This is very interesting. Should we make a list of mobiles which are compatible and will work with V5 ROMs? The fact that the AndroVet device's specs are the same, will work with community modded and improved ROMs and has much larger battery is really really good.

AndroVet, can you point me to some web page showing your mobile? And maybe can also tell me where did you buy it? And finally, does the battery perform great? Thanks :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
I'd try on a different PC from step 1. My guess is that you have a messed up driver. If you don't have access on another pc, you could always try SuperOneClick which will do the same thing (root the device).

If this runs ok, then it will probably replace your current driver(s) with the proper one(s). Then try again the aforementioned process with Chinese root.

UPDATE: Another issue you might have is the cable - please check that it goes firmly on the phone and the PC end. If you have another cable try with that as well.

Good luck!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dres94:
macsga I've used super one click ... I opened it when I click on the root, the process is short and then I get the screen: the device is rooted ... Later I try on another computer ... drivers I have taken them here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1389930

is this the file: http://www.mediafire.com/?h6hr1ckrf3sc7cj

Later I try on another computer ... on the other PC, after the drivers are installed, need to use super one click, or I can launch directly rec root?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
Just launch the chinese root.

AndroVet

- Looks good if the specs are really true, you never know with chinese manufacturers (they often lie to sell the product). I notice the GPS is an A-GPS meaning you need data turned on to locate and not as acurate as builtin GPS. maybe you can confirm for us? check with gps app, do gps satellites picks up?

Can you do us a favour and run a benchmark test to actually test the specs? dual core and Built-in Li-on battery, 1350mAh sounds good! How long does the battery last on standby + how long under constant use? (goophone 3g last for 2 hrs constant use - ie gaming apparently).

Says Processor:

MTK 6573 Cpu 648 mhz + 260 mhz dual core, 1Ghz

. (where does 1GHZ come from? should it not be CPU: MT6573 ARM11 650MHz+ARM9 400MHz!?). GPU is PowerVR SGX 531 single core.

Android System Info

(by electric sheep) APP will tell you all the hardware your phone actually has, get it from the market or appbrain: appbrain.com/app/android-system-info/com.electricsheep.asi you can hopefully dump the info to us here.

BTW I found this phone @ aliexpress here, also says it has a 8MP camera (chipset supports up to 8MP but again they usually lie in regards to camera):

aliexpress.com/fm-store/506083/211293240-507613088/New-arrival-Mtk6573-Goophone-Android-2-3-os-IOS-4-0-menu-3-5-inch-capacitive.html
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dres94:
macsga I did, I installed the official rom to do this ... I have now installed your bestrom v3, I really like, only flaws are the keyboard for me (I preferred the first, because it was the iPhone now does not seem like an iphone) and then missing the gallery, I do not know how to open images
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
648+260=908Mhz=929792KHz

For goodness sake, don't be so strict about it; it's not a big difference...:D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] karthius:
Goophone

So it seems the goophone OS is compatible across all these Chinese replicas. Now if the one AndroVet posted is 100% legit(if possible screen shot of set cpu overclocked + battery swap possible) i might i would be officially sold.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] craiggee:
LOL!:) ok fine lets just make up numbers and round up to the nearest hundred, just like the camera is prob really 5MP not 8MP.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] von275:
Hi guys what is happening if very ironic... I jsut bricked my phone...lol I found how to push the update to my phone but when i put the sdcard as r/w it gives me: mount invalid argument... ANy help!!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] craiggee:
we havent seen the battery or systemboard in this one yet, lets hop its standard iphone battery! ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
Looks like you've managed to get yourself a corrupted SD card. Get your hands on to a star Phillips screwdriver and pop out the mounted one. Then replace and format the new one from the recovery menu. This should do the trick.

Good luck.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] von275:
I dont think that is the problem, I can still see go in the sdcard in recovery mode.

***UPDATE***

I figured it out thnx anyways!

M99? is it with android UI or IOS UI? does it retina screen, too?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DanADaMan:
Von, I'm trying to perform the rom upgrade as per your video (from 170 to 270ish).

I have downloaded and executed the SP Flash Tool, copied my 2012...... backup into the files directory, and did all the steps as your video. Once I hit Download though nothing happens??? I've tried with my phone powered off, with it on, with USB Debugging on and off - nothing makes a difference.

I thought maybe it was driver related so I downloaded your driver file (the 3 inf files). How do I install these? I have a PC running Windows Vista and can't seem to figure it out.

Also I'm still confused with your video. Once I get the Download to work you mention I should have a new app on the phone called 272rom (or something like that). What do I do with that app? Sounds like I need to go to chinese recovery, but how do I execute this 272rom app??

Thanks

---------- Post added at 06:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:23 AM ----------

Von / macsga

I've read all these posts, but am stil confused which is the best / latest rom - is it V3 by macsga or V2 by Von?

Macsga, from what I understand you have now agreed that von V2 is better than your v3, but from what I understand it is missing many populate apps which I thought you or someone was working on to make a new V4? Any update to where this is?

Thanks

---------- Post added at 06:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:28 AM ----------

One of the speakers on my V5 died. If I connect via headphones sound comes out both sides but if I unplug the headphones the sound is only coming out one side.

Any ideas?

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AndroVet:
You are absolutely right! This is the phone that I bought! And this is the seller that your link. I paid him directly via PayPal.

I had a lot of talk with him about the 8mp camera - he tested it and sent me a photo. The camera - 5mp. From his words - the factory says 8mp, in reality 5mp.

Before i order...

Now before i order what is the difference between

http://www.fastcardtech.com/goods.php?id=6922

and the one on android sales???

I notice the fastcard tech is claming a 1ghz processor...?

are they both interchangeable with iphone 4 accessories??

btw have anyone used SET CPU to increase performance??
[Miscellaneous Android Development] craiggee:
thanks fior the photo. Did you know its actually a Gooapple phone aswell? see the aliexpress link, thats why the firmware here works on it. Battery is same size as the other gooapples & not same size as the iphone (see original iphone 4 pic http://bit.ly/9hE0ri ). iphone 4 battery is: Height:4.5 inches (115.2 mm) / Width:2.31 inches (58.6 mm) / Depth:0.37 inch (9.3 mm). you can compare...

---------- Post added at 11:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:07 AM ----------

i dont trust some of the specs on either site TBH . We would need a hardawre dump from each phone to compare. The fastcard tech one has same size battery as the iphone 4 original which is good (asuming the voltage also matches!). its ram is 512MB ROM,256MB RAM. whereas the MB006 one is 512 ROM/512 RAM. fast tech one says its 1.2 ghz cpu(yea right!) where as MB006 has 1Ghz (more like 908ghz!) . MB006 says it supports G\B\A wireless where as fastcard tech one is G\B only. A-GPS type only in MB006(maybe they have chip one too?) and fastcard tech doesnt mention what GPS its got.

quite hard to tell which one would be better untill someone who has the phones can comment..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dres94:
hello von ... can you give me the direct link for download of your famous rom, because I went to your site and do not know what the Roma who say it's better bestrom v3 ...

macsga Hello, you when you release your bestrom v4? :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] von275:
on my website it is called v2 in the download section.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] von275:
By installing ny new rom you should get the 272 mb automaticly

And today ill be realeasing an update to the rom so it will be version 2.1 and not 3
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
I'm in test phase, with another rom and this one too; so I guess it'll take a couple of days to release it. In the meanwhile, you can use the v2 of Von's and add the google apps yourself if you like.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tsukeyomi:
Hello guys. I finally decided to buy a Gooapple V5 3G! I will probably order one tomorrow and i hope it will arrive in a month or so.

I will also help with tests and new ROMs development (i just need a bit of time when i receive the phone to learn a bit about ROMs and their internal structures and how Android and its apps works, since this will be my first Android-based device). I will also have to develop Android apps in the future but that's another story.

So let's keep this thread alive and let's help each other to improve our Gooapple!

I have only one thing to ask, since it's my main preoccupation (along with CPU efficiency, but i don't think we can't do much about that): has anyone managed to improve battery life in some way? Maybe someone found more capacious batteries that will fit this phone? I will buy it anyway but if battery life was somehow improved this device would be even better.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dres94:
great macsga i attend your new work :) macsga if you can enter again the old keyboard that was the original iPhone keyboard, that is not this in v2 von's rom and bestrom v3

von i have installed your rom, and how bestrom v3 crashes many times you say it's a problem with the phone or the rom? For example when I go to the gallery and try to look at the pictures it takes time to load and crashes when I browse often
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DanADaMan:
If I wanted to get the 272mg on my own rom, what am I missing? Based on your video, I put a backup of my current rom into the "files" directory and did all the other steps, but when I hit Download it does nothing. In your video you say something was supposed to appear in the bottom right corner after I hit download, but nothing does. I've tried it with the phone on and off and with usb debugging on and off, but each time after I hit Download nothing happens.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] erjonm:
does anyone of you have heard about sophone v5........it seams a lot like gooapple v5????????
[Miscellaneous Android Development] von275:
I guess it is the phone as it is not happening to me.

@danAdaman when you put my rom it will automaticly make it 272 mb and you should be able to have it on your current rom.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] craiggee:
Its not 3G! only GPRS data :-(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AndroVet:
None of these phones on MTK-processor does not support the "normal" 3G. This is WCDMA! (only in Japan it would work). Read the Developer Forums Chinese portal: quote - "I have no way to test 3G - someone check and let me know how it works"

Аnd it said manufacturers and developers!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DanADaMan:
Help please.

I realize if I install you v2 rom it will be 272mb. But as you said I should be able make my rom 272mb too. How do I do that? I installed your rom but personally it is lacking just too many necessary apps, and I'd rather not have to install them, so I went with bestromv3. I installed androidassistant, on bestromv3, and confirmed I am still at 170mg (even though I previously installed your rom).

Can you please help understand what I am doing wrong (based on your video). As mentioned I have the backup in the "files" directory and followed all the steps, but when I hit Download nothing happens. Any ideas?

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] von275:
I think it is the drivers, so to install them go in device manager, look for your phone(closed) right click on it, update driver software look for it were you saved it and that is it!

V2.1 of my rom(with all necessarily apps) is coming out soon and macgsa should be releasing bestrom V4 based on V2. It should then have 272 mb
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gplock:
Sorry to ttake up room. But dies any one here have an android-sale.Com gooapple v5 ith 3g in the united states best in NJ with T-Mobile. I'm getting confused as in if it really does have 3g or not.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] von275:
Hi guys this message is just to tell you that I will really soon release ver 2.1 of my rom.It will include a new keyboard, faster launcher, less lag when making folders, google maps, gps fix, google play(latest android market) Safari like browser and more... I am also trying to make recovery mode in english but Ill need to do a lot of process so stay tuned!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mayiandjay:
Hi every one! I just ordered the gooapple v5 3g and an eken t02 tablet as well. I live in the USA as you all probably know, and I will test the 3G network, because it supports HSPDA 900mhz and 2100mhz so this means it has to be supported. Do you guys think I should make an unboxing video?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DanADaMan:
I reinstalled the drivers but still no luck. So I reinstalled your V2 rom, but still only have 170mg? Is there a trick to get the 272mb?

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gplock:
Yes! Please. What service?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] craiggee:
The site i was looking at said "GPRS & WAP connectivity, MMS Transceive" under data for this phone. now i see it has wcda listed under cellular..

For 3G WCDMA(2100Mhz) is fine for me as my country New Zealand supports it in main cities (2100Mhz), but Extended 3G (900Mhz) in countryside which I can use gprs/EDGE as the phone doesnt support it"yet" due to mediatek licencing of this band as i read in this thread.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tsukeyomi:
Actually i don't think V5 3G doesn't support HSDPA. W-CDMA is also know as UMTS, and its theoretical speed limit is 384 Kbps,(i'm writing this on memory, look up on Google or Wikipedia for more exhaustive info) which is a lot for me anyway, it also depends very much on your mobile network operator. HSDPA is an evolution of UMTS, therefore i'm not expecting our device will support it.

I'll order my V5 today, as i previously wrote, and when i will get it i'll start making tests and report them here. :)

P.S. : Absolutely yes for the unboxing video mate, i'm sure it will help a lot of people in the future ;)

Install problem

Hello,

I am new in this; I saw is very interesting and helpful. Sorry for my English if I make mistakes as my mother language is Spanish.

I had a problem in the soft of the phone because I can't clean the SD, when I switch-off and after switch-on the files delete return again, and can't be deleting also if I add a file it is delete by the phone when start again the new file isn’t there.

Therefore I decided to install againg the rom and now I have another problem. I tried to install the ROM in my "gooapple v5 3g" according with the procedure indicated by "mayiandjay"

But when run the file the "promt" is as follow:

adb server is out of date. killing...

ADB server didn't ACK

* failed to start daemon *

error:

adb server is out of date. killing...

ADB server didn't ACK

* failed to start daemon *

error:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] mayiandjay:
Ok I will make some videos. I also got roms for it already, so I can't wait to test them! :) Lets see about the 3G if it works! Also I'll be using USA AT&T network. Thank you guys for the motivation! ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] von275:
You can also try my rom as it is compatible with 3g.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tsukeyomi:
Actually i still don't have the device. I will get it in a month or so (hopefully!), i will post what you asked when it arrives :)

Hey mate, i finally decided to get one of these devices myself and ordered (yesterday) the 3G version of the V5 too! :D

It will take a while to get here but hopefully sooner or later i can start trying and testing it. I will need a bit of time to get to know the platform but i'll try to improve the most-used ROMs as much as i can.

Can you point me where did you get the ROMs you're talking about? I already have the latest one released on rom.gooapple.com , download speed was a pain, but i finally got it; don't know, maybe you already have modded and improved ROMs over the stock one that i already downloaded.

And another thing; i never tested or tried the device or any ROM but from what i understand, the only difference between 3G and non-3G ROMs is only in the "modem.img" file, right? Just an assumption.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] von275:
For 3g roms and non 3g, modem.img is just the imei and some other files may be modified to work on 3g. I know that 3g roms work on non-3g(my newsest rom 2.1 that ill release soon hopefully) is 3g and v2 also) but for non-3g to 3g i am not sure.

Okay so my the update to my rom is released!You can download it from www.anexonel.tk www.anexonel.webs.com or my app built into my earlier version and i think bestrom V3

What is included

-Bluetooth

-Edge 2.75 g speed

-Faster WiFi

-Mail

-New iPod(Music)

-Smart Keyboard(I will post on my website in the FAQ section to stop it force closing)

-Cache fixer(To have a greater market cache space)

-Safari like-browser

-Google maps and others

-Battery calibration(You need to do it everytime you flash a new rom)

-Google play store(Newest version of android market)

-Compass

-Calculator

-Voice memo

-Notes

-Clock

-Radio

-and more..

So I guest there is everything this time!lol I only forgot gps fix but you can download it directly from google play.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tsukeyomi:
Very nice von! Too bad i still don't have a Gooapple so i can't try it. Maybe someone who owns the device can test your ROM and give you some feedback. I'll make sure to try it when i get my Gooapple. Nice work anyway!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Stevenious:
Thanks van, I give you a new try for your new rom 2.1 ;) but the bestrom v3 is nice for me atm. So whats about bluetooth? Because i want to buy a gps mouse for the device to get a faster gps fix. Does it works with this phone or get I a error like on some other devices explained? Somebody tested a bluetooth device on the gooapple?

Thanks for your help. Great work
[Miscellaneous Android Development] von275:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] winnipegsubaru:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] von275:
Ill be making a video today on V2.1 and ill show how do it, but so you do not need wait here is a way.

Click volume(-) on front pages choose wallpaper from default are other and choose the picture you want!

I can show you guys some things in particular, just tell me what!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] punximan:
Von i tested your rom and it works very well, i could see the progress on the execution time of the apps. But I have a problem, when i install an app the phone offers me the 2 options: install the app in the phone or in the SD, and when i install an app in the phone when i reboot it the app does not exist (it is like not installed)... I can still installing on the SD but the problem is with smartkeyboard, i can't install the app in the sd so every time i reboot it force closes. Any idea to fix it? Thanks!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] von275:
Did you clear date,cache and dalvik cache before and after flashing the rom?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] punximan:
Yes i did it like always but nothing.. since the new roms gives you the choice of installing the apps in the 2 sides, the problem of installing on the phone and reboot with the app not existing always happens to me..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] von275:
Did you check if the app stays in the input method

And guys check your speakers I just found out that mine isn't working!!!! Maybe a default with gooapple?!? (BUT IT IS STILL LOUDER THAT THE IPHONE 4)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mayiandjay:
Yes I have some other roms other thnt the ones I got from rom.gooapple.com. I will test, change or modified, and share with you guys, but first I need the device. If I am correct I should get it no later than Wednesday 03/14/2012. Also shouldn't we open a new thread for the gooapple v5 3g. Because a lot of people will go crazy and may mix up the roms if we keep this one going? What you guys think?
