I picked up another flip phone. It's a KaiOS device, but I can't get WebIDE sideloading working for the life of me! I can sideload, I just had to dump my firmware and add entries to webapps.json and add the folder, application.zip, and manifest.webapp files. Still, this is very inconvenient and requires resetting for the added apps to show up every time. Anyone know anything about KaiOS 2.5.3?

xxdeafgirl I've installed apps on the AT&T Cingular flip 4 using webide in the past but i hit a dead end on uninstalling system apps

I need a dump of the firmware from an AT&T model. Cricket firmware seems to have arbitrary restrictions on ADB access. Also, my laptop's drive died while my phone is on a MFW (Modified FirmWare) so I don't have a stock backup anymore. If your phone is unlocked, all the better. If not, back up, unlock, and back up again, and I'll see what changed with a diff command. This one (Cricket AND ATT!) can be blown wide open and deep flashed using this tool: http://github.com/bkerler/edl Dump the firmware and upload it to Google Drive.

And for the record, removing system apps is a cakewalk if you know how to dump and manipulate system images. I've removed the MyCricket app and a few other apps I didn't want and installed a few apps I need for my work. It's not dead end, it's just way more complicated than it needs to be.

* xxdeafgirl well this was some time ago and I don't have access to that phone anymore sorry , I didn't know how to play with the system image and was following bananahackers on installing temporary root apps but when it would root the phone would disconnect from adb and Wallace tools would not let me uninstall either but the apps at least successfully downloaded with webide

[unknown] can you explain how you removed system apps. Just running in to dead ends here. And was it on the u102ac cricket debut flip?

Guys. Behold, I HAVE MULTIPLE FIRMWARES FOR THESE! Someone in an Android group I'm in dropped the firmware for a bunch of AT&T and Cricket devices by TINNO and it's flashable via edl.py Also, I wouldn't try a custom boot.img. I couldn't get it to boot. But editing the system image worked perfectly fine and I was able to debloat packages and add my own.

[unknown] Can you give a quick breakdown of how you do that? I know of a few people with with cricket kaios phones that would love to remove some of the system apps.

WARNING: A LINUX SYSTEM WITH edl, AND Android Platform Tools IS REQUIRED To enter EDL mode on this phone, use VOL-UP + VOL-DN with the phone powered off while plugging in a USB cable with the program/command running already. The U102AC and U102AA are IDENTICAL but please be SIM unlocked before swapping over, you will have to swap back to your phone's original model firmware to unlock! Swap custom system.img files back and forth on here, but make sure you include your boot.img files too because there are differences between the two in software. Keep system and boot together, mixmatching will cause issues! I first flashed the image to the phone: ./edl qfil '/home/tsuyuno/edl/U102AA-DEV/rawprogram_unsparse.xml' '/home/tsuyuno/edl/U102AA-DEV/patch0.xml' ./U102AA-DEV/ which installed a fresh AT&T dev build, ( U102AAV01.95_7.11_DEV_FLASHER.zip ) which has neat codes: Codes that actually "complete" (any USSD action on entering last digit) *#*#8#*#* - KaiOS MMI Test *#*#873733284#*#* - Debug Logger ?? *#*#86436#*#* - Version Information *#*#8899#*#* - Audio Test v1.2 *#*#793665873#*#* - Qualcomm Diag Port *#*#3866#*#* - OMADM account settings *#*#68238665#*#* - stress test *#3243#* - "DBGF Test Mode" - Purpose??? *#*#36#*#* - OMADM server (productive, iot, ptcrb, external) *#0661# - Band Info, Efuse support, etc... *#*#74655577#*#* - "Testbox tools" menu. *#*#9328378#*#* - Recieve CMAS alerts *#*#728#*#* - Enable "Network Type" selection option in Carrier under Mobile Data. Preferably set this to LTE only, as 3G WCDMA (UMTS, HSPA) has gone away and your phone will lose battery life waiting for a 3G network sometimes. *#*#827#*#* - Disable "Network Type" selection in Carrier menu. *#09# - IMEI & ICID, good for reading SIM numbers or even when you have to call your carrier. You then want to read back a system.img in one part - ./edl r system system-u102aa-custom.img and then mount it - mount system (folder you created for mounting) In /system/b2g/webapps there's webapps.json and app folders. delete the folder in webapps and the entry in webapps.json . Once you are done modding, unmount it - unmount (folder you mounted the image to) And then flash it to your phone.

lgexalter1 Be careful. This only works on U102AA and U102AC. The Alcatel based models are a no-go right now as far as I'm aware.
