Hi, hmmm that sounds interesting.

I used ES File Explorer and a NTFS formatted (MBR) USB Stick, 16GB could be read (OTG).

The stock ROM alerts that "there's a problem" and I need to format the drive nevertheless, ES File Explorer can read and I could open media files, so in the end VLC was able to read the files on it too. (note: I thought maybe my router did "somehing" to the disk that renders it unreadable - though I handled the stick exactly as the HDD - formatted in windows and created some root folders for SMB share with my router)

When I attach the 4TB HDD (OTG + external power) however, ES Filexplorer tells me that the FS is not supported - even though it's formatted NTFS. The only difference as I learned is that it's GPT - since it's more than 2TB. I always thought that only the file system matters and NTFS will always support more than 2TB - though this is not the case as it seems.

There's a TCMD plugin from Paragon Software that is intended to read NTFS disks and with that I could see the content of the disk - though that seemed unstable, and it didn't help to play the media files from the disk (aka to open content in 3rd party apps, like VLC).

If I let android format the disk it's FAT32 MBR and only 1,6TB of the disk is usable... :( and of course no support for files larger than 2GB.

I tried exFAT as well - no success.

So I gave up with the conclusion NTFS + GPT is what I'd need... based on the experience I had. I hope I have time in the upcoming days and test your build. I could than share my experience with it too.

Cheers!

Hi there,I've tried both of wifi and LTE version, and I found out the wifi sinal and performance of LTE is way better than yours,I hope you can improve it , and sorry about my lousy English

Thanks for the great ROM. Just bought you a beer. Enjoy
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] DerEineDa:
Thanks, I appreciate it! But what I really need right now instead of beer is some cough medicine. I am sick right now, hence the lack of posts at this time :(

B1G CH33RS! Finally installed the ROM (after some stupid mistake) and I can report: attached the 4TB NTFS formatted HDD (GPT) - the ROM notified me it is doing some preparing/error checking (it took a bit, about 1-2 minutes or so) and now the HDD is accessible with all data on it, without any tricks/workarounds!!!!

Awesomeness. I need to test the ROM itself and some software but so far sooo goood! :good::good::good:

Hello,

I have the YT3-X50F version, is it compatible?

Thank you very much for the development.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] novebis:
It will not serve you, it's for the X70F, it's a different model, do not install it.

Hi,why is the cellular network signal using so much battery

Feedback

So this is my feedback on the ROM!

I installed pure Lineage OS and the nano openG. I am using MS Launcher.

I have to start with this: there is one negative that hits me huge time: ChromeCast issue.

I'd be glad to help to find the root cause (though I am not skilled enough on my on) or hear feedback from other users as currently I do like the GPT but it's less important than smoth ChromeCast mediaplayback.

Short story: I use VLC to play media on the device and often I Cast the screen to my CC device. VLC does not have full CC support but a 'half-legged' one. (you cast the screen, not the app, you cannot send the device sleep, but the device won't play the video and goes black but you can still control with normal VLC gestures)

On stock I had smooth playback even 1080p had no problems though with this ROM the following happens:

every ~3 minutes the playback stops and skips about 1-2 seconds. It cannot be a buffer problem (I guess) as it not simply stops and loads and goes on from that point where it stopped but skips those 1-2 seconds.

if I play on the device the playback is smooth. I tried multiple files (SD,720p,1080p) - all seem to be the same, though all of them is mkv.

I also turned off device guard for VLC. And this happens regardless of the launcher. As well as with the stock and the MS launcher.

I will try this playback with as many file types as possible maybe I learn something new but in the meantime if anyone has any suggestion where to look to find the root cause...

If I cannot get rid of the problem I will have to go back to stock as this is more annyoying than the need for the GPT support :(

thx in advance

General feedback:

+ WIFI seems to be more stable/steady as on stock

+ AppGuard

+ GPT support (huge plus for me!)

+ overall more settings/tweaks possible than on stock

+ more recent security update

- there seem to be performance drop back in compare to stock (7.1) (regardless of launcher, after I installed MS launcher, I turned on performance mode - no change in this regards)

apps start with a delay, some play store apps crash sometimes
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] cartman56:
Thanks for the answer:good:
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] waleed.star99:
more stable lineage 14.1

when will new update come with new wifi configuration so the dropping issue may be get solved ? also lineage 14.1 use more ram the the stock do (system ram) maybe reduce it next release ?

thanks in advance
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Gogoho:
ram not used is ram wasted.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] DeathHacker:
Unless something else could use it better.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] cartman56:
I agree with the wifi issue, it is too bad
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] DerEineDa:
Merging the new blobs from stock nougat isn't as easy as I expected. I still have some issues regarding encryption of the device. I will not release a new build including the new blobs as long as it isn't as stable as the current release. The issues with encryption probably have to do with the old kernel sources. Unfortunately, Lenovo didn't release the kernel source of there nougat firmware yet. I really hate Lenovo for that.

I probably can't/won't change anything regarding RAM management, because this is part of LineageOS itself and not specific to this device.

If anyone notices new kernel sources to download here, please ping me :)
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] gkhp81:
-unfortunately I had problems with playing other file types as well (VLC+chromecast).

-Kodi kept freezing when device went to sleep.

-But the biggest issue: the support for the 4TB HDD was not really stable. every mount took about 1-2 minutes, I could use only the built-in file explorer to see the disk - I could then open movie in VLC and it was playing fine however KODI for instance did not recognize the disk.

-LineageOS update could not connect to check updates

-factory reset from th device was not working

I restored the stock ROM. I am not happy but thanks anyway that I had the possibility to try. I am very sad about android always being "almost" there.

I definitely will give a go if there are major updates to the ROM...
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] DerEineDa:
Good thing that the support for 4TB HDDs in stock is rock stable :)
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] DerEineDa:
Small update: I've fixed the issue regarding encryption and all hardware components are working, but using the new blobs my tablet occasionally reboots itself. As soon as I've found and fixed the cause for that I will release an experimental build.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] janforman:
Cool :D and what about other firmwares in stock ROM? Can be extracted and flashed without erasing LineageOS? Maybe it can fix some things...
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] DerEineDa:
Other firmwares can be flashes separately and I plan to release a firmware-only zip to flash.

In fact, because I already have the new firmwares installed, I don't really know if the new blobs even work with the old firmware. So the new firmware may be necessary.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] reticuli:
Looking forward to use the new firmware! Thank you for all the work!
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Gabenoid:
I use ttorrent app with default settings on stock nougat rom and it reboots sometimes. It reboots more when i use ttorrent and watching videos at the same time. Maybe it is a stock rom bug.:(
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] DerEineDa:
The next release including the new blobs is working fine for me, so I plan to release a beta-release very soon.

We also have a prototype of the firmware-zip ready, which I plan to flash onto my device today. If things go very wrong with this and I brick my device, this ROM project would be dead :p Exciting day!
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] karapoutsoglou:

[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] DerEineDa:
Hello, brave people!

Here are the promised flashable zip-files to update the firmware of your device to the ones of the recent stock nougat release! We've tested both files thoroughly, so I am confident that nothing bad happens when flashing these.

Wifi-only device firmware

LTE device firmware

Sources on GitHub are here.

If you ever had the stock nougat firmware installed, you do not need to flash this firmware. It won't hurt anyway, though.

Please, if you flashed one of these files, please give a short feedback if everything worked for you or not!

The next ROM release may need this updated firmwares! Or maybe not, but I won't check this. I won't release the next ROM until I have confirmation that both of these zips work for you guys.

Big thanks to [MENTION=7398554]vladimiroltean[/MENTION] for creating these zips!
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] DeathHacker:
Flashed the WiFi one, works fine as far as I can tell. Didn't notice any issues, I'll update this if I come across any.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Tribble:
The new LTE firmware seems to work without noticeable problems on my device too. :fingers-crossed:
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] DerEineDa:
Thanks guys! New beta ROM release incoming, probably today.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] tombraga:
[MENTION=2806083]DerEineDa[/MENTION] i have 2 questions:

1) i have the last rom from 25.12.17 installed, please see the picture with exact rom-version

before i install the new beta-rom you will upload today, must i also flash first the zip-file (YT-X703F_S000963_171111_ROW.zip) you uploaded already today?

2) why the new rom-update is called beta update? normally you and [MENTION=6347536]matshias[/MENTION] bring always not-beta roms....
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] DerEineDa:
1) Awesome, you are the perfect guinea pig! Please flash the beta-ROM first and tell me if everything works! Regardless if everything works or not, you can install the firmware-zip later.

2) Well, what I call a "beta" is the same as what I called "experimental" before. There are just SO MANY CHANGES that I don't feel comfortable announcing that release directly in the first post. Let's better call it "release candidate" instead of "beta" :) If you guys like the new release, it will be promoted to an actual release.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] tombraga:
at this moment i need my tablet the whole time and cannot risk any failure now, so i dont want to risk too much.

also it´s still not clear for me:

you say: flash the beta-rom first, you mean the zip-file (YT-X703F_S000963_171111_ROW.zip) you uploaded already today at 12.16 am?

Or can ii wait for the new actual release later?

what me makes a bit confused is this, what you said before.

"...If you ever had the stock nougat firmware installed, you do not need to flash this firmware...."

how can i know this, without installing your declared zip-file YT-X703F_S000963_171111_ROW.zip? Means 171111 the 11.11.2017 date? so it´s older that i use now actually.

btw: you said: "... you are the perfect guinea pig!..."

is that good or bad for me? sorry, my english is not so good...
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] DerEineDa:
No, I didn't post the beta-rom yet. YT-X703F_S000963_171111_ROW.zip is the firmware-only zip. It is named this way because it contains the firmware of Lenovos latest nougat release, which has the version "S000963_171111_ROW".
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] tombraga:
ok, i installed now the firmware-only zip and it´s rebootet to system normally and i don´t notice any issue yet
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] DerEineDa:
New release (candidate)!

Finally, here are the new releases including the new binary files (blobs) from the Lenovo stock nougat ROM.

Wifi-only device ROM downloads

Pure LineageOS

Extended LineageOS

LTE device ROM downloads

Pure LineageOS

Extended LineageOS

New firmware downloads

The new firmware may be necessary for the new ROM to work properly! Before reporting any problems with the new ROM, please make sure you have the new firmware installed:

Wifi-only device firmware

LTE device firmware

Changelog

Incorporated all blobs from the current official nougat ROM.

Numerous behind-the-scene updates/changes and kernel-patches to make the new blobs work.

Please ignore the included FM-Radio app. It doesn't work and maybe never will. I am working on it :)

Important announcement regarding the 'Extended LineageOS' variant

Because of reasons, this will be the last release of the 'Extended LineageOS' ROM variant. Going forward, please consider switching to the "Pure LineageOS" variant. (Dirty flashing to the "Pure LineageOS" variant probably won't work, but I never tried that.) Starting with Oreo, Substratum won't be necessary anymore anyway.

Important announcement regarding LTE support

If this release works out for you, every future ROM will be released concurrently for both the Wifi and LTE devices. Support for LTE devices will be announced in the first post and in the thread title.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] tombraga:
THANKS A LOT. will install it right now.

Is it necessary to flash Dolby Atmos also? i don´t remember again, if the dolby is included in the rom?
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] DerEineDa:
Dolby Atmos is not included, but once it is installed, it will keep being installed even when upgrading the ROM.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] tombraga:
Thanks a lot, [MENTION=2806083]DerEineDa[/MENTION] and also to your team, already installed, good impression, will report, if there is any issue.

just installed the firmware and than the latest lineage on the lte version. everything works as it did before, cant say anything about lte connection though, since i dont have a card in the tablet.

still amazon video is not running in full hd in the chrome broweser. is there any hope of getting that fixed? i really dont want to go the stock version anymore, but since i use it as a multi media device amazon video in full hd is just to essential for me.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] DeathHacker:
Alright, so I did what I wasn't supposed to and flashed the pure RC over the last Extended release. Sure enough, it wouldn't boot into the system and I had to wipe and reflash.

After the reflash, it worked fine however, no complaints so far (using the latest firmware BTW).
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] hmsq:

Now that the new blobs are finally merged, I may have the time to have a look at this :) That being said, I lost my DRM keys ages ago, so maybe FullHD won't work for me anyway. Maybe there is no way for me to test and fix that...

After installing of the new rom, I think the key-level (1) is OK, same as before.

[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] DerEineDa:
DRM Keys have nothing to do with SafetyNet. You can check you Widivine Level using this app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androidfung.drminfo

If it says "L1", your DRM keys are present. I lost my keys very early in the development of this ROM, so it says L3 for me.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] tombraga:
I did not pass the safety check, but my Netflix works without any issue.

And yes, I flashed with supersu and I like it and keep it.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] Gogoho:
yes i used to like supersu asweel, till i ran into that problem (i didnt even have the playstore anymore without safety).

switching to magisk wasnt a big deal though and its even better than supersu, beside the safetynet test i have apps that wont run at all on a supersu rooted device like my banking app. with magisk u can just hide root for certain apps and have no problems at all..

---------- Post added at 07:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 PM ----------

i checked with drm info, and i have L1 (if it is the line security level at google widewine modular drm)

so if there is anything that i can test to get amazon in fhd let me know, would be awesome to get that fixed...

The first post and thread title have been updated with the new ROMs and firmwares. The LTE device variant is now "officially" supported. As announced, the "Extended LineageOS" variant of the ROM is now end of life.
[Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] DeathHacker:
I think I might have noticed a minor decrease in charging speed, however my battery usage seems to have doubled during screen on, and I believe the change happened with the RC.

Where I used to get around 5%/hr, I now got around 9%/hr (same brightness, no real changes that I can think of). I can't say for certain what is to blame, but it lines up perfectly with when I updated.

I'll keep monitoring usage to see if it will return to how it was before.

EDIT: My bad, seems that for some reason (possibly because the overclocked values aren't available anymore), Kernel Aduitor basically pinned the BIG cores to on, I believe this was the issue.
