Root ( Port ) Galaxy 1.6 on the Behold 2 Final

It's not 1.7 it's his R7 (Release 7). 1.6 is referring to Android 1.6. There's no such thing as Android 1.7. But I agree that if R7 is going to be a huge change aesthetically you might want to make it a separate thread. Like you did for the Galaxy 1.5 and No Touchwiz.



Typo 3am comes early lol I think everyone was bright enough to figure it out.

lol... I knew what it meant..... Typo's are easy when you stay up all night Debugging & porting ( Trying ) & Testing, then add looking at Code source...

I think we all need AA Meeting's Regarding our Love for Android :D

I wanted to learn what you do and how you do it. So I googled what you do because "google is my friend lol" then it hit me a headache not going to try that again lol

I know I know.. Off-topic...

If you want a Good starter Phone to learn Porting / Dev. on, I'd get a g1/mt3g to start out with...

Or, Spend 2 to 3 weaks Reading Lib's & Bin file's until you can Remember what they do without having to look at them.

So I didn't read through all the past pages so sorry if this is a double post, but has anyone had issues with the accelerometer? In both Goggles and Skymap it keeps bugging out and saying I'm holding it upside down.

Anyone else see this, or is it just me? Thanks

That is a Samsung issue..
If I knew more on how it worked I would Fix it..

I was wondering if we could could get the stock settings.apk added. I live in montana and have a choice to roam on Cellular One or Altell, the default is Altell and it sucks! When I go to choose network it gives me "Altell" and "blank" to choose from and there is no "Manual Network" in the galaxy settings. When I choose "search" and select the "blank" it responds with "SIM will not allow" and the phone is unlocked?

P.S. BH_MAN do have deodexed twcontacts.apk and twphone.apk from the stock rom? I would like to edit them and add them as an option to your 1.6 ROM but all my deodexing efforts have been unsuccessful some error with zipalign?

That's ok I don't think anyone reading this forum is interested in the 1.5 theme for the two apps

any idea about this?

Thanks for all the hard work folks (especially BH_MAN)!

<---- Android Newb here, the Behold 2 is my first Android phone and I am still running the 1.5 OS from Kam187's thread...

Should I hit up R6 on this thing... or is R7 looking like it might be around the corner? I have been watching these threads but havent found the time to make the switch...

Not naggin, just askin!

Thx again!

I will definitely be buying ya a few beers lol

Confirmed it works. Instead of doing the adb thing...I just opened Better Terminal...
Then I did cd /sdcard and then mkdir sd

Then, I exited and ran Gallery. Works perfect! Now there's only one thing I don't like and that's the vibrate. The voice search I never used and never would because I can find everything I'm looking for. I just like vibrate for when I'm at work or something. Silent is working good, but it's certainly worth the wait. Thanks again, BH_Man.

Edit: If you type "adb shell" in Better Terminal, it comes back as not found.
