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

darth Thanks, the more clear we can be on providing instructions, the less questions we'll have to field (hopefully). Too bad you can't provide a link to brains...

Techgen I don't think we should spend too much time on instructions because hopefully we will have a kosher firmware which will be preferable.

Techgen A few frum cell phone store owners said they are going to start stocking up on the tcl flip 2 now that a good free kosher option looks doable. I’m not sure if that’s why Amazon’s out of stock but you never know.

I plan on working on a simple thorough guide for the main apps4flip site but I plan on waiting until we have the full kosher rom to do it so I don’t have to write the guide up twice

What happens when you initiate recovery mode?

chaimzalman Want to explain your question?

Biden2020prez if you remove the browser you can still reset the phone?

Yes. We are working on a way to allow Factory reset but keep browser removed.

Darth your link for drivers was removed because of violation of google drive terms. I had the same issue when i uploaded. Try putting it in a zip

Apps4Flip-Admin I was thinking the same.
Maybe it's better to keep it a little complicated in the meantime...

dovwcom Note 2: a4fmouse.apk from the Apps4Flip site click on selections doesn't work for me

the mouse doesn't work on android 11 phones

ZTEGuy I know about that bug and nevertheless a) Genymotion's scrcpy works like a treat when I have the luxury of using adb and b) [Login to see the link] 's grab binary together with the script run as nohup to enable virtual mouse from the Quickdial works even untethered (not attached to PC) for the most part except that among other things it doesn't do scroll up so I tried to use a4fmouse.apk together with it because I knew that has an a4f scroll mode but it didn't work at all neither with [Login to see the link] 's script toggled nor without unlike scrcpy that just works regardless

dovwcom In general removing with adb is not a great way to remove the browser and make a phone kosher. The best way to do it is to remount the system as read write and remove the actual browser and email apks. This way even if you reset the browser and email apps are still removed.

darth Apps4Flip-Admin I understand. So 2 questions:

1) Taking the features from the original FilterLG filter and applying them here I have marked the features that I understand are in your ROM with an x and left the rest with just a dash beforehand please comment if different:

FilterLG app basics
X Blocks internet access on the device (no browser even after reset)
x Blocks installing additional apps
– Blocks software updates
– Blocks ability to wipe/reset the device
– Blocks using device as a hotspot
– Blocks using a public wifi
– Blocks using voice commands
– Blocks setting a pin code on the device
– Blocks encrypting/decrypting the device
– Blocks Safe/Recovery/Download modes
– Enforced wallpaper on the device

Extras
x Block Email (even after reset)
x Block Text Messaging (even after reset)
X No Gallery (this feature in tcl408dl ROM and not filterlg)
– Block Video Player
– Block SD Card
– Block Camera
– Block Bluetooth

2) Would the FilterLG safely work on the TCL408dl out of the box?
