Text copy or paste not working - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hii, text paste is not working on my phone.. I tried to copy some text.. When i long press the touch to paste it.. There is no paste option. Comes as clipboard. Any solution regarding this.
I think my phone is not copying any text.
It all happend when i tried copy a post from xda forum by copy post content option. My phone hangs and then restarts. Copying used to work normally untill i tried this.
I dnt know for sure may be its a bug in xda app.
Kindly look into it and provide silution.
Thanks and regards

are you using a custom rom?
if yes then provide a link.

No.. Its stock and rooted.

1. have you disabled\froze any services\apps ?
2. swapped keyboards?
3. installed new apps?
4. are there any modifications to your stock firmware (no matter how small or insignificant they may seem) other then root?
i don't recommend it but you can try to clear dalvik cache first
if that does not work wipe cache
last resort is factory reset
to clear your system cache, you have to enter your phone in the "recovery mode"
press and hold the "Volume UP + power + home button"
once in the "recovery mode" select advanced > wipe dalvik cache
reboot your device by selecting "reboot system now"
didn't work?
go back to recovery and
"Wipe Cache partition"
last resort is factory reset
try at your own risk!

Thanks mate... But i dnt to reset and downlOad all apps again.. I can live without copy paste..

[Q] How to flash a ROM steps for TB

I am new to rooting and I wanted to flash another ROM other than the stock one after rooting. I followed the steps given to root my TB and that was cake. Thanks for the simplicity. I am now looking to add the Virus ROM but not 100% confident in how to do this. There are several steps given for other devices but I have yet to see one for the TB. If someone could point me in the right direction or link me to the actual steps that would be appreciated.
Install Clockwork Recovery
Boot into CWR
Select "wipe data/factory reset"
Select "yes -- delete all data"
Go back using the softkey
Select "install zip from sdcard"
Select "choose zip from sdcard"
Find and select your desired ROM
Reboot
Download the rom you want which will be store on your phones SD Card in Downloads then make a Backup of the rom you have now . Go into Rom Manager and select backup current Rom , you'll get a pop up were you can name the rom whatever you want , let it do it's thing , it will backup then restart the phone. When the phone restarts go into rom manager again and select Install Rom From SD Card , it will take you to your SD Card where you'll go into Download where the rom is stored , select the rom you downloaded you'll get a pop up which will ask if you want to wipe , check wipe and then ok . Let it do it's thing again when it down it will restart and ask you to set up you accounts just follow the steps . When everything is set up go in to the market and select My Apps you should see all your application downloading give them some time to download. Then it's all up to you to set up your home screens .
Don't forget to wipe the cache partition , and also select advanced and wipe dalvik cache. I would do all the steps listed above and these 2x, just to be on the safe side.
Where can I find those options?

I'm new to Android but have some experience with rooting on other types of devices. I'm looking at flashing this ROM with ROM Manager and the process above: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1041514
I think I understand what's happening on the phone when I do this but wanted to make sure. Other than the usual disclaimers about risk of bricking, is there anything else I need to know?
just in case you didn't know how you hold volume down and the power button to get to hboot and then pick recovery from there. otherwise if you just want easy download rom manager from the market

Where can I find these options, and in what part of the flashing process should I do them?
Just a quick question, its really not necessary to wipe data and cache very time is it?

[Q] Wrong camera icon how to delete?

I installed a wrong camera.apk on my GS2 (Kernel XWKG1) but when I deleted the apk from system/app the icon in the application menu didn't disappear.
Now I installed the modified version of camera.apk for GS2 and it works, but I still have a different icon that I cannot delete because it's seen as a system app.
If i try to delete again the new camera.apk the only icon that goes away is the right one.
Is there a way to delete the wrong one?
PS:Can someone send me the original camera.apk for my phone?
See if the rouge shows in Titanium, if so, just use Titanium to un-install and reboot into CWM Recovery clearing dalvik.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I'm sorry, but I'm pretty new about those things.
Titanium is an app for backup right?In any case I can't see camera.apk in the list.
And then what is it the "recovery clearing dalvik"?
There are a number of ways to enter Recovery. Some are:
1. If your custom ROM has an advanced power menu APM (when you press the power button and then select reboot, there will usually be an option for recovery.
2. Use Chainfire's CWM app.
3. Power off, hold volume up + menu + power button. In that order. Keep all pressed until in recovery mode.
Once in recovery, navigate to (I think) wipe.... Or advanced....
Just look for dalvik cache and wipe/delete.
You can navigate buy using volume = up/down, power = back, home = select.
If you cannot access this recovery, you don't have it installed. Easiest way is by flashing a custom ROM / kernel combo or Chainfire's CF root kernel. Root required.
Titanium backup is a app for backing up apps and data,.as well as much more.....
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
OK, so, I have the "reboot into clockworkmod recovery" in CWM.
This is what I need, right? When I'm in recovery mode I will be able to delete the icon from the menu?
To exit that recovery mode I just have to reboot the phone normally?
Thanks.
As I said, just wipe/delete dalvik cache and reboot. See what happens. It will take a few minutes to boot, don't worry.
In Recovery you can also flash custom rom (flashable zip from sdcard) and make restore nan-backups etc. Best to back up like this before updating rom, flashing themes etc so you can return if you don't like new or have issues.
To exit recovery, you can navigate to reboot phone/system or power off.

Sorry, I didn't do exactly as you told me, but I solved the problem.
I first tried to uninstall the app using titanium, it worked for a while but never finishing, so I killed titanium app and then, if I clicked on the wrong app, instead of saying "forced interruption" it said "application not installed on the phone", but the icon was still there.
Then I tryed to reboot on recovery mode, but I didn't do anything in that, only clicked reboot and then the icon was chanced in a sheet with SD written on it, I clicked on modify and then it let me erase the icon just like a normal app.
Thanks anyway for the support!
Now I have another little problem though, when I shutdown the phone, instead of remaining off it reboots automatically.
What could it be?
What rom and kernel are you using, themes, and made any changes recently... Apart from above?
Also, are you undervolt / overclock cpu?
Edit: also try a battery pull for a few minutes, or reflash rom, or worst case, full wipe in recovery followed immediately by flashing rom.
There are a number of app that can backup apps and data, including titanium,.the pro version allows batch restore and much more. Can also repair market links etc.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I used the modified kernel just to root the phone and then reflashed the original kernel, no themes, no overclocking.
Now I try with the battery pull.
EDIT: battery pull didn't work.
EDIT2: Reflashing kernel with odin, yes!it worked!
Excellent

[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 ?

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

Flashing Custom ROMs
STEPS:
Download any Custom ROM for Xperia U. You can get it from here.
Do read instructions in the thread because every ROM may have a different requirement of Kernel and way of installing but basic idea is same.
Place your ROM i.e. xxx.zip file in your Root of SDCard (in internal storage)
Power off the device
Power on and repeatedly press volume down (-) button after SONY logo appears until you see the recovery
Now to clear cache scroll down to wipe cache partition and select it and scroll down to yes
To clear data or do a factory reset scroll down to wipe data/factory reset and select it and scroll down to yes
To clear dalvik cache scroll down to advanced select it again scroll down and select wipe dalvik cache
After you perform all the steps press back to enter main menu
Scroll down to install zip from sdcard and select it
Scroll down to choose zip from sdcard and select it
Now scroll to the ROM i.e. xxx.zip and select it and scroll down to yes to confirm.
Press back and reboot system.

Before doing all this, your device must have root access and CWM Recovery install.
Dont know how do it? Use search button and dont be lazy person.

[Q] flashing cfw on sd with cwm the same steps or different?

hi i have used mindcr 2.9 rom i like it but wanted ro try different rom. well i have flashed mindcr many times cause i deleted something i need. so i toght i should try ankther rom in this case i chose simplicity v4 . but i cold not go into download mode only recovery so i wanted to flash back stock rom but i coldnt tried everything epcept the usb jig .. anyways i sent it to repair.. ill be getting it tomorrow. it was working only thing download mode did not work i tried all methods no luck . so here is my question... can you install another rom over mindcr with cwm? i search and many people said yes. so i did an phone got hard brick. if it dont matter then the procedure that i followes was wronf. are all roms installed trhu cwm in sd ca rd always the same dprocedure??? if so should i used the mindcr that i been using. any link for simplicity v4 ultimate i dont want v5 procedure from mind ans simplicity were almost the same are roms always installed the same procedure? i think if u can install a rom over anoher rom installed procedure from place i followed bricked my phone... thanks
It is best to install a Rom over stock. Even flashing over a Rom works sometimes. And yes every Rom is installed through cwm or e3 recovery. Simplicity v4 should be flashed the same way as mindcr Rom.

When you go into CWM recovery, there should be a section called Backup/Restore. Back up here, it Will take about 150mb-350mb of your sd card depending on what you have. So if flashing your Rom goes wrong you can go back to CWM and restore.
Then follow the procedure which is
- Root
- CWM
- Mount everything (it should look like unmount/system, unmount/data etc)
- wipe data and cache
- Advanced » wipe dalvik cache
- Mount everything again
- Install .zip from sd. Find the Rom and flash it.
This procedure will definitely work. If it doesn't just restore and try again.
Also, don't say thanks, but press it if I helped you
