For the past few weeks Ive been running AOKP and it has been randomly freezing up on me. Its always the same way. I grab my phone from my pocket, I wake it and what ever i try and do doesnt matter cause its frozen. Then in a few seconds its fine. It happens a few times a day. Well I finally got sick of it and switched to CM9 and I started getting the same thing. So I went to Calks ICS 1.5 which ive never had problems on before but it still does it on this rom too. There has to be something wrong with my E4GT. Can someone help ?

I'd say it's probably time for a full wipe. If I've been doing a lot of flashing, I like to wipe out both SD's, odin back to stock and start absolutely fresh. A lot of apps leave file behind on SD and I like to clean up so I know everything is running properly. I posted my method here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24056900&postcount=9930
Up to you which one-click odin you use but this way you're ensured a completely fresh start. BTW, you DO use Calk's format all whenever you go to a new rom correct?
Yes I usually use calks format but not everytime . I usually follow the devs instructions and they don't always say use calks format all. Should I use it no matter what?

Ok gotcha, that is a very good question. You mentioned AOKP and I'm not very familiar with it but I do know it is designed very differently than the ICS leak that is out and also CM9 is different also. You may want to ask about AOKP but I think the safest way to go if you're using ICS and want to flash a ROM or Kernel is to ALWAYS Odin (mobile app or from computer) Chris41G's Stock EL26 Kernel from here:
http://chris41g.devphone.org/index.php?dir=EpicTouch/Stock+Repack/EL26/
Flash Calkulin's Format All, and then flash your rom. If you keep doing it that way, you should stay safe.
Now, there are a few kernels coming out for ICS that say they're safe to flash ROM's with but I'm not taking the chance. I hear too many stories about people forgetting what rom or kernel they're using and accidentally bricking their phones while on ICS. I like my phone too much, I'm going to keep using the EL26 method.
I just read today, a couple users on AOKP tried to flash something else from AOKP recovery and they hosed up their phones possibly.
The format all is safe to use and clears all the data and wipes the partitions so you can flash a rom cleanly. That is what it was designed for.
All the freezing started started soon after I started flashing AOKP and CM9. Ive never done a fresh wipe before I've only been flashing for a few months. All I'm interested in saving is my music and if I can my text messages but most important my music. I saw the thread you posted for me but is there anything more detailed that I can use to back up to my PC and to wipe my phone?
I cant figure out how to save my pictures to my PC, as soon as I connect it theres no file anywhere, only the stupid screenshots i took. This phone is a nightmare . Somebody please help me I need to do wipe it clean. Also when I connect my phone to my laptop, it gives me 2 different ports removable disk E, and removable disk D. my pictures are no where to be found. It makes no sense at all. somebody please just give me a detailed description on how to save my pictures to my laptop and wipe this stupid phone clean. I have the EL29 root files and CWM I just need to know how to reset it like it came out of the box.

1. Its not a stupid phone, it works great.
2. Make sure you have the correct Samsung drivers installed on your laptop. Google and you can find them easily.
3. Once your phone is recognized by your PC, copy n paste your files. You will have 2 places to copy from if you did this correctly, one is internal card and the other is external SD.
4. If you can't get these results, you bricked your phone from not reading beforehand.
5. If all else fails, go to download mode with volume down+power when your phone is off and try sfhubs ek02 one click method.
6. Profit.

You are not understanding. I have correct drivers installed and my pc does recognize my phone. ive copied and pasted my music successfully but under pictures is only my screenshots. all the other pictures that i have on here that i would like to save are not here. I know what im talking about ive done this many times. theres obviously something wrong with this phone because when i turn on usb storage i get 2 to pick from. Disk E and Disk D. one gives me more access to my phone that the other . Id like to take a pic of it and show you but as you know i cant take a picture with my phone while its in sync.
why would I wanna use EKO2 method?? it should be EL29 right ??
Always do a full wipe when changing platforms. Ics to aokp, aokp to cm9. You can get away with wiping cache and dalvk cache when upgrading to the next release of same rom usually, but if anything strange happens wipe and reflash.

Look for a folder called 'DCIM' for the pictures.
Also it doesn't really matter EK02 or EL29. I think sfhub said something about EK02 being special in some way but I just can't think of it right now.
EL26 is the other that is good for flashing to ICS. I havent noticed any difference between EL26 and EL29. You don't really need to make a backup on your computer if you just copy your pics over to the SD card. Ive flashed this phone proly 100 times and its never touched the SD card.

He's having issues so I recommended a full wipe which included formatting both the internal and external SD.
Maybe not necessary but a file cleanup couldn't hurt.
OK I'm gonna run the the EL29 full restore one click self extractor . I'm gonna use the reset dataone. Will that wipe my phone enough? Or do I need to do more??
No, that sounds good.

I erased everything and ran the one click. I installed calks ICS 1.6 and it was fine all day. then just a few minutes ago i unlocked my phone and it was frozen for like 5 seconds again just like it was doing before. WTF????
Did you reinstall or restore any apps?

I'm wondering if one of your apps is to blame. You can freeze all bit the necessary ones to see if it makes a difference.

I only reinstalled a few apps. right from the market. i had wiped my whole phone. are you sure that One click file I odined reset my phone??
ive been having the same freezing issue since FF02, its pretty annoying and i hope it gets fixed before OTA. if not ill just run a older leak
Ive tried several ROMs over the years on my ATT GS3. Lately Ive been using the Liquid Smooth ROM. About 4 months after install I started getting screen flashes/colors, random restarts, the phone was getting hot and Ext SD card errors so it was pretty much unusable. Went to try some other ROMs and cant get them to flash. Tried Beanstalk, ProBAM, and Goodness Reborn and they fail immediately. Ive downloaded from different mirrors and the file size is identical. Ive tried flashing from internal and still wont work. Also updated TWRP throughout this process and didnt fix it. The only one that does flash is Synergy but im not a fan of 4.1. Would rather have 4.2/4.3.
Any ideas on why these ROMs arent flashing? Ive tried multiple times.
I dont know the ins and outs all that well but it seems something is corrupted. Would it make sense to odin back to stock/unroot and start fresh? Follow this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2186967
Or is this a fixable issue without going through all that?

From what it sounds, it could be a bootloader problem. Did you ever update to 4.1.2? All 4.3 ROMs require at least the 4.1.2 bootloader, which you can get without Odin'ing 4.1.2 from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2321310
As always read, read and read. If this doesn't help, I recommend maybe trying out CWM (I'd restore back to your TouchWiz backup since that backups from TWRP and CWM aren't compatible.) If that still doesn't help, then by all means, Odin to stock, OTA to 4.1.2, root and go on. As always, this is just information from one member to another, so I am in no way, shape or form responsible for anything and everything that could go wrong.
The 4.1.2 ota update just came out today so no. I'll try that in the morning thanks!

Fail immediately? As in you're able to flash them but can't boot properly or you have glitches?
Sounds like a hardware issue to me. Hope you got warranty.
I click install, select the zip and it starts working for a couple seconds and fails.
Just updated the bootloader and ProBAM and Goodness failed. Tried Beanstalk and it completed fine. Gonna try it out for a bit. It is 4.3 so not sure what the issue it with the other ROMs yet
Beanstalk is up and running. Thanks drx!!
edit
Just dl'd Carbon ROM and CM 10.1.3. Both failed immediately when I used TWRP to flash them. Updated bootloader, updated SuperSU. Should I go back to CWM?
What am I missing? If there are no other ideas is my only option to ODIN back to stock and try again?

Try Task650's rom. It's the most stable and smooth I've used. Also, he has good instructions on what bootloader to use.

Moved to internal and flashed fine. Rebooting now.
Spent most of yesterday on AirDroid moving files back to my external. Came back and it looks like it killed the battery. Plugged in, rebooted and now my ext sd card wont show up. I bought a 64GB Samsung microcard off Ebay. Formatted on the phone and started tranferring files fine. Was going slow but working. Really dont want to format and start over but the phone wont even see it so I cant format it from the phone.
Hello everyone and greetings from Finland
First i must say that this is my first android phone so i am a total newbie.
I have the Galaxy Ace 2 GT-I8160 and its updated with the Kies program from gingerbread to jellybean 4.1.2.
After the upgrade the internet is very slow (i dont use wifi), sometimes i cant get the connection at all and overall the phone is not working properly.
I send the phone to service when i have warranty left. The circuit card was changed to a new one but the phone acts the same way, i have also made factory reset but nothings helps. I dont also have many apps etc. installed so that cant be the reason.
What do you guys think would be the best solution ? Internet was working better with gingerbread so should i downgrade back to gb or maybe try a custom rom
Many thanks in advance guys
About downgrade to GB i also think about it every day, because it works best with GB. But I'm already used to JB. If you wish to stay at stock 4.1.2 try Kyrillos V9, great rom, ore Team Canjica CM 10.1 those two are bugfree as far as I know, maybe it will help.
Thanks for your reply !
I forgot to say that i use my phone almost for basic use sms, internet, photos, music editing , gmail etc. and of course i want to try different apps. But Galaxy ace 2 has so low memory that it barely runs even for basic use
I would like to keep jellybean 4.1.2 and try a rom but it has to be stable so i dont have to panic if something goes wrong
nusko_x mentioned Kyrillos rom and Team Canjica CM 10.1, are they stable and easy to use for a newbie like me ?
There are sooo many roms out there that i get confused

you can get cyanogenmod 10.1 for a really bugfree and smooth experience and yes you can always swap your memory to get rid of the low memory issue
@NangaParbat75: Do you get HSDPA when browsing? (You see a "H" in the statusbar when you have HSDPA connection).
Thanks guys !
I will try the cyanogenmod 10.1 , isnt this the right link for install http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2452315 ?
But before that i have questions. I have searched about what to do before installing the new rom but i have got mixed answers or then i havent understood it.
So, after rooting the phone i back up data etc. and for me especially back up the whole rom i have before installing the new one.
But regarding this "backup" progress, in what particular order is it done, do you guys maybe have a good link ?
Then a stupid question about the SD card , all i have is the microsd that came with the phone when i bought it. Is it enough ?
@Frankie73 , i have the "H" in the statusbar when surfing so its ok i think ? Here where i live the connection is not so good but it worked quite good before upgrading..

OK, when you see the "H" then the connection speed should be ok. So maybe the problem is the browser itself? I noticed that some browsers, that worked very well for me on GB, didn't do well on JB. Dolphin for example. So maybe just try another browser. For me the best is Next Browser, but there are a lot to try out / choose from.
@Frankie73 i have now nextbrowser but its the same and i have tried many others, thanks anyway.
I have done more research and if i have understood it right the Team Canjica cyanogenmod 10.1 doesnt require root access ?
So basically i only have to unlock bootloader to flash the custom recovery and get nandroid backup, and then i am ready to install cyanogenmod ?
Is this safe to do , i mean think if something goes wrong and i loose the nandroid backup ? Then the phone is gone ..
AFAIK you don't need root for CM. Just install temporary CWM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2141395) and you should be able to flash CM10.1. And yes, I think it's save when you do a backup, although I never had to use it myself since I never had any problems when flashing CM10.1 or CM11. Besides backup you can always use odin to flash the official JB.
Thanks for your reply !
Now i know that CM has root-access but i am still confused how to back up the whole device if something goes wrong.
So please, what is the best way to do the whole backup ? @Frankie73 , what do you mean with "use odin to flash the official JB" ?
And then there is the Bootloader thing. Should i unlock it ?
Can i try non-rooted roms in the future even if Bootloader is locked ?
-I dont think our bootloader is locked :/
-Do a nandroid backup lol
-Odin is a windows app for samsung devices to flash stock firmware files :/
Sent from my GT-I8160 using Tapatalk
Yeah, as Teddy said, no need to unlock bootloader on our device.
And what I meant was that if anything goes seriously wrong and you can't restore your backup, you still have the option to flash the stock Samsung JB through Odin.
Please hit the "Thanks" button if my posts were helpful for you
Sorry guys, now i hit the "Thanks" button for you !
I still have issues to clear out so please be patience.
Ok, so no bootloader unlocking.
At very first i will do a Nandroid Backup via Recovery and ROM Manager, but doesnt it require your phone to be rooted ?
Regarding the nandroid backup, it will be created on the SD-card , but does my phone have a SD-card ?
I havent bought any separate SD-card , the phone has a microsd card that came with it when i bought the phone.

Just open the slot on the side of your Ace2 and check if there's a sd card inside If not go and get one - you will need it if you will use custom ROMs.
I don't know if root is needed for doing a full backup but rooting from stock JB is really very simple:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2139263
It's done in less then 5 minutes.
Ok, i will buy a 8gb Sd-card, that should be enough
So, I will do the following:
1. Root the stock JB
2. Make a Nandroid Backup via Recovery and ROM Manager
3. Install Cyanogenmod 10.1 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2452315
Is this correct ?
1. Root not needed for cwm to work
2. No theres a temp cwm in dev forums. Dont use rom manager
3. Btw backups are usually 800mb-1gb+ so make sure you have space
Sent from my GT-I8160 using Tapatalk
I am confused
So what is the difference between permanent and temporary CWM ?
The words 'permanent' and 'temporary' are in dictionaries :/
Perm- forever(until you change)
Temp- stock recovery installed so you must flash temp cwm everytime you want to use it.
Sent from my GT-I8160 using Tapatalk
Thanks again for reply !
So with temp cwm i also get the nandroid backup ?
Lets say that something goes wrong and i want my stock jellybean back, what do i have to do then ?
Yes you can backup with temp cwm
Flash stock jb via odin

Please forgive me if this is in the wrong spot or if I broke some forum rule, I have never posted here but I have read a ton, thanks for all the help you guys have posted by the way.
First off I am not by any means an expert on computers and rooting but I have a decent understanding of the basics and can easily follow online instructions to root. I obviously have a d2att, I recently rooted it. I was happy with it unrooted for nearly a year but when samsung released the 4.3 update my phone really started sucking. Eventually I decided to root just to get a rom that functions better. I have been running gummy rom kit kat, I think its the nightly from march 10th, I have had no real issues other than some random reboots here and there. My mom begged me to root her d2att because she also was tired of the buggy samsung 4.3 update. I eventually rooted hers, even though I really didn't want to, knowing that I would get calls about every little issue and I would have to run and fix it... anyway
She has had issues that I have not had, she says that her phone randomly turns to silent periodically and causes her to miss calls, and she also says her bluetooth is intermittent. I don't use blue tooth at all so I wouldn't know but I have not had an issue with randomly going to silent. I have tried a lot of custom roms over the past 2 months since I rooted, including CM11, CM10 (all of them), AOKP, slimroms, of course Gummy, and a variety of others. All of them have had some major bug that is unbearable, from not connecting to wifi or not sending and receiving MMS, except for gummy which I have only had the random reboots.
Okay, so when I rooted mine originally I made a nandroid copy of the original rom after I rooted it, I didn't realize but somehow this nandroid file created to my internal memory instead of my sd card, so when I loaded a custom rom it was deleted. Like I said I'm far from an expert and that was a huge mistake. So anyway when I rooted my moms (same phone) I made a nandroid of her stock rom after the root and saved it to my computer, tablet, flash drive, external hd... etc.
Now that she is having problems with the absolute best ROM that I have found functionality wise, I thought I would restore her stock rom and debloat it, try my best to get it running better. I used her nandroid back up and restored my phone to it, only to get a ton of errors, everything was force closing. I kept getting the popups that "unfortunately ... has stopped" they were nonstop. Literally all I could do was hit ok and try to do the same with the next window, finally I get rid of those and the phone wouldn't run any apps or make any calls etc. So I rebooted to recovery and went restored my nandroid that I made earlier that day and all is fine with my phone again.
So here is my questions. First off when I made the nandroid of her stock rom I renamed the file STOCKROM, that way I would def know what it is and to not delete it. Will renaming a nandroid file make it not work correctly?
Also would a nandroid back up of her phone simply not work correctly on mine? I thought it would but it def does not. Maybe there is saved data that doesn't match my sim card.. I have no clue.
If I used this nandroid on her phone do you think it will work corretly?
If I messed up the file be renaming it, does anyone have a backup for stock that I can possibly use?
Last but not least, any recommendations for custom roms for d2att? I really just want speed, and no bugs
I am really sorry about the excessively long post, but I wanted to fill in the background info before I asked my questions, in case it was needed. Any help at all will be greatly appreciated.
Again please forgive me if I broke a forum rule or posted in the wrong spot, I don't typically post on any forums ever, I just tend to read the posts of others. THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY AND ALL HELP, GREATLY APPRECIATED.

If you decide to go back to stock 4.3, this thread should help. AT&T I747 UCUEMJB Stock Restore
I've never had to use a nandroid and definitely have not tried one on a phone different from where it was made, but from reading in the past I don't believe that renaming it is causing the problem. I believe it is probably due to either trying it on a different phone or the file structure may have been changed when you moved it to the pc. Hopefully someone more experienced will chime in regarding the nandroid on your phone. If it is still on her phone I think it may work.

Thanks for the tips. I know its still on her phone and the name hasnt been altered. I wanted ti try a debloated touch wiz for her. I havr liked Gummy but loaded a carbon jelly beam tonight. So far so good. Any suggestions for custom ROMs for attd2? I have had a time finding one bthats useful. I'm glad I have my gummy on nandroid. When I finish screwing around for her that's where I'll head back to I'm sure. Unless I find a sweet bug free ROM through a reccomendation. I'll check the link in the AM thanks for the reply.

Quick question. I have only rooted and flashed cm toms and aokp. I haven't done anything specifically to change my boatloadsoor kernel. I really don't have the knowledge absolute that. The first step says what's listed above. What does this mean? Can you help? Thanks for the time and tips.
Hey guys, it's been a long time since I've been flashing roms and stuff and I barely came back since I was tired of this jellybean Rom I'm on. Right now I have an older Rom that from what I an seeing isn't being developed anymore, wicked v10, Android 4.1.1, and I went through all the backups, with using tb to back up my apps, and I went into my recovery, cleared data and system, flashed quantum 3.6.4, flashed pa gapps, the same old stuff, and after I set up, I noticed the emulated sd card as I expected as it did that to me when I used to run aokp, but I could not ever find for the life of me any of my titanium backup backups, screenshots, etc. Even when I checked my other sd card folders. I found that strange since when I restored my backup, I was easily able to find the rest of the things mentioned. So what am I doing wrong? Also, is there a way to port my sms to hangouts as the new Rom used, and will I be able to used the restore backups of my contacts through the xml or something file that I generate in my contacts app when I used the app that comes with the new Rom? Thx in advance
Adding on to the fact I cannot edit my old post from my buggin out xda app, I seem to have found out whats wrong, which is that my internal sd is either not mounted properly, or cannot be read properly, while flashing ANY kitkat rom. I tried to search forums and google for a solution to this but I couldn't turn up anything. So can anyone at least tell me if this is a recurring bug on cm11 or kitkat based roms or am I just screwing up on something along the way?

Have you tried Odin flashing your firmware and factory resetting after?
Could also be the /0/0/0/ folder problem. Every time you flash a rom it adds another /0 and that becomes the default directory. Look in /storage (maybe wrong, going by memory). It's well documented though. Check the faq sticky, I think it may be covered there.

I have not tried odin flashing and all that stuff just yet but I checked every possible folder using es file explorer and it seems not to be mounted. I will check the faq though
EDIT: FAQ didn't come up with anything. The only thing I can do now is to Odin my phone but I'm not sure exactly if it would work and be worth my time. It seems as if other people with different devices using cm11 and cm11 based roms have had this issue
