[Q] z5+ iPhone clone to native Android 4.2 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Recently purchased the following iPhone clone:
z5_4.0_Android_4.2_MTK6577_Cortex_A9_Dual_Core_1.2GHz_Smartphone_Android
It runs iPhone launcher which uses "iPhone like" settings.
The problem is that the available languages are limited and even if I download keyboard pack it doesn't show it in the options.
Other keyboards like emoji present only english (emoticon leaves a blank).
I'm ready to lose the iPhone GUI.
How can I revert it back to Android 4.2 native GUI, without loosing USB, Wi-Fi, GPS or any other available functionality?
I went through the posts but couldn't find a match - if there is one, please point me to it.
Thanks,
JL.

Any update?

[Q] iOS Emoji Keyboard

Hello everyone, I am new to the xda-developers forums. I currently have an iPhone and I will be switching over to the Galaxy S5 come Saturday. The only thing I will miss about my iPhone is the emojis. I know Samsung has made their own emoji keyboard with a recent update. I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction to getting the iOS emoji keyboard for the Galaxy S5 (where emojis will show up every where and not the android ones)? Hopefully it will be the route where I will not have to root my phone.
Thanks everyone
maybe is not possible

If you don't want to root or flash a custom recovery the only solution I see would be to use an alternative keyboard which has iOS emojis.
This would be perfect for what you want: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2618523
But you need to root your device !
Cheers
This app has Apple emoticones support: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-stock-messaging-sliding-ui-extra-t2825144

Whats a flash custom recovery? And if i were to use the alternative of finding a keyboard with iOS emojis, will those emojies appear as they do in the keyboard when I use them lets say in the notepad app or something? Or will the android ones appear once typed? Sorry, I'm a noob when it comes to androids.

How easy is it to root my phone? Is it like a one click thing with a program like a jailbreak?

First off, try the above app and see if it fits your needs. No root/custom recovery needed.
Can someone link me to an AT&T s5 root thread? My iPhone is so slow and it's taking forever to search

By default android only supports google or other android makers emojis like samsung, htc etc so it cannot "see" BB ones and only a select few ios ones.
Change to a messaging app that supports other emojis eg I use gosms pro (even though its free) as it supports something like over 800 emojis (including displaying ios ones)

Hi kin kwan.
Flashed your ROM thanks, testing now.
Wow your ROM is a quarter of the size of the BTU official ROM, yours 1.19Gb BTU 4.052 Gb! connects to my S6 Edge via bluetoothOK, seems twice as fast than original ROM. All my apps and watch faces I paid for transfer to gear great!
1-Could you fix news briefing page as its a chinese web page and not in English?
2-Select keyboard only shows Chinese IME, could you add English?
3-Could you enable delete of stored Chinese contacts that are loaded?
4-How do i transfer contacts from my S6 Edge to gear s?
Keep up the good work.

1-The news is based on the ROM package, I use the Chinese package, so it will be chinese.
2-Input method and language can change ah. After you change the English, the following is not a keyboard settings, in the choice of.
3-
4-Connect to use Samsung gear.
Connections can be synchronized with your contacts, and may also change the language of the news briefing.
Hi kin kwan.
Thanks again for your ROM and help, I have re flashed original stock ROM due to a few hicuups with chinese language (when creating SMS), and when I paired with my S6 Edge plus and getting weather updates when the gear was a standalone again.
Keep up the great work..

Hi kin kwan.
Could you add some sort of tethering for future updates? so I could use a SIM in the gear s to throw data to a tablet or PC etc.
Thanks.

IMHO, I think it's a bad idea. The battery is only 300mAh..you're going to kill the battery in less than 4 hours, I wager.
你好!刷了机是不是在gear s手表那升级呢?

刷机 = "flash", 不是 "brush"

我只会中文,所以英语是翻译器翻译的。只打中文的话 肯定不会错
I will only Chinese, so English is the translator to translate. Only the words of the Chinese will certainly not be wrong

The AccuWeather widget does not work on older Samsung phones.

Hi, at the beginning I want to point out that this is my first thread, so if I did something wrong I apologize. I also want to apologize for my English.
Recently, on many old Samsung phones, the AccuWeather weather widget stopped working for me. First, I noticed the problem on the Galaxy A5 2015 with Android 5.0.2 Lollipop. When I wanted to enter the city into the weather, it did not find my town, and after entering larger ones it was, but after selecting them suddenly disappeared, I tried to use the map, it showed me several large European cities there, but after selecting any it wrote that the service is now unavailable. I decided it was a temporary failure, so I ignored it. Some time later I managed to fix my Galaxy Note3 with Android 5.0 Lollipop, so there I wanted to introduce the weather, but the effect was the same. A month later I reset my Galaxy S4 with Android 4.4.2 KitKat, the effect when trying to enter the weather city the same, 2 days later I got a Galaxy S2 with Android 4.1.2 JellyBean, the effect exactly the same. I remembered that on my second S4, but with Android 4.3 JellyBean, I have the weather introduced, so I charged it to check it, the weather was there, but it showed the state of March 26, 2023, after trying to refresh itself refreshed the moment, but finally there was the same effect, when trying to add another city, the same effect as on the phones mentioned earlier. Maybe someone knows what the problem is? If AccuWeather doesn't work, maybe there's another widget that looks like the original one? Please help.
Accuweather requires Android 6.0 or newer. So that's why it doesn't work on Android 5.0 anymore.
Ehhhh, can I use a custom app to use this feature? I want it to look like the original. By the way, I will add that on my Xperia Z2 with 5.0.2 works AccuWeather.

If that works on Z2 then maybe it's older version. I just look out playstore that newer versions requires Android 6.0+
And it is possible to somehow make it work, for example, a custom widget, but to look like the original or something like that?

Watched the same behavior...
AFAIK no custom widget will work since the app itself is the one to blame.
Accuweather v5.8.6 was the latest version to support Android 4.1+.
Search the web and install it. It works. The widgets are slightly different though.
