Thanks Vlad for the new builds!

And concerning the extended version/new kernel:

It is still under development, but should be fine for everybody, since it has been debugged by the whole dev team for several weeks. A lot of thinks have been changed (I'll post a changelog later) and it is under development for over 6 months now. But you should use it if:

1. you are concerned about security

2. if you suffer from backlight flickering issues

3. if you are still having Wifi issues (uses other drivers)

4. if you had any other issue with the standard build

5. if you want to help with development and accelerate the release of LOS 15.1

If you report any bugs, please state which version you are using!
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] waleed.star99:
could u tell us later exactly full details about the normal and the extended ? and are u sure the extended is safe for the device ? because the kernel can break the device forever the custom kernel i mean
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] BlackAfghan:
If you are concerned about hardware damages, I can assure you is at least as safe as the standard version. But if you want to be sure, download both versions. If the extended version makes problems, just flash the normal one..
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] karapoutsoglou:
dolby atmos works perfectly with the extended new version!!!! amazing new version!!!! super fast and smooth as butter. thank you soooo much all of you.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] channy1210:
Is Dolby Atmos part of the extended version rom? Or do I have to install the Dolby Atmos zip file from the OP?

Currently I have flashed the extended version LTE ROM, but when I try to flash the dolby atmos zip file in TWRP I get the following error message "Unsupported device. Aborting... Updater process ended with ERROR 1"
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] karapoutsoglou:
i flashed the extended version and gapps after having deleted system, cache and art. then i let it boot. didnt check if atmos was installed. then rebooted and installed atmos, xposed and supersu. then rebooted and everything was fine. i downloaded the atmos from the OP.

and the zip S000973_180524_ROW u provided has mistake, the file named adspso.mbn and it should be adspso.bin so i had to extract the files and put them to new zip file to rename the file so i can flash with twrp or i will get error 7 as the pic saying could u please and fix ?
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] BlackAfghan:
Thanks, yes the new kernel should also be faster. But I don't know how much exactly, compared to the old kernel.

Have you installed Vlad's new TWRP? I think the old Dolby installer won't work with it. But I've sent him a new version..
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] vladimiroltean:
Sorry, there was a mistake in the YTX703F firmware zip file, that prevented you from being able to flash it. You can re-download and try again now.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] channy1210:
I'm using the old TWRP version 3.2.1.0.

Full disclosure, I also have the YTX703X LTE model, which i know i isn't supported, but i wanted to give your ROMS a try. Everything seems to be running fine, besides flashing dolby atmos.

Will you be supporting the YTX703X LTE model? I made a TWRP back up before installing your ROMs which i could share.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] vladimiroltean:
Sure, please share all the info you have on the YTX703X. I don't even know in what way it differs from the L, or where to buy it from.

Blind support has worked relatively okay for the F so far, so I'd say it's feasible if you could share the tablet's files. Ideally you could dump the entire emmc (/dev/block/mmcblk0) from a TWRP booted from RAM (fastboot boot twrp.img) but not flashed. This way I can also figure out possible partition table differences and also be able to provide a firmware zip.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] BlackAfghan:
Mhh that's weird, I guess you have installed the L model TWRP, which should make it think that you actually have the L model for the purpose of device detection. But yeah would be great if you could give us much info as possible. Is video playback working fine for you?

As a quick fix you could open the Dolby ZIP and look for a file called "update-binary". In there you can simply remove the section, which detects the device.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] tombraga:
What is the reason that in the extended version DT2W is disabled? I like this build, but I also like the DT2W...

How can I enable it in the extended build?

Can you tell me something about it, [MENTION=411194]BlackAfghan[/MENTION] ? thanks
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] channy1210:
I bought mine in Australia. Most likely it was Asia/Oceania model.

So the back up i created was via the backup button in TWRP. It created a folder with the following files:

boot.emmc.win

boot.emmc.win.sha2

data.ext4.win

data.ext4.win.sha2

data.info

recovery.log

system.ext4.win000

system.ext4.win000.sha2

system.ext4.win001

system.ext4.win001.sha2

system.info

system_image.emmc.win

system_image.emmc.win.sha2

Let me know which files you want or if you want the whole thing.

Yes, I used twrp-3.2.1-0-yt_x703l.img to install YTX703L (LTE) - extended version. Video playback is working fine. Will try the Dolby quick fix on the weekend.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] BlackAfghan:
Not working yet.. Sometimes it doesn't wake up immediately. I'm working on it..
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Gomezie:
Thanks for the latest extended update, running like a dream!
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] vladimiroltean:
It would be nice to have system_image.emmc.win and boot.emmc.win.

PM'ed you
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] peddarson:
With the latest release I've got a lot of screen flickering. It is the normal version and I have updated the firmware, dirty flash
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] BlackAfghan:
Try out the extended one, please! And report back if it makes a difference..
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] karapoutsoglou:
funny. with extended version i had ONCE, after the dirty install of the extended rom and after the first boot, that screen flickering for only a couple of seconds. i was afraid i would face a bug but it never happened again.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] BlackAfghan:
I used to have that issue too once per day or so. I think I fixed it in the new kernel. Although I'm not sure what the exact issue was, and if it is the same one for everybody. But I know I haven't had it a single time for many months now.. :)

However, to be 100% correct: all screens flicker, due the backlight technique used. But it shouldn't be very noticeable for most people..

But please report, if you still suffer from it with the extended ROM or if switching to it solved it for you!
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] peddarson:
Actually now I made a clean flash and the flickering is gone. Didn't have any yet
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] BlackAfghan:
With which version?

But it is a low level hardware issue. Nothing a clean flash could fix. I don't know how many people ever were affected by it. Only know of me and a few people here..
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] janforman:
I have it too before my device repair, i think it's some hardware problem, but not often visible (once per day or two).

After repair (i have other motherboard, because of broken charging after some month of use) problem dissapeared.

Maybe it's related to dynamic corrections (brightness must have fast response) and static electricity. But nobody can answer that question, it's happening on other devices too.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] peddarson:
Well I came from an older version (April I believe). I also got some fc's after dirty flashing. So maybe something went a bit wrong.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Segelflugpilot:
would it be possible to edit the first post to help the new user like me? What is the Date of the Security Patch by Google?

I have to flash this https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=817906626617952577 or the Zip from the first post? Cause they are not perfectly the same and must not do this anymore https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76962954&postcount=1699 ?

If i have stock 7.1.1 installed, must i flash the S000973 firmware onces time before installing LineageOS?

Thanks for helping me:)
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] janforman:
Yes, it's like before, flash this zip and enable dolby atmos in application. Other sound aplications must be disabled (only one can work at a time).
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] vladimiroltean:
Just flash the 973 firmware zip for your device (there's no downside if you already were on the proper stock version).

There is no rain dance necessary with SELinux with the latest July build. It was necessary before.

The Dolby zip linked in the top post (Google Drive) and the older one on AFH should be functionally identical.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] sth0r:
Hello iam trying to update to the last version of the stock firmware, but iam getting an error when the tablet trys to do ota...
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] vladimiroltean:
Your cmnlib partition is somehow different than stock S000689, so it can't update (since it only patches the partitions).

Sadly I don't have a stock dump of S000689 to help you, but if LineageOS is what you want, you can unlock bootloader now, install TWRP, jump to the latest firmware via TWRP and also LineageOS. What you don't get this way is full S000973 Android (system image) but just the firmware. If stock Android is what you want, there is a MEGA.co.nz lying around with stock fastboot roms.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Segelflugpilot:
i always get failure 1 when installing atmos, unsupported device. I have flashed the extended LTE Version. How to fix that?

edit: oh only the old Version, so not the one at the first post, from androidfilehost works... so there must be a different?

Edit: atmos is installed but not working. No demo and changes with the equalizer makes nothing
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] janforman:
Demo movie is removed from this ZIP because of size, so this is normal. Don't you have enabled any other sound application? Something like AudioFX etc.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] BlackAfghan:
No other sound stuff from Lineage OS is removed during installation.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] sth0r:
is it recovery i need to flash to get back to stock, i think i just did system and boot.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Segelflugpilot:
i do not have another sound applications:( I try it with stock music app in LineageOS and Poweramp.

Or does it really only effects atmos sounds?

Edit:hm did someone have problems with activation of bought apps?
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] tombraga:
charging problem

my tablet (wifi) did not charge any more. last build installed was the extended version of 20180709

I tried with other charger, other charging cable, but same thing.

charging signal showed "loading", but the battery status kept on 37% the whole time.

then i re-installed the "normal" version of 20180709 (not extended) and now it is charging again.

but perhaps i should have done a normal system reboot, before i reinstalled the normal version, perhaps it also would have returned to charge??
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] BlackAfghan:
No it affects all sounds, are you sure you have activated it or so? If you can open the Atmos settings app it should work..

There was a general issue with Play Store recently. Try out to update it manually.

---------- Post added at 01:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:12 PM ----------

Are you sure that it wasn't because of the Battery Charge Limit app you use? Please uninstall that and try again!

Anybody else having issues with charging and the extended version?
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Segelflugpilot:
to test it, i play music or a video and switch it off/on in the app, change the equalizer but nothing happend
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] vladimiroltean:
The charging issues were characteristic of the previous (taken down since) build. I am able to charge fine using the extended version's kernel, and you should be too. I now have some doubts that you're running what I think you are. Can you flash back the extended version and report back what does the first line of About tablet -> Kernel version read?

As to Dolby issues, are you sure you flashed the v23 zip?
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Segelflugpilot:
yes the one from filehost, the one from you get canceled with error 1 as i write above:/

ty for supporting me!
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] vladimiroltean:
Interesting. Does anybody else get unsupported device when trying to flash the Dolby zip from the top post? If yes, it might be my bug; if no, it might be a symptom of a deeper issue with your system setup.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Segelflugpilot:
so should i sent you a report from something?
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] vladimiroltean:
A picture of TWRP giving the unsupported device error should make it clear if you're doing anything wrong or not.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Segelflugpilot:

[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] vladimiroltean:

LOL.. told you not to mess around with the Dolby installer!

My original Dolby-YTX703-v23.zip, which used to be on AFH, works just fine. Don't use the hacked version from Google Drive!
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Segelflugpilot:
i have upload them again.

[MENTION=411194]BlackAfghan[/MENTION]: I used the one of you i think. But yeah not difference:(

edit: and did someone else have no activation with bought apps like titanium backup?
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] BlackAfghan:
I don't think so, I checked your log and my old version should work perfectly fine.

I've send a new version to Vlad one week ago, but he refuses to upload it. Instead he uploaded his own (non working) version, against my advise...

The file is too large for an attachment, so please ask Vlad, if he finally wants to upload the proper version. ;)
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] vladimiroltean:

Please continue to support your original Dolby zip and excuse me for trying to help.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] BlackAfghan:

Dolby

Please use the old version of Dolby (https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=817906626617952577) together with the official TWRP (https://eu.dl.twrp.me/yt_x703f or https://eu.dl.twrp.me/yt_x703l) until further notice. Sorry for any inconveniences!
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Segelflugpilot:
the new Dolby v24 solved the Problem for me:) Thanks for the support here.

But i still do not know what could cause apps cannot valid my buying with the google server. I thougt i would be xposed but i turned it off and it is the same and the data security from Lineage OS is not the problem too:(
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] BlackAfghan:
Your welcome, I've sent Vlad the new v24 Dolby (again). Let's hope it makes it to the first post..

Concerning paid apps: please try the latest OpenGApps. If that still doesn't work, try one from last month. There was an XDA news report about google publishing a non working APK, a couple of days ago.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Segelflugpilot:
i have flashed the last pico for that, on my S7 that works great. Maybe i try nano or an old one. Big thanks!
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] tombraga:
I am not sure that it wasn´t because the battery charge limit app. Perhaps this app has some conflict with the extended version, don´t know.

But now with normal version and battery charge limit app working, there is everything ok.

I like the extended version, but perhaps i wait to reinstall until DT2W is working on extended. Now i have it in normal version and i like it to avoid to use the weak power button.

Could someone please help me out by issueing these commands inside a root shell and upload the resulting file "persist.dd.img"?

cd /sdcard
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/persist of=persist.dd.img
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] DeathHacker:
Do you mean on stock ROM, or does it matter if I already flashed LOS?

DRM is at L1, my persist partition is at https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2xK-EVULA8KTU82N1NxWlFlclE/view?usp=drivesdk
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] DerEineDa:
Doesn't matter as long as the app "DRM Info" still shows L1 for Widevine instead of L3.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] SenK9:
Thanks to the developers for continuing work on this ROM, it's the reason why I bought up this device today. After a string of unsatisfying Samsung tablets, I decided to give the Lenovo a shot (I also have a Lenovo Z2 phone).

Took a backup of entire stock image in TWRP and a dd dump of keystore.img straightaway and flashed this ROM. So far so good, only had the password issue on first flash, which a factory reset fixed as one of the earlier posts instructed. Waiting for the next build before trying out encryption.

Keep up the good work! I am happy to do testing and troubleshooting if needed.

EDIT: Request - Any hope of getting deodexed version?

Also, Is there any way to symlink the /storage/(sdcard UUID)/ to something like /external_sd/ like on some ROMs? Would be easier for typing into apps and also persist across SDcard changes?
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] BlackAfghan:
Why do you need a deodexed version? But there will be MicroG support for the next release (which should come out today).

The DRM keys are most likely stored in the persist-partition, so backup that too! Btw, after much research into the issue we concluded that a lost of those is not possible, as long as you only install recent versions of the ROM!

Symlink to the SD-Card? Maybe, I'll think about that.. Unless you can provide a reference implementation for the ramdisk, than it shouldn't be a problem.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] SenK9:
Yes, you read my mind, that's exactly why, to use MicroG. At the moment, I'm using Fulmic's deodex tool in a Windows VM (I don't know how to deodex in Linux), then pushing the files back, then only being able to patch signature spoofing with Tingle like normal to get MicroG working.

Thank you for adding MicroG support in the next release, and also the tip on the persist partition. I will back that up too.

As for sdcard, I'm actually not referring to a ramdisk, just a shortcut. For example, at the moment it's /storage/{148719-247124} (just an example) to get to the external SD. But if the card is upgraded or swapped at any time, then all apps which reference external public storage will break (ie. Syncthing, Foldersync, file explorers, media players, etc) since the new card will have a completely different ID. I've seen some ROMs which make a shortcut of something like /external_sd/ or /sdcard1/ which goes straight into the card, so no reconfiguration in apps is required when cards are swapped.

It's not a major issue, just a convenience one, and I more than understand if LOS has specific requirements around these type of things being implemented.

In any case, once again great work to the whole team
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] BlackAfghan:
The only way, it would be feasible is by creating a link at boot time. But I'm sure you could make something more universal with a tool like Tasker..
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] DerEineDa:
New version released!

Please update as soon as possible to avoid potential overheating of your device!

There are now two variants of this ROM: The "Pure LineageOS" variant is the same as before. I suggest using this variant for the average user.

The "Extended LineageOS" variant is for those of you with special requirements. Currently there is support for Substratum and MicroG patched in.

Changelog:

Fixed using wrong thermal engine (critical bugfix).

Fixed default rotation to landscape.

Fixed encryption.

Fixed Dolby Atmos (use our optional addon package).

Fixed resetting clock on boot.

Added ROM variant with compatibility to MicroG and Substratum theme engine.

Updated major parts of the kernel from upstream, including newest security updates.

Updated to latest LineageOS sources.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Gomezie:
Thanks for all your hard work, I am quite eager to try this tonight! :good:

Do you possibly know of a post,link,blog whatever that has a guide on moving to or adopting MicroG? I have flashed this on devices in the past without ever really knowing how best to use it etc... Apologies for the slightly offtopic question, but id really like to use MicroG properly.:good:

Kind regards
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] SenK9:
Thanks for the update devs. I can confirm that full device encryption works very well, only took about 10-15 minutes to encrypt the device. Also, MicroG on the extended version of the ROM works perfectly, spoofing can be easily enabled from MicroG itself, no framework patching required, what a huge relief. Also Dolby Atmos is working well, beautiful sound.

Incredible work by all the devs, some of the best work I've seen for any device. Hopefully you guys have a tip jar / address one day and I am more than happy to buy you all a few beers! My tablet is working exactly how I like now.

EDIT: Just checked my DRM info and it's still on L1, wonderful

EDIT2: Spoke too soon, seems like location not working, can't pickup any GPS satellites, still diagnosing

[MENTION=3673090]Gomezie[/MENTION]: Have you tried the MicroG threads? HERE and HERE. You basically just install MicroG instead of GApps, add your Google account, add a few network location providers (NLPs) and apps will use that instead of Play Services.
