My wave is coming tomorrow, but I'm already searching for customization. A new section dedicated to Bada OS would be great as I didn't find much information on the net about this new platform.
[Bada Software Development] mousezine:
Android on wave

I have got my wave s8500. it will will be cool to install android 2.2 on it. Has any one found how to remove samsung bada os and install android on it ?

anyway its a cool phone.
[Bada Software Development] VirtualVassi:
So, here is some people, which want section dedicated BadaOS. Please make it, because this page is the best support for phones in the internet. Samsung wants create more smartphones with BadaOS, so here should appear more interesed people this platform. If we will support BadaOS, I'm sure more people will choose with this platform because now it is new platform, and people worry about support of this.

I hope we will consider positively my request.

Sorry for my English.

ya ya even i need a section for bada OS....its a high end platform for games and applications so it would be great to hack it :D.
[Bada Software Development] erlern:
I would give a thumbs up for this suggestion :) Btw, where to go to get a Bada developer? Need to hire one if you are going to enter the competition :)
[Bada Software Development] psycoy:
my invitation to our agreement with a new section just for BADA OS ........ for my samsung gt-s8500 ....
[Bada Software Development] Zaikan:
Bada OS

I also support the idea of having an own section for bada :).

Samsung S8500 for the way :D.

[Bada Software Development] antz88c:
I'm writing something about BadaOS and Mac OS X compatibility but decided not to continue. It's just not mac friendly.

Don't get me wrong, I love my Samsung Wave, speed and screen, for its price, its already a good phone.

I bought it knowing that it will not work with MAC, I just hoped that there was at least Google wireless sync. Good thing I can easily fire up boot camp and use Windows, but...

Samsung Kies, is not that easy to use. Took me hours to make it work under Windows 7. All drivers installed but won't connect to Kies. The only way to make Kies detect the Wave is format the sdcard, then I'm good to go in synchronizing my contacts. Needed to export my contacts from Google then to Kies then to Wave.

Haven't tried my calender entries as I leave that to my HTC Desire.

So to those planning to get the wave, its a great phone as I said, super AMOLED, 1GHz, 720p video recording, great camera app to name a few, but....

Don't expect that it will work with your mac (even windows) out of the box.
[Bada Software Development] svetius:
So for now, we're not going to have a section for BadaOS or the Wave. Reasons:

1. There's only one device that supports it and we haven't heard from Samsung on whether there will be more

2. The development story is unknown

If either of the above changes, we'll certainly reconsider. We have to be selective when adding new devices to XDA because the site is already packed.
[Bada Software Development] Zaikan:
To 1.: Well, Samsung has announced two other bada-phones, they will be available in august... :)

[Bada Software Development] topdnbass:
if only it wasnt so BADa
[Bada Software Development] mahdyshr:
Samsung has announced two bada phone:

1.s5220 (wave 2)

2.s5330 (wave 2 pro)

both of them have bada and both coming in august so s8500 is not alone

And what do you mean by "The development story is unknown"?

Thanks
[Bada Software Development] virusx:
Hi

+1 for a Bada dedicated section.

Two more Bada phones should be out soon by Samsung and I think the root for development is in C++, which is more complicated than simple Java programing, but, from what I've red on it, really rock solid and fast.

I have to add that this forum is my n°1 source of information for my mobile and I'm waiting my Wave to arrive soon.

Have a good day :)
[Bada Software Development] lohpsch:
Bada

Sold my good old HD and have now a Samsung Wave.

Looking for themes, apps, android and other cooked ROMs.

Yes, a Bada Section would be great.:D
[Bada Software Development] -Htc-:
i have samsung wave and i hope it will be supported by xda
[Bada Software Development] MichaelPB:
I would also like to see some development besides the Samsung appstore. Cause it's fun!
[Bada Software Development] htc fan89:
I think it's pointless, since xda supposed to be a site that supports android and windows mobile. My opinion of bada is that it's crappy.
[Bada Software Development] daniel_costa_rj:
Why not Samsung BADA?

In my mind, XDA DEVELOPERS should be a forum to propose new solutions for

Users, why couldn't support the futures BADA users?

Come on, Samsung offer U$300,000 for the bests developers in apps for bada, XDA will lost this opportunity?
[Bada Software Development] EarlZ:
How is a 3 month old OS crappy, I guess you also had that feeling when andriod first came out right ?
[Bada Software Development] JimJam707:
XDA started out developing for Windows Mobile.

When android came out on the G1 I'm sure many XDA members wanted it to have a home here, and many didn't. The same is going to happen with bada. Whether it gets a forum here isn't down to me, but we should at least give bada a chance. Who knows, it might be badass :D
[Bada Software Development] I7redd:
Popular much?!

+1

Ahh, yes, only 1 device so far..

- #1 rated smartphone on GsmArena = 46k votes, 9.1 rating. (even without Android!)

- 1.75 million hits on GsmArena specs page. (~1 million a month)

- 8,500 user opinions on GsmArena. (the unofficial Bada/Wave forum??)

:p
[Bada Software Development] eric.s01:
How can u not Bada.....

Samsung is the biggest Electronics manufacturer in the world...There is no way they will allow it not to be a success!!!

Cmon guys and gals...Bada forum on XDA
[Bada Software Development] I7redd:
Crappy or not...

We certainly accept your opinion about XDA being a mainly Android centric forum.

However, one point of having a place for developers to discuss Bada on XDA might be to assist those same developers to also port Android onto some of Samsung's newest (hottest) phones.

A quick look at a Bada forum shows a thread called "Want Android On Your Samsung Wave?", which already has 25k views (400 replies) with mostly requests for Android on that phone.

So bringing Bada/Android cross-development to XDA could benefit all. ;)
[Bada Software Development] eric.s01:
agreed!

untill such time that Bada has grown to android stature :) this will be a very welcome idea.
[Bada Software Development] MacaronyMax:
If the wave is hacked :D (which will be helped by this section i might buy one just because of that :p :D and hopefully XDANDROID will get there magic to work on it :p :D
[Bada Software Development] MacaronyMax:
haha lol Nice one :p :D

let's give it a try

i mean why not?
[Bada Software Development] ligxuv:
Yes, Me too.

I Would like to have the place for bada phone at XDA.

Could you please give the bada section.
[Bada Software Development] Freezzby:
Hope to have a section on xda lol.

Bada it's amazing.
[Bada Software Development] mrpuffin:
don't think i'll get a bada phone but i support adding it to xda it might be the next android

side question is bada open sourced? or closed?
[Bada Software Development] Chainfire:
As far as I know it's closed... but that doesn't really matter that much IMHO. Look at Android, you get all the docs (+too little of source that I care about) but can't use it without jailbreaking, vs WM6 where you don't get those docs but can do anything if you figure out how. Both are "open" in some sense, though definitely neither deserves the title (then again, only one of those claims it ;))

Bada does use native code, though. Kernel-level code is difficult because officially Bada is not tied to a single "base" OS. Of course, that sort of code can't be run without jailbreaking anways.
[Bada Software Development] HerbertSchwytzer:
Give us a forum!

It would also be nice for me to see a bada section here soon.:D I think it will never be as big as android and so far it's only one company that uses it, but it will get bigger by the time... Do you think that another company will use bada OS one day?
[Bada Software Development] Chainfire:
LG has expressed interest in the past, but not sure what happened with that.
[Bada Software Development] qcn85:
Bada OS development in C + +, it is not attractive enough? sure for me...
[Bada Software Development] avatar_ro:
count me in :D

im using it from june and i hate because i dont have premium social hub

lets android it
[Bada Software Development] MacaronyMax:
I think it would be a good idea , and if it is open source I'm pretty sure buying a phone with windows mobile on it would be the best of all worlds :p tribooting ;)

I could learn that I can make upgrade in the samsung S8500 Wave?

More devices in bada

Dear svetius (user experience Admin)

Here you go, you said there is only one device then but now there are totally 5 devices. Bada OS is being aggressively dealt by Samsung with a clear focus, also refer below my posting elsewhere in a different thread....

It is not only me but many many others who are still surprised how come a thread is not open for Samsung Wave yet in xda-developers. Whilst it's ancient predecessors like Omia etc are present.

It is again not only me but many other are looking for the right forum for samsung wave but at the moment although there are lots of samsung wave forum can't really any worthwhile problems being handled like how xda-developers would have handled proactively with its talented chefs.

Just as a glimpse at the kind of wave this device is creating around the globe: Have a guess how many it sold in its first month? A million, yes. Now this is quite different. Bada is a new operating system. New operating systems don't sell a million in a month. Android did not sell a million in its first month, not even in its first quarter. The only other new smartphone OS that managed to sell a million in its first month was the iPhone in 2007. Now Bada is the next best new OS launch since the iPhone. But most people didn't hear about it. Many don't even know that Bada exists.

Well, much of that reason is that the Wave is a low cost smartphone and is aimed at Emerging World markets. It sold about 280,000 of those Wave phones in China. But that's more Wave phones in one month, than iPhones sold in the whole of second quarter in China - the second largest country for smartphone sales in the world, behind only the USA.

Therefore going by the above I would say if xda-developers opens up a forum for Wave, then I am sure this forum will attract even more users in line with the above strategy.

Please open a forum as I am also owning the phone.
[Bada Software Development] dgrouch:
Very well said sany. The Samsung Wave is pound for pound the best right now crippled not exactly by the OS but by Samsung itself. Althought they're addressing the issues little by little, its not catching up with the demand and interest at the right time.

+1 for Bada section. XDA is the best site for mobile info and I where to best see bada community grow larger than here. This site is the best source of info for WinMo and Android. Why not give bada a shot? Take a look at the Wave, it's sad to see such a great device not reach its full potential. I believe Bada deserves a shot.
[Bada Software Development] shigaugi:
GUI designer will design Wave apps and games for free!

Hello Bada developers (and Bada developers would-be's),

I have recently bought the Samsung Wave, and instantly fell in love with this wonder. The potential I see in it is enormous and yet so far away from being fulfilled.

The problem, as you may all know, is the lack of abundance of quality apps and games combined with the feeling that Samsung is not doing enough in that field, to say the least. I think the future of this marvelous handset lies solely in whether the developers' community will be able to show their confidence in it or not, and start inflating the app store with quality and useful content.

I would love to be part of this community. I am offering to share my talent and time free of charge in the GUI and UX aspects of any interesting project going on or planned to be.

A little bit about me and what I do:

I have been working in the interaction design field for more than 10 years, both as an independent designer and as a senior interactive designer at several leading design studios. I specialize in any form of interaction design, be it games, web, and GUI. I also like to think about concepts, do some UI wire-framing, and bring my knowledge in the fields of user interfaces and UX.

So, I guess this is it. Feel free to contact me. I would love to hear about this exciting new project of yours that the only thing that stands between it and being an amazing piece of software is the lack of a fine polished design :)

I would be more than glad to showcase my designs. Just drop me a line here: goartlab[at]gmail[dot]com

Why is there no Bada or S8500 section on XDA?
[Bada Software Development] psycoy:
devolper because there are few or are all already busy developing other platforms ...... that's why Samsung has announced to create a true forum platform with support devolper Mind ......
[Bada Software Development] Ceekay01:
SPB mobile shell 5.0 is coming to bada :D open a bada section
[Bada Software Development] sany:
Pathetic to see no response from devs

It is so pathetic that all our pleas are going unheard. Infact Samsung is coming up with new promotional activities to encourage developers but for some reason the dev community here are staying quiet.

Maybe the community lacs the capability to learn a new OS !? or is it some sort of ego that somebody here has some bitter experience with samsung themselves!?
[Bada Software Development] [FREEWAY]:
+1 for Bada section.

I'm really hoping that the Devs add this section soon.
[Bada Software Development] mrsato:
What's the point?

This is little more than another WebOS. No matter how good it is, it will die a slow painful death. Look, even a poster above says he already wants to put Android on his bada OS phone. If there was a forum that had anything to do with bada, I'd say it was for bada OS devices, not the OS, and focus on putting Android on it.

Personally I think it is idiotic for Samsung to waste resources on this OS. What are they thinking? Why fragment the smartphone world with another OS? Sometimes having more choices isn't a good thing. In this case some devs will have to choose which OS to develop for, or, cause them to have to develop for multiple OSes to reach their desired market capacity. I think the OS is cute, but what's that worth, when you can make Android look like anything you want? If they want to give people such an experience, they should do it by creating a launcher, such as SenseUI. Even that means spending a lot of money on keeping up with Android versions, and will undoubtedly just lead to customer frustration. Bad move Samsung.

And anyone to who buys these devices, I hope you did it for the novelty. Don't expect to be able to do everything Android does, or have anywhere close the the number of apps.
[Bada Software Development] mrsato:
LOL Seriously? First of all, you won't get anything positive from insulting. 2nd, of course they can learn a new OS. I suspect the reason is similar to my previous comment. It isn't like a new phone that can be added easily, so there's a "wait and see what happens" attitude among developers. It would mean a sizable investment in time to learn the OS, so a developer needs to be sure it is worth it. My personal opinion is that it is not, except as a curiosity for those who have no life/lots of free time. (who has that anymore!?)
[Bada Software Development] sabianadmin:
Agreed

I think that Bada has huge potential, potential which would be bolstered greatly by xda community interest (yep you guys have

that

much influence). What do the admins have the lose? ill even get them a good category photo of the s8500!
[Bada Software Development] sabianadmin:
google translate was clearly not your friend in this case. Thats something i noticed over on the (rather dreadful) bada forum, its an english forum but the majority of the people barley speak the language if at all. The result is incomprehensible gibberish everywhere. Not trolling, just noticed it and found it very tricky to answer questions and read through what should be relevant information. Just a heads up.
[Bada Software Development] lokhor:
Is there any progress with getting a Bada/Wave section on XDA?
[Bada Software Development] sabianadmin:
Yeah can we have a mod or admin shed some light? Bada has the potential to be as hacked with as Android or WebOS. Be nice to start that here.
[Bada Software Development] sabianadmin:
Ill even do all the ground work setting it up for you!!! :-) pleassseee
[Bada Software Development] Anderdroid:
Is it just me or do all these people with 1 or 2 posts that post about getting a BadaOS section are... The same person? Lol.

BadaOS.

A very BAD idea.

It needs to die off as fast as possible.

Samsung should stick it's resources to the platforms that are already available (and exploding).

As a developer it's hard enough having to think whether to make apps for iOS, Android, and WP7. Or all 3. Porting to a 4th? NO thanks.

There is already a smartphone OS for everyone. The strict yet "hot" Apple. The Microsoft WP7. The open Android. And... Blackberry, Symbian...

The question is, where does BadaOS come into play? Who wants to use BadaOS? People just want Samsung Waves running Android. Just get a Galaxy S.
[Bada Software Development] sabianadmin:
Your right sorry just egar to get it going. Well TBH Bada if open source would probably consume android very quickly, it doesn't rely on the lack luster speeds of java running in a VM, its built in C++ (which i quite like and allows for Qt interoperability) It has flash already, yonks before the rest. it boots very quick and 1.2 (which isn't released yet) has built in swype. It also comes with built in tethering and supports lower end devices than android would.

Now from this end of the stick thats all great but i remember when it was announced i big time face-palmed especially when samsung had there own Android devices. but the OS is solid and once its gets past 1.0 then it will start picking up pretty fast. I think with a little bit of support its will be better than android ever could be.

Whats stupid is the fact Samsung is support both Android and Bada on their devices. They are cannibalizing Wave sales when they should be investing into making Bada the best platform than it can be.

Even if we can get a Bada section can we at least get a Wave section so we can finally get at least a port of Android to this device?
[Bada Software Development] Product F(RED):
I hope nobody takes offense, but personally I think BadaOS is just a cheap Android knockoff. It's not going to be successful. How do I know? Because proprietary OS's aren't (aside from maybe iOS). iOS is different because it was the first really successful consumer OS to incorporate a ton of apps. Why would anyone buy a device with a Samsung-exclusive OS?
[Bada Software Development] sabianadmin:
No offense taken but i have used all the mobile platforms and Bada stands up well. I agree its unnecessary but samsung are sticking to their guns and supporting it thankfully, i own a wave and would love to have people here hacking around with the linux based OS is that so wrong?

I think its also great to see another OS on the market that is linux based and isnt Android or WebOS!
[Bada Software Development] Product F(RED):
I'll agree with that. Diversity is good. It's the reason Android has surpassed iOS. I think that an OS made by a non-manufacturer (ie Google) would be more successful. They should collaborate with other companies.
[Bada Software Development] sabianadmin:
Yeah thats something i never got, why they chose to close source the OS. All they would have to do is make the best range of Bada phones on the market and the Open source Bada would be improved and enhanced by the community just like android was at no cost to samsung!

The nexus one was arguably one of the best and most well know android device released this year. And google was responsible for that. and now the galaxy S rules the roost with android so why cant they do that with bada?!
[Bada Software Development] tids2k:
very well said.
[Bada Software Development] sabianadmin:
I would agree that the platform is fairly pointless considering android exists and ships on other samsung devices but if we at least had some section for the wave we could work on porting android to the Wave and Wave II (same phone but the Wave II has a 3.7 SLCD vs the Wave I's 3.3 SAMOLED) or the creation of custom bada roms for the Wave. They are great devices and yes Bada is a little pointless as is but its exists so why not knock a bit of craic out of it?
[Bada Software Development] Anderdroid:
Because there are tons of forum sections already. There isn't enough real demand for a Samsung Wave forum. Why not just make your own forum for it? Or find an already existing one? I doubt Samsung Wave will ever have a home here, unless tons of people suddenly want it. And no, not brand new duplicate users with 1-2 posts.
[Bada Software Development] sabianadmin:
I have 70 posts, how the f*ck am i brand new?
[Bada Software Development] Product F(RED):
Nobody's hating on Bada. But it seems like, at least to me, it's an attempt by Samsung to make an Android clone. And I'm not even talking about the Touchwiz interface (which existed before Android and is an iOS interface clone). Besides, maybe with the exception of Apple, an OS tied to a single manufacturer is most likely not going to do well. You can't measure an OS's success by how many fans it has. There are Bada forums all over, but look at the sales and number of phones being activated. Nowhere near Android.
[Bada Software Development] sabianadmin:
True, but this device alone has sold over a million units. Thats pretty good considering Samsung have sold in total 3 million smart phones! Bada is not going away thanks to this. It exists and there is no point ignoring it. The wave with bada is quicker than the Galaxy S with Android without any modification of any sort. Imagine the level of performance that you could get out of a bada device if it was tweaks and hacked like android has been?
[Bada Software Development] :
i just registered & this is my first post.i previously owned a nokia 6300 & now i have a samsung S8500 Wave...i researched a lot before buying the wave & after much thought, bought it for its superb hardware, amazing display & a pretty new but decent OS. Bada has all the potential to be a great OS but its growth is limited by samsung's laziness & the lack of support from the developer community.there are already 5 phones (Wave 525, wave 533, wave 723, wave S8500 & wave II S8530)that run bada OS.the original samsung wave sold more than a million units within 4 weeks of its release & the number of users has been increasing ever since.its still the highest rated phone on GSMarena.

you can't just ignore guys like us with one or two posts.we'd have a lot more if there was already a section on badaOS. So, please consider creating a separate section for it.there's a chance that it may be the next big thing if it receives proper support.
