The Yoga Tab 3 Plus does not have a projector.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] janforman:
What about battery pack? Maybe cells are LiHV? Because 4.35V looks like that. I saw some with sticker 3.75V on it which is strange, more than ordinary LiPol.

Or maybe there are some voltage loss in circuit around each cell?
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] DerEineDa:
I think you are on to something! I've searched the web for the exact model of the battery (L16D3K31 - written on the packaging and found this for example. Directly onto the battery is written:

- Voltage: 3.75VDC

- Limited charging voltage: 4.35VDC

I am no chemist, but it looks to me like 4.35V is by design, so it's no issue with the kernel.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] iEtudie:
Sorry, I thought both tab 3 plus and tab 3 pro had a projector.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] BlackAfghan:
No it is Lithium Ions! They are round and it's also what is written in the sources. They can take the 4.35V because they are good quality ones, although it takes it's toll due reduced lifetime.. But that's the same with all phones, although wouldn't have been nessesary for this tablet.

So if you want to extent the life of the battery, don't charge it to 100%! If you only charge it to 85%, this would approximately double the lifetime/number if charges (and increase safety too).
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] janforman:
Lenovo says Lithium Polymer, sticker Lithium Ion and voltage looks like LiHV (LiPo with another chemistry)

Pretty crazy... :eek: ordinary Li-On don't last long with 4.35V it can be only 20 cycles. Maybe there are more types in our tablet. Of course it's better to use aprox 20-85%
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] BlackAfghan:
Normally Lithium Polymer batteries are used for phones and tablets, since they can be made in flat shapes. But ours are round, and as far as I know nobody ever made a round Lithium Polymer battery.. Also it doesn't make any difference in how they are charged.

I have some high quality Panasonic 18350, and they can be charged to 4.35V, although only 4.2 are recommended. But according to the spec sheet, 4.35V reduces the cycle count by about 50%-75%, meaning you'd only get about 200 full charges instead of over 500.

Since they are the best available, and not extremely expensive, Lenovo most likely used similar ones, if not the same.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] tombraga:
That's the reason I use the "battery charge limit" app, which does this job automatically and works perfect with our tablet.

[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] tombraga:
Didn't know this, thanks. In the morning the battery showed me 85% and I thought it is working. How could I know it better?

So what is better? To charge to 100% (what you don't advise in you post before) or to use this app?
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] DeathHacker:
Isn't that the point, to disable the AC input?
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] BlackAfghan:
Use this app..

---------- Post added at 07:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:21 AM ----------

Yeah.. but it would be even better if you could use it plugged in without discharging the battery.

But if you plug it out anyways every day, there won't be much of a difference..
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] tombraga:
When I use the app, I let the cable the whole time plugged in.

The tablet don't charge when it is between the defined values, for example 85% maximum and 2% tolerance.

That means, the app controls to start charging again when the battery has 82% by normal standby battery drain.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] tombraga:
Which is the minimum % you suggest when we should recharge the tablet, also thinking to extent the life of the battery?

Normally i don´t let it go under 20%, i try to recharge always between 30 and 35 %.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] janforman:
I have Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro, about 3 years. Everything I do is charge from 0-100% from begining. Battery is like brand new I can reach 5 days on standby with some call (1 day on heavy use).

Most of other people changed that battery long time ago (go down after some hours). In mobile phone or tablet you discharge them really quickly so full initial charge is marginal problem.

Don't let them fully charged for long time that's all. But that long time is very much hours. Voltage is falling relatively fast.

What battery don't like is obvious - very often charging above 70% (almost every day a lot of people do that). This is very bad.

Do cycles from 15% to 85%, but don't charge it 70-85-100% almost nonstop.

About deep discharge, have some LiPos (drops to 1V), there's no problem about life span, but with charging (because it's problematic and dangerous).

When they are in battery pack it must be separated to cells. They have very big internal resistance when discharged.

In my notebook I have 6 years old batterypack witch is over 85% nominal capacity (nobody care for that battery and it's relatively fine),

but I have second NB and battery is completely destroyed by me (AC-on for a lot of days - 10 maybe) - dies after that incident almost instantly no problems since.

How does the camera work in Video calls like Skype, thats the only time i use it.

Any update on supporting the lte Version?

Thx

Is Dolby atmos available in all apps in this rom?

---------- Post added at 03:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:04 PM ----------

Thank you for your excellent work!

the Dolby atmos crashed in the latest version, and the screen flickers when screen auto turns off. (Sorry for my poor English)

Thank you again!

Can you make it for the Lenovo yoga tab 3 8 inch LTE model?
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] DerEineDa:
I don't use Skype, so I didn't test it.

Sorry, no update on the LTE version. I don't own this device, so it would be very diffucult to support it.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] DerEineDa:
No, sorry, the hardware of this device is very different.

Theres a diffrence with Android its 32-bit and the prossesor
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] matshias:
Well that's because of SE Linux. We switched to enforcing with the latest releases. These Dolby Atmos mods need permissive as you can read in the linked thread. So you have to change that then it should work again. It is on the todo list to add SE Linux support for this.

Yes, that seems sensible..
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] bhun:
After I heard that the official Nougat is out I did some research on every possible hint that could indicate wether this update is worth or not. I could not find much but from my standpoint I am staying on your Lineage. The official update has a lower security update level, the camera has problems on focusing (what you managed to resolve ;):good:), there is still no option to calibrate screen and yet who knows what else might not work correctly. So in this case it does not really matter what exactly the official update patches if it is not reachable to those who would gladly know more about it.

I am really grateful, that you and the others took the challenge and did this wonderful work. In all what I did understand and experienced myself the current rom has only a few tiny things to improve, the rotation fix (I do not want to root it just to gain acess to build prop), and maybe the future security updates. This rom is awesomly good, stable and although I did not try the dt2w option yet (I'll wait till next release with that one ;)), it has the most useful options wich makes this tab the "king of tablets" available out there. Thank you again for the awsome job! If we get an Oreo just as nice as this one, that will be the absolut edge. Big thanks to all of you who support this device with your precios knowledge! :victory:
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] hmsq:
Hi guys,

Quick question.

So watching netflix and when I crop in by un-pinching the screen, there is some garble of colours on the edge of the screen, is this a netflix app bug or something with the rending with LineageOS?

I've attached 2 pictures, one pinched in and the other unpinched.

Thanks
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] BlackAfghan:
Well to be honest we don't really have a higher security level than the stock ROM. As with all other custom ROMs, it's fake or more exactly it only relates to the Android system component (which is the most important part nevertheless).

That means our kernel is not up to date and the binary components are frankly more than outdated. If we would apply Googles definition of the security level (which Lenovo is legally obliged to follow), we wouldn't be better than July 2016..

But the good news is that DerEineDa is working hard on implementing the new stock binaries, and I'm working on a new and totally revised kernel, which will contain the very latest fixes (and also new features and performance improvements).
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] DeathHacker:
Sorry to keep nagging about this, but is there any way that the opus bug would be fixed? Is it an upstream issue?

The bug is that when playing opus files, the track will stutter for a bit at random intervals, which is very noticeable and annoying, making opus pretty much unplayable.

That's great news, once again thank you all for the effort you put into this!
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] bhun:
WOW!!!:D You guys are awesome! I hope you know that! I'd wish I had the time and knowledge to support you more than some words of appreciation and encouragement.

Thank you so much for your hard and honest work! This tab is really a value because of your wonderful efforts. Keep up the good work! :good:

The way I see it right now there is no such thing as better security level, even when a company does care about improving their products. It is a struggle to keep up with all the security holes that remain uncovered while new products and features are implemented. I am fighting against it in my daily job (Windows system administration).

For right now I do not find any good reason to return to stock rom although my tab is yet under warranty. :D

I know I should now for the eventuality of something going wrong and not have a chance to go back to stock, but I think I'll just risk it because on stock there is really nothing that good, and that rom is also not bug free. Nowadays, sadly, it is common that more and more companies are pushing half ready software products wich cause lots of troubles for users and that sometimes for an awful lot of money. I find it very disgusting.

I really do not get it why Lenovo is limiting some features that should be default these days in an Android rom, for example the option to switch software buttons, control screen settings and so on. I think they could learn a lot from devs like you.

The only problem is that the companies behind such projects have only dollars before their eyes and they are not really pursuing such noble goals as to make their products better while earning some bucks in addition. I miss those old times when companies like for example Suzuki had to move on doing new things (engineering cars and motors now) because their sewing machines just did not went broke.

Nevertheless that is why your "volunteer" work is so precious, and you guys deserve all our appreciation. Thank you very much again! :highfive:

I gotta admit, I bought this tablet today because I saw that there's a custom LineageOS rom for it.

Just flashed it and everything. My usage will be fairly basic - a lot of reading, note taking and some video watching. I can't wait to enjoy this bloatware-free setup. Thank you so much for making this rom.

battery charge problem

Hello guys,

i wounder if the overcharging issue has been fixed, could anyone know say please and thanks in advance
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] BlackAfghan:
Turned out that there was no issue in the first place. Our ROM does charge the battery very high, but so do all versions of the stock ROM (DerEineDa tried them all). So no reason to worry about it anymore!
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] gkhp81:
Thanks for the reply, though I just had some time to test with the stock android and was digging some general forums. So I believe the question is not really NTFS so allow me to ask one more question :o

Do you support GPT? I had to realize the MBR partition style which can be used with NTFS filesystem has the 2TB limit as well. So the main difference is that NTFS w MBR formatted sticks can be read with the tablet but not the NTFS w GPT - which is required for 2TB+ disks.

Or is there anyone who could successfully attach an external HDD larger than 2TB, formatted in one single volume?

Many thanks and Happy New Year to all ya!

cheers
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] BlackAfghan:
No, not yet. But I will try to include it in the new kernel.

Dropping WiFi connection a few times 5GHZ

Iam connecting to 5ghz access point and so my laptop and galaxy note 5 none of them dropped the connection but tab 3 plus

When I was on the stock rom it did not stop the connection but now a few time automatically dropping and reconnect

What could it be ?
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] android_53:
I have that Problem too, at 5 ghz and 2,4 ghz, but only if there is an repeater in that WLAN. I'm not shure, if that Problem occurred on Stock also.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] tombraga:
Happens with me too
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] gkhp81:
Thanks a lot for the quick Reply. So this is theoretically possible. Nice to know!

I will keep checking in for updates and once this option available I really won't have an excuse not to install this ROM (despite all my fears that I brick my device) :)

Huge thx in advance!
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] BlackAfghan:
The tablet has generally a very good 5G reception. The new kernel will have new Wi-Fi drivers, maybe they are better.. Otherwise there is nothing we can do about it.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] waleed.star99:
When will it come out ? With android 7.1.2
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] BlackAfghan:
We don't know yet; the cameras are not working at the moment, and it is not tested enough yet. But I hope we can make another release for 7.1.2 with the new kernel and new blobs from the official Nougat release.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] waleed.star99:
Yes please stabilize the 7.1.2 before jumping to Oreo and thanks in advance

I also think step by step...
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] CrashMan054:
I recently had a weird issue with this ROM. I had charged the battery about a day ago, to 100%. When I turned the tablet off for the night, I still had 80%. I tried to turn it on the next night, and it wouldn't turn on - the status light said the battery was totally dead. Plugged it in and it turned on, said the battery was at 0. Had to charge it to full and use a battery calibration app. Seems good now, but what would cause this?

And I still haven't been able to get an answer on whether Netflix is supposed to play in HD. I have L1 and everything. Please help...
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] janforman:
Maybe some crazy application in background drain your battery.

About Netflix, I think that device must be whitelisted and non-rooted.

https://help.netflix.com/en/node/23939 -> there are only Yoga Tab 3 Pro, Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 and Qualcomm Snapdragon 630
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] waleed.star99:
in fact even facebook wont run video in hd why is this ?
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] DerEineDa:
I am still in the process of merging the blobs from the stock nougat firmware. There are also some changes in the wifi configuration files. I don't know if it will make any difference, but we will see.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] BlackAfghan:
There is a new plugin for Kodi, which probably works with our tablet. But I don't have a Netflix account to test it. Google for "kodi netflix" and try it out. It should also work with the stock ROM.

Only 180p video at Facebook app

What about video in Facebook app ?

I can only see 180p on tablet and on my PC same video run HD on Fb what's the problem? Security level is L1 at DRM key into app
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] BlackAfghan:
I'm not aware of any DRM issue with Facebook. Sounds like a problem with that app, and even if it is due the ROM, there is nothing we can do about it. DRM basically works with our ROM. If some apps choose to have whitelists, there is nothing we can do about it..

I'd like to note that our custom ROM supports L1 and that most devices only support L3, even with their stock ROMs!

Happy new year by the way! :svetius:

how you cant do anything ? there must be something wrong make this happening
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] bhun:
It is more likely a matter who is responsible for what.

Our devs work on the rom an they are not responsible for the thousands of apps developed by also lots of other devs out there. We do not live in a perfect world.

Ofcourse it is not good when an app does not work as intended or does not support the features any more that we would require, but there is nothing, or very limited, we can do about it. You should eventually nag the devs of those apps also a bit, asking why that option is not available or not working in the first place an then turn eventually to our devs with the answer from the app designers. That way you could at least try to contribute to getting the app to work on Lineage. I am not meaning to lecture anyone, but these steps would be logical for me as a person who is also working in IT Support.

I think what BlackAfghan meant was something in that direction. As mentioned before you should ask the app devs wether they added some limitations because that could be also a reason. If the cause is known one could eventually do something against it. Best of luck! I hope you will eventually get that full hd working again.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] waleed.star99:
Man I understand but it's just HD video in Facebook app really it's no big deal
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] DerEineDa:
Right, it's no big deal, so it is of very low priority ;)
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] DerEineDa:
Thanks, that's on point!

Also, there are more things to keep in mind:

We are just porting LineageOS to our device, we are not developing LineageOS itself. If there are bugs in LineageOS, we probably won't/can't fix them, but we will report them upstream.

We are building LineageOS from the current state of their git repositories. These are not stable snapshots! The builds are more like "nightly builds". So, whenever we build a new release, there may be bugs in the current state of LineageOS that are just not in our responsibility.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Gogoho:

[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] BlackAfghan:
Well it turned out that GPT is already supported by our kernel and probably by the stock ROM, too. Although I don't know how you were able to use NTFS with the stock ROM..
