Please add aps2sd in your next rom.
Yeah, tried that but no love nor from Better Terminal Emulator. Anything I can try besides flashing 1.5 stock, the 1.6 OTA and then the kernel?
Did you install the Superuser.apk?
ADB should already be running as root. When you first open an ADB shell your command prompt will read "#" - that's how you know you have root. Otherwise the prompt will be "$".
Nu11u5,
How can I add multi language support to the BHII? Is it by instaling fonts or it requires a different rom?
THanks a lot for your hardwork and dedication to the BHII community. Would it be possible to write a document described the steps to root, change the ROM,..etc. This will help us splitting any future work among us to help you and future developers.
Thaaaaaaaank you again (I am still hoping to have the 2.1 android on my BHII soon...)
I don't know anything about multi-language support in Android. Is this something other 'droid phones have?
Your welcome for the ROMs. Its something I enjoy doing. Makes me wonder why I gave up on that computer engineering degree.
I've just updated my little guide on ROM editing, including a section on kernel and recovery images. Have a look at it and let me know what needs more explaining, if anything is ambiguous, or just doesn't work. I'll update it with one more section with generic and advanced information and any recommendations I get.

already had it installed... I am starting over fresh from 1.5... I am guessing that should do it.
Seems straight forward, i'll give the kernel modification instructions a run tomorrow and see if i can get a bootable kernel.
Thanks for the documentation.
Thanks for all your hard work! I would just like to voice my interest in Apps2SD and hope you can find the time to revisit it.

if for any reason you can get adb working you can always use the app "installer" and put superuser.apk on the SD
I would love to have a2sd. I'm doing ok with what I got. I used BH_MAN's old root kernel to get rid of stuff to gain some memory. Just out of curiosity, but what is the benefit of this kernel as opposed to BH_MAN's? I'm going to flash it anyways I was just curious. I noticed I still get the occasional sleep bug could that be linked to the kernel? I never had it before untill I tried out the galaxy rom to see how it was. I've tried mulitiple flashes as well as checking the format pda box. Does anyone know of a process that can basically get the phone back to stock like i've never done anything to it. I mean when I flashed the update odin I flashed back to the original odin Nu11u5 posted and then to this one. I will say my BH2 seems a little bit quicker which is nice.

Don't get me wrong, I loved the work you did on the ROM. It had *great* battery life, and I preferred it over the Galaxy rom's. But the problem is when I looked at it wrong the damn thing would give me a force close, plus there was something funky going on with the lock screen.
Anyway I'm pretty sure these problems were because it's based off that alpha 1.6 release you got your hands on... If only you were still around to work your magic on this final build 1.6.

P.S. I really hope you guys understand I wasn't trying to be ungrateful, it's just that there's only so much he could have done to a buggy build without having access to the source code.
I understand how much work BH_MAN has put into his roms and I'm truly appreciative all of the work he has put into them.

Just for clarification... flashing this kernel will not overwrite my settings, apps, etc?

I hope the revised OTA kernel, when ever it gets released by Samsung, will be easily rooted.
Now that I know the process I can root any kernel it in just a few minutes.
Put it on the SD card and run it in a file explorer app to install.
Hey guys. I'm new to this Android rooting business...
I've been reading different threads on this forum for hours, yet I'm still very confused and lost... I've got a BH2 with T-Mobiles ota 1.6. I've never modded my phone, but I really want to try it out..
So if I wanted to use this 1.6 root.. I would do that first before I put a mod on the phone? I need a step-by-step guide.. if anyone wants to help. I'm a quick learner!

With the BH2 you don't need root to install a custom ROM. It will allow you to use special programs that access otherwise restricted system resources like backup utilities, remote tracking software, startup managers, certain themes, etc.
All you need to install this root enabler or any other custom ROM is the Odin PC ROM flashing software.
