Jumptoheaven Actually, the sspanak version does work on the TCL, albeit with a few bugs. Firstly, even when not typing a t9 word, it still takes over the "ok" button.

In Beta16.3 it seems like the OK problem may have been fixed (change #174). There is also an open suggestion issue (#180) to add Hebrew support.
I tried to install it on my phone but can't change the input method, even if I disable Kika 12Key, any help?

      XanderXF Use the app Keyboard Switcher (just search for it). It should solve your problem. Also possible via ADB, but I am not interested in finding the command.

        Jumptoheaven LOL. I probably posted it on filetransfer.io and the link expired. But maybe not, I don't remember.

            Biden2020prez Thanks, figured it out through ADB, it doesn't fix the problem but you can still send a text through the options menu.

              hi, I installed one of the custom roms here but the message button doesnt work.
              can anyone share how to enable a button?

                  kolelguy Its intentionally disabled so it can be set as the key to activate voice access.

                      darth isn't the favorite key for that?

                            kolelguy The favorite key is set to activate the mouse.

                                Hello all! I am a newbie to this and I'm trying to get Apps downloaded to my TCL Flip 2
                                I am following neutron's github guide and have managed to flash the the neutron.img to the phone and reboot it. However I'm finding that magisk is not showing up in the app list when I bring up the list. Is the stub downloader an option on the phone or somewhere else?

                                Dial ##217703## to bring up list of apps
                                Launch Magisk (stub downloader) and download full version.

                                Did I mess something up? Or do I need to follow other steps before this one. I would greatly appreciate any input or assistance anyone may have in the matter.

                                    thunderlordcid restart your phone (not by the restart phone option, do turn off option then turn back on) and you will probably see magisk‼️

                                      darth oh get it.
                                      is there a way I can activate the message button anyway?
                                      while in a phone call the only way to see txt is that button.

                                          kolelguy In a phone call, dial *#*#217703#*#*, and choose a list of apps.

                                              Thanks to all who made this phone the best affordable kosher flip around!
                                              after using the phone for some time I have a few suggestions for improvements/bug fixes that i thought might be worthwhile to post (though i haven't a clue if any are feasible)
                                              (Some were mentioned already)

                                              1) A way to easily export all contacts
                                              --When i select all and try to share, it says 'you should select less than 100 contacts' ( so if I have more than 100 contacts and want to backup/export my contacts I would have to select them individually) UPDATE: see FliphoneBochur for a solution

                                              2) When trying to add recipients to an open message by typing in a contact, it usually copies over only the contact name without a number making the message not sendable

                                              3) A way to attach voice recordings to a message (currently if you choose attach audio it only gives the option to attach existing audio files)

                                              4) Add words to T9 dictionary (interestingly after an app crash if you choose app info>permissions>search dictionary>personal dictionary, it shows a screen to tap + to add words to personal dictionary, but it can't actually be tapped perhaps this is a possible fix?)

                                              5) Volume keys work even when the phone is closed risking accidentally turning on the ringer and having the phone ring during shemoneh esrei (My current solution is to turn on the mouse which locks up the volume keys)
                                              --Ideally the volume keys should work only to turn on the screen so you can check time/notifications without any effect on the volume

                                              6) It would be nice if both screens would show separate icons for different notifications- messages/calls/voicemails rather than just having the notification icon (The notification dropdown actually shows separate icons)

                                              7) A normal way to open 'do not disturb settings' to allow only desired calls and texts to ring
                                              --It's possible to get there by going to manage notifications in the dropdown but its cumbersome and you could get stuck if you have no notifications

                                              8) Call history is painfully slow

                                              9) Phone occassionaly freezes up And i need to force restart or wait a while (maybe 30 min) For it to unfreeze. Perhaps it's some kind of screen lock, the only buttons that work are the power button, volume keys, and quick dial button. Only happens once in a while but I have no clue what triggers it

                                              10) The easiest way to get to a contact is by dialing the name from the home screen (ex. 3684 for dovi), however when you do that there's no way to choose which number you want for contacts that have multiple numbers

                                              ALSO
                                              11) the phone by default is set that when the screen is pin locked, 10 incorrect tries will automatically reset the phone (problem for when my kid gets his hand on my phone). is there any way to change this?

                                              12) it seems that the alarm volume cannot be adjusted separately from the phone volume, meaning that for the alarm to ring calls will also have to ring

                                              13) when using search to find a text message, if you click on a message, it goes to the most recent message rather than the message that you clicked on

                                                  does anyone know how to block screen lock settings
