#---UPDATE---#
Behold II OTA 1.6 Tweaked v3
This is version 3 of my tweaked rom, speed was the goal.


WIFI TETHER:
Thanks to Mastermind278 and the community we now have WIFI TETHER working great with the FREE barnacle wifi app!

OK I THINK ROOTS FIXED for real now!
http://www.2shared.com/file/RDmku0df/Root.html

Right, so hopefully this is the last little ROOT problem..

i did a bunch of stuff to figure out what the hell was going on, so i'll just have you do it all....


First

Extract Superuser.apk and su from this and place them in a directory.

Now
adb push Superuser.apk system/app

Then

adb push su system/bin

Then i ran Ad Free and what do you know. Got root again..

Seems the "Root" of the problem was with nu11u5's su and superuser.apk not being exactly the same as the superuser.apk that i had installed by default. Must be a diff version?

Anyway hopefully this should solve your issues!



Google sync fixed in contacts app - http://www.2shared.com/file/_xCdknIs/ContactsSignedm.html

adb push ContactsSignedm.apk system/app


#--CHANGES--# (from previous tweaked)
* Rooted kernel - Thanks to Nu11u5
* Latest ADW launcher
* New Contacts ( Much FASTER) - was a pain in the ass
* New Dialer (Much Faster!) - old dialer remains but the new dialer is default.
* Removed rest of bloatware
* stock htc battery icons
* various tweaks here and there

###############################################





This is the official OTA 1.6 update but without BLOATWARE.
Twiz is not as completely removed as in bh_mans builds due to lack of a working rooted kernel but i figure this will do very nicely in the meantime!

#--CHANGES--#
* Removed most of the tmobile bloatware
* Updated framework-res
* new alarm clock
* nswPlayer from take5
* music player from take5
* more internal space for apps
* faster

-- To get the new launcher, simply download it from the market. It's free. Adw launcher.

#--Whats not done--#
* root.
* complete removal of twiz.


Runs pretty quick compared to stock imo.
Didnt have time to reflash this so hopefully it works just fine
- REALLY TIRED.


2shared - download BH2_OTA1.6_ODIN_TWEAK.tar.rar

Flash with ODIN.
Should work fine in PDA.

I've never ran no Twiz, but read that it basically just removes the drag & drop correct? Please clarify for a lamer. (Kind of sad b/c I would consider myself a techie.) Also can you provide information on how to edit/build roms? I'm a quick learner and am currently going to school for IT so it shouldn't be hard to learn. Hopefully it'll just add another Dev to the team for some awesome work.

Edit: Holy crap you were up late working on this. That is some dedication. If you and Nu11u5 can provide me with a donate link I'll deffinatly throw down some cash for your hard work.

ok.. I have tried to download this, but every time I hit the download link, I get a freakin ad.

cheenachatze

The "Download Now" button is an ad. Look further down where it says: "Save file to your PC: click here". That's the file you want.

marcelo_lopez

My Thanks to Nu11u5 and microHaXo ( I hope I got that nick right ) !!!

Gonna jump over to this.....X-ing my fingers for someone to get root on this baby. Also, anyone know if this build suffers from the same "service" issue affecting sleep mode ?

yahma

Awesome! What launcher are you using? I hate the stock T-Mo one.

suyash1

when i flashed this i still got the twlauncher.

MaChix718

I'm new to updating the behold 2 and I got a question on how you guys do the 1.6 update using ODIN. Is it basically just the same as to the instructions shown by BH_MAN's update?

microhaxo

Try going to the applications and manage applications and clear the cache of twlauncher and then go back to the home screen.

It should ask you what launcher you would like to use, choose adw.

behold_this

Clearing cache won't help you must clear the defaults...it's the last choice in that menu

MaChix718

I can't clear the cache OR the defaults. Did I do something wrong? Also, when I installed the 1.6 update using odin, I put the update in the one package box instead of the PDA. I got 1.6 installed in my phone but I just have no idea whether if it changes things.

cheenachatze

Just to be sure, in ODIN I should choose PDA? (Not ONE PACKAGE like the original 1.6 OEM?)

behold_this

Maybe try reflashing...you can check to see if it flashed correctly by checking your apps for the new launcher I believe he used adw correct me if I'm wrong cause I have not flashed this

microhaxo

Yes Pda.

MaChix718

Got ADW to work by installing it (didn't know about installing it). Thanks for the help guys!

microhaxo

hmm, i did a direct dump with that home replacement already installed. It must save to userdata and not directly in the system..

Anyone else not getting adw at all?

2FR35H

I still have Twiz home with this

sisquoc15

Flashed this ROM straight from Take5. I had GDE (previously installed) and TWlauncher. About phone now shows 1.6, T939UVJA3, Kernel 2.6.29 (root@sep-56 #1). I have google maps navigation.

EDIT: Did the one package option. Oops. Flashed to 1.5 (UVJA3) and then reflashed this ROM using pda (unchecked one package).

Strange: About phone now shows 1.6, T939UVJA3, Kernel 2.6.29 (root@sep-56 #1, Tue May 4 19:02:25 KST 2010). I have swype.

Not to swerve out of topic but, does anyone else feel that the BH2 is hotter?

tritran18518

Can i flash this rom without losing those apps i already installed in my BH2 ?

2FR35H

Yes

2FR35H

Question.... did you remove the battery indicator or is the little android guy the battery indicator?

tritran18518

what should i chose (PDA or One Package ) when i odin ?

2FR35H

PDA only uncheck one package

Don't forget the BH2 partition either

sisquoc15

What baseband version are you showing in "about phone" after flashing this rom?

j0hnh0lmes

To use any other home app you have to go to manage apps>TWlauncher and hit the clear data button. once you back out it'll ask what you want to use as default. (If you just flashed it won't let you clear cache or default as there is none)

microhaxo

Yes, the little green droid is the indicator.

microhaxo

In This odin I didn't include the new baseband.

sisquoc15

What is a baseband?

Nu11u5

Baseband is the software that controls the radio chips and other low level hardware.

sisquoc15

Were there important changes in the new baseband? I was getting the hard crash during calls problem.

cheenachatze

Tried to flash with the 1.6 tweaked. After flashing I got the BH Man recovery screen. Nothing happened. Pressed the Menu button and the phone rebooted. Since then it keeps on rebooting by itself. Flashed the 1.6 OEM twice, but it still keeps rebooting. All the stuff I had on the phone is erased. Any ideas what to do to make the phone stable again? Thanks!

rleal2010

I know that you must be scared but just keep your head in there strong.

Now what I would recommend would be to take it back down to 1.5 full flash and the do the stock 1.6 oem rom

drizzlyday

Hope there will be a rooted version come out soon, thank you for the hard work.

microhaxo

If you get the recovery screen immediately after flashing, simply pull the battery. Dont hit the menu button as that tries to restore.

It should boot right the second time.

kuro_ng

hey there,
I just update the firmware you provided. Everything works fine. However, my phone memory statues shows that I have zero memory. I could not install or download anything anymore.. is there any way that you could fix this?

Edit: Nevermind I figured out. Thank

microhaxo

Huh, that seems to be a common problem, I'd recommend flashing to the official 1.6 STOCK then do a factory reset and then flash my rom.
Mine is showing 93mb free.

ChrisOhle

Just flashed...same error. What did you figure out?

grennis

Yeah really, if you figured it out please let us know what it was...

WANdroid

I have the same problem with the memory status... have tried flashing back to stock 1.6 then back to this. I have tried phone factory reset twice. nothing has worked so far... grr

Edit: I fixed it by first flashing to the rom from here: http://androidforums.com/all-things-root-behold-2/54385-updated-odin-images-available-latest-t-mobile-stock.html
The last rom on the first post which is called "Full Flash" or "T939UVJA3-Odin.zip"
After flashing to that rom I then used microhaxo's rom and it works perfectly

marcelo_lopez

Can someone write down what a simple update process would look like ?

Everyone is flashing this and that from that and this rom or another.

1. Do you HAVE to flash back to 1.5 stock to then apply this ROM ? y/n
2. Can you Flash over the BHMan Stock 1.6 w/ TWiz ? y/n
3. Will this flash also update your baseband ? y/n

Thank you.

microhaxo

This flash will not update your baseband, some people prefer the old baseband.

You can flash from 1.5, 1.6 or a bhman rom if you want.
If you want the new baseband then flash from the OTA 1.6 odin.

blackerwater

This works great love the battery icon thanks.

Using tapatalk

j0hnh0lmes

Battery icon doesn't work half the time. Is there any way to fix this?

bjs2000008

I've been been putting in and taking out roms since BH-mans R6 and i never seen Odin not detect a file before i need help on how to install it. i followed all the help tips that ppl have posted but i guess i missed something

shawnpeck

Any reason this is better than Take5?

BurgDog

You get the official released and fully tested 1.6 instead of a pre-pre-released "leaked" early version. "Leaked" as in free beta testing with no acknowledged Samsung responsibility. I found the leaked 1.6 more buggy than the current final release.

momopebl

Hi every one, im runing 1.6 stock if i flash this could i install micros rom on top?

Banzuke

I notice that when im talking on the phone that if i accidentally hit the camera button it turns the screen back on causing my cheek to start clicking and running programs, not a big deal but was wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue.

rleal2010

HMM...good question.

because his roms dont have root, so I dont know if you would need root to flash the roms.
