Samsung launches bada 2.0, releases the SDK to the public
Although Samsung had announced bada 2.0 back in February during MWC 2011, it took them quite a long time to release it. But it seems Samsung has not forgotten about its little pet project as today we got news of Samsung making bada 2.0 live and also releasing the SDK to anyone willing to visit their website, register and download the 368KB file
Link

Download the bada SDK - bada Developers

Tweeted by Samsungbada account: The 2.0 upgrade for Wave devices will be available from 4Q (starting Europe) in different countries gradually

YAY YAY YAY

 

[tommy_vercetti]

4Q what does that mean, it was supposed to be released in September, we are already halfway through September, it's like it is going to be released in October, Yay yay yay, then ohhh no it's going to be released in Decemeber, another yay yay yay... yawn...

 

[Surfer]

hi all... just a quick question, i upgraded the firmware on my wave 1 to DDkh1 but my camera isn't working, i.e i can't click pic easily... it's too hard to use the autofocus, all i can do is to hard press the camera button to click a pic, but sometimes the clarity won't be good...

now i heard the we can upgrade the firmware manually... i saw a tutorial, just wanted to know whether i should go with it or not???

please reply guys...

thanks in advance.

 

[nitmeh3]

Am sick of my Wave 8500. Worst phone EVER ! No apps even after two years !! Delayed updates. Google and Apple should sue sammy for copying BADA too.

 

[devesh38]

Q4 is also over. Thats enough for me now. Enough waiting from samsung to release the official firmware. Now have decided to install one of the europe ones.

Thinking of flashing with Europe firmwares for bada 2.0 from samfirmware site.

I am thinking to install from these 2 options...

1. KL6 firmware

S8500XXKL6 with SHP / Polaris / Java icons on desktop

2. KK7 firmware

FoSaMobi :Update KK7 version : Polaris Office, Widget Facebook and Twitter, Themes...

can someone advice which one to go with? And will there be any problem with network connecting as the countries specified for this firmware are for Europe only??

or SHOULD I STILL WAIT??

Although i don't used Bada phone for now... while i was using it i had flashed it with the European firmware from samfirmware site. Just follow the usual stuff while flashing. Trust me, waiting ain't going to be fruitful with Samsung. Patience will start to take it toll into frustration...

Just my 2 cents..
