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?

      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.

          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.

              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.

                  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.

                      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...

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

                            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

                                a-one
                                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?

                                    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.

                                      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

                                          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 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

                                                  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,

                                                  1. Browser package version for Kosher Phones that have the Browser completely removed.
                                                  2. 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

                                                        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.

                                                          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.
