A small question, does bestrom v3 runs so faster like bestrom v1? Because in v1 the main screen scrolls perfectly and I dont want to change to a slower version.. Great job, and thanks!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
You're welcome! I can tell that v3 runs smoothly. It also has features that v1 didn't (like GPS fix). I'd say you make a backup first and try. If you don't like it you can always revert.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AndroVet:
I tried this version. Unfortunately, it has become far worse than the previous one. That's what I have seen:

- Used an older version of iLauncher

- The status bar is not transparent

- A bug with the device going to sleep (if you just press the "Back" button, we have a blank screen)

- Not the correct definition of my ISP provider. (Baikalwestcom instead AKOS-GSM)

- No reaction to the long press "Back" button

- Cached background process - SuperUser in the task manager written in Chinese characters

- The keyboard has only one language - the system language, for a set of English language is necessary to change the whole the device language

PS: 3rd screenshot - the original ROM (Transparent status bar; AKOS-GSM)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
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. Thanks for the comments.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AndroVet:
Unfortunately, the firmware "Anexonel's modified chinese rom V2" contains more fatal bugs. Including:

- Slow down scrolling working screens

- The lack of localization (English only): Calendar, LockScreen and more other .apk

- Icons do not remember the position of the place when you restart

- No Icons SuperUser! (Root is)

- Broken Calculator - does not fit the entire series

- Does not stretch application icons. Wafers under the application icons are missing.

- Settings -> General -> SIM Tools = system crash

- Is not correctly working SystemUI.apk (not compatible with FrameWork)

- Wi-Fi - so slow, losing connection, the phone warms

In my opinion, the most stable version of the firmware, it is devoid of most of the problems - GooApple_IOS_12.02.13_ (rom.gooapple.com). zip [148,626,630 bytes]

It was posted on the official site, but a very short time. I personally use it.

A working Wi-Fi, GPS, Settings, SystemUI, very good software of radio module. Excellent localization. Adroid version 2.3.6 (Install to Phone / SD-Card - present)

Of the cons:

- Replaces preloader.img in English! (return via MobileuncleTools.apk, and delete - system\recovery-from-boot.p)

- No Root (helps - GOOPHONE4GS-ROOT-REC-CH)

- Icons do not remember the position of the place when you restart

- Lost the original apple logo :-) (replacement restores "boot_logo" and "bootanimation.zip" is not enough, one has to flash boot.img [6,291,456 bytes]
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
I'd like to test it, if you like to share it. Please upload it and share the link. If it's like what you're suggesting I'd be more than happy to provide a rom based on this. From my personal experience, official releases never got even near GPS fix / NetworkLocation service; plus they presented A LOT MORE lag.

I had to dig very deep to find a *working* apk for both of these. There's a whole thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21947564&postcount=236 (link provided with my 1st attempt of fixing those issues).

In any case; I can only but respect your opinion and try (if you post the link). Thanks in advance.

Ahoj men! I'm in trouble!

There was chinese recovery at my phone and mayianday rom ver.

But today, after installing manufacture version of rom (the same as AndroVet link GooApple_IOS_12.02.13_) i've got an english recovery as he say but rom don't boot! All I can hear is quiet clicks after gooapple logo and black screen. Only hard reset helps to go in recovery menu.

I have no backup for english reсovery. what to do next? How to revive it? I want it back!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
Just follow the instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21847185&postcount=198
[Miscellaneous Android Development] silkwort:
OK, thank you!

Problem solved by reinstalling rom package from english recovery. After that it load os and now I can go back to china rec. Ufff!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AndroVet:
Solution consists of one step:

- Flash your old preloader.img with "GOOPHONE4GS-ROOT-REC-CH" software

Decision 2:

- Install MobileuncleTools.apk

- Flash your old recovery.img

all packed into the archive and put to you :-) http://www.mediafire.com/?1ya6lut3tqibnzi

i just want to know, does the goophone 4s is gooapple 4gs?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
It has similarities but it's not the same. If you ask about being able to run these roms (and compatibles); yes, I think it will be able to.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
I have tried for a couple of days the rom you have provided. I already had this one on my HDD. Unfortunately - even though everything you stated is true - it wouldn't lock on GPS for my location nor NetworkLocation (wifi based GPS) was able to make a fix. Is it working for you? Which continent / country are you located in?

As a side note: I think mayiandjay had based his release (which I used on building bestrom v.1) on the specific rom. I am not sure though. Every rom posted here is considered ''best'' solution from my point of view. BTW: Version 4.0 has been released some minutes ago.

As you can probably tell if you meet me in person, I am nowhere near a God, nor the Pope to be ''always right'' so it's only my personal point of view and nothing more. It may be erroneous. You can post your opinion here and it will be respected as mine and you may probably convince me to release one rom based on what you consider ''best'' if you're persuasive enough... ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dres94:
macsga which keyboard is in this rom? The old keyboard? You can do some screen? :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
Yes the old keyboard, just like you asked ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] 45705930:
Greetings!

This is my first post. I've taken the time to register because I have a very honest question that may hurt your feelings. But first..

Let me just say, I think it's amazing you've taken the time to take on a project like this. I know how little free time a full time job and family can leave a person, but you have chosen to spend your time on a project you can share with others for absolutely free. That says a lot about an individual.

However, I happen to be interested in the GooApple phone for privacy reasons. So my question is, how do I know you're not rooting these images and stealing all thereafter?

I'm sorry if this as already been addressed, but I have found no evidence of it in my searches. I hope you take it with good heart.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
Hello and thank you for your question. I can always reply negatively and:

1. Starting cursing my miserable life for being a (recently bankrupt) Greek.

2. Blame my mother in law for not letting me know what will my wife become after 20 years.

3. Blame you for asking these kind of questions.

4. Stop joking and REALLY answer.

Well, as a Physicist I believe we live into an aetiocratic (a Greek word from αίτιο=reason, and cratos=authority) multiverse. This means our life is based on choices which in the very essence define our future and thus our chosen SINGLE timeline in the multiverse.

This being said you have a choice. Either download my rom or don't download my rom (well it's not actually MY rom but many people's efforts altogether). In any case you will have to live with the consequences. If I were you,though; and wanted to make sure, I'd install the rom and after that I'd download this program:

http://www.appbrain.com/app/droidwall-android-firewall/com.googlecode.droidwall.free

This monitors every in/out network traffic and either blocks it - or not. Another joyful ride about what's monitored from your personal life -and what's not- is being described here:

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/capture-network-traffic-with-andro-shark/

(click on the thread and I strongly endorse you to download the app)

Ending my thoughts, you're touching a very sensitive matter for me. I don't like being monitored, I don't like to be 'sniffed' when I type my sms's, I don't like to get my cc number stolen. That's why I don't use social networking like FB, Tweeter etc, and all that comes together with them as a fine wrapped packet.

I'm not talking about being paranoid, but a (THOROUGH) check never harmed anyone. ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dres94:
macsga thanks, respect you :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
You are very welcome.:)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AndroVet:
I tried this version.

Pros:

There is a Superuser icon - you can customize the type of notification.

A good version of the calculator - do not cut off the left side

There is a localization of the lock screen (date)

Cons:

When you install the software in the phone memory icons are not appear until you reboot.

App Icons there are overlay each other. (see ScreenShoot - at least 3 icons are on each other)

When you first run the setup wizard vague in Chinese

Changing the original CWM

Lock screen fonts are made bold. Labels do not fit into the field. Decreasing similarity to the iPhone.

The old version of Root Explorer - is not fully localized

Since there is no any basic keyboard is not available for selection during the installation of the input method SmartKeyboard.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AndroVet:
Please try this version as the basis for the firmware. I am very interested in your opinion about it.

http://www.mediafire.com/?2v1kx591wisbk8o
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
My guess is that you're wiping the cache/Formatting AFTER you're flashing my rom. I think so because the setup wizard is not supposed to start when you're first installing (I've already ran it for you and localized the phone to English). Also the keyboard is pre-settled (you can change it from settings too).

Be sure you wipe cache BEFORE installing the rom. Don't reset from the Settings menu. The rom is blank. You just need to add your account.

Ofcourse this may be due to your phone is different than mine (???)

Thanks for the feedback.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
Will certainly do during the weekend. :) Thanks...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AndroVet:
You were absolutely right! I've done wiping the cache / Formatting AFTER flashing ROM. Now do as you suggest. Many things work is much better!

From the obvious (major) bugs have the following: folder does not show its contents.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
Folders is something I don't use, so you may be right. Nevertheless, I tried creating one and it seems that it shows everything. You can overcome this by not using folders. ;)

not gooapple unroot ?

good evening,

I just saw that I have not received the gooapple v5 how do you unroot?

to return

thank you
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
You have to place the official update.zip (http://rom.gooapple.com) into the root of your SD Card. Enter the Chinese menu -> Option 2 (SD:update.zip##) ->8th option (# - ## /sdcard/update.zip).

Cheers.

I did root my gooapple, but when I restart mode root to install the new room, recovery appears to me in English and not Chinese. When I select the file on the sd card to install the room, show me error

What can I do to succeed?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
I think you didn't follow the 1st page instructions of this thread step by step. Be sure you don't wipe/format AFTER you install the rom, but previously.

Good luck.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] yhave:
Sorry for my English google translator.

Beware, this system worked for me but not the original instructions.

I spend like you, I got:

Repeating the connection to the PC after the mentioned point and in doing so.

"4. Connect your phone to your computer, Now Open the folder and double ROOT REC click on 4GS-ROOT-REC.

5. Now you will see a black window opens up That. This is Called "command promt". Here You Should See That it will start doing some stuff by Itself, this is good.

6.It Several times you will ask to "press any key to continue ..." do as it says nothing more Until happens, just like I Demonstrated on my video.

7. Unplug the phone from your PC, and turn it off.

8. Now, hold the (+) button and do not release it, and press the power button and do not release it. Both buttons Hold Until You See the "Chinese recovery". If you see a lot of chinese letters in orange color, Then you are in the right place.

Now, Here are the steps to install the rom:

8. Now your phone will boot up again Into the chinese recovery. Go to the 6th line again just like we did a backup When we did earlier.

9. There you will see the folder you Placed on the sdcard With This exact name "2012-01-26.14.45.16" Highlight it and press the power button. Now you see on the screen, go down to the 8th line and hight light the word "恢复" This Means restore, and press the power button. Here you will see a black screen with white letters and again. This is good! Wait Until it is finished!

10. Once finished, go to the botton line and press the power button once, and Then press the power button again, and the phone will reboot Into the new rom.

11. CONGRATULATIONS! YOU DID IT! ENJOY! "

I would add that the rom works fine.

Only fault my connection to wifi connects but no browsing

regards
[Miscellaneous Android Development] yhave:
The wifi and it works.

True, clear the cache is the most important step, I did follow the step by step instructions and works perfect.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fllash:
Root Explorer is a paid app.

Do you have the creators permission to include it at no cost?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
I *think* RootExplorer was included into the original chinese rom, and it updates itself, so I guess they have the permission. If you are the developer, or know the people involved I'd like to know if they have issues with it.

If they have; I'll be happy to remove it.

Cheers.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fllash:

I only say it because I know how hard developing apps can be.

I don't know for sure, but my guess is that it's a V5,3G clone (of a clone... of a clone...) Seriously now, you can't know for sure any of the V5/V5-3G roms will work with your device. Chinese Root first, backup and THEN try.

Best of luck.

Here is my phone spec:

Goophone 4GS 2G

Model number: 4GS

Custom Build Version: V2G.12.03.10

My PCB: PCB_E907 MODEM_2G
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
Most possible reasons for it are:

1.wrong drivers (use another pc and retry the procedure)

2.faulty cable (use an original iphone's one)

3.a script that automatically reinstalls the english cwm

Go for 1 and see what happens.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] rahxephonz:
Thank you macsga!! I will try it now!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] yhave:
marked usb debugging on the phone
[Miscellaneous Android Development] rahxephonz:
Macsga, I am still no luck with the thing :confused::confused::confused:

1.wrong drivers (use another pc and retry the procedure)

- I already used another pc to do it but it had the same result. Could you give me the driver which you use for flash the phone??

2.faulty cable (use an original iphone's one)

- Already use the original cable

3.a script that automatically reinstalls the english cwm

- I use 4GS-Root-RC in the instruction page. After I rooted the phone it will automatically reboot in to CWM but it can't boot up. It show the logo and then go to black screen. I have to press + and power button my self to go CWM. The phone up and it show the same result, show logo and then black screen. I press power button to boot phone and when I use Quick Boot to reboot in CWM it is in English e3. :eek::eek::eek:

My current Rom can't use Android Market that why I want to fix thing up!!

Thanks in advance for any suggestion.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
OK step by step.

1. Go to Settings->Applications->Development. Make sure you have USB debugging on.

2. Connect your phone and wait until it's properly recognized (install drivers as prompted).

3. Run CH-Root and WATCH THE STEPS! DON'T RUSH!

4. There should be a sequence that at the end will finally boot you to the CH-Menu.

5. Follow the instructions on the 1st page to load a rom.

yhave, thanks for your help! You put the update on the SD card before you root?

When I try to put after root there already appears to me all in English and I can no longer

I think I deleted some folders when I try to install the room, must have forgotten to backup. Is to recover the lost folders, or someone could send me so I put them on the sd card?

I did what you said but after backing up, I go to the sixth row and me 3 options appear only in Japanese, does not appear any folder.

Someone else can help?

How about the autonomy of the battery with this ROM?, The gps and wifi work to perfection?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
GPS is working, Location services too. Autonomy is depended on what you're doing. If you play 3D Games (ie: Asplhalt 5) there goes your phone after 3-4 hrs max. If you're using it as a phone, it can perform well on standby after a total of 4 days without charging.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] miguelikoO:
Thanks macsga I're being helpful, 4 days ago I received the gooapple v5 and I'm very lost with all this, one other thing if you please, the battery takes a long time to load, is this normal?, I have to leave more than 4 or 5 hours to charge completely while my other android htc desire hd in 2 hours is loaded.

Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you, thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macsga:
I've noticed that the cable is somewhat cheap imitation of the apple one. I'm using my original iphone4 cable for charging and it comes along in about 1h. If I were you I'd take an original apple cable & charger off ebay. It will worth the money.

Ok, do this. Shut down the phone completely and try to charge it. If you go faster, that means a process that the phone is running consumes A LOT of energy.

Good luck.
