Also any idea how to make the apps smaller so you can actually see the screen?
 And a pointer like @kosher Cellutions would make like easier when using Google maps and waze.

 Heres two screenshots of the apps on waze and Google maps. Screen is taken over by the next step in the directions.

Run these commands from a ADB shell.
"wm size 321x428"
"wm density 160"

This makes the internal resolution of Android a bit higher.
The LCD is still 240x320, but you will have more space for your Android apps!
Shut down and restart your phone after, so your wallpaper returns to normal.
The boot screen will always be oddly sized, that's just the nature of what this tweak does.

Reverting:
"wm density reset"
"wm size reset"
This resets your Classic Flip's resolution to 240x320 at around 160 DPI

Lol cute, but does that really pop up in an email? If only.. I have made that mistake way to many times to count.

 Over here I didn't actually forget to post.
 I had taken the screenshots on the actual device, but Indeed i forget to send them to myself to post on the forum, before giving the phone with the apps and all back to a sibling of mine.
    And can't even ask for him to send me the pics as I removed the texting!  :)

  But will run the apps on another device for all those to see..
 I'm Using Voice Access to control the apps, but quite a pain to use. You need the room to be quiet so your phone can understand you(hear you) and takes a few minutes or se extra seconds.

 If anyone has any leads or ideas on how to put together a mouse or pointer like Mr KC (K=Kookoo C=CustomerService) brags about all day, post back here.

 @Something Fishy if my KC comes back he needs a banner on his profile for him to see to relax himself a bit when posting/before posting. ;)

In Outlook it pops up if you mentioned the word attached. It's saved me so many times.

I've had a couple of funny false positives
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

Lol, been trying to find someone and decode what he put together.

 Or just buy it for $25 and play with it.

Doing so has a name (hint: it starts with a 'ג').

Try to find some open-source code. From there, it is no big deal to optimize it for flip devices.

I went into the settings and managed to remove the icon from the home screen.
 So you learnt something new..
Where did you go to remove the icon. Which settings?

They finally have a code and install avlb on apps4Flips.

 So you guys can test out the cursor and see if it works.

You would probably get a better answer posting in the forum here with these questions.

Which app you looking to remove?
 Try using webabd.

If you are using webabd, you have to skip the "abd shell" in each formula.

I have a Kyocera Cadence Phone which I'm trying to lock without bringing it to tag and messing up the phone.
 Meaning many guys who have this phone said it constantly shuts down on them, and they can't remove the locks and are blocked from putting apps and whatever else on the device.

 Vs this lock can be removed by wiping the phone to factory default.

https://www.apps4flip.com/oddsnends/

https://www.apps4flip.com/installation/

https://www.xda-developers.com/what-is-adb/


    I tried reading through all these sites and downloaded onto my computer the files needed to run the command prompt for a windows computer (powershell I think it's called on a windows 8.)

  Placed the phone in debugging and then connected to my computer trying to run the commands to see a list of installed programs, and that way I can manually run the script and remove them.

 But as you can see after executing a command I get that error that it's not recognized and ect...

 So my alternative was to use this site with there preloaded locks and filter,
https://kosherappsforflip.wixsite.com/kosherappsforflip/kyocera-candence

 That site worked fine, but I would like the wifi and hotspot removed as well. Using there program it doesn't offer that, while if I can manage to get the programs to run and I can execute the commands myself I can try to remove it.
  If I actually get it working but would love to try to install a program vs wiping the entire phone.

 If anyone knows a bit and can tell me what I'm doing wrong here.

 Attached is two screenshots of my commands I ran.

 One is the pre programed and one is the manual entry.

Manual command window.


Pre loaded filter, just connect the device and choose from the 5 things to remove. Text, browser,email, Verizon cloud and some other thing which I removed(not sure what it even was.)

Use web adb. its a lot simpler.
Whether you think you can or you think you cannot, you're right.

When running the device through this I'm getting the error unable to claim interface.
 I've connected my device before. Now it's not working.

Eta, was running other commands in the background.
 
 Downloaded the voice access on the lg classic flip, any idea on how to remove the icon?







Blocking half my screen.
Go to notifications. Click settings by voice access and you'll find that option.
