Root Dev Needed... 2.1 Running on the Behold 2

[Jr_223]

I guess thats it for BH2 also. . . good run though.

I'm sorry to hear this news, but BH_Man has a life, and that's not a bad thing. lol I don't suppose there'd be anybody else with the necessary talent?

 

[darryl zero]

I think what is currently out there is as good as it will ever get for BH2 ROM's.

I was at least hoping for FroYo on this, but it seems like that's gonna be a rarity on most 528MHz phones. I think I'm gonna wait for an HSPA+ phone that can run Gingerbread comes out... And it won't be a Samsung (no matter how much people rave about the Vibrant).

well every phone on tmo has 2.1/2.2 except for bh2 and cliq xt officially or unofficially. the g1/mytouch has 2.2 from cm6, n1 has 2.2, cliq has 2.1 rom, vibrant has 2.1 slide has 2.1 hell the hd2 has 2.1 or 2.2

Work will Continue

Work will Continue

That's fantastic news BH_MAN I've been following your work for a while now and I really appreciate your dedication, I'm just sorry there's not been any help in the way of your 2.1 development. Thanks again!

 

[DynamitePress]

Interesting...well, certainly let us know if you need anything!

 

[SuperKoopa]

In the meantime I'm using the New EUGENE373_PDA_FINAL Galaxy 1.6 found here . The only real issue I've found with this one is that the 'end' key no longer takes you to your home screen, instead you press the back button until you get back to home...or press the 'home' screen but it leaves the apps running in the background. I'm not sure if the behavior of the End key was intentionally changed or not but still despite that, I find this to be the best release.

 

[boloj]

This maybe a stupid question How hard would it be to port galaxy 2.1 to the behold 2 its already was done for 1.6 why not 2.1?

 

[bobbyjones69]

i will pay you to get it working

 

[TheKrell]

i will pay you to get it working

And I will be happy to loan Eugene my BH2 if only somebody can help me get the ^&** photos off! See problem here: http://androidforums.com/samsung-behold-2/136809-usb-connection-problems-behold-2-a.html#post1502877

I hate to ask what may seem obvious, but do you have a card reader?

 

[TheKrell]

Ha! Yes I do, though I didn't use it yet. Seems like if I can use Odin (which I can), then I should be able to read my pics and video off...

 

[bearsfan85]

Eugene is not going to work on this, read his posts, there are no drivers for 2.1 so you cant just flash galaxy onto it, if you read previous posts then all the would be known. The reason it said Devs Needed is because there is work that needs to be done to get it working and now that summer is over people tend to get busier and not have time to work on things outside of their jobs, most developers have moved on from this phone on to other things or are busy, what is out there is out there and as unfortunate as it seems it looks like that will be it.

The Krell, did you mount ur sd card....

What do you make of post 305? Apparently somebody is working on it, if not Eugene.

Regarding pulling the SD card and plugging it into a card reader, I didn't do that yet. It galls me that I have to turn off the phone and fumble around with all of this, when all it should take is plugging in the USB cable.

I was going off of 296 I feel like a jerk now because I just told people to read, and I didnt read one post, my bad, thats great news.

 

[BH_MAN]

Testing a few thing today, as I have free time. I can't say I'll have updates super fast & keep in mind it might be a month before I can post a Rom or 2 pending progress & error found & made..

Thanks,
~Eugene

P.S.
Yes I have a Behold 2 in hand, still not 100% sure if I need to return it after done or not, but at least I have one to work with now..

 

[TheKrell]

Great news Eugene! Did you get it from Cincinnatti Bell? I think they owe you one outright if they really stole your rom. I realize it's open source and all, but still.

 

[darryl zero]

Android is open source, but are all ROM builds based on it open source too? HTC Sense and Touch Wiz are open source then?

HTC Sense and Touch Wiz are not open source.

 

[darryl zero]

Exactly... And TW or Sense are really no different from your ROM's, right? It's a user interface tailored for a specific handset built on top of the Open Source Android OS?

While this Cin Bell thing is unlikely to ever happen again, still sucks that they used it commercially without compensation or even permission.

I'm straying here....

Thanks Eugene for continuing to dev for this phone. 2.0+ would be bad ass, and should keep us going well into 2011.

I'd love a little apps to SD action if you can swing it. You slap a couple of games on this handset and it kills the internal storage space.

Not sure I understand, but all my rom's had a2sd

 

[suyash1]

Not sure I understand, but all my rom's had a2sd

I think he is talking about getting a2sd on the ota 1.6

I think I'm in love with you.

awkward moment over? no? well, regardless, thanks. and I don't think any of us expect it to be instant, we know you have a life and greatly appreciate you taking time to help us out! I am enormously excited that it might even be possible to get 2.1. that'd be...yeah, pretty awesome.

 

[fenderman]

The only thing I can say is thanks again for the time and effort for the possibility of a 2.1 rom!!! And if a 2.1 rom comes out I'm sure Samsung will hear about it!
