The counter being raised doesn't affect the ota. And just clear the data on Google services framework in the application settings then go and check for the update in The main menu. If it fails again just Odin it rather than get hung up on it passing

I know that the counter doesn't affect the OTA. My counter is still at 0, and I didn't want to appear to void my warranty or mess with Triangle Away.

Thanks for the tip on the Google Services Framework. I restored the settings on it from a Titanium backup, and the OTA fired off right away. Thanks for the tip!

Just flash a stock recovery and download voodoo rootkeeper from the play store and flash the ota like you normally would and you should be good to go.

Hi could someone tell me what this path means : /storage/emulated/0

This is what shows up when I use a file manager to access the phone's storage.

This has the following permission next to the path "dr" while /storage/sdcard0 has "drw" as permission. The first path only showed up after the 4.2 update. I never experienced that on 4.1.2. What I got with 4.1.2 was /mnt/sdcard when file manager is being used.

I enjoy being able to access my entire music collection in the cloud using the Google Play Music app, but there are several things about the app that I do not like and would like to change.

Specifically I want the genre tab to sort by artist name instead of by album name.

Does anyone know how I can accomplish this and other modifications to the app? I am familiar with decompiling apks, but not so much with smali code.

Hi I am interested in buying this phone but i haven't found any reviews of it around exept from a video from android-sale. Does anyone have this phone? Anyone tested yet? thank you!
[General Questions and Answers] sweetiepie_HH:
Mine arrived yesterday from Android Sales.

First disclaimer - it doesn't come with Android 4 as advertised. Only Android 2.3.6 is installed, so I am currently pissed. Trying to contact them. I don't feel like wasting time learning how to root and install custom roms...

The tech specs seem legit - there is a 1Ghz MT6575 chip in there, retina display, etc. The camera seems good to me. The retina display is slightly faulty - it has a light shimmer on the edge, upper half only. Nothing I actually notice unless I have a black screen.

This is my first android, so I am probably not much help with anything else. It crashed on me a couple of times... nothing major, though. Had trouble with the connection, though it imrpoved when using a different SIM. Probably a combination of not so good antenna, crappy wifi and crappier carrier.
[General Questions and Answers] xaikman:
well, it supposed to have android 4, so there is a good chance they send you another phone. (perhaps goophone y5). You should contact them immediately. good luck with this!

[General Questions and Answers] rafkhan:
Gooapple v5+

Hello,

I have got mine couple of days back from android-sale.com (took 25 days-india). The phone looks fantastic and feels solid. Following are the few spec details:

1) Retina screen (same as iphone 4)

2) Antenna similar to iphone 4 (not 4S)

3) 8MP camera and works like charm

4) CPU MTK 6575 1GHz- Smooth UI performance

5) No chinese app. Comes pre-installed with android google play, youtube, google maps, yahoo weather app- all in english

6) Superb software- very stable and identical to iOS.

7) very good wifi and network reception.

This phone is a good value for money. However, there are certain problems

1) Batter performance is poor.

2) Very small amount of internal space left (~ 15MB). You can't install many apps. After installing couple of apps device memory goes full.

3) Due to the space crunch heavy apps like facebook, skype etc. eventally shut down.

4) Boot up screen show android logo instead of apple (not a big issue)

All in all the phone built quality is great and considering the price its among the best iphone 4 clone available in the market.

Hope this will help you. If you have any question you can ask without any hesitation.

Luck :)

Hello I'm very interested in the phone and what you said about the pros and cons. Do you solve some of the cons like the small intern memory or the Android boot logo our the ending of some bigger Apps? Do you think the internal memory would be better on a Goophone y5 our a thunderbird 4s? I want to have a iPhone 4 clone as second phone but I want to have the most important Apps on out too. My first phone is an original galaxy s2 and apart of the multiple crush boots its a good one but the design of the ip4 is awesome and I want it to have Android.

[General Questions and Answers] bOyka8:
I've got the GooApple V5+ too from android-sale.com but since 12 december and it's working pretty well for me. I've done some research on it and found some cool things and some things that rafkhan can be fixed.

1. The bootlogo is apple for me but sometimes it changes to Android for an unknown reason.

2. The battery works pretty good for me, it just depends what you have running on the background. I can use it for 1 day and a half maybe? But I usually just use it normal, then play a game for like 30 mins and at night I always recharge it.

3. The low internal issue can be fixed. I changed mine to 2.15 gb :D check my Signature for that.

4. The phone can be rooted so thats not a problem either.

5. I placed my GooApple V5+ next to a friends / brothers iphone 4s and each time, they think mine is the real one , untill I show the back which shows GooApple haha.

So yeah , I'm pretty much content with this phone.

I'm also trying a lot of stuff like when you go into USB Storage Mode, it shows the android logo, I wanna change this to the iphone kind.

If I do anything nicely, I'll add it to my Signature.

The only cons I have is:

The back shows GooApple -> Can be fixed by buying a real back cover.

The phone doesn't have Dutch (Language in Belgium / Netherlands) -> English ain't a big problem personally

The USB Storage Mode is like Android -> Changing that soon !

I'm even ordering a new one for a friend of mine cause he was pretty jealous :D
[General Questions and Answers] chrisrock782003:
Hello man I'm very thankful for your fast response. As I can read the Gooapple therms to be one of the best clones and with little work it can become even better. Is yours a white or black one I'd its the white one what does the home button look like is it real white like pin the Android Sale video our is it greyish like the other ones was the original google play installed and functional and is there a possibility to get a original looking gallery. What's about the performance and the velocity of the cam and the look of the photos. Thanks for answering.

Greetings Chris!
[General Questions and Answers] bOyka8:
Hey Chris, I asked some person which was the best iphone 4s replica atm and he responded with the GooApple V5+ so I bought it and still don't regret it !

I do regret that I haven't bought the 32gb but I recently bought me a Kingston 32gb SD Card (class 10) so that has been solved for me too.

Mine is black but you have to know that you can change everything, yup everything of the phone ! The original iphone 4/4s things (cases, covers, usb charchers etc.. can be used on this phone as it's such a good replica. So even if it is grey, you can buy yourself a real iphone 4s white button and put it in there yourself but I don't know how to remove the cover, as I haven't tried yet :p

It will most likely be a lot like how you remove the cover on the real iphone.

I think it is the original Google Play yeah and it works pretty good ! Have found everything I needed.

About the original looking gallery, there is someone who made it (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1880314&page=24) but you have to look around to find the link.

The photos are very good itself when it's light enough. But I did compare the real iphone 4s with the GooApple V5+ and the iphone 4s is a bit smoother then the gooapple when moving around but who the hell takes pictures while moving right .. :D

If you have more questions , shoot !
[General Questions and Answers] chrisrock782003:
Man thanks a lot you´re the biggest help for me.:good:

Could you please tell me if there are two different kinds of design for the gooapple v5+, one like the ip4 and one like the ip4s?

Because on the original gooapple homepage it looks like you can choose between those two design options.

It isn´t that important for me but if I could choose between the two I would choose the ip4 design. The reason is that the gooapple v5+ has a mtk 6575 with 1,0 Ghz and no Siri so its comparable with the ip4. And the ip4s has double the processor speed and siri. So if someone realizes that I have an ip4s and the one is interested in the phone he would like to have an example how good siri works and I can´t show him. So if it would like an ip4 he wouldn´t ask. Sorry for the stupidity as I said it´s no reason to buy another phone just a thought.:confused:

Do you think if you buy the one with the 8gb memory and you change it with a 32gb sd card you can also manage to get 2.15gb of rom like you have it?

I want to buy the white one with the smallest memory because external SD cards are less expensive in the moment but I´m not sure now.

Many Greetings!
[General Questions and Answers] bOyka8:
I don't know what to compare the V5+ to the most, 4 or 4S.. My brother has a 4S though but I'm liking the one I have so I don't bother too much at comparing xd

But people have told me that the antenna is more like the 4 so I think its actually more based on the 4 (GooApple V5+).

There is something similar to Siri for Android like Andi and Skyvi.

And yeah I think it's better if you get the 8gb one and later buy a 32gb (high class for ex class 10) as I think the standard 32gb they give won't be as good as the one you can buy yourself for almost the same price.

+ If I were you, I wouldn't choose the original iphone back cover if I were you. You can buy it later & cheaper with other things like an original iphone recharcher or a car recharcher or something.

As I noticed my USB recharche cable got damaged pretty fast. I can't get into USB Storage mode anymore with it but it still recharches, so I use that one for recharching at night or in my car.
[General Questions and Answers] rafkhan:
Goophone Y5 or Gooapple v5+

Hello chris,

Sorry for the late response. In my opinion and whatever research I've done I find goophone Y5 is a better iphone 4S clone (see mayiandjay reviews on youtube). It has the best community support, custom roms and root options. You can tweak the memory storage on goophone Y5. However, Gooapple is cheaper and its factory software is more stable. Im working on the memory part. I have a black version and it is gorgeous and flawless. I cant tell about the white version.
[General Questions and Answers] chrisrock782003:
Hello thanks for your response. Another member can give you advise for the memory problem. I don't think that the Goophone is the better phone because without rooting you will have a bunch of Chinese Apps and no functional google play store. The backcover is made of plastic and the display is not the original iPhone one. I think and I hope that if enough people have the Gooapple v5 + the support will get better.

Greetings Chris!
[General Questions and Answers] bOyka8:
I have to agree with you , the gooapple V5+ is pretty new and its from china so it's pretty hard to get support right now..

But as you read before, it's already rooted, the internal memory can already be increased, soon I'll have another gooapple V5+ of a friend and I might upload the stock rom that comes with it.

So yeah just give it a bit more time and the gooapple V5+ will be pretty known.

& Currently on china-iphone.ru and gooapple forum you can get the most support but it's really hard as it took me 2-3 weeks to find out how to root it. And it's just a couple seconds method x)

I did find another issue I have which could be a lack of knowledge. I can't seem to get the GPS working properly x) as I want to use it offline as a real GPS.

As I told Boyka I ordered mine on the 15th of February after Android Sales holidays. Anything seems to work normal but after I asked for a tracking number they where telling me that its no more in stock by now. I asked for the t.n.after 5 days because I paid 30$ for expedited shipping and it should last 6 to 10 days in complete. So if I haven't had asked I wouldn't knew till now. I would anyone to know that the white one with 8 GB must be out of stock in the moment they will tell me when its back in stock and they send me mine.

So to all wait a few said before you order it.

[General Questions and Answers] blast2k:
So, first of all, I'm not entirely sure if this thread belongs in this category, but since it's something pretty wide, I guess it wouldn't hurt.

So I'm looking into flashing Linux into a phone (an sgs2, more precisly). I'm not talking about chroots under android and etc, I'm talking about actually flashing grub, the kernel and every other files that would usually come with a desktop distro. I'm toying a bit with Gentoo, see if I can recompile the whole thing for ARM before probably ending up bricking my device.

Anyways, I want to know if anyone has every tried flashing the whole thing into a phone, be it android, windows phone, etc, and what would you guys think about it.

I'll be trying with an android phone, since it pretty much uses the linux kernel, and so drivers shouldn't be too much of a pain in the ass to recompile. Might also keep the original boot loader until I feel good enough about completely eradicating the base software that the hardware was designed for.

any thoughts/advices/insults/mind farts on the subject welcome

Yeah, I meant getting ride of the underlaying OS and flash linux in place of it.

I think ubuntu uses chroot under android, I haven't seen anything about flashing it into the device.

What I have in mind is not just flashing it on android phones, but about any piece of hardware decent enough to run it (although the existing drivers on android phones would help).

Right now I'm toying a bit with the cross compiler, but I haven't really started any serious project about making it happen.

[General Questions and Answers] ruphobia:
I've made several attempts at the chroot method of adding Linux to an android device with good results. My ultimate goal is to have my android device load and run Linux when i plug it into a docking station so i can use it as a computer. Back to the topic at hand, to add Linux as the native OS instead of android. I would start by building a root file system for android and attempt to copy it over the existing android rootfs. The process would be identical to building the chroot Linux rootfs. The next thing to do is to acquire the kernel source and re-compile it so you can have all of the modules / drivers you want. I would say that this would be standard and easy peasy stuff right up until you got to the X11 and video hardware acceleration.

If your going to try this, I would look for a device that has the following:

1) Kernel source available - make sure there are good instructions on how to configure and compile

2) Device is easily unlock-able and root-able

3) Has a micro SD card slot
