Number 2 is certainly fixed. It was something weird regarding imported contacts that did not get recognized by the Messages app.
I was tracking the issue here: [Login to see the link] and could only report it by purchasing a TCL Classic which TCL customer support can actually give support on. Giving them the IMEI of my Tracfone one only led them to tell me to call Tracfone. Tracfone support sucks and doesn't really take proper note & action of software bugs.
However, since the issue occurred on the TCL Classic too, TCL support was interested in the bug and reported it to their developers.
woo!

    I finally found the setting to schedule DND (I had to search "schedule" instead of "do not disturb" to turn it up for some reason?) but whenever I open the menu it crashes half a second later. 🙁 Anyone had luck with this? Maybe there's a 3rd party app that can do it...

    Edit: Found one! ...Sort of. I can't get it to stop the phone from vibrating, only turn off the volume, but better than nothing.

    Edit 2: It seems to be requesting ACCESS_NOTIFICATION_POLICY permission but 1. I don't know how to grant that in adb and 2. I don't know whether granting it is a good idea anyway

      papermario If you have zenit installed, which I believe you do from your other comment, just long press the app and select "app info" then selection permissions and enable all the ones you need. No adb needed.

      Looking at the apps features, notification access is likely used for detecting different app notifications to schedule DND. If you only need the app for scheduling based on time you could probably leave it off.

        hyperactiv Try Macro Droid, or else we might be able to create a shell script that runs on boot.

            Found more interesting things, idk if this could maybe be added to the Flip2 wiki by [Login to see the link] ?

            If you install [Login to see the link]

            then you can use the search function to open the native android settings "search" feature (by launching the search intent from com.android.settings) and then search for any native android setting.

            this allows you to reset / change stuff like default apps.

            So far you can replace or reset:

            Home, Web Browser, Home App, Phone App, and the SMS App.

            You can also enable the full debug menu as well, allowing one to change debug settings without adb use

              hyperactiv There are a few other ways. For example dialing *#*#217703#*#*, choosing MTK non framework lbs, and there should be a button to that brings you to a screen with a search bar on top right.

                I just saw someone's tagged TCL Flip 2 and it had a different recent calls app which works well. It also had a Zmanim app. Just wanted to know if anyone knows if its proprietary? Or i can get them?

                  beginer If you follow [Login to see the link]'s suggestion right above your comment you can launch the accessibility center built into android (instead of the one TCL made) and you can activate that feature.

                    techy It's android so you can do any recent call app you want "technically"

                      Can you please explain what to do with these mouse files?

                        sahmed92 That was meant to be a reply to someone... can't find the post now. But basically I'm having a hard time getting the mouse to work on my TCL Flip 2. I mostly followed the instructions on Apps4Flip but because I didn't want a Kosher phone, I used the neutron.img instead of one of those ROMS. I've successfully installed Magisk and other APK's through ADB but a lot of them are useless without a mouse. I did flash the boot.bin before the neutron.img but still no mouse. Have Neutron Scott's mousev2 downloaded but no idea what to do with the files.

                        Thanks.

                            sahmed92 You need to root the device, then install the mouse files via Magisk: [Login to see the link]

                            Edit: I should learn to read. Open magisk from the app drawer, then in the modules menu, select install and then browse to the vmouse2.zip file (don't unzip, just the file) then reboot when done.

                            Also, use [Login to see the link] to control the phone if you have issues navigating with the dpad

                                Add A) Please post anything related to apps and rooting here, and post anything related to kosher ROMs ins that thread.
