Hello everybody,
I've gotten my hand on the Goophone I5.. one of lucky 200 first to get this phone.
The hardware is surprisingly great but the software is just... terrible. I really hope someone can help me out on this.
*This phone came in pre-rooted*
# PROBLEM NUMBER 01
1) Their china-iphone 5 launcher is so damn laggy
2) Hence I downloaded ilauncher (downloaded the apk because.. #problem 2)
3) But the problem is, i can't seem to change the default launcher to ilauncher because these china dudes actually mapped the home button to their self-made launcher -_- So even if you download golauncher etc and you press the home button, it does not allow you to change the launcher at all?!
4) The only way i manage to get into ilauncher is via easy touch.
I tried uninstalling their default launcher and guess what. The menu button now does not work at all. Unbelievable. I remember reading up on how it is possible to change configuration of the home button but i'm not too sure on how to do so. If someone could enlighten me, i would really be grateful.
# PROBLEM NUMBER 02
1) Their google play store just simply doesn't work. I've tried installing all the google services applications, changing the permission setting of vending.apk to rw-r--r-- and whenever google market successfully connects to google server it simply just force closed (Google Play has stopped responding).
2) I've tried market enabler but it doesnt seem to help at all.
Anybody has a clue?

Hey how you going. Ok I got the Zophone i5 yesterday and I was having the same problem as you regards to problem number to. mine seem to work by naming the market file to vending.apk and setting the permission. Another thing you can try is this.
(sorry I cant post the link but go on youtube and search Thunderbird i5 LTE - How to install the android market (play store)!
I know he does not have the real goophone but it might work.
good luck
Try this
i havnt gotten my hands on one yet but if you can root it you could download a button remapper and have the home button actually set to home or i think you can set it to open up apps so in your case the launcher
Good luck!
Goophone I5 Lite
Hi all,
You don't need to root the phone or try to.
The goophone i5 comes rooted from factory.
To access the clockworkmod just turn off phone
Power Button + Volume Down [-]
And that's it!
If your phone get bricked on the boot logo you just need to press the tiny button between the camera and flash.
To change the boot logo into the apple logo, please follow the steps:
Get a Root Explorer (I recommend ES File Manager)
Navigate to System/Media/ and you will notice that there is 4 files named Bootanimation.zip, Shutdownanimation.zip and bootanimationIphone.zip and shutdownanimationIphone.zip.
Just rename the rename the original ones to bootanimationgp.zip and shutdownanimation.zip and delete the word iphone from the other ones. This way you will get the Original Apple boot animations.
To remap the home button please go to system/usr/keylayout/ and open the file named mkt-kpd.kl as text, scroll down to the key 102 and just rename the Home to Back, save the file, reboot phone and that's it.
Notice that you'll lose the double tap to go the the task manager, lock screen orientation , etc.
To remove all the chinese apps just go to system/apps/ and delete whatever you want. Do not delete system files, otherwise your phone will not work properly.
To install google software, just get the G_Apps from google for ICS version, or copy them from an existing rom running the ICS 4.0.x. Copy all the files into system/app/, reboot the phone and that's it.
After reboot you will see that you'll have all the google apps, but it will be shown an error com.google.process.gapps stoped. I haven't solved this yet. i can add an google account, all the apps like gmail, gtalk, google +, messenger works but google play don't! It opens, you can search for apps but when you try do download them it crashes giving and error 906.
I'm using aptdoide for now..until i get this solved.
I hope this information help you out solving some of the goophone software issues.
Don't forget to press thanks button is this information is usefull for you.
Regards.

Hi guys
I hope can help me. I have the zophone i5 and it will not let me get into recovery mode. I can get into the screen where it says recovery mode with the apply logo and it gets stuck and thats it.
Another issue was I thought it might have been the phone so I reset it via factory mode but it is the same and I have lost the apple unlock screen and the slide to power off. I have tried to find what add they were using on my phone but cant seem to find it, does anyone know what its called?
Also for your issue of google play issue you might want to try this
(sorry I cant post the link but go on youtube and search Thunderbird i5 LTE - How to install the android market (play store)!
hope that helps
Thanks

Hello XDA experts,
Is there any way to control from outside an Android which screen has become nuts ?
I have a chinesse phone ( and MTK 6573) which touch screen has become nuts (most of it has become unresponsive and often a continuos touch imput is detected in the center-left side of the screen). So, it has become useless...
The thing is, I would like to access to it, in any way, to recover some of the data I have on it. Also, becouse I try to disasemble, volumen key seem not working
How could I connect to it ?
I tought of the mimobiler, but I need to enable it trought touch and hadn't been able
I tought backing up and restoring in another mobile (an MTK6577), but volumen key not working for ColckWorkRecovery
it connects properly trough usb, but no idea how to use adb, neither where to start if that is the solution
the ideal, would be to control it from mouse or similar, in a way that does not affect the missfuncionality of the touch screen (should be disable I presume).
But anything that allows me to recover the saved phones (several got stored in mobile instead of google account), and a couple of apps data (a fianace data and a notes app) would be great
something like remote-titanium-backup ?

while playing with adb, I discovered Droid explorer, that once adb connected works Flawlessly !!
so, must of it it solved, still I want to make a backup of the phone
I can successfully connect to the phone trough ADB in recovery mode, but as soon as volume keys are not working, I can not navigate trough the menu to make the backup
is anything like :
adb send_keystroke volume_up ??
lots of learning in this forum, thanks once more
Hello,
So recently I got lack of internal memory(it is only 512MB though) and I tried to swap internal memory with microSD(marked as sdcard2). However, Im noob in this and after changing the lines I understood, that I changed sdcard with sdcard2(swapped sdcard and sdcard2), however, my android system seems to be not working now. I can boot and access settings, but thats all. No menu, no apps, no anything. Empty screen, only settings accessible. I cannot access any files or anything...
What I tried:
- Connecting phone to PC as I have Android Commander program which can browse system files from pc, unfortunately, failed to connect.
- Factory reset. Didnt help.
- Recovery mode - tried all options that are available, didnt work.
The phone is Prestigio Multiphone PAP4300 DUO. If there is any solution to that problem, please help. When I boot to the phone, I unlock it and I get many messages saying com.android.phone, system and such things stopped working. When pressing HOME button, it goes to home, but its empty(empty screen) and tells Launcher stopped working too. All I can do is access the settings. Cant call anyone though.
Please, give me a solution or tell me what to say to warranty service when I will bring the phone to them. Can they recognize that its rooted/that the vold.fstab file is modified?
Specs:
pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=4249&c=prestigio_multiphone_pap4300_duo
theunlockr.com/2013/07/29/prestigio-multiphone-pap4300-duo-specs/
That looks to be white, but mine is black.
I rooted it only. Havent done any changes to the phone until yesterday - swap the memories.
Thanks in advice,
Patrick

Hard way to learn the lesson that it's a bad idea to make changes to the system without having a custom recovery and a nandroid backup, hmm? Depending on how comfortable you are with using adb commands and if your tablet has r/w access, you could mount the system, pull the vold.fstab, undo the changes, push back, and set permissions. Can be a hassle though. Did you make a backup of the original file? But probably better served either reloading the stock OS with SP Flash Tools or see if there is a custom recovery / rom to flash for your device.

Hello, thanks for the help. I brought the phone to warranty service, they fixed it after first day.
Rarely my note 3 will reset itself into Safe mode, with out prompt or button pressing. After a reset the file folders in my apps box will then become empty and the Apps I have in my phone will be out of their designated files. Does anyone know how to prevent this? Does anyone know how to fix this?
(Im new to XDA and initially posted this in the wrong place and do not know how to delete the last one. If admin deletes one because of multi posting, please keep this one up) my phone is infected with a virus that has imbedded itself in my system settings, any anti malware apps used do not detect it. when plugging my phone into my computer (for developer access) it began to install the device driver. once the "device driver" installed it took all administrative use away from me and locked all drives. I do not have ABD access or any computer access at this point. this phone has killed 3 laptops and a desktop. the only way ive been able to partially stop the virus is using a firewall to block it. since my phone is NOT rooted I cannot delete system files containing the virus. I noticed the virus will edit apps and system functions to try and hide itself (Google play services) for example. someone is using a form of remote access to control things and change settings. it is possible that someone (close family or friend) may have gotten their hands on it to install the virus. factory reset does nothing as the virus is stored in system settings. phone cannot be hooked to Pc without severe repercussions. I cannot gain root access through any rooting apps for some reason. only tried to access system settings. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING.

First of all, you should disable autostart on your laptop/PC ( on Windows 10 press [WINDOWS] + "Setup"). There you can config autostart/actions for sd-card, mobile memory and your phone (scroll down on this page). No auto play or sync (fotos/media) for ALL devices is recommend. Don't log in your PC as admin, use a non-admin-account for testing with your phone.
Take a fresh sd card, copy the virustotal scanner on it (take it from the attachment at that post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77053739&postcount=11), switch the sd-card to "read only" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgguVeKWCTw), put it in your phone, install the virustotal app from the sd-card, go online and let it run. So we figure (hopefull) out, which malware it is and where it is located. Write down the findings (name, location, how much scanner find it) and post it here...
Are you shure, that your ADB-SW/Drivers for the PC/Laptop are okay and clean? Plz post additional Infos about your phone...
I think, someone may have taken my phone, rooted it, and installed or is possibly using Samsung KNOX? If this were the case is there a way to break Knox without a PC? I don't want access to anything in it, just to destroy it. If this is part of the problem, just a quick theory and question I will get back to you with more information. Thank you

There are malware in the wild, which can root you phone (like "Dvmap"). In this case you only have one chance about the complete flashing of the device with a clean rom. This type of malware also infects system files, so it cannot be quarantined and removed. At the moment I don't understand why the computers you used for flashing don't work anymore. if the drivers / software are OK (do you have the right versions for windows7/8/10 and e.g. 32/64 Bit) this should not happen? Does this work with other smartphones? Normally the phone is switched off for flashing, so Android is not running. Also autostart should not work then.... that would be completely new behavior.....
