Will we see Tizen soon in our devices?

Yes.
Samsung is very famous as lightning fast.
See how long bada 2...
So we have Tizen soooon in 1 or 2 years...
Best Regards

someone already started portin tizen on the wave s8500
but the threat is locked so there is no new information about progres
and i think it was the first beta of tizen

Great
It seems to be good.
Maybe a Tizen section should be added in xda ?

They are developing Tizen on very similiar device to SGS2 (same CPU, same CP, similiar board), I don't think they will ever want to backport it to Wave series.

Yes Samsung won't port it. No doubt. We can't expect anything from them. We saw how long they take to release and to roll out bada 2 for less than 5 devices.... a year now... And no official release for every body.
But I'm confident and I think that a unofficial port is possible.

...and I think that a unofficial port is possible.

Come on...
Nothing learned ?
SDK and new OS is ever blablaballaballa...
The magic is talented Developers...
If you can write Programs, then you can port it to many systems...
Example...
You don't need Windows 7, 8, 9 or Win 1000... to play Solitaire.
Or Crysis 2 runs perfect on XP...
Same for handsets. It is absolute buxxshxttx to change OS...
bada 1.x Apis are perfect for Games...
There are other reasons why not so much good stuff available...
Don't waste your time with Tizen for S8500, S8530 etc...
Its only wet dream.
Best Regards

I'm shared about your answer. I know that it is a hard to port an OS.
I know that the hardware capacity are important and that the Waves are becoming old. I don't expect a smooth and ultra fast Tizen.
But for me running is running. Before I get my Wave I was with a super slow Omnia I900 (even with the WM6.1 stock Rom). Samsung doesn't updated the device (uhm... it doesn't changed...) with WM 6.5 and devs made the update. It was working,no more.
What I want to say is that now nobody is happy of the power of their "toys" (PC,tablet,smartphone...). For sure I think it is better for our toys to be the fluent and efficient as possible. The best is to get the right balance between efficiency and the possibilities that offers you the OS.
Moreover we(especially I in fact) don't know if this OS need a lot of resources or not. It is not because the OS has been developed with a SGS2 that it requires such hardware.
There are actually three possibilities :
-Tizen is a light OS runnable by nearly all device.
-Tizen is a plump OS. Then it can be run with some tweaks.
-Tizen requires so much resources that it can only be bootable with recent device.
After knowing which kind of OS we have we can say wheter it is possible or not.
I know that being optimistic isn't good. I take the risk to be disapointed that you take
I hope you will be suprised. Even if you have more chance than me to be right.

Hi again
I've downloaded Tizen SDK and Emulator. I found file which is running in emulator, it's hm system file. Maybe if we found a metod to extract, we can explore Tizen OS files. Can anybody extract it, or have idea how to do it ?

none of this really matters, getting an OS to "run" on the Samsung Wave S8500/S8530 devices has been done, and could certainly get done to the same point with Tizen as was done with Android but it would also STOP at the same point - modem driver and fuel guage, people who have the time and coding know-how are needed to work on this specifically for Wave devices, but because of the relatively limited market penetration of the Wave that just hasn't ended up being the case.(remember we haven't been able to find a device that has the modem wired up and coded in the way it has been done on S8500 and S8530) I don't know much about S8600's modem.

Seems also silence about Tizen...
SDK has NO update since April... since first release...
IFA in Berlin is near...
Rumours NO Tizen device in 2012.
So I think no Tizen news on IFA next days...
If you install Tizen SDK, you can find many Samsung Emails...

Qualcomm SDK new update

Device Compatibility
Finally, I’m proud to announce facial processing compatibility with certain Android devices powered by Qualcomm® Snapdragon S4, 200, 400, 600, and 800 processors. This means that if you have any of these compatible devices, you will be able to download and run the facial processing samples and develop your own applications against these devices immediately. Check our current compatibility list of devices, and check back as we update this list over time.
All of these changes were designed to offer a much easier, more compatible SDK that you can use right away. Learn more about the latest features of the SDK and let me know if you have any questions in the comments below or come and meet me at an upcoming event.

[INFORMATORY PURPOSE] Broadcom Releases VideoCore IV Source

SOURCE: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/broadcom-releases-videocore-source-ported-to-bcm21553-socs/
LINK: http://blog.broadcom.com/chip-desig...ves-developers-keys-to-the-videocore-kingdom/
The community of open source mobile developers around the world are a vocal bunch – and here at Broadcom we’ve heard their call.
To date, there’s been a dearth of documentation and vendor-developed open source drivers for the graphics subsystems of mobile systems-on-a-chip (SoC). Binary drivers prevent users from fixing bugs or otherwise improving the graphics stack, and complicate the task of porting new operating systems to a device without vendor assistance.
But that’s changing, and Broadcom is taking up the cause.
Today, Broadcom is releasing the full source of the OpenGL ES 1.1 and 2.0 driver stack for the Broadcom VideoCore® IV 3D graphics subsystem used in the BCM21553 3G integrated baseband SoC. VideoCore IV is used in many Broadcom products, including the BCM2835 application processor, which runs the popular Raspberry Pi microcomputer.
The trend over the last decade has leaned towards greater openness in desktop graphics, and the same is happening in the mobile space. Broadcom — a long-time leader in graphics processors — is a frontrunner in this movement and aims to contribute to its momentum.
The VideoCore driver stack, which includes a complete standards-compliant compiler for the OpenGL® ES Shading Language, is provided under a 3-clause BSD license; the source release is accompanied by complete register-level documentation for the graphics engine.
HOPE THIS HELPS OUR BELOVED DEVELOPERS AT SAMSUNG GALAXY GRAND DUOS (GT-I9082) FORUM TO DEVELOP MORE AWESOME ROMs!
Good Luck Guyz :good:

Awesome but forgotten Polaroid tablets need Devs attention!

Hello everyone,
let's make it as short as possible. As the title says, there are plenty of Polaroid tablets with not-bad specs ( one core arm cpu clocked at 1Ghz or more) that need some of the Devs magic. For unknown reasons, the manufacturing comapny, the very famous Polaroid released the MIDC range and left it without any upgrades and I am sure their forums is full with threads begging them to give our old but much loved devices upgrades to newer android versions or just updates to fix bugs and add some nowadays necessary features.
And here I am, the unelected spokesman of all Polaroid MIDC tablets owners, looking for some attention and care from our beloved XDA-devs to do something in regard of this cause.
Thanks in advance. I am totally willing to pay Devs for this cause and want to try Google now on my device please.
My device: Polaroid MIDC970PR001
CPU : Cortex Allwinner A10 1.01 GHz 1xARM Cortex-A8
GPU : Mali-400 MP
Screen : 8.02 inches 1024x768
RAM : 814 MB
Storage : 1GB internal sorage + 6GB
System: the very old Android 4.0.4 ( who in the world still has android 4.0.4 on a tablet).

I got ics on my pmid10c. Polaroid strung me along from when i bought it new in 2011 until this year about kernel source.
First, "the device is too new for releasing kernel source."
Later "we're referring that question to engineering who'll get back to you."
Never heard back after any of my many many phone calls and emails, until the last time when they actually called me back.
"The device isn't supported anymore, the factory that built it is closed, and we don't have access to the source code now."
Worthless manufacturer.
I talked with another developer here on xda about kernel source, the sunxi kernels build and boot but lack support for the extra hardware like touchscreen and sound and gps etc.
Find me kernel source and maybe i can help out.
