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

Take out the first 2 words when using webadb.
Whether you think you can or you think you cannot, you're right.

Also does anyone know how to uninstall a system app thru shell. when i try to do it typing "adb shell pm uninstall" etc. it gives me an error something like "adb not recognized" - is this a problem with the phone? i am using a sonim xp3. the same problem happens when i try to look up the packages.

Definitely easier for those who are not so so tech savvy. And all you have to go is attach the apk file and or the commands..
 It's a program which helps you install and remove with ease.

 At first glance seems a bit complicated. But after you get the hang of it. It's real simple.

To Enable:

For GPS: adb shell settings put secure location_providers_allowed +gps
For Network: adb shell settings put secure location_providers_allowed +network

To Disable:

Yes I've removed apps on my XP3. If you are using WEBADB skip out the first two words. I think you have to also use a certain Nusach. pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.browser that's the script for webadb to remove the browser...you can do pm list packages and remove any package

Pretty basic stuff but ill put it out there. First double check that the phone is in media transfer protocol. Then make sure the drivers are installed. I had an issue that after each successful apk install i had to reload the webadb page in order to connect.

You might have to change the transfer type to "photo transfer"

I think it actually has to be in "Charging" mode and NOT Mtp mode.

Thanks. That was the issue. I switched from file transfer to MIDI device, and it worked.

Quite the 'chalukei deios'. all i can say is that for my sonim xp3 that it worked in mtp. the one i find surprising is @Jojo202 which phone were you using that had to be in charging?

Funny. I've done Tens of Lg Exalts/Classics and it wont work for me unless I am off Mtp... Maybe diff computers/setup? Even my with my Mac setup I had the same Experience (I always thought it was funny that no one mentioned this requirement in the ADB tutorials....)

Never tried but pretty detailed.

If you don't get what's going on here and you just want a full guide, here are the instructions in full:

You have an apk file that you want to put on your flip phone, but it's not working because you don't have enough permissions. Here's what to do:
Download an APK file of the app you want (In my experience apkpure.com has a good selection)
Get APK editor by going to https://apkeditorpro.com/apk-editor-pro-for-pc/ and following the instructions
Open Bluestacks
On the homescreen, click system apps and then media manager
Click on Import from Windows on the left, and then select your apk
Click the Home Icon in the bottom-right corner
Open APK editor
Click APK file
You could either search for your file on bottom, or find it under /storage/emulated/0/DCIM/SharedFolder
Click Common edit
Under package name, add in com.android.cts.whatever's-at-the-end-of-what-was-there-originaly and save
Click the windows icon (under the home icon) in the bottom-left corner and hit Media Manager
On the left pane hit explore
Go to ApkEditor -> tmp
Click and hold on your file
On top click Export to Windows, save it where you want it, and you're done! You could now install your app on a flip phone!
If you need help installing the app, check out https://www.apps4flip.com/installation/
If you just want me to do it for you, you could email me at fliphonebochur@gmail.com
You're Welcome!
