Look, I led you to water, but it's up to you to drink it. Read what I told you to read, and make your own decision as to which collection is right for you. Hint: According to the download statistics on the right side, Core is the most commonly downloaded.

    (Forgive me if this has been mentioned elsewhere, but 1350+ posts in is hard to scroll through and I didn't find this when I conducted a search.) There are some awesome features that are available on AOSP 11. The System UI Tuner is not available by default, but will be if you use this command adb shell am start com.android.systemui/com.android.systemui.DemoMode

    I was able to edit (get rid of) some of the icons in the status bar (I don't need to know my hotspot is on, it's practically always on). I need to figure out how to add the temp icon from the weather app up there. And the native Do Not Disturb also becomes available. I haven't been able to test it yet, but if I can use that and delete another app, that's good for me. On the downside, as soon as you exit out of the interface, you have to ADB to get it going again. But ideally, you only need to use it once.

    Also, found out quite accidentally, SCRCPY on webadb basically gives the smartphone experience. What I mean is, usually when I'm on a call, I can't do anything else. BUT with webadb, I was able to run commands and with SCRCPY confirm they ran, while remaining connected to my call! (note: must have debugging turned on before the call for this to work)

    ETA: The stock DND is very basic, there's no scheduler, and even though I told it to allow alarms, the alarm didn't sound for me. So I will stick to my DND app. Also the temp from the weather app will appear in the icon bar if you goto developers options, and turn on System UI Demo Mode (different interface than the command above).

      TARDIS You can access system ui demo mode from developer options. For going home from a call, its a bit more tricky but you can map a button to it (or use scrcpy if you want) or run "adb shell input keyevent HOME"

          Biden2020prez As I stated above: These are two different option menus.

          The one you are talking about is basically "on or off" which if you like having it on, you only need to worry about when you reboot the phone. But yes, would be fairly easy to map since it 'exists' in the menu. Screen Shot of the one you're talking about: [Login to see the link]

          The one I gave the command for, doesn't come up in any menu list (not Launcher 3, not in any settings (usually under About Phone - where the Developer Options appears), not in developer settings. The interface for this one lets you make individual icons either display or not display in the status bar. Screen shots of the new one: [Login to see the link] [Login to see the link]

          Per things I've read online (yes for smartphones, not much out there for flips with AOSP 11) it should get it's own menu item, but it doesn't on the Flip 2 for some reason.

          ETA: Links to screen shots

            OK, after finding that the 64-bit Magisk GApps module likely will not work with the 32-bit armv7l T408DL, I looked for another path to GApps. Unfortunately I won't be able to test it for another month, until my phone becomes carrier unlocked, when I'll be willing to try things. Hopefully someone else can try it in the meantime and report back.

            There is a Magisk module called Magic Flash [Login to see the link]. When installed in Magisk, a command shell (like "adb shell") should have access to a "flash" command line that will install zips, just like a custom recovery. There is a XDA post about it [Login to see the link].

            Once the "flash" command is available, my hope is that it would be able to install GApps, like the OpenGApps for arm 11 available [Login to see the link].

            Again, I'm not able to test it right now. Good luck to whoever does.

              I have the 4085W rooted with neutronscott's img, and just recently when I open the phone the screen randomly turns all white or changes orientation or other graphic malfunctions. If I restart the phone while open it goes back to normal for a while. Anyone have the same issue or any ideas to help?

              hyperactiv Yes, I have mine working with Xfinity mobile. It defaulted to the VZWINTERNET APN.

                Hey guys, sorry to ask, but I have been readin the thread for what seems like HOURs now, and have so many posts yet to read...

                Can Google Voice be run on this phone? I know it probably requires Play Services, but could that be handled with Magisk GApps? That's really the only app I want on this phone. TIA!

                  Near as I can tell, the 16GB and 8GB are identical (I have one of each), except for the storage size. In a month after it carrier unlocks, I'll be trying [Login to see the link]'s root. If that works, I would expect the koshering roms to work as well.

                      Flippy

                      I simply don't want to risk any changes affecting the carrier unlock. Plus I'm patient.

                        (When I start modding, I plan to backup partitions using "adb pull" or "dd" before any big changes so I can fall back, if necessary. I'll definitely do this before GApps.)

                            UPTHECREAK after using the phone for some time I have a few suggestions for improvements/bug fixes that i thought might be worthwhile to post (though i haven't a clue if any are feasible)
                            1) A way to easily export all contacts
                            --When i select all and try to share, it says 'you should select less than 100 contacts'

                            I have fixed this issue. [Login to see the link] of the modified apk. It allows for the sharing of up to 10,000 contacts at a time. It may take some time to open bluetooth settings once share is pressed but if you have patience you will be able to share all of your contacts.
