Sorry friend ! See:

The requested URL /GoophoneY5/roms/Goophone-0702+0711-Mod-v1.0.zip was not found on this server.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
Sorry for the typo... Corrected - Link is now working!!! :) :) :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SuperMatt100:
only guessing but even if it was a beta it should have have a option in the settings to reboot into recovery but i'm guessing you already checked i don't have mine yet so i'm not 100% sure if it is in setting that's just what i read
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jpokirkis:
I think that something may be with wrong recovery.img file used to root the phone. What do you think? I used onxd (One X) adb + recovery file to root the phone because only this worked. Am I right that recovery.img file may be wrong and that's why I cannot boot into recovery mode.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Jay43:
reboot

i can download the new rom now.

But i cant do the reboot.:crying:

I dont have the “Settings → General → About , Reboot Recovery” on my goophone Y5. I can go to settings, general, about, but the reboot recovery option isn’t there. power on phone while holding down the “Volume +” key isnt working also.

I bought the Phone from cheapandroids.com last week.:laugh:

What can i do, and what i have to do first.

Sorry, but do you have a manual for dummy's
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jpokirkis:
I see that you have the same problem as I do. It is Goophone Y5 with Android 4.0.3 with iphone style (perfectly looking but with tons of problems like BT not working). There is no Recovery mode in setting, + duringe reboot also does not work, the same problem is with ROM manager. I have lost lots of time trying to reboot in recovery mode and nobody can tell me how to run recovery mode.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaween:
Latitude ?

Hi,

First of all, this is my first post. I've tried to find the answer to my question in the threads about the Y5 and the fantastic job you people do in supporting and making this device better. I've no idea how you people do it, but I thank everyone of you who's involved in this.

Now for my question : I bought a Y5 before I knew this forum, and it works fairly well. I had found a couple of hints about rooting the device and adding Google Play to it, and I guess I must have been really lucky 'cause I managed to make them work without bricking this little phone.

However, and I've seen this comment on this forum : the Y5 refuses to enable location on Google Maps or Latitude if only allowed to use Wifi/Data location. It works when GPS is enabled, but when GPS is disabled, it normaly should be able to do a sort of "quick'n dirty" approximate of the current location, right ? Also, when I try to start Latitude, the phone freezes or informs me "location is currently not available".

Is this issue fixed in this new Rom ? Because I'm somehow not smart enough to try and understand if it is or if it isn't, and as the phone is working quite well with the exception of this issue, I'm a bit reluctant to go ahead and flash it without knowing if this issue is supposed to be solved now.

Thank you for reading. Hope someone is friendly enough to give me an answer which even I as a complete Android nitwit can understand. :o

Again, a new phone from goophone not the x1 but the "ak-47" 256ram/256rom 1ghz processor with mt6575.

It sells for a really cheap price under 100$
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
Any feedback on the new rom would be appreciated :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kurtmcgill:
I had this on an old Gooapple 3G phone and unfortunatley, I never found a fix (it would never boot to Recovery - just hung on the apple logo). I think (if you really know what you are doing), you might be able to force the factory/new Rom to your phone using a pc and Linux based program, but unfortunately I have no idea how. Im sure if you can, one of the techie guys here will be able to help/tell you (Whitetigerdk - will probably know if this is possible) - although trying to explain could be a nightmare.

Good luck.

Thanks for this new Rom guys :) I will download and have a play this evening and will get back to you with any feedback.

Due to your hard work and effort, im loving this phone so far. The Rom knocks the socks of all previous fruit products.

Keep up the good work.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mylove299:
@ whitetigerdk:

Here is some apps that have been translate into English include Photo app. You can port it into your rom. ;)

http://www.mediafire.com/?h4wlz5k8ur8x5d1

And a problem we need to fix on the rom is Google map can't locate your location via 3G or wifi network. it just work only gps signal is fixed.

---------- Post added at 02:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 PM ----------

This issue is a problem on original rom :(. It only works with Baidu map. May be some system files have been changed so we need find out what system file is changed.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SuperABC:
Unfortunately, this version of ROM GooPhone-0711-0702 + Mod-v 1.0, the GPS does not work at all here in Brazil, even setting the apks GPSFIX and FASTERGPS.

I'm going back to version Y5-0520-v2-f-001.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kurtmcgill:
Essentially everything is working fine for me :) loving the new pull-down menu.

One slight strange thing happening with the internet app (safari logo) though. When using 3G or wifi - The 1st time I load the app and input my first page request - it takes about 3 mins to respond and go to the first page.? after the first request of every session all works fine.

I've also noticed this lagging in the play store all pages and search requests work really fast, but it seems to take an age to download an app, but does eventually after about 2/3 mins (was download starts completes within seconds - so this would suggest its a request issue from the phone to the server, rather than data speeds).

So with the above said - Is there a setting that controls this behaviour? If so (and assuming your not getting this issue) please can you send me the files to copy to the root to see if mine are somehow corrupt?

1 other thing. I backed up all my apps using titanium backup before installing the new rom. Now when i restore apps from the restore file - I cant get the app pics to appear on the main menu. The only way I can access them is through settings - store - manage applications or through titanium ect.

Is there any chance of having the same functionality (home page editor) like in myloves299 rom or is this only possible within the I-Launcher rom?

Thanks again - all is looking very tidy.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] u669983:
The lag with google store has been happening for the last 3 days and I think the issue was with the server itself. I experienced it on 3 different devices Y5, V5 3g and tablet. Seems much better this morning.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Conclusion:
Which ROM should I use?

whitetigerdk ROM or mylove299 ROM?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
Try them both out and use the one you like the most..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Conclusion:
Installing lots of ROM will not damage the phone?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
Absolutely not.. when Modding I installed the rom like 20 times a day.. no harm done..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
Now I might have the solution to get you to recovery.. you said that you get to a place where you see a triangle with a " ! " inside, right?

This reminded me of my old HTC Legend.. at this screen we needed to press Volume down + power to get to the recovery.. give it a try.. it might be volume up - really can't remember correctly.. but try it.. and report back.. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Conclusion:
I'll try both out, both ROM have the Apple logo boot?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mylove299:
Yes it has

Here is the link Android 4.0 rom for sophone v75 with the same hardware with goophone Y5. I am trying to port it into Goophone Y5 :laugh:

http://115.com/file/c2el6fvk
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
Unfortunately the 115.com isVERY slow.. Downloading with 7,5 kB/sec ... ZZzzzz.. ETA: 6 hours..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mylove299:
If you want, I can upload it on mediafire website.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
Please do.. two times error while trying now..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Conclusion:
Both ROM of whitetigerdk and mylove299 includes the default apps that came with GooPhone but translated to English?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
Mostly.. Some of them couldn't be easily translated.. These has been replaced by simular apps - but still ones that has the iPhone 4 icons.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Conclusion:
Apps that have been replaced with similar apps have the iOS look? Also I have rooted my GooPhone by following the tutorial but how do I install custom ROM?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] anexonel13:
Hi guys this is just to say that I will try to make a goophone y5 rom using adding some special configuration and other.

Is there any android ui rom for the y5?

+Plus another surprise for you goophone users...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
We don't have an Android UI rom.. I have tried to port from the gooapple but no luck as for now.. my rom is a mix of version 0702 (base) with SystemUI from 0711.. Any news from Android-sale regarding our missing gifts??
[Miscellaneous Android Development] anexonel13:
Ok thanks,

Regarding the missing gifts still nothing, I will try talking to him as soon as he connects.

Also, could you upload the 0711 rom please?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Conclusion:
How do I install custom ROM? I have already rooted my phone via this tutorial,

Sorry for double post, but can you tell me how to install custom ROM, I have already rooted my phone
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Conclusion:
I need CWM and Superuser, where can I download the latest version?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
Here is everything you need to know on the Superuser...:

But here you go..

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Conclusion:
The default Recovery menu doesn't have the option 'Install from SD' only has 'Apply update'
[Miscellaneous Android Development] anexonel13:
Ok, Shine said he will ship the gifts to you.

He sended you an email about it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SuperMatt100:
does the Zagg Invisible shield for iphone 4s work for the goophone?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] anexonel13:
Yes they are both retina screens
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SuperMatt100:
i was actually wondering about the full body
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
Easy.. then you download the rom.. place it in SD card (in root).. and then rename it to update.zip .. now you go and apply update.zip .. and afterwards delete the update.zip from SD card..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zbeyuz:
Can somebody tell me know how to flash a new rom for this phone ? Is it through Chinese Recovery ?

Will I get a full Google Play Apps Store if I flash a new rom ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] acozz1:
Ordered!

I just ordered my phone today, it will be shipped via DHL soon! Do you think there will be any UK custom issues?

Thanks,

Alex
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
If you use my custom rom you will get full working Google Play..

How to flash... Goole on how to flash custom roms.. When you have the knowledge.. go use the Chinese Recovery..

Translation of the different menus can be found in this thread...

But all in all guys... You need to have a basic knowledge in how to flash a rom.. (It's basically the same for every Android-device outthere)

The Basic help we will not provide more of in this thread..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Conclusion:
Do I need to wipe cache and stuff or just install it?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
Always Backup .. then Wipe.. then Instal...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kurtmcgill:
I think it will as I got this one http://www.expertshielduk.com/apple-iphone-4-screen-protector.html and it fits perfectly.

very good protcetor with no fuss or messy liquid to apply.

No you should not have any issues with customs.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] anexonel13:
@supermatt100 I do not think so as my phone was priced low around 60$ here in canada. And I do not remember any us customers complaining about customs fee.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SuperMatt100:
Yeah im not worried :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gatun:
If the phone is not yet shipped u can ask the seller to put the cn22 green label on the parcel. For me worked...

[Miscellaneous Android Development] acozz1:
Ok, thanks! I will see how it goes....
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Conclusion:
I renamed the file to update.zip and placed it in SD card, booted to Android System Recovery (Power & Volume+) and selected apply update from sdcard and selected the update.zip file and it says,
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Conclusion:
Can someone help me please
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
Since it seems that your phone is not the Goophone Y5 there's probably not much help to get.. Guess most people has left for vacation..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Conclusion:
I ordered it on Android-sales an it stated as Goophone Y5, how do I check the exact phone name and model?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
Try contacting Android-sale to have them tell you exactly what model they sent you. They do know that the Goophone Y5 does not run ICS.. so they should be able to tell you what they sent to you..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SuperABC:
Hey guys !

Today I read ads about the launch of GooPhone Y6, built with the new dual-core CPU MTK6577.

There are youtube videos.

True or fake?

Goophone y5 unboxing from you will know who... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrcUryqQVrE&feature=g-all-u
[Miscellaneous Android Development] u669983:
Normally android-sales are serious people and would send you the right stuff.

I have read thay you have rooted your phone. Do you have super user?

Did you install a CWM image? You need this to be able to install new rom. If you havent done so you can find the Y5 recovery on whitetiger site.

Install it to your sd card, get into mobileuncletools and choose recovery update. This will point you to the recovery image you just copied to your sd card. Choose it and it reboot your phone in the CWM recovery and from there you can flash your rom.

If you have done all this , and still doesnt get into recovery then as whitetiger said get in touch with android-sales to find out if your phone is the proper one.

Good luck

lingua

Hi all, I have a GooPhone Y5 and I must say that it works really well, but I can not get the applications written in (gallery and App Store) with my own language, in Italian .... remain in Japanese, how can I do? THANKS IN ADVANCE TO ALL!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Conclusion:
It says Model number MD239ZP, is it the Goophone Y5?

I followed your instructions and installed whitetigerdk ROM but the font doesn't look the same as the ROM provided by GooPhone
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
Can you provide us with screenshots?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Conclusion:
Screenshot of the model number?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
No, the difference of the two fonts..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Conclusion:
I installed from the original Goophone ROM to your ROM and it seems that the lockscreen font is lighter and the settings font is bolder
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
Weird.. since my rom is a modification of the original.. nothing regarding the fonts has been changed..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Conclusion:
Can you post some screenshots of your lockscreen and settings so I can compare it to mine please

0711 is the latest version of Goophone ROM?

Could I use apps from original Goophone ROM in your ROM?

I would like to use iLauncher instead of the launcher that is provided so I can change the app name and icon, but iLauncher displays the icon and iLauncher in the menu, is it possible to change the app name and icon?

Is the original Goophone ROM gallery in English or Chinese? In your ROM, all iOS looks are the same just languages and tweaks done?

Do I suppose to have CWM? I only have Superuser and Mobileuncletools and can you provide translations in Recovery menu as it's in Chinese
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
It's a lot of questions and I will answer once I'm at the computer.. the translation of the recovery can be found elsewhere in this thread..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] anexonel13:
I also might be getting a goophone but becauuse the iphone 5 launch is coming soon I am wondering if I should get it or wait for gooapple to release there new phone.

The screen of the recovery + translations can be found here..

[Miscellaneous Android Development] SuperMatt100:
Have you tried Espier launcher? it lets you change icons and names and add widgets and still looks like ios
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Conclusion:
Thanks for helping me, sorry it's alot of questions, can you printscreen the two recovery pages as mine shows different I think,

[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
That is wierd.. Since it is a PDF-file.. Have you tried to download the PDF and open it in either Foxit Reader or Adobe Acrobat Reader?

I'm on a Mac.. and seriously.. I don't know how to make a print screen on the mac :confused:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Conclusion:
I will downlad it and open it with Foxit Reader, are you at home?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SuperMatt100:
Command+Shift+3 for full screen and command+shift+4 to select an area. The screenshot should save on the desktop. I used to use macs at school.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
For a very brief period of time.. Just doing the laundry and then off to see the new Batman - The Dark Knight Rises :)

Hi, I just received my goophone, turned on and it seemed to be working fine but I turned it off and I can't turn it back on again!! Is there any hard reset on the phone? I am really worried....

Thanks,

Alex
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
Holding the power- and the home-button simultaneously for around 10-15 secs will do the hard reset..

Otherwise as stated at least two times earlier in this thread the goophone has a weeknes in the solder of the red wire for the battery.. so it might be possible that you need to have it open and have the red wire soldered on properly .. I had to do so on my phone..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] acozz1:
Thank you soo much! The hard reset worked :) You are awesome :good:

I don't why my phone can't use 3G to chat using Line ow Whatsapp... I can only use 3G use surf the web... Anybody know how to solve this problem ??

Hi, some providers actually has closed the possibility to use communication apps like Skype and Viber etc. using the 3G data connection.. (Causing them to loose money on the talk-plan)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Conclusion:
Sorry about this and double post, don't know if you are on your computer yet but if you are help me please
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
1) Screenshots of lockscreen I haven't found a way to make.. The programs I have tried requires to go inside the OS to work..

2) 0711 is the latest rom, yes.. It is written at my site as well.. (It's currently unmodded since I had some problems getting Google Play to work - but I'm still working on this issue)

3) Yes u can use the apps from the original rom in my rom as well .. But I don't see a reason to do so.. If you want the programs.. Use the original rom..

4) Yes iLauncher generates an icon on the screen when installed.. If you look at the settings for this launcher - you will see that it has an option to hide its program icon.. Use this option ;)

EDIT: New thread will be made regarding only my custom modded roms...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Conclusion:
Is your lockscreen font thin and Settings font is bold?

The original ROM doesn't have working Google Play

I have checked iLauncher and it doesn't have a option to hide iLauncher

When I use iLauncher, the homescreen apps font is bold instead of thin font with the original launcher

Also can you provide me the wallpaper that is used with the original launcher as the wallpaper provided by iLauncher is different
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
My lockscreen font is thin..

If iLauncher doesn't have that option it is because you use a to new version of the launcher.. The older one had this option (google it)

No I cannot provide you with the wallpaper.. Once again .. use google .. it isn't hard to google "iPhone 4 wallpaper" ..

Not all is given inhere.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Conclusion:
Can't seem to find the latest old version of iLauncher which allows to hide iLauncher app

When I use iLauncher, the homescreen apps font is bold instead of thin font with the original launcher, how do I make the launcher homescreen font thin?

Notes app is included in your ROM which I need daily which isn't included in the original ROM
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
yes I have added some apps.. but your question went if you could use apps from original rom in my rom.. what apps MISSING in MY rom?
