How to open OAP file?
The main problem with Samsung Bada Signed Installation Package is that the OAP file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open OAP, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the OAP file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install bada SDK
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that bada SDK is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing bada SDK into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file OAP.
Programs to open OAP file
Remember to download programs supporting OAP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of bada SDK with OAP files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the OAP file still does not use the bada SDK program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the OAP file with the bada SDK program.
Step 3. Update bada SDK to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the bada SDK program, it is possible that Samsung Bada Signed Installation Package requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Samsung Group website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the OAP file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the OAP file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our OAP file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover OAP files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of OAP file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular OAP file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Samsung Group, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file OAP except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move OAP to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file OAP to close. However, some background programs may block the OAP file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
