Well, lets just say it will never see 1.6, but I was lucky enough to get ahold of it for everyone.

I notice a small issue sometime when using the dialer, sometimes the keys get stuck/delayed when dialing a number. and sometimes it will say forceclose, is there anyway to fix this??? and does anyone else notice it???
It's literally the exact same process.

I've been having a problem with this too lately, including unable to hang up calls or pick up call waiting.

Please take 30 seconds of your life to read just the subject lines of the sticky topics. If you can't find the sticky thread on how to use ODIN, you probably shouldn't try using it.
If you take 30 seconds, you'll save everyone else from reading the same post 100x.
Alright listen bro. I am not "tech savvy" like most of you guys. I installed R8 which was REALLY easy adn has simple steps. All i wan tis to install this bloatware or whatever it is on my Behold 2 and thats it. Can someone atleast tell me what to put in for whihc and give steps as if you are describing it to a man who has no clue about this sort of stuff. Thank you!

BH_MAN I just gotta say I love this ROM though I hate bloatware. I love the camera and I can't seem to get the 1.6 no twiz working, so I am sticking this this. Plus once loaded I don't really notice much issues. I hope when you get 2.1 that you do a 2.1 stock so I can keep the camera and the rotating cube home screen. I love the features of 2.1 and can't wait to see how live wallpapers work on the Behold 2.
Is this guy serious? We try to be as helpful as possible on this forum but this is pushing it. READ THE ODIN INSTRUCTIONS POST!!!

You do realize you can delete "bloatware"?
IT was " an unnamed file was not found "after i did that all!

Last time i tried that the phone crashed and I had to reflash so I just leave it there now. I'm pretty much a noob when it comes to this and I am working 2 different systems, the Behold II with ODIN and the G1 through the recovery. It doesn't do much harm anyway.
Hi...I'm familiar with Android, ROM flashing, and so forth with HTC phones. However, I just got my wife a Behold 2 and it's a whole different animal. I successfully ported the Galaxy 1.5 version to it to get rid of all of Samsung's extra crap. However, the volume doesn't work and there's that camera issue. I want to install the rom on this thread but have no clue how to. The instructions assume a lot of knowledge. I need some pointing in the right direction concerning how to get this rom installed on the phone. Thank you for any help you can provide. I don't know what ODIN is...if it's like a recovery ROM I don't know how to get it on there...i'm Behold dumb...help me!
Is there something wrong with this rom? I dunno if its just me or what but my friend and I installed this on our beholds exactly to the instructions and its perfect for like a week then it totally flips out and FC on everything, random restarts and then the phone just craps and then you have to reflash it..

Not me it's perfect. Google voice not fc for me either. No problems at all. Sorry I know that doesn't help, but no there is no problem with this build.

Are you saying a little bird told you that the Behold II will never officially get a version beyond 1.5 (1.6 or 2.x) or just not 1.6?Well, lets just say it will never see 1.6, but I was lucky enough to get ahold of it for everyone.
I was wondering why if the factory version of 1.6 is pretty much good to go if Samsung was sitting on it or T-Mobile was or what.

Lets just say (and I'm assuming from previous inferences) that this was most likely a update until Google dropped the 2.0/2.1 bomb on them and they decided it was better to wait. When the BH2 came out 1.6 really hadn't been out that long, so Sammy was most likely working on this to be an update and abandoned it to pool resources for the 2.x update.
Not saying that is the truth but that's where the evidence leads me to believe.
