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)

Does the 16GB affect the koshering roms

Biden2020prez

johnf Not sure

Near as I can tell, the 16GB and 8GB are identical (I have one of each), except for the storage size. In a month after it carrier unlocks, I'll be trying [Login to see the link]'s root. If that works, I would expect the koshering roms to work as well.

hyperactiv Yes, I have mine working with Xfinity mobile. It defaulted to the VZWINTERNET APN.

Hey guys, sorry to ask, but I have been readin the thread for what seems like HOURs now, and have so many posts yet to read...

Can Google Voice be run on this phone? I know it probably requires Play Services, but could that be handled with Magisk GApps? That's really the only app I want on this phone. TIA!

(When I start modding, I plan to backup partitions using "adb pull" or "dd" before any big changes so I can fall back, if necessary. I'll definitely do this before GApps.)

nospamboz In a month after it carrier unlocks, I'll be trying [Login to see the link]'s root.

Just curious why you are waiting for carrier unlock to root. Any relation?

Biden2020prez

nospamboz Please email me as soon as possible [Login to see the link]

I simply don't want to risk any changes affecting the carrier unlock. Plus I'm patient.

UPTHECREAK 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)
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'

I have fixed this issue. [Login to see the link] of the modified apk. It allows for the sharing of up to 10,000 contacts at a time. It may take some time to open bluetooth settings once share is pressed but if you have patience you will be able to share all of your contacts.

Archie

FliphoneBochur How do I put this on my phone? I have the TCL version if that makes a difference. I've never done booting and don't know much about it, so I don't want to break anything. Can someone walk me through it?

FliphoneBochur

Archie If you want a walkthrough, please email me at [Login to see the link], as this thread is getting very clogged up.

FliphoneBochur

I plan on making a program that simplifies the entire process of rooting this phone (and maybe installing kosher roms), but that's on my bucket list for the future.

zvirose

Biden2020prez the shock classic has google services (such as Google play services , Google assistant etc ) and I'm assuming the shock flip also does . Which means it's probably running android go

Biden2020prez

zvirose I has the framework installed, but no play store or google apps

VerveADB

EnriqueMcquade What method did you use to get the firmware link?

XanderXF

Is there any way to link this phone's contacts and calendar with my google account?

manyhill

ZTEGuy

The google messages app works well if you change the resolution

Can you post a link with instructions please? Thanks

Does anybody know why magisk is not showing up in the list of apps when I dial ##217703##. I followed whynot’s guide how to root the phone exactly as stated (3 times) and its still not showing up. I even tried restarting the phone and it still didn’t work. does this have to do with that I installed the kosher rom?
Also does anybody Know how to install a microg for the tcl, kyocera and lg classic?

HADELSCAPS Yes, If you install the Kosher Rom, it blocks all additional apps, including magisk
