Apps4Flip Launcher on Main Menu (LG Classic)

FliphoneBochur

I thought of an idea for the LG Classic. I tried using the same method as [Login to see the link] to get the Apps4Flip launcher to show up on the main launcher. Basically, I uninstalled the browser and changed the Apps4Flip launcher package name to com.android.browser, but when I tried installing it, I got Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_VERSION_DOWNGRADE]. Why would adb be bothering me about a version downgrade if the package I'm replacing was removed from the phone?

(I didn't get a chance to try installing the app from the phone, but I don't think it would install.)

FliphoneBochur Impossible unless we find a compatible Qualcomm Firehose or some sort of exploit to get a rooted shell without flashing any partitions.

FliphoneBochur I think Lionscribe added an intent filter to make his app open intents to Tracfone's website, so you can use the dpad buttons on the homescreen to shortcut to his app as if you shortcutted to tracfone.com.

I spent a while trying to customize my LG Classic Flip's Launcher for myself, and was able to add the packages I want. I am not sure whether or not I will share it publicly, because it might take a bit more work getting it perfect for a release.

lgexalter1 Then how does [Login to see the link]'s app work? (I'm not familiar with the TCL Flip 2) Did [Login to see the link] or him get root access and remove the package?

FliphoneBochur Read the entire Tcl Flip 2 thread 😉 (Its only 1.2k posts). But yes we have root on that phone and all of the roms I made were made by editing the actual system and completely deleting system apps.

lgexalter1 Is there even a way to get root on the classic with no bootloader?

Biden2020prez [Login to see the link] It does not work on the LG Classic Portal Shortcut, as it hard codes the browser package in the intent. If there is a way to make a custom website shortcut, it should work.

Biden2020prez is that a Launcher you made or did you replace the orignal menu?

Biden2020prez so does this actually change your phone or you can put it back to the way it was

Biden2020prez

lionscribe Ah... I see.

Biden2020prez

THE_SOMEONE I ported from a different phone, and added some missing features.

3474336863 I'll need to put some more work first. Then I might share.

Biden2020prez

samtee What? Getting a firehose or root? that will totally change your phone.

my custom launcher? It's a different APK than the main launcher.

Biden2020prez The UI looks really nice! Can't wait to see the final thing!

Finished?

Biden2020prez

yteps No, I stopped a bit, then came back to it a bit, then stopped again.

I was trying to add certain features which are a bit hard in smali. Maybe I will post what I did and take it from there. But I still have a lot of code to clean up.
