Hello I have been using my sgs2 for 4 months now and for less than a month ago after I installed SPB SHELL 3D using lucky patcher, at first things were fine for 1 week or something and suddently it started boot looping. I can only get it to work again if I do a delvik cache clean up. Basically my situation right now is, I have to do a delvik cache clean up everytime I restart my phone or else the phone will keep boot looping. It loops right after or while the media scanning takes place. Sometimes long after I keep it idle n unlock the screen to select my launcher, then it crashes n reboots. But after a delvik cache clean up everything works fine as long as I keep my phone on.
One more thing, even if I select the default launcher I always have to select which launcher in ever boot. Setting are not saved for some reason.
What could be the problem? I really dont want to do a factory reset, I never did one before and im sure ill loose all setting and all data in each apps.
Btw I have a rooted phone...
Thanks....

Grab titanium backup pricey but worth every penny, use that to backup your apps and settings, and then factory reset and restore back.
Otherwise backup apps and data for apps with titanium and upgrade your rom to a newer version.
Im waiting for ICS, but ill loose root if I update rom. N finding the root process for new rom is a whole new story...
Update on my phones problem:
I noticed, it does a bootloop cuz SPB is patched n it keeps tryin to check licence n crashes n for some reason IM+ lite autostart makes it worse... Though nowadays im+ gets removed along with many other apps for no reason.

Update:
The problem feels like its related to my SD Card... Maybe because of too many apps installed in SD... About 310 apps in total

I recently flashed over to powerwash 1.2 and ever since then none of my data gets saved at all. Like when I reboot all my apps are there but when I use one of them it is like its brand new and have to reenter my info. I tried re-flashing, wiping the data everything and nothing seems to work. Any fix's?
Never mind i got it all sorted out now finally. Mods can close this thread
Did u wipe dalvik cache and system?

Everytime my phone is rebooted or crashes after days of use without reboot, some apps for sure will be removed randomly. Specially new ones. Apps which hav been there for long stays.
IM+ lite is a must to be removed everytime.
Recently zedge which has been there for long time just got removed.
Android seems like a mess, apps which get removed, their data stays, n I manually uninstall all of them, n then do a corps cleanup with sd maid. Bt after a reboot, all of the data comes back n I have to uninstall them again.
Its being a very big problem. I cant restart my phone without loosing some apps n data. Please help. I hope ICS has a better app structure, n im willing to do a fresh start there... But I must be able to transfer my "EasyMoney" data to the new rom. It has all my money tranctions.
Plz help, thanks alot...

Reads as its wiping them from the sd card .
Android seems like a mess,
More like your phone not Android as this is not a normal problem .
I would backup all data apps etc .
Factory reset the phone and try
This reads like a corrupt sd card or similar .
After that who knows what your phone firmware is
original firmware return to Samsung service .
Rooted firmware try
....................................
Clean Slate for those that balls up the firmware .Or need to return to service or decide if its hardware/firmware problem .
Backup data first if phone is working .
Boot CWM recovery
Mounts and Storage
Format cache data system sd card .
Remove battery
Boot to download mode
Open Odin
Install correct stock firmware .
Still problems use usb jig to set rom counter to zero .
Return to service centre .

I just rooted my phone using CF-Root. Because its closest to stock. Did nothing else.
Will a factory reset remove root?
Does anyone know if ICS for samsung gs2 is releases or not?
Thanks...

No its embedded in the kernel if its a kernel root .

Think if you read the ten million posts on ICS is released you will have a better idea .

Thanks alot... I used to think after installing SPB Shell 3D and using lucky patcher to patch SPB, caused the problem to start. But I just removed SPB and installed Launcher Pro, and similar probles still exist. Spb nor launcher pro starts properly, have to keep force closing after startup. So am using TouchWiz (hate it)... The problem feels like its related to my SD Card... Maybe I installed too many apps to SD. Currently have about 310 apps all together... So ill just backup my easymoney app data n few sms, pics, musiz etc n just do a factory reset n install SPB...lets see what happens...
Thanks alot...

So I had a bizarre crash and now continuous rebooting. Let me explain what happened:
A friend messages me on Facebook to tell me his new number. It is highlighted so I click it and the dialer promptly opens and shows the number, and I highlight his number so I can paste it into his contact. When I click the copy button, the phone hangs, and shortly reboots.
I don't worry, these occasional crashes aren't unheard of. But when the phone reboots, it loads up a few widgets and my background before rebooting again. And you can see where this is going.
I figure I glitches some cache so I use vol up, power and home and wipe the cache. I think that fixed it, as I get about a minute then it goes again, and back we go to shorter times.
I'm at a loss to how this has happened. Any quick ideas? I'd like to avoid a factory wipe if I can avoid it.
Update and bump
So, it only occurs when I have my SD card installed???
Anybody know anything about this?
formatting sd card and factory reset helps ...
Trying to avoid factory reset - already used odin to reflash and it did nothing besides ruin my carefully preserved root which I have now restored.
Now I'm exploring whether some weird app has installed to SD card and is playing weird, whilst I scan the SD card for problems.
I did find other threads talking about this issue in ICS:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1446961&page=9
but we shall see...
At this point, I'm sure that Factory and SD wipe would probably work, but I'm now as curious WHY it's happening, perhaps to help others later.
actually its happening with more posts tht i seen ,is wiv ppl using app2sd an movd all apps to sd...the prblm dosnt come if the apps r left were it is instead of moving...
I had the same problem after installing the insecure kernel.my cell started restarting.
Than I flashed a different kernel provided by chainfire. Bingo issue resolved ;-)

Why not use TB to backup all your apps & data then do a factory wipe/reset. Copy your SD card to your PC then format it. Reinstall TB then all your apps & data.

i've changed batteries from my 1650mAh to my 2000mAh a lot of times but i haven't experienced getting frequently rebooted.. i don't think it's about the battery changes.. you could try doing a wipe
It's running stock,and have bunch of apps..and my dad don't want me to root to backup for him,without root wat can I do to back up app with data?
Sent from my HTC Desire Z using xda app-developers app
I think you can backup apps without root with My Backup from the Market. But you need root to restore them. So, no joy...
Sent from my GT-I9100
is clearly rom issue. you should root the phone, make a back up (just in case). /wipe cache and dalvik. and un root it.so there wouldn't be any difference. or you could do it the right way and..root it back up with titannium or else, wipe cache dalvik, data/system factory and format /system, enter downlaod mode, flash via odin an stock rom, root it again, restore all apps and data. and un root it.
or try..
maybe one of the apps you are using is causing the problem.. I would start uninstalling unneeded apps and see if the problem fixes itself... after that I would try deleting cache for any apps that may cause problems... but the sure way as others mentioned is to flash a fresh ROM
Well,its not that I have enough time to root and back up it,its my father s2 as I'm trying to help out he factory reset it..now he said everything is okay..so let's hope it will stay like this till the end of the s2 life in my father's hand LOL anyway thx guys for ur support

Recently I flashed my phone with Cookiesandcream-quincyatt-1012 rom and my phone went all laggy and slow.
restored back to my CM10quincyatt that i had prior to cookiesandcream, and now that was acting all laggy.
I have tried several different roms(slim bean, liquid jb, cm9, cm10, and jelly beer, which seems to be working the best at least) and all of them seem to have the same issue, they act slow as soon as I use the volume rocker, and then my volume delays 10 seconds or so before it actually changes, and there not even sound coming from my phone. and is just laggy and has delays when i touch apps/settings etc.
aswell as soon as i boot up the phone after a flash, i get the gapps welcome setup screen(wifi setup, google account stuff, etc.)
i click "OK" and the button turns blue and will stay blue for 10 seconds before it actually does anything.
I have done factory reset, cache, dalvik cache, internal storage wipe.
Nothing seems to work.
It worked a tiny better after internal storage wipe, but i just need my phone in a useable state right now.
can anyone help? :s

Data.......you likely have either old data that is intended for a different architecture...
, or you are restoring data into the builds by using a restore app like titanium backup.
Several of the roms you mention are very fast and smooth when set up properly, but it is very important to clean the device before a flash, and keep it clean by installing applications from market..
Many users do restore apps via titanium backup and other applications designed to do so, but you must never restore the data associated with the apps from a previous build, unless it is the same build.
Wipe cache
Dalvik cache
data
and system...prior to any new build, and again, do not restore apps that contain data.....g

I have done all of the above many times, and installed new roms, the roms always end up laggy, the improve over time,
but once the phone restarts, it becomes laggy again.
also i have no sound coming from my phone at all.
music wont even play. I press play and it immidiatly pauses. even if i try to press play again.
and i have never used titanium backup, the only time i restore, is using the restore function in TWRP using a backup of a previous rom i had. I never ported any data from any apps using programs like that.
by the way, when i look through my mounts and storage(using CWM), it shows that all my things say "mount /efs" or "mount /data" and so on.
are all of these supposed to say unmount?
EDIT: Solved problem, Unrooted the phone using odin3 v3.04 and stock I717RUXLF4_I717RRWCLF4_I717RUXLF4_HOME.tar.md5 and re-rotting solved the problem.
Data corruption .....
I'm glad you found the cause .....g
than go flash black star, no chance of that problem
