So i got one today its a basic flip phone. something that interests me is that its running a modified version of android so im wondering if it could be possible to run apks on it and if so could anybody do it?
Anyone know how to run apps on a ZTE Z232lt?

I assume it doesn't have the developer options (settings > about > keep clicking on the build version), right?
Is it even android? While googling about it (didn't even know ZTE was still around) I found some people confusing the Cymbal G (the model you're asking for, which runs some other Linux variant) with the Cymbal T (android)

Well the menus look exactly like the menus of my zte obsidian so i assumed it was also an android.

If it is running Android, it should say so and have a version string in the Settings somewhere. If it does, you should be able to enable Developer Mode and ADB somehow and then just `adb install` apks.
That said, I know nothing about this specific phone.

Can you provide more information (Screenshots, photos, links..) because I can't find any information about your model on the internet, googling for it just comes up with this thread.
zdroid does however appear to be both android and ZTE related, so you may be onto something.
My Cymbal g has ( zte-kernel@Zdroid-SMT) while my zte obsidian running lolipop 5.1 has ( zte-kernel@droid#1)
"zte-kernel@Zdroid-SMT" is an android thing. You may have to check for more information about what android version it has. You may be able to install APKs through ADB if you can somehow enable it.
Yup that is Android! Don't know which version, but I know android settings layout when I see it.
Is it possible to tap (Or select) the build number multiple times to enable Developer Mode?
Although apparently older versions of android have it under "Settings - Applications - Development" so maybe you could try that as well?
If you can enable USB Debugging, you can use that to sideload apks without needing a file manager and having to enable unknown sources and copy files and stuff, half of which wont be possible on a dumb phone I Imagine.

That just confirms that it is Android, but it's not much use. Recovery mode != dev mode.
the dev menu secret does not work neither does the one when you click on the android version because it does not show the version.
That is about as much info as i can squeeze out.

Hm. Depends if ZTE does release a new firmware for the device that is. But if it is an android it should be a
Probably not. Usually there are preventative measures in place for this.

@SylverReZ, I also heard one of the Prince of Persia games was so unfinished that it required the "24/7 online" drm so a puzzle could be done and the game could be finished. And that when the Ubisoft servers were closed the (cracked) game was impossible to finish or something like that

@Xdqwerty, That's extra scummy. Ubisoft nowadays ship out incomplete games like Skull and Bones which was being worked on for nearly a decade now.+1 -

I like that games can be fixed after the fact, hate that it's being abused via beta tests... And DLC... I was a 7800 owner back in the day and loved Impossible Mission, turns out I couldn't beat it because it was actually impossible lol

I never knew about it at the time but a fixed version was available but you had to mail in your broken copy lol
