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

    1. 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

    2. 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.

    3. 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.

    • the only services that the e4810 will have issues with is some of the verizon mvnos because it will recognize the verizon service so it will lock the apn to verizon, and the phone wont work at all

    • Flippy yes i use my e4810 with tmobile and i have fast.t-mobile.com for the apn

      • moshe1 this is only for tmobile direct, an mvno will have its own apn
        try checking their website or calling them

      • kyocera duraxv exteme e4810

      • Flippy
        yes but for lte devices you should do
        fast.t-mobile.com (for LTE devices)
        epc.tmobile.com (for non-LTE devices)

            Read the 4th post [Login to see the link].
            Android doesn't support the hide app function on ADB with newer devices.

            To uninstall a package, try:
            On cmd adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 <package_name> where <package_name> is the what you want to uninstall; insert -k after uninstall to save that app's data.
            Or on Powershell ./adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 <package_name> .

            To disable type adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 <package_name>.
            To enable type adb shell pm enable <package_name>.

            To suspend type in adb shell pm suspend <package_name>.
            To unsuspend type in adb shell pm unsuspend <package_name>.

          • Biden2020prez is there any way to disable or suspend or hide a system app, for example office suite on the kyocera e4810. I get an error when trying these cmds on adb

            uninstall gives me Failure [DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR]

            hide gives me Security exception: Neither user 2000 nor current process has android.permission.MANAGE_USERS.

            disable gives me Security exception: Shell cannot change component state for com.mobisystems.office.kyocera/null to 2

            suspend gives me Security exception: setPackagesSuspendedAsUser: Neither user 2000 nor current process has android.permission.SUSPEND_APPS.

                Hi1 that is true, the only option you have to block that is a filter from tag

                • you can edit the main menu to show any app or menu, and you can map the ptt/sos buttons to any app as well, business tools shows all installed apps, its more or less a launcher

                  • HHi1Level 3 - Gold Member

                    4448641 yes but you can reset with a screen lock or the recovery menu

                    • family link wont work on this phone because google play services is not installed

                      • resetting requires a password

                          4448641 but it doesn't block reset do you know a way to block reset? (I tried Google family link which blocks reset I though it will work beacuse this phone allows regular installations but wasn't able to launch the app) so I guess the olny way is rooting

                        • You have to enter * # * # * # (star-pound-star-pound-star-pound) immediately upon resetting the phone, when it shows the "Select Language" screen, then click yes to allow device management. The phone can then be filtered by going to Settings>Business Tools>Device Control. The default password is 000000. You can block apps, disable software updates, installing apps etc.

                              Is there any way to install any other messaging app and have it work like the default messaging, ie. right soft key, notifications, etc.
                              Doesn't have to be message plus, just something more functional than the current app.

                              • why would you need an app launcher, all installed apps are in the business tools menu, and you can customize the main menu screen to show any app/setting/menu

                              • In Dpi

                                how would you do it on the kyocera e4810?

                              • what would be the cmd for kyocera e4810

                              • codes for Kyocera dura series?
