Is the chipset in the lenova tab 2 10.1" Full HD 16GB Android Tablet has that I'm looking to get...

Will the MM firmware & mods since #151 work with this one??!!!

Took few hours, but read it all, just want to check the MediaTek chip versions okay?!!

[MENTION=6402619]coolbeans2016[/MENTION] The Lenovo Tab 2 A10-70F has an MT8165. It's actually clocked at 1.69 GHz, even if some sources say 1.5. You can find a collection of stock firmwares on my AndroidFileHost.

The MM firmware that people here have been talking about is a beta version, and actually for the Tab 2 A10-70L. It works on the F, but from what I've been reading here, it has too many bugs for my taste.
[Android General] coolbeans2016:
not bad

May or may not have earbud bug is all I've seen thats unresolved. My main concern is root/twrp and would be nice not getting stuck on 5.01....

Only thread I have found since deciding to check. B4 buying always do search on root/twrp... What you know bsides here?

Thanks 4 responding!

[Android General] bigrammy:
On the Tab2 A10-70F (WiFi Only) model there are no bugs for me when using systemless root other than the Headphone jack as described many times. :o

You're never stuck on any Android version with 98% of Mediatek devices (which this is) thanks to SPFlashtool. :good:

Root and TWRP versions are all done on all Android versions. :good:

Anything and Everything relating to this tablet is all in this one thread (Some place :eek: ) and is the goto place for most users. :good:

Reading this thread until your eyes bleed and/or using the thread search box is always a good idea for those just joining the party. :good:

Anything specific then just ask in here. :)
[Android General] coolbeans2016:
awesome... gracias

Cool, thanks boss! Caught this tablet as a bundle (case + bluetooth headphones)... Wasn't gonna buy though less this thread w/MM, twrp & systemless root worked! Thanks for letting me know, already have everything downloaded... just gott order it now!

zach

Ps you can set adoptable storage in MM to just a %percentage% you want as internal... keeping the rest as portable!
[Android General] bigrammy:
I am unable to reproduce any of your sound issues using the built in speakers :confused:

I can just about hear a slight pre and post hiss when using my UFO Bluetooth headphones although I believe this is the actual headphones and not the Tablet as when I pair to my HiFi system I do not hear it at all. :confused:

The volume is very easy set and best set using /settings/sound & notifications then use the sliders for Media, Alarm and Notifications or by pressing the volume key and pressing the down arrow on the volume level to show the volume sliders for each of the above.

The stock sound on this 6.0 is about as good as it gets for most mediatek devices I have come across regardless of version.
[Android General] Stretto:
Trying to get the SPFT tool to install the recovery.

1. I have installed the mediatek drivers.

2. I have added the scatter file

3. Using various TWRP files.

What always happens is that the SPFT tool simply does nothing. No progress or completion. This suggests maybe it is a driver issue... but the drivers are installed(The ones offered in this thread)

The only thing I can think of is maybe I have disabled some windows service that is required since I tend to disable a lot of crap windows defaults to.

SPFT Seems to be in an endless loop(that or it's just very slow, but I read somewhere it should take seconds) but does respond to the stop button.

When I go to device manager, the meditek com port is greyed out(have to show hidden to see it), my guess is that this is the problem... but not sure how to show it. I will reboot to see if that fixes it....

Seems that when I first plug in the usb to the device the driver finds it and becomes active but then immediately gets deactivated and the tablet goes in to battery charging mode and that seems to disable everything ;/

I don't see how anybody could ever get this to work because plugging in the USB essentially powers on the device and if the device is powered on one can't use the SPFT tool? I'm hoping that with a full charge(which means I'll have to try tomorrow) that it won't power on like it is... else I don't know the solution ;/
[Android General] bigrammy:
Not sure if it does by default to be honest as I don't have an SDcard in it. :o

I am sure someone will let you know although all things are possible with root. ;)

Please wrap logs and code in CODE tags it looks like this in the Message editing box # for long codes/logs use hide also

Example: replace the ( ) with these [ ] (HIDE)(CODE) Your Code/Log goes Here (/CODE)(/HIDE)

Your Code/Log goes Here

Please! there are so many SPFlashtool guides it's unreal just search this thread youtube or do a general google search. :crying:

Make sure the Tablet is switched OFF when you plug it into flash.

Hit download then plug it into the pc.
[Android General] Stretto:
Um, it is off... sheesh... Please don't tell me to search for something by default when you make assumptions.

WHEN I turn off the device and plug in the usb cable it powers up and shows the large battery icon. THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS... IT is impossible to power off the device and also connect a usb to it because that causes the device to boot up in to charge mode which then disabled the mediatek usb driver. And yes, I did try searching for this and no results. Please don't assume I'm an idiot or lazy, all it does it result in the problem not getting fixed.
[Android General] mhulsegge:
Make sure you click download, and only after that plug it into your pc

Well, this is kinda embarrassing. I'm very sorry for wasting your time, Bigrammy. I Hope you didn't spend too much time trying to reproduce my error.

Turns out the noise was just the normal, very, very low hissing that is produced by these kind of speakers. Can be heard on most tablets when holding speaker close to the ear while playing something with the volum all the way down. This noise can't normally be heard otherwise. My fault was attaching this tablet to the Logik Slim Universal 10" case. A nice, slim and good looking case, but the tablet is attached using a strong tapestrip on the top end of the case and that effectively closes off the speaker. I was prepared for this and accepted the redused volum. Because of the closed off speaker, there was some sort of resonance and the hissing was amplified a lot. During the night, in my sleep, i had an epiphany. I woke up and simply detached the tablet from the case and reattached it up-side-down, with the speaker down, not closed off. The tablet being fairly symmetric makes this unnoticeable. The hissing noise was gone.

Again Bigrammy. I'm sorry for wasting your time! Thanks for the reply and all the work and guidance in this thread!

This is how i flashed MM using SPFT via USB2 and USB3, as explained earlier in this thread by others:

Turn off tablet and connect to PC. Open Device Manager and manually install the SP driver. Take your time and make sure the driver is installed and working. No time pressure here.

Disconnect tablet from PC and start SPFT with admin rights.

Load scatterfile and press Download.

Connect tablet to PC. SPFT should intercept the device and start flashing. You have several seconds to connect, no stress or timing necessary.
[Android General] Tzul:
That is absolutely wrong.

You click the download (or readback) button in the SPFT before you connect USB! That has been repeatedly stated in this topic. You have no right to complain if you can't follow simple instructions like "First click the button, then connect the tablet".

And once the device is connected, you just wait a few seconds and do NOT click stop. It's easy enough to see if the flashing process starts during that time or if the device goes to the battery charging screen - in which case you might not have installed the driver, or have a USB issue. I have flashed with USB2 and USB3 ports without problems, even with a powered USB2 hub. Unpowered hubs reportedly don't work.

You can install TWRP with the first flashing process already. If you're going to install it anyway, it's pointless to first flash the stock recovery and then do a second flash to overwrite it with TWRP. In the SPFT, simply load the TWRP image file for the recovery partition (by clicking the right row of the "location" column) before you start the first flash.

I don't appreciate you doing a pointless fullquote of one of my posts, especially not if it destroys all the references in the process.

hardware troubleshoot

Rare but it happens.... when a forum threads instructions are not working like with others, time to look at your hardware. IE... usb ports, usb cables... Just the fact that a usb port is 3.0 instead of 2.0 (computers usually have more 2.0 than 3.0), so if your using the solitary usb port on one side, try the side that has 2.... USB cables, if your using the stock cable, don't know what to tell you, but if your just fishing one out of a box of them, then keep switching through cables repeating the steps in the OP until it works. Besides all of this, there is a problem of this device not powering off that was corrected twice in this thread by the person taking the back off, unplugging the battery! So, looks like you got a ghost in the machine, time to trial & error! Maybe, by trying to make sure your on a usb 2.0 port, got a good cable, then.... unplugging the battery, letting it discharge for a minute, then repeat the steps in OP you will have a success!!

I'm waiting for this device to get in stock where I'm ordering from (bundle with case & bluetooth headphones), but I have read the entore 180+ posts in the thread, and this is what I would do to help eliminate hardware problems!!!!! GOOD LUCK!!!!

Are you guys uninstalling any apps from the MM Rom?

Titanium Backup lists some apps that I don't like/trust and I've been trying to uninstall them. However after uninstalling them, my "Airplane Mode" switch is blinking interminably on and off. I'm trying to find the culprit...
[Android General] bigrammy:
Try wipe the Cache, Dalvik/Art Cache Only. :fingers-crossed:

In recovery go to the Main Menu /Wipe/Avanced Wipe (Just incase you or anyone reading this is new to TWRP :o )

I had a very similar thing happen after I first installed MM and that fixed it for me. :good:
[Android General] theclarkster:
Hopefully this isn't a dumb question, but does anyone else have problems with streaming videos on MM? They seem to be pretty jerky on my end. The usual go to fix of wiping cache/dalvik doesn't seem to do much. Otherwise, everything runs quite well!
[Android General] bigrammy:
Many variables with this one which you should maybe define a bit more precise for help. :confused:

I don't know much about video apps tweaking the setting for video etc etc so from a noob point of view here is how it is for me.

This video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6v2L2UGZJAM

Wifi= 5ghz

Signal= Medium

App= Youtube

Definition= 1080p

Mode= Full Screen

Plays pretty well with a very slight what I would say is stutter (for want of a better description) on some of the more panoramic sweeping scenes.

The same video Plays exactly the same on My Amazon Fire Stick via 47" LG tv with the same very slight stutter.

I have been very critical here and to be honest I do not think I would really notice other wise.

Maybe you could view and see if your experience matches mine.
[Android General] chris5s:
Do you get the same jerkiness looking at the equivalent streams on your Nexus?

Also, have you tried changing some of the hardware acceleration options in Developer Options in the settings menu? GPU rendering, Force 4x MSAA and Disable HW overlays, for example. Don't know, but this might make a difference...

Fwiw, watching bigrammy's video on latest Lollipop update, there is some very slight "stutters" during playback, but again, not really noticeable.

(Nice video, [MENTION=3924647]bigrammy[/MENTION], makes me wanna get out into the West Highland mountains, which I'm currently avoiding due to the copious amounts of snow and ice. Yeah, I'm a wimp, lol)

Peace.
[Android General] xeeee:
Wiping the Cache + Dalvik/Art didn't fix the problem, thanks anyway :)

I'm going to try uninstalling only one or two app each time, and see which one starts the "bug"

These are the apps I'm uninstalling: http://imgur.com/a/vifXe

Some of them are just normal google apps that I don't need, others ones are a little more obscure...
[Android General] bigrammy:
It made me almost go outside to clean up the remaining leafs in the garden but thought hey why not leave it to the wind it's done a pretty good job so far of blowing them into the neighbours garden Yeah, I'm a wimp too nowadays. :laugh: :laugh:

Tap 2 Wake

Does anyone know where to find the "Tap 2 Wake" option in the Marshmallow? I think it was in gestures on Lollipop but I can't find it in MM.
[Android General] chris5s:
Its not there. There may be an xposed module to enable it, but I don't use xposed myself.

Peace.
[Android General] xeeee:
I think I'm systemless, I flashed the SuperSU 2.79 zip through TWRP.

Ygps + LocationEm2 uninstalled and "GPS Status & Toolbox" is able to get a GPS Fix.

So, the problem was the "Dados Moveis (Mobile Data?) - TeleService.apk" that can't be uninstalled.

I uninstalled 37 apps and everything seems to be working fine.

I'm going to make a SPFT Backup and then install my apps.

[Android General] krypdyr:
Thanks for that list! I've removed the same apps now, and have no issues. I've also removed TeleService without problem, but that might be because I'm on the Wifi Only version (A10-70F)?

I'm curious about other users experience regarding idle battery usage. According to Settings → Battery, the "Tablet idle" is using 100mAh per hour. Right now, the values are 1100mAh over 11 hours. Using the BetterBatteryStats app found on this forum, i can see that the tablet has been in "Deep sleep" for those hours. Checking my phone (LG-D802, CM13, Android 6.0.1), which i assume have a lot more services and apps running, the "Phone idle" has a values of 77mAh over 22 hours.

Now, I'm not complaining, the perceived battery time is good and a charge holds for days with my current usage. I'm just wondering if the 100mAh/Hour is normal for this tab. I'm losing less than 5% of battery every night, so it's not a problem, just looking to optimize! :)
[Android General] xeeee:
I also have the A10-70F version. When you pull down the notification bar, does the Airplane Mode works fine? Or it is blinking?

I have been using the tablet in the last couple days and everything is working fine after uninstalling all that stuff.

I also disabled the Ambient-Light Adaptive Luma (AAL) and deleted the ccci_mdinit file (If you are seeing your tablet in deep sleep you should have already done this).

I spend a lot of time trying to improve the battery life of my phone but it's never that great. So I have decided not to do the same thing with the tablet. I installed Greenify and an old version of Lenovo Power Center (don't know if it does anything... It also asks for root permission when opening the app to create a widget in the homescreen, which I don't like and find rather strange, so I have the root permissions always denied for the app in SuperSU).

Everything seems to be perfect, so I'm not going to make any more changes :D
[Android General] krypdyr:
Yes, it's blinking! It was annoying so i removed it! :)

Yes, the battery time is fine, and I'm not going to spend much time on this subject unless my values are abnormal;)

So i was wondering if someone would like to share their values under System → Battery → "Tablet idle"!
[Android General] xeeee:
The blinking is because of the TeleService.apk. It's a little bit annoying and you lose the Airplane mode, except that everything works fine :)

I've checked the tablet idle and I have the same as you, 2214mhA in 22h08m
[Android General] ericDraven77:
Hi there!

I just read the last few sides and I've seen that there seem to be other isers experiencing my isue. This is, that when I listen to a film or something with my headphones, the sound is just awful. The voices are very silent and the rest is quite normal. So you can't hear a dialogue. If I plug out my headphones and plug them back in just 70% of the way, I can hear the Dialogues and everything quite normal but only on one of the two speakers.

Thats quite anoying cause I do a lot of streaming when I'm traveling by train which I do a lot.

I also have the problem with the Headphones which don't "disconnect" correctly until I do a reboot and stil I can't change Lockscreen wallpapaer.

Is there a solution for any of my problems (Except the Headphone Plug Thing with Headset Toggle) ??

Thanks in advance ;)

PS: If someone asks, Yes I am on the Android 6.0 system mentioned here by zMarshmallow and Chris5s (Thanks Guys again!)

OK, so I updated my boot.img and the SU, but the sound still stays ****ed up with headphones :(

If I pull the connector out just to ab third the sound is way better, but then the connector doesn't stay in correctly if I move around ;)

Hope there will be a way to fix this.

I think it is something with the Surround settings and the Headphone connector.
[Android General] bigrammy:
OK I am confused so to be clear.

Are you saying this was not a issue on LP 5.0 and only started when you upgraded to MM 6.0 :confused:
[Android General] coolbeans2016:
adoptable storage

Don't want to muddy this thread up anymore than it is, waiting on the Lenova Tab 2 I ordered because of the MM on here to arrive! When it comes to adoptable storage on MM, there are alot of tutorials, but have noticed the majority of them leave out a step or 2 here & there.... it will work either way, but to get what you want exactly out of MM's adoptable storage, like only using a percentage of the ext_sdcard, and leaving the rest as portable on so forth, follow these steps:

Adoptable Storage in MM:

adb shell

sm list-disks

sm list-volumes all

sm set-force-adoptable true

sm partition disk:179,64 private (replace with mixed what number you want to be external, ie: mixed 80 will leave 80% of card as external, 20% external)

sm set-force-adoptable false

sm list-volumes all

NOTE: the fourth command partitions your SD card, and may take 2-3 minutes (or longer) to complete, depending on the size of your card. plus make sure you have a reliable and fast SD Card.

Disconnect your phone from the USB cable and reboot it. The reboot is crucial. Your phone may (or may not) take a bit longer to boot this time.

Once your phone is fully booted, tap Settings > Developer Options and disable USB Debugging, clicking “OK” to any messages that may appear.

Go to Settings > Storage & USB and tap your SD card. Tap the three dots in the upper-right corner and choose “Migrate data”.

My LG phone has 128gb extended mem sd card, out of which is 119gb available... by using the "mixed 80" and putting 20% of it towards internal I got 33.60gb internal leaving 101gb as portable storage!

hope this helps......

[Android General] rajesh00:
do we need to connect the device with power button pressed or the bootrom automatically gets executed on connecting the device to the usb port.
[Android General] chris5s:
You do not need to press the power button when you connect the tablet.

The process will start automatically :good:

Just make sure it is powered off before connecting to the PC.

Peace.
[Android General] ericDraven77:
Yes this appeared when I updated to MM.

Like I said, it has to do with the Dolby Feature I Think or with the Headphone connector driver or whatever this is called ;)
[Android General] bigrammy:
Well I am unable to fault the audio using wired headphones in fact I think it's pretty darn good on the MM. :confused:

I understand that some movies use 5.1 surround sound especially action movies and the speaking voices can seem very low compared to other sounds when listening on your Stereo headphones and Stereo TV

I have tried a bunch of audio tests using youtube and they all seem good to me.

[YOUTUBE]PqVCPE8_ntE[/YOUTUBE]

The LFE (Subwoofer) channel is missing in the above but that's normal.

I am sure you have tried manual mode in the Dolby app and even turning it off :confused:

Failing that check the Hardware this explains a few things about the headphones themselves.

You could always revert back to LP if everything worked to your liking before the upgrade to MM :good:
