I'm curious, if the issue with my phone was that it was on an older update and that was the issue with neutron's boot, could I install the update recovery? The only issue is I'd need to find a place to download the KEEZ update.
ReifamLevel 4 - Platinum MemberBiden2020prez Just on a side note, did you figure out how to capture the files through adb while updating the phone?
ReifamLevel 4 - Platinum MemberI am using neutronscott's ROM and I am trying to get voice access. I tried to install the apps4flip apk on it but adb gave me a signature error Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_SHARED_USER_INCOMPATIBLE: Reconciliation failed...: Reconcile failed: Package com.android.cts.apps.accessibility.voiceaccess has no signatures that match those in shared user com.google.android.apps.accessibility.voiceaccess.uid; ignoring!]
I then tried an apk from APKMirror and APKPure and again I was unsuccessful. This time with a different error. Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_NO_MATCHING_ABIS: Failed to extract native libraries, res=-113]
Finally, I tried downloading voice access from the Aurora Store on my phone. After it was installed I opened it and a pop-up stated that I need to enable accessibility permissions. When I clicked "OK" it took me to a hidden accessibility setting page on the phone where it quickly scrolled down and all-of-a-sudden it closed up on me and returned to the home screen. I tried again and the same result took place with the phone telling me "Settings keeps stopping."
I then tried to enable it through adb with the commands on the apps4flip website, but it to was to no avail. 
If there are any suggestions I am open with wide arms. 
Thanks
oh, re-read a fews posts up and you talk about probably being able to install update from recovery. But as there is no response to that post yet, I guess no one has tried it. If I can be pointed to the update file I will try it and report back.
My only other thought is to get a second phone, since it was only $20 and pull the firmware off it and put it on the unlocked phone, sort of like cloning one phone onto another. Not sure how to do that, but I'd be willing to try that if the update doesn't fix it. Then I'd have a backup phone in case I break mine, which I somehow do a lot (part of why I moved to a flip phone).
Biden2020prezLevel 6 - Platinum Elite MemberReifam Yes. The apps4flip commands are not going to work. Use this app.
lgexalter1 I modified this accessibility manager too work on all devices (hopefully). [Login to see the link]
Remember you need to run adb shell pm grant com.android.cts.accessibility android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
Works fine now on Alcatel TCL Flip 2 (T408DL)

ReifamLevel 4 - Platinum MemberBiden2020prez Thanks for the help.
I am having a bit of an issue. I downloaded it and it worked perfectly, but as a mistake, I set there to be a floating icon. So I tried messing with it and couldn't get it to open up voice settings. Next, I tried to delete it and reinstall it. I looked around on adb for the package name (with the "-3" filter option) and I saw two options com.android.cts.accessibility and com.google.android.apps.accessibility.voiceaccess I deleted both. After reinstalling the apk file I opened it and gave it permission, but then it didn't give me the option for voice access. I then went back to my computer and saw that only the first package was installed and not the second. Do you know why this happened and how to solve it?
-Thanks
Biden2020prezLevel 6 - Platinum Elite MemberReifam com.android.cts.accessibility is the app i linked you to. just install voice access via ADB and you'll be fine. To open Voice Access Settings, just turn on voice access (for example, via notifications), and say "Voice Access Settings".
Hi, does anyone have a way to export all the contacts to VCF via ADB, i used the command below but its not in VCF format, i can technically play around with it in Notepad ++ but i wanna know forst if anyone has a quicker way
adb shell content query --uri content://com.android.contacts/data

thanks for your response, but can you give me quick instructions on how to allow APK installations on this phone (TCL Flip) without wiping all the data on it?

A) There's no such thing as quick instructions when it comes to this phone.
B) I don’t think it’s possible to enable APK installation without wiping the data.
C) Refer to the first post in this thread for more information.
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. This means that i cant click "send" directly (in messages), or "save" (in notes). Additionally, it takes over the left softkey. This means that i cant press a contact shortcut number and use the left softkey to "send message". But it does work. And it has the ability to add words to the dictionary.
So @sspanak and others have done a lot of work on his tt9 keyboard, and the OK to send along with many other bugs have been fixed. Also, support for Hebrew predictive texting has been added. This is a great keyboard for this phone. The latest release (v20.0) is [Login to see the link].
JumptoheavenLevel 5 - Gold Elite MemberXanderXF thank you. I'll try it when I get a chance.
Many thanks to everyone here who made it possible for me to have a flip phone again! I have the 4058W and use it on cricket/att. I'm a triple amputee and only have one hand with fingers so I wanted a smaller phone for pocket real estate.
I did neutronscotts root and can install APKs, but mainly I wanted to keep my streaming music services. Amazon Music runs just fine on the My Flip 2.
Has anyone found a better launcher experience? If I could put apps to scroll through on the home screen that would be great! Also, this gone doesn't come stock with a voice to text, so could someone suggest a voice typing that might work?
I'm 50, and back in the day I could T9 text a paragraph driving in the work truck and never look at the phone. Excited to daily drive a phone that doesn't ding every 3 seconds.
smoakeater Use voice access for voice to text
Kgr Here is an [Login to see the link] from [Login to see the link]. It will launch when you press the up key from the Home Screen, or you could install it as a system app and it will show up in the regular app menu as browser or att unlock depending on which version you use.
Biden2020prezLevel 6 - Platinum Elite Membersmoakeater Good luck on your flip phone journey. To see your apps you can dial *#*#217703#*#*. You can also install ListLauncher and set it as a shortcut key in settings or the launcher from [Login to see the link].
And as ZTEGuy said, you can use "Voice Access" for voice to text. If you need to install a (virtual) mouse, you can use [Login to see the link] by [Login to see the link].
