i have used Gapps old version open_gapps-arm64-11.0-pico-20210924 and no bootlop.. issues with newer version instead
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] doofesohr:
Hi there,

I seem to be facing similar issues as FoRealz had:

I came fresh from the lenovo ROM. Steps I did:

Activated OEM unlock in developer settings.

Booted into fastmode. Unlocked bootloader.

Went through device setup again.

Booted into bootloader via adb reboot bootloader.

Flashed TWRP.

Booted into TWRP.

Chose ADB Sideloading.

Started sideloading from PC.

Next part: See screenshot.

What am I doing wrong?
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Hnktc:
have you written correct filename .zip?
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] bbforce:
Did you wipe anything before starting the sideload command?
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] doofesohr:
Since I used the auto-complete function I would hope yes.

Not that I can remember. Am I supposed to?
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] bbforce:
At least I did wipe Dalvik / ART Cache; System; Data; Cache before installing the zip- file - see post #48 for details...
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] doofesohr:
System seems to be a problem. TWRP says "Failed to mount '/system' (Invalid argument)" while than proceeding to try wiping it anyway but getting stuck on the formatting part 😅
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] kc12:
Restore the tablet using Lenovo Smart assistant tool. Then follow the instructions from the OP: Do not wipe the system before side loading. You can wipe caches. After you've sideloaded the ROM and gapps (if you're using them, see above posts regarding gapps) swipe to factory reset in TWRP instead of wiping data. You should boot up fine.

I had the same issue on 3.2 but 3.4 sorted this out for me.

Does anyone know how to change the theme to dark for the initial PIN keypad that comes up after a reboot? I have dark theme set throughout my system, but that keypad is bright white.

Installed Lineage 18.1. Working well. The only problem is, that after installing, I cannot boot to TWRP recovery only to Lineage recovery. I can execute fastboot flash recovery twrp. image but it will still only use lineage recovery. The only way I can use TWRP if I do fastboot boot twrp.img. How I install twrp over lineage.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] hunnia41:
Found the answer. After flashing TWRP do not reboot with fast boot. Turn off power with power bottom. Turn on power. Once in system, TWRP will be the recovery. (Probably rebooting does not flush the data from the buffres to the ROM)
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] druebner:
I installed the Rom, coming from Lineage OS 17.1 - the safetynet is not passed and so some apps (e.g. Netflix) can't be installed.

How to fix this? ... The Procedure with termux app and giving a new fingerprint doesn't work for me here ...

Thanks for help in advance.

Otherwise a great ROM, thanks for building!
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Deremann:
When installing from stock OS, TWRP says my data is encrypted and I don't know the kew to decrypt. Is successful decryption necessary?
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] hunnia41:
Usually TWRP when anterering ask for a PIN, or pattenr, whichever you used to login on your android. Providing that data it will decrypt.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] dahawthorne:
You need to *format* data, not just wipe. If you haven't replied "yes" to a prompt, you haven't formatted.

[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Deremann:
Many thanks for your support. After resetting the tablet with the Lenovo rescue software I didn't provide any PIN when setting up stock Android. TWRP has then been able to decrypt using some standard password.

Following the standard installation instructions provided in this sub LineageOS booted up without any problems. Before, with the decryption error it got hung up in boot animation - now, everything works fine. Many thanks!

Side note: I had some problems using GApps in stock version leading to a black screen when trying to login to Google. The pico version didn't have this problem.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] dave457:
Today I updated from Lineage 17.1 to this ROM (18.1).

I already had TWRP 3.3.0-0 installed so it was quite simple.

I wiped all the partitions i.e.

Dalvik/ART Cache

System

Data

Internal Storage

Cache

Boot (that one failed but I ignored the error message)

The new 18.1 ROM was on microSD so I obviously didn't wipe that one.

I flashed lineage-18.1-20220413-UNOFFICIAL-TB8704.zip from TWRP

I flashed open_gapps-arm64-11.0-pico-20210917.zip from TWRP

All booted fine and no issues at all
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] dave457:
Oh one problem I do have...My SatNav app (Sygic) can't write to SD card. It works fine if I install it to "Internal" but can't download maps when configured to "External".

This was fine on Lineage 17.1, I could install Sygic and the maps to "External"

Anyone have any suggestions?

Update

=====

I just did a TWRP restore of 17.1 and Sygic is fine on External (SD card). There appears to be a general issue with 18.1 getting write permissions to SD card as I can delete files from my PC on 17.1 that I can't do on 18.1-20220413-UNOFFICIAL-TB8704
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] dave457:
@ChasTechProjects

I think the SD card issue above is due to SELinux Enforcing and possible denials. Not sure if a "permissive" kernel would be available here, but I'm back on Lineage 17.1 now and all is fine. Anyway, more FYI than anything else as my tablet will be sold soon.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] norabitox:
Hello everybody

Thanks to ChasTechProjects for producing this rom.

What version of magisk can I clear the safety net with this rom?

And how to do that.

Best regards.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] swieder711:
I pass safetynet and am on magisk 25.2. I have Shamiko and the safetynet fix modules installed.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] norabitox:
Hello swieder711

Thanks for the reply.

i'll try that.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] WiteWulf:
Hi, just wanted to say a big thank you for this release. I was previously running highway star_ru's 17.1 image on my TB-8704F and it was kind of unstable (it would lock up on the Lock Screen while charging). I hadn't used the tablet for ages because of this, but I flashed this new image on it yesterday and it's working great.

I'd actually intended to restore the device to stock and sell it, but the bluetooth and wifi were both dead when I flashed stock with the Lenovo smart assistant software (wifi reporting MAC of 02:00:00:00:00:00, common problem, apparently). So I flashed 18.1 on it to check I hadn't killed it, but looks like I'll be sticking with it now.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] druebner:
Hi, i am really enjoying this ROM, Thanks a lot fpr the effort and great work.

There is only a minor things with the sound, that sounds not as good as on stock rom. Do you have asolution / app or anything that brings the "dolby atmos" sound back on lineage os 18.1 on this device?

Thanks a lot!
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] swieder711:
My tablet has become very laggy. I tried wiping cache and Dalvik. Tried dirty flashing the ROM. Neither worked.

Am now trying the nuclear option of wiping everything except my SD card and reinstalling everything via TWRP and Swiftbackup.

I wonder if this lag is caused by some rogue apps or other issue.

Is anyone seeing severe device lag? Any suggestions for the next time?

PS: I have been eyeing the Lenovo Legion Y700 or upcoming Pixel tablet as my next device.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] HkQc:
No lag issue at all for me
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] K14_Deploy:
Off topic, but thanks for mentioning that the Lenovo Y800 exists because I didn't know it existed. Now I should be saving up to get that when it releases instead of the Y700.

Hopefully one has a wider release than the Y700 (China only, I'd have to import it) so hopefully there will be some good ROMs for it.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] swieder711:
After the full wipe and clean install, my Tab4 is snappy again. I did a nandroid backup so if things get slow then I will restart from here.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] lukaspieper:
I'm definitivly going for the Pixel device as it will likely have GrapheneOS. Would not bother with Lenovo again, we all should know their lack of software updates.

Found this tablet (F version) in a box atfter moving house 2 years ago! Had lineage 17 on it so just tried to upgrade and am currenty stuck watching the Lineage logo doing its thing. Its been about 5 minutes! Tried wiping things, sideload and also then copied the rom to the device and installed straight from there. What am I missing?! Cheers
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] jinxt:
I believe the process you describe requires a clean install of the rom. you may also need the updated twrp from lancebuks

Interested in updating from LOS 16. Do 17 or 18 mostly work? I would need bluetooth / cellular to work, as well as google and Microsoft authenticators. Or do i need to stay on 16 to get the most stable/useful version? thanks!

In my usage, 18 sometimes fails to boot, but other than that I have no problems.

wifi version.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] jivenene:
ok thanks. apparently the sim card is not working and therefore cannot be used on cellular, which i need to use, so i guess i will have to use the 17 release instead. thanks!

Get/use a custom launcher like Nova launcher -So much easier to customize and so many more features.

[Google Pixel 6] paysen:
This is really bothering me. I dont want a 3rd party launcher, the launcher is fine except for that stupid search bar. Also I had many problems with 3rd party launchers in the past, and I'd rather keep the stock one which is tailored to the Pixel 6 series.
[Google Pixel 6] Tool Belt:
I thought perhaps Nova would take care of it. Thanks.
[Google Pixel 6] Izy:
surprised someone finds 3rd party launchers like nova buggy

nova hits 10years old in december and its been pretty solid since forever
[Google Pixel 6] harryw66:
Likewise, I want to get rid of that screen wasting 'At a Glance' widget at the top of the screen!!

Don't fancy an alternative launcher - but may have to bite the bullet...
[Google Pixel 6] biTToe:
I've been using it for the last 6 years. It is feature-rich and less buggy and annoying than the four previous pixel launchers.

The beauty of Nova is, you can run both launchers, customize each as you like and switch between the two on-the-fly.

Infinite scrolling, custom bottom bar, multiple grid layouts...

When I get my P6P (today in theory) I will load all my apps from the Play store and restore my Nova backup. BOOM! my new phone will look and function exactly like my old phone... only bigger and cooler.

ƒ
[Google Pixel 6] harryw66:
Thanks - I went with the Microsoft one - as it was the last one I had tried on my OnePlus over a year ago.

I will see how it goes - if not I will try Nova - I have the paid version also from 1-2 years ago.

Cheers
[Google Pixel 6] harryw66:
Switched to Nova overnight (insomnia!) - did not like the news choices of the Microsoft Launcher left swipe page - stuff from Hello Magazine, Daily Express and Daily Mail -???

Added the Nova Companion and now got the Google Left swipe and no wasted screen space on the main page.
[Google Pixel 6] Trina9:
Plenty of good third party launchers.
[Google Pixel 6] biTToe:
I had never heard of the MS launcher, or maybe never really given it any mind. I looked at it yesterday after you mentioned it and it looked awful. I really hate the tiles and the forced news that I could care less about... too much work to make it what I wanted.
[Google Pixel 6] biTToe:
Then you're missing out IMHO.

There is nothing "wrong" with the Pixel launcher per se, as long as you don't care that Google, like Apple, dictates how you interact with your phone; but, if you want to customize your phone to your liking, a custom launcher is the only way to go.

Nova has been rock-stable for a long time and has a myriad of great features, most of which are free.

ƒ
[Google Pixel 6] leegreg81:
+1 for Nova.

Nova is my launcher of choice.

It has been for a decade or so now.

I've tried many others but always come back to it.

Sometimes I use Action Launcher or will try something new but again always come back to Nova, which I am actively using on my new Pixel 6 (received it yesterday) as I find the stock launcher extremely lacking in features - haven't suffered a single launcher related performance or stability issue for a very long time, including on my P6.

I don't like having an app drawer or icons / widgets cluttering up my home screen so I assign gestures to launch specific frequently used apps such as Chrome and YouTube and for Nova's integrated "app search", which also displays other recently used, newly installed or frequent apps in tabs separate from the search bar.

I have a single Google "At A Glance" widget

and use the Maxelus Galaxy Pack Live Wallpaper app for additional personalisation and because I'm a nerdy space cadet.
[Google Pixel 6] phaino00:
+2 Nova. Double tap to lock gesture is something I have implemented for years and the customization is endless.
[Google Pixel 6] rwald:
Wait, what's Nova Companion? I just put the Google icon on my home screen so I could tap it to get to the Google interface, but a left-swipe would be way cleaner...
[Google Pixel 6] gavingt:
If you root your phone, you can get rid of the search bar in the Pixel Launcher, add rows/columns, and more.
[Google Pixel 6] blackhawk:
Use adb to disable it.

I use a package disabler to do that.

For me it's called "com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox"

I'm not missing it...
[Google Pixel 6] harryw66:
Nova Launcher

The premier custom launcher for Android, loved by over 50 million.

Allows you to access Google now by left swiping
[Google Pixel 6] Biggenz:
Which package disabler are you using if you don't mind?
[Google Pixel 6] schalacker:
A little late to the party. Always used Lawnchair launcher on my Pixel3. Just got my P6 a few days ago and upgraded to Lawnchair again. Seems pretty stable on Android 12. I add Lawnfeed to enable Google feed left-swipe. Lawnchair is pretty similar to Pixel launcher except you can customize much more than stock (ie, disabling the bottom search bar).
[Google Pixel 6] blackhawk:
This. I'm running Samsungs though. There's a version for non-Samsung devices but I never used that one.

Used this app for 3 years and it runs well.

The company replies to emails promptly.

As for your search bar see if you can disable it in apps. I just kill it with PD. On my Samsungs I also have the option to remove it from the homepage (push, hold, punch remove from home).

I think that app also makes another annoying search mod to the browsers but it's been a while since I had to look at it.
[Google Pixel 6] rwald:
Ah, I had searched for "Nova Companion" and found nothing, I needed to be searching for "Nova Google Companion."
[Google Pixel 6] harryw66:
Sorry - my bad. Anyways, hope it does what you want .

[Google Pixel 6] id3alistic:
Is Nova launcher compatible with Pixel 6's themed icons?
[Google Pixel 6] solarus2011:
Not yet. It is a requested feature on the Discord Channel with quite a few upvotes so hopefully in the future. Material You widgets don't update automatically at this time either (unless Pixel launcher is still in memory).

The widgets will change but you need to turn screen off first. If they change while phone screen is off (wallpaper timer or app in use) the new color will show when unlocked.
[Google Pixel 6] Stephanie_Sy:
You can’t on the default launcher.
[Google Pixel 6] RetroTech07:
The one thing I hate about pixel launcher is lack of customization. I like having a 6x6 grid, and Google stops at 5x5. Nova allows a custom grid of up to 12 which is a bit much for me, but essentially would allow someone to post all their icons on one screen lol. It's a very nice launcher and never had any issues with it.
[Google Pixel 6] Monkey D_Luffy:
Well, you can’t remove it it’s a part of the pixel phone. However, you can use 3rd party launcher to remove it.
[Google Pixel 6] PhilipF8_2010:
Using a launcher like Nova is excellent, the problem is Android 14 makes it buggy (for some reason it gets stuck on a page and the switch app button stops working) so that's why I wanted to get rid of the Google bar, but it's not possible.

Tried uninstalling "com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox" without success, it's still there.

I don't want to root or use a custom rom so I'm stuck to those issues when they show up.

[Xiaomi 11T Pro] F0rfrey:
Hello there!

As many people do, I am also having problem with calls being picked up with my Gear S3 instead of my phone or the headset. That was not the case just a couple of weeks ago, when I was still using S8+. I wonder, does Gear S4 have similar problem? Anyone knows? I'd be very sad to get one, realize it won't work with my 11T Pro as its predecessor wouldn't. I've been walking around getting one (Gear S4) for a while now, but if it won't work with my Xiaomi as it would with Samsung, I'll pass and get some Fossil instead. I can't seem to find any info on the matter for the SGS4. Does anyone here, by any chance, use such combo?

Personally, I use a "Clean" ROM to help with storage space and other reasons. Some ROMs have things you may not want or need, and apps are always updated, so no sense in having two of the same thing. Plus it gives you more room for customization.
