Can anyone comment on the battery life of this Goophone i5S with Manuxo's new ROM?

Is there at this point any reason to pick up the more expensive original Goophone i5? I guess it has a higher resolution screen and more RAM, but what about software stability?

You have to use a blade or something which is very very thin. I have found that this phone has a 8 gig micro SD card on the other side of the system board. I am upgrading mine to 16 gig. My advice to all, if you do not know how to solder, do not open your phone.

Problem with touch display

Hi, i have same problem as anaplas_junior , i installed this new ROM and after that iam unable to click at display. Click's are totally different then they are supposed to be. Iam clicking at low bottom and somehow it react's to upper side of display. What is worst, as anaplas_junior said, going back to STOCK rom will not help. Even with stock ROM touch display is crazy. Look's like new ROM got something which recalibrates i5S white version phones and even STOCK ROM will not fix it... guy's our phones are useless now, please help us to fix it :crying:

I got white version from android-sale , version BD75_77_V00_Iphone5_V08 - i messaged Manuxo but no respond, but he must have alot work with this so i understand that. I checked like whole internet about this problem and alot user's got problem with touch display's after flashing new ROM, but all different android's and mostly tablet's so no working solution for my i5S :( i tried every option in factory restore mode, even got to factory settings thru *#*#3646633#*#* code ( dont ask how i manage to click it thru broken touch screen, it was hell and it took like half a hour to find out where in hell is which number in my "new" touch screen :laugh: ) even there i got alot setting for touch screen but no help... iam kinda stucked here and i think only Manuxo will know answer becouse he made this ROM , so maybe, just maybe he know why this touch screen went crazy :confused:
[General Questions and Answers] nzperez:
Yeah I had the common problems with my black one and Manuxo helped me fix everything. I ordered a white one and it will be here in about a week and a half. I assumed these are all the same. How do you identify the version number?

Goophone I5s - Hardware mode

I am in the process of doing a hardware mode. I have ordered two speakers similar to Goophone I5s speaker. I should be deceiving those speakers with in a few days. I have already taken my phone a part and upgraded my internal sd card to 16 GB. Check out the pictures below.
[General Questions and Answers] fuDev1:
btw any warrantie stickers there? i was wondering about changing SD card to bigger one but dont want to loose waranty when clearly i got broken i5S now becouse of that touchscreen issue... anyway. Is it hard to replace it? Or open that i5S
[General Questions and Answers] z_man3007:
The connections inside the phone are very poorly done. Connector's are glued together to hold in place, which is crazy. Also, the micro SD card slot is on the other side of the system board. In order to access the micro sd card slot, you have to take it apart completely. If you are not good at opening or taking apart things, DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT. Also, putting it together is even more harder because of tiny parts. I guess, Goophone maker didn't want end user's to modify/upgrade their phones.

Note: I didn't find any WARRANTY stickers inside.

How hard is it to take the front out. And how do you do it exactly. i see your screen is is not connected does that just plug in or is it soldered. it would be really nice if you could post a video of it with it open.

i need the stockrom from the white version,because the touch screen of my friend's phone has stopped working after he flashed the manuxo rom
[General Questions and Answers] fuDev1:
stockrom here at 1st page will probably wont help, we need stock rom of white i5s , look's like they are different versions. Really dont understand why color of phone can be issue but it really look's like it is. So beware "white" guys, this ROM will brick your touch screen with no FIX yet...
[General Questions and Answers] eliot_11:
Do not understand how the color makes the internal software is different .. I hope you can fix it soon

Enviado desde mi GT-N7100 usando Tapatalk 2
[General Questions and Answers] z_man3007:
I have just received one of the speakers that I have ordered, so I might do a video as you have suggested. There are two black strips on the back of the phone, one is at the top where the camera is and the other one is at the bottom. There are total of four screws under those two black strips. Also, there are two tiny screws that you need take them off at the bottom of the phone, next to usb charging port. Once, you remove those screws, you can slowly open the screen. The screen is not soldered to the system board, it has two connectors which can be opened easily with finger. Hopefully, the speaker will work, in-call volume is the only reason why I cannot use the phone.

[General Questions and Answers] nzperez:
Current Rom Version 1.0 is for Black Phones Only

Rooting can be done using method posted on page 1 by Manuxo. If you are not able to root due to non recognition install drivers MT65XX USB DRIVERS CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE MT65XX USB DRIVERS

Installing PlayStore from factory rom - if rooting from factory version continue to page 8 and instrutions posted by z_man3007.

Flashing to new english Rom 1.0 by Manuxo can be done by following procedure http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=40144799#post40144799 This Rom already contains a working version of playstore and can be rooted using procedure on page 1 posted by Manuxo

If you are not able to Flash due to non recognition you will need to install MTK_DRIVE drivers https://mega.co.nz/#!rx4H0RqY!XkeXfC...xWsxr_MdTW7_0A

Flashing to Factory Rom can be done by following procedure posted by z_man3007 on page 12

If you have bricked your phone (black version) and cannot re-flash your phone and flashing software will no longer recognize your device it is likely that your computer is reading the device as the drivers installed during rooting of your phone. In this case you will need an additional computer to install MTK_Drive drivers and run the flash program to re-flash your phone.

The instructions above have only been tested on black device. White devices should wait to hear more.

[General Questions and Answers] fuDev1:
Regarding to this last point, if you bricked phone and cannot re-flash , open device manager and connect phone to another USB port, for few second's you will see "MT65xx preloader" right click on it fast and you will be able to uninstall/reinstall driver's you need to change. This is if you dont have near any other PC.

1) Stock rom for WHITE Goophone i5s - https://mega.co.nz/#!nhYwiDqQ!PPf0YxK_d4mGzwOnOseWsgPVkdYzy3cgiqsc0CqMqZM

Extract the zip file and use the same Flash tool to load the scatter file from the extracted folder. Press F9 or click on download button. Turn off your phone completely, now connect your phone to the PC/Laptop and you should see the RED line going across. I am sure you all know the procedure.

I have loaded this rom to a black goophone i5s phone and I can see the Glitch. The screen was flickering and the touch was crazy. I have already rooted the stock rom and also few tools are already installed.

Also any functional playstore fix or it was just at new ROM which will brick white version?
[General Questions and Answers] z_man3007:
Follow my instruction on earlier pages how to load the play store. It should be same procedure. All you need to do is download Vending.apk file and copy to /system/app/ folder and change the permission on the file. Play Store will be installed automatically once you copy the Vending.apk file to the system/app folder.
