    Update 09/09/22: [Login to see the link] Who has done the important work to hack this phone has a wiki with all the important information about this phone. His work can be found [Login to see the link],

    Update 09/01/22: Thanks to [Login to see the link] we now have the ability to install apps!

    Original Post:

    Does anyone have this phone? It looks different than the Alcatel My Flip 2 and the TCL My Flip2. According to Tracfones website it runs Android 11 and has more storage and ram than the My Flip. Is it the same thing or actually a new phone?

    Tips about this phone:
    Enable ADB: *#*#DEBUG#*#* (*#*#33284#*#*)
    Disable Apps with adb:
    Browser: adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 org.chromium.chrome
    Texting: adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.android.mms

    Secret Codes:

    • Launcher list all apps: *#*#217703#*#*
    • Barometer Calibration: *#*#1013#*#*
    • Carrier Choose: *#*#22384#*#*
    • Testing Settings *#*#73884647#*#*
    • Enable APN editing: *#*#9663223#*#*

      Very interesting. Doesn't look like Kaios, so I am assuming it's android. There is only a picture of the homescreen I not sure. I may get it, amazon $20 [Login to see the link]

      I'm just scared it'll be super slow b/c it's alcatel

          Biden2020prez Same thoughts. Although the Alcatel flip V which was Android for Verizon was significantly better than the KaiOs devices with the same hardware.

            This may be a stupid question, but how can it be Alcatel and TCL?

            that is the next lg classic

              I am very tempted to buy it...

              Im assuming I'll buy one. For the record, out of stock on tracfone, in stock on Amazon, and also in stock on total wireless for more expensive

                I bought one. Will post back once I receive it and go through it...

                I wonder if it would have this issue appsphoarflip

                (maybe someone can teach me how to properly quote)

                    darth From that post I can't tell what [Login to see the link] said

                    Either: The schok is android 11 go, and all android 11 doesn't include the necessary apis.
                    Or: The schok is android 11 go, and android 11 go doesn't include etc.

                        Reifam You use the mouse? Isn't that phone touchscreen?

                            I have the phone. *#*#33284#*#* Turns on USB Debugging. After that Im stuck.
                            I get these errors:
                            When trying to install apps: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE: Failed rename]
                            When I try uninstalling with adb uninstall Failure [DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR]
                            When I try uninstalling with adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 Failure to remove user owner's system package: com.android.email

                                To turn on Developer Options run adb shell settings put global development_settings_enabled 1
                                The develepor options menu is found in the About phone menu

                                  try

                                  settings put secure install_non_market_apps 1.
                                  (how do I put the grey over commands?)

                                  If still not work then **settings put global install_non_market_apps 1

                                    When you put a non-Tracfone Sim, does it ask for a unlock code (also do you know whether it asks for one or 2)?

                                    what if you dial #tfunlock#?

                                    Thanks!
