So I was messing around with some of the system files, just trying to learn more about everything and I decided to do a wipe to put everything back to where it was and after I wiped, it gave me an error message at bootup saying that the gapps process had to be closed. I went through the regular sign in and when I got to the main screen, the screen was black. I get the top bar but nothing else.
So I tried reinstalling JFRC33 Lite. Same thing. So I tried installing JFRC33 regular. Now I cant even get by the blinking android. I dont know what the heck is going on but I know all is not lost because I can still et to the bootloader. Can anyone help me out?
Thanks.
try putting one of the updates on your SD card and naming update.zip, and then access the phone via adb shell(if you can) if you can see it with adb devices then type "adb shell wipe all" it will COMPLETELY wipe your phone and allow you to reinstall your update, you cshould be good as root after that, if not then try a .nbh file

Thanks bro! I had no idea you could wipe through the pc.
one of the many things i found when i was trying to control the phone with my computer. i have a script that when i run it on my comp it auto starts tetherbot and hits the up key on the trackball then hits enter to start the proxy, then does the adb forward tcp command and then starts firefox with all the correct settings. i also found a very complicated way to send texts with my phone using my comp keyboard and adb

Oh? Please share. I'm very interested in ways to control the phone from the pc.
Thanks
for the time being it is not an exact science, you need a key map(one found in my thread about the computer app to control phone) and you need to know a few commands. basically to get the phone to think you pressed a button you need to have the computer send the command: adb shell keyevent ## where ## is the number that corresponds to the key you want it to press on the phone. keys are labled 0-85 but i still have yet to figure out what 0 does and a few of the keys don't work perfectly yet but that's being worked on.
secxond you need the command "adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n (*********/*********)" where the *******/******* equals the program you want to start. for Steel you would type:
adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.kolbysoft.steel/com.kolbysoft.steel.Steel
that will bring up steel to your home page, after that you can type adn shell input (keyevent|text) if you do text the phone only reads one word, not sure why but i am trying to fix that as well, and if you do keyevent then you need to know what number corresponds to the key you want pressed
here is an example of a script that will start tetherbot, start the socks service, and do the tcp forwarding action
#!/bin/bash
adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n graha.ms.tunnel/graha.ms.tunnel.TunnelConfig ##start new instance of tetherbot or bring current one to front
adb shell input keyevent 19 ###press up
adb shell input keyevent 66 ###press enter
sleep 3
adb forward tcp:1080 tcp:1080
all the commands i have found so far i got by running adb shell logcat and reading the output as i click on different applications. if you need some help with this then i would be more than happy to help, just make sure to let me know what program you are trying to run(if it's a paid app then you will need to run logcat and attach the output after running the app) if it's a free app i'll just install it and let you know how to start the app, then you can write scripts to get your phone to do certain things. i already have a script that wipes my phone, reapplys apps to SD and resets my settings, it's kinda messy but it works
IMPORTANT INFO
First I gotta give a shoutout to KellyLewis3985 because he's helped so much with modding the script to need less work for install, run faster, and have more programs work.
NEEDED!
Must Be ROOTED
1. Busybox (Preferrably the most updated version).
2. Superuser.
3. Android SDK (With knowledge on how to use it).
4. AndroidVNC (Search exactly that in the market. It will say "Android VNC Viewer").
5. Terminal Emulator (Also available in the market).
6. Patience when working with this.
UPDATE!!
Thanks to the persistance of urboy4mbx, we now know a little more information to get it working. While both KellyLewis3985 and myself were running custom ROMS, we didn't think about testing it for the stock build. So due to urboy4mbx's will to get this installed, we now know you MUST have a custom ROM installed. There's probably ways to get it to work on the stock build, but it's going to take a little more work. For now, make sure you have a custom ROM, download, and install the files, and if we got our scripts right, it should boot right up for you.
DOWNLOAD FILE!
NOTE: When you download this zip, you will need to extract it, and inside the extracted folder will be the folder "sdcard", DO NOT!! Place this entire folder in your "ubuntu" folder, simply open it and copy all the files from it to your "ubuntu" folder on your sd card.
Download File...
Ubuntu: Epic Edition v1.2 <---These are the files you will need to run Ubuntu. It will come with "bootlinux", "fsrw", "mountonly", "ubuntu.img", "ubuntu.sh", and "unionfs".
INSTRUCTIONS!
Options For Transferring Files To Phone
First Option...
Your first option of course is the easiest. Simply connect your phone to the computer, and mount your sd card. Once on the sd card, you are going to create a new folder labeled "ubuntu". Open this folder and transfer all the files from the downloaded zip file into this folder. After you have transferred the files to your "ubuntu" folder on the sd card, unmount the sd card, but leave the phone plugged in.
Second Option...
Your second option is "adb push". Here is the command for "adb push" if you cant, or don't feel like mounting your sd card.
First you need to create your destination folder. Do so with this set of commands.
cd C:/sdk/tools (Of course you might have your sdk folder in a different location, just cd to that location)
adb shell
su
cd /sdcard/
mkdir ubuntu
exit
Now you should be back at "C:/sdk/tools", or wherever you have your sdk folder located. Next, you push the files to your folder. In order to push the files, you first need to open the zip folder, and copy all the files into your tools subfolder in the sdk folder. Then push the files with this set of commands.
adb push bootlinux /sdcard/ubuntu
adb push fsrw /sdcard/ubuntu
adb push mountonly /sdcard/ubuntu
adb push ubuntu.sh /sdcard/ubuntu
adb push unionfs /sdcard/ubuntu
adb push ubuntu.img /sdcard/ubuntu
The "ubuntu.img" file may take a little longer, as it is the largest file that needs to be transferred.
NOTE: You cannot have your sd card mounted to use adb. You must be unmounted.
INSTALLATION
1. Ok, first thing you have to do is make sure you're still cd'd to "C:/sdk/tools". Now you need to type "adb shell". You will then most likely be prompted with the symbol "$". To continue, type "su" and the symbol should then change to a "#". NOTE!!!! After adb shell, YOU MUST TYPE "su", or the program will not boot!!!
2. Next you are going to cd into the Ubuntu folder on your sd card. (cd /sdcard/ubuntu) Once in, you're going to type the command "sh ./ubuntu.sh".
After that runs through, the next thing you're going to enter is "bootlinux". Once you get the prompt "[email protected]" you have successfully installed ubuntu on the Epic.
With this new update, there is no need to install any other files, as we have added them into the image file for you so it should do so automatically. If you have issues, let us know and we will try to fix it.
PREPARING YOUR VNC TO LOAD UBUNTU!
NOTE: There is no need to type this into your adb shell. This is for information purposes only, i've displayed the code and it's position at the bottom of this post along with screen shots to show you what it should look like.
With our new update, it's a lot easier to get everything up and running, but we don't have the capability of storing the vnc server to start every time we start up ubuntu, as it was causing issues. Until we get this issue fixed, you have to start the vnc server like this:
rm -rf /tmp/.X*
export USER=root
vncserver -geometry 1280x800 (Or whatever you would like your resolution to be. We have found this to be the nicest so far.)
Ok, at this point, everything should be set up to run.
NOTE: After the initial install of ubuntu on your phone, when you want to get it to start again, all you have to do is go into the terminal emulator, first type "su" to give it superuser permissions, then type "bootlinux", it will run through it's script and give you the "[email protected]" prompt. After you get that prompt, simply type the "rm -rf /tmp/.X*", "export USER=root", and "vncserver -geometry 1280x800" prompts and you can then start vnc again.
All the info you need for vnc will be as follows.
Nickname: "root"
Password: "ubuntu" (This is a set password, so it will be the same for everyone.)
Address: "localhost"
Port: "5901"
Change Log
Version 1.2
-Modified to make it ext4 compatible.
-Modified img to make it a little faster and more stable.
That's really all I had to do for this version, as it was working before.
Version 1.1
-Modified the scripts to run smoother, faster and use less memory while running.
-Added some custom wallpapers.
-Mozilla Firefox now works.
-Modified scripts to make Ubuntu more interactive.
-Modified the .img to install everything needed instead of you having to do it.
Issues
-Firefox randomly closes. Just reopen and restore.
-After using the vncserver Ubuntu doesn't truly shutdown without a reboot. Fix in progress.
-When wanting to start Ubuntu, after initial install, you have to go into the terminal emulator and type "su", then "bootlinux", allow that to complete giving you the "[email protected]" prompt. Then type "rm -rf /tmp/.X*", "export USER=root", and "vncserver -geometry 1280x800" to start the vnc server. After that you can go right into vnc and start Ubuntu up. We ARE currently working on a fix for this issue.
If you have any issues please post. Your input helps us make this better for you.
Here's a couple tricks we picked up.
1. You can use the arrow pad on your keyboard to direct the mouse.
2. If you long press on the screen and keep your finger on it, you can slide the mouse with your finger.
3. Long press on something, is a left click.
4. Double tap on something, is a right click.
5. To get symbols to appear, such as "-", you have to HOLD the function key while hitting the symbol.
And i'm sure there's more, but there's a couple for now.
After the installation and the first time you setup the vncserver. You have to use this command everytime to start the vncserver again.
rm -rf /tmp/.X*
export USER=root
vncserver -geometry 1280x800

New Scripts.
http://db.tt/lDjNNQn
Were working on a fix for this.
Here is the latest update. I dont know if its going to work for everyone. I suggest creating a folder inside the ubuntu folder to put the scripts you have in. Unzip this and replace the scripts in the ubuntu folder.
Please make a backup.
If you have any issues please post. Your input helps us make this better for you.
Yeah I'm on this as soon as I leave buffalo wild wings.

As Of Right Now, The Internet Is Having Issues On This One, But Kellylewis And I Have Already Scripted Another Version Of Ubuntu And It Is Internet Compatible . We're Running It Now To Get The Bugs Worked Out And Will Have It Up Soon. After That, You Can Try To Download Whatever You Want, Considering It's An OS, And See If It Works... I Have Not Tested Downloading Anything.
The New Ubuntu Will Come As A Update, So Install This One The Way I've Instructed, And The Update Will Simply Replace The Files. The New One Is Faster, Internet Compatible, And Nicer Looking All Together. This One Still Works, But Please Be Patient For The Update. Thanks Everyone.
No matter what I do Im stuck here...
Also, If You Change The Port And It Says "VNC Cannot Connect" Or Something Like That, Back Out To The Terminal Emulator, And Hit "Exit" And "bootubuntu" Again And Change The "localhost" Number Again. Whatever The "localhost" Number, Change The Port Number To Match. Ex: "localhost:4" > "5904", "localhost:7" "5907".

I get "VNC connection failed!" on any port.
TIA for any help! thanks.
First, Exit From The Terminal Emulator, And Open It Back Up. Type "su" Then "Bootubuntu" Without Any Other Commands. It Should Boot It Up Still And Then When You Get The Localhost Prompt, Type "Exit" And "Bootubuntu" Again. This Time It Should Come Up Localhost:2 ...As Long As You Copied My Code, It Should Have Put The VNC Server In The Boot File So When Ubuntu Was Booted Up, It Would Automatically Start The Server. Anyways, When You Get "localhost:2" Change Your Port To 5902. Do That And Let Me Know What Happens.

most excellent. hooks up without a glitch or a hangup or anything!
is lxde the only desktop you have used? would other replacement desktops work? im not saying lets throw gnome on there...but i wonder how it would run...takes a minute to get used to but runs like a champ!
so could this really the first step and getting the phone to fastboot into a ubuntu partition?

Just a noob question before I start... This only runs after you've booted it from the terminal emulator? As in your phone is still running all its original phone software (and by this I don't mean stock software, just phone software in general, custom or otherwise) and this is something you can boot on top of that? Maybe my terminology is wrong here, but that's at least how it appeared to work to me and I just wanted to check! Thanks!

yeah it pretty much runs as a virtual machine on top of android...i only tested it and everything but android is always running...it grabs data and internet from the phones 3g/4g connection.

Full Market on the Goo
ROOT;
I have purchased one of these and they are quite easy to get root using Visionary+ for temporary root option to push su and Busy Box, then use Z4root for permanent # works quote well and easy and
Checkout the rooting video here (http://www.youtube.com/user/mayiandjay) for an easier way just using z4root.
ADB OVER Wi-FI;
once you can get adb to recognise it (using terminal emulator on the phone
"setprop service.adb.tcp.port 5555"
then
"stop adbd"
"start adbd"
from there you can use your pc to run
"adb connect *insert IP address here*"
UPDATE: I found how to get ADB access over USB... I just insta;;ed the PdaNetA302.exe file from http://www.alcatel-mobilephones.com/global/content/view/full/25287
and then disconnected when advised to, reconnected when advised to, then BAM!!! working ADB..
I wish I had known about this a week ago...
From here you can have access to all supported adb commands including shell for # access, also for pushing and pulling files from the goo,
UOT KITCHEN; (Be careful dangerous)
I used the "ADB PULL" command to pull "/system/framework/framework-res.apk"
from the device, I then used the UOT Kitchen to modify it to my liking once I got the uot .zip file, I extracted the framework-res.apk file and used "adb push" to overwrite the one inside /system/framework/ dir.
(use a pc to push, not the phone explorer copy paste... Lol I bricked mine by using the file explorer, see the rest of the post for more info....)
RECOVERY MODE, DOWNLOAD MODE and BOOT ANIMATION;
some other usefull info is that you do not have to wait for the phone to run dead if you use the wrong key combo whilst booting ( trying to get into recovery hold home button whilst turning on then 5 seconds after "gooapple" appears let go of home and then press it again) you will get recovery console, where you can change the boot animation to the static apple or the gooapple animation, you can also do a factory reset or clear cache, from here you can also run an "update.zip" file but unfortunatly after i 1/2 bricked mine i stupidly did a factory reset and lost rw on /system (loosing bus box and su) (CRAP!!!) i was using the above mentioned method to use the "uot kitchen" to retheme the framework-res.apk file of the goo, and it was working fine when pushing the framework-res.apk to the phones /system/framework/ dir using a pc, but I got lazy and stupidly did a copy / paste using the phone to return to the original framework-res.apk (i know dumbass right) and then she rebooted to infinate bootlooping (F#@K!!!) I can now get into recovery mode and unfortunatly I cannot get my update.zip that pushes busybox and su etc to sign properly so that I can copy via update.zip the backed up version of framework-res.apk back to the now read only /system/framework dir.... (possible Brick anyone?)
SECRET (hidden) RESET BUTTON;
So... continuing on... to reboot the phone if it locks up and stops responding, you need either the original simtray pin or something like a multimeter probe and stick it down the headphone jack, down there there is a hard reset button, (get a torch and look for yourself if you don't believe me) hope this helps people...
DRIVERS;
Also I downloaded the qualcomm MSM drivers from 4shared and can now connect to the phone cos I noticed that if you boot the phone using the down volume key (i think) with the USB connected you can get nothing come up onscreen on the phone but the PC picks up a new device, the 4shared drivers worked but unfortunately that's where my knowledge stops...
FLASH TOOL;
I downloaded the flash (or google translated "brush") tool from mobileuncle but untill I find someone sharing the rom, or system.img it is usless to me...
UPGRADING EXT. STORAGE;
Something interesting for the rest of you is that the Gooapple 3g ( shows as A4-3G) and the preproduction iOrange Gt-6 (also shows as A4-3G) seem to look the same on the inside, I have both ( but liked the good ol F#@K you Apple, with the apple eating an android boot animation and apple in a android symbol on the back of the device ) I have opened both of them up (use a very small screwdriver on the screws between the speakers and 30pin dock connector on the base, remove these screws and slide the back plate up towards the power button (gentle no to break the retaining nuts on the back plate), from here you can undo the bit of tape and lift the battery up out of the way ( its soldered in so be careful, seeing as its always powered and easyier to short something out ) then next to where the battery sits you will see the back of a micro SD card (this is you external storage) if you get your nail and press on the back of it you will notice it is held by a spring retainer and will pop out a bit, from here press it in half way again with your nail and slip your nail off it, releasing the spring tension, flicking the micro sd card out into the casing (and hopefully not across the room)
you should now find either a 4GB, 8GB, 16GB or possibly a 32GB micro SD card came out depending on the model you chose, if you chose a 4GB or 8GB like i did you can replace it with an inexpensive 16GB Micro SD card put it back together and reboot, This is how I have tried copying my "update.zip" with Busybox and Su files (see above, that wont sign!!! GRRRR) the recovery console recognises the file but says signature authentication fail....
I could sign my "update.zip" for my framework-res.apk file but without Busybox or system RW it is useless.. it passes authentication but without rw on system it is useless....
GPS SERVER CHANGE;
Also, using faster fix off the market (need root) you can change the GPS server for better GPS performance.
BATTERY INFO;
Stamped on the Battery is
PL402874 1000mAh

Under the back cover there is a Version (mine is v2.3) and Serial number sticker

Check out mayiandjay on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/user/mayiandjay), he has done videos covering the stuff I am trying to explain, Thanks deepakpitrola333 for pointing this out
CREATING A EXTRACTED SYSTEM AS SYSTEM.IMG
for windows pc,
Go to http://db.tt/GAyvuDE (thanks Dastin1015) download and extract to your sdk/platform-tools folder
Rename mkfs.yaffs2.arm to mkfs.yaffs2 (delete the .arm extension)
open up command prompt (if you don't know how to do this in your current windows environment by now then just give up now)
change dir to the platform-tools dir in the sdk,
TYPE: adb push mkfs.yaffs2 /data/misc/mkfs.yaffs2
then pick up your shinny gooApple device;
open root explorer and navigate to mkfs.yaffs2 select and hold, change to have execute permissions
Back on the PC;
adb shell
su
# cd /data/misc
# ./mkfs.yaffs2 /system /sdcard/system.img
# exit
adb pull /sdcard/system.img ./system.img
I got a 176Mb system.img with "Build ok."
DUMP RECOVERY and BOOT IMAGES
you'll need dump_image from http://db.tt/9EANtEX (Thanks Dastin1015)
copy to your platform-tools folder in your androidsdk dir
do the same as above and push to /data/misc
then as before, change permissions of dump_image in root explorer to have execute. reboot device
Then you can run command prompt
go to your sdk platform-tools directory
run;
adb shell
cd data/misc
./dump_image boot /sdcard/boot.img
./dump_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
exit
adb pull /data/misc/boot.img ./boot.img
adb pull /data/misc/recovery.img ./recovery.img
ALTERNATE ROM DUMP METHOD (Thanks Dastin1015);
To do any flashing to the phone you must be rooted.
Rooting:
1) Download z4root and hit the permanent root option: http://db.tt/Bltsa73
2) Once rebooted you will have root.
Dump ROM:
~Prerequisite is that you have root~
{Non ADB method}
1) Download romdump and place it on the root of your SD card: http://db.tt/kXTaCDF
2) Download Terminal Emulator from the Market if you haven't already.
3) Open Terminal Emulator and issue these commands:
Code:
$ su
# cp /sdcard/romdump /system/bin
# chmod 747 /system/bin/romdump
# romdump
4) Now on your SD card under the romdump folder you will find you recovery.img, boot.img and system.tar. Backup these files to your computer for safe keeping.
{ADB method (Must have Android SDK installed)}
1) Open up command prompt and issue these commands:
Code:
C:\Users\Your_Name> cd ..
C:\Users> cd ..
2) Navigate to your installed Android SDK (Mine is under the Program Files (x86) folder):
Code:
C:\> cd Program Files (x86)
C:\Program Files (x86)> cd Android/android-sdk/platform-tools
3) Connect your device to your computer and make sure you have USB Debugging enabled on your phone.
4) Issue this command to verify that your computer recognizes your phone:
Code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools> adb devices
5) If you see your phones serial then it is connected.
6) Download romdump and place it in the platform-tools folder: http://db.tt/kXTaCDF
7) Issue these commands:
Code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools> adb push romdump /system/bin
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools> adb shell chmod 747 /system/bin/romdump
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools> adb shell
# romdump
you should get the following;
Android ROM dumper v0.82b

4) If you see a bunch of successful on your screen then it has flashed properly.
{ADB method}
1) Open up command prompt and issue these commands:
Code:
C:\Users\Your_Name> cd ..
C:\Users> cd ..
2) Navigate to your installed Android SDK (Mine is under the Program Files (x86) folder):
Code:
C:\> cd Program Files (x86)
C:\Program Files (x86)> cd Android/android-sdk/platform-tools
3) Connect your device to your computer and make sure you have USB Debugging enabled on your phone.
4) Issue this command to verify that your computer recognizes your phone:
Code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools> adb devices
5) If you see your phones serial then it is connected.
6) Download flash_image and place it in the platform-tools folder: http://db.tt/flHRxiG
7) Download the recovery.img and place it on the root of your SD card: http://db.tt/uy56zhj
8) Issue these commands in command prompt:
Code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools> adb push flash_image /system/bin
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools> adb shell chmod 747 /system/bin/flash_image
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools> adb shell
# flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
9) If you see a bunch of successful on your screen then it has flashed properly.
boot into recovery, hold home whilst powering on, after 5 long seconds, let go of home and then push home again, you will need to put the volume/menu-back toggle to "volume" mode and according to deepakpitrola333, you need to cycle the list 3 times using volume to allow selection.

ENABLE FULL MARKET ON THE GOO
Thanks to Smith, we can have the full google market on our Goos
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133702
IF I OR ANYONE ELSE EVER HELPS YOU, PLEASE CLICK THANKS... Its not that hard....
Done.
CHEERS!!! - KEG.
Thanks for info on the gooapple, its good stuff.
Any idea on how to do any of the following:
- restore original recovery screen
- get a clockworkmod recovery image to work
- do a nandroid backup
i have managed to get the applestyle home apks and the keyboard and stuff and so want to install another rom. I flashed a random clockworkmod image but now i dont get any recovery screen at all, its gets stuck on apple every time on every button combo/method.
if its not too much to ask, could you check if you can run fpse the psx emulator on your gooapple, it crashes to home straight after loading a game even tho i have a bios. psx4droid works but is choppy, similarly specd phones like the wildfire s and legend can play fpse games like ff7 very well.
Gooapple GPS
Do you now how to acivate the GPS on the gooapple.
Have this phone a GPS chip like SiRF III chip?
Is it possible to use it with navigation software?
Did you purchase it? If you did that, please, send me link to rom dump after you dump it or you know already existing link?
Sent from my IDEOS S7 Slim using XDA App
this phone has a sirf III and installing a gps program makes the gps work.
i cant dump the rom without getting a clockworkmod recovery image that works for this phone, unless you know of a way jon2555.
Hey guys, the best way I found to toggle gps on (because it does not show up in networks) is by installing go launcher so you get a shortcut to it in your apps, the press home and set applestyle as default again, then go through your drawer and select the go launcher shortcut, from there add the power control widget, from there you can toggle gps...
Also I have been nagging the people at the gooapple factoryand they advised they may add a downloadable firmware upgrade soon...., fingers crossed as mine is currenly half bricked, I got access to the fastboot by downloading the microsoft mobile drivers update, that lets fastboot recognise it when you reset with the vol down button, but need to read up on how to use it....
I had a quick readup on fastboot commands, and I have written an update script (The one that I cant sign), and I'm going to try to run it with fastboot as my limited and unexperienced understandung is that through fastboot you dont need signed updates...., unfortunatly I left my goo at work on wednesday and I was in Sydney all day today, so i wont be able to try it out untill I return to work in freezing Canberra tomorrow... Fingers crossed, and if I can successfully get it working again I will try to find a way to dump the partitions and make an update.zip that rewrites all of /system (if possible), so next time i kill it, I may have a better chance recovering from my mistakes (or pure lazyness....)
jon2555, no rom yet, but Hat007 did previously do an app dump of all the apps on gooapple 3g here,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1245655
(thanks hat007)
and as deepakpitrola333 said, until somebody can put a working clockwork on it, we are out of luck regarding nandroid backups.... and my goo is currently bricked so i cant do much with it, and i gave my gt-6 to my daughter already, so no chance of getting that back......
Gooapple Firmware ROM Update
Hi All,
I'm New to this. Is there going to be a ROM or Firmware Update? if so how is it going to be done? Which Website??
I've bought mine from Android-Sale.
Has anyone else bought there's from Android Sale?
Also Is there a FIX to Make the Unlock Slider Back to English without the Stupid Chinese Symbol TXT??
Also Is anyone having Trouble with there Built-In GPS?? I cant get mine to Work??
I Look Forward to your Comments.
Cheers.....
hey spookie,
kegatron has said to toggle the gps from go launcher, which enables an android style interface with power options for bluetooth, gps, wifi etc by widget or otherwise. I assume you can do this with the stock froyo launcher too.
Home key can select the launcher after a third is installed.
I got mine from fastcardtech as they gave a discount over android sale, however it will be gooapple themselves releasing the update and or rom in the future.
With so many units sold, there is gonna be stuff up soon.
If someone knows how to make thier own clockworkmod recovery, the rom can be uploaded by anyone with the phone. I have no clue who to ask to do this tho.
The chinese in the lock screen is not something i know how to change but as i said a stock froyo launcher and lock screen can be used instead. Helps with the long icon name problem too.
If its not too much to ask can you check if fpse, the psx emulator, works on your phone. It crashes straight away on mine but all psx4droid versions work but as it is known, psx4droid is considerably slower, like 10-20 fps slower making final fantasy games run 50fps max and 35-40 normally which is too choppy.
I hope what i have said helps, gps isnt on all the time so try to toggle it like keg said and if you know anyone who can write custom recovery images, get them over here
i also assume you have rooted to get rid of all chinese from system icons/folders
Hey Spookie,
With the GPS, I was still using the applestyle launcher but one of the good things about go launcher is the fact that it has a app link in your app drawer, meaning you can select the applestyle launcher as the default and still have access to go launcher without too much hassle (just select it in the apps on your home screen)
So with that said I assume you have root?, if not... get it... Lols..
from there you can get rid of the standard Chinese crud that I cant read like baidu input or whatever its called, QQ (whatever that is...) etc. using Titanium backup (CAREFUL FOR WHAT YOU UNINSTALL, and batch backup everything first!!!), I'l put up a list of what can be uninstalled safely once I get mine working again. and you can fix the server your GPS is looking for by using FasterFix from teh market (you need root for this)
And the gooapple webpage is quite easy to find.... I just googled gooapple and funnily enough the webpage's name wasn't too cryptic (its www.googapple.com lol) just use the google chrome browser to automaticly translate the Chinese and for most of the bad translations you can still work it out..
Hope this helps...
BTW, I'm looking into rewriting my update.zip file for my framework-res.apk file as the scripting is different using fastboot and I need to read up on it.. give me time
I need to work out what needs to be in the android-info.txt and android-product.txt files....
Hi Guys,
Thanks for all you Help & input.. However I'm Very Confused and Lost?? Yes I've installed Z4Root.
But Now That I've installed this App. How can I BACKUP the Whole ROM as it is before I Start to Uninstall all thoses Chinese APPs etc??
Also What Input Keyboard do I install? Which one is the Chinese Keyboard??
I'm Wanting to keep the Stlye of the Phone as it is when I bought it but wanting to Take Out the Chinese Junk, and Install just want I want in English.
As for the GPS, is there a Way to Keep it always Switch on From First turning on the Phone??
I do hope you dont think I'm a Stupid Person??
I dont want to Brick or Destroy this Phone?? Just want the Chinese Junk Out and GPS & the Unlock Slider Fixed?? Do hope they Bring out Firmware or ROM Update? I'm picking it's going to be on here once it's Relesed??
Look Forward to your Comments.

Spookie...
Gooapple Camera & YouTube
Hi Again,
I was meant to also ask in my Last Post
Can anyone if Possible post a Photo on here taken Directly off there gooapple device? Ans is it a True 3.2mb Camera? And Also is the Front Camera 1.3mb?? I'd be glad to have a look and you image....
I cant get youtube to work with the Youtube App? I've tried all sorts of Differnt Apps (apk files), and still NO Luck with youtube??
Any Thought's Or Comments??
Thanks...
SpookieNZL
Hey Spookie,
Sorry champ, if I misdirected you, what I ment by batch backup all the apps first was to do with "Titanium Backup" from the market, it requires root access
to test for correct root access, you should get # when you type su in a terminal emulator.
try this once you have it installed,
Download the Iphone keyboard from the market, the go to settings, keyboard, and enable the iphone keyboard (tick box) then, find any text box and press and hold the box untill "input method" comes up select iphone keyboard
Once you have the iphone keyboard working, you can then delete the baidu (or whatever it was called) keyboard, by opening Titanium backup, accept super user access, then go to "backup / Restore" then press the menu key (vol up) then select "Batch" then select "backup all user apps +system data", then once completed, you can then go back to "backup /restore" and find Baidu input and select it, and then "uninstall"
Congrats you have now deleted the Baidu input,
I would recommend NOT uninstalling anything that you don't know if it is crucial or not, as if you delete the wrong thing you can get major "Force close" issues and make the phone 100% unusable until a ROM has been released to re-write the partition and start again...
With the Camera, I will post a heap of photos up when I get mine working again, I have taken lots of photos of pulling it apart and upgrading storage etc. I am in the progress of putting all the info from this post into a full guide with photos of step by step how to do everything that I know of, as I can't find anything from anyone else posted on the net regarding most of the things i have covered, I might just step up to the plate and do it
With Youtube, I installed the tubemate app from market, worked fine for me.., try it an let me know
Hope this helps!!!
Also, for those who didn't know, when you have the slide to unlock screen, if you double click home you will get a camera icon pop up (on an Iphone / ipod this is to access the music menu) that way you can get quick access to the camera to take a photo
hey keg why are you telling him to uninstall baidu input, on its last setting it is a perfect iphone input keyboard completely in english, the one on the app market is not good looking or accurate.
also, on youtube this guy, mayiandjay, has good videos on some of the stuff your trying to explain so maybe skip this to save time.
lastly i hope you get your phone back to working, as i have the phone working and sort know what im doin, feel free to ask for anything from it.
spookie, ill get some daylight pics up in the morning, at night the camera looks more grainy but is still good.
Hi deepakpitrola333,
Sorry I never really gave the Baidu input a real go, I found it slow unresponsive, and sometimes would revert back to converting whatever I was trying to write into Chinese, so it got the ass, I did get swype working on it, but I'm used to my Galaxy S and didn't find it that good on this device.
I suppose my guide to deleting the Baidu input was reversable if you did it step by step, you can go into titanium backup, go to backup / resore, and go right to the bottom, select baidu input that should have a line through it, and select restore.
BAM!!! Bauidu is back, though you will have to enable it again through the keyboard s option in settings, then press and hold a text box and select it again....
Sorry for the confusion.
yea it took me a while to set it to how i like, iphone style full english with predictive, wild guesses from the options list when holding down the circle key.
it is faster than the 4-5 keyboards ive used and looks the best in caps with no numbers to ruin the look.
it wont help you keg because yours is unfortunately bricked but spookie, on baidu after getting the keyboard up (press home a few times), hold the circle (world?) key, then select last, (keyboard will close) then hold bottom left key after getting it back up then first option, then second to last for predictive or last for non predictive.
Got the Goo Going again!!!
WOOOO!!! I'm soo happy
here's how I did it, (and I will add this to the first post)
When my device was bootlooping (the gooapple animation was playing over and over) I connected it to my computer, noticed that once again I got the unknown devices (4x qualcomm HSUSB interface) pop upagain and after giving up trying to find the Qualcomm HSUSB Driver prviously I decided to go on the hunt as this was close to my last resort before giving up for the day, well guess what!! I found it!!
I downloaded a file called PdaNetA302.exe and it installed the correct drivers for me!!! from there I could finally see the device in the Android Debug Bridge (especially whilst it was was booting!!) from there I could push the framework-res.apk into the /system/framework/ dir on the goo!!! WOO HOO!!
I'l play with it for a while and start ripping everything off it tonight, see what I can do about making a backup of some sort.... or if anything a listing of all dirs and files in each partition.
Thanks everyone who is reading this for your support during these "goo-less" times
Hi! I am the youtube member "mayiandjay" that has been posting some videos on how to work around with the gooapple 3g.
Recently I tried flashing clockworkmod recovery but now I get stuck on the "gooapple" logo.
How can I restore the original recovery Image or get one that works for this unit. ANY HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!! THANKS IN ADVANCE.

Alright guys, I was on an irc channel when I considered posting this since it's rather important. There has been a lot of disappointing posts all over the forum with people complaining about bugs, while not providing any kind of information for the developers aside from "X doesn't work" or "I get random reboots".
Well, without the proper knowledge, how are we going to fix it? We don't know what kernel you may be running, what version number you're on, or any information that the system spits out to let you know there's an error. So, I decided to start this thread, to hopefully teach newbies how to give us (developers) proper knowledge when complaining about issues.
This thread will have 3 sections, Logcat (App / system debug log.), Dmesg (active kernel output) and last_ksmg (Typically if you get a random reboot or something of that sort {this is the same as dmesg except it gets the info from the last shutdown [like a kernel panic]})
Section 1: Logcat
This log should almost always be included just because it provides more info than just saying something doesn't work. It will essentially tell you which apps are crashing and why and it also gives output of what they're doing. (Your system is running through apps, the dialer, wireless radio's, etc are all ran through apps.) so, if something is general, like a system force close, please just include a logcat.
How to get a logcat:
Well, this is REALLY simple, all you need to do is just get adb up and running (google how to do that, I don't feel like writing a 'how to use adb' tutorial for everyone's phone.) and then type
Code:
adb logcat
then you just right click, select, and paste to the thread. It's really that simple!
Section 2: Dmesg
This is getting into issues such as wifi not working, sleep of death, etc. Basically, things that make us go "OH F***" when we use our devices. Note: You will need adb access for this to work, same as logcat.
What this will do is get us live kernel output so we can know things like "What driver is the kernel loading {or not loading for that matter}" and similar things. This is linux, so kernel output is important if a hardware aspect isn't working right.
How to get a dmesg:
This is simple as well, no matter what operating system you're on (mac, windows, linux) just type
Code:
adb shell dmesg > dmesg.txt
and then it will have written the output to a .txt file in your current directory. Either paste the contents to the thread, or attach it to your post.
You can also get the dmesg by using terminal emulator. Instead though, you dont type adb shell, you need to also include it to somewhere you will be able to save it. Like /sdcard so, the command goes
Code:
dmesg > /sdcard/dmesg.txt
Just get it off your sdcard and get the contents to the developer!
Section 3: last_kmsg
Ok, the last thing is last_kmsg. When android kernels crash, they right to last_kmsg so then you can find out what's going on. This is usually for issues such as random reboots and other various kernel panic symptoms. A kernel panic happens when the kernel tries to do something it can't. It doesn't mean wrong permissions, it could just have errored out on something and died which can cause a few things. Anyway, developers REALLY need this if debugging a kernel because it gives us a viable way to see WHAT it's trying to do instead of trying to guess what it is trying to do
How to get a last_kmsg:
This is super simple and the same on all phones no matter what, what you need is adb up and running (or terminal emulator) and either in adb shell, or terminal emulator just type
Code:
cat /proc/last_kmsg > /sdcard/last_kmsg.txt
or you can do
Code:
adb shell cat /proc/last_kmsg > kmsg.txt
and that will write it to your current working directory from cmd.
Hopefully, this way we developers can have our lives be a little bit easier and you can learn more about android.
I'm glad to have written this and devs, feel free to link to this guide as a "bug reporting FAQ"
HALP! I BRICKD MY FONE!!1!
I JAILBROKED IT LAST NIGHT AND NOW I NO GET SIGNEL!! PLASE HALP!!!1
but on a more serious note, good tut
Thanks dude!!! I was looking for some kind of guide. Only thing I still don't understand is when are we supposed to give dmesg and when do we give the logcat? I understand the last_kmsg is for kernel panics and random reboots, but the rest two are still ambiguous to me... Could you please explain the other two in a simpler way with an easy example for each?... Sorry.. I'm a noob... but am trying to learn these things..
There also is this app called 'Bootlog Uptime' that tries to auto-detect a crash and subsequently exports the log to sdcard.
When I get in to cmd in bootloader mode and type adb shell cat /proc/last_kmsg > kmsg.txt, I get a message Error: Device not found. I checked the ADB drivers, the are loading well. Am I doing something wrong?
If you're in boot loader mode, that's not adb.

Can someone help me please.
I am from the HTC One S (Ville C2) community. I am testing a new kernel by one of the devs who doesnt have the phone. Now after installing the new kernel the phone is on bootloop. I need to extract the last_kmsg. the only way I can get out of the boot loop to do anything is by pressing the power button and simulate battery out. This it seems erases the last_kmsg cuz when I enter recovery to get it. It either says no such file or sometimes ends up showing me the recovery kernels last_kmsg. I am at a total loss as to how I the last_kmsg file.
There is also no way to install a working boot image as the kernel uses a zip to install files on the phone so we must use recovery to restore to previous state. This leads to the original condition. I tried looking for a solution but cant find it anywhere.
I tried the above method (via the Terminal Emulator) for finding the last_kmsg (my phone had just rebooted) and it says "/system/bin/sh: cat: /proc/last_kmsg: No such file or directory"
And Indeed, there is no last_kmsg file in my proc folder. Is there something I have to do to create it in the first place?
Thanks!

Just solved the last kmsg problem. Instead of making the terminal do the job and getting "there is no such directory", just go above one level from sdcard and find proc folder. There will be a file named last_kmsg.
Hope it helps someone

Nope. It's still not there for me ... I have a file called kmsg, but not last_kmsg.
Good stuff!
I'm on JB 4.3, Galaxy Note 2 and I've Flash Davil Kernel.
Two Bugs for me:
1) when the Phone, in switch off, is charging... the LED will not light. No Red Light (when in charging), nor Green one, when it has reached the 100%.
2) When Phone is connect to PC it isn't recognized by the PC in any way. To transfer files I have to use some app via Wi-Fi.
Are Two knows Bugs? Thanks in advance.

dmesg kmsg not permitted
Here's the dmesg.txt file when issuing C:\platform-tools>adb shell dmesg > dmesg.txt
"klogctl: Operation not permitted"
So I tried:
"C:\platform-tools>adb shell

su
←7←[r←[999;999H←[[email protected]:/ # dmesg > dmesg.txt
dmesg > dmesg.txt
sh: can't create dmesg.txt: Read-only file system"
Results of issuing "C:\platform-tools>cat /proc/last_kmsg > /sdcard/last_kmsg.txt
The system cannot find the path specified.
C:\platform-tools>adb shell cat /proc/last_kmsg > kmsg.txt
/system/bin/sh: cat: /proc/last_kmsg: Operation not permitted"
Same results running terminal on phone also.

Hello all, im working on a app to transfer pictures from a camera to the phone and i would like some assistance. i got the camera connected after putting together some code reading around about it. but i can't or don't know how to transfer the files over. any assistance would be great. thanks!

Use adb.exe
1) Set ADB to &PATH
2) Make a loop running "adb devices"
3) Parse out the devices when one is detected
4) Run adb -s "DEVICE-SERIAL" push /sdcard/ or pull /sdcard/ to send files across
Here is some Regex for java for parsing out adb devices if you have more than one device connected and want to add concurrency -
Code:
private static final String mRegex = "^([a-zA-Z0-9\\-]+)(\\s+)(device)";
Hope this helps,
Ryan
P.S - Some devices like the Kindles have non-standard file systems, you may want to make some logic around this if you plan to make it large scale; for example user input to the destination path using tree/ls mappings.

Thanks for the reply, i'll see if i can give this a try. Is there a way to do it with the mtp API? similar to how the android camera gallery works. cause else i have to redo the code. Thanks
