I don’t hate it but many people do not like the TouchWiz UI from Samsung. If you are one of them and have a Samsung Behold II in your hands, its time to toss the stock Android on it. Its all easy for you now to get rid of the TouchWiz UI.

Here’s how you do that:

1) Download this file.
2) Extract the file and locate ‘try3′, ‘busybox’, ‘system’, and ‘unyaffs’ in the extracted folder.
3) Copy the files you selected in step 2 onto the SD card. Place the SD card into your phone and reboot.
4) Don’t forget to enable USB debugging and Adb Sell on the phone.
5) Type in the following commands in the shell mode one by one:

adb shell

# Get Root
cat /sdcard/try3 > /data/local/try3
chmod 777 /data/local/try3
/data/local/try3 /system/bin/sh

# Remount system read write
mount -o rw,remount /dev/st9 /system

# Make Root persistant after restore
cat /sdcard/try3 > /system/bin/try3
chmod 777 /system/bin/try3

# Copy unyaffs and busybox
cat /sdcard/unyaffs > /data/local/unyaffs
chmod 777 /data/local/unyaffs

cat /sdcard/busybox > /system/bin/busybox
chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox

/system/bin/busybox –install -s /system/bin/

cd /system/bin
busybox cp -s busybox cp

# backup etc
cd /system
mv etc etc.b2

mkdir libmodules.b2
cp -pr libmodules/* libmodules.b2

# remove behold apps etc and unyaffs galaxy ones
rm -R app

/data/local/unyaffs /sdcard/system

rm -r etc
mv etc.b2 etc

cat /sdcard/busybox > /system/bin/busybox
cd /system/bin
busybox cp -s busybox cp

cd /system

cp -pr libmodules.b2/* libmodules

####### THESE TWO LINES ONLY IF YOU DID NOT PERSISTANT ROOT ALREADY
cat /system/bin/playlogo > /system/bin/playlogo_real
/system/bin/chmod 0755 /system/bin/playlogo_real
#######

echo “#!/system/bin/sh
/system/bin/try3 /system/bin/sh
mount -o rw,remount /dev/st9 /system
cat /system/bin/sh > /system/bin/su
chmod 04755 /system/bin/su
mount -o rw,remount rootfs /
mkdir /data/dbdata
mkdir /data/dbdata/databases
mkdir /data/dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.media
mkdir /data/dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.contacts
chmod 777 /data/dbdata
chmod 777 /data/dbdata/databases
chmod 777 /data/dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.media
chmod 777 /data/dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.contacts
ln -s /data/dbdata /dbdata
/system/bin/playlogo_real” > /system/bin/playlogo

6) Reboot the device
7) Go to the setting and restore factory settings.
