if it still does'nt work for ya..
you gotta do the factory reset.. it wont affect your intrenel data.. and if you got important apps, try backing up( if rooted, titanium or if you are not rooted.. there are some backup apps for non rooted but they wont manage torbackup data)

I have made a clean install from the original SE rom, but which ever rom i try, when installing something downloaded from marked, it reboots. It's works in the original.
I have tried to clear dalwik, and I have formatted the SD card.
Anyone have an idea?
**EDIT** It's the same with and without SD card ..
Newer ROMs seem to have this problem - try clear the market data. If that doesnt work try an older ROM
If you talking about v6 slade wipe after you put rom on phone x2

I had the same problem with CM7 roms... It seems to mostly happen if I try to download >1 app on a data connection. And try to do things while the phone is trying to download. Veeeery annoying
For future reference, I think there are 2 things you should try.
Wipe data from xrecovery/cwm TWICE. First before the flashing and then after the second reboot.
Format the SD card.
At least that what I did with cyanogen froyo 6.0.1 and it worked
Hi,
I've recently upgraded from CheckROM HD 2.0 to 3.1.1 on and every thing seems to be runing great with the exception of the camera.
Whenever I open the camera I get a message pop up that says 'Not enough memory'. This occurs even straight after rebooting or even clearing the memory on the phone.
I have tried reflashing the ROM, installing the camera hack from the kitchen, wiping the cache and anything else I can think of. Anyone else have any ideas?
No such problems myself, i suggest you ask in the CheckRom thread instead of starting a new one.

Says I need more posts or something.
Anyway, don't think its nessecarily CheckROM now. Flashed back to CRR HD 2.0 and I'm still getting the same error.
Think I might have to do a full wipe which I was hoping to avoid. Time to see how good Sprite Backup and Ti Backup work I guess.

because he has just 3 posts. you need ten to be allowed to post into development section.
@ thread starter: reflash, maybe with factory reset? it's always good to wipe your device when you switch to another rom.
How embarrasing...
I was just starting to run some backups before doing a full wipe and got a message from Sprite saying it didn't have enough room to store a dropbox backup. Went and cleaned up my last few CWM backups and and some old ROMs and kernels. Just before I jumped into recovery mode I hit the camera and it works fine now. Seems to be that I had run out of space on my internal SD card.
Oh well, problem fixed. Flashing back to 3.1.1 now.
Thanks for the help anyways

Hi all.
I was uninstalling unnecessary applications from my phone yesterday using root file delete and it seems I deleted something wrong so now my TwLauncher keeps crashing.
I downloaded another Launcher (which is not a very nice interface) temporarly because I was told that clearing cache from TwLauncher in settings would fix the problem but it did not. TwLauncher still crashing.
I re-installed TwLauncher from a file I found in another posts again it crashed, and tried installing TwLauncher 4.5, after istallation it also keeps crashing!!!
Please help I need TwLauncher to be good again and not crash coz other Launchers suck.
Factory reset. If that doesn't work, re-flash the rom you're currently running.

You should make backup before you start deleting apps. Never would you get into this situation.

Best post I've seen here this week. Wise words indeed. These phones are essentially mini PC's nowadays, fail to backup regularly at your peril (people who don't backup regularly always seem to be the people who really need them/could have done with one).
Is there any way of doing that without installing a ROM again or doing factory reset???
Even when I install a new TwLauncher 4.5 it still crashes..
any tips?

u cannot install System apps like other apps ma8, u mess with them and they start giving u only trouble nothing else
hence do flash the rom once again to get back ur TW launcher wrk'ng properly, and after that do make a backup

Do you lose your files and messages if you Flash a new ROM?
You lose your apps and messages call logs...
Merry christmas and Happy new year

*Sigh* I think you're missing a trick here, you may lose your files/messages but the point is, if you also make a BACKUP of those, it doesn't matter if you do or don't.

for messages u can use 'SMS backup pro' app, and for apps u can use 'Mybackup' or 'Titanium backup' apps (which require root permission though)

1. U can flash complete ROM using Odin and wipe data & dalvik from cwm. (u will loose messages & applications, but it'll work fine after that)
2. Never Uninstall/Install anything unless u are very sure about that. Uninstalling required apps can lead to this.

Hello, s2 galllery just become unusable. How ? Well I connected device to the pc, copyed some photos to pc and then deleted some photos of s2 gallery from my computer with shift+delete. after that I disconnect device and guess what? Yes gallery and photo itself either lags alot even though its even less photos in the mobile than before or does not even start or says gallery is not respoding. Restarted device - did not help. deleted gallery data(cache) from applications section also did not help. I hope to find an answer without doing a factory reset.
for now it doesnt even start - says loading for ever

Did you do a safe disconnect of device?
Also, why does doing factory reset bother you? All you need to do is backup apps/appdata via Titanium Backup Pro, and SMS via SMS Backup, factory reset and restore backups and contacts will sync via google account. Its no big deal your not going to lose anything.
Also, why on earth call this a "major bug" when its completely obvious that it isnt otherwise it would be very common and well known about already. Plus you dont even bother to mention what ROM you're using, did you even check the roms thread? Or if stock did you contact Samsung?
I don't like factory resets either, I actually avoid them.

Well if everything works fine, Its not that your "avoiding it" its simply that you "dont need" to use it. So your original comment makes no sense.
Only time you need to wipe data is when moving to a new rom base/type, If you face issues or if you just want to do a clean install.

Avoiding it by not messing up with it. I could choose to go and play with things that will require a factory reset. I think I made that pretty clear, you just have to read it, think about it and read it again.
I'm good with semantics & semiotics, didn't I tell you that?
BTW, I flash with MO, it does the wipping itself.
Be good now.

And at what point did you make it "pretty clear" ?
Also what has Mobile Odin got to do with the price of fish? The wipe in question is in general if you have issues with a particular rom resulting in attempting to clear it by clearing non-default data/settings, Not about when wiping before/after first rom flash which is mostly for custom roms via CWM when its strongly advised unless moving up version of same rom. Since it ounds like you only use stock rom then you will very rarely come across teh need to use wipe.
Either way its not that your "avoiding" it, its simply that you have no "need" to use wipe in your circumstances because its not necessary.
Wiping data/factory reset is no big deal either way as the most important stuff can very easily be backed up and restored so if you have issues with system and cant resolve it then just backup everything and do wipe (and/or clean install of rom) and restore it back, simple.

Second quote TheATHEiST
Obviously you are talking to somebody who is very inexperienced with Android.
You can always download gallery apps from the play store. This would be along your lines of something you can do to fix it.
Also this is not a major bug!! Very very very minor at best!

My rooted S2 has about 230mb left of the original ~2gb of internal storage (plus 10gb on the internal SD card aka USB storage). Yet, when I downloaded an 12mb app today, it said I was out of internal storage. How can that be? What is the remedy for that false message - like doing something via CWM? I did notice that by rebooting, the problem went away.
Greatest op title ever))) well my friend it seems ur phone knows that you are out of storage but he is not))))

That's why they call it a smart phone and why I call it a not-smart-enough phone.
Happens sometimes, i think its play services problem so don't waste time flashing something else or formatting, just wait for a while and it gets okay

Thanks. That is good to know. Because it does seem sort of random. I'll wait it out and see what happens. If I do have to format, though, what is the best method? Factory data reset? Or something more deep down via CWM?
i had this problem for months on my phone Galaxy S2,
and i found the solution, just dial *#9900# then select the second option "Delete dumpstate/logcat"
Hope this will work for you..

If you want to thoroughly clean your phone, i would recommend GS2RomNuke by hawkerpaul, which is flashed via recovery, just search it and read the instructions, its very easy.

Some apps are installing/updating, some still are not, like Google Hangouts.
I just tried #9900# and got this failure message: "Connection problem or invalid MMI code."
Any idea what those are and why I am seeing that? I am using NeatROM 5.5.
BTW, before installing NeatROM 5.5, I ran HawkerPaul's kernel nuke and rom nuke.
It's *#9900#, was lacking the asterisk.
