  • Instructions for installing a kosher ROM on TCL Flip2/Classic T408DL

Apps4Flip-Admin
Can you please add the following to the end of step 6?

If you see "Invalid sparse file format at header magic" after entering fastboot flash super super.bin, you can ignore it safely.

    If I factory reset the phone will browser etc.. come back?

    I would like The "talk only" with Waze only. is that an option or we need to build another rom for that?

                darth what's the difference between the recovery2.img and flashing super without recovery2.img (I'm talking about the kashrus)?

                    Hi1 I agree a new keyboard would be great, If you know of any good t9 12key keyboards that possibly also have the ability to install other langauges please share and I would try to add them in.

                    Hi1 As far as the actual Rom themselves and the functionality and kosher of the phone there is no difference the potential issue with having the recovery2.img is that it is a potential backdoor.

                    boruch meir I added 'With Apps Option 3' which removed texting, keeps gallery, and has Waze.

                      I really just want the "Talk Only" option, but "Waze" only added.

                          Just filtered my first phone and looks great!
                          Just to put it out there for novices; if you wanted to leave the images in their folders and then just direct ADB to the correct path you can do that also. Additionally, you can also rename the super.bin for each type if you were planning on filtering more than one phone, and then just replace with your selected name in the command.

                          Just want to know if [Login to see the link] would be interested in me creating a new custom splash screen that will look more official and pleasing. If you want send me the specs you need and I'll do my best. (I am not a graphics designer or anything, but I could probably conjure up something nice)

                          Also, I hate to be nitpicky over the apps, but if you would be able to make options 1&2 with a sefardi siddur Like the one posted on apps4flip [Login to see the link], it would really be appreciated!

                              Flippy Thanx for the feedback! As far as a boot animation it needs to have a resolution of 240x320. It is made up of a bunch of pics played quickly (and the final pic plays on repeat until booting is finished), if you gave it to me as a gif I could use that also. I will try to switch the siddur when I have the time...

                                  [Login to see the link] Can you change the default messaging app to a other one, for Example google messages.
                                  Thanks.

                                  Why am I not able to set USB connection to File Transfer, it stays on Charging?
                                  Is there a way to fix that?

                                  Thank you!

                                      rock If debugging is on you can't change it.

                                        meir I have no problem changing it not sure what you are talking about

                                            ZTEGuy I had a problem changing it when I was in debugging mode and plugged in.

                                              rock I have encountered that issue, it had gone away for me a little while later. Which Rom are you using? Try rebooting and seeing if the phone connects as File Transfer.

                                                I think it would be helpful if you would preface each ROM name with either "Talk Only" or "Talk&Text" and keep the talk only and talk and text ROMs separate. I formatted it below, but I don't know if I got the Talk Only and Talk&Text parts correct.
