[Bada Software Development] v1rtu4l:
in essence Bada is neither a iOS clone nor an Android clone, but the user interface tries to take the best of both which is not bad per se. Just look how "trying to re-invent the wheel" worked out for WebOS! Of course Bada has not such big figures like Android, but this is simply down to the fact that it is new & limited to samsung devices. i have no hard numbers, but i bet the wave itself did sell better then the first android device (wasn't it the HTC dream nown as T-Mobile G1 in germany).

i just checked the version history and am surprised by the "youth" of android itself. comparing the version changelogs i'd say the first released version of bada is even better in terms of overall functionality than android 2.1 and that says something, doesn't it ? it's clear that bada has to be better than android in some user scenarios in order to gain some market share and it does pretty well.

the argument about "an OS tied to one manufacturer does not work", i would like to add, that Bada will be licensed to other manufacturers, but samsung clearly things that its more important to strengthen bada by developing it further and making it competitive before allowing some low-cost companies like LG or others making bad handsets with bada and thus destroying the bada reputation. i think samsung are withholding the wave from the united states because they want to make it more competitive before releasing it in the US market to prevent a premature childs death
[Bada Software Development] pao9195:
please count me in...we are hoping that there are some public developers willing to develop or make a custom ROM for Bada :)
[Bada Software Development] Anderdroid:
It probably won't ever see US. It probably won't have a future release either. It's an offbrand smart phone, and that's all it is.

Also I'm sorry you like to bias and assume everyone here is an Android fanboy. I happen to think WP7 is gorgeous, have owned a Touch Pro 2 on WinMo 6.5, and own an iPad and an iPod Touch. All of these are the prime, thriving operating systems. Bada OS is way too small to get a section here. Either way, you're simply asking for developers to work on it for you. If someone wants to port Android they will. And you'll hear about it. Don't need a forum section for that.

Also the G1 came out when the smartphone market itself was premature, so it's not too surprising that Bada OS outsold it initially. You're forgetting about the many other Android phones that came out right after. Lol. Like the Droid?

+1 for Support!!
[Bada Software Development] dave il barbaro:
you have my support!
[Bada Software Development] sabianadmin:
Funny you might say that because the wave 2 is literally days away from shipping to consumers, also Bada 1.2 will be released at the end of this month and 2.0 is already in the works. The samsung roadmap also indicates a further 10 phones running Bada next year and the Samsung app catalog has taken off somewhat in the last few weeks with applications like angry birds coming to the platform and almost every gamesloft title already available as well as apps like Radio time's tune in and more. Further more Bada already ships with flash and the initial release (1.0) came with data tethering and 1.2 comes with T9 Trace (swype) also. Sounds a dam site better than Android 1.0 was.

Id also like to add that if you go back 4 years, almost every carrier had there own mobile platform and now everyone is just riding the Android wave (scuse the pun). I dont remember hearing people *****ing about "ooohhh there are two many different mobile platforms, why cant every one just use windows mobile?!" if everyone had backed win mo i would have shot myself years ago. Diversification breeds innovation. If you want to be a blind fan boy (be that a windows phone 7 fan boy and android one your still just a fan boy) and ignore that point you can. But try to keep your backward ****e spouting off public forums.
[Bada Software Development] racht:
There're enough Bada forums on samsung's website, why would we need another one ?

Also, if u want to create apps for a platform nobody uses, just go ahead and create them.

I believe nobody else will be interested ..

So clearly -1 from me, we don't want any bada here.
[Bada Software Development] sabianadmin:
Bada has 1 million plus user. Nice bit of speculation there dumbass, now get the hell off this thread before you embarrass yourself even more.

Please no.

beware of this new ocean ;)

bada thread please :)
[Bada Software Development] svetius:
It's pretty clear that there is a lot of interest for a Bada forum here. Should it be device-specific? Perhaps the Wave II would be a good start? Or go with the Wave?
[Bada Software Development] golokipok:
I guess start first with the Wave as it's the initial Bada device
[Bada Software Development] luciferps:
thanx for showing concern

wave and wave 2

they are almost of similar category

dont forget the small bomb

wave 2

samsung s525

and when will the admins are announcing the establishment of the section BADASS BADA:D
[Bada Software Development] :
thanx a lot for showing your interest.

S8500 Wave & S8530 Wave II (not the same as wave 2) are identical in hardware.the only difference is the screen size, the Wave has 3.3" screen & the Wave II has 3.7", but the resolution on both is 480 x 800. Wave II has bada 1.2 fw preinstalled. Wave came with bada 1.0 & the most recent update is 1.0.2...although a lot of users run bada the unofficial leaked bada 1.2. it is scheduled to get officially updated to 1.2 in the 1st quarter of 2011 & will most likely be getting a bada 2.0 update. The S8530 will get it too.

then there are the smaller models- Samsung S5250 Wave525(also known as wave 2) & Samsung S5330 Wave533 are similar in all aspects but wave533 has a physical QWERTY.

& lastly, there's Samsung Wave S7230 Wave723 which is similar to the above 2 except for a 5mp camera.

You can start with the original Wave but two sections- one for the larger models & one for the smaller models would be perfect.
[Bada Software Development] sabianadmin:
Millions of people own bada devices, thank you for considering a Bada section. Bada is both the OS with the most potential and the OS which has been least touched. Let the hacking commence, if any one needs any utilities or advice for the future hacks then do pm me. Id be happy to help.
[Bada Software Development] sabianadmin:
Of course he also meant to put in please and thank you :-) if your confused by the different devices just trow together a unified Bada section and then sub forums can be built from there, which ever suits best.

Cheers guys
[Bada Software Development] vivekforbes:
Need New Section

bada is really growing big and i am sure it will become a big community soon. Also samsung plan to release more bada devices in 2011. So why not give the chance to bada. it would be really great if we have forum section for bada devices in great XDA. It's good to start with wave..

Thanks in advance..
[Bada Software Development] Product F(RED):
Here's why I think Bada will not succeed, and this is a realistic aspect. Samsung is a big company, however it doesn't make anything compelling to consumers. Apple is another company that makes an OS that is tied to a single device (I'm comparing it to Bada OS), or rather single line of devices that it itself manufactures. It's a brand that's well known and is strong. It puts out ads that draw attention and products that actually differentiate themselves from the crowd (I still think Apple products are way overpriced and overhyped though). What does Samsung make apart from cellphones that draws consumer attention? Televisions and DVD/Blu-ray players? Granted, their marketshare is much bigger in Asia, but still.

Google is also a strong brand. It's a company that handles search, maps, email, video, and whole lot of things that are used by billions of people every single day. The average person doesn't associate Google and Android. They just know it's an OS that has a lot of apps and generally comes on a phones that are [usually] cheaper than the iPhone and are available on just about every network. But this isn't about Android, right? It's about Bada. If Google could make an OS that's taking over the world (actually, they bought the company that made it), then why can't Samsung do it with Bada? Because, while Google has nothing to lose by releasing Android to manufacturers, Samsung does. They're just wasting money and digging themselves a financial hole.

Look at it like this. You're Google. You have an OS. You don't manufacture hardware (in this case, phones). You just have an OS. So what do you do? You release it so that manufacturers can build phones with your OS. Now pretend you're Samsung. You have an OS. But you also manufacture phones. Well, you're making money off those phones, so what happens if you release the OS to other manufacturers (with a licensing fee) and their phones sell better than yours? Well 1) You can't just revoke their rights to use your OS. It's probably in a contract you made them sign, plus they paid and 2) Negative publicity. So you're double-screwed and are doomed to lose money. On the other hand, if you DON'T open up your OS to other manufacturers, unless you have strong brand recognition like Apple (which many companies don't), you're phones aren't going to sell.

I'm not saying the OS is crap, at all. But maybe if they collaborated with other manufacturers and companies, they wouldn't have to label it as their "own" OS.
[Bada Software Development] zookarma:
+1 for Bada Section :-)

We must have options, if we dont they " monopolyze us " :-) So make them compete
[Bada Software Development] sabianadmin:
Ok fair point, but this isn't samsung looking for a bada section here, its bada's users. WinMo 6 is dead in as far as Microsoft is concerned and has been superseded by Win Phone 7; yet the community here for win mo remains very strong. Bada, weather it fails or not, exists in the here and now. People have it on their devices (could also spread to the for-mentioned bluray and tv sets) . So whats so wrong with wanting to 'up the hack ability' of these devices?

At the very least a forum section here could lead to a working Android Port for the Wave and Wave II (ala the HD2)

XDA has brought so much to the other platforms across the years, all i ask is that bada and its users be given that same chance.

Cheers.

EDIT: As for your comments on digging them selfs into a hole financially. I am not so sure. They havent put that much money into Bada, and they could buy 10000 bugatti vayrons and wrap them around a tree each and every one and still be financially sound :-) i dont think trowing bada to other manufacturers will cost them that much, just up the interest in there brand. The trick is to make the best Bada devices as they do with Android and then they have it down.
[Bada Software Development] thakur90:
now i just have one thing to say..we have come to xda with a request and it is simple enough that pls start a section bada.... we arent telling u guys to stop android and concentrate fully on bada...we believe that u have enough resources and talent to hack around this os and in turn help it grow... so i dont see any reason why anyone here should be fuming about the support for bada.... could u have said this for android years back when it was launched.. it got its due support... just asking u ppl here at xda to extend ur support towards bada... not being rude but just getting irritated by the response of certain users here.. we believe u have the talent and hence respecting that we have placed a request.... there are a million and growing wave owners... nothing compared to android or apple but still its not small... samsung said that they will touch the 10 million mark by next year which i believe they will... so imagine that many users added to xda community... u should be more than willing to do this... so please without much further ado.. pls get the ball rolling...
[Bada Software Development] sabianadmin:
ah its expected, we are intruding on there territory after all, until we convince them we are here to contribute and not change things in any way we are bound to get negative comments, there are also a few pricks here who will just troll and they are to be ignored :-)
[Bada Software Development] sabianadmin:
So there you have it, people are pouring interest into a Bada section here. Whats the next step for getting it started?

Thanks.
[Bada Software Development] luciferps:
what more u want administrators..cmon now tell us what u think

please have a bada section in ur esteemed forum..

thanx

Too bad we don't see the Wave here in the States.
[Bada Software Development] shigaugi:
Bada deserves the recognition

Bada is here to stay, and estimated to evolve and grow in 2011.

Samsung sells a big chunk of bada phones, thus drawing developers towards it's platform.

1+1 = xda-developers needs a seperate bada section.
[Bada Software Development] luciferps:
dying to see bada here..

administrators 11 pages still no conclusion

:confused:

a humble request add bada to your family :)

W8N..................
[Bada Software Development] nantax:
Would like to added to the list. :D

We need more guys that can develop and hack stuff for this phone.
[Bada Software Development] kkutsarov:
Count me in too i would love to see bada growing its really awesome OS and the hardware that comes from samsung is great especially for the price :). Anyways i would love to see bada custom roms especially that bada 2.0 is coming 1st quarter i can't wait to see a custom rom with bada 2.0 that would really rock hard :). Regards to all supporters :).
[Bada Software Development] :
bada is good platform :)

We love it and we want to see a bada section on XDA

pls
[Bada Software Development] sabianadmin:
id imagine the process of approval for something like this takes a bit of time, but it would be nice to know if they are considering it or not.
[Bada Software Development] svetius:
XDA getting a Bada section tomorrow. Tell your friends =D
[Bada Software Development] sabianadmin:
This i will do. thank you so much.

we respect you all,,

Looking forward for this gr8 community

WELCOME BADA BADASS:D
[Bada Software Development] :
thanx a lot...can't wait to see it started.
[Bada Software Development] svetius:
Welcome to the new Bada OS section!
[Bada Software Development] aLexzkter:
Thanks given...

These are great news, I hope the developers realize soon how interesting the Samsung Wave is in terms of hacking, porting and stuff.

Come on!, can't you unlock that Wave's bootloader? Make it your own challenge!:D

I'll tell me friends by the way.

Happy New Year!

P.S I forgot to mention that there are lots of people (like possibly one thousand or more) whiling to donate just to see some interest paid to Samsung Wave... just for the record hehe...
[Bada Software Development] :
this is like the best new years gift ever....i can't thank you enough..

[Bada Software Development] virusx:
Many thanks for this Bada section, this OS (and phones) deserved to have a section in your forum (the best in phone knowledge IMHO).
[Bada Software Development] goofyog:
I must agree with you it' s to early for bada to become a member of this forum, there are no projects no software no applications nothing that define this forum. But still bada wont fall, it's very gut business for samsung to have their own platform with their market, and the phones sells pretty nice, they are more frequently updated then android ever was (3 updates in 3 mounts) so it s pretty solid platform.
[Bada Software Development] sabianadmin:
I call troll. can a mod kick this guy out of the section or at least delete his posts? Bada is a great OS for the record. people just want options.
[Bada Software Development] smokestack76:
Lets chill out guys. If you dont have anything helpfull to say lets not say anything. Thread is a little cleaner now.
[Bada Software Development] KrazyKong:
Quick question here for the Mods...

It seems there some overlapping of the two Bada forum sections. Is it possible to maybe rename one or both, to be more reflective of what the intention is for them?

Or create new sections, like one called Apps/Games, the other called Firmware/Updating/Modding etc, and then a general Bada one or something. Just a suggestion as it's somewhat confusing where to post sometimes between the two.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Swiftwork:
Darn placed in the wrong forum. Could a admin move it to Themes and apps?

Here is a new navigation bar requested by Coedy over at Cronosproject.org! I have created multiple themes and I wanted to share my semi transparent stock theme. Keep your eyes open for more releases! ;)

Not sure if this was already known, but Qualcomm released an open source driver for the Snapdragon GPU. Figured this might help the developers:

Oh sweet. Could lead to Ubuntu Mobile Edition on EVO. That'd be kick ass.

[EVO 4G Android Development] nenn:
this is awesome, i wish there was a whitepaper to read!

good luck devs.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
Yeah I wish there was Snapdragon whitepaper too :(

I REALLY doubt the cap is in the GPU code. It could be, but it's unlikely.

And its also funny how when I have my thread about overclocking the GPU, seemingly no one cared, and yet people post something that may not even be new (it looks like the same code we have now, but I'll check it out more) people jump all over it.

EDIT: It's definitely different. And it looks like the overclock may be possible now, but that'll take some more time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Neotelos_com:
This is really f**king awesome!

This was one of the complaints with the Evo, that it doesn't have a proper GPU driver. Not to mention I believe when Qualcomm bought out ATI was when their desktop drivers were complete crap - if much hasn't been updated, this could lead to some extreme performance increases.

Regardless, this is nothing but good! :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] 063_XOBX:
Sorry if this is a stupid question but what exactly will this mean for the end user? Better gaming? Faster overall performance?

[EVO 4G Android Development] theillustratedlife:
Ummm, didn't AMD buy ATI?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Holyrolla:
Apparently, not that particular division. It was sold to Qualcomm.
[EVO 4G Android Development] pseudoremora:
Desktop and computer graphics division is now owned by AMD, but the handheld/mobile devices division was sold to Qualcomm in 2008.
[EVO 4G Android Development] frettfreak:
OMG! THIS IS GONNA BE GOOOOOOOOD!!!

With the amazing devs that are coding for the Evo.. its ON!!

BRAVO to qualcomm! I am going to take this as a sign that they see what is going on with other manufacturers (like they are getting spanked with regards to performance of their chipsets) and they want to see what the community can do!!

THAT is why i love ANDROID!!! :cool:
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kykiskly:
This is nice, although this will not help the GPU Devs with the frame cap. The EVO,Droid Incredible, and N1 all hold the same GPU processor, a Adreno 200. :(
