Hey all...I appreciate the effort everyone has put into this. I've been tracking for a few weeks now and it's cool to see the wizards at work. Is anyone willing to give me a easy step by step flow on how to accomplish this? I haven't rooted a phone in probably 13 years but starting to get back into it. Thanks you.

    techy people may be willing to chip in

    I've given it some thought and I shared two methods to donate on my flip2 info page: [Login to see the link]

    I thought a guide was started but perhaps it was removed, I cannot find it. The only part missing from my [Login to see the link] are the fastboot/adb tools. To be honest if you're not comfortable you may want to wait a bit longer for when a polished ROM is made.

            neutronscott i see you did a remap of the quick dial button to toggle the mouse. how should i run it?

                NEC It'll hopefully be packaged up or replaced by something even easier but grab the grab binary from [Login to see the link]

                • adb push grab /data/local/tmp
                • adb shell
                • cd /data/local/tmp
                • chmod +x grab
                • ./grab /dev/input/event1

                you'll need to keep the shell open although you could try (I can't verify until replacement arrives) adb shell "nohup /data/local/tmp/grab /dev/input/event1 &" after which you should be able to unplug and it will run until it is rebooted.

                    neutronscott Wow! What you did with the phone is nothing compared to what you did with the car! If I Ever need someone to build another universe ill let you know 🙂

                    After all you did so far, maybe you can top it off by finding the speaker button.

                    On a more serious note, is it possible on These forums to make it say something other than details in a spoiler?

                        neutronscott the command to keep even when unplugged didn't work but everything else did. thanks!!

                              NEC quick dial button

                              that you all keep referring to?

                              I finally got my TCL flip and rooted it. [Login to see the link] do you still want me to try the renaming browser package name or we are past that?

                              Also anyone have a way to remap the UP directional key to anything useful instead of locked to default tracfone homepage (browser)?

                                  Flippy I haven't tried yet, but I Think its the green call button.

                                  i think past that

                                        NEC Wow cool. Mouse seems to be working good for me. More testing needed.

                                        lgexalter1 Anyone up to that? Feels like a waste of a perfectly good shortcut key.

                                            Yes I looked at this. It would only require making an overlay apk for the Launcher3. It's a resource: <bool name="def_upkey_openmysite">true</bool>

                                              I tried the instructions at [Login to see the link] but i MTKMETA dosent detected it Windows has a notification of a Something-something preloader when i connect it but mtkmeta just hangs at looking for mtk usb device until it times out

                                                Ill try installing android studio then il try again.

                                                roncat my instructions left out the MTK drivers. Did you have those? When you open windows device manager and view hidden devices, does MediaTek PreLoader VCOM show under com ports? Without an error exclamation

                                                      neutronscott I had trouble with that originally. I ended up installing one or two and getting it, but can we set the record straight?

                                                      Flippy The download link for MTK Drivers is expired. Is this the correct one?
