[Request] LG Optimus One - Orange UK Original ROM - Optimus One, P500, V General

Request is in the title - the LG Optimus One from Orange UK contains the Orange Signal Boost (UMA) software that would be useful to get working on other android phones with networks which support UMA. The topic is here but I've cross-posted here in case the topic gets lost in the general forum.

Here you go, This should be the original Orange V10C_00 firmware for your phone:

I was thinking maybe someone with the Optimus One could just backup the apk for Orange Signal Boost and post that. I have tried expanding the rom posted in the link and have got as far as the mbn files and boot.img etc but I don't know how to get at the apk's...

---

Bump
Could any owner of optimus one share that app with us ?
please

---

Again, please anyone! We just need a backup of the apk to get started!

Ok, I managed to unpack the KDZ file but still couldn't find a way extract the Orange Signal Booster apk from boot.img file; so if anyone has backup of the apk it would be greatly appreciated.

---

I tried the same thing but had no luck. If you had the handset you could use a number of different apps (astro, titanium backup) to make a backup of the .apk file with very little technical knowledge.
It would be god send if we could get this app running on other handsets...

Here is the APK!
OK here is the APK which I have extracted from the ROM image. I tried installing it on my desire and it FCs as soon as I attempt to run it. If anyone else wants to get onboard with this please do!

---

Hi ballandbiscuit, many thanks for the APK. Tried it on my HTC DHD and had the same FC result as you. As far as I can tell, this is not a hardware restriction but possibly the result of other system services required by the app not installed on the handset.
I really wish someone from Orange with a bit of technical knowhow would get involved and assist us with this much needed feature.

what about some kind of logging? maybe it say something...

Having looked at some other posts regarding the T-Mobile US UMA app, which is also Kineto based I think it will take a lot of work to get this functioning. It appears to need some libraries such as...
libkento
linganril
librilswitch
and also some changes to the kernel as per this thread

I don't know if this was ever ported to devices other than the N1. It is shame that it requires more than just an app. Orange should be pushing this to all Android handsets. I don't use my phone at home for calls or texts because the signal is too weak, this is a loss for both myself and Orange because they don't get to charge me for calls I don't make. My wife has a Vodafone Sure Signal box which is brilliant but Orange don't offer such a device...

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
