Does anyone know a good automatic backup app for this phone, that backs up everything to the cloud (SMS, notes, pictures, videos, contacts, etc.)?

    This is great to see this model have these options available!
    I've managed to get the neutronscott img installed and the mouse installed and working with the star button.
    Is there a good way to map voice access to the messages button? I'm not clear on the button remapping thread if that is supposed to make that work?

    I'm using the a4flip voice access and it works from the notification menu but I'm not sure how to get it mapped to the messages key.

    Would be great to get that working. Edit. I got the button mapper app to work well enough for now with a long press of a button to start the voice access. It is not quite as smooth as it was on the LG Classic Flip. It seems to start but not stop unless it either times out or is stopped from notifications menu.

    Reifam I don't know of any one app that does all of them, but I know how to do all of them. Pictures, videos, and notes could be simply copied off the phone. (Notes are in Internal Storage > Notes in a nice and simple text file.) You could backup contacts with this: FliphoneBochur. You could backup texts with this: FliphoneBochur.
    EDIT: I just reread your post and saw that you want something that automatically backs up to the cloud. I don't know of an app that does that.

            Reifam GApps magisk module, use all google apps...

                5 days later

                Hi. Thanks to all the people involved in this. I have two T408DLs from Tracfone, one 8GB the other 16GB, currently waiting for them to be eligible for carrier unlock before I try anything. In the meantime I'm doing my research. I used to compile my own Linux kernels 25 years ago, so I'm pretty tech-capable.

                I'm sure I'll have more questions in the future, but for now I'm simply wondering whether I should update my T408DLs from KEEZ to KEFH stock firmware. If I do that, will the MTK FASTBOOT/READYTOO trick still work? Is it deep on the chip?

                (BTW, I just need Magisk, not the kosher stuff, but I still read the kosher posts, which are full of useful info.)

                Thanks again for making this resource available.

                  Reifam

                  (Edit: That Magisk GApps module is 64-bit, and the T408DL is 32-bit, so it won't work, sorry.)

                  If you're looking for the Magisk GApps module, it's [Login to see the link]. I think the module zips for Android 11 are [Login to see the link].

                  The way other GApps work (like on LineageOS), Core should be enough to start, and you can install more stuff from the Play Store as you need them. Look at the bottom of the first linked page.

                      nospamboz Are you able to direct me to which files I should download? The download link is [Login to see the link] and it doesn't have an option for Android 11 which this phone runs on. Btw would this work even though this phone is Android Go?
                      Thanks

                          Reifam

                          Look, I led you to water, but it's up to you to drink it. Read what I told you to read, and make your own decision as to which collection is right for you. Hint: According to the download statistics on the right side, Core is the most commonly downloaded.

                            (Forgive me if this has been mentioned elsewhere, but 1350+ posts in is hard to scroll through and I didn't find this when I conducted a search.) There are some awesome features that are available on AOSP 11. The System UI Tuner is not available by default, but will be if you use this command adb shell am start com.android.systemui/com.android.systemui.DemoMode

                            I was able to edit (get rid of) some of the icons in the status bar (I don't need to know my hotspot is on, it's practically always on). I need to figure out how to add the temp icon from the weather app up there. And the native Do Not Disturb also becomes available. I haven't been able to test it yet, but if I can use that and delete another app, that's good for me. On the downside, as soon as you exit out of the interface, you have to ADB to get it going again. But ideally, you only need to use it once.

                            Also, found out quite accidentally, SCRCPY on webadb basically gives the smartphone experience. What I mean is, usually when I'm on a call, I can't do anything else. BUT with webadb, I was able to run commands and with SCRCPY confirm they ran, while remaining connected to my call! (note: must have debugging turned on before the call for this to work)

                            ETA: The stock DND is very basic, there's no scheduler, and even though I told it to allow alarms, the alarm didn't sound for me. So I will stick to my DND app. Also the temp from the weather app will appear in the icon bar if you goto developers options, and turn on System UI Demo Mode (different interface than the command above).

                              TARDIS You can access system ui demo mode from developer options. For going home from a call, its a bit more tricky but you can map a button to it (or use scrcpy if you want) or run "adb shell input keyevent HOME"

                                  Biden2020prez As I stated above: These are two different option menus.

                                  The one you are talking about is basically "on or off" which if you like having it on, you only need to worry about when you reboot the phone. But yes, would be fairly easy to map since it 'exists' in the menu. Screen Shot of the one you're talking about: [Login to see the link]

                                  The one I gave the command for, doesn't come up in any menu list (not Launcher 3, not in any settings (usually under About Phone - where the Developer Options appears), not in developer settings. The interface for this one lets you make individual icons either display or not display in the status bar. Screen shots of the new one: [Login to see the link] [Login to see the link]

                                  Per things I've read online (yes for smartphones, not much out there for flips with AOSP 11) it should get it's own menu item, but it doesn't on the Flip 2 for some reason.

                                  ETA: Links to screen shots

                                    OK, after finding that the 64-bit Magisk GApps module likely will not work with the 32-bit armv7l T408DL, I looked for another path to GApps. Unfortunately I won't be able to test it for another month, until my phone becomes carrier unlocked, when I'll be willing to try things. Hopefully someone else can try it in the meantime and report back.

                                    There is a Magisk module called Magic Flash [Login to see the link]. When installed in Magisk, a command shell (like "adb shell") should have access to a "flash" command line that will install zips, just like a custom recovery. There is a XDA post about it [Login to see the link].

                                    Once the "flash" command is available, my hope is that it would be able to install GApps, like the OpenGApps for arm 11 available [Login to see the link].

                                    Again, I'm not able to test it right now. Good luck to whoever does.

                                      I have the 4085W rooted with neutronscott's img, and just recently when I open the phone the screen randomly turns all white or changes orientation or other graphic malfunctions. If I restart the phone while open it goes back to normal for a while. Anyone have the same issue or any ideas to help?
