Hi all,
I want to use android, but the wave has camera flash and the same hardware as the galaxy s. Will it be possible to port android to wave easily? And is it likely that someone will do that in the future, since I can't do it myself?
Thanks in advance
anyone can help?
I do not think android will be ported to Wave.
damnd
i too am curious if ther are any devs out there who might want to droid the wave.
gotta say, i did look at the s8500 (wave) and hardware specs totally confirm: i want it.
but i refuse bada. I want android.
Yes, the galaxy s is the other choice with nearly the same hardware... but the price!!
Samsung galaxy s: 499€
Samsung Wave : 305€
that is nearly 200€ extra for a phone with the same specs, no cam light and android.
i kinda refuse to pay that.
sorry samsung, you loose.
(ps: with 10% of the money saved on the wave we could maybe get a dev to do this? )
Me also
I would pay 10% of the money I saved, the galaxy s is to big

You think someone will spend 50+ hours to port android to Wave for 20 Euro?

is it pessimism or arrogance that makes you say that?
ehw, doesn't matter to me anyways.
considering i'm _not_ the only one who'd be ready to give a little cash for a port, there might very well be more than 20€ in it.
But as most of the people in this forum do this stuff for free, why the hell would 20€ and some definite fame (and love by me) not encourage someone to do it?
Aaaand who sais it will take 50+hrs? that is definitely plain pessimistic!
i dont mean to hurt any feelings or anything, but you really dont see any "android ports" that actually work... and if i hear someone use the word droid one more time without making referance to 1 of the 3 android phones verizon offers, im going to shoot myself.. back on topic though, andoid isnt about making it work were it shouldnt. its about making it work earlier than sprint verizon htc motorola etc etc want it working. ;]

umad?
'droid (yeah, i did it, please go ahead ) is an open source system pretty closely related to linux/unix afaik (might be wrong there, but what i seen from filestructure etc...)
sooo why do people install linux/unix on their coffeemaker, washing machine or mobile phone?
because they can!
...but if i'm wrong about the purpose of android related discussions on xda-devs and you Sir are correct about just beeing ahead of the game of vendors, i sincierly apologize and will go buy an iphone now. -.-
not.
Samsung Wave with Android
Hi Folks,
In a good month time I´m also in the line with a new phone.
I´m also currently in love with the Hardware and Size of the Samsung Wave but personaly don´t like the current SW status of Bada.
So if there is someone out there willing to port Android to it I´m also willing to sponsor my 10% as zerthrymr.
I believe there are quite a few people out there that might join so the programmer should break even soon with the time spend.

Those are just emulations. It isn't really Android running on the device.
Bada can do themes! I think the platform is good enough to code some cool theme for it. Anyways, i have a wave now and i didn't pay a single cent for it. Samsung just gave it to meee
Hi all!
I would like to join to sponsoring desire of porting Android to Samsung wave.
Very very like specification of this device
Just get a Galaxy S or something, instead of wasting your time trying to port an OS.
Dude not everyone likes the Galaxy S and the Wave has a one of a kind look. Its just posting to a forum, so I don't see much time being wasted. Samsung or HTC or whoever will come out with something new in a few months anyways so we don't have to settle for the Galaxy S, but in the meantime it doesn't hurt to ask for possible options for the only IMHO non-ugly smartphone.
ive got a galaxy and would even put 20 bucks on the porting android wave.
Count me in too! I will also donate to the creation of porting Android to the Samsung Wave.
i'll donate to have android on wave
Well looks like this aint gonna happen, which sucks. Anyone want to buy a cheap Samsung Wave? I'm going to go get a HTC Evo!
Hello Guys...
Just got the Samsung Wave - and I must say what a great little phone it is - shame about some of the software (like the customisation that local phone providers have done - really slows the phone down - even to the pointof crashing it because their applications are not stable - Take note T-mobile in the UK).
The Bada system is not that bad - still in its beginings - but it is an Open system running on a Linux kernal - and its on par with Android (ok not as popular), but still good.
Since both the Galaxy S and Wave are running the same hardware- it should be possible to flash the Wave with the Android firmware designed for the Galaxy. I have not delved inot this much -so any comments from experienced developers would be welcomed - but to be honest I don;t see a problem with loading the Galaxy S firmware onto the Wave.

Hi I have just brought a Samsung galaxy s which I really like but I have a 14 day return period and I am having some doubts.
Gingerbread has recently been announced and I am thinking that it is unlikely that the galaxy s will get an update what do you guys think?
When I had WM (touch pro 2) I could upgrade roms whenever a new device came out, I'm guessing this is more likely to happen with android on a htc device?
I suppose my question would be this, is there any devices which are being released within about a month which will be as good as my galaxy s but likely to last with good updates etc.
Sorry about my vauge questions I just dont wanna spend all this money on a phone to find support gets pulled at the first moment.
I don't think you should worry.
I haven't heard of any phones that will be confirmed to have 3.0 (Gingerbread) other then the obvious nexus one.
You will be able to download any custom rom that is written for Gingerbread. You don't really need the official update, do you? I know it is nice, but it shouldn't affect your decision of a phone.
Plus, from what I hear, the Galaxy S is pretty sweet.
samsung chairman has directed the mobile phone division to focus on the galaxy series so I wouldn't worry so much.

Honestly I don't think Gingerbread is aimed at phones at all. I think it's for netbooks and pads really.
Ok thanks guys, that's what I wanted to hear. I'll be keeping the SGS then
Anyone knows when SGS2 gets ICS ??
As far as i know, Samsung haven't given an ETA for that.
I'm eager to try it on my Galaxy W too. I hate the wait!
If you're that eager to turn your phone into a paperweight, may i suggest a hammer?
the official one is going to be late, I think
Hello everyone, so i know that this is mainly an android forum, but i wanted to see if anyone was interested.
Im probably going to get the Photon Q to replace my Franken Pre 2, just cuz I can live with android now that its matured a bit more since i played with it on my dads galaxy s 2 (god i hated pre 4.0 android lol).
I wanted to know if any developers would be interested in porting WebOS now that all the source code is available. Honestly i know there isnt a demand but I know there has to be a few WebOS fans out there that would love to see it on this phone.
Thoughts?
Thanks
open webos isnt even running good on the galaxy nexus. let alone for the s4 chipset

The port on the galaxy nexus is not running good yet because its in VERY EARLY alpha stages, as would this if someone decided to start it. I fully understand that a port is not going to come in a week or anything like that, its going to take a serious amount of time regardless what phone it is. But if nobody starts you cant finish
I'd be willing to test that. I loved webos.

Hey guys, I know it hasn't shipped out yet but I am thinking about getting the Samsung Galaxy s4 on Verizon and am wondering if anyone knows whether or not there will be an AOSP ROM for it. I currently have the Galaxy Nexus, and before that i had the first Droid so Touchwiz scares me! I have read a lot about there being so many different versions that the custom ROMs for this device might be lacking and now with the pure android version being released by Google it makes me even more worried that the Verizon folks are going to get left out of the pure Android experience on the Galaxy S4 - if that is the case I might have to pony up for the Note 2.
Even if its speculation I would love to hear your thoughts and I apologize if this has been addressed (I searched, I swear) or if I'm putting this in the wrong section
