[General Questions and Answers] Manuxo:
Hi everyone,

I've just created this thread to merge all the goophone i5 information in just one post. This way it will be easier to all goophone i5 users to post doubts answers and eventual software updates/ROMS.

I've both of goophones (Y5 and I5) and i'm happy with them.

But there are some problems with goophone i5 stock software.

Problems detected on the stock rom that need a fix

- Can't recieve or send MMS. FIXED

- 3G network and Data Connection don't work. FIXED - See Below

- Google apps can be installed. Google play won't download apps (Error 906 - com.google.process.gapps stoped). FIXED - See Below

- Not all language strings are translated. English is ok.FIXED

- Some of stock apps are in Chinese (Weather, Maps, App Store) FIXED - Just delete the APKS from system/app

- Some apps are there just there to fill the launcher. They don't have any utility (Passbook, Games Center, etc). But they are removable in system/apps/ FIXED

- Can't delete contacts. You just can add or import existent Vcard. If you press cancel the apk will give you an error and crash. FIXED - Settings -> Email, Contacts, Calendar -> Delete All Contacts

- When you delete call history the apk will give you an error and crash. But the history will be deleted. FIXED

- When you change the language, the apk will give you an error. But the language will be changed. FIXED

- Poor contact image quality during phone call. The image is loaded but have a awful quality. FIXED

- When you recieve a message it will be kept on the lock screen, but it only shows the number not the name of the person who sent it to you. FIX NEEDED

- Sometimes when you slide it to silence using the Mute Button the software will get crazy and will change the profile from mute to sound in a loop. FIXED on the last ROM

- Can't do video calls. There is no option to make it and when you recieve one, the phone won't let you answer it and it will crash the phonecall.FIXED
