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? 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 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)

darth So, it seems i didn’t install the boot.img.. so do I need to do the whole thing over(new ROM install) or can i just add the boot.img ? PS. I downloaded the ROM that has no browser but has Waze… and hotspot. I don’t care for the apps… just need hotspot. But voice dictation would be amazing…

darth

Cseal89 You can just install the boot.img. Follow the instructions I posted in other thread. Alternatively you can activate it with adb using the following command:
adb shell settings put secure enabled_accessibility_services com.google.android.apps.accessibility.voiceaccess/com.google.android.apps.accessibility.voiceaccess.JustSpeakService

Cseal89

darth To use the adb method, i just plug my phone into computer and run the command posted? or do i first need to open MTK utility in reboot fastboot mode... (im new to this, sorry 😉)

darth

Cseal89 Just plug your phone in and run the commands. You need to activate adb debugging on your phone with code *#*#33284#*#* and then run the code. No need for fastboot mode.

Seems like its working, THANK YOU!

whynot

I tried pasting a mod Launcher overlay apk in /product/overlay/ but it won't copy even if I remount /product to rw. If anyone knows how to fix this pls let me know

Edit: it seems you can't paste anywhere in /product though you can delete or rename files

whynot

lgexalter1 is there any way to remount it with more space?

Hi1

whynot yes, the unprofessional way is to delete unnecessary items in /product like in product/media you can find the ring tones and you can delete a few to make space

Hi1

lgexalter1 I think there is actually a way to modify with more space not sure how but there is a way and a tool for that

whynot

Hi1 XDAdevelopers have a bunch of threads on resizing partitions, though deleting ringtones is simpler

darth can you post here how to readable the massage button if someone don't need voice access (like me)?

darth

mg5077 It involves changing the keylayout files which isnt really an option in my rom. It can be done if you have a rooted phone and access to the keylayout files in system. More details have been posted upthread and are in the [Login to see the link] wiki.

Hi1

Anyone knows of a tool to extract the super.bin? I treid a lot file managers and didn't find anything that can extract a bin file

whynot

Hi1 Flash the modified recovery from [Login to see the link] and reboot into recovery. Once in recovery pull super.bin using adb

Hi1

whynot then I'll get the super.bin extracted? Or I'll simply get the super.bin?

Biden2020prez

Hi1 mtkmeta firmware utils

whynot

Hi1 you"ll get a copy of super.bin onto the computer

Hi1

Biden2020prez this is a option in the mtk meta tool? I can't find it

whynot

Hi1 in mtk tool click on android on top then select extract super img

Hi1

whynot I got it thank you!
