I would like to hear your ideas for Bada modifications, what things do you want to see done to Bada?
Everything and anything goes! (within reason)
My wishlist.
-
Delete some unneeded "Icons"... because I can remove Facebook, Twitter ...
But few JAVA Midlets are somewhere protected against remove.
I was able to delete jar, jad, Icon but Icon still there in menu
Where is the Database entry to clear?
Preinstalled Widget too...
-
120 Apps Limit...
Hmm, there are other ways to replace ... BUT why 120 Apps are Maximum?
-
Developer signed Apps are only 1 possible to activate...
bada SDK Samples for instance...
Via Broker.exe Install seems more then 1 work at the same time... Why?
And how to expand to install more then 1 App at same time.
-
Filemanager bada App with Access to internal Filesystem.
I'm sure that Samsung will not allow this on their Store... but is it possible.
Someone told their are no APIs to access internal folder...
maybe invetigation of apps_compressed.bin will help to find "Commands"...
-
Folder delete in internal FS
I can create folder with PSAS, but can't delete. They are writeprotected.
More ideas hopefully later...
Best Regards
well for instance i wanna change the keyboard to either htc or iphone.... this one is too crammy like congested.... wanna have a spacious potrait keyboard......... and with universal setting like if i wanna activate predective text it should apply everywhere... not just in messages........ and it should always stay on..........
secondly i wud like to see more UI modifications beyond just themes...... like changing the status bar or the way notifications occur and stuff........... custom roms maybe... variety is a good thing...
I'd like to see:
Ability to create widgets or widget like apps using system parameters..
For eg: GPRS data, browser bookmarks, setting wallpapers etc..
Customization of the top Notification Panel buttons.
Filemanager Drag and Drop to move files and folders
A memory cleanup application.
Big Aspect sized thumbnails for videos.. now we cannot distinguish videos in thumb view.
More Right click options in files/folders - i.e., Click and Hold to show Menu options to Move/Copy/Delete/Rename/Open with/etc..
I'd like to see shortcuts (with names) like on Android and continous autofocus in the video cam !
My ideas or things I want in Bada
Here are my ideas :
1. Ability to replace whole UI like Android.
2. Folders in Menu.
3. Text-reflow in Browser.
5. Unlimited Menu pages and Home screens.
6. Unlimited SMS storage (why you want to restrict us to 1300 on a SMARTPHONE )
7. Sending Group SMS to any number of people (can be very useful for certain type of
businesses. Did u think about it Sammy ?)
8. Auto-hide of Notification bar and Lower bar after certain amount of time or on Tap.
9. Different Wallpapers on every home screen.
10. Better animations.
11. Smaller icons. 4x5 grid with an option to change to suit consumers' taste.
12. Notification Drop down to have buttons for APN, Brightnesss.
13. In-built Backup-Restore app for all phone data. User should be able to select to what he
wants to backup or restore.
14. Highly efficient GPS. (I would not like to buy a BMW whose tires I have to fix. I have
paid for it, btw.)
15. Better Facebook(with chat), Twitter and IM app atleast Gtalk. Current one plainly sucks
16. Various bugs in Messaging to be fixed.
17. Select all and Mark as read option in Email app.
18. Universal availability of Social Hub Premium.
19. A little better sound output through speakers (it is based on personal taste only )
20. Text-reflow and Pinch-to-zoom in Email app.
21. Soft buttons for Menu and Back.
22. All applications to have Exit button.
more to come.................
Out of all these I have already solved 7th but then everybody can't make changes to the file system.
Yes, I do love Bada and its potential. Its simplicity is killing feature
Thanks !
I think user experience would benefit by implementing GPU acceleration in UI and browser as in IOS and Windows phone 7.

Hi all. @TigerCourage on AF I play with the camera settings file "CamSetting.ini" in folder "Registry" can be seen with the program "sTune" (I started some new options "IntelligentAuto" I do not know what does). There is also an option to focus on video recording "RecordFocusMode" from "0" to "2" default "0". Try setting but do backup before (right click and copy).
Try my sample file

Doesn't work mate, I tried copying your file and then doing a soft rest and it didn't work. I also tried playing with options like RecordFocusMode and IntelligentAuto but still the same...
It would be very AWESOME if we get continous autofocus on Wave!

Hey how you copy a file because the file copied to the phone is only by drag and drop. If you are able to copy my files when you start the camera will see the icon "sA" without restarting the phone. Otherwise the effect of the settings I have attached the file with changed sound of shooting

Yes I copied by drag and drop and I've seen your "sA" icon at the beginning but the continous autofocus is nowhere to be seen...
Is there anyway to save camera shoot images in uncompressed format so that the quality of captured images will be maximum?
I would like to have a "fast-access" GPS button - next to the mute button ("green" menu). I'm really sure that this function will be very popular!

Here are my ideas :"
about ur 7 th point (group sms to any no. of people).. this can be done using stune... jst modify the ini of messages settings there the limit is set to 10.. i dont remember the exact folder
and too lazy to look ... jst play around and see if u find it. otherwise i'll find it for u
I would like to have more keyboard languages (with T9 or whatever it's called on the Wave).
I have seen a friend of mine with a Wave from Vodafone, and he has 30+ langage/keyboard optinons. On my wave (normal German FW) I have about 10. No Cyrillic characters, no Chinese, no Arabian...
How am I supposed to use the full functionality of such a wonderful phone if i can't write an email to a friend /business associate in Russia for example.
I could grump about it a few more pages, but the essence should already be clear
P.S. AFAIK the languages are stored in the CSC flash file, so it's not so easy to "just add" some in, but I hope someone from samsung might also see this and think about it.
Android.=D
If i where a moderator or administrator i would ban that guy for inciting flame wars...
When I start the camera can hear the quiet rustle. It does not help:
-mute all options on the phone
-upload other applications to capture images
-delete ogg files from the system/media/
-change in the system configuration files like default.prop
Google have no more ideas.
I just installed android 2.2(155), if there is any answer please answear
I think it's the sound of the lens opening.. not sure if you can do anything about that.
I'm sure, because the modified roms have changed this sound. I need this for movement recording applications. It's a question of whether the cooks will share information which is the file?
Ive been toying around with changing the theme and setting the phone as i like for a while now and im almost content with it apart from three things i cant figure out how to do myself and would like to ask for some help with.
1) In my KF2 rom there is no option to display the SIM contacts (only import from/to SIM), so can someone help enable that?
2) The CRT gets pixelated after using the advanced power menu, there is a better CRT out there that only gets pixelated if you do a screenshot, so if someone knows how can you put in the new CRT in my framework-res.apk or at least remove the buggy one (disable the CRT)? Done.
Ive uploaded a rar with the apks you might need to mod here:
MultiUpload
Thanks to anyone thats willing to help ...
To cut a long story short, private message the people who have created or implemented these into their themes.
Thats just it, i tried asking LitePro but he seams to be away, im not sure who created the better fixed CRT, the transparent lockscreen and i havent seen a contacts apk with display SIM contacts option that would work on KF2 yet...
Have any idea who i can PM? I wouldnt mind donating for future development to anyone whod have the will to help me...
Got transparent lockscreen, can anyone still help with the remaining two?

For fix pixelated CRT effect, you have to modify bools.xml in framework-res.apk (decompiled) in /res/values/
change :
Code:
<bool name="config_sf_slowBlur">false</bool>
to
<bool name="config_sf_slowBlur">[B]true[/B]</bool>
and of course :
Code:
<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">true</bool>
to
<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">[B]false[/B]</bool>
If you want, you can enable SIP on data network (3G ...) modifing :
Code:
<bool name="config_sip_wifi_only">true</bool>
to
<bool name="config_sip_wifi_only">[B]false[/B]</bool>
EDIT : I can't fix CRT on your framework-res.apk cause you push .png not declared in public.xml. Give me your original file please
Anyone know how i can enable the show SIM option in contacts?
Last thing im missing on this rom...
@sicopat
Is this really the fix for the pixelated CRT? Have you shared this with Jkay?
The only known solution i knew of was the take a screenshot on a white background.
Noone ever tried enabling show SIM contacts option in KF2 or the older 2.3.3 roms that didnt have it?
Try this one for the crt-fix.
Thank you! That did the trick, the CRT no longer gets pixelated after using the advanced power menu !
Now if only i could figure out a way to get the "show SIM contacts" option... it seams that every Contacts+Dialer.apk i try gives me force closes... are they completely different for each rom version?
I have a n7105T (the Telstra telecom 4G model)
They have done something to limit the touchwiz home screen, so that I cant add, subtract or alter the Dock icons at all
I cant add more or take any away..
I was wondering if there is a config file somewhere I can edit to change the dock Icons?
It would be better If I could add folders but just changing which icons I have there would be enough.
also I'm not rooted and prefer not to root at this stage.
Things tried:
Long press
Edit
go to app drawer and choose edit
Long press an app in app drawer (this shows the home screen but HIDES the dock!)
How can turn off the sound of taking a picture? remove shutter file from the directory system/media/audio/UI and change of name does not work. the sound is still there.
edit
Have found the perfect solution. With this operation, the camera's menu appears an additional option on / off shutter
Root access required of course, and I used Root Explorer to do the following:
In Root Explorer, navigate to the following location:
/system/csc and look for a file called 'others.xml'.
Long-press on this file and select 'Open With', and then select 'Text Editor'.
Scroll all of the way to the end and look for the following:
</FeatureSet>
</SamsungMobileFeauture>
Insert the following line just before the </FeatureSet> code.
Code:
Select Code
<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>true</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
Then pressing the 'Back' button will automatically save the file and back-up the original in the folder.
Restart your phone.
Now when you go into the camera, tap on the settings, so you get camera settings, video settings, and the general settings in a pop-up, press the settings icon/tab and scroll down and you can now select to toggle the sound on/off (second-last option).

Well I just went into settings and selected mute. I think that was the simplest option.
Then you have to mute all sounds. This modification allows you to regulate only the shutter sound.

In the same directory is the file "customer.xml". Look for the line
<Multimedia>
<Camera>
<ShutterSound>on</ShutterSound>
</Camera>
</Multimedia>
Simply set the sound to "off" and you're done.
