If it is a one-time fee, i think is fair enough. he is helping a lot of us with his work. That's my personal opinion of course :good:

when are you planning to release the 4.0 ver rom?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
ooh...No ETA at the moment.. There are a lot of things that need to be fixed.. Drivers etc.. Has to be found and tested etc.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zelendel:
You are not allowed to charge for roms. Please read the rules again. If you are doing this for money then you are doing it wrong.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SuperABC:
Where to see it?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gatun:
In recovery, under apply file from SD card, can u see signature verification and assert script? If yes u must select this two option with power button and u can see on bottom the screen enabled/disabled every time u press it. They must be always disabled.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SuperABC:
NO, i can't see this option.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gatun:
And "install update from sdcard"? Can u take a picture of your recovery?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SuperABC:
ok, look:

---
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SuperABC:
I discovered the defect.

I had to calibrate the proximity sensor.

Now everything is ok, I make calls and get normally.

What I need now is a tutorial to update new ROM on the phone, because by recovery gives error of OTA.

Can anyone help me?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] u669983:
If my memory is good you DO not select the apply update from sd card ( which is the 2nd option) . Go to Choose file from sd card , which is 4th or 5th option. The update one you are choosing is looking for a file called update.zip which is not there !!

P.S Also the image you have posted in previous post show that you are going into the 3e recovery which is not for flashing rom. You have to install the recovery img avail on whitetigerdk site. This one is the cwm. It is in chinese though but its not too difficulte to navigate as you will see the key words like factory , data, sd card in english. Run that from mobileuncle tolls and only then you can flash the rom.

If its not clear enough dont take chances, I will try to write a step by step description and post. But wont have time to do this until tomorrow at least

Update in fact you have to apply either the 5th ( choose zip sd1 or 6th option choose zip sd2 - depending on where you have copied the new rom
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
Finally my phone will be shipped. Was out of stuck, but now it's back.. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] u669983:
Who you ordered from ? I ordered one for my brother from Android sale yesterday. My first order fm them. Hope they are serious as their price for the Goophone Y5 is unrivalled
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
Mine is from Android-Sale as well.. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] anexonel13:
Buy it here http://anexonel.weebly.com/shop.html (I am a android-sale partner so you get a gift)

It is 209.99$ US.

And also guys, what languages are you looking for? I find some that I will soon be put on my website.

And how much did you collected for the mega pack? If I dont find, I will donate the rest :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
No one yet has donated :( we can split it.. will be $5 each..

Edit: could be great to make custom roms containing all the languages by default...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SuperABC:
Tks u669983, by responding...

here we go:

My GooPhone Y5 is rooted = OK

Downloaded the recovery.img WhiteTiger site = OK

I copied the recovery to the SdCard = OK

I open the MobileUncleTools and click on "Flash Recovery From SdCard = OK

After I click recovery img = OK

Then, the phone reboots and goes for recovery screen.

But I see nothing type CWM (Flash Recovery), and yes the screens that I posted earlier (3e recovery).

What's wrong, guys ?

I'm half desperate here!

Help!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] anexonel13:
What languages are in the pack? Ill try talking to rofen and androidsale to see if they have it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
SuperABC: You are entering the wrong recovery. The phone has 2 different recoveries if I understand u669983 correct..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SuperABC:
And how I do to access the 2th recovery?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] u669983:
@superabc. You have to download and copy the recovery file from the website to your sd card. Then from mobileuncle tool you choose Recovery update. It will search and show you the recovery.img you have on your sd cards. You select the one you have just added , select ok . It will flsh the recovery and reboot into the chinese recovery . You will see its green color ( it does Not say CWM but if you have flashed the correct one you should not the 3e or the android logo and the exclam mark either)

From there one you follow the usual steps for flashing rom:

Factory reset ( 3rd line ) then clear cash data ( 4th Line \0 and only after those 2 steps you select the choose zip from sdcard option to flash the rom ( 5th line or 6th line depending on which sdcard you have saved the rom)

remember you navigate with +1 volume keys and action using power button.

Its always in chinese . the first line on the chinese recovery means reboot.

So after you finish flashing go back to the first menu of the recovery ( by pressing the phone menu button) and select reboot.

Also remember that the hard reset for the Y5 is by pressing power and menu key at same time for 10 secs.

Update :- I am reaading your post again and see that you are using mobileuncletools 1.44. Thats Ok. You did the correct step:"Flash Recovery From SdCard = OK

That will show you the recovery.img you have on your card and should reboot into the green chinese recovery. I tried it 3 times just now. So I do not understand how you end up with the 3e recovery still!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SuperABC:
Owww!

Now I'm very happy!

I managed to climb the new ROM Y5-0608-F-002, finally.

The problem was the old version of MobileUncle that used (downloaded from net) After installing and using the app m44-toolbox, I follow in the steps of friend @u669983 and everything worked, worked perfect.

I would like to thank the friends, @u669983, @whitetigerdk, @anexonel13, @gatun, and everyone in the community for wonderful help!

Now, I will work to customize the new "toy", he he...

Big hug to everyone!

Pre-order?

Hello Anexonel, the description for Goophone Y5 (after following the link on your shop page) says that it is available only for pre-order and will ship in May end. Is it available now? Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] anexonel13:
Well it is a personal choice as it is on his website. And he is not the one that exposed a payment on the forum they had to pay for it.

*(Even if I personally do not charge for my roms,I have other ways... )* :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mayiandjay:

I have purchased your rom but, see no download link.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SuperMatt100:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
Hi, holding down power and home for app. 10-15 secs will do a hard reset..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SuperMatt100:
i tried that a few times and it still wont turn on i think i was sent a faulty one cause when it was on the screen would get really weird and id have to lock the phone for a little bit before it would look normal again :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] anexonel13:
Did you unplugged the cable before doing it?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
Sorry guys..

I have made up my mind to remove ALL Goophone Y5 support from XDA.. you will not see further work from me located inhere - as I will no longer answer any questions regarding the GooPhone Y5 on XDA anymore..

Thank you for your understanding..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] anexonel13:
Why?!? Check your pm by the way? :confused:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SuperMatt100:
if your asking if i unplugged it before turning it off then no if your asking if i unplugged it before trying to hard reset it yes and no i tried when it was plunged in and i tried when it was unplugged the thing just wont turn on
[Miscellaneous Android Development] anexonel13:

i think that actually is the reason why my phone wont turn on cause now if i plug it in my computer and hold the power button it says that the battery needs to be charged more

(edit) out of no where its working again

(edit again) the screen still seems to randomally start acting up sorta starts bouncing and gets really dis-formed then eventually goes black i have to turn off the screen for a bit to get the screen to look normal but it starts getting dis-formed again a little bit after

If someone can help me out, or point me in the right direction, I would really like to provide support for the i5 when it's delivered in a few weeks.

Someone find the way to fix Google Play Store?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
Sounds great about the recovery :)

Yes - this is the package that I want us to join in buying.. It should bring to the iOS phones more languages to system than what is default..

Ie. I should be able to get Danish and SuperABC get Brazil and so on..

Regarding Google Play store, will find a way when I get my phone :) ..

Currently u669983 has the Gmail app to work.. so It's a step in the right direction..

Also can anyone tell me a way to change the icons on the launcher I hate having to look a the white default box around some icons
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
All working accessories for iPhone should work for the Goophone..

[Miscellaneous Android Development] FoxBoyStudios:
Does anyone know how I can run apps like max payne, nova 3, and gta 3 on my goophone y5, do I have to edit the build prop to download the sd data like some other phones, is it even capable of running it/handling it
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
As for now - since no Google Play is working - you have to find the .apk files online and copy them to the phone - then install using a filemanager (ie. ES file manager)

And yes - the phone is very capable of playing these games.. The phone-power is there..

My Goophone Y5 review/comments

I ordered a Goophone Y5 from androidmobilepad on May 29th. I received it on June 17th, so the shipping to Canada wasn't super fast but pretty good. It was packaged very well and I had no duty or tax to pay on it. It came pre rooted with plenty of games on the sd card (which I won't install, but they are there). It is a great copy of the iphone, and has a good quality feel. I flashed the 0608 rom, but I honestly didn't like it as much as the 0520, so I went back to the old one. I installed the smart keyboard from whitetiger's site (thanks), and that made a world of difference.

Call quality is good, reception is good, battery life is kind of poor (i got 12 hours today, talked for maybe an hour and texted quite a bit). I put on an aluminum case , a vapor 4 from element case and I completely lost all signal, so a warning to anyone who wants that case...it doesnt work! The proximity sensor wouldnt work with a screen protector on, that was very confusing to figure out. It also doesn't work with my ipod dock on my stereo, which is disappointing. The email works well. I cant get the maps to work. 3g works well. Screen is awesome. Wifi signal is very good. I would really like an android ui rom for it. Overall it's a pretty good phone and hopefully newer roms will make it even better.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SuperABC:
Definitely, Google Play Store doesn't work on GooPhone Y5 - ROM 0608.

Perfectly, Voxer, Viber and Skype work in GooPhone Y5 - ROM 0608, with good quality.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] u669983:
Yes agree thats its a nice phone overall . The main issue found with the 0520 rom was a intermittent rebooting of the phone on its own. Also Viber does not work well .These bugs were corrected with the 0608 rom. But If you do not have these issues then its great .

The next rom will address the Gplay apparently . Lets hope they publish it soon.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] u669983:
Y5 issues and solutions

While some of you are waiting for their phones to arrive , I thought that I would publish here some issues that I found with My y5 and the solutions to them.

However I want to insist that my phone was one of the first batch . So maybe you wont notice same issues with yours:

1. Camera Flash leakage giving blurred pictures when flash used. This is a physical defect in design. Solved by placing a very small piece of rubber between the flash and the camera . Some others used a piece of black tape in between but I did not find this appropriate .

2. Phone freezing when making calls - Solution Open camera app and take a picture , then hard reset the phone ( the Y5 does not have hidden reset as the Gooapple V5 ) by pressing power and home buttons for abt 20 secs until phone restarts. Then go to settings , general, accessibility, display, proximity sensor calibration and ok.

3. There is an evident disparity between level of audio during a call and ring tone level. If you adjust the ringtone level to a normal tone using the volume keys then the call audio gets too low:

Solution - Access the MTK engineering mode . 2 methods for this either use mobile uncle tools and select mtk engineering mode or simply Dial * # * # 3646633 # * # *

then follow the following steps :

Audio

Normal Mode

Type Select Sph

Level 0 below the Value is 0 ~ 160 fill and then press the Set button to save

Level 1 below the Value is 0 ~ 160 fill out the 80 and then press the Set button to save

Level 2 below the Value is 0 ~ 160 fill 100 and then press the Set button to save

Level 3 below, the Value is 0 ~ 160 fill out the 128 and then press the Set button to save

Level 4 below, the Value is 0 ~ 160 fill 136 and then press the Set button to save

Level 5 below, the Value is 0 ~ 160 fill out the 148 and then press the Set button to save

Level 6 below, the Value is 0 ~ 160 fill out the 160 and then press the Set button to save

Exit and restart.

:

---------- Post added at 06:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:59 PM ----------

Another small issue with Y5 ( just as for gooapple v5 3g ) is that it does not give the option of using a camera picture as lock screen wallpaper while this is possible for the desktop wallpaper.

This can however be tackled by modifying the iphonewallpaper.apk in system/app.

If anyone is interested in this let me know.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SuperABC:
Please friend @u669983, I would like to know how to do this !
[Miscellaneous Android Development] winnipegmike:
