Need help

Please I need help. I had Omega 9.1 installed but today I decided to add a theme (Vertumus ICS domination 1.1) and when I installed it something went wrong. Now it's telling me that systemui has stopped working also I can't transfer or get any files from the phone. CMW even says that it can't mount the internal sd card. Please I need info on what to do next. I want to if possible to not remove my data but if it's needed I will do it. I also wish to use omega again, what are the things that I have to do.
Thank you in advance !
Edit: What if I tried replacing the systemui.apk ?
Try flashing Omega again and immediatly wiping Cache and Dalvik Cache aswell as using Advanced->Fix permissions.
That may fix the issue.

[Q] BootLoop Problem !

Hi guys, I'm new to this Forum
Actually, Im having this problem…
It all about my font ..
I was using the fonts from settings > display > font … but then I thought of changing a newer font, and so I downloaded “Font Installer”
I didn’t read the instructions carefully before I download and install…It says **Backup first before you do anything**, and so, I install the font and it change my browser’s font and the folder font (like when you create a folder, it will show you how many app you have in the folder, it changed the numbers too)
I wanted to change it back to my original font but it wouldn’t let me anymore, I downloaded other fonts but it still doesn’t work..
My friend told me the original font for S2 ICS is [Roboto-regular.ttf]…
So, I try and try and try, finally, it allows me to change the font and it ask me to reboot.
Okay, I reboot my phone, then the phone starts and keep on loading at the “S Samsung Galaxy S II Logo’ and I wait and wait, it still doesn’t do anything..
Im thinking of my phone was BRICKED..Then I ask my friend straight away about it…What he told me was it is just “BootLoop” (not sure what is that)…
He ask me to do these steps..
1. Volume Up + Home Button + Power Button
2. It then directs me to CWM, It gave me 6/7 choices… (reboot system, wipe data, wipe cache and few more)
3. 1st I click reboot system (still doesn’t do anything), then 2nd I click wipe cache ( click yes and then I click reboot system again), not working also…
4. then my friend ask me to clear dvcache and clear all data, he say it will lose everything…
What should I do now ?
I've saved my contacts in my SIM..gallery, apps doesn't care anymore..
If so, do i need to reformat my phone ?
It won't help you so don't wipe

So can you go into CWM? (Volume up+home+power). Clear the cache and dalvik cache. Then go to install zip from internal SD(depends if you put in phone storage or micro SD.). Find the file from the above and install. Then reboot. Should be fine then.

I manage to get into CWM and I've done the wipe cache step...but for the dalvik cache(my friend told me that it will erase all your phone data files- reformat)..
If not, what does dalvik cache do ?
and i also cant connect my phone to pc /.\ zzz

Dalvik cache is just for the apps data. It doesn't reformat. Its not much actually. Just that it might cause errors with you don't wipe it. Hmm. Put it in micro SD card then. Install from external SD and reboot.
Sent from my potato.
When your phone starts up, the Dalvik Virtual Machine ( Dalvik Cache) looks at all your apps and frameworks, and creates a tree of dependencies which is stored in the dalvik-cache. This allows applications to run in an optimised state (and explains why your phone takes longer to boot up after applying a new rom, it’s rebuilding the cache.)
SO when flashing new roms without wiping dalvik cache sometimes will result in Force Close issue due to Dalvik VM skipping the caching process for apps as it detected existing app cache.
To connect your phone to the computer, connect it and in CWM go to "mounts and storage" . The last option should be "mount usb storage". Then you can move the file written above

[Q] Installing our selected ROMs data/cache

When we reboot into cwm recovery to install our selected roms, do i need to wipe the data and cache AFTER or BEFORE i install the roms / gapps that i want to? Need help here !
- One more, those who are experience like me when i installed (cm10 port by Psyke) noticed that music app does scan SD card, but then no songs are shown when the app launches, thus leaving it to be blank / left only symbols at on top of the screen . Is really music doesnt work yet for the beta release? thanks for any response

If it's the next version of the current Rom you have, then wiping /data and /cache partitions is not nessesary. If it is an entirely different Rom then you should do a wipe as the phone won't boot properly.
As for your second query, a temporary solution is to use a different media played. I had the same problem with the initial cm10 builds for the galaxy s3.

Data cache partition
Erm ok. But wiping cache partition doesnt really wiping my items in SD card right ? and u said if other roms need to wipe the datas and caches but i need to do it BEFORE or AFTER i install the rom? i mean before we install i need to press the wipe data n cache OR after i install wipe data n cache?

Wiping /data and /cache doesn't wipe your sdcard content. It only wipes your installed apps and its data.
Doing a wipe before and after doesn't matter. But generally we do it after flashing a ROM.

I think if u wipe data/dalvik, restore, reboot, propably will work

You can restore the backup with out data wiping since cwm recovery wipes /data and /cache before restoring a backup.

[Q] SMS/MMS app crashing at launch

Hello,
I wanted to install that MMS mod fix and now my SMS/MMS app is ****ed up, everytime I open it, it won't start and crashes right after. I'm running stock 4.1.1 DLIH. Does anyone have the stock SMS/MMS files that could fix it ?
Here's a link to the zip I've installed : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33367197&postcount=45
Thanks for your help.
Hi,
1. Have you uninstalled the apk mod?
2. Have you tried a full wipe?
3. In case nothing works, try to flash the stock rom again via odin
Cheers
Hey, thanks for your time.
1) How can I uninstall the APK (I'm noob in Android, I come from Windows Phone..) ?
2) If I do a wipe, will I lose everything ? And to proceed, do I have to enter CWM then "do a wipe/cache" ?
3) I'll do that if nothing can fix it.
Thanks for your help.

If you do a data wipe, you will lose everything. Let's try just the wipe cache and wipe dalvik, don't do the data wipe to preserve your apps and configs. If I doesn't work, try the data/cache/dalvik wipe. You are right, just enter on CWM to perform cache and dalvik wipe.
3) I'll do that if nothing can fix it.

Yes, lets hope for the best, maybe it wont be necessary. Good luck! If you need help on step 3, just say it.
Just checked and the APK isn't in the list. There is no way to have a *.zip with the stock files I could install to fix my problem ?

hum... Unfortunately I don't know the answer for this. You can try a search on xda forum and google.
I would try a search, if no success, I would try step 2 (wipe cache and dalvik) and if nothing works, step 3.
Good luck!
Cheers
This mod is probably made for deodexed rom
You run a rooted stock rom which is probably odex
So:
-use root explorer (or similar app) and move secmms.odex file from /system/app to your SDcard (internal or external) as backup
-restart in CWM
-wipe cache
-wipe dalvik cache
-restart your phone
-check if you still have your issue

Happened to me once: the app disappeared from dock
Check if the app is still in the app drawer.
If it is still there, then just move it back to dock

How To full wipe all scripts/mods

Fellow Users,
I wiped:
- Factory/Wipe data
- Dalvik
- Cache
- Every storage
did a fixed permission
- Switched different roms Stock and Custom
- Switched different kernels stock and custom
- Flashed with Odin and with CWM Recovery.
How can i get rid of the nasty scripts or mods that are stuck ??
Is there a way to clean everything harder and deeper than what i did ?
How about init file or something?? i dont have ADB
I think this is how. follow these.
1. Factory reset / Wipe data
2. Wipe Cache partition
3. Wipe Dalvik
4. Go to mount & storage
5. Fix Permissions
6. format /cache
7. format /system
8. format /data
9. format /preload
10. format /sdcard
Try these. But make sure you have a rom to flash on external sdcard. because formatting these will remove system and you will not start phone without flashing a rom.

To fully format the phone you could also use megawipe. It is a flashable zip for cwm which will remove anything, also your sd card. Hence better have a flashable rom on your external sd. You can find it in the dev section or search for mega wipe.

Thanks for help,
I try the method rl421403 says but it didnt help, i also flashed the mega wipe zip file and did the wipe but that also didn't work.
Maybe it is hardware related? is there a way to test this?

Maybe let us now what you want to delete exactly.
Usually the mega wipe well erase any file and leave a blank slate.
