Hi1 If magisk is installed you are rooted.

    If you are stuck you can email the email in my bio and ill try to help.

    Few things that'll be easy to add/fix are making pointer disappear, having horizontal scroll, and maybe have volume keys adjust speed. Oh and right click will be fixed.

    Edit: and maybe changing it to a double/long tap to engage mouse mode so favorites can still operate.

    Edit 2: Darn disconnecting the mouse and reconnecting it doesn't seem to do anything for having the pointer disappear and location reset

    v2 ready for testing. probably it for awhile:

    [Login to see the link]

    Activate: Long press * (fav contacts not number pad)
    Deactivate: Press *
    Left click: OK or 1
    Right click: 3
    Increase speed: vol up
    Decrease speed: vol down
    Horizontal scroll: 4/6
    Vertical scroll: 7/* or 9/#

    Power button is always passed through and will deactivate the mouse.

    I'm using a Windows 10 machine. I open MTK Meta, select "Reboot Fastboot Mode". Plug in the turned off phone, the phone vibrates and acts like it's turning on (i.e. shows TCL and then the battery) but MTK Meta never shows the phone connecting and it times out. What is going on? Am I missing a step?

      purpleicing Perhaps the driver is wrong. In device manager select View > Show hidden devices. Do you see the MediaTek Preloader VCOM under Ports (COM & LPT)?

            ~Hi [Login to see the link]

            wrt your steps below, I am unable to get to fast boot after steps 1 & 2. In MTK META utility, the status is "usb device inserted(\?.......) In the device manager I see that the "MT65xx preloader" device briefly appears & goes away. What additional steps are required?

            TIA,~~

            Resolved - COM drivers are required for MTK tool to boot up into fastboot mode.

            neutronscott I don't even see a Ports (COM & LPT) option in Device Manager. This led me down another rabbit hole of why I don't see those and I wasn't able to get it working. Any tips are appreciated but I feel you have already helped enough.

              My instructions left out drivers. Please check the first post for Darth's thread that has links and more detail

              I also discovered that the reason why most MTK tools don't work, is because the Media Tek 6739 chip is running a different firmware then most chips, which is patched against most payloads and requires the correct, modified driver agent.

                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

                      techy Try his new MouseV2. It should superseed these instructions ([Login to see the link]) I have verified that new mouse works with adb access, But I dont know a way to run the mouse binary from the UI which makes this whole setup tethered atm.

                          pasus once installed as a magisk module and rebooted it should always run.

                            Hi all, newbie here.
                            I'm trying to remove some of the apps through adb.
                            I know this is only a temporary solution until there is a hard reset but for my purposes, it's sufficient.

                            I was able to remove the Browser and the email apps but I'm running into issues with removing the messaging and camera apps.

                            I ran the following 2 commands:
                            adb shell pm suspend --user 0 com.android.mms.service
                            And
                            adb shell pm suspend --user 0 com.android.mms

                            They both came back "True".

                            The issue is the icon still is visible. When you click on it, it says "App isn't available" "messages isn't available right now. This is managed by Shell."
                            I'm also essentially fine with that. But when I text the phone, it is pops up in notifications and you can read the message. When you try to click on the message, it goes back to "App isn't available".

                            Any ideas on how to fully remove the app?

                                Is there any launcher you guys found alternative to stock "launcher3"? I tried Nova launcher & it seems to list all installed apps. But it is made for touch UI which makes it difficult to customize.

                                Niagara launcher works well for flip2

                                  phones calls by:

                                  • pressing call button - yes
                                  • speed dial - no (niagara over rides), but vMouse2 still works using * toggle button

                                    pasus [Login to see the link] I got the mouse working (works great btw!)
                                    I still need to be able to remap/free up some of the keys to be able to use for other things, e.g. voice access.
                                    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

                                        lgexalter1 Thanks for replying. How do I go about doing that? adb or from within the phone?
                                        This is what [Login to see the link] wrote on Github
                                        I replaced key 138 FAVORITE_CONTACTS with key 138 FOCUS which disables the built-in function of the * key. (You can also change QUICK_DIAL in mtk-kpd.kl but I wouldn't touch the volume/power key!) Now that it does nothing we can assign it a function with an accessibility app.
