i wonder if gooapple v5 can opreate strong and best android games like

asphalat 6 hd

9 mm

blood and glory f

gta 3

shadow of gun

battlefield

modern warefare

real racing hd2 etc...

can it handle this games? i think if its not this is not good phone at all

because any phone can play angry birds cut the rope and simple games.

i know xperia cost like 250$ cheaper than gooapple v5 so if gooapple cant

handle serious games its not worth it... anyone know if it can?

and i also looking for a real and good rom for gooapple like CyanogenMod with english and with gps fix without chineese stuff and tweaked with all good

things. someone know about rom for gooapple and if not i wonder

if htc desire roms or other anroid rom will work good on gooapple because i didnt find any modiefied roms for gooapple except the ios and android that they are not really fast or good and come with chineese things.

right know i having an issue that phone is didnt response to touch and it like

stuck i didint figure out what to except from put to battarey out and

power it again but i didnt have the special screw driver for its tiny screws so right know i just wait until the battarey will drained off and the device will shut down

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Kaantjee:
Hello folks, i have bought a Gooapple 3G.

Well, he looks like an iPhone 4. But it has no retina lcd (that is what friends with real iphone 4's told me).

I have a Gooapple logo at the rear side with the android on it with an apple in his belly.

It says @ about phone:

Model number: A4 3G

Android version: 2.2.3

Baseband Version: A4 3G QUALCOMM WCDMA 3G V4.53

Is it a V5 or not? Is it with retina LCD? And where can i find the best rom with IOS UI? Because there is a stupid chinese baidu keyboard on it and i have chinese characters.

Oh and i have a iPod app and not the 'Music' app.

Please can you help me, because i've found some roms, but dont know if i have the 3G V5 or the normal 3G? ;)

@kaantjee

There is more than enough info on this forum about your phone and the questions you are asking. Try the search engine of this wonderfull medium and you will be amased about it.

Regards Tom
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Kaantjee:
i've looked everywhere on the internet, even looked at a comparison video on Youtube, but didnt get much wiser..

I only need to know if it is a 3G or a 3G V5.. Because if i download and install the wrong rom i screw up the phone..:o
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
I'd look at the "about" tab. See if your phone has 3G capabilities. Also check the tech specs of the camera. A gooapple 2G/3G has a 5Mp camera, while the newest Y5 model has 8Mp camera.

I understand your fears, but if you install the wrong rom the phone will just not be able to start. You can always revert to an original rom *you should ALWAYS have inside the root of your SD Card*. Plus if the rom you're installing is an original one (ie: rom.gooapple.com) then the whole process will get through after a checksum check. So it's fail-free.

I'd try first the official roms. Check which fits your phone. Then you'll know what you have and you'll be able to install whatever you want from the available mods.

Good Luck.

Who did you buy it from?

Can you take off the back cover to take a picture of the innards, and post it here?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Kaantjee:
I want to do an official rom, because i want to get rid off the Chinese characters and things, i am very limited @ the GooglePlay store (i've managed to install it)

So if i download the 3G rom and i have (for example) a 3G V5, than it wont install and vica versa?

I will try to do it tomorow after work. Thanks in advance!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
So if i download the 3G rom and i have (for example) a 3G V5, than it wont install and vica versa?

Correct. Go on and give it a try.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] flyingtom:
@Kaantjee,

I don't recommend to do this, you will end up with a bricked phone instead.

Because the different models have different PCB's in them.

U told here you've got a Gooapple 3G this is the first Gooapple phone, this phone does not have a Retina display, this is simply the easiest way to determine that it is definately NOT a V5 3G because all those models have Retina Display.

Greets Tom
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Kaantjee:
I've found with much searching a ROM for the 3G, but unluckely the link is dead.

apple-more com media download ApUpdate.zip

I've also searched here on the forum, but didnt found a english iphone ui rom with the fixxes, like i cant install a lot of things of the market etc..

I like my old Dell Streak 5 a lot better:mad:

Gooapple V5 3g ( New may 2012)

Hey I was wondering could anybody help, Just got my gooapple yesterday .... How do I change the ringtone to a song?!? Since it doesnt connect to itunes im not sure how to change it. And i was also wondering has anybody any idea how i change edit the APN ? My carrier gave me the info to input but it wont let me on the phone so i only have wifi :S

Thanks

Becca :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] flyingtom:
@Bex,

Please use the search on this Forum and you will find a lot off answers...

Invest a little time to read, before asking...

If you search on Gooapple you will find the answers.

My question for u is, where did you buy your phone from, this is to determine What PCB-Model you will have. This you have to know, to download the proper roms.

Maybe you can open the backcover of the phone, and post an inside picture.

Text message force close V5 3G A108 PCB

Hi all, this is my first post though I've been reading this thread and others extensively to get the best out of my phone. I'm currently working through some issues and would love some help. I can't seem to find anything specific to my issue and the A108 PCB.

I have installed the latest Android ROM from rom.gooapple.com named a108_3G_android_12.02.23 everything went smoothly to install from the chinese boot menu and most of the basic funtionality works.

However after a few days I am getting force close errors with the standard text messaging app. I don't know where to start looking to fix this. I've tried searching for other people with this problem but no luck. I am not clued up enough to resolve this myself but if someone could point me in the right direction I may get there.

Just to note the GPS in this ROM doesn't seem to work either. I have not tried the fasterfix method yet as I'm more concerned with the text message issue at present.

I will keep you posted on any developments with fasterfix when I attempt it.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] flyingtom:
@ abailey10,

You should contact your seller about your problem...

Before you do that, you could try the hard reset with the simcardtray-pin within the microphone jack. Deep inside there is a little microswitch hidden to reset the phone.

Please try to reset. Or you could try the buildin recovery. Within the existing phone menu.

Hi, my issue with this phone is that it turns off by itself randomly in the day, and I could not turn it on unless I put it once on charge(just put the plug and unplug, seems like a reset thing..) and I can turn it ON again doiing that BUT the DATE&TIME always reset to default and I have to change it everytime that happens... is that a motherboard issue? battery faulty?

Please help.

I tried to contact the seller (android sale) and I am waiting for a response.

Thanks in advance.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] DanADaMan:
Hey Guys - been a while since I have been here.

What is the best and latest rom now - I'm using Bestrom V4 if I recall right - is this still the best?

Also, would appreciate some help. I have a few of these phones, and wanted to put an updated rom on one. I reflashed it to stock, and then wanted to root it using the chinese root tool. I did this plenty of times, but this one phone is now giving me issues. It will not root, but the other phones I have root fine on my laptop, so I do not think it is a PC or lack of drivers. Below are the messages I get:

cannot stat 'Ginerbreak': No such file or directory

cannnot stat 'zR'; No such file or directory

Unable to chmod /data/local/tmp/Gingerbreak: No such file or directory

Unable to chmod /data/local/zR: No such file or directory

mount: Operation not permitted

cp: can't create '/system/bin/busybox': read-only file system

cp: can't create '/system/bin/flash_image': Read-only file system

... I get various other "Read only file system" messages, then...

flash_image: permission denied

Any help would be appreciated.

Greetings! I am user mayiandjay from youtube, and for those who don't know, I provided previous support on the gooapple 3g. I just ordered a Gooapple v5 also known as goophone 4gs. It will arrive home on 01/17/2012 so hopefully soon :). I have a different method on how to root this very easily thanks to the Chinese that I have been in contact with. I also have 3 roms available, 1 is for regular android ui, the 2nd is IOS look-a-like but it fixes some major bugs. The latest rom I have is another IOS Look-a-like but it has the apple logos and many other features released on 01/15/2012. The best thing is that I will provide videos with links to make it easier. I own an iPhone 4 and a iPhone 4s but decided to buy this phone for experimental purposes and to extend my knowledge. I will help you guys make it better!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Alpha_Nova:

Welcome aboard mayiandjay. I'm almost on the same track as you (minus the Apple iPhone 4, I only own a 4s).

Tried to download the new rom. The website is all in chinese and even with a translate service I could not figure out how to download. Can someone please provide instructions, or better yet send a copy to this thread.

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mayiandjay:
Don't worry DanDaMan! I will soon upload these roms right after I receive my Gooapple V5. I will try all of them with different videos on youtube. I am glad to be able to help out. These chinese websites are hard to figure out. Also they claim the roms actually fixes a lot of issues, so I can't wait. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mayiandjay:
Ok guys this is what I did!

Since I know some of you will have trouble understanding these chinese forums, I uploaded these files thru mediafire and I will share the links with you.

-The first one is a new tool developed by the chinese that roots the Gooapple V5 or Goophone 4gs, it is called "rec root" Here is the link: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?pik2lpb85ycztff

-This second link is for the regular android UI on the Gooapple V5 or Goophone 4gs rom released on 12/29/2011, Here is the link for the regular android UI rom: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?93bbf677yk5jgaf

-This third link is for the IOS UI rom for the Gooapple V5 or Goophone 4gs released on 12/29/2011, Here is the link for the IOS UI rom: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?djqo5azcwdemq4o

-The fourth link is the latest IOS UI rom for the Gooapple V5 Or Goophone 4gs released on 01/15/2012, Here is the link: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?4yljovk6pfb3cft

I will post videos on how to root and install these roms in case you don't know how. I will post other videos on how to do many more things to this device. Please let me know if you have any questions! Enjoy :)

[Miscellaneous Android Development] alphamod:
i think gooapple v5 users are suffered from discrimination i found to every

android site and cyanogenmod site dont have even one normall rom

in english without chineese things without all gooapple v5 officall roms issues.

and to many unfamiliar phones like zte and Huawei there custome rom.

i ask here for every gooapple v5 orversion that if some developer can

make us some fine and good rom. i find that many games like shadow gun

gta 3 dead space asphalat 3d only good for other phones i cant opreate real normal games only simple games like ninja fruit and angry birds i found this issue is very

frustrating.

mayiandjay you are great person indeed maybe you can help us to create better rom without chineese thing and all things in english and less of bugs

without including the gps. i have question about the games scetion

gooapple v5 cant oprate some serious real games its still phone that cost 300$

what the fun if its cant run dead space and other serious super fun games?

hd racing 2 9mm and more i wonder he has almost 1ghz cpu.

but everytime i tried to downlaod games its written that the game isnt compatible to the system and the problem is that the games they realse are only for xperia htc phones and others so maybe its because the firmwire dosent suit the games and we need firmwire better than froyo maybe 2.3 Gingerbread or something someone can try to install htc desire rom will it work and can opreate games? i didnt succses either because i had erorr file verification after the root
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Alpha_Nova:
Hello alphamod,

1. Gooapple V5 dont had 1Ghz CPU! => MT6573 650MHz, work on 800MHz

Also it has an included 3D accelerator included: GPU PowerVR SGX 531

The cpu is not one of the fastes, but my own tests with NeedForSpeed Shift and TrialX and other 3D-Games shows a superior 3D performance, which i never expected for this phone! 3D games runs nice smoothly. But with respect, this phone is not for real gaming because accu is empty too fast.

2. If android market shows error "is,nt compatible with your phone" for some applications, try the following:

- phone needs to be rooted!

- download SGS_Tools.apk

http://www.android-hilfe.de/samsung-galaxy-s/33978-sgs-tools-app-zum-schnellen-bearbeiten.html

- install it

- start and run market-fix script (this will patch your ID to a Samsung one)

- reboot your phone

Now marked will know you as an compatible one :) Please note that some apps like special games needs a nvidia GPU and cant run on our GooApple V5. Please read release note of the games before you try to install.

regards Alpha!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mayiandjay:
I definately agree with alpha nova. This phone runs the most 800mhz, this is 200mhz under a 1GHZ. What this means is that the gaming experience might be limited. But watch this video about the gooapple on gaming action. But the name of the device is goophone 4gs, and android-sales claims is the same as Gooapple v5. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWQF6a1MtFA

hey guys, sorry to ask. but i dont know if this is just me, but after being on the phone for a while, does anyone else get a crackling noise? seems to be heard my end and the other end. and its nothing to do with the signal either (that i know of) both had full signal.

any help would be appreciated.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mayiandjay:
Hi tsukeyomi! Yes, I have an hd camera and I will try to be as detailed as possible. I will also make some videos about the hardware as well.

Mayiandjay

I just wiped my phone and tried to install the latest 1-15 rom - I got the "signature error".

I know you said you would show on youtube on how to install these roms, but can you provide a brief description now? I really want to try it now, and since I've already wiped the phone I really do not want to install the previous rom just to setup and customize my preferences and then start all over again in a few days.

Thanks
