TCL Flip Plus: Any Info?

Flip Phones
21

The phone I just bought just came. First of all, the color is great! I have very little time tonight so I won’t be able to test it and see what I can come up with, but here’s what I see from a quick glance at the back. (I probably won’t turn it on until tomorrow.)
The model is still 4058L (like the flip go from USCellular), but the software version on the back is PJE6. That’s a little weird. The only software versions I’ve seen on the Flip Go (4058L) are PJ32, PJ3E, PJ3O, and PJ3R. I’ll see what I can come up with about Brom, Partition Layout, App Installation, and whatever else I can come up with when I have more time.

Notes on TCL Flip Plus
Differences from TCL Flip Go running PJ3R:
Obviously the color
Model number on the phone in settings is 4058L1
Software Version: PJE6
(Currently no software update available)
AOSP Version 11 (not 12 go)
*#*#DEBUG#*#* Disabled
App info menu blocked

Basically everything else is the same as PJ3R (i.e. boot animation, app layout, most of the system app versions, full Bootrom access, same exact partition layout, USCellular compatibility with most sim cards)

My current daily driver is the 4058L running PJ3R. After I got this phone I swapped my screen with this screen. They’re fully compatible (unlike some KaiOS (ימ"ש) or KEKA motherboards with some older Android models).

If somebody wants, I could post which system apps have different versions.

It’s has a cool, light blue shell. Besides that and a few tiny software tweaks (which now all the latest TCLs have), it’s exactly the same phone.

Yup. Still an issue. Darth modified the contacts app and made a new call log to circumvent those issues.

I don’t think his call log is public, but he said I could put it in my ROMs.

Is he still involved in phones?

I think so, but not publicly. I wish he was on here. He knows A TON.
