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.

Alcatel TCL Flip 2 (T408DL)

Biden2020prez Lol this thread is getting huge

ZTEGuy

SamFried I heard that this filter isn't so reliable.... (I can't say anything else on this forums)

ZTEGuy

lgexalter1 yes but for obvious reasons I won't elaborate

ZTEGuy

I wasn't suspecting you I just thought it would be highly irresponsible to post it on a public forum

ZTEGuy

Does anyone know the commands to permanently remove email and video? I was having some trouble finding where the apps are located....

ZTEGuy

lgexalter1 thanks

ZTEGuy

lgexalter1 Where is the gallery3 apk located?

chaimzalman

I followed all the steps to remove Browser/Chromium. I didn't get any errors but after rebooting, the browser is still there. (Before rebooting, when trying to open the browser, it didn't work)

chaimzalman

chaimzalman I think [Login to see the link] had this as well?

darth

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

chaimzalman I did have this issue. I dont know what I did to solve it but eventually it uninstalled fully. If you want you can flash my super that I posted here darth . (I added disable dmverity to my script in the zip so you shouldnt have the issue that [Login to see the link] had when flashing it.

ZTEGuy

Try running rm -rf /system/etc/permissions/privapp-permissions-chromium.xml

chaimzalman

ZTEGuy browser still comes back after reboot

ZTEGuy

chaimzalman did you run /vendor/bin/write_protect 0

chaimzalman

ZTEGuy yes

chaimzalman

ZTEGuy everything went smoothly but the browser reappeared after reboot

Biden2020prez

darth @everyone
can we be specific which versions it worked and failed on? Post which model you have, which update you have, and which version it is.

Jumptoheaven

chaimzalman It took quite short.

\platform-tools>fastboot flash boot neutron.img Sending 'boot' (24576 KB) OKAY [ 1.415s] Writing 'boot' OKAY [ 0.536s] Finished. Total time: 1.992s

darth

Jumptoheaven I posted a full super.img to flash which takes ~ 30-40 minutes. I did it because I thought it would be easier for beginners.

I changed my [Login to see the link] that I posted and my new one now has: No browser, Waze, Voice Access, and I disabled the favorites shortcut key so it can now be used to toggle Voice Access. From the t408dl with the KEEZ update.

chaimzalman

Jumptoheaven took about 45 min for me

chaimzalman

darth Can one install other apps after doing this?

techy

darth How did you disable it?

darth

If anyone here can help make an app that will toggle settings --user 0 put system keyboard_pointer_enable using a key input (It is easy to change the quick dial key code name in /system/usr/keylayout/mtk-kpd.kl) Causing a hardware key to toggle the mouse on the phone it would be greatly appreciated!

sappypappy

Saw one in the store today. Is this still locked to Tracfone for the 60 days or was anyone able to bypass that yet?

Biden2020prez

sappypappy locked.
