There are two versions of the Goophone.

I have the Lite version. Your video shows the dual core one.

But I don't wanna fight with you. We are here to help each other.

I want to buy a real goophone for me. Then I started to search it on net.

I saw so many places selling goophone and than I went to the official goophone website and there we are saying that goophone lite is on pre-order.

As you can see on www(dot)goophone(dot)com/index.php?m=sale&id=1 it will be avaiable on 2013/01/15.

So this information that you post about untutu looks like a good phone too.

Please with you can make an youtube video with this phone, box and all acessories for us please.

i have the same phone

mt6577

1gb ram

1gb rom

16gb internal sd

2gb external sd

android 4.1.5

my question is how can we open the phone to replace the 2gb external sd :confused:

i managed to root it with unlockroot without problems. then i ported a twrp recovery.

i downloaded a dual system software in the chinese boards but its not sinking into my brains yet.

maybe the dual system is for us to install a normal ics or jb alongside with the memory hungry ios styled rom :confused:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aries1dcrn:
it doesnt have chinese apps when i bought it even has the official playstore. only chinese app i saw is the pinyin keyboard. its easy to root.just connect the phone powered up. usb debugging enabled and let windows install all drivers. then start unlockroot wait till it finishes then its rooted.

after rooting you can try to use this TWRP recovery that i've ported. install mobileuncle from market then placed the recovery image in the root of sd then flash it.

I've got my Goophone i5 last week from android-sale.com and have some issues and questions.

Let me start from specs:

MTK6577 / 1Gb RAM / 2Gb Internal SD / 32Gb External SD

One SIM (MicroSIM), 3G, Wi-Fi, 4 inch display, Lightning connector, 8Mpix rear camera (720p video capable btw), 0.3(?) Mpix front camera

Dimensions are exactly as iPhone 5 but the weight is 96 grams (wtf?)

What I was able to do:

1) Rooted the device

2) Installed Google Services Framework and was able to add google account and GMail. Google Play doesn't work though. It signs in, searches the apps but crashes while trying to download.

3) Tested all device's stuff via the test menu (Volume+ and Power buttons)

Issues I have:

1) Awful GPS signal. Was able to find maximum two satellites. (Viewed from test menu)

2) Low sound volume. External and internal speakers are too quiet.

3) Stupid iOS-like launcher and system apps. Really hate them. Would like to install 'plain' ICS.

4) Data/charging cable died two days after arrival. Ordered original Apple Lighning cable. Works fine.

Questions:

1) Is it possible to install ClockWorkMod?

2) is it possible to install 'plain' ICS or any version of CyanogenMod?

3) Can anything be done to increase GPS sensitivity?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

My personal goohpone review

Hello,

You don't need to root the phone.

It comes already rooted from factory.

To have access to the hidden menus please follow the steps:

Factory Hardware Testing

Power off the phone

Power Button + Volume Up [+]

Clockworkmod

Power off the phone

Power Button+ Volume [-]

The Clockworkmod is in chinese, but is easy to understand the meaning of the menus.

Is your phone bricked on boot logo or on the software? You can reset it pressing the litle button between the flash and camera on the backside of goophone.

My review about it:

The phone is ok, the screen is pretty good and the preformance is good to.

But i'm having some issues that you've related.

My 3G doesn't work at all. I can't connect to my 3G network neither recieve MMS. I think that is a software problem because i've tested the hardware and the 3G hardware was recognized.

The software have some heavy bugs.

- The launcher is a litle bit laggy, you can notice that it freezes a litle bit when sliding through the pages.

- You cannot delete contacts. There is only the options to add or import VCard from the phone/external sd card.

- If you try to delete the missed call history, the apk gives an error and quit. But the history is deleted.

- When you try to change de language, the apk gives an error. But the language is changed. Not all strings are well translated. (For example the lock screen . If you change the language to other than english, the lock screen will be in chinese)

- I've tried to install all the google apps. They are all working unless the Playstore. It open, but when i try do download some app it gives me an error 906 (I'm using the Aptoide untill i get this problem solved).

- It comes with the Goophone Logo boot. It is possible to change to apple logo. It is very simple to change this.

- The image that appear when you are making or recieving an phone call is very pixelized! It loads the correct image but the quality is just awful.

(i think that this can be fixed).

Pros:

The quality of the phone is very good, it is well made, good material quality, very good screen and the processor is fast.

It is very beautiful and lightweight.

Cons:

Bad Software.

Overall:

I think the phone is very good, it has a good hardware..but need urgent software improvements. I don't know how is it possible to have 1GB RAM installed on the phone, and with this rom, the avaiable ram is about 120MB !?

I hope that goophone releases a software update to this phone because the phone is very good, the only problem that i'm having right now is with the custom rom. If this software gets an update it will be perfect.

I'm avaiable to develop a new rom to it if is there any interested to help me out.

I need a person with the medium knowledge of android programming.
