Help needed to remove apps on Crosscall Core S4

[Bruno SAMUEL]

Hi all,

I got my KaiOS phone a year ago, and I've tried several times to get into the machine but never succeeded.

My goal is first to be able to remove some apps (Google apps at least of the least), and if possible, to get access to the apps of the bananahackers store.

I use a computer running on Linux Mint.
I've managed to get the bug icon showing, thanks to the w2d page. I've connected to my phone using adb, for example "adb reboot" command makes the phone reboot.
I've tried installing apps from the bananahackers store using webIDE on palemoon, and it was forbidden.

I still haven't understood how to go further, probably because I'm completely new to all of this ^^

Could someone help me with some simple words ? :D

Thanks for the amazing work !

Bruno

The only suggestion that I can give, is to check the connection between palemoon WebIDE, through command "https://bananahackers.net/install-omnisd.html#h.kpw4aw74ezri", like in https://bananahackers.net/install-omnisd.html#h.kpw4aw74ezri

Hi Mick,

Thank you so much for your answer ! Yes, I've tried this command, as suggested in this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvoeRI1hbBc

But the installation of third party apps seems to be forbidden.

Luxferre's post about this phone here - https://groups.google.com/g/bananahackers/c/W7MuBB6yMLo/m/rPE9b7mmAQAJ - suggests that the debugger mode is more difficult to get than with other devices, but I don't understand much in this message. So I don't know how to get further :/

Thanks again !
