Hello there,

I just flashed the rom yesterday (the experimental version recommended by our great dev.). I need to set it up but I will try test the BL connection also for you. Since I came from Stock and there was something fishy also at BL when trying to use my phone as a trusted device that would unlock the tab, I can imagine that BL could be not working to 100% in all instances, but as I stated, I have to test first. I will be happy to provide some feedback on that somewhat later. :D

Hi Bhun, I've tried a few different apps and the one I care most about, Rouvy, turned out to be the problem. I installed Wahoo Utility and BLE scanner, both with no Bluetooth problems. So with Rouvy the main suspect, it turns out that licencing is locked down to devices and it was still thinking that the old busted nexus7 was the device. Once sorted, Rouvy connected OK. Long story short, awesome rom, I need to think through problems better.

Will this OS work on Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 8''(TT3-850M) tablet? If not, is there any good custom for it?

LTE Version

...is someone working on the LTE version yet ? I own the Yoga Tab 3 Plus LTE (4gig RAM/64Gig internal) for 4 days now and can't wait to move to the Lineage custom ROM here, but don't want to completely loose LTE function.

i really appreciate your work here...keep it up !

Once i have this ROM up and running, i will donate accordingly.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Fudgemond:
Alas, I speak too soon of everything working. More Bluetooth gremlins despite the progress made in recent days. Even the Wahoo Utility app had trouble connecting to the Wahoo Kickr device. On the barely functioning nexus7, it hooks up quickly.

Is Bluetooth OK for everyone else using this rom?

The search function would have helped you! Here is the beta version from [MENTION=7398554]vladimiroltean[/MENTION]
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Dr_Schall:
this i read but did not recognize properly, my fault. Does someone already tried and can give some feedback on this ?

Next week i am going to test this...and provide feedback accordingly,
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Tribble:
I have been using the LTE beta from Vladimir since some weeks without major problems. The only cosmetic issues are while booting, there are sometimes 2 popups that phone and/or settings died, but after you dismiss those messages, everything works.

Twice the SIM card was not detected during boot, but rebooting the tablet fixed the situation.

So - at least for me - this build is very stable.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Dr_Schall:
update for LTE Version

...lets hope vladimir keeps updateting, would be great... :good: , two of my friends also consider to get this Tab after my review. Think i will go test the update to be able to support them :D
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] mautz001:
Hey am I right that there is NO LineageOS Version for the Tab 3 Plus YT3-X50L ? Thanks
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] vladimiroltean:
Hi guys. I appreciate your feedback w.r.t. the build for YTX703L that I published. I know there are some *minor* issues with the cellular connection from time to time. For those who are on the fence with flashing it, I can also assure you that these issues do not kill the overall experience, because I have been using that same build myself for some time.

I know where the cellular issues come from and I even solved them on a development branch that I have.

But I don't think these fixes are enough of an improvement right now to justify an updated build. I dislike the corporate phylosophy of "release early, release often" because that is just watering down the software with changes that no one will notice (and in the end not even pay attention to any longer), instead of a focused, clear change log. Not hinting at all at the great work of the other 3 people, just my time management.

I just want you to know that I am still working on this (albeit at a relatively slow pace) and will release a new build when I feel that some objectives have been met. For instance, Qualcomm has released an updated kernel tag for our SoC that is theoretically compatible with Android 8.0. As some of you have noticed, it mostly works except for the camera blobs which receive a segmentation fault (crash). I'd rather spend the little free time that I have debugging the new kernel rather than cleaning up, rebuilding older code, wiping my tablet, testing it and uploading it.

Now before you ramp up your hopes, remember that the Linux kernel is the one piece of Android software that has zero user-facing interfaces. Meaning that although it's Oreo compatible, you would never notice any difference. I do hope as much as everybody that once we have the Oreo kernel functional, updating the native userspace and the Android framework to Oreo will go smoothly. But there are pieces of old software that we still carry over as binary blobs from Lenovo's Marshmallow and are extremely fragile (particularly the camera libraries). I know just as much as anybody what "project Treble" really means, and what on earth Google did again to the interface between the free Android framework and the proprietary camera HAL (and others). If anything were to break with the Oreo update, I expect this to be painstakingly difficult to debug.

So bottom line, don't expect any update until I can get the Oreo-compatible kernel to work. If you're impatient, do help out. Once we have that going, we can try an early Oreo test build and estimate what's broken.

read this the other day, and just thought i'd share my 2cents.

first of all, many thanks for making the YTX703L build, i second the opinion that the glitches do not ruin the overall experience. i've been using the build since it's first release, and yes it works, and works well.

only glitches i's seen so far:

1. sim not found, solved by one or more resets.

2. if i stress the SD card the device will say it's corrupt (this is a problem i also had on the stock ROM, so it's either the tablet HW, software, or my SD card)

3. i did get 1 or 2 random resets. but i've had the rom for a long time, and i was stressing the hell out of the tablet, when they occurred, so, nothing to worry about.

[MENTION=7398554]vladimiroltean[/MENTION] i have no idea how much time it takes to build one of these releases, since you already have the cellular fixed, it would be nice to have a stable solid release of this rom for the LTE variant posted say on the first page, with all the bells and whistles. people keep looking for it, and it would be nice if it's existence were "official" so to speak.. also would be nice to have the last updates the main YTX703F branch has.

i know this goes against everything you explained above, but i just wish you would consider it! not saying you MUST do it.

just that IMO, i don't care that much about android 8, that seems like a long way away, though i have to say THANK YOU if you are planning to keep this tablet updated to the next revision. in my experience with custom roms, whenever somebody says "we'll fix this in the next big update that includes update to android X" for some reason the android X release gets dropped and the fix never makes it in the old branch :P *paranoid user* again, if it's not too big a headache to build it.

also, [MENTION=2806083]DerEineDa[/MENTION] i wanted to suggest this one some time ago but i forgot, remember when [MENTION=7398554]vladimiroltean[/MENTION] explained to me how to flash this rom? post number 455.

that was the most detailed explanation i ever got on how to flash a custom ROM to a device. it actually does not assume any knowledge on the side of the user. could you possibly add it to the first post whenever you update your first post? i bet there will be a lot of users who will be happy it's there :)

big thank you for keeping this ROM going, looking forward to future updates :D
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] DerEineDa:
Thanks for your suggestion! Good idea, I will probably add something like that to the first post, altough I slightly disagree with vlad's explanation, so I won't just copy-paste this.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] ma401:
I use bluetooth quite extensively without any issues, on the 9/24 experimental build, with a number of devices:

-PS3 controllers (two at a time, often, without any input lag)

-8Bitdo zero controller

-Bluetooth keyboard w/mouse

-Various bluetooth audio devices; AKG headphones, JBL Clip+, a couple of cheap AliExpress-bought bluetooth receivers

No issues with finding, pairing, connecting, reconnecting, etc - bluetooth works as it should. I do know what bad bluetooth problems are like as I had a lot of frustration with my last device (Kindle Fire HDX 7) and thought I had found the answer when I came to the Yoga.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] DerEineDa:
I have no problems with my bluetooth devices, but I don't have that many to begin with. My 8bitdo controllers and my LG Tone Infinim headset work just fine.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] DerEineDa:
New release uploaded!

Changelog:

Fixed audio hissing while no sound is playing. Should also increase battery life.

Updated to latest LineageOS 14.1 sources.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Fudgemond:
I'll do a clean install with the latest build and see how Bluetooth works. I'll report back next week as circumstances prevent me from playing with tech.

up and running Lineage Wifi Variant

...hey guys, i am so excited - i just can't hide it.

I bricked my device :crying:, even i had some experience with flashing several TWRP and Custom ROMs on Note 4 before...

...i finally made it. Now i know what GApps are ;) and learnt alot about my device and flashing it.

Thanks to all of you guys...and keep up the good work :good: .

P.S.: one thing i experienced is that launcher is in 4:3 aspect ratio (icons and wigdges i can place only in that range)...does anyone know how to switch to full aspect ratio ?

HBO problems

Been using this build for a few weeks now and everything has been working great . But now HBO nordic has stopped working.. When i try to play anything i just get an error message. "Ett fel har uppstått" (an error has occured) Dont know if it has anything to do with this rom but its annoying cause i watch HBO alot. . Anyone with the same issue? It works on all my other devices that have stock Roms. Nexus phones and shield TV .
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Dr_Schall:
launcher

...any experiences with different launcher for this ROM or is everyone using trebuchet ?

I am also missing notifications next to the icons. Is there a seperate app or config to install so notification numbers pop up ?

I'm using Nova Launcher and I'm very pleased with it. Very customizable.

[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Dr_Schall:
video playback issues and launcher 4:3 issue

Hi guys,

trebuchet launcher issue with 4:3 aspect ratio has been solved by using Nova Launcher Prime and enabling full screen without borders left/right. I can also recommend Nova Launcher in general because its nicely customizable.

I experienced issues with videoplayback (in youtube as well as for VLC/MXplayer/Standard Gallery Movie Player). Some videos start playing smoothly but after some seconds, stuttering occurs and and due to this stuttering audio and video is not in sync anymore. This happens in general for all videos above 1080p (tried several 2k material on youtube) and above 30 fps that i tested (in youtube and from sd-card). It seems like HW decoding is functional (did not get any error message from VLC for example like with the stock ROM, where VLC said HW decoding disabled). Just tested some 2k 23 fps material from interal sd card and same issues.

I already uninstalled youtube app and all other video players, did a wipe for Dalvik/ART and Cache in TWRP, but that did not help.

I have the 4 Gig / 64GB LTE version and using latest Lineage Wifi ROM and ARMx64 Nano Gapps...(i did a clean install and no dirty flash)

KRACK ?

Hey man, thanks for this wonderful ROM

Is there a new build with the fix for KRACK on the way?

It's kind of a hot topic these days... ;)

PS: Is there a reason why you don't join LineageOS team with your project? ...so that it became "official"...

Best regards!
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] tombraga:
YES - would be great, official rom (this rom deserves it to be "official")

Disable or remove Audio FX provided by LineageOS then disable / enable Dolby Atmos and that's all. It's working perfectly :)

Yes audio is much louder after that, Audio FX blocking Dolby Atmos.

Touch too sensitive???

Hello guys! I am using this wonderful rom since the experimental build, and it is awesome!!! Ihave only one problem with it. Seemingly it is too responsive for touch. If I want to scroll sometimes it takes the gesture as a click and the other way around. Did someone noticed this? It is very annoying when browsing something like a reader app or also in the menu it opens things I did not want to open so touch is too sensible. Did not notice that kind of problem on stock roms with my other devices. Anyone a guess? Thanks in advance! Perhaps I am missing some setting....
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] ma401:
I have this problem, too, but I thought it was due to the screen protector I was using (one of those big hard glass-typed "9H" protectors). Do you have a protector on your screen?
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] DerEineDa:
I wish I could help you, but I can neither reproduce the problem nor do I have an explanation for this. The touchscreen driver we are using is completely stock, without any updates or modifications by us...
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] bhun:
Hello guys!

Thank you very much for thr prompt responses!

Actually I do have a screen protector, exactly the same glass one, just applied some days ago. Before I was not aware of the problem so ot might be the actual cause. I am sorry that I did not observe the functions with more attention. But if it is like that this matter sucks big time lol :) Awesome snappy rom everything fine with it but problems if you use a protector. I had something like that on the phone of my wife but there it was not responsive at all instead of getting too responsive.

I reflashed from scratch to the newest rom but the screen remains too sensitive.

Anyone else with such screen protector and similar issues out there? That way we could go sure, because removing the protector and have to throw it away just because a mere short test would be a little too much. This one was the second to apply for me because I hardly could find a place without dust particles ruining the applying procedure. First time the result was a mess. Second :) Way better, almost perfect. :D

I never would have guessed, that this could also cause it.

So, if someone has similar trouble, let the community know so that one applies perhaps a plastic protector, perhaps that would work better.

@ Der Eine Da: One hell of a job, wery well done. Thanks alot! Smooth nice rom! :victory::good:
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] ma401:
Well damn, you've added a lot of weight to my suspicions. I was already thinking of ordering a softer-style screen protector to try instead (probably a matte finish one to make this easier to use in sunny room), so I will be pulling this screen protector off by then if not sooner. I will report back here when I do that.

Just a tip, I find the screen reacts better if you are firmer with your presses and avoid light brushes. The light brushes (the type you'd default to while scrolling) are often interpreted as clicks, if I am more purposeful with my swipes they tend to be recognized correctly.

Experimental: DT2W

I finally got around to develop a kernel with "double-tap to wake" (dt2w) functionality. If you are brave, please give it a shot!

[Download]

Notes:

Wifi-only (no LTE) devices are supported at the moment!

DT2W probably decreases battery life, but I don't know by how much. Feedback on this is very appreciated!

For users of the "extended version" (with OMS support): I don't know if LineageOS still boots with this kernel. Please make a backup of your "boot image" using TWRP and please test it for me! If LineageOS doesn't boot, just restore your backup. In any way, please give some feedback whether it works or not!

Installation:

Just flash using TWRP.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] janforman:
Love it...

it's working :D and about power consumption - I think it's marginal because I have same non hardware DT2W support on my mobile and this beast can last more than 3 days on standby.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] tombraga:
Normally in TWRP I choose backup and then system, data and boot is already pre-selected. I never change this.

To make a boot image backup as you say, must I disable this 3 options and click only boot image?
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] DerEineDa:
If you want you can backup everything: system, data and boot. But only boot is necessary in this case.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] tombraga:
OK. Will try the new kernel. When I flash it in TWRP, I have to flash also supersu to keep root or is it not necessary?

After install, where can I found this new add-on? In settings?
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] DerEineDa:
You don't need to reinstall supersu. It should be kept intact.

DT2W is currently enabled by default, but I am working on making this configurable this very moment.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] tombraga:
great, it´s working fine.

my god, i was waiting so much time already on this solution. Now i don´t need more to use the weak power button to wake up...thanks a lot, great job.

this are the 2 kernels, before and after installation DT2W

perhaps with this kernel you can also create a screenshot shortcut settingbar?

With the actual lOS there is no option yet and i need always the powerbutton too.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] tombraga:
It´s a pitty...(there are no options for a next rom-version?) I use a lot the screen shots.

concerning the new addon: now in Ex Kernel Manager it shows that DT2W is active, very nice.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] DerEineDa:
If you need to take screenshots without the power button and if you are rooted, just install one of the many screenshot apps from the play store, like this one. It works fine, I just tested it.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] DerEineDa:
Experimental ROM with Double-tap to wake

Here is an experimental ROM for the wifi-only "pure LineageOS"-variant: [Download]

This ROM includes my DT2W-kernel from a few hours ago. Additional changes are:

Changelog:

Includes DT2W-enabled kernel.

DT2W can be enabled/disabled at Settings -> Display.

Changed from the kernel released a few hours ago: The tolerance regarding the distance between the two taps to wake the device has been increased. Before, the two taps had to be in almost the exactly same spot.

Based on latest LineageOS 14.1 sources. This also fixes the KRACK vulnerability.

Notes:

DT2W is disabled by default (I think)! After flashing this ROM, you need to go to "Settings -> Display" to enable option called "Tap to wake".

DT2W probably decreases battery life, but I don't know by how much. Feedback on this is very appreciated!

Disabling DT2W completely disables it inside the touchscreen driver. This means that battery life should not be affected at all if DT2W is disabled from the system settings.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] tombraga:
in my case (i had installed the Kernel few hours ago), i have to install also the rom, yes? To get the settings options, right?

And also after installing the rom, sure i have to flash supersu to mantain o root, yes?
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] DerEineDa:
Yes, yes and yes.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] tombraga:
it´s only interesting for me to understand, why this small addon DT2W could have more battery consumption?

the action is only executed randomly, 2 short tabs with the finger :confused:
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] DerEineDa:
That's because for DT2W the touchscreen needs to be powered even when the display is off. Without power, the touchscreen wouldn't be able to register any touches (duh!).
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] tombraga:
so it is nearly the same as the display would stay switched on the whole time?
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] DerEineDa:
No, touchscreen and display are completely different devices. Just because the touchscreen is glued to the display, that doesn't make them one device ;)
