GooApple V.5 (updates)

There’s a whole new thread on xda-developers regarding the best rom available for the chinese clone. I’ve been really busy contributing anyway I can; there are great people too involved like anexonel from http://www.anexonel.tk/ who add critical mass to this phone so that it fulfills what purpose it was made for (well, sorta&hellipWinking.

There’s also a new variation called GooApple 3G available here that supposed to give the extra oomph needed when on a cellular network. Price is the same so you don’t really have a choice whether to choose 3G or not 3G. I’m sticking to my WCDMA one anyways, since I got used to it and I rarely use cellular data.

MAME 0.145

There’s a great chance you know it since Feb.5 but, another post never harmed anyone. So, a brand new official release of MAME is out totaling 10539 games!!! I’m about to see what’s new right after the break and I suggest you do exactly the same too. Click here for the binary update (command line) or you can get the UI version instead. On the later link you can try IV/Play front-end. I find it great.

GooApple V.5

Hello there. I wish you a nice 2012 and hope you got what you wished for on vacation time. I did get a present from Santa this year. It’s called GooApple V.5 and it’s basically a clone of Apple iPhone 4 (almost same specs, but android based).

I got it from www.android-sale.com and I recommend the guys. They’re pretty straightforward and they have perfect communication.

After I got it into my hands, I’ve figured out that it was nothing like my previously owned Dell Streak. GPS was not functional, location services sucked, wifi was very faint etc.

After a couple of google searches I’ve managed to find several teams on the web with the most significant being (for the certain phone) over here @ xda developers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1389930
It’s a long reading if you have the time - but if you own the device you’ll find every piece of information there a great gift.

So after a lot of searching and reading, I’ve managed to build a custom rom which you can find here:

I guess if you have the phone, you’ll find this post useful, so; enjoy!

Merry Christmas!

If you haven’t heard, there’s a great gift for you lucky owners of iphone/ipads/whatever out there. Appstore has posted (for free) iMAME which is what you just guessed. If you need info on how to add roms to your iDevice here’s how:
