Update 09/19/20: I have made a thread with custom ROMs and instructions how to install them, located here Update 09/09/22: @neutronscott 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 HERE , Update 09/01/22: Thanks to @neutronscott 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?

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 https://www.amazon.com/TracFone-Flip-Prepaid-Phone-Locked/dp/B09X7F2GCG 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?

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)

Biden2020prez I dont think so. Its supposed to be running an AOSP Android 11 not Android Go.

darth From that post I can't tell what @appsphoarflip 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.

Alcatel TCL Flip 2 (T408DL)

Reifam In terms of launcher what are you looking for? Apps will show up in the launcher if you rename the package name of the app to:
com.android.dialer
com.android.mms
com.android.contacts
com.android.gallery3d
com.android.music
com.tcl.camera
org.chromium.chrome
com.android.settings
com.att.deviceunlock

Tools:
com.android.soundrecorder
com.android.calendar
com.android.deskclock
com.android.note
com.android.calculator2
com.android.email
com.jrdcom.filemanager
com.android.stk
com.tcl.tct.weather
com.tcl.logger

Otherwise using that app that [Login to see the link] made for a shortcut to all apps and using a directional key shortcut to that app is easy way to get to all apps.

Reifam

darth How would I rename the packages?

MXRJR

darth will this work for lg exalt?

Hi1

darth I couldn't do that before deleting the system app from the system first right? And how do I do that?

helpme

Voiced access isnt doing anything when a number is being clicked within waze rending waze useless. I installed the kosher rom that was most inclusive, how would I go about adding a mouse via boot.img once I have the kosher rom installed?
I had originally had the magisk with neutronscott from his website but found a way to reininstall browser after removing it via adb, even without the use of a computer.

ZTEGuy

MXRJR you will need to have root access to permanently delete the original system app, but I think so

MXRJR

ZTEGuy using adb and uninstalling browser and email etc..., is that considered permanently deleting the system app?
does root access go beyond that process?

darth

Hi1 The ones in bold are not installed on the Tracfone version. The other ones would need to be deleted first which can be done if you have root access. Either using a root enabled file manager or using a root shell delete the folder containing the app you want to delete in /system/app/ or /system/priv-app/

ZTEGuy

MXRJR no

I tried to replace up key Browser shortcut with following
settings put global keyshortcut_upkey APP2LAUNCH
setting list show value change but not working when I test it.

Is there another way to change that shortcut key?
Thank [Login to see the link] for answering my previous question.

darth

-Tun The launcher overlay app in product/overlay has a value that needs to be changed: res/values/bools.xml def_upkey_openmysite=false

Hi1

darth I have root access on my tcl and I tried with fx file explorer which I grant root access and it didn't let me delete it

-Tun

darth I didn't found res/values/bools.xml file in Launcher3-overlay.apk, I only found wallpaper files in there. But Update in XML and repackage APK file is beyond my ability. Thank for the information.

darth

Hi1 Did you enable rw for system with /vendor/bin/write_protect 0?
If you did and you are still facing issues then you wont be the first: Hi1 darth ZTEGuy chaimzalman It works itself out eventually.
