[DEV] The project to port Android(froyo) on S8500 (8530)

Rebellos · Oct 20, 2011

Got sourcecode? Would be good to have that. I bet Bada is based on similiar kernel, so always easier to disassemble and omit useless code quickly.

Nowhere. It is strictly under-development project. And it is not possible to run Android under S8530. Don't bother yourself in trying until step-by-step tutorial appears. I expect to get partially working (no modem support yet) S8530 GB port in few weeks.

Unless you know what is IDA, Embedded Systems, RTOS, Pointers, Memory Pointers, Kernel Drivers and know how to develop it, or you think you are brillant enough and got few hundreds of hours to learn that. Catch me on PM then.

does the wave use a qualcomm modem?

since rebellos has opened up his wave 8530, can you see rebellos what the modem chip is labelled as?

DarkRidder · Oct 23, 2011

What about GB for S8500?

I saw in a post that Oleg has a partially functioning modem on his CM7 GB, doesn't he?

Thats great! It would be so nice if you would work on with this project again!
But I think its better to finish this Modem driver first (and then the Port for the s8530), because I think thats the reason many of us are not using this Android port. In my opinion it makes no sence to make an android to S8530 without an modem driver now, because no one would use it as well. I think also that many people would use this Port with many bugs but with an working modem driver. I am following this project since March and nearly everyday I take a look at this thread to see if there is some usefull information and now its great to see that there is some hope. I wish u good luck and I hope that you can do it though Oleg cant/doesnt want to work on this project anymore (

). (I know that I dont know something about programming and all this stuff and I can imagine how hard it is to do something like that, so pls dont flame me and say "If you think its so easy then do it yourself", I just wanted to say my opinion and to wish you good luck and to encourage you

The thing is that I do have S8530 and I do have motivate myself abit. As I haven't seen Android on my device yet. xD

//edit: Oleg does still work on the port. But does it much slower than before. But I still think the work he has done before is compensing it.

Also I'm back in analysing bada modem drivers, thanks to b.kubica.

Thanks to u guys who are working for bada so much....and making it a better place for users .hope this process ends up in a reality soon...as we are bored of bada.

sikodemon · Oct 25, 2011

I swear, once radio and modem have been sorted this topic will be storming with people, and I'll be one of the first.

adfree · Oct 25, 2011

...will be storming...

Nice would be, if more people would help to finish this project...
More helping hands should storming...

Maybe joke...
