[General Questions and Answers] flavien317:
hi, anybody have new about the zophone i5 quad core with qualcomm cpu ?
[General Questions and Answers] Chaos Storm:
So I purchased one of the ZoPhone Clones from a seller on eBay who had ordered it like 2 months ago and was wanting to get rid of it.

I was able to install Google Play by using the gapps.zip from the goophone thread. One important thing for these phones, do not ever delete an app! If you want to play around simply add extension "bak" to any files in /system/app if you want to try and replace or fix something.

Also, have Snap Pea installed on your Desktop PC. It was a lifesaver for me. I removed the Siri.apk and the system crashed and wouldn't load without a constant error message. But I could still pull down the notification bar and play with USB settings and connect to WiFi. So I installed Snap Pea's Web Control app and manually updated/installed Root Explorer, quickly dismissed the error message and approved the software install and then opened the app (which bypassed any further messages) so I could rename the files I touched. After a reboot, the system was stable.

One thing I am struggling with is Contacts, Calender and Mail. Because it's using a very modified Apple UI, many of the "Google" based apps will crash when trying to Sync. I fixed the crashes by disabling "iCloud" in the control panel. But Gmail won't sync. So I am searching for stock Contacts.apk that will work with this unit.

I also opened up the phone and found what kind of build quality it has, so I know there are a few things I can improve. I need to put a small dab of hot glue where the vibration switch is as it isn't secured, so it will likely break after not too much use. I also need to put some spacers between the battery and the LCD as there is considerable gap between these items and even though it clips in place you can still feel "give" in the LCD when you tap it. I did replace the 32GB SD card with a Kingston 16GB, my computer saw the SD Card as a 32GB whereas Android said it had a problem and formatted it as 16GB. Weird. So probably a bogus SD.

I'll post any info I find as my progress continues. I haven't identified my device yet, that will come eventually.

APN Manager Pro enabled me to get the phone to work on AT&T! That was the big hurdle. Now I can make calls, send texts, and use the data.

It says its connected to my gmail account (and I do get my gmail) but nothing is imported either into calendar or contacts.

Still struggling with google sync of calendars and contacts.

I've tried installing the google sync calendar and contacts apks but they don't install. I get an error.

Gmail sets up fine and syncs but I can't set it up as Exchange, only Pop3.

Exchange would be nice to get it to sync contacts/calendar but it says it needs certificates to do that and I'm guessing that's an android shortcoming.

In 4pda.ru you have at least four different roms with flasher tools too, just look in the thread. I dosnt need to flash because i just need this .conf file and i replaced it with root browser and set permissions without flashing

I think in the first post of this thread we need to organize all the files , tools and roms, and a mega account with all this stuff for everyone maybe can be a cool idea, because lot of files from 4pda.ru were erased after few weeks/months

Android Ver.: 4.0.4

SW Ver.: ALPS, ICS2.MP.V1.19

If you have this phone and you have achieved better stability by flashing a rom or installing something please let me know. The phone does not save settings as is. Google play will work, but then when you shut phone off and turn it on again, you need to go through the whole process of getting past the "could not find stable connection" issue etc.

Its barely better than a brick to me.

I think curiosity got the better of me, got this just to play around and see what its like.

I know with fakes there are better quality ones, and lower quality ones. and after going through numerous youtube videos and websites offering the goophone and zophone for sale, i've now learnt that there are fakes of fakes.

I can't believe there are fake goophones and zophones, I'm pretty sure i got a fake zophone as it doesn;t have the zophone serial sticker on the box, nor the vip card with the number to register for the support forums.

I flashed a rom using CWM and the screen died. Even with a bad ROM i should still be able to get into recovery and CWM again, but the screen doesn't turn on anymore. It still gets detected by my computer and when i put a sim card in, I can call it and the phone will still ring so i think the ROM flashed fine. And I was just unlucky that the screen died just at that moment.
[General Questions and Answers] trjons:
Which rom?
[General Questions and Answers] papix8:
hi guys, i'm really *surprised* (ehm...i don't know the right english word for saying that i'm incredibly surprised :D) to know that:

- there is the apple iphone

- there are goophone and zophone (clones of the original iphone)

- there are also alps, clone of zophone (at least, somebody told me this).

I have on my hands a white device, with dual sim card (normal size) and the front camera slightly on the left of the speaker, with two other sensors (may be one is the proximity and light sensor and the other a led; i don't know):

well, that was until yesterday; that "phone" had (and still have :( ) a little problem: it doesn't recognize sim cards and it can't even make emergency calls. The IMEI is fine.

I asked the seller for a new ROM (that's crazy; i can't even find what is my device, so how can i find a ROM??? :P). The seller gave me these link (hurry up, because they are going to expire):

http://fs.163.com/fs/preview/?file=...1pNPaUV8ntHbPbfqYG7v8L7Al8&title=Re:R: 5I rom

http://fs.163.com/fs/display/?p=X-N...4OsH4sgj406ZYrECJHC8i1eDGV&title=Re:R: 5I rom

http://fs.163.com/fs/preview/?file=...-CWOBqybbaGQlT4o9bicXwK1jM&title=Re:R: 5I rom

I flashed this new ROM (that was the first time, for me). The phone became pretty like an iphone, well...like an iPod :( i still have the phone problem (no signal at all). Now the phone is recognized as follows:

are there any other ROM i can try? The seller told me he's going to contact the factory in order to obtain a new ROM. Please help if you can, thank you

PS: anyway, i never EVER buy again a clone of anything. It's much better stick with chinese phone that are "original" (at least you know what phone you have, with this iphone-like phone i just became crazy googling around, just to find that nobody knows nothing :( )

not yet (is that only for fixing data connections (3g))? Because my problem is i can't receive any signal (so no phone calls, no sms and no internet). If this can fix also my problem could you please provide me a link to some post where it's explained how to use it? Thank you!
[General Questions and Answers] trjons:
I just did a Google search for APN Manager Pro APK and found several links. I think they are pirated copies though so I won't link them to here. Out of the box I couldn't get mine to read my SIM until I used that program.

I'm willing to try any ROM so I will probably try yours. It can't make the phone any more useless than it already is.
[General Questions and Answers] papix8:
ok thank you; i just installed the apk; anyway nothing happend (i still can't even get the signal strenght indicator). Did you made something else after installing that app? thank you again.
[General Questions and Answers] trjons:
My recollection is when I opened the program it immediately popped up with a list of potential APN's for connection.
[General Questions and Answers] electric0ant:
Yes there are definitely fakes of zophones, the thing is even the genuine apple parts are being copied, it's even easier for fakes to be copied.

If you are lucky they use the same parts, so the original zophone roms will work.

Mine seems to be different enough for flashtool to give an error while flashing the rom from zophone posted here. it still uses same chipset, same res screen etc. :(

It looks like the only way you are sure you are getting genuine goophone or zophone is to buy from them or an authorized reseller they have listed. I went with another seller as they where cheaper, and well what do you know I end up with a fake zophone.... sigh.

I think if you really want a cheap android phone, don't go for ones which are trying to copy a genuine one, there's bound to be issues. at least go for a company which are trying to make their own original phones, at least you can be sure that they will get updates of some kind, e.g. meizu or Xiaomi.

I'm actually really impressed with Meizu, I have played with the demo phones in their store in Hong Kong, good build, good OS theme, good specs and a very reasonable price.

A rom given to me by my seller, it was a CWM rom, not like all the other roms which need to be flashed by flashtool.

[General Questions and Answers] cuando15:
papix8, have the same i5 alps clone. This phone, worked fine for a week (full simm signal, full wi-fi) until one day, lost simm signal (wifi continue till today, fine). The problem was, that my cell phone company had blocked the imeis. After lots of calls, they repaired and restored signal. Nowadays, the phone is working, but the simm signal it's very poor (i think it's that same of you), but wifi it's very well. I think it's all a firmware problem, but the rare thing, it's that the phone worke fine, the first week.

In other threat, i've a similar problem with an n9770, and recomended, replacing /etc/firmware folder with an older build and this worke for me, but for this solution, have to know exactly, the firmware that works.
[General Questions and Answers] electric0ant:
Here's the links my seller gave me:

http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=175452237&uk=2787344577

http://bangpai.taobao.com/group/thread/15082167-283100931.htm?spm=0.0.0.0.Jins45

definitely a fake zophone since they're not directing me to the zophone support forums. and that its a CWM ROM not a flashtool ROM.

to make it clear I accept no responsibilities about the result of flashing this ROM, as a warning my screen died right after flashing this rom. theoretically, it should not affect my screen as I should still be able to get into CWM even with a bad ROM, but that's what happened to me.

Update:

The phone still turns on and works, I can put a sim card into it and hear the phone ring if I call it.

The computer detects my phone when I turn it on and plug it in.

using mtk toolkit it can detect my phone, and now it shows as a goophone....
