash back to Gingerbread, because you will install a custom Gingerbread kernel and then flash whatever you want. I would suggest that you use UCKH7 plus root, and then put a Gingerbread kernel on it. Oh, and just in case, do the wipe data/factory reset in 3e recovery after you flash UCKH7, just in case, you know.

[Q] BIG problem - Stuck on Gingerbread 2.3.3 (old I know) trying to change custom ROM

Hi there, ive looked all over online and on here for about a week solid now for a solution for this and cannot find one anywhere! My situation is.. im running gingerbread 2.3.3 on my S2 that I got in 2011. As soon as I got it I flashed the Lite'ning ROM to it. It worked fine up until christmas just gone and just all of a sudden started saying this error message when I tried to open anything, such as messages, contacts, google, camera etc..
"sorry the application ..... (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again"
So I have just been trying to get the phone back to orignal factory settings by putting a factory ROM on, or install a new custom ROM in the hope that this will solve the problem and get the phone working normally again. I used Odin and installed a custom ROM successfully (so I thought) but when I rebooted the phone I was still stuck on Lite'ning ROM and everything was how it was before. The same happened when I installed a factory ROM. I also tried to install a custom ROM via the SD card, but this failed everytime.
One other thing.. when I restore to factory settings while on the CMW and then reboot the phone.. nothing has gone, its exactly the same, with all my contacts, pictures and apps. I never knew it would be so hard to restore my phone. Im hoping someone here can advise me on what to do... Ive a feeling it might be to do with the fact the phone is gingerbread 2.3.3 and all the custom ROMs now are made for ICS or Jelly Bean? If so how do I get my phone to work with these ROMs. Thanks for reading and I really hope someone can help!

I think you should try a 3-files odin flash rom.
If you search in google for "Odin 3-files i9100" than you will find the rom
