No. But you might try to go to settings for applications - find the launcher and chose clear standard.. then if more than one launcher is installed you'll get to choose by pressing home..

If not.. try to download the ADW launcher.. it comes close to the default Android launcher - just has a lot more configurations.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
For what purpose? You can just download the Rom from my site.. unzip it and take the default system folder from there..

Have got a new iphonewallpaper.apk that someone else posted. Will send it to whitetigerdk post his website .You can copy it to system/apps using root explorer, modify permissions to rw/r/r

and restart.

Perso I still did not like the choice of images in them . So you can then open the apk file using winrar ( Do not extract the files !! ) , open the res folder, then open drawable-xhdpi - you will find all the wallpapers in there under name w1.png , w2.png etc etc . You can replace them with your own pictures ( you have to adjust the size of yr pictures to 640x960. Then close the files. Following that you have to sign the apk file. You can do it by using androidcommander or other tools available on the internet. Then copy the file again to systems/app , adjust permission as above and restart.

We need a new ROM.

More bugs:

1- Can't change the default keyboard. When restarting, the original keyboard returns as default.

2-It is necessary to adjust the battery meter and calibrate it properly.

3-Improve the camera auto-focus.

I'm quite liking GooPhone Y5.

It is the best and faithful copy of the "original device".

Has a few bugs in the firmware, but I believe that the next ROM version should fix them.

Big hug,

SuperABC from Brazil
[Miscellaneous Android Development] winnipegmike:
I agree that a new rom is needed. I have no problem with the keyboard though, smart keyboard is the default for me and always is there after restarting. The auto focus is acceptable, but very slow for me. I also have the hardware problem with the camera flash, but I haven't fixed it yet. The battery meter is a huge problem. It shows 5%, and when i plug it in it immediately goes to 40-50% within 2 seconds, so there is something very wrong with that.

After 5 days with the phone and doing a lot of tweaking to get it set up the way I want, I must say that its very good with the exceptions of the software issues.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] poldone:
when trying to update ROM of whitetiger I get this error message:

-- Install /sdcard ...

Error: invalid OTA package

Update.zip is not correct

Instalatio aborted.

any help?

[Miscellaneous Android Development] valviz:
Try installing the ROM using the recovery.img with the m44-toolbox provided on his website. The files should be located under the "Rooting GooPhone Y5" tab.

Guys, how I do a print-screen on GooPhone Y5 ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
Google is your friend ;) .. Try google Android +screenshot .. you will most likely find links for such programs.. Download .apk - copy them to your phone.. and install.. (This is the way to do it when Google Play is currently not working on the new ROM)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] u669983:
@valviz hres the link for the 0510 rom : http://www.vdisk.cn/down/index/10144398

Perso I think there are too many bugs with this version and it might not be worth it just for the sake of having a working gplay when you can get all apps you want on apotoide. But the choice is yours. You flash the same way as the other versions

---------- Post added at 08:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:19 AM ----------

As whitetiger said this has been covered before. the mistake you are doing when using the chinese recovery is you are choosing the 2nd line I thine flash update.zip. The recovery is the looking for a file called update.zip which obviously is not there.

You should choose the 5th option if I remember well which gives you the option of selecting your rom file from sd card .
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AaronPusteButz:
Hey guys!

Tried to partition my (intern) sd-card and know it won't boot -.- tried to reinstall but still won't working. Any ideas? Is there any way to reformat it? It stucks on the boot logo. Windows shows it as an ADB device and I have adb access but commands like "adb shell" or fastboot are not working, please I need help :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] valviz:
Alright thanks! I'm confused about installing though. It's a "7z" file instead of zip.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AaronPusteButz:
Does anyone knows what the factory mode is?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] valviz:
Alright thanks, I'll try getting it to work. So far no luck. Recovery menu doesn't detect the 7z and renaming it to .zip doesn't work.

SCAM BY SWEDISHPHONES.COM

Hi all..

I have purchased the Mega Language Pack 2 from swedishphones.com and now claimed him for a FULL REFUND!

It seems that his "MEGA LANGUAGE PACK" can be downloaded from Google Play under the name of

"Set Locale And Language"..

Will report him to PayPal for scam if he does not do a full refund!!

Edit: Money fully refunded.. Will use them for futher development instead.. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SuperABC:
I agree !

---------- Post added at 11:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:35 AM ----------

People, good day!

I'm using the ROM of "mylove299".

Without any doubt, is the best ROM for GooPhone Y5.

It is much faster and fluid than the version 0608.

Google Play Store works perfectly. Just after upload the ROM, give a RESET in the settings of the device.

After I post more features.

Now yes, I can use the GooPhone daily !!!

Big hug,

SuperABC from Brazil

Try hold the botton of the stock app camera. Auto-focus is very faster.

Did you turn on usb debugs mode on your phone?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:

will do

Edit : just saw that this rom is based on Android 2.3.6. but my phone runs Android 4.0.3 ?????

I have a GooPhone Y5 V75 so this is not for my phone???
[Miscellaneous Android Development] u669983:
The goophone Y5 does not run on ICS 4.03 . It runs with an IOS interface based on android 2.3.6

You also mention V75 . This is sophone not Goophone. So make sure which phone you have before flashing new roms

---------- Post added at 05:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:34 PM ----------

Its really sad that there are so many scams around. Its good that you have been able to claim back. Anyway the money can be used to support your website

. Keep it up
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
Would like to get the hands on the ROM from that phone.. The phones might be almost identical in hardware. If they are - it should be easy to port the Android 4.0 to the GooPhone.

@u669983 and SuperABC> Thanx for your contribute/donation. So far I now have enough to cover the hosting service for 6 month.. :)

Hopefully more will join in the donation (I know it still can be hard since I so far haven't developed anything yet .. will come as soon as my new toy arrives ;) )

Then later on support hopefully will come for more phones and newer roms and so on :)

GooPhone has the same dimension as iPhone 4S?

GooPhone support is good?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] anexonel13:
Yes, Same dimension. And please keep your questions on one thread.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Lither:
So all the information I've gathered from few posts are,

Gooapple build/software is better than Goophone/Dami but there are more support and ROM for Gooapple

Dami specs are better than Goophone but Goophone specs are better than Gooapple

Which one should I go for?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
For now I chose to go with the Goophone.. the specs are better than gooapple, the price is the same (on android-sale.com), yes Dami is a little better but also cost nearly $80-$90 more on difference of 200MZh cpu-speed.. oh yes.. and 8mp camera instead of 5, but as Anexonel says.. phone has no support yet. Anexonel has good support for the gooapple and I'm currently building support site for goophone at http://www.dkmdesign.dk
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Lither:
There are no difference between Gooapple and Goophone in dimensions? All Goophone apps are English and does Google Play work?

P.S - About the memory, is the memory card near the motherboard?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
You should try to read the whole thread then you will see that your questions are already answered.. and yes they are all identically with iPhone 4/4s dimensions.. this is the entire idea of these phones ;)

Y5 from android sale

I received a Y5 that I purchased from android sale for my bro today. It was a but different from my first one that I got from the goophone official shop.

The camera flash leak has been sorted out . They have actually glued a piece of black material between the flash and the camera, So issue solved.

I struggled a bit with this one to start with as I could not boot into recovery. In fact the phone is soft-rooted from factory. To boot into recovery I had to press power and plus volume key simultaneously .

That got me into the 3e recovery. I then flashed the Y5 recovery as per description in whitetigerdk website.

Following that I could use mobileuncle toolbok to flash into the Y5 CWM recovery and thereafter flashed a new rom.

I have tried mylove269 rom. Its good overall. I oerso prefered the original launcher so I installed it back. Gplay works well. I am still interested how he did it. The apps are ok. I have removed those that I do not like and replaced by mine.

I have noticed one bug so far: Ifone double press the menu key , it actually reboots teh phone instead of lauching the task bar.

---------- Post added at 05:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:12 PM ----------

Ah - another annoying small bug in all rom versions so far , the ringtones and notifications tones names are always displayed in chinese in spite of locale,

I have been able to change them by pulling out the ogg files from system/media/audio and editing the tags using advanced wma workshop.

Its not complicated to do but if some of you are interested I could upload the modified ringtones , so all you would have to do is to swap with the original ones
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
U know I would love tho have those.. I'm planning a modded rom that will include all these issued we come up with... :)

EDIT: by the way.. currently rebuilding the site..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] FoxBoyStudios:
Can you post a picture on how u fixed the camera flash leak issue
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Lither:
I've read the whole thread today, but I've few questions that nobody has asked,

1. Is the memory card near the motherboard?

2. The SD card provided in Goophone is likely to be Class 4, is it possible to change it to Class 10, will there be a difference?

3. Goophone has the same screen as iPhone?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
2 of them I can answer here:

Yes it is very likely a class 4 card and yes you can change it to class 10 - and it will make a difference.

Yes the phone has the same retina screen as iPhone 4/4s (you can see that if you follow the links provided several times in this thread: ie. My site, I have the full specs on that site ;) )

If the men.card is near the motherboard? What do you mean exactly? The phone is thin so everything is near the motherboard.. as I recall this thread shows pictures of an open phone for you to see.. else look at the gooapple v5 3g thread.. it has the pictures..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] u669983:
have added them in my the ringtone and notifications folder in my shared for u. have also added the touch recovery img ( new-recovery)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
Thanx..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Lither:
Goophone motherboard will definitely support class 10? I've read through the whole thread but don't see open Goophone images. Is it easy to exchange the memory card?

Since there are few developers on making new ROM for Goophone and the manufactures, the Goophone will be better than Gooapple?

When buying Goophone, is there a specific model I should choose?

Also which is the best place to buy Goophone?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
Best place is to go to android-sale.com
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Lither:
Goophone motherboard will definitely support class 10? The Goophone has the same build as Gooapple? Because I seen a video on Youtube on how to swap memory card on Gooapple, so it should be the same on Goophone?

Since there are few developers on making new ROM for Goophone and the manufactures, the Goophone will be better than Gooapple?

When buying Goophone, is there a specific model I should choose?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] whitetigerdk:
Jesus Christ!!! COME ON!! You don't have 2 repost your questions!!!

If and when people have an answer they will answer you! RELAX!

YES!! The Goophone WILL support your class 10 card!

YES! The inside of the GooApple, The DAMI Y5 and the GooPhone Y5 is located same places .. so yes the videos you have see is the right way to do it!

If the Goophone is better than the Gooapple you have to judge for yourself! We don't own both phones! The people inhere chose the GooPhone over the Gooapple.. This is why this thread was created in the first place!

Regarding specific model.. There is only 1 GooPhone Y5 .. Not like the GooApple that has different models (V5, V5 3G)

This should cover your questions.. Futher I might be able to reply once I get my phone.. (As stated earlier in this thread I'm still waiting for my phone - it has finnaly arrived to my country! - now just wait for delevery)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Lither:
Sorry that I double post the same question twice, just wanted to make sure before I buy it next week, also thanks for replying to all my questions

My final decision is that I'll go for Goophone as the specs is better than Gooapple and both costs the same, there are few Goophone ROM developers and manufacture which will bring Goophone better than Gooapple
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Lither:

I've purchased Goophone Y5 from Android-sales today, hope I receive it soon! :fingers-crossed:

What screwdriver do I need to open up the Goophone?

Also is there a tutorial on how to root Goophone and install custom ROM?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] !n0x:
Sorry for being a bit redundant for some questions. I am curious.

1. Which would be better, in terms of ROM support and battery life? Was thinking of Dami Y5, but it has virtually no custom ROM support, unlike the GooPhone Y5. Would've been better if Dami Y5 got custom ROM/rooting love as well :P Was thinking of saving up for one (forthelulz and a backup phone, or whatever floats my boat)

2. Does GooPhone Y5 run ICS?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jq4W8BBbnqI

Noticed the ICS gallery, browser and popups here, so I'm curious.

3. Not to defeat the purpose of having the phone, but has anyone decided to port AOSP/CM9/AOKP ROMs to this? would be awesome.

4. Battery is 1420mAh, right?
