Making the rom apps look more like iOS

Hey there

As you all know the ROMS all have problems with the GPS, DATA, 3G, etc

But the thing that bugs me the most about this phone is that they didn't put many effort in making the apps UI look like iOS.

So i'm trying to make this system give an identical iOS look and feel. I know that this is a very hard thing to do so i want to share my progress with everyone and maybe there are some developers that can help me out to help making the ROMS UI 1:1, but really 1:1 iOS 6.

So far i'm working on the music app, here's what i got

If you can help out here's the apk.

You have a very good point.

If you ever need a SIM adapter, order a GiffGaff SIM which is free of charge, it is a SIM/MicroSIM so you can use the outer part as an adapter...........don't go spreading this to anyone else I may get into trouble..............:angel:

This is not going to sell............it is simply not logical to down-grade specifications. They should just concentrate on the Quad Core production.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just received another cable and surprise surprise.....................................:(

It seems the sellers are now selling good cables which are compatible with the iPhone 5 as specified in their listings so therefore they will not work with the Goophone.

I've given up searching for Goophone cables..............wasted enough time already.

Hmmm... THX for quick reply!

So as you told me to restore the default rom - this was also not possible because my SDCard also got flashed during my ROM-exercising..

This is now why I installed the Rom from the downloadpage a few posts before.

Are the GAPPS from the first post the same as colonelzap provides?

Sorry guys for my newbie question but i am afraid i don't have adequate knowledge about this staff :victory:

1st : In order to copy the initial files posted in the 1st post (google services and store) which file manager do you need and how can we install it on the phone since you cannot download it from google play at the first place? And after the file manager installation I suppose that you have to download the file to your pc first, extract them and copy them via usb connection to the phone?

2nd : How can we install the updated ROM? Do we follow the update from sd card option or is it something else?

please advice since i want to upgrade it and make google services running!

Hi Guys my phone that i bought from DHGate is GooPhone I5 but at the antutu it written GooPhone ALPS Iphone5 is there is a way to root it
[General Questions and Answers] Manuxo:
First of all.

Use the browser to download the aptoide.apk.

Install from there the Es file manager and AirDroid

Pass the files to the phone with airdroid. (Wifi connection needed)

Open the file manager, activate the root options, copy all the google apps to /system/app/

Restart your phone

That's it!

If you want to update to the lastest original rom just pass it to the sd card

- turn off phone

- press power button + volume [-]

- search for the zip

- install it

The latest software already comes with playstore installed.

Don't forget to wipe data, cache, dalvik cache before the update installation.

Goophone i5 Custom ROM - Fixed: Gapps / calendar / unlock text / iOS icons & boot/ EN

Hello everyone, I was annoyed because of "slide of unclock" text and some other things so I improved mayiandjays's ROM.

Dropbox LINK: db.tt/mrkZKwHw

Before installing this ROM you must root your phone and flash new recovery image (check mayiandjay's videos on yt)

** 0 chinese apps

** Google Apps working

It looks like this (in pic: new iOS icons for some apps, unlock text corrected)

Fixed:

- slide to unlock text (previously: slide to unclock)

- english language as default after installing rom (previously: chinese)

- apple boot/shutdown animation as default (previously: chinese goophone)

Changed icons (original iOS icon) for apps:

- youtube

- gmail

- playstore (now it's appstore icon)

- google maps (apple maps icon)

Deleted apps (chinese language):

- voice/siri (chinese),

- map (chinese),

- opera (chinese),

- passbook (chinese),

- appstore (chinese),

Preinstalled:

- rebooter

- aptoide

- antutu tester

- smart keyboard pro

- es explorer

The people asked so much for the goophone to have lightning cable that it was released with it...now everyone is complaining about it.

This things happen on mass production products. If there is one error on production it will affect thousands of devices.

Bad was if goophone didn't send replacement cables. But they are fixing this problem. And they will replace the damaged cables.

Goophone already answered to the goophone sellers and they will send new cables for everyone.

This are the answers of thecheapchoice and android-sale. About the others companies i don't know.

Music App Cover Issue *SOLVED*

Hey there

As you may or may not know the music app always shows low quality cover art when playing music. So I searched the app and it wasn't an app issue, but it's the system!

Low quality

So how to fix this?

Plug in your goophone into your computer as usb storage (if your cable works haha ;) )

Then on you sd card open up the Android map, now you will see a lot of com. maps, click on the com.android.providers.media, and then on the folder albumthumbs *Note that there's one on the sd card and on the phone's storage* . Now you will see a bunch of files with no extensions just open them and select open with windows photo viewer.

You will see a pixelated album cover, but we want to fix this right? Look up for the cover picture (make sure it's a high quality one) and rename it to the pixelated one and remove the extension (jpg, png) and replace it. Do this for every one in the folder and you will enjoy the music app way more!

High Quality

Kind regards,

John.
[General Questions and Answers] vnman:
I am willing to pay $10.00 for a cable that works as well as good quality.

How long do we wait for the replacement cable from the sellers? 1 week maybe 2? 1 month?

I want to use the phone, maybe tinker with it when I have the time. I, like others here would like the phone to just work out of the box. Instead the phone is just sitting there doing nothing for 2 weeks now.

Granted that there are some apps in Chinese and no use to us, but I mean we can "tinker" with it (replace with English ROM, etc...) once we have the chance to use the phone.

Thanks guys for this great threat and huge collection of tips for the Goophone i5 N2

I just received mine yesterday from FCT. Reconfirmed with Antutu thats really the phone we are talking about in this threat (RAM: 1GB)

Have listened to MayIandjay youtube instructions. Downloader m44tools and flashed the recovery image. Worked fine so far but I couldnt choose any of the options. I understand that you need to move the slider, but there was no slider on the initial screen. When I pressed the power button it showed a red box and the slider but the slider didnt move.

OK - restarted. Flased again. Same thing

Restarted again but this time flashed the recovery mentioned in this threat via the m44tool, not the flash tool. Restarted into recovery. CWM was there but guess what: I couldnt move up or down with the volume buttons. I just could press the restart option via power button.

I then went into m44tool again and pressed temp cache erases. This was probably stupid as now the phone is constantly going into recovery, the android turns up for 2 seconds and then it goes into recovery moode again. I tried to press all combination of buttons and also the power button alone for indefinetely long. Doesnt change.

I have not tried the flash tool since I dont know how to install the usb driver / adb thing.

Any help of course would be appreciated. Also, I have also tried reset but nö response

I can reach the recovery mode by pressing power and vol. down., then I see an icon (android with an open tummy), I press the home button, I see the the different options, I select by pressing vol.down/vol.up the option I want. But...... When I want to 'execute' the option by pressing the power button, nothing happens? The only way I can exit the recovery mode is by pressing the reset button (at the back). Is there something I do wrong? How can I flash a new rom? Is there an alternative way?
