My newly released rom is supposed to have 3G but I doubt that it is going to be compatible because it the lizi should be made in another factory then the gooapple and goophone
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Katohdog:
Sorry I maybe a little slow or I am just missing something. I read the post on downloading and did what you said, I get directed to the 115 page again and looked for the down button? Could you give me an idea were to find it. I tried the one at the top left hand corner next to the 115 but get directed to another page were I still get no were.

Sorry to be a pain but if can get this file I might just be able to get this phone rooted.

Thanks Again

[Miscellaneous Android Development] von275:
Can you give me the 115 link?Ill post the direct download link.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Simon Moon:
you're probably right. i just found it remarkable that not only the specs are identical but also the slogans they use to advertise it on the actual product page. i'm not quite sure but i believe i've read that those resellers mostly just paste the infos they get from the producers on their sites.

I have gooapple V5(non 3g).The rom is already out but the 3g should only works on gooapple V5 3G and the goophone with 3g.But when I was playing around in engineering mode i found a option that could activate WCDMA(3G) but it was not available to choose . Links for the new rom are in my previous post above.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Katohdog:
Colleagues.

Managed to finally Root my Goopphone 4GS today using the gooapple rom, Thanks to all that helped me through that!

I installed Rom Manager from the market and from there went to install the new rom.

The interesting thing here is the phone goes back to original setup program , in English (YES ENGLISH) but the problem is When using Rom Manager it comes up with SD card not found , operation failed. OK I then tried to load the new rom from setup and it comes up with E-signature failed , process aborted.:confused:

Any ideas on that one?

Thanks

@Von275: Well, what can I can say! This a pretty fine work you did pal. I strongly believe we have a winner here. Perfect and superfast UI, (a couple of glitches when installing/uninstalling apps are acceptable) no more force/closing and a nice implementation altogether.

Kudos from here; I think this is the most perfect rom so far. Great job!

PS: Will keep testing and report glitches -if found- here...

Von275 need a help!

My gooapple v5 should arrive this week, I can directly install this rom over the last who will come from the factory? Or do I have to do some process before?

His new version has some resemblance to bestromv3?

Thank you!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] von275:
You have to root it using mayiandjay method(chinese root-rec) than you need to install it directly from this recovery method.

My newest version is using a faster launcher camera has 8 mp and more stuff that i cant remember the only bugs I found is that when you make folders sometime another folder takes the name, when you drop an app in the folder it lags for a second.

Or can I install direct your rom using the Chinese method?

@Von275

Am confused. Can you please clarify if your latest rom is compatible with the latest V5 3G or do we have to wait for Mariandjay to come up with a new one?

tks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kleber.marques:
Now I understand!

Considering that the author of your rom bestromv3 considered the best, there is no doubt which to install.

Thank you for your attention!

Things to consider before buying my GooPhone?

Are there any things I should consider before buying my GooPhone v5 3G?

- I'm considering buying from DHGate . com

Will the ones listed there work with your roms and stuff?

- Is there any talk about a faster version phone being released so that it could be worth waiting?

- Do you know if someone has got the GPS working well in Europe?

- Anything other tips from you before buying?

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Katohdog:
G'Day All

just like to extend A big thanks to Von275, for all the help. I am managed to root the phone and install a couple of different roms, I am yet to try Von275's but have tried Mariandjay,s. The butterfly one, it is nice but confused matters as its my wifes phone so she liked a previous version better.

As far as the Goophone 4Gs goes, I think its a nice phone, I personally can't tell the difference between that an the Iphone 4. Now I have bought one I am going to buy another 2 one for myself and one for my dear old mom, but that one I will have to make as basic as possible.

Cheers

Katohdog
[Miscellaneous Android Development] von275:
@katohdog no problem :)

@erjonm DidYou pasted the backup?

@white-k I don't recommend buying from dhgate.com because you won't get any support I recommend android-sale and rofen

The goophone 4gs 3g is also out!

I am also trying to convert a chinese siri to english but I dont think it will work because of the voice recognition that is chinese only in the app.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fujion:
difference

On the site android-sale there is a phone called GooPhone 4GS. I have contacted them and they said that the two phones (Gooapple V5 and the GooPhone 4gs) is the same but the specs says that the goophone does not support 3g. Is it true? I am having a dilemma which phone to buy on android-sale(the site you've recommended). Can anyone provide me some help with this?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] erjonm:

Yes i have pasted the buckup file but its only disc image file, not like you have it in the video

and the latest buterfly rom does it have iphone menu or android. and is it in it chinese appmarket
[Miscellaneous Android Development] von275:
@fujion they don't sell the goophone 4gs 3g yet.But you can get the gooapple v5 3g on their website.

@erjonm The latest butterfly is android. ANd i dont undertand what you mean, maybe try redownloading the files and then paste a new backup, because all the needed files are included.

@erjonm It is normal that is does that but did you paste it in the file called "file"? Or in the file map? Because it is in the "file" And guys I found a new way to root the phone and installe chinese root-rec ill update you guys later on.

I've red the first 3 pages of this thread then i realised that it is actually 55 pages so i skipped to the last ones.

What I am trying to say is I don't really know the actual bugs of the latest rom. I checked the rom.gooapple.com site and there was a 20120302 rom as far as i could understand but I also saw that some of you created a rom of their own(a really big thank for that). So waht I was trying to say or ask that the low wifi conn bug and gps bugs are complitely fixed? I am considering to buy a V5 so I would like to know the issues of the present first.

Thank you
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alphamod:
hey this thread is really rocks!

i follow this thread since i watched gooapple v5 and i think its almost perfect

copy of an iphone 4 i ordered one for my self and it really great to

do this changes for the issues before i can deal with the variety of the problems

this phone have.

cyberdude can you do the same benchkmark that you did to compare gooapple v5

to real iphone 4?

i wonder how its performs against the real one!

i am sure the all people that have intrest in gooapple will really glad and curious to know how it perfrom to the phone that he claim to be

and see how he really good or bad to the real deal.

wait for the results (-:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Stevenious:
Hey I`m glad to be a part of you how are interessted in the Gooapple v5. i got mine before christmas. The really mistake is for the international user the chinese language in the preinstalled apps like the fakeappstore or ibook reader. So you can`t work with it.Also the gps locations take a while. Some programs like omega for the Siri fake didn`t work because the process of google voicesearch get killed...

You see the list in the beginning, so its a good fake. But its not really the best Ios UI I see. The performance is really good. Games and the most apps runs smooth.

So lets try to work on it to make it more realistic as an Itelephone ;) Oh and the greenbuttom if you want to call somebady is in chinese..can we change that?

Thank for your help.

Today I noticed that the camera shows me a little drunk if you know what I mean. It can`t be focus on something. So I can`t read QR Code or something else before updating I remember there isn`t that problem..confused
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
The easiest way to do so is to first install iOS rom and then the Android one (over it). This way you will keep the android dialer (which is in english). Then you should get rid of the bloatware (after you root the device). Try it, it worked for me.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Alpha_Nova:
Hi, i own also a HTC Desire and can say the Gooaplle V5 never reach the performance of it! The performancechart you see above is not from a Gooapple V5! Maybe a mistake or the someone nep us :(

If you want to clear the chinese Dial button you can install a alternative Dialer from the Android market. There are several apps aviable (but i think the design from the GooApple Dial very cool).

Also i found a new issue regarding sound menue:

The menue dont show a screen which let me choose the volume seperated for ring, media and alarm. Anyone found it? I know there is a hidden menue inside the I-OS rom for this (found it via android hidden settigs tool) but the developer forgot to insert a way to open it via standard "settings menue" ???

confusing!? Also one question: Anyone got gps or networkbased location running on the V5? My phone never found my location so google maps, google navi or latitude are useless. Makes me angry because the phone was announced with gps inside and it never works! Thats the biggest issue i think.

regards Alpha

Working Network Location for GooApple V5

Step by step we're gonna make this babe work like it should. Here you go guys, this is confirmed to be working. Follow this procedure:

1. Place the NetworkLocation.apk which is attached here on your SD Card.

2. Using RootExplorer copy/paste it into the /system/app/ directory.

3. Reboot your phone.

4. After boot up try Latitude, accept on change settings and enable EVERYTHING on the location services tab. Wifi/GPS/GPS EPO/A-GPS. After that return to Latitude. If you're connected on wifi it should detect instantly your position.

Report any problems/issues here.

Cheers.

Quadrant is for Android only. But if you would like to see some benchmark tests for iPhone vs other Android phones just follow this link: http://www.anandtech.com/show/4951/...rks-800mhz-a5-slightly-slower-gpu-than-ipad-2

As I said before, I have decompiled the Phone.apk with APK Edit but all image files are clear from words, chinese CALL word is not an image it's text over the green image. I don't know how to change it. GooApple promised me to change that in new firmware version so still waiting...

That's official results according to the Quadrant benchmark tests. If you have any doubts just go install Quadrant Advanced and test it by yourself.

Thank you Cyber_Dude for this great thread! :)

I've got V5 phone for Christmas and now I know much more about it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Alpha_Nova:
Hi macsga,

i tested it, but it dont work for me. I use the latest IOsRom and do exactly what you wrote. Placed it into system/apps, check permissions and reboot, but there is no networklocation service running, also the app is not found under settings -> apps -> all :-(

Then i try to install the apk from sdcard via klick and install app, i got "not installed"

any idea?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
Hi Alpha. I tried to repeat the process in case I reported something wrong. When I repeated it, guess what:

It doesn't work anymore for me either...!

I've done several tasks in order to get it back, including removing the YGPS.apk also from the /system/app/ just in case it was blocking it, but unfortunately, no cigar.

If I manage to do it again I'll post it here. I am really confused right now... :S

If anyone here has tried it successfully please let us know.

Call button change howto

Hi all,

I got my V5 yesterday and tried both Android and Apple ROMs. I decided to use pure Android because it is stable and works faster. For those who want to use Apple UI I made call buttons that change chinese to english "CALL" button. It is very easy to replace it and it works perfectly (no need to decompile anything):

1) Download enclosed zip file (gooappleV5_call_icons.zip)

2) Open your ROM zip file (ie. gooapple_ios_11.12.08) in Winrar

3) Go to system\app directory and copy file contacts.apk to your Desktop (do not close Winrar with opened ROM file)

4) Open contact.apk in new Winrar instance (window)

5) Go to \res\drawable-xhdpi directory and replace original files with new ones from gooappleV5_call_icons.zip

6) Close contact.apk and overwrite the original contact.apk in your ROM (you have it opened in the Winrar - just update the archive with newly created contact.apk file)

7) Close Winrar with your updated ROM zip file.

8) Flash your phone with this updated ROM and it is finished - you have nice english call button.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Cyber_Dude:
Just like that. :) Glad you found it. Thanks to you we finally know that it's located in contacts.apk not in phone.apk

That was the Chinese developers mistake, they have already put English Call button in to the drawable-mdpi-finger folder but forgot to change it in drawable-xhdpi folder.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] deathlord33:

I recommend you to buy it from the official GooApple resellers, like Rofen store or Android-Sale. IMHO

Hi V5 friends,

i have spend much time in finetuning my IOsRom by myself. Install alternative Keyboard, new Market, some syncronize features which was forgotten by GooApple Dev and so on. How i can save my "tuned" ROM into a ZIP-File now (for later recovery via v3 recovery. There is no option for backup)?

Someone a idea? :confused:

regards Alpha!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
Titanium backup has an option to 'save' your rom but never tried it myself.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Alpha_Nova:
I tried to replace the Button with latest WinRAR and get always error "signatur verification failed" while install the edited ROM :mad:

What i do wrong?

1. open winrar

2. open archive "iosrom.zip" and leave it open

3. drag and drop "conacts.apk" to desktop

4. open a new winrar instance via start/programs

5. open contacts.apk to the xhdi png-folder

6. drag new png-files into this archiv (a winrar window opens and ask for details like compression and so on MODE add and replace) i pressed only ok

7. close winrar (contacts.apk)

8. drag & drop new contacts.apk into winrar windows with opened ROMfile

9. (a winrar window opens and ask for details like compression and so on) pressed only ok)

10. copy Romfile to sdcard and boot into recovery ->

11. ERROR: signatur verification failed

Later i tried WinRAR updatemode: fresh existing files only, same error. So my phone always see that the files are changed. Any idea?

thx and regards, Alpha
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DanADaMan:
I found an easier way to get the English CALL button versus having to modify the rom and do a fresh reinstall of the rom.

Instead I took the new png files provided earlier in this thread and created the new Contacts.apk file. I then replaced my original Contacts.apk with this new file and it worked.

Below are the instructions:

1) root your V5 (instructions provided earlier in this thread)

2) copy/paste my updated Contacts.apk file (link below) to your system/app directory (overwrite your current copy)

3) change permissions as follows:

Read Write Execute

User X X

Group X

Others X

4) reboot phone.

question

I think I've read somewhere that it's not necessary to pay the extra 10 dollars on android-sale for the "apple" logo since all V5 phones shipped have the apple logo.

Is this true? Somewhere I also read even if it ships with the Gooapple logo, that it can be peeled off and underneath is the real apple logo. Is this true?

I just want to know whether or not I really need to pay 10 extra dollars to get the apple logo. I heard this phone comes in an arguably genuine looking Iphone4 box and everything!

Any help would be appreciated
