Anyone here already tried this new firmware?
what is the changes on this firmware?
thanks
i am sure there won't be any changes
the version for the middle east JPKE1 doesn't have any changes so why will be there any difference for Europe
there is difference my friend, europe was the first with bada 1.2 JL2 the other earth parts got it in late january.
This version has webkit improvements, as the new firmware for wave II and also preperations for bada 2.0, also the pop bug should be solved^^
memory management improved with dolfin.

I installed this firmware with the csc from JL2 (OXC) yesterday.
Today, I uninstalled it and reverted back to old XXJL2.
Why?
No noticeable difference. Design, speed, apps, etc are exactly the same.
No bug fix (GPS is as slow as ever, most apps don't launch e.g Thumpies, AccuWeather.com application, etc).
And lastly, "this device cannot be updated" message in kies (possibly due to use of XXJL2 csc file).
i am quiet confusing about this firmware, lariteo says that there are some improvemets on this firmware but accdg to spacks, there is no changes on this from S8500XXJL2.
it is recommendable to upgrade to this firmware or not?
@spacks excuse me but it seems that you dont even have tested it as you should, you are simple lying the people here. You should sell your device and not harm other peoples intuisazm here. One day for testing wow, that was realy long^^^in one day you cant even test dolfin itself, or not?
@pao9195 http://www.badanation.de/topic.php?t=4770&page=last#last_post
yes german users seems to be very happy with this firmware
as i read and know it from the wave firmware
- POP E-Mail Client don't download deleted Apps anymore
- Dolfin is faster
- Dolfins memory usage is now clean, after closing the app, no more fragmentation
@all if someone test a firmware he should not look at the look of the os, if the verision is the same, than there are only bugfixes and no features, it is still a 1.2 with some bugfixes.
Old apps that dont work they must the developer fix and not samsung, if they dont do that than you can throw them away, i think if i release a app than i am also responsible to update it that it works on feature os versions.
People like you are killing the devs intuisazm and i hate this, leave this section and let here only people talk that are interested in such things, as you read
NO NOOOOOOOOOBS are here allowed. And this is not a joke.
@larioteo
please I was only expressing my observations from the use of the new firmware.
My opinion is not binding on anyone. I may be right or wrong.
I don't need to test the new firmware for a year before I can find out it's pros and cons. I have been with my WAVE for a good time now to detect any slightest change from any firmware on it.
The so-called improvements in the new firmware are already existing in XXJL2.
Anyone is free to test. If you like it, keep it. If not, revert back to XXJL2 like me.
Finally, I still maintain my stand that the new firmware is no better than XXJL2. It appears to me like a mere change of name (version number).
Also facebook and twitter server problems seems to be solved^^
i think this firmware is flashable for everyone.
You should test more than a day every known bug and not only your oppiniouns, than others see if it is for they usable, ok? To say JL2 is better, according to the german forum is false^^
And for your information i got a other similar update for the wave II before two weeks, and i also had a firmware downloader and know a little bit more than you in this way, you should sometimes hear advices of others that are in this section longer and not think that you can know everything about it, how long has you tested it 2 hours?
Man you are killng my time, i have said what is improved, cause i tested it long as it should be. the users can rate who they can more trust
2 weeks against 1 day^^
thanks for that info sir lariteo, i believe in you sir, i will flash my phone to this firmware.
thanks
The most users say there that this firmware can compare to XI5 that was the best until this one.
- Surfing with 5 Tabs and 6 widget pages was possible with this firmware
a user reported that he has opened 5 youtube sites and that he has 6 widget site, and that there is no memory message, as on JL2 before.
as i said before the memory management of dolfin is much better than every firmware before.
hmm it seems that this firmware is recommended to flash.
but i think, nobody are interested on Bada 1.2 updates, instead we are all waiting for the Bada 2.0.1 update right?
a stupid question, why we update to this firmware with some bug fixes if Bada 2.0.1 is coming?
wherein we can directly upgrade our firmware to Bada 2.0.1 without going back to this firmware?
this is one of a practical reason, it is depend on the users if he want this firmware or not.
yes very interestung people cried for an bugfix of jl2 before 2.0 justin hong comfirmed it and promised it, now it is here and some says no important before 2.0, very interesting things.
They have done what many users wanted and know there are bugfixes and a never version and this should not be good?
This is the very wrong way, for they that want to use only bada this update is more than neccessary for the android porters it is nothing but not everyone wants android sone buyed the device to not have android on it think about it. and new versions should be for such people and not for bada haters, easy.
a small bugfix version is a big recommendation and not an unusual flash. if i wiuld be a samsung worker i would disable updates for all hacked devices bada should only be available for evangelist and not for haters like apple it does with new ios.
im successfully upgrade my phone to this firmware and ive noticed some changes from my old firmware S8500XXJK1:
- allow to send blank sms
- facebook have a log out option
- facebook have notification upon opening the application shown at the notification bar.
- when we long pressed some wall post on facebook, we got 3 options; like/comment/cancel or just press the "+" button, this 3 options appear.
- have a brightness settings on Dolfin Browser
I will post again if there is some changes aside from this and please note that this is based from S8500XXJK1 only, i am no longer flashed my phone to S8500XXJL2.

YP2 Firmware RU1.1.81 (for tinkerers only)

Update: Yota did something unusual: they communicated! An employee contacted me with a request to remove the download link. He hints that an official release is not that far away anymore, and that the RU1.1.81 version in this post still has some open issues, so I decided remove the download link for now.
A little something to play with for those who are interested: Yotaphone 2 firmware 1.81 (Russian)
What is it?
- An (as of yet unreleased) yotaphone 2 firmware by Yota Devices
- still based on Lollipop 5.0
- unknown quality: My guess is beta+ quality, maybe some issues
- Russian (RU) version (hardly noticable, some russian apps, additional Cyrillic characters in dialpad of dialer), but runs fine with English language/other locales
- modem firmware is same as e.g. EU, I've had no network connectivity issues so far
- it's a full firmware, so it's not dependent on your current firmware version.
- contains from some new features, like double-tap-to-wake, new widgets and widget sizes, panels background selection, app improvements, security fixes (and who knows: some new Russian backdoors to match? )
- From Yota Devices themselves (signed).
Issues/warnings:
- for some reason unknown to me, Xposed framework won't run on recent versions. Boot never finishes with Xposed installed, the boot animation keeps playing, some background services get restarted over and over.
- This firmware has unknown quality, I've been using this one for a few hours now, looks pretty OK so far.
- If you're not comfortable using TWRP and flashing firmware images, it's probably easiest and safest to wait for an official OTA update.
- My phone showed a missed alarm this morning after having snoozed the first one, not sure if related to this firmware, but be careful not to lose your job
- <download link removed>
A detail which I may have missed until now: YotaReader in ROM 1.8x renders text in high quality (16 colors). See an example of the quality difference in this post here.
It may have been in the app for some time already, did anyone notice this? Backscreen browser does not do the same unfortunately, but at least reading ebooks is nicer now! :good:
Thanks for this dude, very exciting news. Did you get a look at any of the new features / fixes in the new firmware?
Nice that at least some people are paying attention to here ..

I mentioned some new features above, I especially like the double-tap-to-wake (better than swipe gesture) and the improved text quality in YotaReader.
In other news: Xposed (latest version: v78) seems to work again in combination with recent firmwares (it stopped working somewhere after 1.60), so that's good news too for users attached to Xposed.

It wasn't available for me either.
Download from the Play Store the app Firmware Finder and you will be able to get the update via this app.
Just follow the instructions in the video guide in the app.
ALWAYS choose the Full OTA variant.
Unfortunately VKY-L29C636B170 is not yet on the list Firmware Finder.

For me it is on firmware finder, but my huawei p10 plus won't find it on OTA or through HIsuite :/
Both are saying my phone has latest firmware.
So i'm out of ideas how to get it installed over OTA or HIsuite.
just received update today :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
No update here either - In UK but with a dual SIM upgraded phone - on VKY-L29C636B124.
I received today OTA VKY-L29C636B170 in Europe.
It is also now on the list Firmware Finder to download.

Just got it via Hi-Suite - installed without a hitch. 3D camera mode is cool!
If phone offers B171, don't download it, battery life decreased drastically
Is it for B636? Is it bad.?
is it me or the firmware ? Low light photography quality has degraded after the last 2 updates. This update is the worst!
Auto-mode, same lightning condition, now takes darker photos..
Manual 3200ISO, 1/4 sec, also takes darker photo compared to previous firmware version. B123 was the best!.
I think u need to perform full reset... Might fix it

When will we get or will we get the Update to Android Oreo?

I'm on B130 and I'm not sure if we get that Update. If anyone has an information, please let us know!

I choose this phone over the Honor 8 because of the camera.....!
Since is very difficult to obtain information about this model, I really don't know if it's just a feeling that you've got about the camera or it's really poorer...it's what happened to Honor 6x after updating to Nougat...
Why are you feeling that the camera is poorer....?

It seems like, that the Pictures at bad light conditions, are more poor then before the Update.
At good weatherconditions, the Pictures are really good (like before)
Macro Picutes are also good.

See major changes in abow notes. For daily use, it's not recommended. Since it is a daily version, you have to update it daily and if you are not registered before some internal version letters will be on screen.Wait for beta. If you wait a bit more, stable will be released.:fingers-crossed:
