Android iPhone 4 clone (Almost fully cloned even the Launcher and UI)

Let me introduce to you: the GooApple





It's a functioning Android phone that has exactly the same dimensions as the iPhone 4. Next to that they cloned almost the entire interface.

Can somebody order one and dump the /system

I wan't that launcher to make fun of apple fanboys!

EDIT:

Here is the pre-order link:

So I got one. Here's my thoughts so far.

Build quality is decent. I give it a 8.5/10. The volume buttons aren't as clicky as real iphone buttons, and the home button kinda sticks if I press it above off-center. Screen quality is decent. Typical HVGA, same proportion as real iphone.

Both front and rear cameras work. Quality is average. Dock connector uses regular iphone usb cables.

There's exactly the same amount of buttons as a regular iphone 4. To emulate back/menu buttons, toggle the mute switch; while in mute, volume - becomes back, and volume + becomes menu. I tried softkeys, but it doesn't seem very compatible.

The UI shell is meh. Once you get over the ooh they copied this and that and it looks the same, it gets old fast. The app screen is the same, has folders. But no auto-sorting. Many of the apps, like messaging and calculator, have been "themed" or cloned or copied visually from iphone styles.

I was able to root with z4root. It seemed partially rooted, but I think I needed the superuser app to get most root apps to run. If I try to run superuser directly though, it crashes. With root, I have fs access to system and system/app. I've backed up and stripped out a lot of the chinese applications, such as their version of market and a few probably pirated games.

I've since switched over to Go Launcher, my favorite. The market initially had only some apps, some missing. I did the clear cache/data/google services framework etc fix and I was able to see pretty much all of the apps, I think. It comes with an old version of market; I think it said 1.78. I tried to install 3.0.26 and 3.1.3, but neither would work or install failed, not sure.

Overall, I'm pleased with it. I also have an Atrix, so I have my power phone. But for a phone with iphone external aesthetics and android guts, it's a nice toy and backup phone.

Here yall go.

I separated out the stuff I ripped out into the chinese apps subfolder, but if you want to play with it, it's there. There's an OSK called baidu keyboard, that I left in the default folder; it's themed/skinned like IOS keyboard, but has an alternate mode to enter chinese characters; it's kinda tricky to play with, so I prefer to just use gingerbread keyboard anyway. But there doesn't seem to be a stock keyboard in gooapple, so I left baidu in for install for fear that if I don't, then I won't have a keyboard at all.

That's system/apps. lmk if there's anything else specific you need ripped.

I don't think I want the actual Gooapple phone, I just want to download the ROM...it would be fun to install this on my Nexus or Galaxy to play around.

I really hope its a custom MIUI ROM that will be uploaded to this forum soon!
