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.

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.

i know your so dumb. Anyone could have done that.. 🙂

that was very very sarcastic in case someone didn't realize

neutronscott

Biden2020prez settings display menu layout

Yep I am such dumb. I was trying anything in the code to see if it bypass any check but it's hard coded. Haven't actually played with many settings on the phone yet so didn't know 🤣

Biden2020prez

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

neutronscott not working for me. I flash your lk image, reboot, adb shell, su, mount, rm, reboot and Chromium is still there. What am I doing wrong?

I'm not sure. Here is the mmc utility I was using: [Login to see the link]
Does it show only groups 0-1 as power-on write protection?

Gflip6_TF:/data/local/tmp # ./mmc writeprotect user get /dev/block/mmcblk0
Write Protect Group size in blocks/bytes: 16384/8388608

Hi1 Did you enable rw for system with /vendor/bin/write_protect 0?
If you did and you are still facing issues then you wont be the first: Hi1 darth ZTEGuy chaimzalman It works itself out eventually.

darth

lgexalter1 Yes its strange that button mapper wont detect the extra keys. I have another app (key event display) which I used to test the buttons id number and it also wont detect the extra keys.

Biden2020prez

darth But if you put 17 into mouse app will it toggle?

Biden2020prez

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.

neutronscott

darth Yes its strange that button mapper wont detect the extra keys. I have another app (key event display) which I used to test the buttons id number and it also wont detect the extra keys.

Looks like framework will need some patching. These keys are hardcoded in services.jar PhoneWindowManager interceptKeyBeforeQueueing()

Biden2020prez

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!

darth

lgexalter1 I tried again still isnt working for me. What exactly did you do?

Has anyone pulled super and reflashed it? I have pulled it and used lpunpack to get system.img and am trying to modify the system but I was wondering if it would flash back on to the phone ok? Is there anything I need to make sure of before I flash it back?

Biden2020prez

darth Sounds like there is no point because we can remove system apps. I am not sure what's causing your issues maybe try a factory reset.

darth

lgexalter1 What about the one that was in the update zip?

darth

neutronscott This is what I get:

Gflip6_TF:/data/local/tmp # ./mmc writeprotect user get /dev/block/mmcblk0
Write Protect Group size in blocks/bytes: 16384/8388608
Write Protect Groups 0-1 (Blocks 0-32767), Power-on Write Protection
Write Protect Groups 2-924 (Blocks 32768-15155199), No Write Protection
Write Protect Groups 925-925 (Blocks 15155200-15171583), Permanent Write Protection

How well does voice access Click?
i am thinking of try options for mouse

Edit virreshs app to use the same clicking Method as voice access. I don't know how to do this but i would Take a shot if i have time.
With root maybe we can make the mouse click with adb input tap. But i don't think root is a good idea in a kosher firmware. Maybe something that uses the same trick as ladb. But that seems far off.

neutronscott

lgexalter1 I haven't had any luck with SP Flash Tool. Here's just enough info to flash super I think.

If you get SP Tools to download let me know how

Biden2020prez

neutronscott are you using default download agent?

neutronscott

Biden2020prez we also want to remove fm Radio and maybe hotspot.

Did one of these versions have an FmRadio App? Can I get a copy? I do see fm radio driver.

EnriqueMcquade

My T408DL does not have an FM radio app.
