Welcome Setup Screen - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey folks. I'm having problems with not getting the setup welcome screen on factory reset. I have flashed countless roms over the past few weeks and never had a problem. It's ok when I flash custom roms but when I come to flash official rom on my sgs2 there's no welcome screen just goes straight to main screen. Please advise.
One more point us that this doesn't happen when I flash gingerbread official.

Thanks but that just reset my phone and formatted my sd cards. Still no sign of the welcome setup screen just boots and goes into main screen.
Still an issue

Try flashing a firmware with its stock rom..
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

Done that too. It only comes up when I load a custom rom, never official stock rom apart from official gingerbread. Bizarre I know
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

Bizarre it is,
Using cwm format cache system data preboot
Wipe dalvik
Download stock ROM flash using Odin.
If still issues I'll be going crazy lol

Arrrgh the problem still persists. I'm beginning to wonder if this has something to do with the root directory.

Why is this so important?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

It's not overly important but it's bugging me. I generally know my way round Android but this has really stumped me. It's bothersome.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

The welcome-screen-intro-thingy is part of the Google apps package - if Google apps aren't installed you wont get it. Are Gapps installed on your rom? If yes, try re-installing them.

They are, I'm running stock but have rooted and installed them to check if I was missing something.
Sadly nothing solved. I'm giving up on this now.

How to remove a kernel?

I just recently flashed the kholks kernel on my phone ( I know I spelled it wrong :/). & its been fine and all but when I start not using my phone it reboots alot and I don't like that at all. So how do you remove it? Thanks

You're going to want to go to faux's kernel thread and flash the stock kernel he provides there
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
oh okaay , so i cant jst go reset my phone ? like factory settings and ect ?
nope, you have to reflash your kernel.
Oh okaay , & it will stop rebooting at random times ?
If you use the right kernel then there should be no issues.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
Okay but how do you know which is the right one?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
You take notes of what your phone has before you start flashing. If you want me to tell you the right one, i'll tell you. Goto nexus one threads and flash the first kernel you see.

Galaxy Note camera issues

Hi Guys
I'm having issues with my camera on the Unlocked international GT-N7000.
I'm running ICS 4.0.4 and I flashed it using odin.
It says "camera failed" and sometimes "running media scan" and then crashes. Any ideas on how to fix this?

is the rom ure using an official version?
cus on many ics custom roms or ported roms the camera does not work and due kernel issues u might get problems with the media scan as u statet
so try a samsung stock ics firmware i guess its available for the note
Yeah it is the German official ROM. I'm going to re flash the rom as it gave me an issue on the first flash. I hope that works.

Well that didn't work. I'm also noticing a few crashes here and there and reboots. Any idea why?

try uninstalling the update and use the older one?
Or maybe someone else on AOKP( I's a traitor atm) can try the update out?
or hell, find a inverted gapps package, flash that and see if you still have issues.
Ok cuz I have already uninstalled you tube an install older have done wipes all I have not done is try inverted app. Way is an inverted app sorry for the dumb question.

Accidentally hit thanks.
If you don't know what the inverted version is, then you're not using it. The colors are swapped; whites are blacks. I don't even know if YouTube is included in the standard GApps package.
Yup not using it. Just like to say thanks an hope to be a pro like the rest of you.

Try flashing a different gapps. Inverted gapps, or installing from play store.
If all 3 are borked then you got something.
jelly aokp, inverted gapps, 200dpi. No issues.

Have you tried wiping dalvik cache? Because I have no problems on jellybeans ...maybe if that doesnt work, try factory reseting and reflashing the newest version of jelly beans

If you have read the basic faqs and guides and in particular the Freezing thread then your next step is a service centre .

throw the stock rom back on there and see if you have the same prob,if you do may be hdwr,if you dont then its software,at least you will narrow it down and know what direction you need to go.
