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)

swagmastuh I've been rebooting a lot today and it seems more often the APK installations fail. I might make a new boot.img that runs the command earlier in the init process but until then you can resolve it by resetting the parameter and restarting the Android system (as long as Magisk got installed and setup):

C:\>adb install Launcher3.apk
Performing Streamed Install
adb: failed to install Launcher3.apk: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE: Failed rename]
C:\>adb shell su -c resetprop -n ro.vendor.tct.endurance true
C:\>adb shell su -c setprop ctl.restart zygote
C:\>adb install Launcher3.apk
Performing Streamed Install
Success

Biden2020prez

neutronscott No, his issue is he is trying to install apps from the file manager. Either do adb or send files through bluetooth and install through notifications. (If you install another file manager app it will let you install apks)

sawlw

anyone know the wallpaper gallery location?

neutronscott

sawlw embedded in the Launcher3 apk resources

swagmastuh

Long delay but I ended up just installing apps via adb. I installed F-Droid which can install the APKs it downloads without issue.

techy

darth How did you disable it?

ZTEGuy

Does anyone know if this phone has nfc?

ZTEGuy It doesn't

Hi1

Can anyone explain me exactly how to install apps on that phone I think that there is no clear instructions in this whole thread I tried to follow [Login to see the link] instructions I installed mtk meta and when I press on reboot fast boot mode it pops back no device found (usb Debugging is on)

flipphones123

Hi1 You need to first click reboot fastboot mode, then plug in your powered off phone into the computer, then it should work. It will not work if you dont have mtk drivers installed, and fastboot commands wont work without fastboot drivers installed.

Hi1

flipphones123 thanks for that info, the usb option needs to be on a specific setting like transfer files or charging? ( I don't have midi option on this phone)

Hi1

flipphones123 I installed mtk drivers and I'm still getting the same error basically I get the error when press reboot fast boot mode and I plug in the device and it's loading for a while and it pops up no device found

Flippy

Hi1 Which drivers did you install?

Hi1

lgexalter1 right I'm just thinking y it's not working

Hi1

Flippy I don't know I just Google searched mtk drivers and downloaded it, can you please send me the specific version?

Flippy

I had that issue [Login to see the link]

Never got the right answer.
I extracted all of them and then installed 2 of them (if I remeber correctly) The second one of them did some very scary-looking CMD prompt window stuff with tons of words scrolling.... After a while it finished, and I guess it worked, beacuse after that it was able to find the device.

As a help to the forums, please take note of which one(s) you install and let us know back here what worked 😊

Flippy

I used the 1632 driver and it worked for me.

Think my vMouse is ready for testing: [Login to see the link]

I installed it with adb shell (like I do everything) but should work using the Magisk app as well.

adb push vMouse.zip /sdcard
adb shell
su
magisk --install-module /sdcard/vMouse.zip
reboot

Activate/Deactive: Tap * (the top one for favorite contacts)
Scroll wheel: 7/*, 9/#, volup/voldown (scroll up/scroll down respectively). The volume buttons don't send repeat codes so they need to be pushed a lot, the others can be held down.
Left click: OK
Right click: 3 (untested)

Well right click won't work well I didn't stop the 3 key from being passed through so it'll dial 3 oops

Biden2020prez

neutronscott This is awesome, keep it up!

NEC

neutronscott installed and it shows the installed module but nothing happens when i try to toggle. edit: you meant the favourite contacts key! sorry! btw - the mouse does toggle off. but it won't dissapear. any suggestions?

techy

neutronscott Is it necessary to first do this [Login to see the link] ?
EDIT: Just tried it without and it worked without remapping!

Also, can you give some instructions on how to remap the keys?
I tried just running all the listed commands, but I got an error
Gflip6_TF:/ $ su Gflip6_TF:/ # PATH=$(magisk --path)/.magisk/busybox:$PATH Gflip6_TF:/ # mkdir -p /data/adb/modules/mymodule && cd $_ Gflip6_TF:/data/adb/modules/mymodule # /data/adb/modules/mymodule # vi module.prop /system/bin/sh: /data/adb/modules/mymodule: can't execute: Is a directory 126|Gflip6_TF:/data/adb/modules/mymodule # data/adb/modules/mymodule # vi module.prop /system/bin/sh: data/adb/modules/mymodule: inaccessible or not found

I still think a driver issue is stopping us from modifying the nvram.

Hi1

Hi, I installed neutron.img when I'm trying to install the full version of magisk I get a message /dev/block/mmc... is read only. any help?

Biden2020prez
