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

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.

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.

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.

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]

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

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]

This is the official OTA 1.6 update but without BLOATWARE.

Should work fine in PDA.

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!

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.

 

[MaChix718]

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]

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

Yes

 

[2FR35H]

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

 

[tritran18518]

Yes

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

 

[2FR35H]

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

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?
