Yes. I would definitely recommend modifying it to your preferences. I don't use many Gapps so killed lots. It's relatively easy to do and will help for future reference as it's simply replace words. You just extract zip - go to META-INF - com - google - android - updater-script. Then add/remove/edit a line. (with a note editor, I use Quickedit) All you need is the apk file path. Then repack. Once you've learnt how to do it you'll be glad you did

I got the Tab4 10 Plus a couple of days ago and 5Ghz wifi has randomly stopped working several times.

I have to turn wifi off and on to fix it. Quite annoying. I'm on the latest update.

---------- Post added at 01:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:49 AM ----------

What do you mean by "eaten"?

I've got a 128 GB Samsung U3 on order to use in my Tab4 10 Plus, now I'm worried.

Also having 5 GHz wifi issues.

It's a shame because it's quite a nice tablet aside from the problems
[Thinkpad Tablet General] enigmo:
By 'eaten' I mean on reboot or restart, the cards show up as corrupted. The first card I believe was the SanDisk, and that got corrupted so badly it needed to be warranty called back to SanDisk, same with the Samsung. The Lexar card I was more careful with and checked the card by removing and plugging into a USB reader after a few reboots and saw folder names and contents becoming corrupted, so figured that was going the same way too.

This was using the latest available firmware

This was also before and after using the engineers console to disable logging to cut down writes to the SD card

In the end I've boxed it up and left it, opting for a Samsung Tab S2 instead which, I might add, has been rock solid since day 1, albeit with a noticably shorter battery life than the Tab 4

---------- Post added at 10:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:55 AM ----------

FWIW, I found the same thread a couple of months ago and tried the same thing with no luck. Latest firmwares, logging switched off, still ended up with corruption on a card. That was a Lexar one I believe. Whatever is wrong the, whole logging theory makes a lot of sense but doesn't feel like the whole story.

Considering it. I was trying to balance that against a future firmware update making the thing usable, or even better, someone like LineageOS coming out with a compatible firmware to also get rid of all the bloat etc. Believe me, I'm only considering this because 7" and 8" tablets seem to be becoming increasingly rare.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] kc12:
Rare? Nope. They're still coming. Xiaomi just released one today. ( Yesterday in china )

It will give this lenovo a run for it's money. And Xiaomi devices, especially snapdragons, always have developers interested in their devices.

https://www.mi.com/mipad4/specs/

It's been a while since this device was released, still no developer has shown us any interest.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] enigmo:
Now that looks interesting. Maybe I will try returning this tablet, or sell it on.

Personally, i just don't like 10" tablets. If I'm going to carry one of those around, I might as well carry a laptop as the format is just not convenient. 7/8" tablets scratch an itch in between phones and laptops quite nicely for me.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] kc12:
Yes, I feel the same way. Also, I'm one of the few people that actually care about the camera. I'm considering selling this lenovo for the 13mp. The screen ratio is the same. The processor a little better.. I need band 2, the china release doesn't support it, so I'll wait for the international release and see.... Camera reviews will be out by then.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] kc12:
Ok, found out today, mi pad 4 doesn't support voice call!! Whatever kind of nonsense is that!? A sim card but data only. I have no use for that.... that's like 3 yrs ago tablets have sim card for data only. Geeez Xiaomi blew it with that mistake, IMO.

[Thinkpad Tablet General] swieder711:
Not really. Most of the time my tablet is at home which is correctly reported by the GPS.

If I let the app GPS Status run for a long time then it seems to lock on enough satellites to get a GPS fix.

I also installed the Magisk module called Global Optimized GPS File Replacer which sounded good. I don't see any improvement with the module.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] kc12:
GPS

Ok, thanks for the information.

I did a complete wipe and reinstalled s000041 unaltered. Still gps doesn't work. I'll try those apps you listed and see what happens.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] swieder711:
I just added a screenshot of the GPS app that I have used successfully to get a lock.

The much bigger issue for me is the WiFi connection keeps going down. It is very annoying to have to manually reconnect to the WiFi hotspot. I would really like to find a fix for this.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] kc12:
I think I got working, but I'm also at home, so until I travel I won't know for sure. But I do believe it's working. I don't know how I fixed it.

I made a backup of system.image ( not system partition) and boot patition in twrp before I made any changes. This is what I use to restore. ( The system.image contains the stock recovery )

Very easy if you made one.. use twrp:

Do a total wipe - including internal storage. ( It would possibly work without wiping internal, but I always do)

Reboot recovery

Use the restore option and restore system.image and boot.

After booting up the tablet you can go back to twrp and restore data. ( If you've made any data backups. Most of the time they restore. A couple times I've had issues with crashing apps ). You'll have to reflash twrp if you're flashing it, as you'll be back to stock recovery.

Autoboot for TB-8704F

Hello,

Has anyone figured out how to autoboot this tablet when connected to a charger?

I've tried using "fastboot oem off-mode charge 0", but it didn't work.

Then I tried looking for a file in /system/bin called lpm, ipod, kpoc_charger,... but couldn't find anything.

Any other ideas?

Lenovo Alexa icon on nav bar

Has anyone found a solution to this problem? I have deleted Alexa on Titanium, checked system folders (including priv-app for Home Assistant) etc... But still that annoying blue icon appears on my navigation bar suddenly. It comes back 100% of times when I install any app (from play store or not). But it reappears seemingly randomly as well in other times. My current solutions are (a) reboot or (b) install Lenovo Alexa apk (saved on my Download folder) and uninstall it straight away. They work, but it's just silly I have to keep doing it. It comes back way too frequently.
[LG Optimus 3D] tudor.raneti:
lg optimus 3d won't turn on after baseband v20c flash and reboot, using the power button or power button, volume down and 3d key.

If I keep power and volume down while it's connected to the pc, then click power/volume down not sure the exact sequence, it starts making 3 short usb sounds, pause, 1 usb sound, then repeats forever

If I keep device manager open, in other devices with exclamation mark "OMAP4430" appears and device manager refreshes each time the sounds repeat, but it won't do anything else. If I pull the USB cable "OMAP4430" dissapears and sound loop stops

How can I fix this?

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] ttabbal:
So, I have a Nexus 6 right now. I am looking to upgrade a bit and haven't been able to find much to work with.* Particularly with the recent price drops, the V20 looks like a decent option though. And it seems to be the last with removable battery, SD, and headphone jack for the moment. I just have a couple things to make sure on before I really go for it. Reading various threads, I think I'm right about these... This would be purchased from TMO direct, so H918...*

Looks like I can root the stock ROM, perhaps with a downgrade. Other than the very latest version, which can't be downgraded. Root is a must have, so this might be a big deal, though I doubt TMO is opening up the boxes to update the ROM. So I should get an older version I can root before updating.*

Second screen doesn't work on AOSP at the moment. I can live with that, is it just turned off?*

Are there any other missing features on AOSP? Camera, GPS, SD, etc all work? I'm more concerned about hardware working here, special LG software I'm less concerned about.*

How is the bluetooth range? If I have my N6 in a shirt pocket, headphones can cut out right now. Really irritating.*

Any other TMO/H918 issues to be concerned about?*
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] KUSOsan:
2nd screen is almost ready for showtime on AOSP. However you will lose access to the QUAD DAC that is a major selling point for the phone and you will lose access to the manual camera and the wide angle lense camera (although have read that certain camera apps have defaulted to the wide angle instead for some reason with no way to switch between the 2).

Bluetooth range in my experience mainly depends on the other device that you are connecting to the phone from (ie. Headset,wearable,etc). I honestly cannot tell any difference between this phone and the other various Samsung's I've had in the past.

Rom development for the stock LG firmware overall has kinda died off for this phone though with the most up to date being WETA and even he is on hiatus now as he just had a kid. I'm sure AOSP will be surging here shortly once the 2nd screen gets released as that was what was mainly holding people back from what I've read.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] ttabbal:
Thanks for the info. It seems like the DAC only works for a few apps?

I'll have to check out the stock ROM some. If it's not terrible, I might look at tweaking it some. It's been a while since I worked with that side of things though.

But former just shows dead android with exclamation in red triangle sign spewing out. The latter just sits with a Google loader until powered off. I really wanna install Lineage OS for timely security updates (& if successful will convert my Moto G4 Plus!) Not having much good fortune so far though....

EDIT;

TWRP is flashing successfully as long as I do not reboot, I take this is by design & not an error? However flashing Lineage fails ZIP verification, so I must download again maybe?

Flash TWRP then reboot like guide said would wipe tempoary TWRP Flash; Donna reboot but choose recovery with volume rocker, select with power button.

Flash latest Lineage for your specific device, Guide may link similar device.

Wipe everything except local storage before installing Lineage

Uncheck ZIP Verification

Download & flash PICO GApps if not enough room for main event

Watch out! Download may spit out random bin file & not ZIP (if so, rename.)

You have Lineage OS & can now bask in the much acclaimed glory of all history!!!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] look9001:
I got my Kaiser last week, well actually it's a T-Mobile MDA Vario II (what a terrible name!), and quickly found this site which seems very interesting. Being perhaps a little too impulsive I attempted the ROM installation sticky at the top of the page. First step: HardSPL, I got a white screen. Tried the fixed Jumpspl in the sticky but again, white screen. Fortunately after a soft reset the phone was back to normal but all of a sudden I'm not so confident about ROM flashing. So I'm wondering, before I try to sort out the white screen problem, has anyone actually bricked their Kaiser whilst attempting a ROM flash? The FAQ says:

Q: Can I brick my phone by flashing a ROM?

A: To be true… YES. But if you follow all instructions, it is quite implausible that your device bricks.

But what are people's real life experiences?

If you don't mess with the boot loader, it's unlikely you will brick your device.

[Samsung Gear S3] TarekElsakka:
Hi there

I recently used GearWatchDesigner to send some GWD watchfaces to my GS3 but some of the watches have some sort of dim mode or w.e it is called which I'd like to remove.

As you can see in the screenshots, I want the original white watchface to remain all the time and not dim and change into the dark one.

It seems as though some of the watchfaces have it while other don't. I'd like to know if this can be altered from the phone, the watch, or GWD on the PC?

Thanks
[Samsung Gear S3] gpmg762:
The dark one is the default screen for always-on state analogue face, there is digital one if you use a digital face. Your GWD watchface doesn't have an always-on mode. You can create always-on mode, low bit for S2 or high colour for S3 in GWD but with the 15% on pixel ratio limit to save power, I don't you can create one that is even close to the white one since white OPR is the highest. You can probably get something close if you use a watchface with black background. You can read all about GWD watch faces at http://developer.samsung.com/gear/design/home-structure/watch-face

Quite interesting if it's true that you're bootloader was indeed unlocked. Have you tried using Android Pay or Pokemon Go? (assuming you're unrooted)

"CAF"? What does it stand for? Some rom? There are customs roms that don't use verified boot. It seems that if the verified boot flag is removed from the kernel this will prevent the bootloader from passing the flag to SafetyNet. The state of the bootloader will then be hidden.
