What broke about it? If the screen broke, you could still control the screen with scrcpy. and use the app I posted here to backup and restore your texts: FliphoneBochur.

lazertech Wrote a post on how to backup and restore your notes. And this post lgexalter1 could help if you want to extract that file to a text file.

Hope that helped!

          Flippy Yes I spoke to them about a filter for TESLA cars. So I have a small word there!
          But they say that they wont do it, I can do it if I want they would probably include it in there filters.

                kolelguy which filters does TAG actually develop themselves? Shouldn't you be speaking to gentech/livigent?

                    Flippy Yes I didn't think a filter company would wanna do such a thing, if I work with TAG I can roll it out to all companies

                      kolelguy Lol. I remember that Tesla filter thing. I could've offered even more than them, because I know it's not going to happen.

                          kolelguy It's not going to happen. The whole car is controlled from that screen it would be super unsafe if it can be hacked... And if you make a mistake.... you bricked a gadget worth tens of thousads of dollars. not worth it.

                          about the sms backup...
                          Do you know Java? Otherwise it will be tough...

                              Biden2020prez I'm learning java now!
                              but I spend most of my time in kolel which makes every project I do take very long!

                                    Biden2020prez Agree,

                                    Biden2020prez And if you make a mistake.... you bricked a gadget worth tens of thousads of dollars. not worth it.

                                    And potentially cause loss of life....

                                          Flippy why do you think you have to do so much to block the browser?
                                          ever heard of firewalls and proxies they can do a great job in such a car no?

                                              I'm now going to go back to the topic discussed before Teslas and TAG were brought up. This thread will now have a lot of replying going on.

                                              Biden2020prez I would really appreciate if you would be able to make that happen!

                                                Biden2020prez Just as a side note: In order to restore texts you have to set the app as your default messaging app. On the app it prompts you to change it, but I don't know of a real way to change it back. I figured out on my phone how to change the default messaging app through a hidden menu I found through square home (by accident). Do you know the adb code to change the default messaging app. If you post it on the website, you'll need to include that command. As of now, I can't think of any more notes.

                                                If you know the command, please tell me. I want to add it to my post in uploaded apps.

                                                    kolelguy I am not an expert in this field, but based on what I know, Tesla's OS is built on Linux. Like KaiOS, its hard to just "block the browser". It needs a much bigger job than that. If it was as simple as "firewalls and proxies", I doubt TAG would be offering that kind of $$.

                                                        lgexalter1 Thanks!

                                                        So this app is com.android.cts.smsbackuprestore
                                                        And the main messages app (at least on my phone) is com.android.mms
