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
      /system/bin/sh: /data/adb/modules/mymodule: can't execute: Is a directory

            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.

                                techy do you think it's because I may not have disabled dm verity?
                                And if yes, is the only way to disable it to reflash, and lose all my stuff?

                                  davidrozhs I enabled usb debugging by typing ##33284##
                                  Then I ran:
                                  adb shell settings put global development_settings_enabled 1

                                  I dont have the phone in front of me right now so I dont know which setting I changed in the Admin settings

                                  After that I ran:
                                  adb shell pm suspend --user 0 org.chromium.chrome

                                    lgexalter1 Tried ES and FX. they have root, and it still wont work.

                                      lgexalter1 Tried that, and changed it to FOCUS and it said that it saved successfully. But nothing changed, meaning, the star key still opens favorites. So, I went back to matrix-keypad.kl and it was blank. I tried the whole thing again (I had a copy of matrix) and it didn't work.... (Yes, I remounted it as read only)

                                      Thanks for helping out here....

                                          lgexalter1 would you be able to send me the Matrix and mtk folders? They're both empty by me now.
