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

Thank you BH_MAN. I just flashed your ROM to my phone after being hesitant for a few weeks and I love it. One thing though is I still use MyFaves and I was wondering if and how I can reinstall the app the phone came with.
 
Alright, so I've been running this ROM for about a week and over all I'm digging it. It's definitely quicker than stock, but my one gripe is this: my battery life has been horrible since I flashed it over, I'll charge it fully and leave it untouched with WIFI and GPS off and I'll come back after like two hours and the damn thing is on 80%.

The thing I don't get is everyone is saying how awesome the battery life is, so what am I doing wrong here, because I know I had much better battery life on stock. Should I ODIN back to stock and flash the ROM again?

actually the only rom so far that has been best for battery life was the updated stock touchwiz. I would go to bed and wake up with less than 10% used during the night. When i went to this rom it made it a little worse but still better than non-updated touchwiz

Number 1 RULE when Changing Rom's....

1. FUlly Charge Before doing an ODIN....

2. Let It Fully Die and Power Off & Charge Full while Off..

3. Doing the above will Show major Improvements!

I can attest to this. I flashed the latest "Behold 2 No Twiz", let it die completely, charged it while off--and let it over charge for about an hour--before I turned it on for regular use. After this cycle, the phone lasted about 40 hours.

Give it a try, I think you'll be impressed.

Hmmm... I did all of the above when I flashed over... But maybe I'll flash over once more and see if I get the same results.

But yeah I definitely agree with Paul I the battery life on stock with update was pretty damn good, I was able to go two and a half days before I needed a recharge. If I could get that kind of battery life on BH_MAN's ROM it might just pretty damn near perfect.
 
I don't know if this would have any battery-boosting effects, but whenever I flash a new ROM I always format the SD card. Probably has no impact, but I do it anyway.
 
how do you all restore data, application after ODIN file ? I always reinstall everything from market, and it take long time to do.
 
I have yet to try it out but titanium backup will supposedly back up all of your apps, settings, and plus it will back up your market links so that way you can still get update notifications.

But reinstall apps from Astro's backup folder, we can't check apps update from market.

Titanium Backup is a wonderful app that will restore the Market Links, if you get the Donate Version. I love it, it works wonderfully especially if you are constantly working with different roms!

Same here. I was about to get about 80hrs+ while using the phone. Wasnt heavy use. Couple of texting, 2-3hrs of talk time during those 3 days, I was happy. :D

I'm having a problem running Odin I hope you guys can help me out with

I'm running Windows 7 32-bit and when I load up Odin (v. 4.03) I get a message: IMAGE PATH "and some Chinese characters". Not only when I load Odin up but also when I attempt anything, such as selecting an OPS/PDA file. It seems I can follow through with any action but I don't want to risk it. Anyone know what's going on?

Anyone have a solution or tip on this? Is it safe to go on with the flashing? I couldn't find any other thread/post on this situation..
