You can try this:

// The controller

$scope.submitForm = function(form){
   		//Force the field validation
   		angular.forEach(form, function(obj){
   			if(angular.isObject(obj) && angular.isDefined(obj.$setDirty))
   			{ 
   				obj.$setDirty();
   			}
   		})
        
        if (form.$valid){
		
			$scope.myResource.$save(function(data){
		     	//....
			});
		}
}

<!-- FORM -->

  <form name="myForm"  role="form" novalidate="novalidate">
<!-- FORM GROUP to field 1 -->
  <div class="form-group" ng-class="{ 'has-error' : myForm.field1.$invalid && myForm.field1.$dirty }">
      <label for="field1">My field 1</label>
        <span class="nullable"> 
        <select name="field1" ng-model="myresource.field1" ng-options="list.id as list.name for list in listofall"
          class="form-control input-sm" required>
            <option value="">Select One</option>
        </select>
        </span>
        <div ng-if="myForm.field1.$dirty" ng-messages="myForm.field1.$error" ng-messages-include="mymessages"></div>
  </div>
    
<!-- FORM GROUP to field 2 -->
  <div class="form-group" ng-class="{ 'has-error' : myForm.field2.$invalid && myForm.field2.$dirty }">
    <label class="control-label labelsmall" for="field2">field2</label> 
      <input name="field2" min="1" placeholder="" ng-model="myresource.field2" type="number" 
      class="form-control input-sm" required>
    <div ng-if="myForm.field2.$dirty" ng-messages="myForm.field2.$error" ng-messages-include="mymessages"></div>
  </div>

  </form>

<!-- ... -->
