Root (Port) Behold 2 1.6 ( No Twiz w/ Busybox & Rooted Kernel )

After the Android boot animation my screen goes off and I cannot turn it on. I can remove the battery and boot back in but the same thing happens. I can also enter download mode. I tried installing this 3 times following the odin instructions. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? i am coming from the galaxy ROM.

#1 on that link.
But since you didn't do that before you switched roms boot the phone without an SD card and add it in after boot and then do the above.

Good lord... it's amazing how some of you make it through life without someone holding your hand every step of the way. ;)

BH_MAN: Loving the ROM. Yes it has it's issues, but I know you'll work out some of the kinks when you get the time.

Everyone else: Please understand this isn't even a released version for the BH2, so it will have it's problems. They'll get worked out in time. Be patient and enjoy what Samsung has failed to give us.

ok the su in adb did not fully work, I lost it after reboot.

Battery needs a few days to adjust, just drain it till it shuts off and then recharge while it off. With in a few days the battery will improve greatly!

Su will never work in adb as the Kernel has Full Read / write Access to the system... It only Effect's App's...

The rom works fast, but I just did the flash, charged it from dead with the batter off, and I've only had it running for an hour and the battery is down to 80%. Is anyone else having battery issues?

Fully Charge before flashing!
As the Batterystat.bin is Reset via the Firstboot.sh that I've added... So flashing & then rebooting with Dis-charged battery Sets the Calibration Off First thing which takes even longer for the battery to register correctly via the OS!

I charged the phone to full while off, and after 2:50 of up time, the battery is at 67%. I have GPS and network location off, screen at minimum brightness, used 21 minutes of talk time, and almost no data usage aside from downloading a few programs from the market (including a task killer so I can stop the phone from running things all of the time). Is there any fix for this?

My Battery is at %73 @ 11:21 Up Time... I have said this Before, I honestly think there are issue's with the Battery it's self due to 50% of people are having great Battery life & 50% have terrible battery Life..

Now Regarding Issue's.... Let me work them out and Give me a little Time please.. I know of Most of them & working on them when I get time....

Battery issue...
If you was having better battery Life on the Galaxy R8 port... Thank this Post only & I'll keep an eye on it... If there is alot of thanks I'll include the Auto-CPU Scalling that I had in R8 into this build to improve battery life...

Any cut & Better Cut Issue's...
This is an Issue with Advance Launcher, if super import I would download another Home replacement of your liking for now... as I'll try to included the galaxy Launcher in the Next release for those that want it...

App's Dis-appearing..
Bad install, Not being Fully Removed during Upgrade..
Before installing any update, Remove that App first, un-less there Google.. I have Tested Google apps and they work fine Updating them..

Gtalk issue..
I'm aware of this Issue & have it fixed.. Will be in Next Release...

SU / Root Problem's..
First Reboot the Phone to see if that Fixes it.. Su via ADB does not appear to work, But it Fully does due to the Kernel having Full Read / Write permission.. If you still Can't get Root working, Run these Command from Command Prompt
adb shell
cd /system/bin
toolbox chmod 04755 sh
toolbox chmod 04755 su
reboot
Please Don't Post about the Theme's or what you don't like about this Rom... Make another thread for this please!

Post Bug's regarding App's not Working or if you're getting FC

Flashed 2 1.6 no tw and keep losing data connection.Anyone else havin this Prob? Also had it it tw rom,but never in any of the galaxy roms.

Very likely a rom issue regarding your Location & when to switch between 3G & 2G networks... I've yet to have any issue with this myself, but keeping an eye out for it...

Anyone has Maps FC'ing?
Update From the Market, That's the First thing I did, so I can't Comment if I had this issue or not.
