So here is the thing,
I have two Goophone's I5 ( Yes the one and only and best original copy of the Iphone 5 ) and have it up and running.
Since I wasn't allowed to post a full review of this phone in the market place I will add it here and with some questions.
So the review.
First I kick off with the negatives.
1: GPS - Have issues with it.
2:Light to make a photo in dark is poor.
3: Not all languages are available as advertised! English is in it tho so no worries.
4: Crappy Chinese apps, this Phone need to be rooted but no root kit available on the net so these crappy chinese apps spoil the fun.
5: The earplug that came with it went within one minute into the trash.
The positives:
Looks identicy to the Iphone 5
5x cheaper.
Works fast, no problems.
I like the quality of the display.
installing apk files are easy.
I like it that they have USB 2 on the bottom and not the new Iphone 5 cable.
Love it that it runs on Android 4*
Overall rating: Good. I think it would have much more sales if they would have made two different versions. one for Chinese, and one for Europe and US without the crappy Chinese what we can't read anyway. Is it worth the money? I think yes. Have to figure out the GPS thing or I can send it back and get a new one. I bought it from China and took about 30 days for delivery.
I have ordered it from a user at DHGate. Check for user "efit" as he's a reliable seller there if you need anything chinese.
So far the fast review. If you want a full review then let the admins me post normally and I fix a youtube video.
The question for here....
How on earth can I root this Goophone I5 and remove all the crappy chinese apps?
This is not the original

Friend unfortunately you bought a fake goophone I5. There is an add on offical goophone.com website they are saying that the phone is in pre-order and will be released on Januray 15.
Install untutu benchmark in this phone and check if it's real MTK 6577. Some clones are using MKT6575.
If it's MKT 6577 this can be help you to root it.

Yeh I will make one today in HD 1080.
And now that I know there are others as well, I am thinking of to order the quad-core version to.
By the way, why I like my phone so much is because of this. My old phone before this was a Nokie 3110. LOLhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon11.gif

i have the same phone
mt6577
1gb ram
1gb rom
16gb internal sd
2gb external sd
android 4.1.5
my question is how can we open the phone to replace the 2gb external sd
i managed to root it with unlockroot without problems. then i ported a twrp recovery.
i downloaded a dual system software in the chinese boards but its not sinking into my brains yet.
maybe the dual system is for us to install a normal ics or jb alongside with the memory hungry ios styled rom

it doesnt have chinese apps when i bought it even has the official playstore. only chinese app i saw is the pinyin keyboard. its easy to root.just connect the phone powered up. usb debugging enabled and let windows install all drivers. then start unlockroot wait till it finishes then its rooted.
after rooting you can try to use this TWRP recovery that i've ported. install mobileuncle from market then placed the recovery image in the root of sd then flash it.

This video shows how to replace internal sd card on thunderbird I5 lite. Maybe this could works on your phone.
www(dot)youtube(dot)com/watch?v=zzN_sNvrBdc
I think that is an error on description phone that you bought, because this phone doesn't have external sd card.
Please send us the link of the seller that you bought your phone.

What I'm wondering is who made it for them because I highly doubt they developed it on there own. Their web site says android 4.1 which is correct unless you buy it from dicks sporting goods they exclusively have (for now) the 4.4 version. I would really like to know how easy it would be to root this thing. I do a lot of hunting and it would be a great tool to have in the woods considering that it has the decoding software for the trail cameras android devices unfortunately cant do it on there own I've tried with my Rooted Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II SCH-i605 and my old Rooted Samsung Stratosphere SCH-i405.
Please help with root ideas/info
Ive tried towelroot with no success and not finding any root build anywhere online. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm not a developer, so taking on the root programming on my own would be beyond me... Attached screengrab of kernel and build info.
Thx
Successful root
Hope this isn't too late of news for ya,
I successfully rooted my VU100 on 4.4.2 using Kingo Root. I tried using Root Genius but it got stuck on 64%. I stopped Root Genius in the middle of the root and restarted my tablet with no ill effects. Then I started Kingo Root and it succeeded no problem. I just followed the directions at http(colon)//devs-lab(dot)com/2015/06/root-any-android-device-in-single-click(dot)html
I also emailed Wildgame Innovations to see if they were able to give out any info as into different OS updates, so I'm still waiting to hear about that.
Hope this info is valuable to you,
Blake
EDIT:
I was playing around trying to figure out how to create a backup of the ROM and ended up having to redo the Kingo Root and this time instead of showing "VU100" as the device, it showed "86V_HD". I did a google search and found this.. http(colon)//www(dot)androiddevice(dot)info/submission/25358/show .
It seems to follow along with everything about the device and it looks like a guy by the name of Peter Guo made the custom ROM for WGI Innovations, atleast that is what I am gathering....
bootloop
Now my tablet is in a boot loop because I changed some things in build.prop and there is no CWM recovery for this tablet. Be careful if you decide to root your tablet.

Hello sorry if this out of line or off topic, novice here.
Can someone tell me how to have my podkicker storage moved and future downloads moved to my sd card. Got as far as storage options in app settings it states not recommended dont know what to do then which folders to click on do input, not seeing keyboatd
I'm looking if I should upgrade my current tv stick or not.
I have a 3 year old MK809 II, dual core, 1 Gb RAM, USB 2.0, Android 4.2.2.
H264 1080p movies work perfectly, 99% almost any video/audio format/codec.
I use MX Player Pro 1.7.28 with ARMv7 NEON codec.
I also use it for some Youtube, but I'm not sure whay is the maximum resolution: 720p or 1080p.
Youtube video play is OK, no stuttering at all. But general youtube search, web browser, any other operations - very laggy.
I have Fly Mouse Air Mouse RC11, works perfectly, it's a keeper.
I have a smart TV Samsung 46" 1080p. I will NOT get 4K TV any time soon.
Problems with current stick:
* small 32 Gb micro SD card. I cannot bauy another card, because I have 3 USB 3.0 64 Gb flash stick.
They do not work with the Air Mouse, already tried 2 different USB hubs.
* file copy speed too low - wifi, android FTP server.
I have tried several FTP servers/clients, 2 different routers - nothing helped.
* no H265 decoding. It looks like that's the future.
* old unit, old android, old interface....
Reasons to upgrade:
* USB 3.0 + [gigabit] Ethernet.
* H265 decoding
* 2 Gb RAM, Anndroid 6 / Windows 10
* faster operations
Max budget: $70 - $80 - buy from chinese website with EU warehouse or something like amazon.co.uk
My findings so far:
KM8 Amlogic S905X -USB 2.0 only - $60 - http://eud.dx.com/product/km8-amlogic-s905x-android-6-0-tv-box-w-2gb-ram-16gb-rom-eu-plug-844445639

Beelink Z83 -Intel Atom X5-Z8300 + Windows 10 - has pretty much everything - $83 - http://www.gearbest.com/tv-box-mini-pc/pp_343637.html?wid=3
Anything with Amlogic S912 SoC - around $60 - $80 - USB 2.0 only - http://www.geekbuying.com/category/...thernet-Port-S912-c-1014v1046-v-3708v359.html
So, should I upgrade and what SoC should I choose ?
Is this a best buy for me?
