First off I want to thank these Dev. for there hard work..
Kam187, Mastermind278, droiddev, mobileband, My420Time, rkhalil2009

Why install my Rom you might ask?

Included & working in rom Plus hassle free install is>
- Pre installed Busybox
- Pre installed Mms.apk Fix
- Working Speaker Phone
- Root for App's
- Persistent Root script pre installed
- US by Default
- English By Default

-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 galaxy rom & hope everyone like's it.

Now, for what you came for :)

Download the Package here > Behold2_galaxy_100.zip ( Stock Galaxy )

Themed Versions:
Super Blue Theme > BH_MAN Edition 1.0.zip > Original Post > http://to.ly/1eBE

Black / Grey Theme > BH2_Galaxy_Android_plus.zip Original Post > http://to.ly/1f3c

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...

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!


Currently working on a 2.0 eclair image & Cyanogen 1.6 image, and hope to have it out very soon, until then thanks & let me know if there is any problems. :)

You need the ADB program from the Andoid SDK and the USB Debug Mode drivers for the Behold II. You can use the introduction on MrAndroid's tutorial to get started.

Ok i followed the ADB for dummies and i set up my paths and i installed the usb drivers, how do i know if i have ADB successfully installed properly? theres no new programs on my start menu.

you need to run command prompt...

then use command prompt to go to your androidsdk/tools folder...
then type adb devices... if your device shows up.. you have done it correctly

type cd c:\android-sdk-windows\tools

then you should be able to do adb commands fine

perfecctt thanks a lot man this worked. This whole process of adb has took me about a week -__-

ok, now all i gotta do is follow the instructions above and i will port to Galaxy?

Will i lose all my contacts, apps, and all my settings? Yes right?

Is this the same thing as the Sticky on the main page about Galaxy just a whole lot simpler?

sweet I love blue, is this automatically whats installed if I install with your instructions!
Can you make that custom kernel that we need to upgrade to 2.1?

Yes all that is installed with the how-to. :)

Sadly I'm having go around with linux 64-bit... not play well atm.. So, currently have no way to make a Kernel.

1.6 & 2.* are boot looping on me, and flying blind with no ddms / Logcat to know why.

Im not sure what you mean by go around with linux? So you have tried the 1.6 & 2. on the behold2, but its boot looping? Well thats because the kernel.

Yes I know it's kernel...

Regarding go arounds... I'm having Drive issue's with the new install of Ubuntu 64-bit, nothing I can't fix, just need to look over my Notes from the last install I did.. :)

BH_Man, It seems like you have been doing a nice job. I haven't tried your file yet but it does look like it is a lot easier for most people to install the galaxy. One suggestion is that on your next version you include VoiceSearch.apk so that people can use the VoiceSearch from the Search Widget.

No Problem, Will Defiantly include it in the next release :)

Will have another themed Release out today in the PM sometime for everyone.

Taking Suggestion from everyone if you would like to see something added, removed*
