Hi there guys ,
I hope this finds you all in the best of your health.
Im trying to get that screen back where it gives you a list of little applications you want to install right after first boot of the phone after installing Android.
I accidentally fat fingered it and hit cancel and I think Im missing a lot of apps.
Specially the version of market is pretty old and I need that updated.
How do I do I get it back??
I installed MDJ's Cyanogen 7 2.3 Mod.
I tried to search for this issue but I couldnt find anything.
Any suggestions & help would be monumentally appreciated.

Goophone Y5 Android 4.1.5
Hi guys,
It's my first post here. I ordered a Goophone Y5 from androidforcheap last December 26th, and just received the unit last January 7. I went on to root it right away, trying to follow instructions I found on youtube. Once rooted, I tried to flash the phone with WhiteTiger's V3 ROM, but the Flash Tool always says Incorrect Scatter Format. Thinking that I could just copy and paste all apps, I went on and moved all apps from WhiteTiger's ROM to my Apps folder using ES File Explorer. To make the story short, this proved to be a wrong move as I think most apps were overwritten with WhiteTiger's ROM apps. As such, everytime I reboot the phone, Superuser, along with some other apps like igallery and world clock crash and do not work. I have to re-install all these crashed apps using ES File Explorer everytime. Running in to this trouble, that's the only time I though of running an Antutu test. This is also the only time that I find out that the phone was running on Android 4.1.5.
Anyway, basically, my question is, could there be a way to return the phone back to original settings and apps? I tried the reset option on the phone's General Settings, but it never got back to the state it was in when I first got it.
I hope you guys can help me so I would not have wasted money on this phone. I know it was also a wrong move to get too excited about installing apps without really researching first.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edit:
Has anyone bought a Goophone Y5 between December 2012 to January 2013? Does your version have Android 4.1.5? Could you please send me stock apps for this? Thanks!
I got googleplay working
Hi!
There is a way to get playstore working.
To get this working you will need some files to be replaced with the ones that are present on the phone.
First you will need to root your phone! There is a post on XDA giving instructions how to update the phone with the last firmware:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1729056
After you flash the phone with the last firmware it will be already rooted.
To get the Playstore working you will need to copy some apk's to /system/apps/.
To copy this files into the folder you will need a file explorer (ES File Manager) for example.
Some of the apk's are:
Vending.apk
Googlesync.apk
and some more.
I've a goophone y5 bought on thecheapchoice.com. They have good prices and a very good service.
My goophone didn't have PlayStore and some apps were in chinese. I've edited some apk's and i got everything working.
I recommend this phone to everyone who wants an iphone styled phone running android software.
It is a fast phone with a good camera, the gps works well as the wifi. The retina screen got me amazed by its quality. This is not a cheap clone as we see in other places. It is very well made and have exactly the same structure, screen and battery as the iphone 4s. They are so equal that you can replace goophone parts with an original iphone 4s.
I'll try to upload all the files you need into this post today.
Regards,

goophone of me use os 2.3.6. all you can help me send rom new to me
Hello, i know it's not great one of my 1° post be a cry for help, but i'm having way more trouble then i should with my father's PD20
well... lets me start, i was trying to root the tablet because... because i wanted, wen i was using Z4root (the last one) my tablet just reset after some little time, wen he boot again i notice the all my apps are gone and the tablet was on Chinese (or Korean) i tried save some new apps on the internal memory and the system just said the my tabled was full ( but wasnt).
I did a quick search on this forum and diagnosed as a rom problem, nothing rly serious if wasn't for the fact its almost impossible (at least for me) find the original room.
another search on the forum and i saw some people with a similar problem but different tablet model, they solve their problems installing a rom from a similar model. I tried several generic/similar roms and kinda worked, some of they are way to slow, another ones had some problems with the touch, but on my 14-16 attempt i installed this rom "MaPan_MX713_Android_4.0.4os_Firmware_20121028J" for MAPAN MX713 and the system worked a little bit slow and with a huge discrepancy on the touchscreen, but my problem was for some reason that uso modified my boot system not allowing anymore the backup mode, just that screen who has no options and that kinda broke my legs
i guess i will need a clockwork for one MAPAN MX713 to be able to keep trying find the rom but im almost lost, any help will be appreciated
if i buy another one (same model) can i recovery this one ??
Bumb/Update
I menage to install adb tolls and tried a couble recovery.img from clockworkMoD, no luck fom me
if anyone knows who i could install a decent Recovery mode i will be gratefull
if i buy another one (same model) can i recovery this one ?
Hi There
I have recently purchased a Thunderbird i5S Golden. According to the supplier website it is the following spec;
MTK6572 Dual Core CPU 1.3Ghz*2
1GB RAM, 8GB Rom
4.2.2 OS with IOS7 Theme Pack (Loader, icons etc)
I had a couple of issues when I received it, base language installed as Chinese, although I could select UK English, the base language stayed as Chinese.
Google PlayStore wasn't installed from factory (had about 3 versions of the Chinese app markets) Had MAJOR issues trying to get this working. Well to be honest, it has never worked. GPS also doesn't seem to work.
Anyway, rooted the phone using the one button root method, cant remember the software but was pretty simple
After farting around for another couple of hours, removing some of the Chinese bloatware, found that I still couldn't use the phone as I wished (still in Chinese, still with crap app markets etc) Google Play installed but would never download anything (would say it was installing but never would)
After using rootexplorer, I found the SYSTEMfolder called APP_UK. This contained all of the UK app's and Keyboard layouts etc. Doing without thinking I renamed the old APP folder and replaced with the APP_UK, but this doesn't contain ANY of the startup procedures, files etc,
Phone now stuck on the boot screen, can get into the Chinese factory mode and factory reset but it doesn't help, it comes up with a green android man with his chest open and a red exclaimation mark (my guess is that it cant find any of the boot up files) Can also load up a menu (although upside down) which advises :> Normal Boot :> Fast Boot or :>Recovery (Tried all three)
So to the questions:
Firstly does anyone have any ideas on how I can get onto the phone drive without it booting correctly (using COM ports or something). Ive tried using various software to get onto the phone but without it booting it cannot find the drives. (Using Win7 x64) Various drivers etc.
Secondly: Can anyone suggest an ios7 ROM for the MTK6572 in UK English, Rooted, with Google Play Store.
Tried contacting the suppliers but they are about as useful as a chocolate teapot. Ive requested a UK ROM from them so will see if they do come back with anything.
Any help greatly appreciated. Im new to the android flash and root world so be gentle
Thanks
Jamie

hi there
i need also some help with mt6572 (thunderbird i5s) !!!!!
Hi guys,
I bought a cheap tablet, It worked fine until i got an update to lollipop, it slowed the device down horribly and it can't multitask at all anymore. Even opening a new tab in google chrome is terrible laggy and slow.
I managed to get the tablet rooted with kingroot, the programs that came with it to clean and speed up the device work great, but the tablet still not works optimal.
When i tried to install the old rom from the asus website in recovery it sayd it cant find the root destination folder or something like that. And rom manager says there is a more recent version of cwm but when i want to install it it says my tablet is not supported. So how can i go back to the kitkat version of the rom? Am i doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance for your help!
up
anyone?
no one?
