So then, why put a USB-C port on a wall charger? Just so you can use the same USB-C to USB-C cable?

Yeah I guess so... USB-C will be universal soon enough anyway so this will no longer be a worry haha!

U can use "custom nav bar pro" from play store for theming and customization of nav bar

Rooted and running Substratum. I have tried Coalfield, Compound, S.I.X. Theme, J Dark Ice, and a few others. Is anyone else having problems to get the themes to install correctly? I mean, they build fine and install, but if I choose a red accent with black primary, I still get the teal accent with black primary. Coalfield has done the best, but still doesn't theme everything as I would like. Any advice?

Also, with other phones, I remember being able to set priorities for multiple themes. That option doesn't appear anymore.

I'm using bone-stock as provided by Verizon, with all current system updates.

Videos d/l to local SD card and played off that from within MX Player. I noticed some traffic where spawning video playback via file explorer may not work in some cases so I opened the file directly in MX.

The MX Player I used was the free edition, freshly installed.

I have since bought MX Player Pro, and of course it works on my device.

System performance settings are at the default, no tweaking so far (phone is 4 days old).

How do you setup the custom codec for AC3 (I recognize I'm being lazy by just asking...but I have a headache...)?

For C0derbear

Put on root directory of phoner or sd card and start MX player. Go to settings, and select "custom codec at bottom of list in decoder settings. Select codec with browser it opens.

That's if it doesn't detect the custom codec and ask to use it.

It will restart to apply codec...

Hey guys. I've been using different email apps (Gmail, outlook, aol) for a while and never had any issues regarding notifications. I'd get the notification as soon as I got an email. I recently purchased a Lenovo Smartband and the only way to receive notifications on it was to use the stock email app. I went ahead and set it up to test with outlook (hotmail) and I noticed that the email notifications on my phone and smartband come in a few minutes later than the hotmail app. I checked the setting on the stock email app and I don't see an option to push notifications. I only see "sync time" and the soonest is 5 minutes. Is there a setting that I'm missing or is this the only option?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] arnold012:
Today I put my phone away in my pocket after using it. A few minutes later I went to check the time and the screen was in grey-scale with a weird grid/box around icons and widgets. I reset my phone in hope that it would resolve the issue. The grid/boxes went away but the grey-scale persisted. It has been like this for a few hours now. I have check every option in accessibility, personalization, and display with nothing helping.

I took a screenshot to include in this post but when moving the screenshot from my phone to computer, the screenshot had color when viewed on my laptop.

[Thinkpad Tablet General] wonderfulme:
It's been released in Europe for quite some time and from what I'm hearing it's about to hit the American market as well. Doen't seem to get any love yet on XDA.

Lovely little thing, from my three days with it. S625/64GB/4GB RAM/SD Slot/LTE. Comes with Android 7.1.1 stock.

Looks likes something that could finally replace the N7 2013, provided the community picks it up. I'm honestly surprised there's been little to no chatter about it whatsoever.

Did anyone manage to compile TWRP for it yet or root it otherwise?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] matshias:
I don't own the device so I cannot help you there. But what you can check is if the device can be bootloader unlocked in developer settings. That's a requirement for TWRP and also what you need is a kernel/boot image to build TRWP. Since there don't seem to be factory images available for this yet it will be difficult to retrieve a boot image from the device. Also Lenovo hasn't released any source code for this yet even though they are obliged to do so. Shame on them! I suggest you complain in the Lenovo forums about it. It's clearly a GPL violation.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] wonderfulme:
Thanks, I actualy did just that - asked about the kernel source on their official forum. Don't expect any major breakthroughts though (see https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1555099, for instance).

As for whether the bootloader is locked or not, I have honestly no idea. Neither the "long phone number" method nor the "fastboot oem device-info" works. I have Android SDK installed and it works just fine when I plug in my N7 2003. The USB debugging is enabled and allowed for my desktop. Still, zero results. The Lenovo one doesn't even show up when running "fastboot devices".

Yet the "Lenovo Moto Smart Assistant" whatever it's supposed to do identifies the tablet when connected with USB just fine.

So I guess it's a safe bet to say that we're a long way from rooting this one. Or, more likely, I'm doing something wrong. Never had adb/fastboot issues with N7 though.

I'll just sit and wait till it hits the US market and generates some deserved interest because on the surface it's not a bad tablet at all. The battery life, the screen, the price/performance ratio, the SD slot and LTE capability all make that for a good web browser/book reader. It's not that bad looking either. Although I have yet to find a proper case unless resorting to Alibaba or something. It's even got a half-decent camera.

Overall, it's totally worth the $300 or whatever you end up paying. Comes with next to no bloatware, doesn't overheat. Even has that Dolby thing and a fingerprint scanner for some reason. Only wish it could be rooted and ran LineageOS or something.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] matshias:
Are you sure you are in fastboot mode? Can you try adb reboot bootloader and then connect with fastboot again?

Also you should check that in developer settings you have an option OEM unlock.

Well you don't need the kernel source for TWRP. What you need is the following:

* kernel image somehow extracted

* partition layout. If cat /proc/partitions works via adb then this is sufficient.

* extracted /system/build.prop and output of mount command

This should be enough to get it booting. Decrypting the data partition is another step, but for root it's not needed.

Extracting the kernel image is the hard part as long as there is no factory image available. But first check if the tablet can be unlocked otherwise it's not worth the effort.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] maddler:
That's quite sad.

Just got it and been playing with it for a couple days now. Device itself seems to be fine, but not having root is PITA.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] matshias:
The firmwares just showed up on the Russian Lenovo forums. So we can build TWRP if you post all the prerequisites mentioned a few posts earlier (partition layout, mount output, ...)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Distman:

Good audio with those front facing speakers

Many thanks for your great work. Everything has worked as described and I am super happy with this new tablet, replacing my Nexus 7.

I am surprised that there is so little activity around the Tab 4 here on XDA, but I am confident that once people understand that this is a really cool tablet and practically the only one with modern specs that comes close to the N7, there will be Custom ROMs and more. It's a beautiful piece of hardware and even without Custom ROM, the Lenovo Android is surprisingly lean and without bloatware (except for Microsoft Office).

Just had my memory card (128GB Samsung Pro) 'eaten' by my tablet - while on holiday with no computer access and it had my videos and music on it.

I've seen reports of this on other sites as well, and am fuming right now as this is an almighty ****-up if it's a regular occurrence, makes the tablet basically useless to me.

Edit: Took the card out of the tablet and stuck it in my Honor 9, no errors and all files work perfectly. Put it back in the Lenovo, so corrupt and won't let me do anything other than format it. Bloody Lenovo :(

Hey [MENTION=6612046]dywersant[/MENTION], very nice job with the module! I came up to the same problem today in this tablet trying to modify system and noticed the hang. Everything remount method I tried resulted in freeze. How did you come up with mounting on post-fs-data? What it just a wild guess that worked (mounting in the beginning instead of remounting) or did you find out something else about the freeze itself?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] dywersant:
I have started digging around root console over adb and everytime i wanted to write something all i got was access denied. So yeah, pretty obvious.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] KreAch3R:
Ah yeah I got that, but I mean, you didn't find anything else about the actual freeze that happens during remount? You just thought that you should mount it as rw from the boot up
[Thinkpad Tablet General] dywersant:
Something like that. That was some time ago, i cant really remember all the steps i took.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] beigtapel3:
Does the USB-C port of Tab4 8 Plus supports charge & sync simultaneously like the Nexus 7 2013 did? This could be a great tablet for car installation in that case.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] DarkStarr:
You could always wire the charger to an always on 12v source. Then you would only need to turn off and unplug the tablet power if you were leaving it for an extended period of time.

You could also go with something more complex like a relay that is powered when the car turns on. For that you would need to modify the cable at the point going to the hub though, so it depends on if it's a Y cable from the tablet or if the hub is directly connected to the tablet which would mean if the car is off (or if the relay failed) it would be unable to charge the tablet.

[Thinkpad Tablet General] Surya1998:
https://youtu.be/feF06ODfOEE
[Thinkpad Tablet General] skttrbrain:
Actually I did! ...But you won't like it.

I had to reflash the stock firmware after some stupid deletions I made (this tablet really hates system apps being removed, it will refuse to boot if some are - in my case it was the YT app which I stupidly thought would be fine - still, my fault, as I came from a Nexus 7 which was very relaxed in that regard).

After that I rooted etc. and froze the Alexa app in Titanium without ever opening it. That was the only thing which worked for me. If you open the app even once it seems to just stay in place and I really did try absolutely everything else prior to that. If you freeze the app after opening it once, the icon will disappear sometimes, but always reappear after installing apps or similar.

That said for some people it freezes fine even after opening it, but just in my experience that never ever worked properly.
