The developers have a fully working Android 4.2 firmware released for the Samsung Wave and Wave II. The smart phones from 2010 run normal Bada, the Samsung-made and no longer supported operating systems.

The Android 4.2-rom is based on CyanogenMod and can the unit be geflasht via ClockworkMod recovery, as appears from the thread on XDA-Developers. Make Android for Wave devices is not a new project but is already long underway. Now many issues are solved, but the developers warn, however, to equipment that is not too long on the charger, because the battery may explode.

The probability seems great that the development is not long more will continue. The Wave and the Wave II came out in 2010 and so what hardware is concerned are largely the same as the first Galaxy S. Many users of these devices have now moved on to a newer device, so there is not a lot of users more about.

Bada is a Samsung-developed Linux-distro. Samsung has the development ceased in favour of it, together with Intel-developed Tizen. That development, however, is not fast. A long time it seemed that Samsung this year, its first Tizen smartphone on the market, but it has the release until next year postponed.

Update, Tuesday: A warning for exploding batteries to the article added.
