Does anyone know if we can use the same Windows apps on an Android device such as Hero?
Thx
No you can't.
Besides...that would be pointless.
Who cares about Android... the point is that some of use still love using windows apps in lieu of cheap and ugly android apps providing substitute functionalities in god's name by open source oses... I LOVE OFFICE I LOVE WINDOWS AND Hate having to use android on Samsung galaxy tab...
currently i am using samung wave.
the hardware is good, but i dont like the bada os.
does anyone know if there will be an android hack for wave? probably the galaxy s firmware
Nice Idea But i do not know yet
Good idea samsung wave with galaxy firmware, when, please
would also really appreciate such a firmware.
the hardware is so close to the GalaxyS, so it doesn't seem to be impossible ..
the hardware of this phone ist so great, the case is so good looking metal, and the display is the best beside the Galaxy S - it would really deserve a cool modding dev, that brings android to it.
If you can gain root and install a linux kernel, yes. However, looking at the work it's taking to install android on the hd2, with the highly customizable windows mobile OS, it's almost definitely not gonna happen with bada OS when there's a perfectly viable alternative (Galaxy S)
i buyed this phone yesterday. its perfect hardware for Android . i hope someone finds a solution to install android os on it soon.
Me three? Or four? Any devs interested?
If it had an official Samsung release of 2.2 froyo I would get the phone in a heartbeat. Pipedreams. Wouldn't mind the screen being just a tad bigger with less color saturation also.
Hi All,
Check out this thread as there is a lot of people wanting Android on the Samsung Wave and are will to donate to see it happen. Maybe post in that thread to show your support.
Ok turns out I cannot post links yet. So go to the thread 'samsung wave instead of galaxy s?'
If we have enough people will to donate maybe we can get the attention of someone like Cyanogenmod [dot][com]
We want Android on Samsung Wave!
Hi fellas.
I want this to happen too!!
IF YOU ARE ON FACEBOOK Then please join my page titled:
"We want Android on Samsung Wave!"
if you want Android on Samsung Wave!
Wave has everything on the hardware front, a Smart-phone lover's dream come true!! but It's the crippled software that bottle-necks what could truly be an Iphone killer!
So please Samsung..Do the right (and rational) thing!!
and unleash the Wave S8500 with Android support!!
this will turn your wave into a Killer Wave!! &
It will make you No.1 in smart-phone league!!
If you wanted android..why did you buy the samsung wave in the first place? you should have bought the galaxy S...
cause I want a good build phone with a flash.
I second NHS2008. I would also add that the Wave is 30% cheaper than the Samsung Galaxy S/i9000 and is basically the same phone with a smaller screen.
Android on the Samsung Wave would be fantastic!
Maybe u can donate me some money big mouth so that i can buy something better than the galaxy of course
hmm
.lol at last comment.
I have been seeing these posts all over the web for some time now with people wanting android on their WAVE fones.
I beleive it is possible, just no one has done it yet because the galaxy is around.
I am not just guessing, as i have ventured into the file system on my fone many times in the past.
The Galaxy, runs its 'root software' that then loads up Android, Making it an Android fone.
Want some good news ?
The wave is running this exact same 'root software'.
Most of the files are the same, the folder structures are the same. everything except the wave has different configuration files and of course the addition of the Bada platform and different hardware drivers.
Yep bada is nothing more than a platform, so to speak.
Think of it like this,
Lets pretend the old DOS is a 'root software'.
And windows v3 and windows 95 were both platforms (or GUI's, however u want to look at it).
Once upon a time, you would have a hard drive that would load into DOS, which you could then choose load your windows 3.1 (the old day, hehe).
Then came windows 95 that would startup and go straight into windows, right ?
Wrong.
Win95 also started up with Dos, then loaded windows 95. Just was dont in a way that same it look seemless (when it didn't BSOD on ya ).
A quick change to configuration files, and you could stop that win95 autoload feature, and it too would boot into the DOS it was actually starting with, giving you the option to run which ever windows you had on hand.
Now if your still following me
Both the Galaxy and the WAVE are starting up with the same 'DOS/root-software', then their config files are telling one to load the 'Android Platform/Windows v3', and the other is telling it to load the 'Bada Platform/Windows 95'.
Thats the best way i can think of putting it to explain it.
So the theory is, Remove the Bada files, And copy the android files on, and update the root-software's config files to point to the Android ones at startup.
Or even better, leave both file sets on there and create a startup menu that would allow the user to choose if they want to boot into Bada or Android.
Dont beleive me ?
Go ahead, compare the files and file structures for the 'root software' area's on both the galaxy and the wave. they are the same, because both fones start up the same, the main difference is the platform it tells the fone to load after startup, and the driver settings for each fones hardware.
I hope this has helped,
as i was getting tired of seeing people say android on the wave isn't possible and never will be because they're 2 totally different fones.
Feel much better now i've gotten that out.
lol

Click to expand...

Could you provide a little bit more information on how to do this. Programs needed and links on where to get them.
Sorry but I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to phones.
Thanks in advance.
i have S5333 wave too, still waitting to change w/ Android.
is posible to inject kernel via JTAG ..?
Hi everyone,
This is my first post in this forum.
I am an ASP.NET developer, normally using Visual Studio and C# for development.
I am trying to develop an Android program, for the first time and spending time for researching from scratch.
I know that the developing language is JAVA, and Eclipse is the tool to develop.
What I am trying to develop is an Android program, used in Galaxy Tab.
The program should open a camera, and the user could take a picture and store it on the harddrive.
Also this program should have some buttons, and when clicked the user could see different videos stored in the disk.
Opening the camera, clicking the buttons should be touch screen.
Does this program seems to be hard to develop? Any advice is welcome
Thanks in advance!
I have not the first bit of knowledge about developing/coding/anything else of that sort, so I am full of questions. Please pardon my lack of wisdom in terms of technical jargon or conversation.
In the Apple Store, there is a note-taking app called Notability. It acts as a PDF annotator, recording app, with the ability to connect with third-party apps such as Dropbox, Google Drive, Chrome, among others. I currently have an iPad, and I have found that this app is infinitely useful for school, but the iPad as a whole is not. There is no plain word processor, no USB capabilities, no mouse, and accessories are generally pretty expensive. In a few months, I want to make the move to either an Android or Windows tablet ( I have an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3 right now and love the Android operating system), but neither of them have any app on the market as good as Notability.
My question is this: is there any way that an Apple app could be put on to a tablet running on a different operating system, and if so, how would one go about doing it?
Hi - I'm a newbie and frankly knows next to nothing about Android app development. There are lots of great apps out there that would be great to use on the big screen via Android TV (the only device out there now is the Nexus Player), but unusable on Nexus Player because they requires either gesture or mouse. This leads me to think that there must be a relatively easy way to take the APK and update the code so that I can use the d-pad remote for the Nexus Player.
Can anyone point me the way?
Thanks!
Frank
Hello there, I'm also new to this website and as a newbie, I wanted also to gain some ideas or concepts that could enhance my skills and knowledge on web application, web designing, web development, mobile application and android. Hope to get along with you guys.. Thanks!
