            Would this work for the new Alactel flip2? without flashing the whole device?

              Myi It won't work without flashing first, and after flashing it should work to install, but not to remove the browser since it uses the package names of LG phones.

                  Techgen Correct. And besides for that, the TCL doesn't work with the pm uninstall -k --user 0 command, or any uninstall command for system apps. I think it is a prop, but haven't felt the need to search to much for it.

                      can I download just the phone call recorder from this package?

                        Shaul yes. but u need to download the full exe, and choose the call recorder

                          Biden2020prez This isn't a filter. It merely takes off the browser. It doesn't make the phone kosher. You shouldn't be enabling people to run around with fake 'kosher' phones that can have apps installed, etc.

                              CallMeACynic Appreciate your input. I never claim this replaces a tag filter, and it certainly doesn't provide the same lebel of kashrus. I am not worried of people thinking this is going to give them the same thing as tag. This is for people who will filter their phone using ADB Anyways.

                                  Biden2020prez What if 1 person uses it instead of getting their phone tagged? You don't want that on your cheshbon. Besides for the fact that you don't want to help people do things they shouldn't do, even if they'll do it anyways. And if you decide you really really really want to put it out, at least have a huge disclaimer notice saying that it isn't tagging, explaining why, explaining why it isn't even a filter, and that the gedolei hador have unequivocally stated that everyone should have a properly protected phone, which this won't provide.

                                      CallMeACynic I think you are taking this too far.

                                      This is not being offered as a TAG filter alternative. This is a way to put kosher apps on your phone, and a way to remove the browser, or other unsafe utilities. If it's not good enough for your kashrus level, don't put it on your phone.

                                      Phone filters are not cheap unfortunately, hence the popularity for removing browser and other things via ADB. It can be put back via factory reset, but the TAG filter can be removed even without factory reset. Yes, it's true this still allows factory reset, I have posted in other places on this forum about disabling that.

                                      Umm... I don't look at this as something someone shouldn't do. Many people don't remove the browser from their phone, and this makes it one step easier.


                                      I don't think you realize how many people say "It's a dumbphone anyway, I don't need a filter". I will tell you from personal experience it's a lot of people. And they aren't interested in paying $25+ at TAG for a filter. This can be a great step in the right direction.

                                      I am happy for anyone to get their phone tagged, but at the end of the day, it's not a solution for everyone, and other options should be available. I am happy to be part of an amazing forum of people (including me) working hard to bring amazing kosher options free of charge, and I wont let trolls like you stop us.

                                          CallMeACynic Maybe call me a cynic, but I see that you joined the forum 6 months ago, and you didn't seem to have an issue with not going to TAG then, so I'm not sure what caused your sudden burst of inspiration. The entire apps4flip site is pretty much relying on the fact that you'll remove the browser with ADB, because if you properly TAG your phone you won't be able to have any of the apps on it. [with the exception of the few phones that ppl made kosher roms for]. So I'm not sure why you're beating up on [Login to see the link] , he just automated what you would be doing anyway with the instructions on the apps4flip site.
                                          [And yes, both I and the admins behind apps4flip agree that taking your phone to TAG is generally more secure than the options available on this site, however for those that know themselves, and honestly can say that ADB is good enough, they can have the option to add kosher apps. As it says on the main site, the mission of apps4flip is to prevent ppl from getting a smartphone just becuse they need a few apps. If a father is looking to filter a phone for his son, I would definitly say to take it to TAG and not have apps.]

                                              Techgen But most fathers are not so tech savvy so they dont know the difference when their kid says they removed the browser and show him a phone thats adb removed. lets get real this website is mostly for teenage kids who should absolutely have a real TAG filter (other than the TCL flip kosher ROM). No average person is interested or has time on their hands to figure out ADB etc only kids teenagers
