    hello all,
    I bought one of these iphone clones with MTK 6589 known as the yophone i5, it has Android 4.2 running under an iOS skin that fully simulates iOS. Upon buying I thought it would be easy to remove, but it’s not. Not for me anyway, I really dislike the iphone OS as settings are a pain to manage. I am also unable to make outgoing calls because I can’t access the original settings and set the caller ID.
    I have been trying to remove the skin, deleting files like “settings” (I did backup before delete) and some other files I did not back up as I did not think them important (big mistake). Android is still running but in the deleting one of the interface files I also lost the upper toolbar which shows battery life and quick access to controls WIFI and USB settings, very annoying to lose that ability.
    I was thinking to format this phone and then put on a new CLEAN version of Android 4.2 on it without that iphone skin. But where do I find such a file?
    I am fairly new to Android, not sure how realistic my wishes are.

    Appreciate the feedback.

    I do not think that you have any option left to install the stock android 4.2 jelly bean ROM on your Smartphone. You may wait for an upgrade from your manufacturer or try launchers for a default jelly bean look. You can easily download the launcher you want for your Smartphone by the google play store, most of the launcher there are completely free of cost.
