techy im still not sure why the matrix file worked. And i still cant get the mtk file to work.
[Login to see the link] how can i use the chmod command that you've referenced?

    lgexalter1 I was wondering about that too, however, it says 0 by The Matrix file too and that one worked so I assumed it was nothing.

    Regardless, what do you think is the issue?

        Biden2020prez Was not working for me. Was the phone supposed to be powered off like when using mtkmeta?

          lgexalter1 Thank you for working with me. I really appreciate it.
          I ran
          `platform-tools>adb push matrix-keypad.kl /data/local/tmp
          matrix-keypad.kl: 1 file pushed, 0 skipped. 0.0 MB/s (400 bytes in 0.064s)

          platform-tools>adb push mtk-kpd.kl /data/local/tmp
          mtk-kpd.kl: 1 file pushed, 0 skipped. 0.0 MB/s (72 bytes in 0.048s)

          platform-tools>adb shell
          Gflip6_TF:/ $ su
          Gflip6_TF:/ # mount -o rw,remount /
          Gflip6_TF:/ # rm /system/usr/keylayout/matrix-keypad.kl
          Gflip6_TF:/ # rm /system/usr/keylayout/mtk-kpd.kl
          Gflip6_TF:/ # cp /data/local/tmp/matrix-keypad.kl /system/usr/keylayout
          Gflip6_TF:/ # cp /data/local/tmp/mtk-kpd.kl /system/usr/keylayout
          Gflip6_TF:/ # cd /system/usr/keylayout
          Gflip6_TF:/system/usr/keylayout # chown root:root matrix-keypad.kl
          Gflip6_TF:/system/usr/keylayout # chown root:root mtk-kpd.kl
          Gflip6_TF:/system/usr/keylayout # chmod u=rw,g=r,o=r matrix-keypad.kl
          Gflip6_TF:/system/usr/keylayout # chmod u=rw,g=r,o=r mtk-kpd.kl
          Gflip6_TF:/system/usr/keylayout # reboot`
          However, it didn't work, and now I lost all the keys including the ones from Matrix.
          Am I doing something wrong?

              lgexalter1 would the original neutron.img work, or do I need a full super?
              I don't want a kosher rom. (I use manage engine, allows me to have many more apps)

                lgexalter1 Thats what I thought. Do you know where I can get one?
                Also, do I need to run this?

                        techy Email me at [Login to see the link] . I will help you with the keypads. Those are instructions for installing custom recovery which allows for a much faster flashing of super, its not a prerequisite for flashing super. And if you have the neutron-novb boot img then you shouldnt need to do the disable commands.

                                neutronscott I tried flashing this custom ROM and for some reason, I couldn't find magisk after I flashed it (I also suspect that I flashed it in a wrong way, because it only took 1 sec to flash it.)
                                When I flash it it says Sending 'boot' (24576 KB) OKAY [ 1.365s]
                                Writing 'boot' OKAY [ 0.524s]
                                Finished. Total time: 1.915s

                                      Reifam You flashed a boot.img, not a super.img, it does only take a second to flash a boot.img.

                                        tried to install vmouse2 with magisk and got error
                                        "copying zip to temp directory
                                        unzip error"

                                        can somebody explain what I did wrong?

                                          once i allow installing apps is there a way to re-disable it?

                                          Reifam sometimes the prop that allows apk installs doesn't catch and you need to reboot again.

                                              Anyone tested any versions of the phone on verizon yet? If so, which one. (Not total by verizon, unless that works on regular verizon too). Will the rooting work on that version?
                                              Also, anyone know if there is a way to root it from a Mac (with mtk utilities) not PC?

                                              Hi again. Thanks to [Login to see the link], I now have my keys back. However, I'm still in the same place where I started. I still can't change the keys. Seems like I can't write to system.
                                              I suspect it may have something to do with

                                              neutronscott flashboot flash lk lk-neutron.img
                                              mount -o rw,remount /
                                              rm -rf /system/app/Chromium
                                              reboot. see if it's gone.

                                              but I can't figure out how to run those commands.
