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)

I keep trying to push my new bootanimation.zip using the command "adb push bootanimation.zip /product/media" and it keeps responding "remote couldn't create file: Read-only file system", even though I did [Login to see the link]'s instructions

darth

ZTEGuy Your not going to have root access unless you are in shell. You can try pushing it to /sdcard/ and then in a root shell try copying it to /product/media. Good luck!

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.

ZTEGuy

darth how do you copy in shell

ZTEGuy

darth I just disabled dm-verity

darth

ZTEGuy Ok good to know, I will add that to my zip...

Biden2020prez

On the cricket and tmobile versions, all 4 dpad keys can be customized.

darth Settings>About Phone>Software information>Software version

ZTEGuy

SamFried

I heard that TAG is already filtering the phone...

Biden2020prez

SamFried yes, This was discussed upthread (please read all 570 posts before posting 🙂 )
disclaimer: that was a joke

ZTEGuy

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

ZTEGuy

Biden2020prez Lol this thread is getting huge

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

ZTEGuy
