Guys ..

How do you show the hiden (edit) menu at the lower part of the screen .. like contacts settings / whatsapp settings etc ?? i'm talking about the left button function on Galaxy S phones .
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DanADaMan:
I got the newest ios rom to load - I downloaded the file again and this time didn't get the not-signed error.

I too like this latest version. Only issue I now have is the gps is totally dead. In the previous two ios versions, the gps was very slow and could take up to 30 minutes to find my location. Now it never finds my location.

Is your GPS working??

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
Nope... Never managed to do so in Greece where I live... :(

Gooapple V5 - Google contacts BUG?

Hello,

im a new owner of this phone and use the ANDROID Rom 7.12.11 (because Performance of Iphone ui is really bad) had following problems:

1. GPS dont work (symbol is seen then start any GPS-app like google maps or so, but never get an loc) !?

2. Phone is not able to sync contacts between my google account. Under Android sync settings the point contacts not exists. Only Google books + Google email.

Any idea whats wrong? :confused:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
These are known issues I'm afraid. GPS & Wifi issues are common an all builds; also the contacts sync problem. If you read on the top of this thread there is a rather big list that a guy from Kiev is trying to communicate with the company that builds this phone. Hopefully it will get better.

In my opinion the best and faster release so far is the latest iOS version (gooapple_ios_11.12.08.zip) of the rom.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] llcoolam:
My contact sync worked well when I downloaded Google contacts sync adapter

Just install it (attached) and then do the contact sync again and voila :cool:

Good luck!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
That seems to do it! Thanks llcoolam!!!! :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] llcoolam:
Yay, I helped! Stay tuned cos I'm gonna root and play with the config files to get the WiFi signal stronger, just need to do some reading cos I've been an iPhone bod since the first one came out and I've missed out on SO much Android! Joined this site years ago and have not had the need to visit, only really been on other forums for IOS jailbreaking...:D

I am tempted to get an M1 to get into ICS too though :p

---------- Post added at 11:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:15 PM ----------

PS: thank me if I helped!! :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Alpha_Nova:
Hey, thats the Solution! Very cool! Contact-sync is working now! :) THX!

PS: Same issue i see while Google-Calender sync! Maybe we can install a Google calender sync adapter also to be able to sync this.

I searched for File GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk, but dont found a version which able to install under IOS-Rom.

I got an "not installed" (assume that it must be signed or something)

:confused:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
GooApple V5 Calendar Sync (signed)

This is confirmed to be working. I followed this procedure:

1. Rebooted phone

2. Installed the app

3. Opened Settings->account & Sync.

There you go! ;)

PS: Courtesy of the nice guys over @ Cyanogenmod.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Alpha_Nova:
My Gooapple use a standard "android E3 recovery" (english). This recovery is not able to install selfsigned apps :-(

How you sign this apk-package for install? You flashed a alternate Recovery on the Gooapple Phone?

PS: by the way - IT WORKS ! Many many thx!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
Every app MUST be signed in order to run on an emulator or device. There's a procedure to do so. You can enlighten yourself by clicking here:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Alpha_Nova:
Gooapple V5 location services GPS / WLAN / GSM

thank you macsga. I will spend time on self certificating apk,s on weekend.

Is GPS or the networkbased locationservice running on your phone?

If i use Google maps it cant find any location. Not via GPS but also not via GSM network which is aviable all over :-) I found that android use a service app called NetworkLocation.apk for this.

But NetworkLocation.apk is not installed on my V5, maybe thats the problem.

I cant try and install it until i,m able to certificate by myself. I attached NetworkLocation.apk from gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip (Gooapple V5 dont accept it, dont know why), maybe someone can try to enable location service.

regards Alpha
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Dj Pepe:
Im very interested in this phone. Is it good fol checking internet, facebook, listening music (have good 3,5mm jack?). Run smooth games like Defender or Tap Tap Revenge? (can someone try?). Maybe Ill change my xperia neo for this one. Thanks for answers. And flash is working?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
I have experimented a bit with this. I noticed that the specific file (NetworkLocation.apk) is not located inside the /system/app/ so I c/pasted it inside and rebooted the phone. I noticed that after that, when I opened the Maps it asked me to logon to my google account (something that was weird, since I was already logged in).

I did used another account of mine to login (again) but unfortunately, no cigar. I'll try another apk i've found but my guess is that we'll be needing a device specific one...

[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
It's good for everything you're stating above. It has a 3.5 jack too and plays really well. As for the games you're asking: Both play fine, even though TTR states that the phone doesn't meet minimal requirements, it plays awesomely. As I stated before on this post, this phone is a great performer on games. And for the money it asks; IMHO its a fair deal.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Dj Pepe:
Thank you for your reply. Can you make a benchmark test with quadrant standart application? And post here relsut? Thank you!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
Error -120. Quadrant standard won't run on this phone...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Dj Pepe:
And any other benchmark application? Like antutu benchmark or cf-bench? Can u try?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Cyber_Dude:
Quadrant Advanced works fine with it. The results:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
Thanks for the post Cyberdude. I always wanted to see how this device performs. CPU is rather good, on the contrary to my beliefs that the 3D performance was its strong point. Interesting...

Good evening guys, a week ago I installed the rom of mayiandjay the IOS_12.01.26.

Now my question is: what is the best rom... I already have the rom, or the bestrom of macsga? and what are the differences?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tsukeyomi:
Guys, i think 3G version of this mobile is out now. No infos on the official site but FastCardTech has it:

Gooapple V6

Price is a bit higher than V5 and it doesn't come in white color.

Anyone know why the root process in mayjays video comes to the error

Press any key to continue.....

[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
It looks to me you don't have the proper drivers installed, or the 1st part of the process didn't manage to root your phone. Download superoneclick and try rooting your phone and THEN re-run the chinese root.

Good Luck.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Backthen:
I tried superoneclick and it gave me the same error, I think it's a driver error.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Backthen:
I downloaded the driver from this post and it shows up as corrupt/not configured correctly. Any idea why? I'm ready to pull my hairs out.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] von275:
Try using superoneclick, it will automatically install the needed drivers to root. If not try copying the file in root-rec to android-sdk\platform-tools.

Also, guys I am making a android app where you can download gooapple roms, so if you have any please send me the link, name and tell me if gps and wifi location are working you send it to web-fla@hotmail.com, the members section on my website inbox me on this website(i don't often check my inbox's) macgsa send me the link of your rom

HI, nobody seems to want to comment on 3G?

Has anybody successfully purchased the goophone 4gs 3g from etotalk.com or anywhere else?

Is it even officially available?

Any dates?

Thanks in advance.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Maxvert:
I think that is not true. The Chinese often write things that are not true. On the Gooapple official site still no mention of a 3G version ...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Backthen:
Ok I finally got my phone rooter and am about to flash bestromv2.

Is it possible to flash this with another recovery other than the chinese one? such as the superoneclick recovery or clockworkmod?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dres94:
macsga I like your rom but is unresponsive, then I really liked the browser on rom mayiandjay

A bit slower than the previous (bestrom v.1) I can accept it; but unresponsive??

Again, this is a whole new rom as you may have read on the release page and it's out as an alternative, since in this one GPS is somewhat functional (in v.1 it was not). Anyway; you can report any issues you might have in the release thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=22569712

Thanks.

@von275: GREAT job dood. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dres94:
yes the rom responds but it's a bit slower
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
Using the provided SGTools you can open build.prop and then press the (-) button for 2 secs. Choose "FREE EDIT" and add this line:

windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=220 which Makes scrolling smoother.

Save via pressing again (-) for 2 secs. Choose save. Reboot.

Hope this helps.

so i installed the beautiful rom, now when i root via chinese recovery i dont get the chinese recovery options only the defalt gooapple rom options. how to i get it into chinese recovery....am using mandjays rom atm please help.

Root it again with root-rec, it should then boot in Chinese recovery.

New ROMs from manufacturerare ready, but not available for downloading from another countries. Downloading starts then suddenly die...

Check out my website, we have better rom than the manufacturer: www.anexonel.tk
[Miscellaneous Android Development] silkwort:
von275, one of these ROMs works great in white goophone 4gs, but in gooapplev5 new black all this custom ROMs failed after booting. I don't know why. All phones rooted by "mayianday youtube method", same operations but different results.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
You will have to do a factory reset / clear Dalvik Cache after the recovery. Also if your phone fails to boot try resetting it with the included minisim pin (press gently deep into the earphone jack, there's a hard reset button). Wait 30", then press power on. It will power up.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] silkwort:
In chinese ClockWorkMode is this point 3 and 4 in main menu? Do it both & reboot, right?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
Exactly. If you do the 3rd it automatically does the 4th but I do them both (just in case) ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] silkwort:
Thanks for your help, inspires for new experiment ;)

Keep trying to translate menu points to english from chinese. 2 of them are unknown

Hi. Guys. Really glad to find this site. I have bought a GooAPPLE V5 4gb, from android sale. There is some question i wanted to ask. When i use Android assistant, i check

1. RAM is 452.61mb...should bee 512mb.

2. ROM 170.12mb......should bee 512.

3. SD card 7.38 Gb......i have ordered 4 Gb

I asked them why is this , they insist that this phone has 512 rom, and 512 ram

---------- Post added at 10:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:38 AM ----------

Some more question. I have installed rom 26.01.2012..Which one is best until now. Fastest and with good wifi signal.

I have installed viber but every time i restart the phone the contact list gets empty .

And skype is not working with this phone.

Thanks to all the good guys here
[Miscellaneous Android Development] von275:
For the ram, it is normal, Ex: 8 gig sd card shows 7.38 gigs. For the rom, I just found out that mine is also 170(it is a bit too late for me to fill a claim) o.O

Hy von275 for the market i use an alternate market because the original market doesn't work....

I would like to root and put a new rom, from Rom Kang RC 7.2 i use on my ZTE V9 and work great, but other people have try, so in this M99 i don't know what i can do, and even how to see if the rom is or not compatibility with my phone.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] von275:
For the orignal market, download vending.apk and put it in /system/app ( you need to root it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_INUs0OdopQ&feature=g-upl&context=G28760a8AUAAAAAAAFAA )

Hi! Everyone is me again! mayiandjay! Believe it or not I have read every posting since I been out. Well just want to let you guys know that I am working on a cool rom and is coming soon! I TRIED THE "bestrom.v.2" and "bestrom.v.1" they are very nice and very speedy. But it is also taking some cool features away to. Like the multitasking doesn't work well, and some other minor things, but otherwise is very well built. I am trying something that will change some bad things to good. Well keep posted!

Dood Mayiandjay is baaack!!! wooow!:D

Now on to the good stuff. Von275 your latest implementation rocks - superfast, smooth scrolling, nice GPS fix (at last) and networklocation. I have to add a few things for you and others though.

There are some f/c issues that won't go away if you reset/format data /clear cache. The one is with Gallery3d (I've included the apk) and the other is with AccountAndSyncSettings.apk. Just in case; I've included into the submitted zip both settings.apk & SettingsProvider.apk (plus respective odex files); but most possible you won't be needing them.
