This was also my mindset but alas, no one knows when it'll be coming

If Kam and the others can get the camera & music player up to snuff, I'm all over this like Tiger Woods on a skank.
 
Oh and one more question to the developers. This fixes the crappy "mass" texting on the behold 2 right? like I can send to more than 10 people at a time?

Haha that is just wrong man just so wrong lol
 
If u get odin working first, then you can always oding it back to stock bh2.

There's little to no chance of bircking it :) If it doesnt boot its because the OS is messed up.. Odin restores it totally back to factory.

Most people who failed then have problems with odin drivers and panic! Get odin working first and u can restore in about 2 mins!

You'll have to make sure you copy down the message center number.

And I suppose now that they figured out how to do this, that maybe the source code from Samsung could be tweaked. I for one am holding off on doing this as I'm one of the few who like TouchWiz(don't hit me :P ). Though since they haven't cracked the boot loader, it may still be a while.

Keep up the good work.

PS: It would be nice to see a complete noob's guide to this. I for one dont know what it means "to odin"

So no messaging is working on this at the moment? Would ChompSMS work or all together no messaging is working?

Are those the only 2 issues - vibration and messaging? I'm really excited about this and want to get TouchWiz off this phone as soon as possible!
 
I think its because the galaxy image hasn't been told how to lookup its network settings. From the messenging app on a non-modded behold ii, in the menu you can find the tmobile settings.

Hearing this I wouldnt be surprised to hear you had to enter in the apn settings as well. If thats the case you'll also have to enter in the pic msg settings too.

to odin means to boot your phone in download mode, then connect your phone via usb, and dowload the odin files for the behold2, then extract the files, open the folder that you extracted, open the odin multi downloader application, then select all the correct files, then click start! After a couple minutes it all done!

Keep up the good work guys ... I'm with you in spirit.

Woah woah whoah! I've been using the galaxy rom on my BH2 for the past day and a half. Messaging has worked like a charm. Also I disabled the default notifications and I use Handcent SMS.

I live in California and I'm under the T-Mobile network. Aside from the vibration and speakerphone not working everything else has been working very well.

What must I do to get ODIN up & running first?

Please download the Odin files from here:

http://shrunk.me/I7500XXIK5-PDA-CL99814-REV5_ITV_.tar

Extract them to your desktop or somewhere you can get to them easily. Then open up the extracted folder and you will see "Odin Multi Downloader v4.03.exe". From here shut down your phone completely. Then boot it up by holding Volume Down + OK(Middle of dpad) + Power. Once your booted into "Download Mode" start the odin multi downloader. You will need to select all the files and such then click start.

Okay, sounds easy enough

I also found this on the xda developers site

[Devs Needed]Behold 2/II Updated Information for Root/ROMS - Page 3 - xda-developers

would this be a correct step by step tutorial?
