any problems with losing root? while having the rom on your phone for a day or 2?
I still have root. I used to loose it all the time with Take5, maybe I set something up wrong. Now when I run Titanium Backup I always have root.

Nothing you did, need the new Superuser 2.22 & the su file that matches to fix all of my old Rom's regarding root.

This won't touch any apps, settings, or data.

Are you ok with me using the kernel to build a rom off of?
Sure

Where can I get the new Superuser 2.22 and matching su file? I did a google search and found nothing but Superuser 1.20. I know its included in this rom, but is there a homepage for the development of these files?

If you download the OPs file on the first post it includes SuperUser2.2 so that you can install it.
Superuser 2.2.2 was originally released on xda-developers by ChainsDD.

Nu11u5, thank you for your great work. A few questions: I never got the OTA stock 1.6. I got it through ODIN by following your instructions. Can I still work with this root? Will it again wipe everything from the BH2? After root, what do I do to run apps from my micro-sd card? Thanks for your advice.
Cool
Edit: Seems like from your answer to Android Fiend, your md5 here only grants root and does not touch anything else. Also, Stock 1.6 is about 250Mb and this is about 3.5 Mb. But I still would like confirmation and instructions to my first and third questions above. Thanks in advance for guidance.

I just flashed BH2_OTA16_Tweaked and Root-BH2-16. I'm trying to use Titanium Backup but it says it could not acquire root privileges and I need BusyBox and to try again. I flashed the Root-BH2-16 as one package and checked the box, is this correct, I did this after the Tweaked Rom, where I also did the same do did I do something wrong? Thanks for these roms!
The root will work and not modify any files. The size is smaller because it changes a smaller part of the ROM.
APPS2SD is not enabled in this.
You still need the Superuser.apk

Thanks Nu11u5 for clarification. I would like to have app2sd also, if possible.

Nu11u5, pardon my ignorance, is superuser.apk what I need to run the "ls" command without adb? I am not too confident that I really know what adb is or does. :-(
Cool
Update: I installed root. Copied superuser.apk to micro sd card. Use Astro to run superuser.apk, and chose install. Superuser permission icon is now part of Touchwiz. When I execute superuser permission it gives me a blank screen. I pressed Menu button and it gives preferences. How do I list applications to delete? Please advice. TIA!!
Cool
Update 2: Figured out how to do it.
To use superuser permission
1 Make sure /Settings/Application Settings/Development/USB debugging is checked
2 Connect BH2 to pc via usb
3 Open command prompt in pc
4 Change to the directory where adb and sdk are located
5 Type "adb shell" (without quotes) and hit return
6 Type "cd /system/app" (without quotes) and hit return
7 Type "ls" (without quotes) and hit return
8 To remove an application, type "rm

Odin-ed root. After reboot, I again rebooted the BH2. On this second reboot, got error message: Application Messaging (in process com.android.mms) is not responding. Force Close or Wait. I chose wait, and it went to the home screen. Is this normal?
Cool
Update: rebooted again and it is not doing it anymore, hopefully.

Thanks! That did it. I got everything I wanted and had with 1.5. I still get some force close errors though. Not sure what to do about those. I also lost Opera Bridge and can't find it in the market anymore. Is there anyway I can get it unfortunately I didn't back it up I did the factory reset before I saw your post.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to which app I should/could remove to make the BH2 run more efficient and give me more space? TIA for advice.

Pretty much every app that can be removed has been removed in v3 with the exception of IM i believe, microhaxo is working on getting rid of twiz as seen by hes porting over some of the galaxy apps and previous posts but as that happens the phone gets more unstable thus less efficient. If you want a bh2 to run more efficient and give you more space and you dont need vibrate then you should use the galaxy port but as a bh2 with twiz all that can be done has been done with thanks to microhaxo
