Cincinatti Bell releasing the Behold II ....

[shawn1224]

Without Touchwiz?!?!?!

This actually might not be a bad idea. Spec wise the Behold II is of average grade but we all know it performs much better without the constraints of touchwiz.

Woah woah, they took off Touchwiz!

<cue chorus of angels!>

I'll have to get in contact with them or a new user and get the ROM dump straight away!

 

[shawn1224]

Looks like a win for everybody, although I wonder what version android it's running.

 

[marcelo_lopez]

But yeah...definitely, if some kind soul were to grab one for a little while and dump the ROM....there would be Thousands of seriously grateful people around here.

this is a win for us. we could have a stock android with vibrate. no touchwiz meaning the drivers arnt on touchwiz so an easy 2.X port???

That is what I was thinking at first. But I think the hang up is the amoled drivers not the touchwiz drivers. This behold II won't see 2.x either anyway.

Living in Cincinnati I will now have to see this phone being pumped down my throat by Nick Lachey for the next four months I guess.

Props to Cincinnati Bell! The phone isn't all that bad spec-wise, so it's pretty cool that they're doing it without TouchWiz. We all have our little arguments about these phones, but this is great for the expansion of Android!

 

[BH_MAN]

Damn, maybe I should have gave them my help when they asked for it now

never heard of them at the time... Oops!

It's Bell....MA BELL.......AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

jk
it's not important this phone should die a flaming poo of a death and working on it with Me Bell wouldn't of saved it. You made the right choice.

Ok it kinda is and kinda isn't Ma Bell but still I think everyone knows what AT&T's name was before it was hacked to death by the government (even though it has bought up and merged all it's subsidiarity it produced during the split and is now one mega company again)

Their getting the motorola milestone xt720 too.

I already told my friend to wait for that instead of getting the blaze their pushing all over tv here now.

 

[suyash1]

is it running 1.6 or 1.5 stock?

 

[mwl1119]

1.6

here is the default home screen as well as samsung camera firmware running on the cinci bell version of the Behold 2 incase anyone want to see it:

 

[Nu11u5]

It looks like Samsung's call log, messaging, and calendar apps are still there unless they just reused the icons. Not too bad.

Question is are those camera and camcorder apps Samsung's or something else?

I really can't wait to get my hands on a dump of this!

 

[behold_this]

samsung's camera is on board see update to pics above.

*i pulled these pics from the cincinnati bell support site

Without twiz what is their cube mapped to?

 

[BH_MAN]

Anyone else think this Rom of there's looks very similar! Pricks!

 

[behold_this]

lmao...you noticed that too huh? no counting for originality i guess

 

[behold_this]

search

Yup looks like take5

 

[Nu11u5]

From all the pix on the Support Tutorial page it look like Twiz as far as the homescreen and settings applets are gone. The camera, messaging, contacts, etc are still there.

Though with the looser integration even these could probably be removed and replaced with alternatives or stock Android.

They would have had to remove the dependence of the dialer on Visual Voicemail for instance.

Without twiz what is their cube mapped to?

I would guess Search.

edit: yep - search

 

[behold_this]

I would guess Search.

edit: yep - search

i saw that pic as well but also saw pics with the cube interface as well...must just be the promo pic cause its shown on the support page but no other documentation
