I figured I may as well make a topic for this.
The main purpose today, is to find developers to help with the development of the Android - Wave/Bada port.
Specifically there is development needed for kernel drivers, for the modem, battery sensor etc. However, current developers are not capable of doing this work themselves and need help.
I've tried my hardest to get as far as possible as far as this search is concerned and am still trying to find people to help but I feel a little alone looking all on my own and I'd love some help, since I'm not even a developer at all and I don't really understand what all the technology speak is about!
I'm going to use this topic as a resource bank, for all the links, all the people I find, all the tutorials to try and help etc.

Info from Rebellos:
"We need someone familiar with low level Linux and/or ARM development, or has got open brain and alot of time to learn it. What is needed is to bring GB or newer ARMLinux (Android) kernel drivers to work basing on Samsung I9000/M110/M120/M130K and similiar kernel sources. UART port+UART JIG are pretty mandatory for this work, and of course S8500/S8530 phone."
"Someone with deep known about linux on low level would be very useful aswell. As I just got near zero experience and knowledge with linux and got stuck for example when tried to mount MMC interfaces in GB kernel, abandoned it after few hours of tries. I believe dev with enough know-how knowledge would know how to do it in few minutes."

The above are the first few sources I've found. I have not contacted any of these sites yet, neither do I really know what they actually provide specifically. I'm quite tired as of now and am going to do so later.
Please, anyone who can help me look and has the time do so. Say here you're going to help in this topic or PM me.
Long live the Wave!
This guy needs a free beer for getting this post started ....Cheers Razyre...
Here's the same text in French as the phone is a _lot_ more popular there :
Le but actuel est de trouver des développeurs Android pour nous aider à porter Android à la Samsung Wave.
Pour être plus précis l'équipe actuelle ont réussi de faire fonctionner Android 2.2 mais que partiellement. Nous avons donc besoin d'aide pour faire fonctionner le modem (GSM/UMTS) et les capteurs comme l'alimentation (détection d'état des piles) et GPS.
Razyre à déjà commence la recherche mais il peine a trouver car ce travail est difficile et à présent il se sent un peu seul. Il rajout même qu'il n'est pas développer et il aveu d'entre un peu dépasse lors ce qu'on parle plus technique...
Ce topique est donc une ressource pour tous liens trouvés... Si vous avez des pistes ca nous intéresse et si besoin je vais traduire en anglais pour que tout le monde puisse en profite.
Cordialement, Duxxyuk (un Anglais qui habite @ Lyon)

"Nous avons besoin de quelqu’un qui est à l'aise avec la fabrication des pilotes ARM Linux Android (la téléphone est très similaire à la Galaxy S i9000 avec un puce modem différente). Bien sûr la personne doit être propriétaire d'un Samsung Wave (GT-S8500) ou Wave 2 et de plus il doit avoir l'interface UART Port+JIG (je crois que c'est du JTAG)"
Thanks for this thread, I'm also looking for help by myself and found some on kernelnewbies.org IRC (I'm literally kernel newbie ), so got touchscreen driver working in GB - it's the easiest one, as it's almost identical to SGS driver, but still happy to see ANYTHING fully working (appears so) in my port from scratch xD

Nice job Rebellos xD
So what port is this? 2.3, 2.2? Do you think you can get much out of this site? And do you have access to the old port still?
Please answer my questions if you can, I'm really interested in the porting progress ^^
Good luck for you I hope you will find the right person ( the chosen one ).I wish (really wish) that i could help you but knowledge is 0
It's 2.3 port, doing it from scratch. Like nothing is working for now, and I'm working on it like once per 2 weeks, people from kernelnewbies.org are kinda helpful against my noobie questions.
I've got 2.2 port sources, and I'm using them to compare init sequences, GPIOs and so on.

Cool, keep going man!
I bet you wish you had my time to do it! I have virtually 4 hours a day free (Still being at school, exams are a while off yet). I just think this is too complicated for me to begin to learn and I don't fancy ripping my phone apart lol.
Double post please delete.
Rebellos,
maybe this will help a bit (even though it's still the old kernel): I did a diff some time ago against the original i9000 sources. This is the list of the files that had been changed by Oleg.

Thanks, been using diff done by nbates for me. It's helpful.
Now I connected my forces with guy from JetDroid, it has got basically the same AP-CP protocol. We've got first 2 packets from CP, though it's all very tough todo. The protocol they're using in bada differs alot more from Android's Samsung Virtual Net as I supposed. Only general concept is the same, but driver has to be written from scratch, then packet handlers have to come, which means writing RIL almost from scratch - using reference vendor RIL provided by Google.
So much for modem driver - now I've got precise information, and with every day they're becoming even more precise and detailed. Still need someone who brings the rest of drivers alive. Too bad day is limited to 24 hours only, and making documentation for modem is very time expensive process. :<

Devs I message either don't respond or reply but don't have the skills D;
I just want to add how much I'm hoping you guys find a dev to help code the missing pieces. There are so many people who had great hopes for the Wave and the Bada experience slowly see it fade to nothing. Android is the last great hope for the Wave phones, unless Bada 2.0 brings some sort of Android app emulator or something.
Other than that, time is just too precious. Waiting over a year for Angry Birds and Skype, what to speak of all the other cool and important things people on iOS and Android take for granted, that we will never get sucks. That's now 2 phone os's in a row I've had, the first being the LG S-Class that I've taken a gamble on. Like it or hate it, but it's either iOS or Android from here on out. Bada was simply too badly managed and beyond repair at this point. No new apps for several months, not a single big app company releasing anything for eons.
So don't give up guys. I hope the search is successful in finding a dev to join the team. And I hope a fully working port is made. I also hope if this ever happens, you guys put up a paypal donation thing so all the grateful people such as myself can give you a little something to makeup for all the countless hours spent.
2012 is our year guys. It's either Android on the Wave, or an iOS / Android handset for real.

Bada 2.0 is actually a pretty good OS. Minus being open source with mods and of course apps, it'd be a bloody good OS.
My hope is that Bada either becomes open source or we get an app emulator. Either would be awesome and would save me getting a new phone sooner.
myself i'm getting rather annoyed with bada, what was with them having fruit ninja on their store for a a while and then REMOVING it? 0.o
infact, whats with so many good apps dissappearing from their store?
There's an undeniable truth that not many famous developers are interested in Bada, so as long as topics like this still remain, I will follow and try to keep it alive.
Btw, which is more simple, porting Android to Bada or writing an Android Emulator for Bada ?
Finaly preferred make donation for our team who works to many time.

I honestly didn't notice... That kinda sucks. Unfortunately I lost all of my apps in switching to 2.0/Android and didn't back up. I can use android for apps, mind and there are some still on Bada.
Either way, getting this project properly on the road will be a step in the right direction. I mean, give me 3G and Accelerometer support and I'll use this SO much more.

Yes I just don`t get it too. Even the facebook app had been removed some weeks ago. It`s Samsung`s biggest problem right now that they don`t have enough apps and what do they do? They even remove important apps like facebook etc. so that`s the reason for me that I really hope that you guys will have success with the Android port...
I will donate soon as I have financial problems right now due to christmas and so on.
Does anyone know someone I could contact or knows personally at Cyanogenmod?
Someone said that maybe I should contact them, via PM and I didn't think it was a bad idea.

New team coming to town (larsa). We will create a new ROM (ANTI-AP-LARSA).
WM 6.1 OS from the new advantage 7510 will be the based on. So you don't have to wait for the AP team to release their ROM next year.
Screenshots will be released this weekend.
We're also converting a cube for 96dpi use.
wow youre brave... but im sure the rom will be here by next wednesday... so not long to make it

Damn, youve nicked my idea, my wife is a degree qualified software engineer, and after me persuading her to help me, she is looking into creating a rom to my specifications that i was also going to see if i could release before the AP team, No disrespect to them, but its taking way too long with not enough information on whats going on, i think they have taken on too many other projects like the shift and others, and the ameo has taken a back seat now
Hi,
Is this a clean ROM, or with pre-installed programs?
Will you really make a 96dpi cube? Nice...
We are waiting for the screens!!!

1. The cube will be working ONLY on 96dpi.
2. The rom will contain the HTC utils, like home, manilla, etc. Also i added podarilla and some other free apps.
Podarilla is the second version of my unrealesed application called arxidila (from an ancient greek word), and it's a special gift for here.

You can release your ROM too. Like the other pda threads, (artemis for example) there are a few ROMs to choose the most suitable for you. So here why we have to be depended on AP team???? AP 3 was very good, but anti-AP will be better!!!!
sweet more roms the better, about time tired of only having four roms. if you need a beta tester let me know
I like the progress status in your sig

I was hoping that snapvue will be tweaked to run better and not a memory hog that it is right now. Sort of a merge between snapvue and htc home. Alas, the AP team will only be using htc home + I think manila(this is where I live, Manila, Philippines.) If you can tweak the UI to something like snapvue and ilauncher/clauncher or htc home comebined into 1, I would most appreciate it.
The management (and the market) lesson is: the SECOND (and sometime the third) will WIN

Second? After the one created at PARC? After WIMP on the Atari 520? Which was first if Windows was second?
So now we have 2 (or possibly 3) unreleased ROM's. Maybe I should say I'm going to release one.....
No problems with more ROMs but I love what the AP team have done so far - you guys have a lot to beat and we ain't seen nothing from you yet.
Good luck!
Haha.....
The AP ROM will be German, when everything works ok.
Will your ROm be german?
When not, why its better?

Have you seen "the pirates of the silicon valley" movie? MAC was a XEROX clone, and WINDOWS 1.0 was a MAC clone.
Symbian is a .... clone and WM is a xxxxx clone, AP ROM is after HTC ROM, and BEFORE... and.... endless history.
The lesson learned is: EVOLUTION , be always the SECOND to someone (or to yourself FIRST release), and you will win. Never sit down, proud to be THE FIRST or THE ONE!
We are just kidding here!

Anti-Anti-AP ROM Platinum edition Project (codename AAAPPP or 3A3P)
My Friends,
by being so amused with the AP discussion, I decided today to ask my wife if she can cook me yet another ROM, my personal Platinum Edition, in her kitchen.
It should do anything and it should be finished for release as soon as possible.
I'll let you know what's the progress with this exiting new project soon.
Have fun Friends!

I've done tons of research to see if anyone has a WP7 ROM available for download for use with the HD2, but I haven't been so lucky. Anyone know of such an animal yet? WP7 has obviously been released, so someone HAS to have done SOMETHING with it for the HD2...
So, you've "done tons of research to see if anyone has a WP7 ROM available for download for use with the HD2" but you never noticed the many threads where people get flamed on, hard, for asking the exact same question as you?
In short, there isn't one. There may be, but if there is then it won't be for quite a while.

Not snippy - more curt. And it will not be released soon. Not in any working order, anyway.
Cotulla will be releasing a semi-functional wp7 build that can be run using his yet-to-be-released magldr. They will probably be released at the same time, I would think, but it's not known how soon. It will not have any live services functional, so no market or any other services that make the os special, so it will not be very useful for day-to-day use. Also, it will run off the sd card, so you will not flash it. It'll be cool to play around with, though.
I would like to help!!!
i know about a donation to the development of wp7OS on Leo, but are they sure they can make it possible?. i would like to know how to do it to put hands on that but it sounds really hard. if there is a "sure, we can make a working wp7 on Leo!" i will make a good donation and be pacient. (que tal si hacemos una manifestacion a Microsoft o a HTC para que nos den una actualizacion para Leo?). "I WANT MY WP7 HD2!!!" throwing rocks to their windows and burning cars to get it.

found this thread in the XOOM area.
as it has a much wider public forum, it seems they move alot faster on that front but as long as we're on XDA, and sharing is important, the files needed to change the kernel, is included, so those capable of compiling the kernel, can implement this patch?
here is the link to the thread
i will look at it the next days, but i don't know if i can fix it, but lets see..
at least now we know its possible
Sounds cool, but after a long angry birds session or watching a flash video online, my tablet gets quite warm already, I wonder what the increased heat from that extra ½ GHz will do to the components in the long run.
I guess you could use the extra power on-demand though.
This looks very interesting. I'll follow the progress. Since you're in the Xoom-area of XDA, what's the ETA on Honeycomb on the Folio?
Btw, you´re the man Dexter. Without you the Folio-development would be stone dead.
This is interesting as a possible capability, but what is the need ?
Just to demonstrate it is possible and that is all ?
IMHO I would focus on eliminating the bugs and developing more stable custom roms, on either existing froyo or incoming honeycomb
Still quite pissed off with folio sudden crashes/hangs ups and hoping this is not hardware issue....
No offend people
Ready to test the roms as long as rollback to previous or stock firmware possible

if a company of 10000+ employees is incapable of fixing the issue, im not really sure anyone has the time or full awareness of the complexitity of the problems in folio100.. so lets agree its a hardware fault until solved..
In my experience, in such companies it is sometime LOT more difficult to get a proper person employed to do the job, cause they are like big whales in respect of making a fast and sharp move and doing simple changes becomes not so simple for them in this case.....
Otherwise you(or someone from XDA) should have already be working as a lead tester/developer for Toshiba at least remotely or part time....am I wrong
btw, is there a e-mail or public forum for Toshiba with at least someone from toshiba android development team appearing and answering questions ?
what e-mail address can be used for that ?
Apologize for offtop

we got it .. but its not compatible in any way for now..
wrong dalvik (we got API 8, needs API 10), wrong kernel, no library support and no hardware drivers adapted...
apps natively written for api10 for now, and no deodex options available..
so...it will take time before we see a working 3.0 ..
for now, we utilize their findings and see if it helps us on other tegra2 platforms..
We will be fine with 2.X for a while... The important thing in my perspective is to have the apps running. Android 3.0 is still in it's early days, and will see a lot more improvements in the future.
I still believe that the important thing is content, not android version "per si"

I'm agree but some news from web: "Toshiba is preparing a new comeback, hoping, this time, to register more success. The new Toshiba Folio 100 tablet’s release date is set for March 2011, in United Kingdom. It will still feature Android 3.0 and will not give access to the Android market."
so maybe honeycomb is not so far...

Kanske, men det stod faktiskt Folio 100. Den nya Folion skall väl heta 200 eller något helt annat och varför skulle den inte ha gapps ?
Vore förstås härligt om de släppte om 100an med 3.0 som vi kan använda.
Possibly, but it did say Folio 100. The new Folio is supposed to be 200 or some unrelated name and why should it not have gapps ?
Would be lovely if the rereleased the 100 with Honeycomb and it worked with our machine !
Folio100 does not fullfill then android 3.0 requirements. for front/rear camera, 1200x800 resolution and modem.
Folio200 will have all that, but if UK articles, poorly written, do write still remain without somewhere they got that story? since the 200 edition WILL have it all.
i don't think Nvidia releases another SDK without full "Android experience" support to vendors of hardware designs. so its likely to be an internal thing, that toshiba somehow got it working, If they did, that is.

That's some good news, but just one question, why is it Folio 100? Shouldn't it be Folio 200?
Last time I heard that Folio 100 will be back it was still 2.2 Froyo and not 3.0.
I'm so sadly to hear of that!
On Topic: Folio got OC upgrade to 1.5 GHz (see kernel dev thread).
But everybody have overreacted. Ofc you have some work to do in priority but terminating the project was not everybody's goal... So I am sure of that everybody want you to continue this project. And even I didn't i am sorry for "cool sarcastic guys".

We can learn together... but this takes time.
Many time. Months, maybe years...

1.
Android port needs extreme deep knowledge...
2.
Also you need time...
Result is.
Few of the Developers from this project now high skilled in Reversing Bootloader, FOTA, Hardware etc.
They are now much smarter then before.
Maybe 1 day in future project will continue...
Again.
This project is HARDEST task.
Project reached bottleneck and stopped now... temporary... like other Android ports before... many other ports never reached 100 % ... after few months...
Maybe finished in 2012, 2013 or maybe never.
Who knows.
Expect not to much.
If you need Android now, then buy Android handset now...
Porting is Education... And Education can take years.
Best Regards
after that time no one will need Android on Wave i think I know this is so hard. But after that far i think giving up is a bad thing. Why? Bc sarcastic morons? Who cares of them. They are just "trying to be badass or entertaining themselves like that ways". I m a student in high school. And in my country high schools are so much harder than other countries. So i wish (really wish) that i could help you but i can't.

Ne demek istediğini tam anlamadım ama anladığım kadarıyla söyleyim. Badadroid projesinin alpha versiyonu bile galaxy ace teki androidden daha stabil ve hızlıydı. Yani gayet de uygundur...
Btw even the alpha version of badadroid (or whatever its name is ) was so much faster than galaxy ace. So i think Android in Wave would be seem much better than Ace...

While reading this part, i've guessed that you may from Turkey, and on your next message it has been proved. =)
Anyway bro as far as i know and according to my searchings that project is almost impossible. The project really needs deep knowledge and much more time. So, galaxy s2 awaits ! =D

Haha you got me Well there is nothing to do with this "hard" thing at the moment Yeah I know this project requirements but there are dev's in xda who has so much better than you explained And unfortunately in Turkey electronic s and high ended devices are more expensive than other countries But still such a good country isn't it

I've remembered my oldies but goldies university memories because of you thanks anyway ^^ ( but these memories does not consist mid-term and final examz =D )
Lets hope the other developer guys may focus on this, but after a year and the current status of the Bada os, to be honest well its not that shiny anymore for me and i suppose many of bada users too =/
Btw i suggest you to follow Vatan Computer. Once or twice per month, they're making about %20 or %25 discounts on products ( generally over website ).
Ah and for the last part yeah i'm proud of living in Turkey

Actually I think everybody will use badadroid in their phones (Dual boot man just dual boot ) Btw if you are Turkish and I am Turkish why are we still speaking in english Well I think speaking in second language is much funnier than native one

Excatly, dual boot is good alternative way to use android on bada, but i cannot dare to build it on my phone
Two reasons for me to speak English; First one is, it's been looong time for me to speak in English with someone. So this is a good chance for me to make practice ^^
The second reasons is, we may get banned from here because of speaking with other language. Rules are rule !! =D
Hop hop hop, I'll point out that there's a great deal of people here in France who would love to see Android on their samsung waves...
I think the work that has been done is fantastic - Really fantastic work and much much further than for some other handsets. I'm convinced that the key to the problem is finding an android handset with the same modem chip. Surely samsung didn't go to the effort of creating a modem chip specifically for the WAVE & WAVE 2
Lets go looking shall we ?

Oh i didn't realize that :S Actually you can dare it I tried and worked well. If you have a good class of sd card (even class4) you can use Android with dual-boot and believe me it's so much smoother than Samsung Galaxy Ace I couldn't dare try it on bada 2 betas too. But if somebody try it i will too And about the practice thing so am i But it's just ridiculous to speak english with a person who is from my country

Yes it's pretty much harder. We just need to driver creator developer but if even that kind of developer exist he is in Samsung or else company. So it became so harder

Hi there, I saw out there that development previews of Android O are available to DL and test over several devices (such as Pixel XL), I would have a request, as I dont have the knowledge and material for.
Is there someone interested in the fact of building a port of Android O, 8.0 for our beloved device?
Here is where you can find anything:
https://developer.android.com/preview/overview.html#preview_tools
If I had time I wish one day I could learn about this fascinating world that is Android.
Anyway, thanks for everyone that is reading this.
Cordially,

We might see android O builds when the OS is officially released (although probably much later). Right now, it is too early to speak because there are some changes and workarounds that will probably have to be done in order to get it working on our device (seeing the pattern with previous android iterations).
Saber
Anyway, it would be so good to be running an O ROM on the sII, currently I'm running LOS Nightly on it and I juste can't believe that an old phone could handle it at this point.
So if O comes to SII, lot of us will be glad.
Thanks for your answer @Saber
