It's true, you must not pay extra money for Apple logo when ordering the phone on android-sale. As of box and everything - there weren't any box at all, the phone was packed in plastic foam and scotch tape:) It came along with earphones, a charger, a screen protector and a USB cable.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] plaifender:
It didn't come with a box?

Which phone did you buy VNL? Did you buy the Gooapple V5 3G? So you're telling me that your phone came with the Apple logo and you asked for the Gooapple logo??
[Miscellaneous Android Development] punximan:
Surely. my gooapple v5 came with the apple logo and i did not ask for it, 4 months ago. You can mail them anyway

Can anyone tell me what are the bugs of the latest working rom? I red about the wifi and gps bugs a lot. Are they fixed? If so, what's left from the existing bugs?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pablix:
Hi guys i bought my v5 3g and it coming soon... well, when i go on http://rom.gooapple.com i read that i can update rom in simply way. My question is: is necessary root phone to install one of it?

thanks bro!

Question about Android 2.3

What are the advantages and disadvantages of using the IOS UI vs. the Android UI?

I REALLY want the Android User Inteface... I'm about to purchase a V5 3g from android-sale and want to know if it comes from the factory with IOS or can I have it come with straight Android.

Can someone explain why half the videos on youtube show an Android UI while the other half show IOS 5.0 interface/skinning?? I'm perpetually confused!

pros and cons of each... Any insight??

Is "Rofen" an online store, and if so, where can I find it?

Would you recommend I go for...

A: GooApple v5 35 or...

B: Goophone 4gs 3g

...and what are the differenceses between them?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vnl2004:
Yes, it's the same in my case, I ordered my gooapple V5 (not 3G) in February and got it a week ago.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fujion:
I've heard about a project called google assistant what is similar to the latest iPhone's Siri. Does anyone know about the requiments of that? Honestly I would like to know that is it possible to use it on the V5 in the future.

BTW: The android-sale says that the Gooapple V5 3G has 512mb ram/rom. Is it true? Because I asked them(suspecting a description failure) and they confirmed the 512mb. Does anyone know anyithing about it?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] von275:
@fujion no it is a lie but I made a video on how to have more rom(internal space) on the phone. Visit www.youtube.com/anexonel to see it

Sent from my iPhone 4 (MC605CH)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fujion:
Sorry for asking a lot but I would like to use this phone as my primary so I really need to consider everything before purchasing it.

So, what about the parts? Is it possible to replace the battery for example, becouse as far as I heard, it does not have a really good one.

And one other thing, what do you think about the models being sold on dhgate.com? It's only $190 and they at least listed the right specs(I mean the rom size and etc).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] plaifender:
Native Android ROM Vs. IOS

Guys,

I've seen a lot of videos of the Gooapple V5 with Native Android running. Is this an option when ordering your Gooapple from Android-sale or do they automatically ship with IOS?

I might prefer the native Android OS. If I order an V5 3G will i need to request this from the seller or Root it and change it myself?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Stevenious:
Hi normaly it sold with both roms on the sd card and with preinstalled ios rom. But on dhgate i can?t say I bought from android sale ;)

I`m glad with this phone now, but I didn`t get a gps offline fix so far. Sorry ...

Tested with different apps but shows me every time no sats are visibile if there are some visibile I only have 20% ..not enough to get a fix :(

Does anyone sell a white Gooapple v5 with apple logo on the back? I prefer someone from europe cause i am afraid it might stuck at customs! Just send me a message if you have or know where to buy the real deal and not a fake one

Hey guys...

Would you recommend I go for...

A: GooApple v5 35 or...

B: Goophone 4gs 3g

...And what are the differenceses between them?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] von275:
There is no difference, they come from the same factory, only different brand.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] avers:
They are not the same.

I bought a Goophone 4GS, because a lot people wrote they're the same.

NOT YET.

The Goophone 4GS is quite different inside like you can see in the videos from Gooapple V5.

- The 4GS's mainframe is similar then the iPhone 4S (not the iPhone 4) frame.

- You cannot replace the screen or the battery cover with the iPhone's one!

- The 4GS has retina LCD as well (maybe a genuine iPhone, I'm not sure), but the digitizer is different.

Be careful if you want to by a Goophone 4GS, because:

- the quality isn't as good as the iphone (off course)

- the iphone UI doesn't allow to install any other launchers (have to replace the firmware or you can use it as a fake iphone)

- they said it has 3G, but there's no option to enable it and I couldn't see the 3 network (probably no 3G)

- you can't use the volume buttons as 'Back' or 'Menu' or something as it seems on the Gooapple V5 videos

and the most important:

After a few hours using the screen had been broken, because of a surface tension( 'cause of faulty installation). I've seen before that it's a little curve.

It is really thin glass (half thin of the iphone's one)

It happened 2 weeks ago and I've been waiting for the price offer for a new screen from the dealer.

I was experience that I cannot replace it with a genuine iphone screen, 'cause of the connectors' difference.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] white-k:
Thanks for the information guys! I appreciate it!

I will chip in and provide some more info:

I decided to buy from rofen.en.alibaba . com (sorry, can't post links).

Reasons convincing me to choose them:

- They have chat-support.

- You can state in a message when you buy it if you want GooApple or Apple-logo on the back-cover. (Be proud of your phone and choose GooApple!)

- You can also state in the message if you want "Iphone"-interface or Android-interface.

I choose DHL-shipment so hopefully I will receive it within a week.

Gooaple v5 3g

How is the phone after rooting/updating the rom?

Is the processor as bad or as good as it is(from what i read from reviews it okay)

i am 100% new to android coming from blackberry, i am debating on ordering this or an iPhone(used). I prefer android OS so that's the reason i am here asking. If i get it will i be able to get a stock android rom?[if thats what its called]

+ how is the battery life on this thing. I don't want to call it a knock off cause it seems like an high end android device and i don't mind rooting and tweaking it till its how i like it. But i just like to know how is it after a while of use does it slow down and becomes a POS or is it high quality such as an iPhone.

+++ are iPhone conversion kit able to work on this?

in addition to that since this is about the new 3g version do the roms support that? or is the rom on 3g fine as is? From the video i saw on youtube you can swap it out 100% did they modify it so the original iPhone battery can work? please some help i am in a bind if weather to get a new v53g or iPhone4
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dres94:
no i haven't install android-sdk... the drivers for gooapple i have just installed... I have already installed the bestrom v2 short time ago, but now I can not enter the Chinese recovery:(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tsukeyomi:
Hey people, as 3G version of this phone is out i'm seriously taking into consideration the purchase. But i have a few question for V5 / V5 3G owners:

1) I've been following the topic for a long time, and not having the device i couldn't test roms and stuff by myself. I see there are many roms that you guys customized and from what i understand customized roms are better than the stock one (right?). Is it possible to have a video of how the best rom (at the moment) is running? I would really like to see if there's lag, stutter and other stuff. Also if someone can show me some of the newer games running i'd appreciate it very much.

2) If i text a lot and browse a little (under 3G or Wi-Fi) how much will battery last with screen brightness set to 50% or more? I hope it will make to the end of the day. This is really important, if you want to tell me your experience with battery life it is more than accepted.

3) Overall: would you recommend this phone as a main/primary one? I'd replace my current one and use only this one instead. Is it reliable and does it allow to do things like texting and other tasks correctly and fast?

4) Are there compatibility issues with the Android Market or other apps? Are there apps which does not run on Gooapple V5? If yes, are there many that aren't compatible?

Thanks a lot in advance, i'm waiting for lots of replies :)

I am now using the latest version of anexonel's http://anexonel.webs.com/downloadlinks.htm which is FAR better than my v3 one. So far I find it a perfect choice. Check for vids on the above website.

2) If i text a lot and browse a little (under 3G or Wi-Fi) how much will battery last with screen brightness set to 50% or more? I hope it will make to the end of the day. This is really important, if you want to tell me your experience with battery life it is more than accepted.

It should get you through the day even if you do a lot more. Don't start playing 3d games though. It drains the battery out like a sinkhole! :)

3) Overall: would you recommend this phone as a main/primary one? I'd replace my current one and use only this one instead. Is it reliable and does it allow to do things like texting and other tasks correctly and fast?

I'm using it as a secondary (my second line). My primary though is a 32Gb 4s ;)

4) Are there compatibility issues with the Android Market or other apps? Are there apps which does not run on Gooapple V5? If yes, are there many that aren't compatible?

This phone will get you through with 99% of the market apps out there. It may pop up warnings 'the device is not compatible' but if you just ignore it and get through it'll most possibly play it gladly. I haven't seen any that that aren't compatible (so far).

Thanks a lot in advance, i'm waiting for lots of replies :)

You're welcome ;)

I have a question about the new rom v2 of anexonel, because i don't know if this only happens to me or the rom is like that for all, but in my case in it only appears few apps, and some important things like the gps stuff (google maps, navigation, etc), the web bowser (safari) and many other important aplications are missing. Is this like that for everybody or it could be a problem of my phone?? Thanks in advice!!

I believe the questions you're posing have already been answered. Just take some time to read the posts on this thread OR use search instead.

---------- Post added at 11:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:22 PM ----------

That's the main reason I'm tinkering with anexonel's roms. I'm adding separately google apps and other favorite apps. He prefers it to be simple and light, I can't help but wanting a "full" experience on the first boot.

I'm testing it too as we speak; I may implement a bestrom v.4 later based on his fine work. ;)

---------- Post added at 11:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:23 PM ----------

You either have not the right ADB installation (adb.exe missing?) or the drivers you're using are not properly installed. I'd propose going back into the root tutorial and follow the instructions step by step in order to root it again.

How Do I root my Gooapple V5? Im having some errors

Hi I just got my gooapple V5 and I cant seem to get it to root. I have tried the two different methods on youtube with superoneclick and the command prompt method. Neither work for me, I either get the message "device not found" or two lines saying "daemon not running. Starting on port 5307" then on the next line "daemon started successfully" then after that nothing happens. I installed the V5 drivers (after installation android composite ADB interface) and it still does not work. I had debugging on as well. Does anybody have any idea how to fix this.

Also I would like to know what rom is the best one so far for the gooapple V5, I would like to get ride of all the chinese apps and chinese font thoughout my iphone ( like in the ipod etc)

Thanks

The lastest version of anexonel is IOS or Android system?

---------- Post added at 02:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:41 AM ----------

Two more questions =]

The sensibility of touch-screen is the same of Iphone 4?

Macsga you can talk some things you noticed in different anexonel update? Those little details such as changing the button calls on Chinese to English, initiation of the cell with the apple logo, the exclusion of Chinese applications were resolved? And he said something like he was improving camera phone, this is really possible?

Thank you!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] punximan:
Thanks for reply, I'm using this phone like my main and i need all the functionality that it can offer, so for the moment i will continue using bestrom v3. But a new release of this new anexonel rom with full equip will be great lol! Good cooperative job you 2 guys :p
[Miscellaneous Android Development] von275:
My latest version is ios. the screen is exactly the same screen . the call button is english, it stars with apple logo, no chinese apps,8 mp camera, we never know!lol ;) but if yes it is just a really little difference. Because it show 8 mp in the settings.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] karthius:
oh that is very nice! :] no chinese app(woot) i will assume it has the US market app too! now another question i am going to order the 3g version, will this be compatible with your rom? and when will an android rom be available.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] craiggee:
Enabling the 8MP setting for a camera the phone doesn't physically have will probably have adverse affects in the image quality(image may tile up to match 8MP). Had similar issue with my zt180 v2 android tablet. Reason the setting is there is due to the MediaTek chipset support "high-resolution camera support to 8MP" more info on the actual chipset is below. Maybe next GooApple release (iphone 5 clone!?) will upgrade the cmos sensor to 8MP?

Ive asked android sale a few questions regarding this phone and wating for their reply. I read it has preinstalled standard android UI but comes with another ROM too, if its the iphone style UI (same as gooapple) then might be worth a shot getting as we can order an original iphone battery 1400Mah or higher capacity 3rd party battery.

Lizi Y4 link: android-sale.com/review/product/list/id/301/
[Miscellaneous Android Development] karthius:
the battery is swappable?

i heard it wasn't so the iPhones battery WILL work in this?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] craiggee:
Karthius, See this video ( add http infront.. android-sale.com/blog/iphone4-works-android ), Y4 model copies the iphones system board size so the larger battery fits, even states that you

CAN

interchange the battery/screen other parts: android-sale.com/blog/iphone4-works-android. Uses same chipset as gooapple phone.. only qs is, is the iphone UI the same as iphone UI in gooapple V5\ 3G!?

- Same retina screen like iPhone 4, 960*640 pixel

- Support GSM & WCDMA 3G network

- 512MB RAM / 512MB ROM

- 5MP rear camera, 1.3MP front camera

- Support WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS

- Android 2.3 OS,

iPhone UI

, both UI inside

Only if Gooapple have developed an ICS kernel for their phones which I doubt. Maybe new models will in a few months. You can use a launcher I guess if you mod the ROM to accept it, someone here said you can change the iphone UI unless you swap the rom the the standard andoid one or get the launcher signed. ICS syndicateapps.com/main/ICS_Releases.html

technoplant.blogspot.co.nz/2012/02/minimum-system-requirements-for-ice.html

"The Head Moderator of CyanogenMod forum said that there are two basic requirements to run Ice Cream Sandwich

I.e. Devices must have 256 MB RAM or more and also decent GPU since Hardware-accelerated 2D drawing might be needed.

Although these requirements are mandatory they are not just enough if you want ICS to run smoothly and if you want latest ICS updates to fit your device.

According to some experts 1GHz Dual core processors with 512+ Mb RAM are essential. If your phone has less specs than this, dont worry.. You can get custom roms from developers like Cyanogen.

Even if your phone meets these requirements you might not get official ICS firmware update for your phone. Because there are lot of gateways within it reach you as an official firmware update as your manufacturer needs to finish official agreements with Google before launching ICS update."

Hello everyone

Just orderd Fruit Phone 4s from fastcardtech

the hardware specs seam the same as gooapple v5 apart from being 3g

My question is, can i use gooapple v5 roms?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AndroVet:
Very likely!

I have not GooApple as well as not GooPhone. I have just "Model Number: MB006"

GSM, WCDMA, Screen: 640x960 IPS (high-profile) original apple screen, 3.5 inch multipoint capacitive touchscreen (FIVE spot) - 320dpi, MTK 6573 CPU + SGX531 GPU dual core, 1Ghz

and (!!!) - 1420mAh (original) Built-in Li-on battery...

and I approach (and work), almost all of the firmware from GooPhone or GooApple :-)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] erjonm:
Does any of you guys , who bought gooapple v5 , from android sale, checked rom ..... in my phone its only 170mb and not 512 as they say
