Alcatel TCL Flip 2 (T408DL)

OK I got lazy (or smart?) and patched the lk partition. It has the code that enables the power-on write protection from sec1-super. I changed it to sec1-tee2 and shrunk it. Then I decided I wanted boot writable, and I put sec1-lk2 and it must not have that name in the table because it just lost the entire 2nd write protection but whatever.

Here is what was write protected before:

EDIT: File removed. Just use /vendor/bin/write_protect 0

• flashboot flash lk lk-neutron.img
• mount -o rw,remount /
• rm -rf /system/app/Chromium
• reboot. see if it's gone.

Biden2020prez now we just remove what we want and pull super?

That should suffice.

lgexalter1 This guy is genius!

Eh if that were the case I'd have got recovery to work instead of just blowing open the doors.

I briefly looked at Launcherv3 and it looks like it tests if the app exists on system partition. Not going to mess with that now but hopefully just putting things in system makes it show up there. I did find this setting settings put global all_app_layout_type=1 to change the Launcher to a list.

Biden2020prez the user still wont have write permissions because he modified lk not super correct?

If you don't flash lk, the user won't have write access.. until they flash it. If you want to distribute super without Magisk there may be some AVB things to disable yourself that Magisk does.

lgexalter1 that's sad. Does button mapper also only support those keys?
even if it does we can probably map a long press to toggle voice access, But it would be very disappointing if most keys cannot be mapped.
how about mouse? I know it doesn't work, but does it recognize the star key?

darth did this work for anyone else?
maybe neutronscott did something that didn't work, but solved half the issue and this is the second half.

lgexalter1 perfect. Maybe try again darth?

Now about the mouse: try changing the package name of listlauncher to the package name of the browser. Launch it and does the mouse appear? How about if you click on an app?

i think that's how it works on the etalk. The mouse has some advantages over the virresh Like dragging, but doesn't have scroll and cant click the top or bottom of the screen.
Let me know if this works!
