i don't know if any one else has experienced it or not but whenever i try to browse internet or install something from market the wifi sucks but while i was on youtube, facebook and tweet caster i never felt any lag. :confused: strange :(
[Android Development on Bada] bandzo87:
You could not boot android on JID, it doesn't have FOTA at all. You have first to upgrade JID to JK1 (its minor patch upgrade, everything you have on your phone would be saved). Than proceed with booting android, but first at all after flashing to JK1 from JID you have to flash new FOTA and new boot files for not listed firmwares as JK1 BOOT FILES FOTA

So finally I got it working... after a few hours of struggling with bada boots, green lines and screens...

I managed to get wifi working and the phone doesn't turn off anymore after phone locks.

So far the battery life is great for an alpha release... I have also a galaxy s with miui but battery life is worse.

So guys, you did a great job! Thank you for this great port and waiting fore more updates!
[Android Development on Bada] hisee:
any update of modem?
[Android Development on Bada] NHS2008:
It is due to Filesystem errors in "system/etc/wifi" folder.

Go to Gparted and unmount your EXT2/3 partition and right-clcik and 'check' it. Confirm the action.

then once one, 'safely remove' from Ubuntu by right-clicking on any of the three partitions and then unmount and remount it from 'devices' tab. Then do the regular 'chmod' and 'sudo sync' from terminal on your EXT2/3 partition. Make sure to 'safely remove' the partitions before unmounting them, just to be on the safe side.
[Android Development on Bada] d128b:
That's a really interesting look.

My question is: it's really good android on wave? wait... for a little thing: battery.

Bada manage battery in a very good mode... may android do the same?

My wave has a battery life like 3 days with a normal usage. My android phone (with same battery) it's about one or one and half....
[Android Development on Bada] virusx:
Hi, first of all big thanks again to oleg_k and all dev making this possible, thanks to ShadowAS1 for this tutorial, and finally thanks to NHS2008 and Qron for the straight answers and help over the flashing procedure.

I finally suceed in installing this Alpha Android on my wave and I found it pretty stable for an alpha.

EDIT

: I have JK1 firmware and I had to flash the bootfiles in point 1. with the FOTA.

Every app I tried worked (mainly games and mostly angry birds stuff).

I had to put a static IP for my Wifi in order to make it work.

The voice recognition hangs the phone when opened (perhaps because I put my phone in French). If someone with android in english got the voice command working, let me know, elsewhere I'll PM ShadowAS1 about this bug.

cheers

Hello all,

I would like to thanks everyone who worked so much to put android inside a wave/bada os...

It's indeed amazing the brilliant work made so far...and watching the videos with android...that is very very cool

I understand that most of the people here want desperately to see Froyo on the Wave and so far i've read everything and i've seen that many users have diferent opinions in how-to install tutorial...

I would be very grateful if someone (with a sucessfull instalation) had the patience to make a 2nd tutorial version with updated links and contents. I'm somehow a little lost in here.

Thank you very much to all
[Android Development on Bada] DoomS59000:
Hi.

I think that was an amazing work you do it here; but i've a question. If 3G and Calls doesn't work. What mean is this for the SMS ? if i install Android, then i have it always ?

Sorry for my english.

Thanks.

And too : When can we do it on Windows, WITHOUT linux ?
[Android Development on Bada] SeelenGeier:
Ok after my fifth try doing the tutorial I have a few problems:

1. I had to use the bootfiles although I have the XXJL2 (March). (tried it 4 times without, no Galaxy S screen...with bootfiles, Galaxy S screen appears at least)

2. I flashed the current FOTA and the bootfiles with Multiloader (all files taken from the tutorial)

3. I partitioned my SD-card (16GB) with 15GB FAT32 (label:bada) and 1GB ext3 (label:android)

4. I extracted the files from filesystem.tgz and only copied the following folders to "/media/android/": cache, data, dbdata, lfs, system (those are all folders within the filesystem-folder)

5. I renamed the folder "update_22-6_zImage" to "galaxyboot" and copied it to "/media/3..../"(the 411MB internal filesystem of my wave) (I can even see it when I browse my filesystem in Bada Oo)

6. I copied the s3c-keypad.kl to "/media/android/system/usr/keylayout/" and replaced the file already in there

7. used "chmod -R 0777 -v ./*" in "/media/android/" and get no errors (the verbose messages indicate that everything worked)

8. used "sudo sync"

9. removed the USB-cable and shut down bada

10. held the end-call button and about 0,5secs afterwards I held the start-call button

11. strange artefact infected screen (in lack of a better description) appears for a few seconds and I released the end-call button

12. Galaxy S screen appears

13. 30min later...Galaxy S screen is still there -.-

And this is where I'm stuck (or rather my wave...). Can't see what i did wrong.

I think the tutorial could be a bit more precise on the copying section for the filesystem stuff (if someone explains to me, what I did wrong, I can add a small description myself).

Thank you,

SeelenGeier
[Android Development on Bada] SeelenGeier:
SMS are also sent via 3G (correct me if I'm wrong). You can use this version of android to use offline functions or together with a WLAN network you can use online stuff, but no phone (includes SMS, calls, Modem, etc.).

If you use internet via WLAN, you can try VoIP to make a call (don't know if this works). But you can use apps like Whatsapp or others to communicate with your friends (much cheaper than actual SMS).

You can not install Android without using some of the porting code our beloved devs are creating. There might be a few versions, that support other functions, but I didn't see a version being fully functional and stable.
[Android Development on Bada] flaviucu:
I did almost everything you did. Except for the part with flashing the bootfiles. You have to flash bootfiles only if you have unsupported FW. JL2 is supported.

Flash only the FOTA without anything checked.

Mind that it didn't worked for me for the first time... If you just redo all the steps once again you might be luckyer!
[Android Development on Bada] SeelenGeier:
But I tried four times without the bootfiles (only FOTA) and I didn't even get the Galaxy S screen. It just booted into Bada everytime, regardless of what Button I pushed.

How can I unflash the bootfiles anyway? Could this really be the cause for the stuck Galaxy screen?
[Android Development on Bada] flaviucu:
You have to reflash JL2 once again, and then flash the new FOTA.

One time it started bada instead of android when I pressed the combo; and I realised that I forgot to put android files in the ext3 android partition...

When you partition the sdcard... you have to create the fat32 first and then the ext3...

I don't know what else could be the problem because I did exactly the same.

Maybe it's the sdcard.. I've read that others with 16GB SD cards had issues before.
[Android Development on Bada] virusx:
Did you check that your IP is given by your router (in the Android WiFi settings page), if not, you should put a static IP. I had to do that in order to have a fully working Wifi connection.
[Android Development on Bada] Qron:
@virusx

Your problem is a matter of fact that driver for microphone wasn't developed yet.

@SeellenGeier

Maybe you should try the ext2 file system instead of ext3. Many users complain about that. Maybe this issue is a matter of certain sd cards, though i don't know this for sure.
[Android Development on Bada] virusx:
I'm not sure but I think reflashing is not necessary. I think you better have to double check your permissions on your folders and try to get root access at the begining of unpacking/copying files procedure.

cheers
[Android Development on Bada] SeelenGeier:
I will try to reflash JL2. Can I just start Kies and make it do the magic or do I have to flash some firmware on this forum (a link would help if necessary ^^)?

If it's the SD-card, how can I check this? I don't have a smaller card at hand (I could check at home, but I would have to search my storage...*shudder*). I didn't read anything about bad SD-cards. Where did you read this? Is there a list of good/bad SD-cards somewhere? (I have a "Sandisk 16GB microSDHC")

Edit:

@Qron: I tried ext2 and ext3...no success. I will try again.

@VirusX: I have root access the entire time, shall I use a different user instead of root and only use root for a certain command? (I'm afraid, I'm not very used to Linux)
[Android Development on Bada] boby1010:
Stranges results after test

Hi everybody,

Just want to tell you something, I don't know if someone has ever saw it:

I use 2 micro SD, exactly the same: transcend Micro SDHC 8go / class 4

- One is work great, fast and stable

- the second one is fast but very instable, It's not possible to make more than 3 startup and there are many bugs, (physical buttons do'nt work, wifi error, apps cant't be installed)

The partitions are exactly the same, and are cloned for eatch one (with same chmod, and content...)

Strange results

Sorry for my bad english...
[Android Development on Bada] SeelenGeier:
@Qron: THANK YOU SO MUCH!

It worked. I reformatted (must have been the 20th time by now) like this:

1. unmounted FAT32

2. unmounted ext2

3. deleted FAT32

4. deleted ext2

5. created FAT32 with 15GB and label "bada"

6. created ext2 with 1GB and label "android"

Then I copied the files and used chmod and sudo sync.

Then I tried to boot android again (endcall, 0.5sec later startcall, release endcall when screen lights up, released startcall when galaxy screen appeared).

About 5 seconds later (first boot) the introduction to Galaxy S came up and the config wizard opened (I will go on now).

Thank you all.

As I promised, I will try to write a more detailed Tutorial so every step is more precise. You should make an FAQ for all those possible errors that appeared already (answer "dunno, try again" is not very accurate ^^).

EDIT: NOW IT WON'T BOOT AGAIN...STRANGE Oo but at least I know it could work ^^

Cheers,

SeelenGeier
[Android Development on Bada] nbates66:
you should be SAFELY REMOVING and/or UNMOUNTING the drives before unplugging them.
[Android Development on Bada] SeelenGeier:
What? I thought sudo sync is the command for safely remove...So should you just unmount all 3 devices (internal, fat32 and ext2) and then remove the USB? Or is there a simple "click here" way to do this?
[Android Development on Bada] shekharsom:
In order to update the version with a new version, which files are to be downloaded? FOTA only? or Zimage?
[Android Development on Bada] Qron:
@Seelen

The "sync" command writes any data buffered in memory out to disk. Basically this should be enough but just for sure you might unmount your card.

@shekharsom

Zimage is the most important, as it consists all drivers and so on. As I know, new verion of fota was brought to make it compatible with higher amount of firmwares.
[Android Development on Bada] SeelenGeier:
What problems could be there if a user flashes the bootloader although he has a compatible Firmware?

If it does not have any negative consequences, I think it would be better to include this in the tutorial as a necessary step.
[Android Development on Bada] Qron:
It's a difficult question, and I think that even Shadow might not know the answer.

The best way to find is it necessary, or on the other hand could it be harmful is to ask mijoma.
[Android Development on Bada] flaviucu:
Glad to hear SeleenGeier that android booted up. So after all it was the sd card... mine is 4gb and it works perfectly with ext3...

When I flashed the bootloader when I had a compatible FW my phone booted to bada instead... did yours booted to android this way?
[Android Development on Bada] SeelenGeier:
yeah, it booted bada without the bootloader and android with bootloader.

I wouldn't say it was the SD-card. It might have been a false action I did. Now it boots again, after carefully doing the partitioning and copying again (I might skip the partitioning next time).

hmpf...as I typed the text above, I left my phone unattended...and it shut down. It looks like it doesn't boot to android anymore (like the first time when it worked). The first time I thought it was because it crashed within the configuration wizard...but now I was in the home screen.

So anyone had the same issue?

It looks like it only boots to android on the first time after the tutorial.

Leaving the phone unattended for about 20 seconds it crashes and shuts down without a message.

Afterwards I can not reboot to android (I get stuck in the Galaxy S screen).
[Android Development on Bada] flaviucu:
well... there is a bug... if the phone stays locked for a minute or so... it freezes.. or shuts down (don't know which one). So I installed load monitor from market and checked "wake lock" and the problem it's gone. Yours should boot android after... something gone wrong I suppose
[Android Development on Bada] NitramNach:
Pages ago there were reports that the ext2 filesystem is not stable on many SANDISK cards (I'm one of them), no matter the size and class.

Although there are reports that theirs SANDISK are working properly, but unstable report is more than stable one.

So if you have an unstable ext2 on a SANDISK card, try another one if you have. Or be prepared the ext2 will crash after a few boots.

Also, for save USB removal (for using Virtual Box), I always do the followings:

- use 'sudo sync' as told

- unmount the Samsung Wave from the Virutal Box, i.e. at the manual bar, uncheck the tick of Samsung Wave.

- wait until Windows re-detect the USB

- use 'Safely remove the device' to unmount from Windows

- Unplug the USB cable.
[Android Development on Bada] nbates66:
i'm pretty sure this is the same as unplugging without unmounting, to unmount:

in Ubuntu, click the "System" bar at top, and select Administration, then Disk Utility

select the devices representing your SDcard or phone on the left pane, then select each partition on the right pane and unmount each one.

Then(this part possibly unnecessary), select "safely remove" for each device.
[Android Development on Bada] SeelenGeier:
As I checked the partitions, I noticed, that there are several new folder on the FAT32 partition. Most of them are those standard folders used for bada, but one of them made me suspicious...

There is a folder called "Android" on my FAT32 partition with some files that look like android stuff. There are a few other folder like that. I think there could be some problem with the partition.

Could this be because I created FAT32 as primary partition and also ext2 as primary partition? Should I make the ext2 non-primary?

Edit: I just tried...there is no non-primary...only extended memory and this is not correct at all
[Android Development on Bada] NHS2008:
It's normal. Like Bada, Android uses the SD Card to store certain files. So for android the ext2/3 is like internal storage and fat 32 is the SD card . Just like Bada.

Both partition should be made primary. Nothing wrong in that.
[Android Development on Bada] SeelenGeier:
Ok I seem to have the partition stuff figured out.

ext3 is also working now.

booting and operating android works fine...once

only on the first boot up. When I leave the phone for more than 20 seconds, it shuts down and can not be booted into android again. (looks like the screensaver has a bug and shuts down instead of locking)
[Android Development on Bada] Holdsolyom:
confirmed that.i said wrong partition crash not caused by card manifacture,its caused by card read/write speed.sandisk cards are faster but class 2 is stable,kingstone class 2 stable,class 4 not always.

please report more research from card stability.
[Android Development on Bada] SeelenGeier:
How can I check what class my SD-card is? (the little number on the top corner of my SD-card (in a small circle) is a 2...if that's the class)

When I use android, everything seems stable. Didn't do very much though.

As soon as I get that shutdown bug away (or the reboot bug), I will test some more.
[Android Development on Bada] NHS2008:
Its due to corruption of File system. increase the timeout period in Display settings.

And then do this.

As for not booting up again. may be you did not apply the 'chmod' permissions properly. Do as I said here. I am lazzyyyy!!

and make sure to 'safely remove' FROM UBUNTU then unmount from devices.

Also. Everytime you power down Android, wait like at least 15-20 seconds before you press the butoon again to boot Bada.

Yes that small no is class.
[Android Development on Bada] SeelenGeier:
So since I am using a Sandisk card, I have to repair the ext partition after every shutdown??? That sucks. I will check, if I can find another card at home.
[Android Development on Bada] NHS2008:
No. not every time. just take precautions and don't do any experiments (like trying to run Talking Tom app :p)...
[Android Development on Bada] SeelenGeier:
what precautions?
[Android Development on Bada] Samuel Sung:
thx for your fast answer! I've tried it and it should work fine if i had a better sd card. Android starts but i got the same problems like before...

But if you want you cann add this cross firmware to the working lists of firmwares...i flashed only the FOTA like you said. :)

"5. go to /data/wifi and delete the .conf file in there."

I cant find this folder

Help! :)
[Android Development on Bada] zmajster01:
I have wifi problem too, and there is no wifi folder in filesystem as point "5. go to /data/wifi and delete the .conf file in there." only one wifi.conf file is in system/etc/wifi.
[Android Development on Bada] Masix:
That means you did something wrong when copying the files to the ext2 partition in ubuntu. Did you copy the CONTENTS of the filesystem to your partition? There have to be 5 maps in the partition. Also make sure you extract the tgz in ubuntu and NOT in windows. (This solved my problem with booting bada after galaxy s bootscreen)
[Android Development on Bada] lanluckez:
Shadow, what class is your SD Card? I try to follow your steps watching your livestream session and my Wave did everything 20x or 30x slower.
[Android Development on Bada] ShadowAS1:

The idea class is 10 but 6 does the job greatly :D
[Android Development on Bada] ShadowAS1:
Okay,

Wifi problem is now known to me :O I don't understand why people keep having it. more imporant is the solutions.

If only IF you are stuck at obtaining IP adress then download this app:

http://www.mediafire.com/?edc30bp78w5ue7j

place it in /data/app launch your phone configure it, turn wifi off and on and see... with this app it MUST work. If it doesnt work then you are doing something wrong.
[Android Development on Bada] Fahrenheit51:
On Step4 you say:

5. go to /data/wifi and delete the .conf file in there.

But for me the .conf file and the whole "wifi" folder isn't in /data but in /etc

To be more precise: filesystem\system\etc

What's wrong?
[Android Development on Bada] bartaspoz:
One thing is not mentined in TUT, you have to run the system once - after that the folder data/wifi will appear in the right place :)

Did you tried it already? If not try to flash only the FOTA and see if it works. If not try it with another Firmware which is matching your language and flash

ONLY

THE FOTA

NOT

THE BOOTFILES!!

if you flash the bootfiles and the firmware is not right you will Brick your phone!
[Android Development on Bada] ShadowAS1:
@ Samuel Sung. There is no support for your FW yet.. I suggest you wait for an update to the FOTA
