Ok I'm using Samsung Galaxy Mini Android 2.2
just rooted today....
what's going on is I have used Type fresh App to change my fonts
it worked great at first but it only changed some of my fonts (such as my time)
and nothing else (such as menu)
so looking around I thought I had to set font for everything that are listed on the app...
which I did...
and then it required reboot and now it won't go pass the loading page
which is just samsung logo...
is there a recovery mode for this?
or is my phone just gone now......?
please help.. I bought this phone just a week ago....
p.s. I don't know if this is the right place to post this thread but please help I can't sleep.. and my local time is 2:33am...
OK... I got to the point to how to turn the phone on in recovery mode.. what next...?
oh oops,
my phone is t499.. i thought that was galaxy mini...
but guess not
but still please do help
Do you have a recent backup to restore? I hope you made a nandroid backup before you started changing fonts. If that is the case, restore the backup and you should be good to go.
Good luck.
Clear dalvick cache and cache first. Before you resort to restoring.

How do I clear dalvick cache and cache? I bought my first android phone (which is this phone) like less than a week ago so I'm rly noob at this.
I tried everything listed here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153310) but none of them works and the one click unbricker doesn't even install on my pc (windows 7 x64) even in UAC...
help please.... thx
also I think i found a recovery image file
[recovery img] and [boot img]
how do I load them on my phone?

I DID some cache wipe and dalvik cache wipe and accidentaly included data wipe too..the phone rebooted and ask for goole etc etc to be filled up but then the phone died and when i tried to reboot it. I get stuck at CM7 boot screen. I tried recovery pressing power-volume down-menu all at onece and when i try to restore back up it says E: Couldn't open directory/sdcard/nandroid/ please help me please i dont know what to do
Did you move the nand backup elsewhere on your card or to your computer? Toggle USB storage and copy the nand backup back to the sdcard (and to the same folder).
no.backup was not moved ever since i created it using nand backup.and upon checking..it is still there
my guess is that the rom has become corrupt (somehow), so this is what i would do:
1. wipe everything again (as if you were going to do a fresh install of new rom)
2. flash cm7
3. once everything has booted properly, reboot into recovery and try to restore the backup
Im gonna try that one out sweet...anymore suggestions or solutions or is there anyone out there who knows exactly what to do?
Hoping your suggestion would solve this problem...Rebooting now after re-installing cm7......
Re-installed CM7 and phone went On..Tried to restore backup but to no avail....anyone who can suggest what to do?
did you rename the folder of your backup? i know that the name cannot have "invalid" characters, such as asterisks and spaces.
also try reflashing your recovery and try again.
I think I know what went wrong. Yesterday I used Amon Ra to wipe cache and dalvik cache and battery stats coz I've seen somewehere here in this forum that CWM recovery doest completely wipes caches so I used it but I forgot to return to CWM. I think that causes the problem "couldnt open file directory". Upon reinstalling CM7 rom, I flashed CWM and tried to restore backup and it did.
Nope..I never did anything with the backup...reflashing recovery solves the problem
so everything is now up and running? glad to hear that
yeah..up and running thanks
I just came across my first downfall with moving the dalvik to SD. Nandroid is stuck trying to backup cache. Im guessing the reason is that nandroid cant find the dalvik because it is not symbollically linked by S2e since we arent booted into the actaul OS. Anyway i can get nandroid to backup without moving it back?
anybody?
Also, i can mount cache in CWM, but not sd-ext. It says error and kicks me out to home screen. Also i tried to view the last_log with file manager and it says it doesnt exist.
i actually have the same problem. please help..
Theres nothing too repare this,the problem born when you make a nandroid backup ,try to flash another rom or wipe data

Did You make data restore via xRecovery (or CWM)?
i found my apps Force closing aswell or malfunctioning when restoring the apps from titanium backup.
try a fresh install of the apps causing the problems .
if its apps you did not download but are auto installed try to cleane cache/dalviks cache and fixing permissons. help counter a number of problems ive had in the past!
Install different rom such as wolfxperia

Did factory reset, wiped cache and installed the ROM again... Lets see if this works out... What about the application related folders that are in my sd card already?

Hey guys,
I have had some issues with my current ROM. I want to change the ROM. I am looking to switch to OMEGA.
How would I do this, I currently have AROMA rom. Should I do a factory reset the just reboot into recovery mode and install that way? Or will just installing the ROM from zip work? Or if I do a factory reset do I need to root it again with Odin, or will I not need to root it?
Also for wiping the phone should I wipe my SD card? Or no?
Thank you I searched and found half answers for most of this.
You have to format /system partition and /data partition in order to get a clean ROM, otherwise you may run into some unforeseeable problems.
Don't have to wipe sdcard
Most ROM except stock are pre-rooted.

Ok just to double check what your saying.
I should do a wipe using the built in android factory reset.
Then just install the ROM using the recovery boot.
I will not have to use ODIN or any other soft ware. Just factory reset and install rom.
AW: [Q] Switching ROM and wiping
I'd factory reset in recovery, wipe cache and dalvik, format system and then flash the new ROM from your external sdcard
Please report if that way worked for you
But be sure to backup your apps with titanium backup

He's talking about wiping in recovery.
Dalvik, is kinda Java virtual machine on android, it does concerns you...
About ROM, I suggest you try them out all, and then you will find your Mr.Right, or Ms.Right

Nobody can tell you which rom is better .. All roms are amazing because of the work put into them try them out one by one.. you're not going to lose anything..
Ok cool. I installed OMEGA and I like that rom. I did a factory reset and wiped the Dalvik cache and cache. Will look around a bit more but so far so good....
however same issue with the phone. But now when the call ends it says process com.android.phone has stopped. Then i hit ok and phone is ok. It doesn't automatically restart then go really slow.
No idea about this, I searched however couldn't find a answer. Lots of phones and versions of android had this issue.
Any ideas would be great guys.

You need to go into mounts and storage in recovery and format system and data before you flash, as already explained

Is that different from what I did?
I booted into recovery. Did a factory reset. Wiped Cache and the Dalvik Cache. Then I installed the rom, did I do this wrong?

Factory reset wipe data, but not system, you need to format system and data

I just booted into recover did system format and data. However I still have the same issue. After phone call freezes for a second, vibrates then says com.android.phone has stopped working.
Follow exactly what I ve typed in the previous post... exactly that.. and which version of omega have you Downloaded
??
Hit thanks if I've helped

why not you backup your current rom first then try to flash a new rom without wipe data. if you not facing any issue on the new rom, then it's ok.
if you facing any issue, you must flash again the new rom with wipe all data. if you not happy with both, then you restore back what you are backup before.:fingers-crossed:

Yes I did. I factory reset. wiped cache and dalvik as well as formatting in the advanced options. I currently have Omega 44.2 installed. But I had the iphone app crashing with AROMA 30.1 and 30.4
Is there away to uninstall the phone app and then re install that cleanly?
I did this and still have the phone crashing issue.
Settings/apps/all/phone/wipe app data, likewise do same with contacts, reboot, see if that solves it

There is no white data. only buttons available are force stop and clear data. If I press clear data it says all data will be deleted permanently including all files, settings accounts, databases. I assumed the files were the actual app.
I went to settings. Applciation manager and chose Phone.
......hit clear data then, do that for phone and contacts storage, the data bases get rebuilt the only thing you will have to set up again is which contacts to display and any ringtone options etc you may have chosen

1st thing I would try is to boot to TWRP recovery and go into WIPE>ADVANCED> and tick DALVIC CACHE and CACHE(nothing else should be ticked) and swipe to wipe. Then reboot, 1st boot will take a while as it rebuilds dalvic cache, this can often fix problems with conectivity. I this fails to help you can try TWRP>WIPE and swipe to factory reset but this will remove apps and data so you will have to reinstall all your apps if you go this way(If you do try this I sugest doing a full TWRP backup[tick all partitions] so you can go back to where you are now if it doesn't help).

I don't really know. I guess you should have been more carefull to follow instructions. If you get the paid version of titanium backup there is an option(in paid version only) to restore apps and data from a nandroid backup that might work if your backup isn't too corrupt. In TiBu(titanium backup) press MENU(top right) and select "Extract from Nandroid Backup" and navigate to your backup (you might have to move the backup to internal sd or install "kitkat sdcard fix" to give tibu access to backuo on external sd.
