Hi,

i have offered a Goophone i5 to my gf last month, i have purchased it from androidsale @ dhgate.

It's a genuine one from goophone.hk not .com.

You can check for the bee logo behind your unit and compare it to each site's logo.

And no problem for installing with manuxo roms (waiting for a newer version to flash for my gf because she's complaining about various bugs / fc like imported fb contacts...)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] issu:
my copy has no logo on the back
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Jet12:
boot

Maybe you received another phone. This phone shows goophone bootlogo when you tun on the phone?

So take more picks from this phone to help us to help you better.

Android-sale sell original goophones I5 lite and goophone I5s. But they sell another copys like that.

these are the images of the phone received by android-sale I installed this rom, but there are many things ... it looks like it is not compatible
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AShacks:
Seems like a fake goophone to me?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] issu:
they have cheated me ... I purchased the goophone by android-sale because I believed were reliable. I was wrong.

---------- Post added at 08:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:50 AM ----------

Even the included cable is of very poor quality ... used twice no longer works.

Where can I buy another one?

Iphone cable is fully compatible?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AShacks:
Original apple cables won't work. Buy a third party cable. Yes the cable that comes with it is very bad!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Watslaw:
Well, you won't believe - but mine works with original Apple cables!

I have i5 with bee logo, not Apple. Still not sure it's 'original GooPhone' though.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Watslaw:
Anyone who wants a sleek look original apple logo during boot time without any other logos or messages - here's a CWM mode update [link].

It also kills all boot-up sounds if any exist.

Don't know how to install?

1. Download and copy this zip file without unpacking to your sd card

2. Boot up your GooPhone i5 into recovery mode (using Rebooter - Reboor Recovery from IOS interface or by holding Volume- and Power when your device is switched off)

2. Select Install zip from sdcard (2-nd item)

3. Select Choose zip from sdcard (1-st item)

4. Select goophone-i5-applelogo-cwm.zip

After successfull installation select Reboot system now

Actions done are very simple: deleting boot up sounds files and replacing logo images. No other modules are affected.

Note: this patch was tested by me several times, but I think this disclaimer is necessary:

You're doing it at your own risk!

:)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AShacks:
That would be awesome. All my 5 cables I bought from dx and ebay are broken. I'm now using a flat cable. Works fine for now
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Watslaw:
At least I tried the original cable that came in a box with original iPhone 5. Everything worked fine.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jo139:
I bought also a goophone from android-sale on dhgate. The link is provided by Peter from thecheapstore.com

The bee logo was gone after 5 days of usage. I bought a Goophone from thecheapstore.com, androidsale and fastcardtech

In my eyes, none of them are reliable. It's all about having luck :)

You can buy cheap cables on ebay and dhgate. I bought a set of 20, if you are from Europe contact me by pm.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kthz:
I can't be sure if you have a fake goophone or not.. I have read on some other forums that people were asking "no logo" versions or with "an apple logo" snapped on the back and were receiving it just like that (photos as proof).

Thing is that if you can't install those roms for any reason, you may have some incompatible unit (being fake or defective).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Watslaw:

make a screenshot using Snappea app - and there you'll see the real resolution. or open this link directly from your phone to get it checked online (don't use chrome or opera, better use uc browser or some other native browser

Well, you definitely have so-called Goophone i5s. This thread is for you, but be aware your goofake may be incompatible with the firmware. be careful not to brick your phone!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Watslaw:
Android version is wrong. Chipset is probably MTK6575. The firmware from this thread (and for i5s also) won't help you. You have a single-core CPU. My sorrows.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gerstavros:
Those who have bought the original goophone i5, could give us a reliable seller? Not android-sale of course

Goophone ROM v1.2

Hello everyone!

I'm just here to say that i'm working on the version 1.2 of my rom that will bring some changes to the performance and user experience of goophone i5.

News coming soon! =)

Regards
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Chi Am:
As you know, I had much problems trying to install this recovery image.

The 0131 ROM contains a recovery image and I was able to install with the Flash_Tool. So I replaced the the Chinese recovery image with this English recovery image within the 0131 ROM and flashed the ROM a second time and voila, the CWM is the English version.

I also tried and failed to install my preferred version of "CWM-5.0.2.8-u8815-final-update-signed", as not all versions of CWMs are equal..............
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mav2005:
Hi sorry, can you provide clearer instructions on how to install the ROM

do I need to reset to factory data first? then copy the zip files and them install them?

a full clear path of instructions would be great

thank you
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Chi Am:
You'd need to provide more details of your device and what is already installed ie. does it have Root ?, CWM ? etcetera..............................................

Version 1.2 ROM for Goophone i5 ...

Exciting Manuxo :good:. Will this v1.2 be a pure Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) or will it be iOS theme? :confused: I would rather have the ICS ROM that ColonelZap found. There are a few issues with it, but what the heck it is really great overall.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mav2005:
I don't see a 7th option on my phone to wide dalvik cache
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Chi Am:
If I remember correctly, wiping Dalvik Cache option is underlayered in Advance.

Advance > wipe dalvik (assumming you are inside CWM)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] CrispHotdog:
Hi!

Hi! So the CWM colonelzap uploaded didn't work for me because when I attempt to flash it using Smart Phone Flash Tool, it says the recovery.img is too big :( I DID however read a bazillion tutorials and made my own CWM patch for my phone which was < 5mbs, however whenever I try to install a ROM (such as this one) I get an error.

'assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img")' What does this mean? :/

I really want to try your ROM and I've been at it for two days now! hahaha
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Manuxo:
Try to flash the english CWM with smartphone flash tool.

All you need to do is:

- Turn off your phone

- Download smartphone flash tool

- Download English CWM

- Open the software Smartphone flash tool

- Load the scatter from the Extracted English CWM folder

- Press the Download Button on SP Flash tool

- Connect your phone to the pc with it powered off.

- Wait until all the bars load and wait for a gree circle to pop up

- Done. You have the right CWM installed.

Then just copy the rom to the sdcard and install it with CWM.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Chi Am:
I think some people maybe having problems using the scatter flash tool with the English CWM recovery file because of their device...........if it works then fine, if not then it may be frustrating as it seems all solutions fail. I for one had this problem and had to "piggy-back" this recovery in a flashable ROM before I have usage of CWM.

Am looking forward to install v1.2 hopefully it will address the problems of keyboard (still have Chinese) options in particular as I have yet to solve this predicament at every direction.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
I installed Go Keyboard and set it to english. It works without issues.

It even has an iPhone theme, if you'd like.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] CrispHotdog:
The english CWM recovery file is actually too big for me to flash onto my phone, by a 100kbs or so :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] train1980:
after installing the rom windows 7 does not recognize the phone why?

This rom is great... The phone is so fast and is more responsive. Never been happier with this phone till now. Great Job Mate

[Miscellaneous Android Development] alduleimi:
Outstanding ROM, it feels much faster .. Getting over 5900 on antutu, previously just over 4000

Quick question though, is there an easy way to change the apps icons to match the iphone version (like twitter, whatsapp, Skype, ..etc) ?

Also the App Store icon reverted back to the play store icon, can this be changed as well ?

Thanks

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Chi Am:
The ROM which I installed already have Smart_Keyboard_Pro apk, somehow it didn't install. I also deleted the pinyinIME apk so now I have no options to have Chinese with the keyboard after reinstal :D

I don't like Go Keyboard as it also contain ads................unless it is the paid version.

Aha, been waiting for this to come out........TYVM.

Strange you had a score of just over 4000, mine was 66xx or 64xx, cannot record exactly as it was more important to make it function smoothly rather than wasting time checking its biceps. I had An tutu just to make sure the received product is MTK6577 with a 960x540 screen resolution.

If you want to have a logo that disappears after 5 days, buy at android sale.

I must say there were good Goophones - i took mine from them, and it was okay and with bee logo. The purchase was not directly from android-sale though - I took a link from it to their page at dhgate.

a shιt store telling fake specs, without warranty and after sales support
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AShacks:
Agree with that. Their aftersale service is very very bad!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Watslaw:
From this point each chinese shop is a sh!t... :) neither better nor worse than any other. Telling too much and a little untruth among of plenty words is in Chinese trade psychology aged thousands of years.

Regards,

Watslaw
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gerstavros:
at least some others have some after sales support and warranty, and communication and don't tell lies to sell
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Watslaw:
Yepp, but confess - just a few of them... The only way to take a good item from China is to take it from a proven source.

Not all are bad. TheCheapChoice was great. Granted I had a little leverage as I opened a paypal dispute to ensure I got the service I needed. lol :p However, I think Peter(TCC) would've been helpful even if I didn't open the dispute.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] andrews317:
I just saw this Goophone a few hours ago and I am interested on getting one. It seems a pretty fun device to play with. The problem is that I´ve found different spec lists on google, I am not really sure which is the real phone. I was going to buy it on android sale, but I´ve read on this thread it is not a trusted site. Could you suggest me where to get it and if there is a version with the apple logo.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Jet12:
Zophone pro is not quadcore

Guys. Some days ago one guy bought this zophone pro form fastcartech and posted her some teste results. And this phone is not quadcore, it's dual core with a rom modified to fool us and foll untutu tester. Maybe this phone could be good, but we don't know what rom are inside it, and the sellers will not support you for that.

You can buy an original goophone with thecheapchoice.com and all rand the phone will acept manucho's, mayandjay, colonelzap, cafix and many others roms.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mat33n:
O wow how did they change the Z-device tester it says cores = 4?

But yeah come to think of it... the GPU us wrong for the processor!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Jet12:
Sad but true.

I don't know how, but they did it. Chineses are cleaver to fool people.

Theres no i5 quadcore yet. All i5 quadcore that you see are MTK 6577 or MTK 6575.

Sad but true.

Hey, stop-stop-stop, what are you doing?? First of all, do you know what exactly is your phone made of? Do you have dual-core processor with MT6577 chipset or single-core at MT6575? Following to info above, you have nano sim - and this means you can probably have anything inside. Never try to flash your phone with incompatible firmware.

In order to thank anyone here just click THANKS button on the bottom left of the post which helped you :cowboy:

You mean you cannot browse the CWM with Volume up/down buttons?

Then try swiping left / right in the bottom of the screen. If this doesn't help, there might be a driver incompatibility problem in this CWM :(

Select was always associated with Power button.
