-Bugs Known
- USB Debugging needs turned off, then back on after each re-boot for adb to work..

Now, I've spent a lot of time in making it less difficult for everyone to install the Rom & hope everyone like's it.

Once download is complete, un-zip the items to the SDcard on your Behold 2.

Now for the Install procedures.
Do the Following one Line at a time...

Install Key * Is For Old Install * is For New Install!!
Step 1.

adb shell
cat /sdcard/try3 > /data/local/try3 **
chmod 777 /data/local/try3 **
/data/local/try3 /system/bin/sh **
Step 2.

mount -o rw,remount /dev/st9 /system **
cat /sdcard/unyaffs > /data/local/unyaffs **
chmod 777 /data/local/unyaffs **
Step 3. Wait for the # sign after /data/local/unyaffs /sdcard/system Before Rebooting

cd /system **
rm -R app **
rm -R framework *
rm -R lib *
/data/local/unyaffs /sdcard/system **
reboot
That's it, after you get the # from running /data/local/unyaffs /sdcard/system it's now safe to reboot...

Now, once you have Rebooted, Do a Factory reset by, Menu>Settings>Sd card & Phone Storage>Factory Data Reset :) Enjoy!

Trouble Shooting!

Stuck on Samsung Logo..

You Need to Do this First Before Pushing this system File over.... You can't have the Galaxy Rom installed Prior to installing this...

first off thanx for all your hard work. i did have a couple questions though. is this rom any faster than with touchwiz? are the only changes are no/edited touchwiz launcher and the mms apk? what kind of speeds are you getting, good? i actually like the sound of this rom much better than the galaxy rom if it runs faster than stock.

guys i have asked this on a couple of forums but no replay i was just wondering if there is an easy basic guide to learn the cooking of the rom process, i have a Behold that i can experiment with ( a nexus one as well but i like to keep both of my N1 safe :D ) but i am not really sure where to begin to cook a rom or even look at it, if there is an example, video tutorial or if someone can create a video tutorial (i know it would be hard) that would make alot of people understand and share development (or atleast i would).
Oh Lords of the Tech please hear my voice and send a tutorial from the heaven :p

Okay so I decided to run BH2 no TW/stock and everything seems to be working fine. It takes a little while for it to load up like the app drawer but it's pretty fast once it does. The camera had a little lag on the 1st test run but it looks pretty solid now. The funky cube interface is still there but I guess that's to be expected until we can get it remapped.

- Text messaging solid

- Vibrate works

- no firmware update on Camera

- New advanced launcher wallpaper gallery, which is pretty sweet

- So far the phone flies like Galaxy stock

BH Man you put some hard work into this and it has paid off, thanks.
