To translate that apk you will need to:

- get an decompiler like APK Manager or APK Tool

- You will need to get the framework-res.apk and the the other apk inside that folder.

- Add these two apks to the system

- Get the system.apk from system/app folder

- Decompile it in your computer

- Change the German strings

- Compile it again

- Replace it

And that's it.

PS: don't forget to make a backup of it before you edit that app. just in case ;)

Notice that you are doing this at your own risk. You can get software problems doing this and i'm not responsible for that to happen.

Hello,

I have anotheer cable that worked.

My phone is a goophone I5 Litle, I am using the 1.3.1 but I chargued the 1.3.0 and I don't works, I contacted with DX to see how solve it, I am waiting.

How I can see the pins in the cable without broken

[Miscellaneous Android Development] pfr:
This is cable for iPhone, so will not work with Goophone. I opened that cable by gently tapping with a small hammer the part of cable with the lighting connector. Slightly tapping from each side. Then I was able to remove white cover and access small electronics board (done so far). Next task is to cut PIN4 and connect in this place signal from PIN 5. Surgical task - will try tomorrow ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
I bought both of those cables and they both worked fine. Both Changing and data syncing worked.

I don't know what to tell you as the 2 cables work perfectly for me.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] rafa55:
Hello,

I see... but I have one cable that works from before, Therefore the phone is O.K.

In my opinion the goophone is worse than the zophone. I ordered already 2 black goophone's, and the in call speaker volume is to silent.

I don't have the problem with the zophone.

---------- Post added at 09:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 AM ----------

I will cross my fingers and hope it's a real mtk6589. I'll find out in a week, I ordered one.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybervibin:
What's the base android version?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pfr:
The problem with silent call speaker can be fixed easily on goophone. At least that solution is described in another thread on this forum. Unfortunately I don't have the link on hand, but can check at home.

What about the screen and build quality between zophone and goophone ?

New zophone is 99% mtk6589 :) this is confirmed also on other china mobile webpages. I wonder why it is so light - only 102 Gramm, must be a plastic (?). I also wonder how the screen quality and battery life with 4 cores is. Please let us know about your feelings when you receive and test it.

Before you order anything in FastCardTech - please ask them first if they have this phone 100% in stock... I bought Goophone I5 N2 there and has no problems. Free shipping was very quick.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jo139:
Do you mean the solution with the replacement speaker ? If you have another solution, a link would be handy.

The build quality of the zophone is excelent. But is it a real zophone ? Don't know, it is nano sim card and 854x480 screen and 512mb ram.

I already ordered the zophone i5 pro, on 9 may it was in stock. It is the second phone i order at fastcardtech with DHL delivery. The first one was deliverd in 6 days.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jo139:
I did a little bit research. The mtk6589 chipset has a PowerVR SGX 544 gpu. But on the screenshots you see PowerVR SGX 531 that belongs to a mtk6577 chipset.

I have Goophone I5 N2 and in my opinion the build quality of this phone is very good. I went to iStore and compared it to original iPhone 5 and they are the same. Display is very good in normal light condition, but in sunlight might be problematic. I don't have any issues with making calls - I hear quite good sound and voice is loud and clear. The only problem is weak battery, weak WIFI and GPS signal sensitivity…and terrible quality of the loudspeaker (this is known issue of almost all China phones). It is laud, but sounds terrible – much much worse than iPhone. I wonder if it is possible to replace it to another one… I would love to compare it to Zophone…but I am afraid zophone is made of plastic..it is very light..

---------- Post added at 04:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:49 PM ----------

Manuxo, thank you, this solution helps. Now I don't have issues with charging my phone.

I finally installed Bravia Engine 2 and Clear Sound on your ROM, but unfortunatelly I don't see and hear any difference :confused:

Do you work maybe on a new version of your ROM ? :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
I do have it installed. It does crash though. I'm unsure about how to fix that.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pfr:
Try Settings >> Developers >> Manage Apps >> MobileUncle >> Clear data
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
I've tried that. Since I can't run it without it crashing from the beginning, there is 0mb's of data to clear, so the option is greyed out.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pfr:
Which version you use ? I have 2.6.1

You can also try with clearing Dalvik Cache from CWM...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] issu:
hello, I installed your ROM, but some things are not ok ...For example, the Additional Apps miss all, even the keyboard is not perfect in form ... What could have happened?I flashed several times, alternating the various other rom relase of your rom, but every time something else is missing.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pfr:
I had similar issues and I think it is not related to this ROM but in general to flashing ROM (from ZIP). I am installing ZIP roms in the following way:

* Enter CWM

* Clear all what is possible (Cache, Dalvik, Factory Reset)

* Install ROM from ZIP

* Install ROM from ZIP (second time)

* Power off the phone

* Press RESET button for 15 seconds and release

* Start phone

After that I never had any issues with any ROM (of course if it is not damaged)

CWM

Hey,

I want to install CWM recovery.

Can I do this through Mobile Uncle Tools?

Or how to do this on flashtool?

I loaded the recovery and scatter. Should I click 'download' or 'firmware -> upgrade'?

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] issu:
I've already done all the possible wipe ... I tried again but still ...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pfr:
From my experience I would not recommend perform any upgrades, cache cleaning or temp data erasing using Mobile Uncle Tools...Usually it breaks the phone and it requires flashing it using Flash Tool again.

For CWM installation you should use "download" option in FlashTool.

---------- Post added at 04:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:15 PM ----------

Then I have no any idea why it is happening :(...in my case cleaning cache, dalvik perform factory reset and then installing software twice (one by one without exiting CWM) resolves almost all the issues.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AShacks:
Do I need to enable PRELOADER and DSP_BL?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pfr:
No, not really required during CWM Installation. For the future - if it is not really required - do not upload PRELOADER or DSP_BL. If you upgrade your phone with wrong PRELOADER it stops working and you will not have option to recovery. It will be dead.

1. Download and extract CWM (there should be only 2 files with extension txt and img

2. Disconect phone from PC and turn it off

3. Start Flash Tool

4. Press Scatter-loading and choose TXT file (by default only RECOVERY is marked, PRELOADER and DSP_BL are RED and unchecked. Leave as it is)

6. Choose Download (or press F9)

7. Plug phone via USB cable (do not turn it on)

Phone (PRELOADER device) should be found by OS and CWM installaton will start automatically. You have to have proper drivers installed in Windows first.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AShacks:
Hey,

Thank you for the info. I will try that. But the drivers were installed but he doesn't read my phone anymore with the 1.3.1. ROM..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pfr:
1.3.1 ROM is not an issue here. Phone can be without any ROM installed :P

When you connect turned off phone to PC using USB (Lighting) cable it is recognized for few seconds as PRELOAD device and that drivers must be installed to allow you flash phone using flash tool.

I was not able to do flash my phone under Windows 8 (even with Windows 8 drivers installed), it was possible only using Virtual Machine with Windows XP installed.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AShacks:
But installed ICS ROM before through flashtool and that worked or is that different?

Iam now on V1.3.1 - but i have the same Problem with every other ROM for this device:

Google+ isnt shown in market and if i try to install it manuel it says there are mising shared files - is there a solution to get Google+ working on the i5 N2 ??
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pfr:
I suspect during ICS upgrade via Flash Tool you also upgraded PRELOADER. If so - Windows will not recognize your phone in PRELOADER mode until install correct drivers (searching Internet I found many different drivers for Goophone i5). I have them at home, I try to upload them somewhere some and share with you. Correct driver will resolve problems.

I strongly not recommend upgrading PRELOADER until it is really required. This is the most important part of internal software and once it is damaged, phone is useless...

---------- Post added at 10:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 AM ----------

Correct, at Google Play Store there is information that your phone is not compatible with that appilcation. Anyway I have .apk which has been installed successfully on ROM version V1.3.1 but it stops very often :( Maybe will work better on ICS ?

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Trots:
I have a problem, and I hope somebody can help me.

A friend of mine bought a goophone i5. She tried to flash it, using the SP flash tool. This way he was able to install a different ROM. The problem is that the touchscreen does not work. She wanted to throw the phone away, and give up, so I offered to have a go at fixing it.

So the situation is as follows:

- The touchscreen does not respond.

- I am unable to get into the recovery screen. volume down & power on does not seem to work. Even when flashing a cwm onto it with SP flash tool.

- The phone boots into whatever rom my friend installed.

- The phone gets found by SP flash tool.

Could somebody give me a way to attack this problem? :P

I'm wondering if the touchscreen and the recovery keys don't work because it's not really a goophone i5?

How do I know it really is a goophone-i5 ?

On the packaging it does indeed say goophone i5-black, and it looks like one. But the only real information I get is from SP flash tool. It says DRAM: 512mb/4096mb. (is this correct with the i5? Shouldn't it have more?).

Any help or suggestion would be appreciated very much. I would love to give my friend her phone back in working order.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pfr:
[MENTION=1203944]Trots[/MENTION] - yep, wrong firmware was installed. 512mb/4096mb - is not enough to recognize what phone you have...

Your friend can have Goophone i5s and uploaded firmware for i5 or vice versa. Main question - when you connect power off Goophone to your PC - is it recognized as new hardware ? This tool can help you check this

http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html

I just realized that you wrote that phone gets found by SP flash tool - if so that is very good news.

Are you able to enter Factory Mode ? Pressing VOL+ and POWER ON ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Trots:
I'm at work at the moment, so I can't check if my pc recognises the new hardware just yet. But, yes, Smart Phone Flash Tool is able to see the phone and I am able to "download" the ROM to the phone.

Pressing vol+ & power on does not seem to work. (I press volume + and the press power on. as it starts to boot, I let go of the power button but keep the volume+ pressed. This doesn't work. I'm starting to doubt I do it right though. :) )

I just tried the usb detection software. When connecting the phone while powered off, it shows the connection only briefly turning green. A couple of seconds it shows green: MediaTek PreLoader USB VCOM Port

(when connecting while powered on it stays green: Linux File-CD Gadget USB Device)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pfr:
Perfect, it looks this phone is ready to recovery ;) the only problem is to guess what model is this.. I wonder if MKT Droid Tools can get any data from the phone in Preloader mode or when started...You can check this by installing the tool below:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2160490

Then you should install recovery with CWM to this phone.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Trots:
I'm afraid I can't get MKT Droid to work/show the information on the phone. It mentions that I should enable USB debugging on the phone, which I can't without touchscreen control.

Any other suggestions?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pfr:
I am affraid in that case I don't know how to determine what processor is inside of your phone. Do you have the link where it was bought ?

If it is real Goophone i5 / I5 N2 / i5 N2 QHD or clone then should have MKT6577 processor. For that processor you should "download" the following recovery:

http://mygoophone.com/downloads/Recovery.zip

I think (but I am not 100% sure) that installing wrong recovery should not damage the phone and should not erase/damage PRELOADER.

That means that in worst scenario the phone should start in PRELOADER mode but not boot into Android. I am affraid that is all I can say based on my experience and information we can get from your phone...decision is yours :fingers-crossed:
