Hey. was wondering if the vibrate issue has been fixed with galaxy? I'd like to try this out but can't lose the vibrate as I need it on vibrate most of the time.

paul89

nope it hasnt, its because it is too much of a hassle to fix, at least thats what kam said

bangsters

ahh... thanks!

look s like i'll wait it out a bit. i just got mine (and wife's) B2. still learning the android os.

mygti02

Flashed my Wifes BH2 just the other night. this thing is stupid fast now. Great work. For those of you that are using Android for the first time....the stock BH2 FW gives it a bad taste. Put the "Normal" android on your BH2 and you will see what everyone is raving about. iPhone killer

Can someone tell me where to find the Speaker phone fix. I saw someone say that there is a fix for it, but i cant find it anywhere. Thanks for the help.

bangsters

i would very much like to but i'm cautious on the vibrate functionality and the BH2 camera (i've read it's better than the stock camera)....if there's a workaround on those two i'd be the first to try it

The quality of the camera is still there you just don't get all the bells & whistles in the settings options. It's still 10x better than the Mytouch 3G camera.

You guys are doing some amazing work here.

I'm having a couple issues though:

Phone was working great before the updated files were added to the guide. I ODIN'd back to stock, and then redid the process with the updated files. Everything was working for the past couple days, but this morning my phone now randomly reboots itself, gets back into the OS, but then resets again when you try to unlock it.

Will ODIN'ing back and redoing it again fix this? Or is this something more people than I are seeing with the new files?

Edit: I did run the Recovery Image and it started doing it again after about an hour or two. Looks like ODIN is the answer.

I don't need to root my BH2 if i want to do this , do i ?

paul89

this process automatically gives you root, so yes!

tritran18518

I am confused about that . I know if we rooted android phone, we can not go back to the original state , and we can not get OTA update. So am i right ?

paul89

no you can always go back with the odin download thing, its in the forums, it puts you back to stock behold 2. So then you can get the over the air update and then go back to custom roms. Installing the galaxy rom has the necessary steps to install the custom rom along with rooting your phone!

tritran18518

I just did a few steps but i thought there was something wrong in here:

did you remember to unmount your SDcard from the computer?
EDIT: Also make sure you have the 3 downloads extracted to the ROOT of your SDCARD


Anyone able to give me a link or explain how to get the speaker phone fix? thanks!

I found out the problems, however, i forgot to put the voume.txt in the root of sdcard, so i try to ODIN back my phone. Besides, do you know when the ODIN process complete ? Does my phone reboot by itself , cause i see this pn my phone :

bangsters

is there a way to keep the B2 camera while I convert to galaxy?

paul89

yes it will reboot by itself

paul89

at the moment not right now because we need a custom kernel first

tritran18518

30 mins has elapsed , and i am still waiting, is it normal ^^ ?

paul89

no it should only take like 6 mins, atleast for me it did.

tritran18518

tired for waiting so i romove the battery, and plug it in again...and i have my phone back..so weird

paul89

so your back to stock?

haha good to hear that!

tritran18518

heres the link its a thread right in this forum he has a total of 3, do the last to get the latest updates!

tritran18518

I tried to do whole process again, but after type " reboot" , my phone stuck at "anroid" logo, I don't know what happen. Now, ODIN second time, and it will be the last time.
@paul89: do i need to do anything , such as root..., before i follow his instructions

paul89

after you ODIN try to do a factory restore before you do anything else just to make sure.

dfellars

Has anyone flashed back to stock, downloaded the update and then reinstalled the Galaxy Rom? If so, is it worth the effort?

@ tritran18518, if you're having problems with the ODIN process it might be the USB cable. I went thru similar issues where it was taking a long time (close to an hour) to download and wouldn't even work on certain computers. Buying an after market data cable solved the issue for me.

i was able to hop onto galaxy but i can't do the Mms fix update...

rm failed for /system/app/Mms.apk, No such file or directory

i have copied the Mms file into the Sdk tools folder and even in the sd card too.....

can't figure it out...

can anyone hlep me, please???

tritran18518

Odin is kind of weird software. I used it 3 times, first time , it stopped at 5/9. the second time it stopped at 6/9,, and the third time it stopped at 8/9. All three time , i just remove battery, plug it in again, pressed the power button , and every thing is solved.

Check out BH MAN'S new Behold 2 Rom. Vibration works camera works. Touchwiz is gone. All is good.

Wow, so besides the Galaxy, the Galaxy Spica also gets its update leaked. Though the Spica gets 2.1

bangsters

awesome!!! does this mean we can now switch to galaxy and keep the behold2 camera and vibration?

deathclutch

if your refering to Notahotshot last reply... then yes and no... its a hybrid made by bh_man where it basically just removes the twiz... but check out that thread.. i would do the hybrid because you get to keep camera and vibrate.. i personally think its a touch smoother and faster

bangsters

awesome!! i'll do this tonight and keep you guys posted. anyone care to point me to basic on doing root, etc. i've never tried with this phone although i've done before with my UIQ phones. but i guess they use different apps to root etc.

thanks

I have question about ODIN. Which buttons i should hold when powering on to make it go in to download mode? I can't find any instructions about how to use ODIN on behold 2.
Thanks

bangsters

use the volume (down) at the side of the phone, the middle button (of the keypad), and the end button.

I learned that last night while installing the rom.

thanks to the deev guys for the upgrade!! My B2 runs a lot faster. no bloatware. heck no telenav and diner dash which I don't use

kylgetson

if you don't have a data plan, you can still read the web without paying big fees. use txtfeeder.com to avoid mobile data charges

Laron225

Sounds like a neat feature. I just got my first Android phone. I want to try this to see how much faster it will be and to get better battery life.

kn0t

I did this, It all went great and I loved it until I tried to download some apps. I will not download any apps now. Anyone know why this is or how I can fix it? thanks

This method is a bit outdated now. I suggest you use this instead:

I don't know why, but before I redid everything, I tried to download an app. and it works now. So I guess all I needed to do was reboot. It works so good now it's soooo fast. The stock texting doesn't work but I never use that anyhow, I've been using Handcent since it came out, and I love it. That works fine on this rom. I've very thankful though to all of those that figured this out and put up this thread. I was sick and tired of stock BH2. That's not to say they may have a couple updates that makes the stock version cool,but I'm not going to hold my breath. I'm looking forward to BH_MAN'S 1.6 and perhaps Eclair for this whenever it comes out. I'm really glad we got one good Dev. that cares about the BH2. If it wasn't for him we'd be screwed, lol. Everyone else is busy making Nexus builds and stuff for the MT3G and the G1 still. I can't say I blame them, I'd love to have a nexus one. I'm just going to save up and get the next version of it. I'm sure in 6 or 8 months there'll be a Nexus two or something like that, and I'll grab that. lol . For now I'm more than happy with my BH2

paul89

ya I hear you, without BH_MAN we wouldnt be getting very far!

kn0t

That's for sure, and as busy as he get's he always takes time out to answer a dumb question from me or whoever, he's a cool guy too.

alex186421

mmandros
