Root ( Port ) Galaxy 1.6 on the Behold 2 Final

Okay... Odd thing I noticed today...

To save Battery I Toggle to 2G when not using data & Have Location on, So far on my Phone anyways it sleeps better with 2G than being on 3G, idk might be due to less battery being used for the radio to start with...

Just thought I'd toss that out there for you battery life savers...

Erm any idea or suggestion for google navigation tts crashes?

I have seen similar when restoring apps to R10. It also happened to me when I went to r9 from warheads.

In both cases I was restoring just apps and data to limit the amount of problems I might cause myself crossing OS versions so I guessed that was the problem.

It shows the apps as somewhat installed for me. They do not show up in the tray. When I go into the market the downloads shows them as installed but when I select the app it gives me the option to install it. Quite strange.


same thing for me, wonder what's going on

FYI. After flashing R10 from Warheads, would get reboot all the way up to a black screen. Tried reflashing & same thing. Took out SD card & booted up fine. While phone was on, inserted SD card & reformatted it in the phone. Then booted into recovery mode & partitioned SD card & phone booted up fine. Good thing I had my card backed up. Then just installed my apps & copied my music back to card. I guess R10 doesn't like stuff from Warheads. Will report back on battery life after two cycles.

The back up that we made from 1.6 NoTwiz is not compatible with the galaxy roms, in order for them to work, you would need an early backup from and earlier galaxy build. At least thats the only thing I can think of, cause I have the same problem :(

I had the same thought the first time but in my second try, I was going from r9 to r10 so I was not crossing versions.

It was not big deal for me. I have started working with appbrain and that makes it much easier to re-install all my apps.

@ Benny, reboot your phone again. I did a 2nd reboot and have been sitting at 74% for about 45 mins. Go into your settings -> about phone -> battery usage and see if IDLE is in there. Or lock your phone, wait 5 mins, and hit "MENU" and see if the buttons light up. if they don't, you should be good. If they do, reboot your phone.
i've rebooted my phone 5 times. lol every time it comes up

Next time try this instead.
At anytime you get the Black screen, you Can do this from adb shell!

1. Boots & goes to black screen
2. Plug usb into computer
3. Open a Command prompt
4. adb shell
5. cd /system/sd/app-private
6. rm -r *
7. cd /system/sd/dalvik-cache
8. rm -r *
9. reboot

That's it :D running those commands will let the Phone Boot Correctly from there on...

Now regarding Upcoming JAVA Release Build that should be coming tonight... I'm very happy over all with this build, also Any cut & Better Cut is working correctly ( I bought Better Cut just to check ) so this should make a Few happy :D
Next, we still have the option for 7 screen & the layout is awesome!
I also figured out how to re-edit the cache & userdata so this should fix the end results of having to use the factory resets as well..
Root issue's? So far I've not had any issue's with the Build regarding Root, nor did I have with DOTS so I think I finally got that Squared away..

Battery Life?
I had a Few reboots I've done here an there testing a few other Feature, but without a charge I'm currently on
49% Battery Charge @ 41:23:02 ( hr/min/sec ) of up time! :D
so I think the battery issue is now fixed as well, but like alway, Time will tell...

so far this build runs roughly with 102mb free at all time, then again the launcher I'm using has the ability to to end Process, I don't want to say what launcher it is until I release it & see what the Feedback is regarding it :D...

Until then,
~BH_MAN
:cool:

You can put as many home screens as you want.Push "Menu" button from home screen,than go to "More" than to "Extended" than "Home screen".

Another tip that half of ya dont know about.When you open up the Launcher hold and drag any app to the recycle bin,you will see an option "Hide from Launcher".It will let you hide apps from launcher.This is really usefull,because you can put apps that you rearly use in a folder and hide them from the launcher,so when you open the launcher you wont have to search through 50 apps to find your favorite ones.3 months of using android and i just found that out,lol.

well played, very nice...

Bh did you add anymore hacks that have to do with hxsda internet speed?The reason im asking because my speed was slower than usual,so i deleted "ro.ril.hsxpa=1" and "ro.ril.gprsclass=10",did system reset after,and my speed went up but not by much.With previos 4 roms my speed was 200-300 kB/s at daytime and 400-500 kB/s at night,now it never gets over 250 kB/s.Is there any other files i need to edit?
One more question,is there a Swipe version that works with R10,if so can you post it?Thanx in advance.

Yes :D

Logging into Linux..
Going to Try something & my Be an emergency update to R11 Final ED. to Fix these Issue's
.........

Trying it out now. Also if you are making R11 final, in About phone section the Build Number still say: Donut.BH_MAN_R8. (even though im using R10)

Just a thought. If its last might as well make it perfect right? :D

Update: Pushed build.prop into /system get FC on google.map error upon start up. After launching Maps same error and Maps closes.

Dont do it man,dont put that new build.prop file in R11,it slowed my connection to 60kb/s.But a miracle happened,when i put back my old build.prop(with hsxda removed) my speed is back to 400kb/s.Just a suggestion,use whatever you used in R9 for internet speed,and for those that have problems with connections,visual voicemail,or want hsxda hack just post a 2 extra build.prop files for them.Or just post R9 file for us,thanx.

Sweet, with the latest kernel edit & a few other Mods... Programs that was having trouble grabbing root is working fine now :D

Anyways...
Bug Fixes are done... I'll be updating to R11 shortly..
This is a Major Bug fix update.. Everything is untouched

Swt thanks dude. By any chance you have build.prop from R10? I replaced it, deleted it, and now no Service. Cant make any phone calls. :(
