New Original ROM Released

GooPhone have released new official ROM for GooPhone i5.

here's a link to new original ROM.

They have GPS fixed (works EPO+AGPS), mute switch etc., but many other bugs added. To use with SP FlashTool
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaitoudark:
still android 4.0.4? or upgraded to jellybean?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Watslaw:
Unfortunately had no chance to try it since my Goo is dead and a new one hasn't still arrived.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AShacks:
What happend to your goophone? :eek:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Watslaw:
just burned down while running AnTuTu benchmark after having made some tweaks and testing the result. NAND flash doesn't respond properly; maybe roasting a motherboard would help - but I'be simply ordered another one. Btw as I've found out while disassembling - I had not an original Goo but a relatively good copy of it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Salvosnake:
how to install the rom i not know ho use flashtool, i have try to load the scater but say incorrect format :/
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Manuxo:
Copy the *.img files into another flashable ROM (for example 0131) and then flash it.

It will work.

what you mean for copy in other flashble roms? a dirctory with inside the img file?

Hi, I bought the goophone i5 the other day from chinagrabbers. In all honesty from the reviews of the site I never thought it would come through the door but it did and looking at it, the phone has potential. Full title is.....

GooPhone i5 V2 II 3G + GSM Phone Android 4.2 Quad Core 1.5GHz MTK6589 GPS 4.0" IPS 1280*720 - Goophone-i5-V2

Color

I dont know how much of the phones specs are bull**** going by the benchtest but it does seem to have the correct chipset and quadcore processor.

All I want is a stable JB or ICS rom for the phone. I dont want the chinese apps or the fake apple look. I just want the Android version on what looks like a descent spec iphone replica..

Cheers

goophone news

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. Ah yeas ics is old, possibe to port to jb ?

I hope you have nice holidays.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] vnman:
Installed this ROM and test over the weekend and here is what I found so far

No Play Store

Chinese Apps everywhere, have to delete all and manually install my preferred apps (including ALL Google Apps) .

Seems that "Calendars Sync" and "People Sync" is not working.

"Slide to Unclock" is back

With ES Task Manager it is shown 710 MB with 5 Apps running

Antutu score 5865

in the build.prop sdk version is 15

when the headphones is plugged in it is shown in the task bar the "head phones and mic" icon.

with the lock screen when playing music it is displayed the album artwork.

with the Yahoo weather app, accessing the "Settings" did not crash the program. Weather is NOW displayed on the notifications screen (GREAT).

Did not have the time to test more.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vnman:
I have no problem with the ROM using SP Flash tool (latest version - 1.3) and Windows 8.

After making sure that both USB VCOM driver and Preloader driver are installed.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Watslaw:
Dear Dan,

Unfortunately I don't believe you have anything from those listed inside. From Android version to screen resolution - everything looks fake.

If you receive it, make all screenshots and test it with MTK DroidTools.

As for JB android, use ColonelZap ROM.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaitoudark:
What android version is running? still 4.0.4?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vnman:
Yes, still 4.0.4

Hi,

I think I got it down to the correct model. I think its the Alps Goophone i5 N2 V2. It took me so long to work it out that I've put the wrong rom onto the phone and now it would start up. Still shows signs of life when connected to the computer and will still boot. Should I still try the ColonelZap Rom??

This is what I first got as a read out.

Hardware : MT6577 Model : i9 Build number : ALPS.ICS2.MP.V1.18 Build date UTC : 20130510-061453 Android v : 6.0.2 Baseband v: MAUI.11AMD.W12.22.SP.V14, 2012/11/12 20:01 Kernel v : 3.0.13 (wuzq2@wuzq2-Lenovo) (gcc version 4.4.3 (GCC) ) #3 SMP Fri May 17 12:11:55 CST 2013

Cheers

Dan
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Watslaw:
Sorry, dude, can't get you right: have you already managed to restore it to working state - or just expecting?

If you did - then do back up your GooPhone (or store the ROM in a safe place) and run experiments with ColonelZap's ROM. You cannot brick it more than you've already done with it.

Anyway I suspect you have some strange model that slightly differs from the one we play here with. You say, the model is i9... And as for the kernel - can you share it with us?? If you don't know what's that for, then please PM me a link to the whole ROM. If the kernel is the one indicated then I think it would be very useful in our ROMs.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] botty67:
The phone isn't in its original state. I messed about with that many roms because the seller stole it as something complete different to what it is.

The phone I have now is the Goophone i5 N2 V2. The software on the phone is wrong but I can flash it if I find the correct rom file.

Does anybody know where I can find a working fom for the Goophone i5 N2 V2??

Cheers

why don't you update anymore?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] trjons:
Does anyone have a ZOPHONE rom that can flash via CWM?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Manuxo:
A new solution!

Hi people!

I know that many people are facing a carrier signal issues. I've found a fix to that and im going to share it with you.

The problem here is that chinese use the same imei for every phone.

So probably everyone here has the same imei on the goophone.

Each phone must have an unique imei number, otherwise the carriers companies will block the imei and the issues with the signal will start.

Having an unstable signal makes the phone drain the battery really fast..so that may be the issue of your battery drain problem also.

All you need to do is:

- Find an oldphone at home,it does not matter the brand or model.

- Write down it IMEI.

- Replace your goophone imei with the old phone imei with mobile uncle tools.

- Reboot the phone

And that is it! All your problems will be solved.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Manuxo:
I'm working on a new phone. No1 S6.

It has been released these days.

I like goophone i5 lite i really do..BUT..this phone has a lot of issues.

First the stock software has a lot of bugs. All my ROMS are based on the stock software to mantain the aspect of iOS.

Many things have been changed/improved, but there are a lot of bugs to fix and i don't have enough time to work on the software.

Another thing that made me leave this phone is that it has weak hardware parts -> Wifi Antenna, GPS, Ear Speaker, Loud Speaker, Charger Connector, Data Cable, etc,etc,etc.

So i think at the moment the best phone that have been released by goophone was the goophone Y5. The iphone 4s knock-off.

They need to improve a LOT this phone to get usable...otherwise there will always be issues with it. If it is not the battery, is going to be because of the GPS, and if it is not the GPS it is the software itself...it is fixed from one side..bugs appear on the other side..so it is pretty ****ed up. They should release a stable Version of the software with released GPL so we could improve it more and make it more interesting.

Anyway, if they release a new software soon, don't worry. I will change it and make it as usual. And i will continue to give support on this model.

Interface Translation - Volunteers needed!

Hello everybody!

I've just managed to re-assemble and modify Settings.apk that is responsible for settings user interface.

It was a big problem for every dev for a few months, and now it's solved.

I need your help to customize it into your native language.

Thus I propose the following: native speakers who have access to IOS 6 interface, PM me, I send you out the XML file(s) needed to be translated, you do the translation and send it back to me. I re-compile it and publish the update here. Together we make it fast and best.

Though I speak five languages, I'm not able to do all the work by myself.

I'll be updating this post with languages/translators already available and working on. You can split the file into several parts to cooperate.

Looking forward to hear from you soon.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Manuxo:

Did you need help to translate to Spanish?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AShacks:
I can translate to Dutch or Belgium if you like
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Watslaw:
Guys, this would be great. Take English XML file from archive attached.

How to translate:

Find someone who owes original iPhone

Use Notepad++, this saves your original encoding

Translate the words between tags string and item (if any)

Never delete or add additional quotation marks, apostrophs etc. Better omit unnecessary ones or put the whole phrase in double quotation marks (")

If label looks like a variable name (such as Data_Transfer_Rate) - leave it as is. If you doubt - better leave is as is.

Files are big, so if you are unsure - tell me and take first thousand lines. Don't try to make it all at once.

As soon as you are finished, send the file back to me, and I try to recompile it and fix errors if any occur. You get your CWM update file first to see how it works.

For those who doubt: attached is the modified Settings.apk in update for CWM. Check 'About' and look for Viber instead of Sina!

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Manuxo:
Hi,

Download the English CWM

Download th SmartPhone flash tool

Extract the english cwm

Open the SP Flash Tool

Load the CWM scatter from the extracted folder

Turn off phone

Unplug it from the USB port

Press F9 ->Download Mode on SP Flash Tool

Connect your phone via USB (Make sure that it is turned off)

Wait until every bars finish and a green circle will pop up.

And that's it!

Maybe something for the future v1.25:-

Have an error message to report:............"Unfortunately, Mobileuncle Tools has stopped." when I attempted to backup the IMEI. So I'm cautious about experimenting until I have successfully completed this backup.

GPS is still no go.

Also it is eating the battery power for breakfast.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] alduleimi:
- Mobile uncle IMEI backup worked fine here for both SDCARD and SDCARD2 !

- Both 3G and GPS work flawlessly too on my phone

- Regarding the battery not lasting long I have followed the below instructions (thank to colonelzap from pointing it to us) to enable deep sleep mode as it's not enabled by default.

@Manuxo is there a way to enable this function by default in the next release ?

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Manuxo:
I'll write that down and try to include on the my next release.

I must read that thread to see wich files are edited in order to include it on the next Patch.

About the battery drain, yes, there is a problem, usally the battery drains faster when you have all services activated (GPS, Wifi and 3G Network). I now think that is a reason to APN Settings Menu to not work. 3G network drains the battery extremely fast.

About the GPS issue, just open the mobile uncle tools, Engineer Mode, YGPS and select your location. After that it will search for GPS satellites. It may take an hour until it finds them.

Hope i helped you out,

Regards
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Chi Am:
Somehow Mobile Uncle did not seem to install properly it worked after reinstall and have now backed-up my IMEI, but still have problems with GPS.

Have already added the four lines to the Buildprop prior to reinstall but battery still remains the same:-

ro.mot.deep.sleep.supported=true

ro.ril.power.collapse=1

pm.sleep_mode=1

ro.mot.eri.losalert.delay=1000

NB: Some people found this adage to have detrimental effects on their device as expressed in the Comments.

I will give it a try and be very patient.................................not quite recall but I may have had difficulties selecting my "non existing " location.......

On hindsight, a straight forward auto detection after switching on the GPS would be much better for the everyday user.

Hello Manuxo

First of all a very big thanks for making this Rom and improving it.

Recently Goophone announced a cheaper version of i5 with lower resolution (WVGA) and 512MB RAM, the rest of hardware is the same. Do you think is it possible to use your Rom for this phone? How much modification does it need? And at last, will you support it?
