Lmao! Why don't stay your excitement til something actually happens? This thread has hundreds of "can't wait", "so excited", "thanks so much", "this is great", posts over the past YEAR that this thread has been active, and yet there hasn't been a 2.x release at all besides the broken one! There is no reason to think its actually coming this time, and history says it isn't coming at all. But, since some people will buy anything that's sold to them...i got a bridge in london to sell ya.

Behold_This you are partially right. but you do not need to crush hope for other people. Eugene has helped in many ways and is still helping us on his own accord. Behold_This i don't see you helping in anyway? instead of trying to ruin our chances maybe you could be more appreciative that Eugene is still working on this crappy phone or even try to help out since you have some developing skills. you should think before you write and be a little more considerate. When i say this i think i speak for all. Eugene is the best developer out there for this phone. He is kept going with phone even when other people have given up.

Let me be clear than. I don't care about eugene! I don't think he'll get it done, but I don't even really care if he does. Oh and I guess I'll remove my mod then since I don't help.

Honestly I'm not even offended... Mainly as I think I'm the only one that gets your point

Would you like to explain to us why you're trolling this thread making redundant posts given you have no interest in development for the Behold II? Thanks
Please read his original post. It gives instructions.

Don't buy Samsung, they don't update, they just launch a new phone.
this? Likely will Post it For Dev's Only to work on.. Contain's a Speacial kernel that Has the SH linked to /system/bin so you can Push & repair Bin Files.
He was very sanguine about bricking the BH2. It wasn't obvious to me from twitter that it's truly bricked for good. But perhaps I'm grasping at straws. I definitely don't get all the acronyms and abbreviations he uses on twitter.
Edited to add... Just noticed my join date here. Seems I've had my BH2 for a year. It seemed so promising at first...

He replied to my question. Saying that he was done developing with the behold 2. So unless someone has one yhat they are willing to give to him then we are done.
@DeathLeecher already offered him one...he said NO. he's done...this phone is done...and those still stuck with this POS are SOL. This whole bricking news is at least a week old and was posted on his forum for a while. It is what I was referring to in post #666. Time for the rest of this community to move on as no one is going to help you salvage a phone that is not salvageable.

I don't know if you still frequent these boards, but for what it's worth.
Thank you.
Thanks for your hard work with this device. Thanks for the roms, thanks for the custom recovery, thanks for the ext3 rom I was running (now my son is, lol).
I am grateful for your dedication and hard work on this and hopefully I will have the pleasure of loading other roms on newer phones I acquire.
Be well.

Considering I own a Samsung Vibrant now, I'm not really all that saddened. Honestly, I'm surprised Eugene kept dev'ing for this as long as he did. Even though he didn't get a steady version out (which I think he would have had he not bricked his phone), he at least proved that the Behold 2 could run 2.x. And that, my friends, is a total pimp hand to the face of Samsung.

we know Samsung sucks, all that doesn't make the fact that we're stuck on contract with a sucky phone, which didn't have to be so sucky, for another year or so.

And that sucks for you, but that's life. Why don't you just go buy an unlocked phone? They're a bit pricey, but not too bad.

I think it sucks for almost everyone who has a BH2 while still on contract. And don't worry, after I found out the BH2 was not going to get an OS upgrade I purchased a Nexus One. I expected the BH2 to hold us over for 2 years while the ARM multicore market and phones matured but Samsung forced me to spend the $500+ before that market was ready. So I've got a good phone, it cost me lots of money and I'm still stuck in a contract. _that_ is why Samsung has me pissed off and I'd be really pissed off if I had to use the phone as it was promised it would operate. The Samsung BH2 phone is sometime used to take pictures.

Agreed. I think it was pretty shady of them to promise 2.x, and then go back on that promise when it was released.
hello hopefully someone can help me
I made the mistake of purchasing the behold 2, unfortunately im stuck with it and it is stuck on 1.5. I have been going through so many threads and everytime I think I found the one to download it is outdated or has issues like camera or vibration no longer working. Can someone give me the latest properly running 1.6 update? From what Ive seen its my only hope to having a phone do the things I thought it would do on its on. Or point me in the right direction at your earliest convenience??? thank you
i've moved on from the BH2 about a month ago and now i own a Nexus S. (about when Eugene officially dropped support for it). But there IS hope.
the new Android platform 2.4(Ice cream Sandwich) may be portable onto the BH2. considering the fact that its supposed to unite all versions of platforms including 1.5~3.1
At the Google IO 2011 they officially announced that Android 2.4 will be able to port into older devices. ANDDDD during the Google IO 2011, when they were discussing Android 2.4, many phones from different manufacturers were shown above the screen and there i saw the BH2.
Theres a video somewhere on Youtube which i realy dont feel like searching for ATM since each video is like 10min long.!!

Sounds like rumors until proven. Don't get your hopes up.

That's called, "reading too much into it". They showed a picture of the Behold 2 when showing different devices that were powered by android. Had absolutely nothing to do with what you're talking about.

that was my take on it also, just pictures of phones and they used a stock picture of a BH2. Samsung probably doesn't even remember they made the device let alone gen up another Android version for it.
From my take on it, they are saying that it will make it easier for app developers to code without worrying about a lot of differences between devices. (Essitially make the apps run from a google framework more so than from the phone framework.) One framework = no major difference to code. I'm sure the kernel & firmware won't have anything to do with the new framework they are adding.
My beloved 1st android and Amoled phone.It got so much potential but it was just an expiriment from samsung.
I had to get Epic 4g and im deffinetly glad that i did,samsung been updating it not as fast as htc but we should ge GB in any day now.
I think samsung learned its lesson from Behold 2 and now it takes better care of updates.
I just wish i went with Vibrant instead of Epic because i never use physical keyboard or front camera and its more bulky but it has led flash.
And epic is the only GS phone that dont have Cyanogen for it yet.
I still visit this forum because i really want to see eclair or froyo on BH2 but i dont think its gonna happen and if it does im buying BH2 on ebay to use as mp3 media player because its small and cheap and has Amoled.
But my advice just get GS because it has reasonable siupport and is one of the best phones till this day,unless you reather wait for GS2.
Or just go with HTC if you dont care about Super Amoled screen,but i refuse to use regular lcd after expiriencing S Amoled.
If Sony,LG,HTC,etc.. had S Amoleds than i would buy them but till then im stuck with Samsung,i wont hate on samsung because my Epic been droped numerous times and not a scratch on it and its almost imposible to brick.
I just got a nexus s...same awesome galaxy s hardware, no touchwiz, and no waiting for updates that we should have had a million years ago. if any of you have not heard of swappa.com, check it out--paypal buy-and-sell marketplace for android.
hello I have a little MAN BH problem is that I want to download the upgrade to 2.1 and sent me to 4shared but it says this document has been deleted and another form of open download
