Hi everyone, we are trying to make updates to the main apps page on apps4flip.com. We can only ensure good apps get posted if you help out! In this thread we'll post apps for you to test. Please leave feedback, and tell us your phone model. Thanks!

Apps Available for Testing: Waze - Biden2020prez Waze with a pointer - Biden2020prez Apps4FlipLauncher - Biden2020prez Hill climb Racing - Biden2020prez

Our first app for testing is Waze. This Waze is a better screen resolution for flip phones and also is 40mb only. Please reply with the model phone you tried, and your success. Did it get your location okay? Is the size okay? Please confirm with us that there are no in app browsers!!! Be detailed and enjoy! Thanks! https://filetransfer.io/data-package/SOWCFE8G#link

Also everyone feel free to provide feedback on the Five new apps on bottom of https://apps4flip.com/apps and also the new design! Thanks again!

Biden2020prez Tested on lg exalt: location was spot on had a hard time navigating, but I'm only using voice access. seems to be resolution cut off some info when searching for a destination, see attached photo.

MXRJR thanks for feedback. File.io deletes after one person clicks. Please upload to imgbb.com, choose bbcode, then copy to your post.

Biden2020prez got it, i uploaded like you said.

MXRJR Thank you so much for your descriptive feedback! I'm glad location works well! Would it help if I made a version with a cursor? (Also, are having trouble setting up mouse feel free to email me: biden2020prez@gmail.com , and I'll help you out). Not sure I know how to fix that resolution problem unfortunately 🙁. Please confirm 2 more things: Were you able to access any in app browsers? Overall, would you say this is better or worse than the current one? Should we switch to this one? Thanks again for feedback!!

I tried out the google maps from the website on my classic and it works perfectly

[Beta Testing] - Test our apps before they are uploaded to Apps4Flip

Hi, I am releasing 2 apps customized for the TCL Flip 2. They have not been tested on any other device!

I have rewritten the Hebrew Keyboard. It is customized for the TCL Flip
It integrates well with the built-in keyboard, you switch between the 2 with a long press #
No, the keyboard does NOT have any T9 typing! If you want to T9 type in English, you long-press # to switch back to the built-in keyboard, and vice-versa.
[Login to see the link]
It is suggested to first uninstall any custom keyboard that you may have installed.
You will also have to adb shell pm grant com.android.cts.hebkey android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
I have created a sub-launcher for the TCL Flip. It mimics the tools page in the main launcher. It is for use only on Kosher phones without Browsers, as it installs as the Browser package, so it should show up on the default launcher, and act like the tools menu. DOo NOT install it on a phone that has a Browser! By default, it will show all user-installed apps, plus any apps hard coded in the array resource. The user can add/remove apps from the list.

In addition, I have updated autobooter.exe from the Apps4Flip team members. This avoids the need for risky and expiring MTKMETAUtility, and is much simpler, though you will still need MTK Drivers. This new version works with multiple ports, and also returns errorlevel, so that it can be used in batch files. I included a sample batch file.

Looking forward to nice comments 🥲 ,

UPDATE Feb/8/23

I updated autobooter, and added a python script and example for Linux (and should hopefully work on Mac too), in addition to the original Windows version. To use you will first have to install pyserial package by calling python3 -m pip install pyserial. Then to use, just call sudo python3 autobooter.py, and only afterwards plug in a turned off phone.

lionscribe As per the launcher, I "uninstalled the browser" on my Alcatel Go Flip V by following [Login to see the link] post, so the browser technically exists, so I can't install the launcher (because as you said it's the same package name). When I try adb shell pm uninstall in gives me back Failure [DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR]. Do you know of a way to actually uninstall the browser?

I tested the Hebrew Keyboard on the LG exalt and on the Kyocera duraXV E4810
On the Kyocera it worked amazing but I had to install [Login to see the link] just to turn on the Hebrew Keyboard the first time and on the LG I could long press the # to change to Hebrew and back to the default but when it was on Hebrew if I clicked on the * or the # it didn't work and it crashed the keyboard and I needed to take out the battery and restart the phone

lionscribe The link for the TCL sub-launcher doesn't work anymore. Are you able to re-post it?

FliphoneBochur

bl_apps4flip You can use [Login to see the link]'s modified Sub-Launcher. You could download it [Login to see the link]. If you removed the browser package, install the browser package, and it will show up in that spot on the main launcher. More info here lionscribe (that post was the original version. I linked to the last version posted).

Awesome Work [Login to see the link] !!

Can we post these on the TCL Flip page on the main site?

lionscribe

Apps4Flip-Admin
Yes, with pleasure.

The reason we chose to use the Browser Package, as that way it will be shown on the launcher page. If you want, and know how to edit apks, you can change the package name to another name that would show up in launcher (There is an ATT app that shows up of exists, but usually does not exist, will have to look up later package name), recompile and sign the app and install.

FliphoneBochur

lionscribe If I try the uninstall command on any preinstalled app, I get Failure [DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR], so for any preinstalled app that I removed, I used disable-user. I'm asking if you know of any way to actually remove the browser (and any other pre-installed) package (instead of just changing the package state), so I could get your app to work.

lionscribe

FliphoneBochur
Only if you have root. You may also be able to do it on Recovery Mode of you can get there, but also complicated.
I wrote it for theTCL Flip 2, were there are kosher roms out without browser at all.
If someone can pull the Launcher APK from the Go Flip and send it to me, I will take a look what alternate package name we can use. In addition, I never tested it on Go Flip, but we can try.

FliphoneBochur

lionscribe Launcher as in launcher3 (the default)?

lionscribe

FliphoneBochur Yes.

lionscribe

FliphoneBochur
Well, I checked on the Launcher3 for the TCL Flip 2, and it will show an app with package 'com.att.deviceunlock'. So if your Launcher is not showing an AT&T app (assuming it is not an AT&T phone), chances are that it is not installed. Now assuming the Go Flip V has the same settings in the Launcher, then we can use the 'com.att.deviceunlock' package.
I have repackaged the app for testing. Get it at

Please let me know if it works. Probably the icon will be some AT&T icon, but at least it may work. Again, the app was not tested on the GO Flip.

I have now updated both apps. I tried to make them a little more compatible with other devices.
The new launcher can be gotten at
[Login to see the link]
It now has 2 versions,

Browser package version for Kosher Phones that have the Browser completely removed.
ATT DeviceUnlock package version that can be used on Non-ATT devices, that do not have the ATT DeviceUnlock App.

As for the HebKey Keyboard app, I made it more friendly to other accessibility Apps (like the Mouse App). You can get it at
[Login to see the link]

Please let me know how it works.

a-one What device is this? Glad to see it worked using the "com.att.deviceunlock" package. The reason I didn't use it in the first place, is first of all, would not work on ATT devices (which have the unlock app installed), plus it has an incompatible icon look (the icon is provided by the launcher app, it does not take it from the app...). The Browser icon, on the other hand, does look somehow like an app icon. But as long as works...

is there any way someone can make a app like this for lg classic flip

a-one

lionscribe it's the TCL Flip 2 from TracFone (t408dl) and I like it this way because it looks like you need to click to unlock the apps.

Biden2020prez

lionscribe its funny. AT&T didn't have this phone for a long time. But looking through the launcher it seemed they were going to. now they finally releaased it.

I am glad you quoted me, that it was only designed and tested for the TCL Flip 2.
On the Kyocera, what happened when you enabled the HebKey Keyboard in the HebKey app?
As for the LG, can you send me a logcat of the LG crashing?

a-one

lionscribe on the Kyocera it didn't work till after I enabled the Keyboard with keyboard switcher because the ADB command is only to change the language with the # and if the keyboard is not enabled it doesn't work on that phone and for the LG I don't know how to send a logcat

a-one

lionscribe On the Kyocera, what happened when you enabled the HebKey Keyboard in the HebKey app?

I disabled it now and when I enabled it, it didn't work and I realized that the accebility access for the kco mouse was removed so I granted accebility permission for the kco mouse and the Hebrew Keyboard started to work again but it was disabled In the app and it worked so when I enabled it in the app it still worked but when I disabled and enabled it again the same issue happened that the Hebrew Keyboard didn't work and the kco mouse lost the accebility permission so I think it has something to do with the kco mouse because when I turned it on the first time with the keyboard switcher I used the kco mouse and I didn't checked if it worked after I turned on the kco mouse so it make sence that it works perfect even without the keyboard switcher but In my case that I have installed the kco mouse it doesn't work properly together with the Hebrew Keyboard

a-one

a-one so basically what I'm saying that once the Hebrew Keyboard has permission and works if it's not disabled in the app it will work perfectly on the Kyocera duraXV E4810

Biden2020prez

lionscribe thanks. good work. just so you know, com.att.deviceunlock is not going to show up in most phones' launchers. only the tcl flip uses that launcher. What you can do is add a notification listener and create a notification (on boot completed) so the app can be launched from notifications. Another less friendly way would be to make a broadcast reciever, with intent filer android.telephony.SECRET_CODE and make a host whichever phone number you want. then you can launch it using a *#*#1234#*#* code.

I made smali for both of those options, so I can add it and reupload if you want.

Could you change the switch key to number 5 key because some default keyboards like the LG has is when long press # key goes to the next line and if the HebKey is enabled the only way now to go to the next line will be to switch to the Hebrew Keyboard and and click 3 times the 0 key then switch back to the default keyboard?

SamFried

lionscribe
i just tested on the Kyocera E4610 the only problem is that the space button on kyocera is # not 0.
so when you enable the keyboard you cant use the space button on the default keyboard.

i would recommend that you should change in the app all settings from # to the 0 button and vice versa, so the keyboard should be launched by long pressing 0 and it should be great...

Thanks for your amazing work
