zophone nano sim

Hi there,

I bought I zophone nano-sim from hkdayo via Dhgate.

This is the phone mayiandjay bought. It has 512MB Ram, true 6577 and 854 Screen Resolution.

I rooted the phone as mayiandjay explained and delete some of the chinese System apps via rootexplorer.

Unfortunately I deleted too many System apps. The phone now keeps displaying an error message when I start the launcher.

I can Access the recovery, but restore phone doesnt help and I have not made a backup yet.

I presume the way Forward is to use the flashtool, right? However - which is the right Rom to use?

hi Pax,

Do you have access to the forum?

Seems that there are quite a few files from the forum that we need, for example "iphone keyboard.apk".

can you download the file and make it available to us?

BTW thanks for the stock rom, I now use it on my zophone i5 version 2 (nano SIM).

I have managed to root the phone, removed some of the Chinese Apps, replace some apps, added some new apps, changed launcher to new version.

Still have problem with the keyboard, wifi, slow respond on the lock screen. My plans are to port some of the features from the goophone ROM to the zophone ROM, including kernel, wifi problem, 3g problem, etc ...

Have a lot to learn, but on the way to have new ROM for the zophone, but difficult to get hold of all the components. Seems that the Russian sites are very active and no others....

I purchased 2 Zophoe i5 - Micro Sim tray model- with 32 GB SD from a Chinese website. Today I got the 2 phones and I noticed that, when checking the "about" in the settings menu, one of them shows 64GB SD, the other shows 32GB.

I plugged them on my WinXP pc, but I could not get into the SD or the phone memory, the pc just showed 2 removable disks that when I click on them, it says plz insert a disk into the drive.

How can I handle this phone on PC to confirm the SD size and to add/remove files?

How can I make a backup for the firmware image so that, I can later restore if something goes wrong?

Both phones are working fine and Google play is working, I downloaded some games and apps without any problem.

EDIT:

I've just found out how to get into the files, from USB connected from the drop-down menu, then turning USB storage on. Now I found out the 64 GB SD phone is actually 32GB too. I don't know why it shows 64 GB in the phone about menu!!!

Now there are disk on pc, one is 2GB the other is 32GB, the small one is only having one empty folder called "LOST.DIR"

the 32GB disk is having all the files.

How can I get the firmware image for later restore? any help is appreciated.

thanks.

rom

sorry for the stupid question but having the same hardware you could install the rom for goophone in zophone?
[General Questions and Answers] vnman:
Do not try it

Your phone will turn into a brick if you try to upload Goophone to your zophone.

It is technically the same but the difference is in the layout of the firmware.

I am trying to hold the original zophone ROM and add/remove apps and add more features to the zophone and almost there.

There are a few things that need to be done to the original zophone ROM that I have, including wifi instability, laggy of the lock screen.

---------- Post added at 10:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:39 AM ----------

In other words, I am working on improving original zophone ROM that I got from Pax.

The zophone i5 that I have is the nano SIM version from androidforcheap, as you see from the youtube video of androidforcheap the wifi signal instability is the same. The signal goes from 1 bar to 2 bars, I have run Wifi Analyzer and found that if the signal is below -80 the wifi on the phone automatically disabled.

Another thing I found is that if you hold the phone in certain way you will get 2 bars and more stability. It might be hardware issues, it might be software issues. One way to find out is to update the kernel and/or update the wifi driver.

I also order the metal bumper frame to see if the frame can improve the signals, in order to rule out the hardware issues.

If anyone out there can point me in the right directions, much appriciated...

Of course I will release the ROM once I think it is stable enough....

You can cut any usb cable and connect red and black wires to battery wires inside the phone. About 20-30min. Then you can charge as usual

Tengda A77 White Micro SIM

Hi Guys,

I've bought a phone ultimate iPhone 5 White 1:1 Copy with the same specs that I'm currently quoting and it is actually Tengda A77 White:

manufacturer: alps

model: iPhone5

device: htt77_ics2

sw: alps.ics2.mp.v1.19

version 4.2.0 (no way)

It comes with Micro SIM slot, but I've tried an original NANO sim from an original iPhone 5 and it works fine.

It came ROOT-ed by default, the strange thing is that I'm not able to install GTalk it is crushing when I try to make audio or video call.

The other strange thing is that the factory recovery is not able to flash any update and in a matter of fact I'm able to see the update.zip and I'm able to navigate and execute the update.zip but after that the recovery is saying something like "SDCARD Partition is not mounted or found" or something like that. Also the GPS and the Light sensor are not working at all.

So my question is:

Is there any custom ROM for this Tengda A77 phone in which all the GAPPS are working properly(including GTalk without crashing) and also all the sensors and the GPS to work propperly ?!

Currently I have GPlay, GMAPS(but the GPS is not working :silly:) but most of the applications seems to be incompatible with the device (the good old stupid MediaTek "uncompatible device" story) and there is no GTalk preinstalled.

Please if someone did some work about that phone already, please shareand I'll donate guys !!! Currently I'm not using the phone but my wife is using it, but without the GPS and the GTalk it is a kind of a nightmare :eek: and now I;m bypassing somehow the GTALK issue, by using the Nimbuzz and if it's up to video calling, thanks god that the Skype, Fring (the video is upside down) and Tango are also working fine. The battery is 1200mAh and it dies for a day.
