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)

Hi I'm new to this:

/vendor/bin/write_protect 0

where do I run this from?
Thanks!

techy

neutronscott Thank you for replying. I don't really understand....
I would need a practical example of how to apply that.

techy

darth Can you share an unmodified super? I tried rebooting as you suggested, and now none of my keys work 😥

darth

techy What did you do exactly? Did you try just reflashing one of the ROMs I posted in my [Login to see the link]?

0x7 Run adb shell then run su You should get a popup from the magisk app to allow shell root permission. You can also go into the magisk app and allow shell to have root access (once you have run su in adb shell).

Thanks! I followed the wiki with fastboot and the neutron.img. I installed Magisk and can install apps via adb, however when I try to do adb shell su, it says permission denied.

techy

darth I flashed neutronscotts original rom. Before you released any of your own. I then attempted to free up the star/Favorites key, to use it for other things, e.g. voice access.

darth

Thanks this worked!

I noticed after I used the neutron.img, my keyboard app is now called 12Key-Keyboard, is there a way to get the original T9 keyboard app and set that as the default keyboard?

Also, I installed the vMouse2. One thing I haven't been able to figure out how to do is "Swipe Up", when I receive calls on WhatsApp, it says I need to swipe up in order to answer.

Thanks in advance 🙂

darth

techy [Login to see the link] are my keymap files from system/usr/keylayout I changed the favorites key and the quick dial key.

Hi1

darth how do I activate this keymap?

techy

darth Thank you.
Still not working though...

darth

Hi1 Just swap those out for the ones in system/usr/keylayout. This can be done if you have root access with rw or through the custom recovery.

Is there a way to change one of the apps on the home launcher (I removed the browser so now I have a empty space)?
I unpacked the apk Launcher3 and found the xml file that lists the packages to display, I changed it and repacked, but installing it isn't working. I also tried to replace Launcher3.apk in system/priv-app/Launcher3 using FX with root r/w but it wouldn't copy. I don't really know what I'm doing, any help?

On 4058W T-Mobile Variant

sdmde

XanderXF resign with lucky patcher

darth

XanderXF Im trying to do the same thing, so far all ive done is just changed the apps package name to the one I deleted or one of the extra ones in the arrays.xml. Can you send me the stock launcher3 from your phone [Login to see the link]? (Im using the Tracfone variant and I just want to see if there are differences)

sdmde Can you explain? I have pulled launcher3, uninstalled the system/priv-app/launcher3 and am currently running my stock launcher3 as a data/app. It works fine after being installed as a data app. I am trying to just change icons located in res/drawable-mdpi/ , I have a new icon with the same resolution and same name and I replaced the original icon png. But when i build and install the apk it just crashes...
