If you ever had used the forum search, you would have found both answers to your questions.
... and your second question sucks, anyway.

if you know any answer post it
if dont know so dont talk , anyway

Well for your first question I dont know the answer but for your second i know.
There may be a way u can make it spoofable by hackin some files but the better way is to download firmware that was released before November or any firmware that is pre hacked by some hackers to run spoof applications. well i personally dont suggest you to spoof games or any other application because i also dont do the same. The developers need some support.

thanks i think both answers is negative but nothing is impossible
in our region there is just one firmware of bada 1.2 and its release after november so if we want to use bada 1.2 there is no way to use spoofed apps ( there is no older version of bada 1.2)
for yor advice tnx i know they need support but samsung apps dont let us to buy apps because the seller part dont start in our region so we have no way except spoof

Actually I never knew that you cant buy apps. so listen xxJID, xxJJA, xxJK1 firmwares were launched before November and are also bada 1.2

Multi-tasking on Bada native apps??..[more]

Hi Everyone,
XXIKA1. Does this firmware support Multitasking on Bada??
I've seen some videos on Youtube that show Multitasking with this firmware..
HERE'S THE VIDEO
Also does this allow for spoofing..(I've spoofed Asphalt free with which was not available anymore..) I have XXJK1 currently. And does this work in conjunction with Android. Than-Q.
XXJK1 and Android. Yes, you can use it, because I'm using that firmware too.

I think you misunderstood me. I am already on XXJK1. I want to know If I can use XXIKA1 with android and will it allow for spoofing? and does it actually have Multi-taking for Bada Native apps. thanks.
Sorry. I saw "I" as "J". Look main tutorial thread's first post. If your firmware isn't there, post there your question. Maybe someone make a bootloader for your firmware.
Thanks for the suggestions but I havce other queries too..
The bootloader and firmware (considered as the rest of the files with apps_compressed.bin as the most important) are completely different things that should not be confused.
The FOTA is prepared for certain bootloaders while they may run with different apps_compressed.bin as long as there is right header in the apps. Additionally, you may try modifying apps when it doesn't have the right header.

Thanks for the reply! But I am a little confused...as to what to do.
I just installed the 'bl_univ_boot_poc2.fota' before installing Android with XXJK1.
how to modify apps? Also do you knw whether this firmware (XIKA1) has bada multi-tasking? Or shall I just stick with XXJK1 (too good except multitasking.)
And apps-compreesed.bin is the preloaded apps right?
let me answer you questions
1.all bada firmwares from bada 1.0 support multitasking but for native apps only so XIKA1 is not that special
2.XIKA1 doesn't support sp**fing
3. booting Android needs three things
prepared fota (mijoma made it already) , apps_compressed.bin that support fota (if it doesn't support it there is a small exe mijoma made also to patch the file) , proper bootloader that is compatible with the fota (you can see all proper ones at mijoma's thread)
Important N.B : we don't flash modded bootloaders it bricks the phone

OK. too stupid of me. So I thought it was third-party bada apps multi-tasking..
OK stickin with XXJK1 the best firmw there is.

[Q] Problem on installing apps to an unpublished Bada phone (GT-S7250)

Hello guys, I'm a greenhand on XDA, English and Mobile-dev, so please forgive any of my stupid words if I do have said in the bellowing description.
Yesterday, I joined the Samsung Bada Developers' Day, and got an unpublished Bada phone, it's GT-S7250 (Wave M). The problem is , I found I don't know how to install apps on it .
At first, I tried the built-in app market client, but strangely, I can only found some test apps on it, I guess that 's because the app market server still can't recognize this phone type yet.
Then, I use Samsung Kies on my PC, wish I could send apps to my phone after downloading them with Kies, but unfortunately, still doesn't work, cause it always prompts that the device is not supported.
So, could anyone provides my any idea to bypass all these limitations ? Thanks.
PS: I have do some monitoring work on Kies, and seems that there no validation requests to the server, and thus I think there might be a configuration file on the local disk, containing the supported devices's info, and if we can find and hack it, perhaps we could bypass the limitation.
what display resolution does your device have?
maybe you could ask larioteo for a copy of his app, he has found a method to install one app without kies, but he's only developing in 800*480 resolution
Can you show us the FW code read by kies???
i want to see if i can get the FW you have right now
About hacking kies...i think your phone is HVGA device so you can't install apps that are in kies right now
Wait until larioteo is back from his work to see what we can do about it
maybe we take you as a tester because you know chinese and we don't have chinese localization
Best Regards

Thanks for your reply, as @mylove90 said, the screen is HVGA, 480x320.
I will dig into larioteo 's posts while waiting for his reply.
Acutally, I have found the downloaded app files on my PC, the path is
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Samsung\Kies\Download\Applications, under this folder, I have found the *.app files, together with the corresponding *.app.img file each. I guess these are the app files I need, but to my disappoint ,when I copy these files onto my phone, I can't install them, it prompts unknown file type.

Hi, mylove90, thanks for your reply.
To be honest , I don't quite understand what do you mean by "FW code", this is the first time I met this abbreviation, I guess you mean the "FirmWare code", right ? If so , Kies shows the firmware version is : S7250XXKI8/S7250XAKI8(XXX) , Hope this is what we need to find.
As to become a tester, I have to say that I'm REALLY REALLY glad to do that, it's an great honor for me that I can do something for possibly all Bada users as my feedback to the community.
And I also had a look at larioteo's post about the voluntas browser, hope I can do somthing for it.
Thank you again,
Best Regards.
S7250XXKI8/S7250XAKI8(XXX)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thank you for info.
Firmware seems from September... XXX seems Product Code...
About install Apps... as handset is "new" (different Resolution)...
But you could play with bada 2.0 SDK to install few examples...
Maybe be carefully, as it is an prototype and as I know no Firmware is leaked, to fix problems...
Best Regards
I found something, if i wanted to search "S7250XXKI8". There is http://www.badaforums.net/forums/bada2/bada-dev-day-2011-t4913.html discussion on badaforums about Wave M.
Oh Samsung is so evil
XXX is invalid product code for kies updates
you get XXX product code is you damaged your original one
they know that we already got kies firmwares for sure
Best Regards
Hello there i am see left
XXX is not invalid it is the "Default Code", the main product code for all devices, only test devices gets this code, it is the ultimative update everything code.
As i know it from slyfer my tool to watch their server XXX was always the first code that got an open europe firmware, than the others get an upadte like DBT, OXA OXB OXC OXD OXE OXG after that the providers pick another of that and make something liket his VIA DRE and so on.
For more infos you need only to ask.
Picture in 5 minuetes: (also with other codes that you believe me )
note: yes the server changed but not the codes
larioteo know the best, but probably you can't install any apps that already launched. I mean, you can't install the apps that downloaded with Kies. but you can install an app that under development via Bada SDK 2.0 or larioteo's method. I hope I didn't make things worse for you.
Root Cert method via BADA SDK
If you just want to install your own apps on your wave M, ask Laoriteo about the root cert method via BADA SDK.
Really appreciate all you guys very very much, thank you for you kindly replies to my first thread on XDA.
According to your opinions, seems that there isn't much I can do with this problem. Perhaps I can only wait for the publication of this phone type, maybe till that time I will be able to use the built-in Samsung app market client. Or perhaps some hackers may jailbreak Bada, so that we can directly install any apps.
Then, I will be aiming at Bada app development, because I really feel the lack of apps on Bada, especially under the condition that I can't install any apps on this phone now.
Thank you,everyone!

Maybe Apps...

But it works OK, and you can install LOW rsrc2 so you don't need to change the debuglevel. It seems to be faster, there are preinstalled widgets and they works. Twitter and Facebook in Social hub works but the apps are missing. Pretty much everythig works.
Alright I installed it and have to say I like it, no crashes yet and overall it`s faster than KH3. If you move the camera it seems to be faster too. Widgets are also working. There are 4 widgets in total: Calendar, Analog clock, Date and time widget and weather widget)
How come, samfirmware were allowed to release another Beta-ROM? I thought they were scared to do that since Samsung put pressure on them. Or is it a final ROM? Why would Vodafone even bother bringing out some Beta-ROM?
Code:
Type : Unofficial Version
Number : 262
Builder : Dell02
Host : SCMDELL16
Date : [B]2011/09/16[/B]
Time : 19:35:07
Size : 42468732 bytes
CheckSum : 0xef3c5853
This Version is around 1 month old...
Maybe Samsung internal Versions much closer to Final...
S8600 stuff are from October...

Can you tell me how to find the date of S8600 FWs???

They just said they are watched by Sammy and that they'll step back, nothing about beeing actually under pressure.
Either way: the new ROM is blaaazzzzing fast.
Restore functionality from KIES now works for me for everything except apps. (though several restores in a row may crash the phone).
I love Sammy and Bada

Not heard of this device. Perhaps a chinese copy of HD2.
OK, found something. It runs on Android, so you can only run Android apps. BTW what exactly you mean when you say things needed?

It runs 2.2 (as mentioned on the web), I don't have any idea if it can be upgraded, as you may know 2.2 isn't the latest version.
For GPS, you can check its specs if it has GPS or not, if yes then you can install the apps from the market otherwise perhaps connect an external GPS, although I am not sure weather an external will work or not.
You can click on 'Thanks' button, if I helped.

Maybe it could help us to help you if you could post the link.
The chinese website where I saw this, mentioned Android 2.2.
Many app not work on this mobile !

since it is running android, so the compatible android apps should run on it, but since its a Chinese clone, no guarantees.
You can trying looking at other android phones by HTC or some other brand, to be safe.
You can try this rom Update_HD2_3G.zip www.multiupload.com/XOVS2HZTHO to remove all chinese aplications and to improve everything.

Is it upgradable to ICS???

wave 3 themes for wave 1 and 2

Is it possible to port wave 3 inbuilt themes monkey and other flash themes to wave 1 & 2.
If these themes are from Samsung Apps - no. Because of encryption based on IMEI number.
If the theme isn't encrypted ([theme_name].smt, encrypted themes have added ".dcf") and you can find that file via sTune in AppEx -> Sys/User and extract it, then the theme should work on Wave and Wave II.
Vishal for using the bada 2.0 themes or flash themes you need to be on any of the beta versions. Then you can have any flash theme or bada 2.0 theme on your wave 1 or wave 2. Below is the tutorial how can you do that....

hello
Dear Tapan, Thanks for your prompt revert.
I am very much enjoying the bada 2.0 themes on my beta firmware.
I opened this thread to request if someone could extract the inbuilt themes of wave 8600. Flash monkey theme (shown in youtube).
...extract the inbuilt themes of wave 8600...
Click to expand...

They are NOT inbuild... preinstalled or whats ever...
You can download them from store...
DIFFERENT protection... NOT same like apps... better protected.
Tough protection... but funny at all.
I know only 2 Themes in store...
Gorilla and Infinity... since months...
Infinity Trial should also be available for S8500/S8530 if not again removed...
Seems much harder to use Action Script (Flash) to design such themes...
Best Regards
I fail to understand why samsung is making things tough for bada users.
The only thing which i was able to get from samsung were themes as they are not able to provide basic apps which any other phone has.
Now, they have started blocking the themes also. we are at mercy of samsung until we sell our phones.
ı dont thınk so
Can any one provide me the link to Gorilla theme (Wave 3) for my wave 1.

Gorilla is in S8600 AND S7250 Store.

Both are Fullscreen.
But I have no idea how to solve this AES128 thingie... aka .dcf Encryption...
For themes.
Apps is no problem.
You can enter S8600 store with S8500 easier then with S8530 yet. Solution is here:

Link forgotten, to lazy to search...
But I have never seen Gorilla.smt
Now the question is.
Why?
Why Paperman.smt leaked?
Again, all ways I have tried ended with Gorilla.smt.DCF
DCF is AES encryption...
It is useless to copy, as my IMEI is involved and you can't decrypt...
Only way is to fake your handset as S8600 or S7250 and install via Kies or store on handset...
If you find other way. Tell me.

But version in the store has new icons. The version which I've exported in STD has the default ones. In bada Flash Extension library only flash samples from Paperman were provided. Without icons.

Maybe soon we need more space for Flash themes.

Update: Those who are facing issues with installation of flash themes using this method.
After deletion of the pre installed themes using stune or any other way except default theme. i am able to install the gorilla theme but as soon as the installation occurs in the phone, in kies, it shows error "faulty installation"
Now, installation part needs to be taken care. I hope it will be soon.
