    dovwcom I have also blocked: Software updates, Using public wifi. As far as video player thats included in gallery, I can block camera if people wanted, you can wipe or reset device but it wont change any of the settings in place. I dont think this phone has voice commands (and why would you want to block that?)

    What else do people want blocked? Does anyone really want to blovk Camera or Bluetooth or Wallpaper? I can look into blocking hotspot and pin code.

    If anyone has any other recommendations of what they want please let me know. I am not going to be making any ROMs with apps like Waze until I have an easy solution for activating the mouse.

        darth lgexalter1 - I understand that the rationale and method of the FilterLG which uses device management is different than a custom ROM - I saw they have a large list of features and so used that to verify what was and was not done - as it turns out you also blocked software updates (which is expected and understood) and public WiFi which is an extra feature that I discovered by asking 🙂

              Flippy It opens a popup that can be used possibly as a browser

                    ZTEGuy Oh I (should've) know that.

                        Flippy yes, it's like an IAB (in-app-browser)

                          XanderXF great question. Good chance it will, but might not. I would suggest first backing up your super partition. If you need help with that email me [Login to see the link]

                              Can anyone tell me exactly on witch Alcatel models I can use this custom rom? And if I can't use them on all will the suspend adb command work on all Alcatels?

                                  Hi1 This has only been tested on the t408dl. It may work on the 4058's but I would tell you to backup super before you do that, if you need help with that email me at [Login to see the link] . The suspend command will work on any of the 4058's. Afaik all other Alcatel models run KaiOs so it wont work (except for one old verizon alcatel flip)

                                    darth The MTK Drivers link expired. Can you please upload it to google drive or send a link to the correct drivers?

                                      After a 'kosher rom' is on, can apps still be installed?

                                        ChaseChiller debends what boot img ur using with stock no

                                          So how do I get an app enabled boot image?

                                            is hot spot allowed with the "talk and text" kosher rom? does it just remove browser/email or other apps too?

                                            after installing the kosher rom, will the phone be unlocked to the bands that is is capable of? (if it was TracFone, will it take Verizon right away?)

                                            Well.... I can never make it through the last step. I always receive this error when trying to flash the super.bin

                                            Invalid sparse file format at header magic
                                            Sending sparse 'boot' 1/12 (130964 KB) OKAY [ 4.459s]
                                            Writing 'boot' FAILED (remote: 'sparse image size span overflow.')

                                              darth [Login to see the link]: No Browser or Email, added Voice Access.

                                              Can you make a version with email, and a few added apps (waze+weather etc.)
                                              What about hotspot, is it blocked?
                                              Is software reset blocked? Or will it reset to the same software thats running (no browser)?

                                                    darth your giving instructions gow to install the kosher rom and after finishing the instructions you have 2 links talk only or talk and text so my question is what is the default kosher rom if I just follow the instructions?

                                                        ChaseChiller this thread is for kosher ROMs that don't allow app installation - if you're looking for a ROM that doesn't have any restrictions [Login to see the link] created two boot images which do allow apps to be installed - and his work is linked to by darth in the OP of the currently 700+ thread that started this all.

                                                        Hi1 if you follow instructions in the first instruction you'll extract the super.bin from one of the two ROMs linked to at the end which are the talk only ROM and the talk and text ROM so obviously whichever of those two you take the super.bin out of will be the ROM you get 🙂

                                                        darth your instructions have flashing the super.bin which by default may take 35-45 minutes - is there any reason that you haven't updated your instructions to suggest first flashing [Login to see the link] 's recovery.bin which cuts flashing the super.bin down to less than two minutes?
