I bought black i5 from android-sale.

but I can not install stock rom on flash tool

why is that?
[General Questions and Answers] hrcoprco:
I wish I could understand and buy directly from Goophone, but even google translate does not work properly.

After reading all the suggestion about Androidsale.com I am not tempted to buy from them. I wonder how many people have positive experience with them?

[General Questions and Answers] Chi Am:
So much for community effort in trying to help each other.

Donations should be just what it is, optional preference to help another or is there a different meaning of "Donation" ?.

This post is becoming like an advertisement for selling ROMs due to the far too frequent lure to *purchase* the forth coming version ie. you'll get it ONLY if you have PAID.

As to every versions of ROMs, so far it is all the same same half-baked derivative of the original half-baked ROM....nothing new to fix all the issues of this Goophone i5.

I don't mind spending money to purchase a ROM but there are still issues to make it not marketable; "I have fixed this, I have fixed that but there's still............" therefore it is not fixed.

I surmise that I am now wasting time here as it has become a place for the affiliates to promote their product....................so Goodbye all.

With all due respect man, he is also releasing the rom for free.

He's just releasing the rom to the donators first. Like a way to show appreciation.

Everyone else will get the rom next week. I see nothing wrong with that approach.
[General Questions and Answers] Manuxo:
Hi,

All my work is released for free. The donations are to help me up tying to fix some stuff on that phones.Do you have idea the time i spend searching on google for fixes and ways to improve android experience so i can share that with you with for free?

Do you have any ideia the time i spend getting the best parts of different chinese roms and merge all on a custom ROM?

Do you see any other user trying to improve the goophone i5 experience? Wich ROM is payed? Or wich ROM am i selling?

Of course my work is based on the stock software released by goophone...what are you expecting? that i develop a software for it by my own? LOL

Wake up men!! I get all the chinese stock software, i get the best things on them and i compile everything back to a zip that you can install.

All chinese stock software do not come prepared to run on western devices...they have their own apps that we don't like. Do you see any other user working on this project?

So if you don't like the job that is being done, here is one advice for you: Do it your self! Who knows if you don't do a better job.

"Donations should be just what it is, optional preference to help another or is there a different meaning of "Donation" ?." - Am i forcing anyone to donate?

"This post is becoming like an advertisement for selling ROMs due to the far too frequent lure to *purchase* the forth coming version ie. you'll get it ONLY if you have PAID." - Where are the adverts?Which ROM is payed?

As to every versions of ROMs, so far it is all the same same half-baked derivative of the original half-baked ROM....nothing new to fix all the issues of this Goophone i5. - Tell me wich chinese ROM that don't have it. Install all my roms from the begining and see if there are no changes.

I don't mind spending money to purchase a ROM but there are still issues to make it not marketable; "I have fixed this, I have fixed that but there's still............" therefore it is not fixed. - Tell me what i said that is fixed or fixable that it isn't. The problem is that many people don't read the first page WHERE IS WRITTEN STEP BY STEP HOW TO FIX DIFFERENT THINGS.

By the way..if people don't like the job that im doing we have a very simple solution: I stop to work on it and everything goes as it is and you have to manage to improve it your self.

Anyway...i'm not here just to share developed roms.but to help users flashing their phone with CWM, Stock software, Restore bricked phones, etc...so i think there isn't any user that is making so much support for it....maybe that is why android-sale and thecheapchoice asked for my help to help their customers.

So..i must be honest with you...if i could choose..i would not share my work with you anymore. There is no need to have people like you here, and honestly your opinion don't mean sh*t to me.

Have a nice day mate.
[General Questions and Answers] IndyUK:
Hi Manuxo,

Please do not quit working on your ROM. I for one appreciate people like you. You spend YOUR time and effort helping people like me only for some smart aleck to come along and criticise you and your work. And your absolutely right, you don't have to take this $#!+, but please do not upset yourself over him. There's always one! Anyway, keep up the good work and we all look forward to your next realease.

Thank you.

Just to add: not just selling Roms but also promoting scammers like android sale and trying to convince us that they are credible... good bye all from me too..
[General Questions and Answers] Manuxo:
To you I just have one thing to say: ignorance is f*cked up.

If you think they are scammers good for you. And if you think I'm their affiliate. You are totally wrong. They sent me a goophone so I could remove Chinese crap and install Google apps FOR YOU.And this is done since my first release. I could stopped there but I didn't, I continued trying to improve it.

About the donations I think I'm doing the right thing releasing first to that users that are helping me. But I never forced ANYONE to donate or to give me money .

Keep your frustrations outside this thread please.

accu is to fast empy

Hi Goophone owners how long goes your accu ?

My i5 is in 16 hours empy and do nothing with it.

i have installed the 1.2.8 rom

is it on the 1.3 better ?
[General Questions and Answers] Manuxo:
The main differences are:

- Emotion icons on mms/sms - Not possible on 1.2.8

- Video Calls - Not possible on 1.2.8

- Less errors than 1.2.8

- You can add your 3G APN Settings in the OS - not possible on 1.2.8

- Full translated to all languages - not possible on 1.2.8

-etc..

There are users that like more the v1.2.8 others the v1.3.0 so i think it depends on the user :)

Where to get one?

Still having issues as to where to buy the original Goophone i5 lite.

my only payment option is paypal, so android-sale is a no go.

Thecheapchoice still sells their phones through e-mail and paypal invoices.

A lot of people are saying they are reliable, but is that realy so?

Also about the i5 N2 QHD from fastcardtech, is this a copy or an original Goophone?

How about those opple (misspelled for obvious reasons) logos, can u get one with it?

Thanks for the help guys.

Is there definitive way to work out what phone you have in regards to it being a Legit Goophone .. ?

Maybe by images or do you have to actually get into the About Device option ..?

Its just I've seen phones with Goophone labelled on the back cover and some with iPhone5 On them ..:confused:

I have been offered this one but waiting on more info it has what I assume is a camera and Flash on the back ..?
[General Questions and Answers] Pennywis3:
Hmm, looks strange, i dont think the original Goophone has a gloss backside?

Im also looking for one like that ( with the gayphone logo )

Looked everywhere, and no one can actualy confirm that it has the logo

Every store i've send mail to doesn't answer the logo question hehe

And the guy that quoted me has one post, so its hard to tell if hes for real :)

Hello,

Can somebody help me how to install CWM recovery on my Goophone i5?

I got the CWM recovery.img already and loaded the scatter file. But when click 'download' in flashtool it keeps searching forever..

I already have a custom recovery. The one from mayiandjay's but it's in Chinese so I really want to install this CWM because I want to wipe battery stats and I can't understand a word Chinese.

Touch screen problem (driver)

Hi, (sorry for my English)

i bought a goophone i5 on android-sale on Dhgate (i5 and i5 lite are same link).

I received a goophone with a bee on the back gizchina.com/wp-content/uploads/images/goophone-i5-2-quad-core.jpg.

So i make the upgrade with sp flash tool and now the touch screen doesn't wotk.

If i push "volume +" AND "volume -" the result is "volume -". So i can access to the recovery by holding the 2 buttons.

I flashed all the rom you could find in the web for Goophone but only one work: needrom.com/mobile/goophone-i5s

I know it's for i5s but if i flash an other rom for i5s, it doesn't work.

Now the funny part: if i flash a rom for i5 then i flash the boot of the rom above, it Works (Yeahhhhhhh ), but i have no wifi, no bluetooth, and no 3g (oooohhhhhh).

I think there is a new version of I5 because some people on the web has the same problem.

Maybe you know more about this.

Thanks in advance.

New online store where you can buy phones (Reliable)

Hi,

As many people is saying that some stores are not as reliable as they should be i'm going to advice you where you can buy your goophone or any other phone without being afraid of being scammed.

I've started working with a guy a few months ago that opened his store recently. Im telling you that it is 100% reliable. He have hired a lot of people who knows how to speak english to give the best support to his customers.

He also prepare the orders in less than 48 hours. So im pretty sure that he will provide a very good service to all interested buyers.

Honestly i'm thinking about becoming his phone tester and ROM developer so i guarantee that he is reliable. Otherwise i would not work with him.

If you want to know the link to his store just PM me.
