Caution
• First and foremost before proceeding backup all your vital data like contacts, files, messages e.t.c because everything, even apps will be wiped out!
• Only works for WAVE 1-S8500
NB: Personally I backed up my contacts using kies then restored them after flashing(this ROM is recognized in KIES).
Procedure
After backing up all your vital information and stopping to worry what might happen to your phone (nothing will happen if you follow the rules, I WAS ALSO VERY AFRAID), do this:
1. Download multiloader version 5.65 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=939158 –(just scroll down the page and you will see a .rar file attached in one of the comments)
2. Download hjsplit from here: http://www.hjsplit.org/windows/
3. Download the first chunk of firmware files from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?yy2bi4o47a8wim9
4. Download the second chunk of firmware files from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?e65mdxedk84kndl
5. Once you have the two files(do not change their file extensions-let them remain as you downloaded them), you have to combine them so open hjsplit , select ‘join’ and select the input file which is the first firmware file you downloaded, the second one will be detected automatically but ensure the two chunks are in the same folder. Select the output folder where your two combined files will be stored in a .rar format called ‘ICS Custom FW S8500XXKK7-OXAKL6’
6. After ensuring the .rar files are not corrupt, just extract the contents of the rar file which now contains the firmware for your wave 1.
7. The folder name is also ‘ICS Custom FW S8500XXKK7-OXAKL6’-same name as .rar file. Save the folder somewhere easily accessible, you shall be accessing its contents later from the multiloader software later as you shall see in the guide video(see 8 below).
8. Now to flash your phone look for the guide video on you tube channel of-tapan15in-just search tapan15in on youtube and look for the video called: UPGARDING ANY VERSION BADA OS TO BADA OS 2.0.1.
9. There are two things the video is not clear on which I’l clarify-to take your phone to download mode, press the down-volume + lock key + power off keys together and also on the video the FOTA files are not included but in this case you will have to include them..just the same way as the others are,as shown on the video, and the file has the word ‘FOTA’ on it so you can’t select the wrong one .
10. After putting that into consideration, now start following the video and after about 20-30 min your wave will be running bada 2.0.
11. NOTE:DON’T PROCEED IF YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!! BUT IF YOU FOLLOW THE VIDEO AND MY GUIDE NOTHING BAD WILL HAPPEN TO YOUR PHONE.
12. After successfully flashing post on the comments here and I’ll explain how to install java apps so that they hide the virtual keypad and fit to screen, a feature lacking on this ROM, but everything else is excellent(there is even an android ICS theme).See here for more details: http://badadownload.com/2012/01/ice-cream-sandwich-s8500xxkk7s8500oxakl6-fw.html#more-9166

Omar Mohamed, 08 Jan 2012No single core phone can record/play 1080p in the whole mar... moreno galaxy S can,mate
and spec sheet is there...could you provide a proof that no single core can render 1080p? Aside from the fact that most companies just opt for trending of using 720p on the single core generation mainly due to marketing strategy
And my point stands, whether you like it or not....1080p is only 2 megapixel...google is our friend here.
and whatever, it is ironic that you believe in what these companies show you as far a trending is concerned and yet you do not believe on what samsung indicated as the galaxy nexus' specs of 5mp 1080p

Finally flashed my Wave I with a custom ROM of bada 2.0 and I do not regret my decision. All of a sudden my aging, boring wave has rejuvenated me..I feel as if I own a totally new Smartphone. The eye-candy and all the features are working perfectly, after also being able to spoof opera mini to hide the virtual key-pad and fit to screen. Those who haven't given it a shot could try it because bada 2.0 might not be coming to you sooner or later, better take a step of faith and go find it...to anyone interested in the process I can post the links and procedure...;)

tizen sounds like "teasin" which in turn teases us bada users that bada, not given as much attention as it deserves, now has to share samsung's attention with another O.S. aside from android...
