Thank you very much for your answer. Followed your steps with attention, something seems not working for me,

Done everything, but it doesn't work. Seems to me as if the new apk (same name as before), need not only to be copied in the system\app folder, but to be installed also.... Verified existance of new file, system\app IphoneLockScreen.apk, permissions are rw-r--r--, size is 4.17mb, date is Jun 04... don't understand (even if I'm at android, I followed advices and steps...) :rolleyes:

PS. When I rooted... I don't know why, but this thing doesn't seem clear to me. What does this phrase mean? "make sure that you accept the SU Request"...

From page 1, instructions to root the device:

HOW TO ROOT IT

- Download this Batch

[...]

- Wait until its rooted.

It will restart and then make sure that you accept the SU Request.

Neither for me, same situation as said in my prevoius post. Maybe 'cause I'm a newbie, though I used any possible attention in doing things :rolleyes:

Lock and Unlock seem to work only if the language is in English (try it) but if you change in other language, only unlock seems to work ;)

Yesterday I purchased a Goophone i5s white (Lightning connector) from Android-sale.com at the discounted price of $129.99 (only £86!) - today I was sent the tracking number. I can't wait for it to arrive! :)
[General Questions and Answers] Watslaw:
Sorry for re-asking, but just to confirm: did you personally try to install ColonelZap CWM at GooPhone i5s wirh screen resolution 840x...? I highlight the screen resolution because it is defining the difference between device hardware.

I am asking in order to ensure I won't brick it.

I know how to unbrick it although, know how to work with droid tools, how to root, flash with sp flash tool etc., but I'd better ask a question than waste my time for restoring device functionality.

If you confirm, I'll start porting rom for 840x resolution.

Hi, jimster! You're gonna have a few impatient weeks and trembling hands when checking the tracking info! :D

And I am asking about fake GooPhone i5s with hardware and screen other than in i5 lite and Zophone. Don't you understand that saying 'yes' will lead many subscribers of this thread to update their CWM's and probably brick their Goo's??

change boot animation i5s

Hi people.

First of all, devs, great job on this ROM.

I got my Goophone i5s a few weeks ago. Had some issues to connect to SP FLASH TOOL, like some of us had.

-Driver issues.

-Broken poor quality lightning cable.

-forgot to put USB-debug on. etc etc

So, finally i got this White version ROM installed. Now i really would like to change the boot animation. I still have the android(robot) bootanimation.

Unfortunately the *#0066# option for the Goophone i5, does not work for the budget version.

I found the boot animation files in ...System/Media.

bootanimation.zip

bootanimation02.zip

shutanimation.zip

anyone knows how to get the apple boot logo?

Thx in advance

[General Questions and Answers] kingkuma:
thanks buddy. I'll go try it out.

---------- Post added at 01:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 PM ----------

Hey thx for your effort, but it didnt work.

when i unzip your file. I get this logo.img file and a system folder, where do i need to put this logo.img file? The other files i already pasted in the system/media folder.

Also i see in the desc.txt file that the resolution is 960x540 which is for the I5 not I5s, but i guess thats not a real problem.

Thx again

Hi

Sorry for my English. Some values ​​can put microphone and headset, when I hear the other person well, but everyone I talk to hear me very low, you can raise the value of the microphone, if so someone can put I5S goophone values​​. Thank you.
[General Questions and Answers] Watslaw:
This is a CWM mode update for i5.

In order to do it manually you should replace:

- in folder 'system/media' replace bootanimation.zip and shutanimation.zip

- in folder 'system/media/images' replace boot_logo

I don't think there's any difference between i5 and i5s boot animation, but in order to avoid any incompatibilities - find attached these files from my i5.

NO. It is INCOMPATIBLE with white version

... Ah... And even this

===> Goophone i5 ROM V1.3.1

which you can find in this other thread? (Goophone i5 Lite ROM)? Not compatible with any white Goophone, I5 or I5s?

I read on this thread (may pages to read!) about people with white versions who had bricked them, so, all the people who have white versions, they use this thread only to have a backup of their stock ROM... (someone posted "white stock ROM" somewhere in the thread... to download and use for them who had bricked white versions...) correct?
[General Questions and Answers] Watslaw:
Yes, even this, and firmwares for i5 and i5s are absolutely NOT interchangeable.

Please check the post above, you were given a link to thread for white version.

Being a total newbie @ Android matters, I already did a great job on my device (in my personal opinion) thanks to Manuxo ROM & to help that I received and I'm receiving in this forum.

I'll use "Thanks" as many times I can. Thanks to you for sharing this info & helping :good:

Dear friend, you are doing everything absolutely correct. You better ask questions than try doing something by yourself and then asking for help to unbrick your device. Go forth!

---------- Post added at 06:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:01 PM ----------

You are absolutely right, that would me much more convenient to everyone.

I think it's even better to make a groop for Goophone and combine all ROMs for it there. Don't know whether the moderators support this idea or not, but there are at least five threads for Goo.

HELP screen brick

HELP:crying::crying:

my screen goophone i5S broke anyone know where I can get one

THANKS
[General Questions and Answers] Watslaw:
Unfortunately not because goo has its own specific screen glass which is incompatible with other chinese stuff and lower resolutiob makes it by-default incompatible with original apple spare parts

Look for someone who has bricked his phone and gave up trying to reanimate it. Keep in mind that both your and his sellers should be the same because otherwise you might probably get two different devices

You better consider it as a one-time purchase with a short lifetime though...

my Goophone white arrived (lightining) from dhgate.com (android-sale)

i want to share my impressions with you:

after the first version of the Goophone i5 bought directly from the android-sale.com in black version and micro-USB connector

I ordered two white ones from dhgate.com

-one from efit which is still in the custom and I have to provide documents of the purchase and I will pay the custom fee (I am in Italy)

and the other one

-bought from android-sale in dhgate.com

-it took about one month to arrive

-no custom fee

-ROM with Play store and rooted

-lightning connector

General feeling:

-good internal speaker volume

-good external speaker volume

-good 3G reception just "out-from-the-box"

-no GPS signal

-total space 32GB (!!!) but in windows explorer I have two partitions: one of 8GB (I believe the SD card) and one of 2GB (the internal flash memory?)

-version 6.0.1 (9A33A) -- I don't know what is it!

-Model Number iPhone5

-Modem Firmware 05.15.68

-Build number is a long string of characters including "NO_POXIMITY"--- does it mean that it hasn't have a proximity sensor?

How do I know what kind of model I have in hands? I mean is it a i5 or i5S? how do I get the resolution of the display?

here are the problems I get with it (not very important though)

1. GPS not workind. solutions?

2. the radio FM works both in head-set and external speaker. I haven't found a way to cut the external speaker

3. I installed 3CX app for VoIP. It basically works 9 times out of 10 with the external speaker no matter what I choose from the menu ("earpiece" or "speaker")

4. I installed the unlock new apk and it installed the one of the android (with the circle for unlock). this morning I didn't get how to turn off the alarm set from this interface.

5. the music app is really BAD. I used the original iphone5 head-set and it is really BAD (absouletely no bass)! is it the phone or

[General Questions and Answers] jimster32:
So weird - they put it up $10 to $139 the day after I purchased. I originally bought the black version off the website - but then after back and forth emails (because they said they can't do express shipping at the moment - so they refunded my shipping cost of 29.99 back to my credit card - annoying they dont have paypal anymore - bit dodgy actually) And while we were emailing eachother I asked if the black version had the lighting connector and not microusb - and they said "black version has microusb but white version has the lightning connector - so I said "can you send the white version instead then? is it in stock? because the website says "out of stock" - then they replied "yes white version has been shipping with tracking number **********HK"

Re the trembling hands checking the tracking info - can you please explain a little more? - but yes you are right - it has been 3 days since they said it was shipped and there is still no information displayed about the package when I enter the tracking number in the hk post website or other tracking websites.... should I worry? or is this normal or registered HK post?

[General Questions and Answers] Watslaw:
Yepp, it is really that hard buying something from China sellers. They make you drown in floods and waves of empty words, and you have to make huge effort to sort out what is correct and what is not..

And yes, the black i5s from them comes with microUSB. Comparing to i5, it has worse screen resolution, but speakers are much better.

It is more than normal, don't worry, it may take up to 5 days to appear in tracking info.
[General Questions and Answers] frupoli:
... So you are saying that I5S has BETTER audio than I5 ? Are you "sure" about this? Do you mean... Audio for normal calls?

I ask because, in my i5s, audio for calls seems low, as many other users told.

And I was wondering if i5 could be better under this aspect....
[General Questions and Answers] Watslaw:
The sound volume is low a bit, but you can increase it in Engineer mode (access it in appropriate way for your phone, go to Audio - Sound enhancement - Normal Mode - Parameter 6 - set value to 1).

I have... I had both i5 and i5s. i5 died today, i5s was presented to my colleague. But when they were alive, I've noticed that

ringer volume

and

loudspeaker volume

in i5s were at usable level, and in i5 - too low; I couldn't even use loudspeaker because nothing could be heard.
[General Questions and Answers] frupoli:
So, in your experience, youd had more problems with loudspeaker with i5. Worse than i5s.

It's not clear to me what does "engineer mode" mean.

I only find 3 volumes to verify:

Settings > Audio > Volumes > Music > volume is max

Settings > Audio > Volumes > Ring & notifications > volume is max

Settings > Audio > Volumes > Alarms> volume is max
[General Questions and Answers] Watslaw:
Check the first post in this thread:

2 - Access Factory Mode Code: *#*#3646633#*#*

Open the dialer and dial this number - voila! You're in Engineer Mode.

But I must warn you:

DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING THERE UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DO!

BTW I've fixed a mistake in my manual - you should change Parameter 6 for NORMAL MODE.

---------- Post added at 04:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:32 PM ----------

Exactly.
[General Questions and Answers] frupoli:
Done :)

Not found.

There are:

Audio > Normal mode

Audio > Headset mode

Audio > Loudspeaker mode

Audio > Speech Enhancement

Audio > Debug Info

Audio > Speech Logger

Audio > Audio Logger

Similar to whato you told me, I found this:

Audio > Speech enhancement> LoudSpeaker Mode ____ Parameter 6 _____ Value 0-65535 (value is now 400)

Is that value "400" that I should change?
[General Questions and Answers] Watslaw:
Yes, it is. But in another path:

Audio > Speech Enhancement > Normal Mode > Parameter 6, set Value from 400 to 1. Tap 'Set' button.

Unfortunately I don't have the phone now so I have to remember it and may make mistakes in exact names or sequences of actions. But it is there.
[General Questions and Answers] frupoli:
Done. Thank you.

Tried with one telephone call, don't think I will notice the difference. I guess it's hardware related.

You can say it's a low volume call, you have to "press" the phone to your ear to better understand the voice.
[General Questions and Answers] Watslaw:
Did you restart the phone?

I also didn't notice much difference, but in some cases it is really better heard. Anyway, the speaker inside is a real piece of crap; you better replace it with any compatible (it seems to me Nokia speaker fits there) if you know how to do it.
[General Questions and Answers] frupoli:
I restarted, and I will test in next calls.

spare parts

sup guys

i'm kinda new here, so a little bit of n00b guidance wouldnt hurt :D

recently i just bought myself a set of goophone i5 from china, it took 3 whole weeks (almost shot myself for the time that it took) to get to indonesia where i live. and surprisingly, it really lived up to its internet hype. everything was awesome, the interface, the camera, the solid feel of the build, basically everything was good.

until i learnt that the phone has a malfunctioned sd card built into it. it kinda turned me off for a bit, but i thought what the hell, i was going to upgrade the sd card's capacity regardless of the fact that it is broken or not.

so i went out to buy a set of smartphone opening tools ( pentalobe screws, pryer, suction cup) that is saw on youtube. and a brand new 32gig sd card which was perfect.

i prepared everything, from tools and materials that i need up to the method in how to open it appropriately. and i thought everything was going to be fine, and it turns out i have never been so wrong.

i did everything just as the guy in youtube vid did. but instead of getting the phone to open elegantly, all i did was breaking the lcd & digitizer of the phone. which leads me into a state of confusion which i am experiencing right this very moment.

my question is:

WHERE CAN I GET A REPLACEMENT FOR MY LCD SCREEN? :crying:

i've googled everywhere,

i even stumbled upon some guys asking the same thing in this forum in which the thread starter "manuxo" have replied stating that the spareparts can be found in "thecheapcoice.com"

and ive tried to contact them a couple of times only to find that they dont have any interest in replying my cry for help.

so guys, please help a guy out here.. how can i get spare parts for this phone?

i've thought about getting a screen set for my phone with the one from the original iphone 5 instead, but i found that it would actually be more expensive than the money i spent buying my phone in brand new condition. and it doesnt even guarantee that the apple original replacement would even fit my phone..

so once again guys, please help me :crying::crying:
