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)

hyperactiv

Biden2020prez I was able to install via the app, but adb is probably easier for a phone like this lol

Biden2020prez

hyperactiv Most users were not able to install via the app. Glad to hear it worked for you!

hyperactiv

beginer When you run the command, magisk will pop up on the phone asking for root permissions, you must hit "grant" for the command to complete.

beginer

hyperactiv for some reason it doesn't pop up

sahmed92

Thanks for the response! Unfortunately Magisk does not let me open the vmouse2.zip file. When I do Magisk -> Modules -> Install from Storage, then navigate to the folder containing the file, it simply doesn't show up.

darth

sahmed92 You need to install it via adb. It doesnt work to install from the magisk app.

Biden2020prez

sahmed92 see Biden2020prez

sahmed92

darth There's no APK in the Neutron Scott mouse. When I try to install either vmouse2 zip or the mouse file within using adb install the terminal just tells me that I need an APK

darth

sahmed92 you need to install it with magisk --install-module from a root shell

sahmed92

Biden2020prez

If I enter: adb shell su -c magisk --install-module C:\Users\[name]\Downloads\Flip_Root\vMouse2.zip
I get a response saying: C:Users[name]DownloadsFlip_RootvMouse2.zip' does not exist

As though it's not reading the backslashes that I put into the path. And if I try it with forward slashes that doesn't work either.

Edit: Never mind I got it! Didn't realize you had to navigate through the phone's file system. I'm new to all this. Figured it out though, thanks!

Biden2020prez

sahmed92 Okay Good Job. If you need more help let me know.

hyperactiv

beginer Can you open the Magisk app?

beginer

Requires permission not exported from uid 10113

whats this?

papermario I have Spotify on my phone, works pretty well with the mouse.

Ppotecha

hyperactiv Do you suggest any other default apps?

beginer

Ppotecha yes

I recently changed my default messaging app to google messages. I want to map the hardware message button to go to the google messages app, but when I use the button mapper app, it just automatically opens the native messaging app. Button Mapper doesn't even recognize it. Is there any way to do this?

Biden2020prez

Ppotecha It would be a bit of a confusing button remapping process seen here

[Login to see the link]

once you do this for the messages key it will allow you to map it with button mapper

XanderXF

UPTHECREAK I think these 2 issues were also fixed in KEFH;

Was 5) actually fixed, because I'm debating updating but I actually like being able to change the volume when the phone is closed.

Biden2020prez

XanderXF I guess it wasn't fixed. It was broken 🙂

Flippy

XanderXF Biden2020prez
My personal opinion: (this is a forum after all) volume keys should not work when the phone is closed, unless you unlock them. It can be a key sequence or press and hold but it should not be able to just change itself in your pocket. Not sure why only the durable phones implement this....

Ppotecha

beginer I should have been more specific....which alternate default apps do you recommend?
