Why No New Bada 2.0 Roms?

Yesterday we received a letter from Samfirmware explaining why they won’t be releasing any new bada 2.0 roms prior to Samsungs official release.  We thought it would be appropriate to share this with our members.  I think this is a respectable thing for them to do and it I believe this may help keep the peace between Samsung and samfirmware.  Here is the letter.

Dear Badaforums,

We of SamFirmware will not release any new bada 2.0 before official release.
There are new roms and yes we have people with access. (People from Europe, Asia, Africa and US.)

There are many new bada 2.0 roms, the only problem is Samsung is watching us very closely.  The biggest reason is because of the bada 2.0 leaked roms.

Bada is Samsung’s own OS.

Samsung isn’t happy about leaked roms.
Because we want to save our name, we will not release any new firmware before official release.
If we can get early official releases we will post them.

Remember Samsung has his own test team for firmwares.
Samsung’s testers are writing reports over latest firmwares.

We hope this helps you.

Greetings www.SamFirmware.com

I think we should all respect their decision.  It may be for the better in the long run.

The Bada 2.0 Betas, reviewed, explained and judged.

Hello all,
It’s been a while since my last post but here’s another one for you lot. (Also for anyone on any version of Bada should look at the bottom for the ‘Connection’ in case you have an issue with that on your phone.)

I’ve always enjoyed shifting about with betas, getting the 1.2 about 4 months before it was actually released in Europe for example was a really sweet deal for me, thus when I read that the 2.0 version was out and leaked, I couldn’t really do anything but try it on the spot. Now, most/all have an idea as to what it looks like considering all the talk that’s been going on and I would also add some images to make this pretty but I’ll explain why there aren’t further on.

Back on topic, the Betas. Now, I downloaded each of the three that were leaked. I have slapped them on the phone and I made it endure more flashes than a torch light does during a winter storm with bad batteries (not that the battery in the phone was any bad mind you). Now, onto the explanation of each leak yes? Yes.

Leak 1:

When it first came out a few weeks ago, I grabbed it, I slapped it on the phone and instantly I was captured by the differences in the startup screen, the home panel and the new widget screen (that had some nice vertical scrolling), the small tutorials were nice at first, albeit soon got cumbersome later on during the other flashes but they were still useful and during the final one, I’ll be glad not to have the phone lag for a moment as it loads up the respective tutorial (that shows you how to add folders on the homescreen, how to activate/de-activate widgets and how to add short-cuts to the home panels) The stock theme is something that would make Lismore roll over and go the way of the dodo (a now extinct bird) in just about anyone’s mind.
