    To turn on Developer Options run adb shell settings put global development_settings_enabled 1
    The develepor options menu is found in the About phone menu

      try

      settings put secure install_non_market_apps 1.
      (how do I put the grey over commands?)

      If still not work then **settings put global install_non_market_apps 1

        When you put a non-Tracfone Sim, does it ask for a unlock code (also do you know whether it asks for one or 2)?

        what if you dial #tfunlock#?

        Thanks!

          darth Is that an interchangeable term for root access?

              Biden2020prez #tfunlock# works to get to unlock menu.
              When I put a non-Tracfone Sim it just has a notification for an invalid Sim.

              Biden2020prez click on </> to put in code. That command went through but didnt allow me to install apps. When I press on an apk in the file manager I get the error: "Installation apk is not supported" and when I try installing apps via adb I get the error "Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE: Failed rename]"

                    I wonder if the phone has a package installer, but either way it should work via ADB. I'm assuming you're referring to apps4flip apps (or other modified ones).

                    Do you do it on webadb? You use the shell, or simply press install apk?

                      darth And if you don't mind telling me how to find these secret codes or at least sending me a link with instructions...

                            Biden2020prez I use ADB in command prompt. I tried modified apps from a4f and ones that I modified myself (including ones with install location set as preferred external).

                            Biden2020prez I got the secret codes from these forums. Also this debug code has worked on alcatels for years now, I originally saw it on bananahackers.

                                Reifam Yes, because that phone has a touch screen. The bug only affects monitors that do not report themselves as touch screens. Because the CAT S22 has a touch screen, the bug doesn't affect it and a virtual mouse would also work.

                                  Here's literally the patch that broke virtual mice in all Android 11 variants for anyone interested: [Login to see the link]

                                  I wonder if this Ryan W Lin knows how much premature e-waste his tiny code change will be responsible for -.-

                                    Okay so I assuming there are two codes

                                    I got the phone, what command are you using to install apks? I got a much longer error, and it didn't go through. I did
                                    cd storage/self/primary/download which went through, then
                                    pm install filename.apk which gave me
                                    Exception occurred while executing 'install':
                                    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Error: Can't open file: 2048.apk

                                    Is that because the command I used, or because I'm using WebADB

                                      also you can go to files by
                                      am start com.android.documentsui/com.android.documentsui.ViewDownloadsActivity

                                      but the okay button won't work so you need to figure out the X and Y of the screen and run input tap x y (which I don't know how to do)

                                      I did list packages and the phone does have a package installer

                                      And Scrcpy for this phone isn't great, maybe try with your mouse

                                          Biden2020prez Im using adb from command prompt with command: adb install -g siddur.apk

                                          Biden2020prez I used that command to go to files and using scrcpy I was able to select an apk file which than prompted the classic android "Do you want to install this application" but when I pressed on install it starts loading than says "App not installed"
