Change SMS default app

Hi everyone!

I've had an i5s since the end of May and I love it. Which is impressive considering it got my convert from being a staunch iPhone addict.

That being said, I hate the calendar issues and I'm struggling with the default SMS app. I would really like to change the default SMS app but I can't figure out how.

I'm trying to use Chomp and the first message I send sends but every subsequent message gets a "Send Message Failure".

I uninstalled the stock SMS with Titanium Backup and that was a no go.

So I reinstalled SMS with Titanium Backup and then tried freezing and that didn't work.

Can I actually change the default SMS program or is this another bug like the calendar?

Thanks everyone!

I hate to say it but you might be boned

My boyfriend and I each have "iPloxe" i5s and he also has an actual goophone i5. He had to send his i5 back to get the proper rom installed and when the phone came back there was a note in the box saying that altering the rom or flashing a non-approved rom would void the warranty..

I'm not sure if this is a new policy Android-Sale has implemented but if you can't fix it on your own, I'm pretty sure you can't sent it back.

Solving imei issue

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.

I'm working on a stock AOSP ROM for this. I found a good base for this phone.

Also found source code for the kernel on github.
[General Questions and Answers] tanv28:
That would be great.

My i5s has just arrived. I bought it from dhgate from android-sale.

The phone is not too bad.

Build quality is adequate and the charging port is micro USB which is one of the reasons I went for this version.

The screen is nice but having to get used to the resolution (I have a HTC One)!

I have noticed that wifi does intermittently cut out.

I have used the code to switch between the user interfaces but the settings page remains in iOS style rather than the android version. Is this normal?

My version seems to be in English with no Chinese apps. It also had the google play store already installed. Would that be the manuxo rom?

I used a root checker to verify that it is already rooted.

How can I check which rom is installed as I cannot seem to get to the normal android settings?

Also I am wondering if the rom is actually ICS rather than jelly bean. I cannot seem to access google now.

There also seems to be no way to have live wallpapers or use the advanced task killer widget despite using nova launcher.

Are these typical findings of others with this phone?

Would the AOSP version of the rom be a purer version of jelly bean but keep the use of the home button (it's helpful to keep the long press function to activate the back / home/ menu soft keys)

Many questions but I am quite excited about the possibilities. I will make my way through the 90 pages of this thread but would appreciate if anyone already has the answers

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] tylerwatt12:
I just released the mostly stock ROM. It's based off an H2000+ ROM with tweaks.

ROM link

To answer you're questions,

It's actually 4.0.4, all the suppliers lie to you.

Try out the stock rom, a lot of the iphone style rom is broken because the build.prop is edited to show jellybean instead of ICS. for example, google play services won't load, which many applications require.

The softkeys are built into the rom like a Nexus. I may try porting pie controls later.
[General Questions and Answers] agusxd:
Does anyone know if the Services option at settings was availble in the stock rom?
[General Questions and Answers] tanv28:
That's great work.

I'm keen to try this rom.

Is there any way to back up my current rom before proceeding? like a nandroid backup.

Im not sure how to install clockworkmod or TWRP on the phone in its current state.

is there a way to do that?
[General Questions and Answers] tylerwatt12:
clockwordmod is included in my rom, just open the scatter file and uncheck every tic mark besides recovery, flash it then reboot holding the up volume key.
[General Questions and Answers] tanv28:
Appreciate the help.

Your ROM is fantastic and I'm finding that it really has made the phone enjoyable to use.

Not getting much luck with locating a GPS signal as yet but have only used it indoors so far.

I realised that I hadn't made any calls on it until just now and have found the earpiece speaker pretty poor quality. I think I saw something in this thread about replacing the speaker and so may have a look at how feasible that is.

working like a breeze

Using icantbelieveitsnotAOSP Rom thread instructions, links to mychineesephone mtk drivers handling (plus windows 8 unsigned drivers installation methods)

It took me like 1 hour (allin) to install.

Every single step is clear and my device is working like a charm, google services like Youtube are fully working (it wasn't with stock and maxuno's Rom).

Maxuno's Rom was a good step forward imo but iOS launcher was too heavy for this phone.

I strongly recommand icantbelieveitsnotAOSP Rom for :

-No more chineese app's unwanted

-Maxuno's Rom lack of availability

-Android almost stock run fast

-Google services works well (including Youtube !!!!!!)

-Install thread is clear, well explained and contain every information you need to not getting lost during flashing.

Good work on it, my goophone revives !

Goophone i5s gold Issues

Hi, I have a Goophone i5s from efit (dhagte) an I will give you some impressions of the phone:

Settings/general/about:

Version: 7.0 (11A466)

Version Date: 2013/12/04 09:45

Model: MF353ZP/A

Modem Firmware: 4.2.2

I hope this datas are not fake datas of the phone!

GPS ok!

Issues:

slow

Blutooth connection is not stable in the car (other phones have a stable connection in the same car)

not all setting-options are translated from the original Android - so it is not possible to turn of the notifications warnings for roaming which is a big problem for me because here in Austria we have national roaming providers and I have to press the notification warning butten everytime before the phone can call out.

On the homescreen there is no possibility (button) to turn on/off the data connection so everytime I must go to settings/Celluar/Data connection .. to switch on/off,

a big problem is the mail-client, which is not be able to setup an Exchcange-Account to an Microsoft Exchange Server -

during setup the mail-app crashes,

Another problem is that there is no possibility to increase the system font size,

If you want to switch to another keyboard like "Swiftkey" every time after reboot the phone you must change the default keboard in the settings menu again.

I know this are many items wich should be improved and this to do needs a lot of time of the great developers here.

If you could solve any of the above issues , bugs it would be great!

Is there a possibility to install an original Android stock rom without the IOS7 style?

Can you tell me which ROMS are suitable for my phone (see above)?

Sorry for my English I am not an english people but I will try my best.

thanks a lot for your doing and best regards

Some insights from this phone:

- Camera quality is extremly bad when i compare with my Xperia Z :laugh: but with this price is reasonable and for Instagram comfortable :good:

- At first and second sight looks great and like real iPhone 5s, i can't believe :eek:

- System is sometimes laggy, but some tweaking can help.

- Display have better viewing angles than my 10x more expensive Xperia Z. Resolution and quality is very, very good for this price. :good:

- System specs say different info than reality is, but no problem for me.

- No micro USB connector, need 8 pin (Ligtning connector) USB cable same as for real iPhone 5 or 5s. I bought some on eBay for 1$ each.

- You can buy same acessories as for real iPhone 5 or 5s (pouch, screen shields, covers, cases etc.) :good: :D

- Phone have cca 1100mAh battery (is good quality) but with some tweaks you can buy iPhone 4s (yes 4S) original battery (on eBay) with 1400mAh and change. On youtube is some manuals how to.
