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)

lgexalter1 I thought your keys aren't working?
Used adb shell monkey -p com.jasonkung.launcher3 1 to launch my launcher (launcher<3) and used scrcpy.
THANK YOU! the Matrix file worked Gflip6_TF:/ # chown root:root /system/usr/keylayout/matrix-keypad.kl Gflip6_TF:/ # chown root:root /system/usr/keylayout/mtk-kpd.kl Gflip6_TF:/ # cd /system/usr/keylayout Gflip6_TF:/system/usr/keylayout # ls -l total 616 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 20 2022-06-13 07:58 gpio_keys.kl -rw-rw---- 1 root root 0 2022-06-13 18:18 matrix-keypad.kl -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2022-06-13 18:20 mtk-kpd.kl -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2410 2022-06-13 07:58 qwerty.kl Gflip6_TF:/system/usr/keylayout #

But the mtk-kpd didn't
adb shell su chown root:root /system/usr/keylayout/mtk-kpd.kl chown: '/system/usr/keylayout/mtk-kpd.kl' to 'root:root': Read-only file system
What should I do?

techy

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?

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...

sdmde

darth ok i think the issue is the TracFone variant is just more sensitive because Biden can mod it but i think hes using cricket. so get that version of launcher but techy is using a dif launcher all together

XanderXF

darth m 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

Did that work? What's easiest way to change the package name?
I also uninstalled stock Launcher3, then was able to install my edited version but it kept crashing

sdmde

sdmde never mind i did it

I've been working with [Login to see the link] and [Login to see the link] and we made a program that automatically boots your phone to fastboot (I did the easy part, its mainly their work). Just make sure you have mtk drivers.
Instructions:

Download AutoBooter.exe
Open it, and plug in your phone
Enjoy!
Download: [Login to see the link]

darth

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

mg5077

Biden2020prez Biden2020prez Biden2020prez the link has expired can you (or someone else) repost it
btw its better to use (Dropbox?) or google drive they won't expire

darth

To get into fastboot you can just use the AutoBooter that Biden2020prez made. [Login to see the link]
(If it doesnt work you should make sure in Device Manager>Ports> You should only have 1 MediaTek USB Port, if you have more then one the program wont work, you need to show hidden devices to see them)

techy

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?

techy

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?

techy

neutronscott i believe i did. See here techy

techy

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)

techy

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

darth
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta vbmeta.bin
fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta_system vbmeta_system.bin
fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta_vendor vbmeta_vendor.bin
fastboot flash recovery recovery2.img
fastboot reboot recovery

darth

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.

Hi1

Anybody have a idea how to paste a text with this phone?

mailech

Hi1 "?"

Reifam

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

darth

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

neutronscott

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

Reifam

ZTEGuy It doesn't

breakingnews

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

can somebody explain what I did wrong?

Reifam

breakingnews What command did you use?

lazertech

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