BadaDroid is Alive and Kicking! Android Marshmallow Available for Samsung GT-S8500 Wave
Android 6.0 Marshmallow makes its way to BadaOS devices thanks to BadaDroid project!
Android is a unique mobile OS, as it can be installed on various devices including phones, tablets, watches or even cars. It's one of the most flexible operating systems and due to its open-source nature, it's ported to even more devices.

Running Android on a device that was never supposed to support the OS is quite a challenge. But even when you've got that part working, those last ten percent is often the most challenging. This has been exactly the case for the BadaDroid project, which aims to bring Android to Bada (a lesser known OS released by Samsung for their Wave series, for which development stopped in 2013 after it was replaced by its successor, Tizen). We've actually seen the project develop slowly over the last two years, and it's always great to see it progressing further.
Bada is a somewhat lesser known OS released by Samsung alongside with their Wave series in late 2009. Eventually, this operating system was dropped from active development in 2013 and replaced by Tizen. Relatively quickly, developers realized that they could put another OS onto Wave devices, but porting a different OS is an extremely difficult and time-consuming task, as almost all drivers needs to be rewritten. But this is XDA, and the term impossible is clearly not available in our dictionary.
