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':

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"

            I did install -g 2048.apk and received back
            Needs 1 argument (see "install --help")

            So I did install --help and I got
            `-d Act like mkdir -p
            -D Create leading directories for DEST
            -g Make copy belong to GROUP
            -m Set permissions to MODE
            -o Make copy belong to USER
            -p Preserve timestamps
            -s Call "strip -p"
            -v Verbose

            Tried a bunch of things and nothing worked. Maybe try settings put global set_install_location (path to your sdcard) and then you won't get not enough space error?

                Biden2020prez Doesnt help. Im assuming the issue is not a storage issue rather its the last part of the error "failed rename". I think its because of the way they blocked installing apps. [Login to see the link] Who figured out the workaround for the LG Classic? Where and what should I be looking for to find a workaround?

                    Good luck getting them to tell you. Interestingly in settings > Phone settings > security there is a list of Trusted Sources, and also an option Install From storage, which says not allowed when you click on an APK.

                      Maybe with Root Access we can add trusted sources

                        Biden2020prez Im pretty sure thats referring to installing trusted source certifacates not apps....

                          Yes, I realized that later

                            Does anyone here have experience using SP Flash Tool? This phone has a MT6739CH chip and Im trying to download the firmware off the phone but Im having issues with finding/creating the scatter file.

                              We would love to take a crack at this phone but unfortunately we don't have one yet.

                              In terms of the software and hardware though how is the quality? Is there any button lag, is the software fluid and fast? How does it compare to an LG Classic or Exalt?

                              I just had our secretary order 3 of them for our developers. Let's see what we can do.

                                There is no button lag. When you disable apps the icon disappears and the other ones shift in the grid (unlike the awkward blank space in the classic). Buttons are good and has plastic in between them so you shouldn't have the buckling issue that Ive had with the classic. Has extra buttons which could be utilized if we got button mapper working. I havent actually used the phone as a phone yet but the texting has kt9, I havent found a way to add to the dictionary. Any other specific questions?

                                Thanks for the response, it sounds like a high quality piece, so once they come and our developers get a crack at it we will see if we can start loading up some kosher apps on it.

                                  Apps4Flip-Admin Yeah, it's pretty high quality, maybe even nicer than LG Classic. Charges with USB-C.

                                      Biden2020prez Yes. It seems like it goes into download mode (with volume up) and immediately goes out, judging by the device attached and the device detached pings from my computer.
