Orange UK UMA App - HTC Desire S

Hi,
I believe that the UK Orange Desire S features the UMA app for Orange Signal Boost. Can anyone confirm this? If so I am hoping that it can be ported to other HTC devices...

I wish it was, but Orange don't have the Desire S in their shop yet.
I have just got an upgrade on Orange to a Desire S through phones4u, once I have finished setting it up I'll check with a different sim, but it appears to be sim free.
No signal boost app, no root yet AKAIK, I also have a LG P500 from work on Orange which does have the app. Haven't successfully moved the app to a different phone yet though.
Would really really like UMA on the DS though.
Interestingly I had a call from Orange the other day doing a survey, how good is your signal, are you aware of UMA sort of questions. Told them the best thing they could do for me would be to release the signal boost app for all android phones.
Any news on this would be very welcome.
EDIT:: Just checked, it's sim free. Bonus.

I have a DS on Orange (sent from orange on an upgrade last fri) I dont know what 'UMA App' is, but the DS does have 'Signal Boost' it uses the wireless network in your home from what I understand.

Does it have loads of orange branding too? There must be a way of getting the apk out.
I've tried various Kineto.apk installs, even had a different rom on the LG, but it would always FC so I went back to the stock orange rom.
How would we go about getting the apk out? Astro, Ti backup?
EDIT: - Going to try the Orange Rom in this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002506 Thread

Signal Boost is the UMA app. I have also tried a few Kineto install but with no luck, I believe it might actually rely on some things in the kernel which don't normally exist.

No luck with the Orange rom, 131 error. I wonder if Orange CS will be any use?

Did you download the ROM, extract the .apk then load it onto your device? What device did y ou try it on?

I've extracted the system.img and found MS-SAGA-KNT20-02-A0-GB.apk which installs the Signal Boost app, force closes though.
Looked at a few of the other packages there and some are interesting in that they won't install as an apk, must be running or permissions issues.
If I could get round the 131 error on installing the Orange rom I'd be happy.

I am pretty sure it needs a compatible kernel too. If you look at the threads regarding loading the T-Mobile wifi app (also Kineto) onto the N1 you will see what I mean. Shame but I can't see anyone with the required skills picking this up to make it work on many devices.

Had a call from Orange CS yesterday, unable to install app or rom on unbranded phone.
Anyone know someone with an XTC clip in the south west - Cornwall / Devon?

Okay, I just had a little luck with the UMA application.
Not quite there yet though.
BASICALLY, I have come to understand that the application extracted from various Roms FC cuz they are missing other files they depend on from the ROM.
I was using Orange Signal Boost apk from the Orange Desire S rom (am attaching it) on my HTC Legend.
Then I came across stories of someone in US who had extracted an apk from so Tmobile Rom for wifi calling and made it to work on a Nexus 1. I downloaded that files (also attached). This file was a modded version of original apk and had all the dependant files. (and consequently was 3mb vs 600kb of Orange signal boost)
So what I tried was
1. Install tmobile wifi app
2. Install Orange signal boost on TOP of it. It will ask you that this progam will replace another older program on your phone. Clcik okay.
3. What this does is leave old installed files needed from tmobile app and this time LO AND BEHOLD, signal boost app launches without FC
Here comes the problem though, it doesnt work, cuz somewhere hardcoded in the files that the tmobile app installs is the network info and naturally, our sims being orange are recognized as invalid sim.
Me and a LOT of other people would REALLY appreciate it if someone with any knowhow can look at this and figure it out for us

The main difference is that the large apk contains lib/armeabi/libkineto.so
Can you get the libkineto.so from the Desire S?

Its not just a question of extracting the .apk which is easy enough, there are lots of other dependencies which are a nightmare to reverse engineer.

Hmm, While its great to see people have started to try and extract the UMA signal boost application, it does look like (atm at least) any users that wish to keep the UMA signal boost functionality will have to keep with the original stock orange ROM.
On the subject of dependencies how likely is it that there are closed/proprietary libraries are being used? The reason I ask is given the nature of the android platform and the number of open source notices in the pre-installed UMA application, it may be possible to work out the library dependencies from the open source notices. If anyone is interested in taking this further I can take screenshots of these open source notices (unless you can think of an easy way to extract the text).
I also noticed I seem to be running a slightly newer version on the UMA applicaion. I seem to be running MS-HTCSM-KNT20-02-A0-GB-12 on my stock orange rom.

what exactly does this app? is is some kind of a software implemented pico BTS for 3G? like the ones vodafone offers to plug in at home with bad reception, where it uses your internet connection to provide better signal at home?

Got it
Sent from my HTC Desire S

I take it no one knows any more about this?
The stock orange rom is driving me mad, I think I'm have to live without the UMA signal boost application on another rom.

Maybe it needs a certificate?
Hi all. If you look at how UMA is set up on unlocked Blackberry's they have to enter UNC & SEGW server address' and choose a certificate to use. The addresses may or may not be hard coded in to the signal boost apk, I would guess they're not but maybe the certificate isn't. I read somewhere that the certificates are stored in system/etc/security/cacerts.bks if that helps?

OK, I got an idea, dunno how good it is but I can't test it since I'm not an Orange and don't have a Sense ROM installed.
You've said that it's not working cause application looks for Tmobile as network info (at least is what I've understood). What you can try is to install from market MarketEnabler application and "fake" T-Mobile network. It fools Android Market enough to gain access to it as if you're on T-Mobile, even if you're living on the other side of the globe and on different network. It should trick this application as well. Give it a try and tell me if it's working

That widget's been part of the chunghwa release for a while now and ported to some builds already. This dump is not odexed, so the widget can just be tossed into a regular hero rom and it should work (as long as it's framework version 2.73)

since the TV app requires the mobile connection (even makes you turn the wifi off!!), it's very likely that Sprint has their tv service blocked at a low network level with only certain source address ranges whitelisted
in other words, a workaround is probably pretty darn tough
maybe someone can work some iptables magic..?
Ya we gotta see if we can find a work around for the tv. The Sprint navigation also works.
well i gave the sprint widgets a shot on Cyanogen 4.1.999 Android 1.6 and at least the NFL MOBILE LIVE widget works... used a wifi connection, but installed via astro and it is like sports center in that btich... its greaT!!
scrolling marque of scores, living sprint voting polls, highlights per game, etc...
if you havent, enjoy, looks like these new dumps bring extra greatness to the android system!
Hay this is only my 2 cents worth cus I'm not A developer but I had both sprint tv(on my rasor no less) and 'MobTV' on my palm TX(via wifi). I understood that sprintTV was 'MobiTV'. however I just went to there web site and they don't list t-mobile or android as a sign up option.
again this is only what I've observed ( I would like to get TV on my G1, its one thing I miss from sprint but sprint didn't get android in time for me)
WiFi + BT on Sense UI.. yet??
Does this mean WiFi and Bluetooth are closer to being able to be implemented into a hero rom yet?? I recall reading that it will be much easier to implement once devs are capable of getting some sort of new dump. Or do we need to wait for an official dev rom upload comes out? Sorry for splattering ignorance in this thread!

Swype from 2.07 rom required

HI can anyone tell me where to get new skype from 2.07 rom ???
thanks in advance.
You won't find anyone with it here. The best solution is to simply flash to a ROM that has it.
I have so much data on phone can't backup all of it so dont wana change rom for time being........
Im not sure where to grab the version of swype that has been extracted from the 2.07 rom... i am trying to find it myself!
The swype cab created from the version ripped from the Samsung Omnia 2 is all over the web though... google should bring up a couple of places to download it from.
Does anyone know of any differences between the two versions?

You will have to search in the underground... Extracting the software and offering it as a cab is clearly not wanted by the creators and owners of the software. Offering links to warez is completely against xda rules.
The difference between the 2 might be some more language support, and that the HD2 version was made for HD2, as simple as that. I think it still might be an option to flash a ROM which carries it on board - or, at least, as long as this is tolerated.
Maybe in the close future, HTC will bring another ROM update which offers this great piece of software. Or, as stated otherwise, Swype might decide to make a retail offer at some time. If they do at a decent price, I believe they could do great business - as seen with other products, at unreasonably high prices, you won´t sell big, but at fair pricing, you can succeed.
I cannot find the new version anywhere!
If anyone has a link or would like to email it to me that would be very much appreciated!!

I had the same thing, only installed yesterday so didn't do much checking of the phone. Quite a few problem were caused by the T-Mobile version . Data connection is screwed and all email passwords needed to be reset and my Wifi password are also gone lol. Did some reading online as well and quite a few other people have experienced the same problems, some have even had to HARD RESET to get their phones working correctly, fortunetly for me just uninstalling the CAB and giving the phone a few minutes resolved my Data connection issues , will put back on the Omnia version and leave it at that for the time being.
So I advice using the newest version of Swype with EXTREME caution!!!!
I tried it after much hesitation... Had to do a new setup for all email accounts, data connection and wifi connection. But it seems to be fine now, I'll see in a few days if it stays like that.
I'm using SWYPE WVGA 3.9.10.10.5032 on my HD2 without any problems.

Had the same, but all I had to do was re-enter the passwords (and mail servers for gmail) and re-run the connection setup wizard. Now I'm fine and dandy and the software is nothing short of awesome... Supports Italian, German, French, English and Spanish; I tested all languages and it works fine
I'd say it is a crucial addition to the HD2, as I use it every day, and it makes my text input much less of a chore. It is particularly useful because of its multi-language support. I've never had any problems like those described, thankfully.
have you guys done any soft resets since the initial reset after installation? I also found the keyboard became slow to start after I played with the setting. the omnia 2 version is working better for me and with the htc skin looks awesome.

I can't believe no one else posted this...
If you overwrite the ModelID with the file provided, you are effectively telling your phone that you are now....a...tmobile hd2.
The swype keyboard has protection in it...only a tmobile hd2 will work with it.
hence why you need the modelid
now here is the kicker...
Say sprint - you run sprint tv. get an error. wanna know why? sprint asks "what phone" and your phone replies "tmobilehd2.
Same thing with prl updates...
I think you get the point...
when you overwrite the modelid, all exchange accounts - gone (sorta). Your 4 digit pin become a lockout - no pin will unlock it.
in short, bad things happen.
And this is why you always provision your phone before you set it up. part of provisioning is setting the modelid...
which is why people on mighty that forgot to provision before seting up exchange need that fix e-mails cab...
any questions?

@leepriestenator, if I don't use any provider software, I can install swype without any problem right ?
leepriestenator is correct. Thanks. As our phones are all unlock where we are, the problem is just resetting the mobile provider. It is working fine on my phone, though the phone identity is now T-mobile_Leo.
Having said that, it is a much improved version over the one in Samsung.

[Q] skype not available in android market

Hi guys,
I just bought a new HTC inspire with froyo 2.2 from ATT in the US unlocked. Now I sent this phone to my bro in Peru, where he had a HTC aria without any problems.
Phone works great but we can not install skype. We can not even find it in the android market. I tried to download it from skype.com/m but I cant. It says (this item is not available in your carrier). However as I told you he has an HTC aria with the same phone carrier and uses skype there without a problem.
How can I fix this ????
Thanks

Have you tried turning off data and accessing the market through wifi only?
If the phone is rooted use market enabler not sure if works with unrooted ones, also try 4shared app from 4shared.com to find Skype apk, can have issues tho until u download the right apk for ur device
Problem fixed!
I had Skype up and running on my Android, but my phone's hardware died and went to Hades. I received a replacement phone; when I tried to re-load Skype, I found it didn't even show up on the Android Market! I tried other application download engines, as well as the download link from Skype.Com, all with the same result.
After hours of agonizing with Skype and Sprint tech support, and getting nowhere, I spent about 7 hours reviewing, over and over, my Android's settings. I finally resolved it thus:
1. Open the Android Market
2. Choose "Settings."
3. Change the "Content Filtering" maturity rating to "Medium."
And that's it! I don't understand why Skype requires a slightly immoral maturity rating, since the app is positively "G" rated, and I've already complained to them about that.
Good luck!

You won't be able to connect to 3G on that phone running T-Mobile. They use different 3g bands and it is hard coded into the hardware. As for mms you need to make sure your apn is correct
So it will only work with AT&T?

Custom ROM for HTC Mondrian (Surround)
I have tried using the custom ROMs by DFT and Ansar, but the Intrinsic ROM seems to be the best. It has 7.10.7740.16 version and Internet Sharing. TouchExplorer and Registry Editor work on it. I have only two issues - TouchExperience is throwing an unhandled exception error and i am not able to update to 7.10.8107.79 through Zune.
An update - i didn't want to continue using a ROM which doesn't allow updates, so i tried Ansar's RUU_Surround_Cingular_US_4.03.502.01_Radio_5.69.09.05a_22.50.50.21U_NT_Mango_7720 again.
Again, Zune did not show the 7740 and 8107 updates, but i was able to install them using WP7+Update+Cab+Sender.
So i finally have what i was looking for - an unlocked phone which can be upgraded to tha latest os version.
Almost ideal, except for one key ingredient missing - Internet Connection Sharing. I've tried DiagProvXMLv0.91_IS and it has resulted in the internet sharing option showing under Settings. However, i get an error msg 'Internet sharing isn't enabled yet' when i try to turn on the feature.
Hoping that Ansar will read this post and provide a solution soon!

awesome thanks for supporting DFT team
I'm a Chinese.....
When Use CDMA,I send Chinese SMS is correct,but the other who received is incorrect.
It's all right when use GSM.

ok awesome feedback will add this to the info as soon as someone else confirm it
Diag mode?
Does diagnostic mode work with this rom? I loaded it OK but when I dial ##634# it stays stuck on "loading"
This is a free phone I got from the Microsoft giveaway, I'd like to put it on Cricket if I can but I can't get it into diag mode.

that i have no idea lets see if someone else have an answer
As an FYI I did not try ##634# in the stock verizon mango rom the phone came with, so it may have nothing to do with the new rom. I'm playing with the device on wifi only but would like to get it on PST and put it on a non contract so I can play with it with CDMA as well, see if I want to jump from android to win mobile 7.
So maybe I should have asked this in another thread, but I will wait and see if anyone knows this answer here.
Thanks!

When send SMS with Chinese, others will receive"_______"
Use FileExplorer,Reinstall “ServiceTools_01.provXML” and “EmbeddedTool.provxml” in “windows” folder.
That didn't seem to change anything, it still hangs on loading field test.
Can someone with this ROM verify ##634# or ##3282# works for them?

My phone work with ##3282# but ##634# not work it hangs on field test loading ...
Thanks, mine hangs on field test loading with both (as well as a couple other codes that HTC has used, either they do nothing or they hang)
I guess when I have time I will go back to the stock rom and see if it fixes it, unless someone else has a better idea. I need to change prl's at the very least to get it off verizon and onto a carrier that I can do prepay with.
I wish I knew more about windows 7, I have a 6.1 sprint touch pro, but this is completely different. Android is a mess but at least I can QPST it.
Before getting started with my post, I BEG any possible cookers, PLEASE PLEASSEEEEE do not take mwangs rom and repackage/rerelease it as your own work. He's already royally pissed off at GoldC users for stealing his hard work and then them taking donations for it.

This seems to be an issue with Spark_W's drivers. No clue when we can expect a fix, but this issue seems present in the stock rom as well. Verizon/HTC will prob need to update this in a driver fix... and who knows if they will ever do another official update for our phone. GoldC users are in the same boat with updates as us, so I'm wondering how many shared issues they have (I think the SMS issue is one, but they are stuck on CDMA only mode, unlike us).
I'm guessing this issue wasn't caught my them because HTC/Verizon didn't test the phone enough with input other then English/Spanish.

No, this appears to be related to the usage of Cotulla's full unlock.
The only fix for this right now is to cook the rom without Cotulla's full unlock.. but in that case you wouldn't have full unlock. For now, just do any additional programming you need to do with stock rom. I will post some links to "recooked" stock roms I have created that will work with HSPL in another thread. *edit* You can find the HSPL stockish roms here. They are the same as stock, except no SPL/RADIO/Spanish.
As for switching to cricket, I'm not sure how easy it would be to flash a new PRL to it, since it isn't as simple as it was in WM6.5 phones using ##PRL. I think you may still be able to use QPST, but I think you need to boot the phone in diag/bootloader mode. I wrote a custom diag driver to do stuff like this (You'd need to uninstall Zune to make it work right. @[email protected]), and I know it allowed QPST to connect to the phone and read data, but I never tired updating the PRL.
Other known issues with this rom:
You CANNOT program with *228. mwang has confirmed this with me that this is an issue with him removing a driver, and it will be fixed in next rom he releases. Only fix for now is to program the phone before flashing DFT Freedom at this time. In short: Don't perform a factory reset with DFT Freedom for Verizon Trophy at this time! Otherwise you'll have to flash a different rom to program your phone successfully. (Without the driver required, if you attempt to program using this version of DFT Freedom for VZW Trophy, the phone will act like its programming, but will not get an authentication key, so you will get an error "We cannot currently authenticate your phone").
Some users have reported poor voice recondition. I can concur with this, but no fix so far. I'll have to try running a file compare on registry files to see if mwang tweaked any registry settings that might affect voice recondition and report it to him/yous peoples if I find anything. I don't have much free time anymore since I am employed again.
It also seems football released a new stock rom a few days ago. I'm guna go see what that's all about... maybe we'll get the SMS fix (a newer radio would be nice too) and a new official SYS (I won't hold my breath for that one!).
