I would also donate!

It would be a perfect device:rolleyes:!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Gilgames13:
Well, count one more here! It's a gorgeous device by itself, if android could be added in the mix, it would be perfect! :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dcyple06:
Definitely interested in Android (preferably with HTC Sense but i guess thats a small add-on once the kernel is on) on the samsung Wave. I'm in Canada and we are always at least a year behind in cell phones because of the NAM 3G bands. I finally saw that Bell is offering the Wave for a ridiculous 300$. When the Desire is selling online for around 800$!! So I would personally donate my ass off to have android on this beautiful device. Hopefully this will influence different dev communities to take action.

And show your support there too! :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TMReuffurth:
I was thinking of buying the Wave, but i refused to do this, because of the OS. I think no one can say if this OS will be developed continuously in the future and Android is on a slightly better lane as there are much more manufactures for now. Doesn´t mean that bada don´t can be a very good competitor in future...

But i decided to buy a Galaxy S on last Thursday and i´m completely excited with the phones speed and all the nice apps from android.

Had a HTC Touch HD before and flashed a lot of the Roms here with WM 6.5, but there´s no comparison to the Galaxy. Another point for me was the big screen. I didn´t want to get back to a smaller screen (Touch HD = 3.7'').
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] psycoy:
I believe that the wave is born with privilege to be different from OS Android, rather it is to divide roads Samsung signed a "GT" the other marked "I" have in common only the production of displays. From owner of WAVE I hope never to see Android on my device ..... but increasingly to revolutionize the design simple and functional ... BADA
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] silverwolf0:
No one's taking your device and replacing it with Android. We'll be taking our own devices and replacing it with Android, if a developer deems us worthy. And please try to talk less like an Engrish spam bot. Like reading the back label of a knockoff toy.

hardware button

I am just wondering if the hardware buttons will affect the functionality of the android OS if ported to Wave.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gingerviking:
Dual booting android and bada. This shouldnt require that much work? It has allready loaded a linux kernel, though maybe one that is incompitable with android...

One of us needs to donate a wave to a skilled dev here at xda.

Hi All,

Today, the forum.bada-os.info created about where users can vote whether they want Android on Samsung Wave or not.

If you wish to vote, go to Chapter Samsung S8500 Wave » Android na Samsungu Wave
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] FedeMan:
Coming from a Nokia 5800 XM, this will be my first experience with a real Smartphone...

So, with this in mind, I was quite afraid of being one of the early adopters of this new Bada OS, but why not give it a chance? I've the chance to try it a little bit, right out off the box came with a lot of apps. Hence, I think it will be fair to say that has a lot of potential, moreover if it got a linux kernel running behind it.

So, I'm more of the idea of giving more time to Samsung to develop thoroughly this OS instead of flashing it with android rightaway.

I know it will be a wonder to have it in android, but I do like less the idea of making android the king of the OS...

On the other hand, I will also support some dev doing an android version for wave. But just to have it just in case Samsung decide not to fully develop bada OS.

Hope nobody gets mad with my thoughts.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] montas:
Hi,

I have found this app on another forum (SamsungWaveForum).

This app lets you hack Bada OS and copy/delete every system file from the phone!

I've tested it and it shows complete files system, including autorun.iso and more...

Is this what we have been waiting for?

Greets
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lasentenza:
With Stune you do not have all the system file.

Only making a theme is very hard on Bada... Then porting an OS, I think that would be very complicated :(

I want Android on Wave.

I need a new smartphone after my 1st gen HTC Touch. I like Samsung Wave, but BADA sucks for me. I want Android on Wave and would like to donate for it.

Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] player911:
Would be nice but highly unlikely

Flashing phones in general isn't that easy. There is ALOT of stuff that goes into flashing a firmware. I mean EVEN today there isn't a phone that can actually flash a different OS. Sure you can hack up some program to load android but even that isn't perfect.

Also think about which phones can do this: Windows Mobile and iPhone

Why is that? Probably because those are the 2 most popular phone OS's. All Windows Mobile phones have the same file structure. And Hackers have been toying with the iPhones since before they were released.

With off the wall OS systems like this one, I doubt it will ever see an Android port. Plus it lacks the physical buttons to really make it worth a damn.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] joehit:
it's a phone with the same architecture as the galaxy must therefore bear the operating system is only a matter of amending a bit and so far I have understood Android is open source so any developer at any time take out an installable version.

I do not understand is, that negativity about this process.

Si se puede solo es cuestion de investigar y de que algun programador arrecho lo haga

I am buying Samsung Wave next week tuesday . . .

I think I will be ok with BADA. . . But Samsung hasnt launched their App Store yet. So I am keen in getting a Android FW for the Samsung Wave.

I am ready to donate . . .

somethings movin! I am puzzled right now, should I wait or buy Samsung Wave? Or should I buy HTC Desire instead?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SSCTI88:
i strongly believe that it will all come around soon. Been using the Wave for 2 months now and absolutely enjoy it. Used android too and it to is great. So to have both on the phone in the near future will be perfect.

samsung has an appstore and it has been launched in india. it has around 1500 apps roughly
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Kangal:
WOW!!!

I'm a smartphone geek and I thought the Wave is just another high-end feature-phone.

I kept reading similar specs to Galaxy S everywhere so I was prompted to check it out.

And they're right its got the same Hummingbird and 512mb RAM! (not sure about the SGX540 graphics though that would be OVERkill!!!) Also they share all the same features (unsure about Wifi-n and TVout), excludig the LED torch of some SGS's.

And I've got to say it is more beautifully built than the Galaxy S.

I think it is better than that plastic beast in EVERY way except screen size and OS.

When (lets stay optimistic) Froyo can make the jump, this would be a beast of a phone.

I was "saving up" and doing research on which GalaxyS to purchase, BUT now I've changed my mind.

I hope the inards are very similar (to Galaxy S) and someone talented can get root access on BADA's linux kernel and find a means of installing CFW. Then perhaps the Galaxy S ROM might go straight in and have the correct drivers, needs less-experienced (but still highly praised) developers to iron out the bugs, improve response, stability and battery life.

And what makes this proposal so so and so (lost for words here, appealing doesn't cut it), is that this phone bought outright is very cheap and its also offered on some of the cheapest plans ... like FREE if your on the $19 plan @2yrs.

Plz Plz, someone make this happen (and also let me know if its the SGX540 in there), I' willing to donate a third of the difference between this and the SGS, and so would most owners that even know of XDA-devs.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Kangal:
I keep reading online that "it doesn't have the right buttons for Android" or something like that. What's that all about?

Are people really that shallow to want 4 buttons instead of a more appealing 3?!?

Its got 3 physical buttons and physical buttons always beats capa-buttons, always :P

Well for argument sakes, the buttons could be "invested" in this format:

1) The middle button could serve as the HOME button when pushed. When its held down (lets say for 1.5secs), it could be used to also open the HOME Screen while simultaneously "Force Closing" the current application ... handy! for those buggy Apps.

2) The right button could serve as the MENU button when pushed. When its held down (1.5secs), it would instead initiate the SEARCH command, handy! for GPS/surfing/media playback.

3) The left button could serve as the BACK button when pushed. Or when held down (1.5secs), it could show you "A page of previews of all currently running applications"**, handy! for speedy multitasking.

See, what I just did there?

I made it possible to have all the "stock" commands, and have made them in an innovative and intuitive manner ...with tactile feedback! (phone makers are now scratching their heads: why didnt i think of that)

** See for illustration

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BenF1:
3 Buttons wont be a problem. The international Galaxy S has 3 buttons, the menu and search button double up (long hole on the menu button for search). I think this is a great project. You just need to find someone with the skills!

Won't finding out how (if you can) get into the bootloader?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Kangal:
Thanks, yeah like I gave examples above all the hardware is there and its sexy as it is.

Just found a group that is porting Android to the Samsung Wave. They say they have found a way but its practically worthless since Android just boots and that's about it.

It's (DFG) here at:

http://darkforestgroup.com/area51/forum/index.php

and they're sister site/site where they inform stuff is at:

http://badaforums.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=114

... I think they are on the right track, they've disassembled it and the SGS and drawn up schematics/how the insides resides. As it turns out the Wave seems to be arranged slightly differently to the SGS, size constraints?

I think we NEED a dedicated page here on xda-developers, so those developers can easily ask questions to other developers and maybe there might be some developers that jump on the project, in which case, Android will be ported.

Trust me, we don't need anymore HTC Vogue roms, but this would be a lovely addition here (my fav tech site since 2005).

How can we get the moderators attention about this proposition? Do you vote for this for the front page news at XDA?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aLexzkter:
Yes, that would be a good idea...

I think the main problem here is that we're not being heard.

I still can't understand how such a great promising phone like Samsung Wave is, hasn't even got a specified place on this forum. I mean...come on guys! =P

Thanks...

im ready to donate $200 to get android on my wave, Bada SUCKS, its not even half baked, its like 1/8th baked, exchange support is absolute crap, nothing works properly and the performance sucks for the hardware (meaning its slow for being a 1GHz super phone)

its even better spec'd than the galaxy, the screen even though smaller, its the same resolution, the picture is WAY sharper and crisper than the galaxy.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gabib77:
ufff, I hoped someone will do it, but it seems it will be only a dream to have Android on Wave
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pchaubal89:
Can it be done this way??

ok im a noob and i dont know much but jtag (joint test action group) ports are ic debug ports for most of the embedded systems and are a IEEE standard.

Check wikipedia for jtag

Now if a galaxy s bootloader gets corrupted, there's no way the device is going to start. But using these jtag test ports we can flash the correct bootloader back onto the device. So at least the phone can be started for flashing the firmware.

Google for the riffbox method to flash the bootloader onto the galaxy s.

Similarly if the same unfortunate thing happens to a wave and its bootloader gets corrupted we can restore it directly without starting the device up.

Google the method to flash the bootloader onto the samsung wave using the riffbox.

Now along this train of thought if we flash the galaxy s bootloader instead of the wave bootloader into the wave using the jtag ports, the software shouldn't come to know the difference since the device will be powered down and the jtag ports provide unrestricted direct access to the internal memory of the device.

Basically:

1. Bootloaders can be loaded directly using the jtag ports.

2. If the bootloaders are in place there shouldnt be any problems for flashing the firmware.

3. If the device thinks its a galaxy s just because of a bootloader change, who are we to blame.

4. If the procedure fails, the correct bootloader can always be flashed back to the device.

Please can someone who has the riffbox try this and if it does work i just need a video as a proof of concept that it is possible.

I have posted this message in almost all forums and havent received any reply yet.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dentedilupo:
any website like apptracker but for the wave with free cracked aplications?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yalomed:
I GOT YOU MAN...

wow, you have a good idea... that solves the bootloader problem, but we just have to try first... pm me for any updates. i strongly belieave android can be ported to wave s8500... but what i really want to port to the wave is meego, a slightly lighter os than android but i think is a most promising one...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pchaubal89:
To port MeeGo we need a build for the Hummingbird and that too need to find all the drivers for the Wave. It is by no means an easy task. But since the i9000 has almost the same hardware (at least the parts that matter), porting Android should be easier. Since:

1. Hummingbird needs a 3 stage bootloader unlike other processors.

2. i9000 already has an Android bootloader for the Hummingbird.

3. Flashing the bootloader of the i9000 to the Wave is not a problem using the method I described earlier.

4. Android Debug Bridge identifies any device with an Android bootloader on it and can be used to flash Android onto any device with a fully functional Android bootloader.

5. I dont see any reason why the Android bootloader wont work.

I dont know why but I have posted this method everywhere and no one has responded yet. And ya, I do not have loose change to buy the RiffBox or I would have done it myself.

PS: I do not own a Samsung Wave, but I support the Open Source community and the Android community wholeheartedly. And the pricing and h/w specs of the Wave are too enticing to not think about porting Android to it. Especially after Android was ported to the Samsung Jet.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Basicrapper:
nice man, so what costs this riffbox?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pchaubal89:
The last time I checked it was 150$ on unlockcellular.com. But I dont think there's a need to buy it. Ask your local phone repair guys if they have one. Where I live they dont even know what JTAG is. :mad:

If anyone of you find a guy who can service your phone with the RiffBox, just get the i9000 bootloader flashed into it and then I believe you can use Odin to flash any firmware you want. Only problem though is that I dont think the i9000 builds will work for the wave properly. I mean that I feel it should at least try starting the f/w since the h/w of both is almost same but the key mapping and some other bugs will have to be smoothened out. I think more on that could be provided by some of the senior members of xda who actually have a lot of experience doing such stuff.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yalomed:
is the process in porting android into samsung jet the as that with the wave?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pchaubal89:
No. Or else it would have been done long back. BTW the Samsung Jet maybe a predecessor of the Wave but that does not mean that it is similar. The Wave is very different from the Jet mainly due to the processor. As i said before the Hummingbird needs a 3 stage bootloader unlike other processors. If anyone is interested in writing a custom bootloader, check out the Odroid's bootloader since it is open source and has the same processor.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pchaubal89:
Please try it out

the galaxy s firmware should run fine on the wave as long as key mappings are done right. but i dont think making calls will be possible since the galaxy s has an infineon baseband processor and the wave has a qualcomm baseband processor. if anyone out there has qualcomm drivers please try to port them. and yeah the application processors may have different names on both wave and galaxy s but since both are cortex a8 the build for galaxy s should work on the wave.

bootloader can be flashed using jtag pins.

anyone out there with a spare wave please try this out. and no there is absolutely no way u can brick ur device as long as u know exactly how to use the jtag pins that is with a RiffBox.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nel-a2:
this is good or bad?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pchaubal89:
I know but im just guessing that the difference of only one letter means that the processors are of the same architecture, families etc. Just as an intel core i7 970 and a core i7 960 can both run x86 os'es, the same should be true here. The family is the s5pc110 or commonly known as the hummingbird family and hence it should be safe to assume that a hummingbird build would run on the entire hummingbird family.

I dont know for sure but it would seem highly probable that the galaxy s firmware would work on the wave with a few tweaks.

I could've saved $400 off my plan if that project was successful, and I would've gladly donated $100 off that just like all the other people in this thread.

If someone else is brave enough to achieve this, the offer still stands (putting my money where my mouth is!)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JojoSK:
hey don't give up

There are thousands of people who'd switch to froyo or higher on their wave. for $20-50. and there are thousands of developers worldwide who could make it possible for a reasonable price. What about trying to get it going on the kickstarter web page ??

I am sure it's the only way around. It seems like the more phones there are on the market the lower percentage of them is worth an attention.

I hope some smart guys from India and Russia will find the way to collect money also for a right job. ;-)
