Root {PORT} Behold 2 Stock ( No Twiz w/ Root & Busybox )

Alright just finished flashing and loading some apps up..

first impression is that it seems slightly faster then the galaxy rom... i wont be able to tell if the batter life is better until tomorrow when i get a full charge on it!

so far i loaded GDE, beautiful widget, loaded the pre loaded widgets....

good job.. glad to have vibrate and BH2 camera back! work is much appreciated!
 
Then there's a Problem..

Typical I suggest doing a Odin Restore or a rest before pushing an image.
Could be a bad download as well...

Please Let me know if other's are having issue's as well.

On a side note, 1.6 is a no go... Time to put more work into the Kernel Building and Flashing.

Now that is what I like to hear lol, I tried this myself but failed horribly, and I have been waiting for someone else to give it a try!
 
Great job!

I just loaded this up. For those who want to know. This has the Behold 2 camera, vibrate works, speaker phone works, heck it all works because it is the behold 2 Rom minus touchwiz( except the cube).

Remember to start from stock BH2, turn on usb debugging and switch to pc studio from usb mass storage just like with the Galaxy Rom before starting. You will get no force close and no firmware errors.

Like I said great job.
 
i use both advantage task killer and automatic task killer. But every time i open advantage task killer, it show me 8-9 applications is opening ( some apps that i never open), so i am very confused how exactly does multi-task run on android ?

Current bug with the Behold 2 that it opens apps by itself.
 
some apps auto restart, some because you need them to operate your phone, but yes some apps that dont need to be open open back up anyways which is a bug!
 
Great Work!! One question do you think this ROM will get the update automatically? (The update that TMO is supposed to be pushing out anytime now)
 
Got the ROM installed and rebooted > Reset to factory and everything is running great except vibrate and the camera is default. The camera was cool but not needed the vibrate is a must though. My phone is probably messing with me we have a love - hate relationship. Please let me know if there is anything i can try to get the vibration back.
 
Alright... so far 2 hours off the charger.. and its down to 85% battery life... and thats from the 95% starting mark... ive not done anything with the phone other then make a 3 min phone call... seems like the battery is dying faster, however only the rest of the day will tell.. ill post again after i get off work!

other then that possible issue.. it runs really fast and smooth.. vibration.. camera working.. so far so good!

I had the same problem. You need to odin back to stock and try again. Before you copy the files from the zip from this post to your sd card delete any copies of them from the sd card first o start with a blank sd card.Then go again. The vibrate works and the camera is the fancy BH2 camera.

Thank you for the Quick response Notahotshot, I will do that and try again.

First part right , they open because they are needed or pre_opened for speed , second part wrong , its not a bug , in android when an app is opened and not running its doing nothing till its called upon by the system , if the memory is needed (all 50kb) the GC will reclaim it for the system , DO NOT USE ANY TASK KILLERS , they are a waste of time and processing power . Use only Auto Kill , this works with the phone's own killer GC ( Garbage Collector ) which is part of Dalvik .. Forget about what the task killers are telling is running , those programs were developed with a windows mobile memory structure , not android , .Again , with android if the app is opened but not running , its not going to slow your system , cause if the space is needed the GC will kill and reclaim It . THIS IS NOT WINDOWS MOBILE , please stop thinking that way . Auto kill just tweaks the GC so its more effective, and is not a added process like task killers. Please find some time to do some research ,
BTW great work BH__man.........

If so, why i can gain more memory when i kill some applications by task killer ?

I've heard this before, but it contradicts my experience. The two most notable things are when tmo hotspot is running, it auto connects me to wifi (I live in NYC, there is a hotspot/starbucks on every block) and also with some other apps that call GPS. By letting these apps run, I'm forced onto wi-fi or having GPS run, killing my battery. ATK is able to kill these processes quickly for me. But I'm going to look into an auto-kill app, see if that helps with my issues.
