Yes, something like that is going to help in my opinion.

It's not a bad idea but i think most of the people would stay, meet and seek help here on XDA. You can try to open the forum on your webpage and see how it does! ;)

But honestly i think the best place to talk and help each other it's right here. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
I think a new thread regarding the 3G roms should be made. I went along and made my own here on xda-developers for the 'regular' one releasing the roms I've tinkered and found 'best working'.

I don't think that a new forum should be opened, since a lot of work is needed for maintenance (as a forum mod for several years, I know... you can use this time building new roms instead;) ) and because of the fact that xda-dev is a place that combines several 'relative' matters to our phone (ie: like other MTK6573 cpu based phones and rom releases).

If all goes well, I will soon release my flavor too... stay tuned.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] white-k:
I think there is a public desire for a forum for the GooApple. It totally lacks a center-point with facts and answers clearly listed.

This place is easily missed (I researched the GooApple for days before stumbling into this thread). Thus I believe most people will never find their way here.

That being said, like macsga wrote, a forum may take a lot of time. And also, like he said we rather have you working on good roms :-)

But some sort of compilation of facts (maybe a FAQ) would be good. Or people will be asking the same questions over and over.

You did start a FAQ on your site, right? That's a good initiative!

Ya I started it but no one asks questions ;(

The forum i wanted to made was a built-in application btw.Ill see how it look on my website.

I checked the forum application and it well made.So no need to be Genius to make it work. If you want I can still open it
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
Von, with all due respect, it's not setting up the forum that requires time. It's the maintenance that will be time consuming. The more visitors; the more the hours on the clock. If you insist on making it; I endorse you to. I'll be regular there too. :)

Come on guys.

von275 has now started a forum for GooApple / GooPhone! :)

Let's all join the discussions over there!:

http://www.anexonel.tk/
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mayiandjay:
What I meant is to start a new discussion here on XDA for the Gooapple V5 3G. Also I really hope that it takes 3g network because if not then I wasted time and money :/

I been wondering if there might be a rooting tool for it yet? Huummm well lets see!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Stevenious:
Hey hope to here more about this phone like gps and 3g ;) if the know issues are now fixed or only a new motherboard with a 3g modem ;)

Hope to read more..I think its really helpful to start a ney thread for 3g.

@von the keyboard issue is there every time you turn off or on the phone. But if you don`t turn it off it`s working..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tsukeyomi:
Something is wrong here. My post in this thread about the new V5 3G thread is disappeared, as well as the new V5 3G thread itself. What's going on?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] von275:
Did you changed the permissions?If not use another keyboard or the market version because mine works
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kleber.marques:
Can someone help me please?

I'm trying to install the new room of anexonel, but

when I try to root my gooapple with mayiandjay video, the system show me:

error: device not found

Why this happens??
[Miscellaneous Android Development] von275:
Did you installed adb?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
Hmmm. I'm *really* curious why the video didn't go on the Z-test 'CPU' Screen... I can't but believe the 1.2GHz MTK6573 processor is 600 multiplied with the 400MHz GPU and devided by 200 for some reason... ;)

In any case, let's wait for a confirmed hardware specs source that we can trust before running and buy one, yes?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kleber.marques:
Hi von275, thanks for help!

I'm not instaled adb, where do I install the adb?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tsukeyomi:
Ok, it seems like the V5 3G thread has been reopened. :)

We can discuss about this "new" product over there. I think mayiandjay will receive the phone shortly, so it could be that he'll release a new ROM soon.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kleber.marques:
First I extract the files and clicked adb (a screen appears briefly and then closes)

then I clicked root and this message appears (error)

How the phone must be in USB mode settings?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
Make sure you go into the Settings->Applications->Development and check all three tick boxes. Then connect your phone to the pc. Most possible at this time it will ask you to install the ADB-Device driver, go ahead and do it (point to the right dir where drivers are located - as an extra step download SuperoneClick - it has the drivers inside).

Then run the ChineseRoot.

More info: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21847185&postcount=198

Goodluck
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kleber.marques:
Adb files that need to be installed are the ones who are in the same folder ChineseRoot?

I installed another folder that was downloaded.

If these are the best option is to install the correct files to another PC or uninstall I installed and then install the correct ones? It has to do this?

Thanks for the help!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
Yes. Chinese root will automatically run adb for you (there's a bat file). Go to the above link and follow the steps as stated, you will find out it's easier than you think.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] von275:
Follow this tutorial on how to install adb: http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/

[Miscellaneous Android Development] medicuk:
Toasted my GooApple V6

After a long conversation with the online support at fastcardtech, regarding the fact that my gooapple v6 didnt support 3g. I endevoured to try some V5 roms, via the SP Flash program....

You know whats coming....

It was all going swimmingly well (apart from my inability to get a CWM to work... i know now why!) until i struck upon the idea of flashing the boot.img from the V5... big mistake.

My question / plea is does anyone have a gooapple V6 (i know its not a gooapple) and if so do they have access to its boot.img (and the rest if possible).

If you are rooted, it is a simple task of

$su

#cat /proc/mtd

dev: size erasesize name

mtd0: 00040000 00020000 "misc"

mtd1: 00500000 00020000 "recovery"

mtd2: 00280000 00020000 "boot"

mtd3: 04380000 00020000 "system"

mtd4: 04380000 00020000 "cache"

mtd5: 04ac0000 00020000 "userdata"

# cat /dev/mtd/mtd1 > /sdcard/mtd1.img

# cat /dev/mtd/mtd2 > /sdcard/mtd2.img

thanks for listening to my plea..

I have ordered a gooapple V5 3G and I promise the first thing I will do is back the damn thing up :-)

Cheers

MedicUK
[Miscellaneous Android Development] winnipegsubaru:
question (I assume i missed it somewhere in this thread)

everyone keeps asking if they deleted the cache.

Which cache are we talking about and how do we delete it?

thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] von275:
Cache in CWM recovery.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] winnipegsubaru:
its an option?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] von275:
Yeah

This is the device found and installed the USB MT65xx Android Phone, but when I click on the file 4GS root-rec same message appears on screen prompt: error: not found device

Von275 Mcsga and thanks for the help but I'm almost giving up, something that seems so easy is making me angry
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DanADaMan:
Von275 & Macsga

I installed both of your roms and both look real nice so far (still trying to decide which I like better).

However on both I still only have 170mb ram (or is it rom). I though the V2.1 and bestromv4 had the ram increase (to 272mb) built in? How do I get mine to increase?

I know it is still at 170mb since I install AndroidAssistant which still shows it unchanged.

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] craiggee:
I think its a lie. Anyway front camera is 0.3MP only. Less ram and rom only 256MB. Screen isnt retina either. its gota be a a copy and i dont see this model mentioned at official gooapple chinese forum.

---------- Post added at 06:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:02 AM ----------

Ive got my eye on this company too for the hope of swapping out the factory Battery: Built-in Li-on battery, 1050mAh battery with a the larger capcity battery. Id rather wait for Gooapple(brand i trust more+support) to bring out a model with larger capacity battery with the 900Mhz\1200Mhz wcdma 3g support.

Appears the Y4 battery is soldered unlike the iphones so im not sure its the same, someone needs to confirm.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tsukeyomi:
I can confirm that Lizi Y4 battery isn't the same size nor capacity of the iPhone's one. You can clearly see it in the Lizi Y4 promotional video: they aren't changing the battery between iPhone and Lizi, but just the display(which has already been done with the Gooapple also).

They are tricking you into believing that the battery of the iPhone works on the Lizi phone; they manage to do that thanks to the fact that they change the whole iPhone's logic board with the Lizi's one. In fact they are just switching screen, it is just shown in a tricky way.

Also Android Sale confirmed me that batteries between iPhone and Lizi aren't interchangeable; at least they are honest.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] von275:
It will be hard to decide..lol They are both the same v4 just have more apps .
[Miscellaneous Android Development] von275:
Try puttin all the files in root-rec into the adb directory. If not root with superoneclick with the video here: www youtube.com/anexonel
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
Did you check the Settings->Applications->Development->USB debugging option?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] craiggee:
Thanks for the confirmation on the battery@ I also noticed this on the video but was trusting the text from the website regarding battery. I guess an alternative wil be a batterycase thats made for the iphone 4. I wonder if anyone has already tried and tested one of these yet on the gooapple? i asume it will work. link: http://www.newtrent.com/iPhone4S-4-Juice-Case-Black-p/imp220b.htm
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
Exactly, no real difference. I still wonder about the free ram though Von. What do you say?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tsukeyomi:
I personally wouldn't use that, it makes the device look thick and ugly (in my opinion), but for emergency situations it could be nice :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] von275:
It should be working keep trying also, because it took me some time also to get it working, I should be making a written version on my "website"..

And guys as you can see, my website is down(for now) so you should download bestrom v4 at it is the same thing only with more applications and other.

***Update***

This is just wa quick work to says that ive changed of site but you can still use www.anexonel.tk. My new site is: www.anexonel.weebly.com
[Miscellaneous Android Development] craiggee:
Regarding battery size this easily shows the comparison between an iphone 4 and lizi y4. Y4 battery is same as gooapples. I think the android-sales article on it was wrong as the lizi official site doesn't mention you can swap the battery for the iphones, maybe they juest mean you can get parts to replace, what they do say is they aim to make their phones upgradable in regards to systemboard) you can upgrade up to 1.5GHZ CPU). That's their point of difference...

->Lizi Y4-3G<-

CPU model	MediaTek 6573 ... (can be upgraded later to high-pass 1.5G CPU)

CPU frequency	Dual-core 650MHZ +270 MHZ

You choose the 4 or 5 option(the one under sd) then the 2 one after you find you rom that you want to flash , select it and confirm with the middle option.

Now I'm trying to install the room update

The recovery mode of my phone is in English, and appears to me these options:

Android system recovery <3e>

Android system recovery utility

rebot system now

apply update from sdcard

wipe data\factory reset

wipe cache partition

backup user data

restore user data

I chose - apply update from sdcard - and went to the folder where I uncompressed the files bestrom.v.4, when I click

the folder opens without any option, as if the folder was empty

Also tried to put the file bestrom.v.4.zip inside the folder, but when I click the file .Zip to install, I get the message below

Install /sdcard/systemghost/8267659...

E:signature verification failed

Signature verification failed

Installation aborted.

I believe I am almost succeeded, someone could help me with the final part??

Thanks!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Stevenious:
You have to unzip the folder I Trie it in a few minutes by my self then i can tell you more about you issue ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] von275:
Youn can't install with factory recovery, so before you root, put the rom zip in the root of your card then us root-rec

Guys I have one thing to say...

Anexonel rom v2.1 OR Bestrom v4 + Ilauncher = Perfect rom:D

Greetings from Spain and sorry for my English. I have received the gooapple requests, but I can not install applications. All are unsupported application from google applanet and play.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] white-k:
On YouTube there are three videos showing three different ways of rooting a GooApple:

1: http://youtu.be/tA_VbR5Ayk8 (By "TechFusions", using: z4mod)

2: http://youtu.be/_INUs0OdopQ (By "Anexonel", using: superoneclick)

3: http://youtu.be/hwTbkLvPgzk (By: "mayiandjay", using: Root-rec)

Personally I think video 1 (using z4mod) seem easiest...

- Does either rooting-method work equally well?

- Will either method work for GooAppe V5 3G?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] punximan:
Can you tell me what kind of problems please? I'm using it because the interface runs better and i don't get the force close error that happens on my phone when the alararm finishes of rang on the default launcher (also in few previous roms).. maybe is only a problem of mine, nobody more experimented this?

Make sure you have adb but also make sure you have the drivers installed for your phone. The best way to obtain the drivers easily, is by installing PDANET on your Gooapple and pc. Once you try this let me know if it keeps saying "Device Not Found" Good Luck :)

hi everyone, iv just noticed this new phone gooapple v5 3g and wow it looks good,then i came across this site,could someone tell me would it be wise for me to sell my htc desire hd and get a gooapple v5 3g instead? is the gooapple v5 better? im not that clued up on roms etc but can learn, any replies would be great,thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tsukeyomi:
Hi wannelly,

to be honest the value of your actual device is higher than the V5 3G's one. But if you're looking for a 1:1 copy of the iPhone 4 it could be a nice product. I probably wouldn't sell a desire HD to buy a Gooapple V5 3G; i would if some money advances after selling your phone and buying the Gooapple ;)

I still don't have the device (i already bought it, it is in shipment phase) so i can't really help you much; there's a thread (you can find the link in my signature) created just for the V5 3G, if you want you can come and ask questions there. Soon many people will get the V5 3G and they will probably able to help you and answer your question :)

- Can I have more than one ROM installed at one time, or do I have to erase one to try the next?

- Where is a download-link for Bestrom v4?

- On Anexolnels site its says 'ios ui' for option A and B (above)... what about Android UIs? Don't you guys make that?

A&B=same, only on B there's more software installed.

C=Chinese stuff all over the place

You can install your own android UI. ADB and GoLauncher being my favs. iOS is cooler on an iOS "like" device though...;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] white-k:
Now THAT was a proper reply macsga! you adressed all my qestions. THANK YOU! :)

- The headline on your bestrom v.4 says "(NOT 3G)" - Does that mean it will not work properly on my GooApple V5 3G?

- You mean I can have ANY android-UI on my GooApple?

I'm a bit confused here: Does that mean I can install ANY android-ROM and have it work on my phone, or are UIs not only installed as ROMs?

Please clarify for a noob :confused: ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
As I don't own a 3G, I take it it won't work on this rom as I cannot test it. All in all, this is supposed to serve owners like me with the "best" to my conception rom available for the GPRS model only (which I own). Von275 swears that it would work on 3G though. If you have the 3G, give it a try and let us know.

ANY android UI you can download off the Market (GooglePlay) can be installed (and chosen as default by you) on the device. Remember, at its heart, this is an ANDROID device. The default UI now is the iOS ''like'' one. The UI is nothing but a program that controls the device.

My phone is already rooted, I can see the Super User application in it.

I wonder why when I restart the phone after putting the update on the sd card, the options appear in English and not Chinese like most. Already tried other forums and no one can explain
