You paste your backup in "files"?

Sorry Von, i cant so much , thats why so many questio.......do you mean the backup of the phone whan i installed new rom or which backup........

The backup i did when installing new rom it doesent show me same files as i see in your video..

Can i make new backup ...and how

thanks for helping :confused:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] von275:
You boot in recovery (phone closed then power plus vol (+)) then you choose the one under sd with chinese symbols then the first option. When its done, boot normaly then connect to your computer and copy systemghost/(random #)/2012.24.... and paste them in "files"
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
Ah, another minor detail is this: Your superuser wouldn't let me copy/paste apps into system/app/ folder. I had to re-root via chinese root and then it would.

Plus; you don't have to copy and paste since the 2 apps missing (included in the zip) don't need odex - you just run and install them.

In any case I have been working with your rom as a base and I think we are close to perfection. When I'm done testing I' ll back up my rom for you. I'll clean up my personal data and will post it.

Photo app

@von275: I installed your newest rom. It works very well. However, I do not see any Photo app that can allow me to view/delete my pictures.

Can you upload the Photo apk?

Also, I got the "force close" message when using "switch background" in iLauncher. I did "Wipe Data/Cache" during the installation process. Any solution?

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] von275:
Here is the apk http://www.mediafire.com/?3u89ebmsc4869ne paste it in /sytem/app then reboot it will automaticly install. Maybe that is why it force closes.

E906 is the old motherboard and E907 the new one. Type *#2170#* if nothing pop up you have e906 if something pops up it will tell you what you have.

Im also working on a new rom that should be faster then my previous version and should look alot more like ios.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] von275:
Put this in system/app: http://www.mediafire.com/?g2jcvhn33d88nlt
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
Apart from the solution Von275 gave you; I'd propose a clear data/cache from the chinese root menu and THEN restore the v.3 rom.

I'm 100% sure that the file is inside the system/app and thus it shouldn't be F/C...

[Miscellaneous Android Development] GeorgiUzunov1990:
Hey guys, how is the battery life with bestrom.v3 ?

Is there any tutorial how to create ROMs I'm interested to try and create my own :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
Battery life depends on the use. If for example you decide to play a 3d game you won't go anywhere more than 4hrs of use. If you decide to use it as a phone with GPS/Wifi/Data offline then I got as long as 4.5 days of work with minor telephone use (ie: 3-4 calls a day from 5 to 10 mins each).

As per how to build your own rom; it's not that hard. Most of the work has been done by others for you. Basically (I speak for myself) I don't "build" from scratch a new rom. I am based on an existing one and after removing non-wanting apps and adding a couple of ''essential'' apks for me I am testing it for a couple of days.

If it's stable enough I am releasing a "blank" (ie: no personal data) recovery image which I'm making off the chinese recovery menu.

Good luck :)

Exchange for 3G version of V5

Hi guys,

I was told that the 3G version of V5 is coming out in the next couple weeks, and I was offerred to return my V5 for that new 3G version. Should I do it? What do you guys think?

My main concern is if our current working roms are combatible for this new 3G V5!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] von275:
It may not be compatible because of the 3g option.

Guys, im also going to upload iphone notifications because i forgot to put it in my rom.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] DanADaMan:
How are other owners finding their data browsing speeds with the V5 being that it does not have 3G? I'm forced to use a WAP data plan and find it painfull to browse the net. Average page takes 15 seconds to load, xda takes almost a minute, email does not always auto-notify and can't watch youtube vidoes (or if I do I see a few seconds and then it freezes for another 15 seconds to load more bandwidth).

Has anyone figured a way to make a data plan work faster? I tried a proxy program (proxydroid) which helped a little. Now I'm tryng to get a VPN to work - anyone have sucess getting VPN working? FYI - I tried a few VPN apk files they many want me to install TUN KO. Tried installing TUN KO but get an error that my kernel is not compatible.

v5 or v6

Dear All

I have read through this all thread. I am interested in buying a V5 but obviously behing held back so far by the battery life.

Now I see that DHgate is selling the v5 with a 1500 mah battery at Usd 190 . This would be interesting if its all correct .

They also seem to be promoting the V6 with 3 g? Are these really Gooapple products?

Can someone please enlighten me?

tks

Hi guys. I have installed bestromv3. But the phone get slow and it wasent there the chinese appstore....than i did factory reset...and i think i cleand or formated (not sure)the sd card.....i reinstalled the backup of bestrom v2...but now the screen is ackting strange..same with bestromv1...non of rom can fix the problem with screen....while holding the finger on screen its jumping and shaking somehow.....some games its almost imposible to paly couse of the screen
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
This seems like a hardware error. I'll offer a couple of solutions that might help though:

1.Go into the factory menu (same as when you press the volume up button when trying to flash a rom, but now you will have to press the down button). Run a full test and see if it happens there too. There's also an option to make a screen calibration I think...

2.If it happens and you have the star phillips screwdriver (same as iphone4 service one) open the back and try to push the retina connector firmly into place. It's not that hard and it's most possible the solution to the problem.

If you don't have the heart to do it I don't blame you. I'd contact the seller and ask for a replacement.

Best of luck.

Could someone help me with the new update please?

The update can be installed bestromv3 gooapple in direct from the factory or before need to install both version 1 and 2?

What are the main changes in this update? The Chinese call button was changed? The speed of the cell increases? Chinese applications have been deleted? In this update the phone starts with the apple logo?

I would be very grateful if you help me with these doubts!

I would like to congratulate all the efforts to improve the cell, this is really good!

Hey everyone,

Long time reader.. First time poster.

Just got my Gooapple V5

Loaded up a bunch of different roms and decided on Anexonel's most recent Rom off his website.

First I would like to say, that everyone on here has done great work with this phone... Its just amazing. I myself dont need the 3G capabilitys as I only use the phone for voice, and if I want to download something I find a wifi hotspot.

Second, I have a few questions.

If I stick in a sim card from at&t that isnt activated yet, is there a way to see that the phone at least sees the new sim?

Also, possibly related, if I click on sim tools in the settings menu it crashes and I need to force close. I read thru this entire thread and didnt see it mentioned... but after 50 some pages, I may have missed it.

Any help would be great.

And once again, you all have done great work, and thanks in advance.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
Anexonel's rom is truly fast but some things are missing. Try adding the missing apks inside the system/app/ dir and f/c will go away; alternatively, use bestrom v.3 which is based on the aforementioned rom and contains all these missing bits.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] plaifender:
Incredible.. So excited for this new 3G version... I'll be buyin in the next few months. Anyone know if I can get the phone shipped with the plain Android software and skinning?.. I have no desire for IOS skinning on this phone.

Hi all,

I received my phone a couple of days ago (bought at android-sale) and have been trying to root it since then. It occured that I wasn't able to root it using mayiandjay tutorial and I had to dig into the subject to find out what was wrong.

Everything seemed to be OK: drivers were installed correctly, I was able to connect via adb and run shell commands, but the script could not root the phone. More analysis revealed that zergRush (zR) exploit could not recognize the OS as Android 2.2/2.3 and didn't start to root the phone, which consequently led to inability to remount /system partition as r/w and copy/install images and apps. My gooapple came with IOS-2012.01.14 firmware and its Android version was displayed as 5.0.1 and I decided this probably was the reason why zR wasn't able to determine correct Android version. Further, I downloaded the latest IOS-2012.02.10 firmware from gooapple.com and burned it from standard recovery. This time, the Android version was shown as 2.3.6 and the root-rec script ran flawlessly - the OS was recognized as Gingerbread, exploit applied and I finally rooted the phone.

I hope it might be helpful for those who have faced or will face the same issue.

Regards,

Valery

Just for the story: It's the same device with a tweaked CPU (I'm not sure this is a good thing for the battery) and the 3G Hardware module. Other than this; people who don't want / don't need the 3G option can go for the non-3G phone.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] winnipegsubaru:
So I did as you suggested and upgraded to bestrom v3. (it is very good by the way)

However I still get a force close when I click on sim tools. Which program is that trying to run?

Also, if I have a non activated sim card in the phone, is there a way to make sure the phone sees it?

Thanks again
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
Simtools? Is there a program called like that? (joking)... :D Honestly I don't have a clue. Most possible (in order to preserve space) Von275 deleted its dependancies. As for the non activated sim, this phone is ''unlocked'' so it will definitely ''see it''.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] winnipegsubaru:

battery

hi folks,

i've been reading through this thread the last couple of days and i have to say it's awesome. like an official gooapple support forum.

i am trying to make up my mind wether to buy a used iphone 4 (which is still 300+ euro for a simlocked over here) or a chinese knock off, so i googled my way until i came across the gooapple v5. this was pretty much what i was hoping to find. i looked for reviews to see what i could expect, that's how i came here in the first place. then on thursday i saw the ad for the 3g version, perfect. but right underneath it there was this:

android-sale.com/blog/iphone4-works-android

they call it lizi y4 and the specs seem to be identical with the gooapple ones. as the guy states in the article, most parts are exchangeable with original iphone parts, including the battery. if this is true and if the roms you guys put so much effort in could actually be used on this phone, this could be an answer for the battery issue for future buyers.

i am very tempted to buy, but to be honest i'm rather anxious to end up with a phone with similar issues like the gooapple apparently has, only to find out that your stuff doesn't work on it. i would feel lost without such a great community.

cheers
