Hello Manuxo,

releasing new update ( FIRST ) for donating people and only then for the rest is let's say fair but it's not

the "soul" or better, the engine and the spirits or this beautiful site and forum.

but again I can understand that and that's why donation was coming from me too at first.

my intention was not to make you "angry" but more to shake you and just let you think about further and serious developments addressed to

IPHONE 5 clones, actual models and incoming new and most powerfull one like the Zophone i5 pro with CPU 6589 and quad core processor...more ram and advanced skills compared to Goophone I5..I say maybe it's more conveniente for "the world" that a great developer like you make some more perform on Iphone clones instead of going to other directions where dozen of developers are already addressed and

that it's not really bring a great added value like you have shown with goophone i5

anyway, smile, life it beautiful, so whatever new job you will develop will be appreciated from all community.

cheers
[General Questions and Answers] Manuxo:
Thank you for your words.

But let me explain how my life is.

I live in a country deeply sunk in european crysis -> Portugal.

To earn about 1000€ /monthly i have 2 works! I work from 9am to 6 pm then i leave my work and i start another one from 6:30pm to 11/12pm.

I live alone, so almost all my money goes to pay bills in this f*cking corrupt country.

I'de to find another thing to take a few more bucks per month..so i started to work with chinese. Helping them improving their ****ty software to western people..because there they don't give a f*ck if the software works properly or not in the western. So i've accepted the service and i do support on some models INCLUDING goophone i5 lite.

What do i recieve for doing this? the phones for free. I do my work..sell it and earn extra bucks. and honestly i have this phone for too long. But no! im not going to sell it, because i liked it. But, i can't be attached to this phone forever because they are releasing new phones where my help will be needed. so with the lack of time that i have i can handle everything.

I hope that you understand my position! And believe me..im here to help you out since i have programming skills and that what i do for living.

Best regards

Great job. And everybody cheer up because cafix got his hands on it :D
[General Questions and Answers] Jet12:
Yes you can.

People don't be ungrateful. Manucho has done a good job and have bills to pay like everyone else. He has inserted paid apps in their roms that cost much more than $ 0.50 cents that people donate if you want. If you do not want to donate is your right. He's not forcing anyone to do anything. If you think you should not donate just keep quiet and let the man work as he can or will. Many thanks to Manucho and all people who are trying to improve this crappy Chinese rom transforming it into something possible to use.

Hey guys, i hope you are fine and yes i also hope the cool developers are working on their new work ? DO THEY ? It not a forcing but i frankly wish the new os7, yeah like the setting menu or camera app, on off settings and some system apps like that. First of all YOU, developers know we goophone owners are able to donate ,so if you will create a new rom We are behind you and you know we pay ! But before you start, say what you want to develop so, do not be suprised if no one will download it.

I hope you have nice holidays.

Curious about...

I've have no clue about the various models of the Goophone and akin, first off who is a reputable dealer where I'm not dealing with B.S.

I need something that supports the 3G/WCDMA 850 band, as well

I've viewed some models, that claim quad core and the "retina display", any ideas?

I've also realized that the "internal memory" is just an micro SD card, how hard to change that would it be and any ideas on 64GB working?

Just looking for the best available model from a good website, so I can jump in and start some tinkering/developing! :fingers-crossed:

Cheers!

Hi everyone!

I'm new to this forum. I've been following this whole goophone thing for a while now and I'm really interested in buying one. I was going to purchase one from fastcardtech.com, but they told me it's out of stock and that the phone isn't being made anymore. :(

I've looked on the web for other sellers of this phone(Goophone I5 lite /goophone I5 N2) and I have send them mails, though none of them reply. I don't know which website I can trust. Can someone pm me a seller (or just reply in this thread) that can sell me a genuine Goophone i5 lite? Thanks in advance guys!

Someone told my to try flashing other ROMs, so here i am :) could you please confirm if my phone is a goophone i5? I know for sure it is a dual core mtk6577 and behind the battery there is "5I" like in mtk tools:

is that ROM for my device? (i'd like to avoid brick the "phone"). Any chance i can solve my problem with this? Thanks

*1:1 iOS 6 ROM (Work in progress)*

Hi I'm back with some good news..

I'm currently working on an iOS 6 ROM. It will have all the default iOS apps, same font, keyboard, emoji, safari,...

Battery will last longer during use and standby, and it will feel a bit faster. I will provide photos and videos of the ROM, about how it functions on the phone. When I'll release the stable version, I will ask 5 USD dollars... Why? Just because of buying the apps, work, effort, time... You will not be disapointed, I've been working a month or two on this rom and now I'm giving it the finishing touches.

Stay tuned!

Goophone charging SOLUTION

To all mates that have problems with Goophone. Buy an IPHONE 3gs or 4 or 4s cable (original or not) and buy an adapter for Iphone 5. THIS WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS IS THE BEST SOLUTION

---------- Post added at 02:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:48 PM ----------

The one and only best solution. Just buy an iphone 3gs or 4 or 4s cable then buy an adapter for iphone 5s and charge. This will do the work. You will remember me

Not a very pleasant experience ...

[SIZE=+1]In less than two months the battery started acting up and finally died. The battery charging symbol would show in RED when plugged in but would not charge at all. The phone would not turn on at all. I obtained a RMA and shipped it back to Android-Sale given address in Guangzhou. It has been eight weeks and there is no sign of a replacement.

I was finally able to contact them. They promised to ship me a replacement and to be patient. I'm not sure what to believe anymore.

To bad!

[MENTION=4033935]jonaboy[/MENTION] you shouldn't ask money for it...better..you should not sell your work.

Why?

Because this forum is an open community..here people share their work, experiences, tips and solutions.

Your work is going to be based on a chinese rom that have not an released GPL. So that make everything even worst.

If you want to get money..you should let the people try your work first and let them to decide if they want to donate you or not! It all depends in your work quality!

How about this? I buy your work, i spend 5 USD on it, i install it, and i totally hate it! How im going to have my money back? is there any warranty or refund policy? Think about that.

Forcing people to spend money on something they don't know is not a good practice. I think you should let users to decide if they want to help you or not.

And believe me! If your work is good, people will recognize it and will help you. i talk with self experience

Hey Manuxo, I love your ROM for the Goophone I5 lite and am currently using it.

There are several issues that I experienced though:

Everytime I try to change my IMEI via MobileUncle Tools it shuts down saying that 'unfortunately MobileUncle Tools has stopped working'

Everytime I try to access the settings in WhatsApp, it shuts down saying that 'unfortunately WhatsApp has stopped working'

Plus, I would like to know how I can re-configure the Home-Button to actually bring me back to Home-screen.

Thank you very much.

Hi

That's actually why I'm gonna provide videos of my ROM in action, provide photos of new apps, etc.. It's like viewing a keynote from apple where they present their new product so that the buyer/customer has an idea of what their spending their money on. Don't worry I thought about that! ;)

Good luck to your project then! I hope it become a success! :good:

[General Questions and Answers] Manuxo:
Answers:

1- You need to have your phone rooted and you must set mobile uncle tool as a system app with titanium backup pro

2- That is bug that i could not find solution 'til now

3- You have a file called mtk-kpd.kl inside /system/usr/layout/ that you can open and edit the Home Button function. (make sure you make a backup before you edit this file)

If you still not be able to change the imei just downgrade your phone to the version 1.2.8 and change the imei there.

[General Questions and Answers] kurtmcgill:
Hello all,

I wondered if someone here can help me.

When I rvcd the phone I (whilst still using the stock rom) I couldn't get the mobile network to work.

I've since installed mayiandjay's rom (in the hope that it would fix the "No Service" issue, but still no joy).

I've since seen this post and tried following the steps above - but am unclear on the following step

- Open the Titanium Backup search for the APN Backup & Restore, press it and add the apk as system file (very important step).

Its obviously an important step, thus probably the main reason as to why I cant get the mobile network working.

Can anyone help me with this please?

Recharge issue

My battery was running low and the phone shut down. But when i wanted to charge nothing appeared on the screen it stayed black so i left it an hour or so to charge and when i tried to turn on the phone there's a battery with a little red at the bottom and it says 1%, after 10 sec it "shuts down" and the screen turns black again. so i tried it with the computer to see if the cable was dead but it did the same thing and the computer found my device but again after 10 sec the phone shut down and the battery was gone. Now i left it 2hours but its still at 1%. I'm sure the phone works, the cable, and the wall adapter all work cause i tried the wall adapter with another cable and my pc recognized the cable so it should work.. what to do? please help me :crying:

Need help with my Goophone I5

Hello,

I recently bought a new Goophone I5 (from android-sale). It came loaded with all Chinese apps. Fortunately I was able to figure out the international menu and have changed the language to English which has become a little bit more easier (after two frustrating nights). I have looked all over and downloaded the CWM Recovery & the Updated ROM from this site but just don't know how to Flash the phone. I have asked for support from the seller but have not received any (maybe due to Chinese New Year). I have even added an app SuperSU as that is one of the steps listed on mayiandjay's youtube video. I have used the SP Flash Tool I found on one of his video pages (I think), but that didn't do me any good as the driver did not install. However after I installed Snappea & QtADB I have been able to communicate with the device. This is how far I got and am stuck. There are choices to flash and update ROM within the QtADB but I'm a bit nervous. Looking for some good step by step instructions. Anyone out there that can help me with my situation ...

I basically want everything on this Goophone I5 to be in English (and would like to have Google Play as well).

Thanks very much in advance!

you have 2 options to root the phone :

1. download custom rom, you can find one in this forum, just search for goophone i5 lite.. it remove chinese apps and fixes a lot of issues and it's rooted already

2. follow the following video on youtube from a guy who have exactly the same phone and will show you how to root the phone.. it's very easy :)

sorry I can't post external link because am still new to the forum, just search for "How to root the Goophone i5! One click root!" the guy called mayiandjay and he have lots of useful videos :good:

Now, If you still have the original rom can I ask you for a favor please ? if you look in your SD card you will find a file finish with .zip this should be the original rom which comes with the phone..

If you still have this file can you please upload somewhere for me so I can try it on my phone.. this will be great :o
