    MXRJR For listing apps and installing apps ask on the other thread. These Roms that I made dont allow for app installation even with [Login to see the link] img. [Login to see the link] made an app that works as a shortcut for dialing the keypad code which you can use one of your directional keys to launch, again I think thats posted on the other thread!

    While attempting to flash one of the roms, I'm having weird issues. mtk meta boots it into fastboot mode, but there I run into issues. This is whats happening.
    (It does prompt me to unlock using volume keys, which I do.)
    `C:\Users\g\Documents\My Programs\adb\platform-tools>fastboot flashing unlock
    FAILED (Write to device failed (no link))
    fastboot: error: Command failed

    C:\Users\g\Documents\My Programs\adb\platform-tools>fastboot flashing unlock
    FAILED (remote: 'unknown command')
    fastboot: error: Command failed

    C:\Users\g\Documents\My Programs\adb\platform-tools>fastboot flashing unlock
    (bootloader) Start unlock flow

    OKAY [ 0.006s]

    C:\Users\g\Documents\My Programs\adb\platform-tools>fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta vbmeta.bin
    (bootloader) Start unlock flow

    Rewriting vbmeta struct at offset: 0
    Sending 'vbmeta' (1024 KB) FAILED (remote: 'GetVar Variable Not found')
    fastboot: error: Command failed

    C:\Users\g\Documents\My Programs\adb\platform-tools>fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta vbmeta.bin`

    If anyone has any ideas I'd be grateful....

      whynot C:\Users\Username\Desktop\platform-tools_r33.0.2-windows\platform-tools

      thats what it is

      [Login to see the link] I was having issues flashing super on my T-Mobile 4058 using the recovery method, getting this error:

      adb: error: failed to copy 'super.bin' to '/dev/block/mmcblk0p41': remote write failed: No space left on device

      After much back and forth, I found the issue. I ran:

      adb shell readlink /dev/block/by-name/super
      //And it returned: 
      /dev/block/mmcblk0p42

      So I ran the commands as mmcblk0p42, and it worked.

        Biden2020prez The bad news is, the super I tried flashing was one that I resigned every system app, and:
        I bricked my phone. It's a boot loop. The strange part is that I can't even boot to recovery.

        So now I am flashing this via fastboot:

        darth [Login to see the link]: Removes: Browser, Email, and Hotspot. Includes: Waze, Weather, and Siddur.

        If it's still bricked, I'll do a full firmware reflash using FuriousGold. (I'll keep you posted.)

        Edit: I ran fastboot flash super super.bin, and now it seems to be stuck on the free filter bootanimation. I guess I'll reflash the full firmware.

            Biden2020prez If it boots to the bootanimation then you might want to try to do a reset from recovery and see if it boots.

            Biden2020prez Interesting that it has a different block layout.

                techy Change the wire? It looks like you might have a bad connection.

                    Version 1.2 is being rolled out.
                    Changelog:

                    • Removed Video from gallery in some Roms
                    • Added a Hebrew keyboard (with a shortcut to switch between keyboards because the Hebrew doesn't have t9)
                    • Voice Access is activated automatically (No need for adb commands)
                    • Allowed the Up directional key shortcut to work
                    • Switched weather app to the stock weather app from the 4058l
                    • New look!
                    • I think I fixed the usb not connecting bug
                    • Added more safeguards to prevent apps that are not from my Rom

                    Important info: If you are upgrading from the previous version the mouse is run a little differently, you need to reflash the boot.img that is packaged with the Roms.
