Franco Kernel Manager is something for Rypha.

On my tab it was the first install of carx street. If you have an account in the game, try to clean the data on your tab. Open app manager click on carx street, if it run force stop then under storage clean cache and clean data. Then it should be like a fresh install. But do it only if you have saved your game by account or google.

Hi everyone !

Just got my marvelous Y700 2022 with pre-unlocked bootloader Chinese ROM...

Hated it and decided to flash some GSI images on it like A13 Pixel Experience PLUS or different A12 /13 CrDroid... both work FLAWLESSLY with no minor nor major bugs BUT TERRIFIC BATTERY DRAIN on active state...

around max 12- 16 hrs !!!! decent use... 40 to 60% brightness ... no 120hz & NO GAMING ... only a little YouTube streaming and social medias / web browsing before hitting the bed... it's my kind of "bedroom table tablet"

idle & deep sleep battery drain is perfect with up to 36 hrs stamina...

wich GSI ROM do you recommend to get the best battery life possible ?

any feedbacks ?

thanks in advance !

Very nice rom. But, cuz ui i did pe rom. I wanna pixel table ui.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] 90.06:

how is battery life on PE ? which on do you have ?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] sangin80:
Very nice battery life.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] JeeHaa:
I also tried crDroid 9.3 and that worked fine except for 2 issues (for me at least):

- No Double Tap to wake

- No Auto Brightness

- Unknown: magnetic cover support (cover is still on its way)?

Anyone know of a GSI ROM without these issues and that does support OTA?

Probably fixable with Magisk modules, but I did not want to mess with that. I returned to CN Stock + OTA which works fine in English once I uninstalled/disabled CN apps and installed Nova launcher.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] 90.06:
was crDroid 9.3 good at battery life ?

back to CN stock with no issues regarding background disappearing apps ?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] 90.06:
A12 or A13 PE version ?

thanks !
[Lenovo Legion Y700] JeeHaa:
Don't know about battery drain, I removed it within hours because the auto-brightness + Dt2W both were a deal breaker for me. And I am not really bothered about auto-closing apps so I did not check, but I assume this is an OS thing so aosp should behave better.

A question for anyone with a Y700 flip cover: does it support auto sleep/wake? The official cover supposedly does, I bought a basic cover on Ali and it does not wake or sleep automatically (official latest CN ROM).

Update: Nevermind, I tested with a cover from another tablet, and holding the top part near the top of the Y700 did work. I ended up cutting a tiny magnet strip from the old cover and fixing it with some black tape to the inside top of the Y700 cover and now auto sleep/wake works fine. :)

Has anyone experienced Wi-Fi issues? I have the 2022 version, and the Wi-Fi is slow. If I'm more than 5 meters away from the router, it can only connect to 2.4GHz, not 5GHz, and the download speed drops to 20 Mbps.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Artsi59:
Yes. If my 5ghz wifi network channel is greater than 100, lenovo y700 doesn`t find network at all, only 2,4ghz.

Just got my new 2023 y700 from aliexpress. It came installed with ZUI 15.0.599 (stable version)

but there is a system update for 15.0.633

I didnt update yet.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] markmessier8888:
How do you know if you have the global rom out of the box when new? Is there a version or some type of number in the About Phone tab that says that?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] nomz2k:
If it was sealed you'll have the Chinese rom, if it was unsealed and has play store already installed you'll more than likely have the global rom.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] nomz2k:
It's due to restricted WiFi channels in China, they only allow upto channel 48 iirc.

You can manually set the channel to any below 48 on 5Ghz network and it should work fine.

Ooh I broke my y700 2022 screen and then I made the y700 2023 in my hand today.

Sadly with GSI I can't go through the OOB face unlock step. The tab won't recognize any face at all (probably unlocked device/unsigned OS lost access to security chip?). I've tried both crDroid and PE with no luck.

Do these boot images work for both the 2022 & the 2023 models?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Rypha:
This is only for the original Y700, from 2022. And you must be on the same OS version, 14.0.286

EDIT: I might have been able to extract the full boot.img with payload-dumper-go

Usually OTAs don't have the full boot.img but it didn't fail with this one.

Probably cause it's so large at 3.5GB so it might have the full files?

I'll test to see if patching it with magisk and manually flashing the patched boot.img will work and not bootloop my Y700.

Thanks! Downloading it right now.

Guessing this has to be sideloaded in recovery?

Any way to retain root when doing so?

Or a link to the extracted boot.img for 15.0.342?

The extracted boot.img worked.

Anyways, here's patched and unpatched (stock) boot.img's for ZUI 15.0.342 and 15.0.361!

Hello 👋 ,does anyone tried to connect the tablet to an external monitor with USB c to USB c cable please ?

If yes ,does it work please ?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] satelliteseeker:
Yes, it works with a USB-C 3.x or 4 cable connection. Since the Y700 only outputs 5V via USB, for any monitor requiring > 5V power input, you also need to give it external power to turn it on.

After connected to external monitor, there's a "System UI" notification that allows extended computer mode (full screen 16:9 desktop UI on the monitor only) and virtual touchpad.

Touchscreen is a hit or miss when the monitor supports it. I tried several monitors and the ones made for Raspberry Pi tend to have touchscreen not working (but otherwise working well on PCs).

Hello, was someone able to play Carx street I have this error and I can't fix it
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Rypha:
I'm liking ZUI 15 so far. Performance is just as good as before. And most importantly, notifications actually work!

I can see playing music & videos in the notification bar & lock screen as well.

The only thing I don't like is how the status bar at the top of the screen is so thick now. Same with the gesture pill at the bottom of the screen, in non fullscreen apps it takes up quite a bit of space, especially given how small this tablet's screen is.

I searched the settings but couldn't find a way to change the thickness that much or hide the pill completely. Changing the display size helped a bit with the status bar at the very least.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] xnappo:
On the Y700 with Zui 15, do the notifications show up on the left with controls on the right when you swipe down like this shows?

I'm using ZUI14 rooted. Can I simply flash the ZUI15 full image (3.4gb) over it? Or do I need to unroot it first?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Rypha:
You'd have to adb sideload it via recovery but I'm not 100% sure if you'd need to revert back to the stock boot.img first.

From what I see it's probably not necessary as this OTA update has the full version of the files. Also factory resetting / formatting via recovery is probably a good idea before flashing it. Make sure to backup your personal files first!

Just refer back to my previous post with the stock & patched boot.img's if you wanna root ZUI 15 and are stuck.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] **Salem**:
I have upgraded direct from rooted zui14 to zui15 without problems. No need to revert boot.img so far...
[Lenovo Legion Y700] xnappo:
Only problem I am having with Zui 15 so far...

I use Nova Launcher, and I am an old man so I am still using 'bar' navigation instead of gestures. When I moved to 15, I turned on the bar navigation and added shortcuts, including one Chrome bookmark shortcut(okay, okay Facebook because the app sucks on tablets) to the 'menu bar launch collection'.

Every morning, the 'home' icon (circle) stops working, and the Chrome shortcut is greyed out. Toggling launcher to Zui then back to Nova fixes both issues.

I am trying turning off 'extreme nightime power saving' tonight to see if that is it, but other idea welcome.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] guyverzero:
Same here, was just coming to post this exact thing and see if there's a fix.

Nova 8.0.8, zui 15. Only problem so far is the navbar. Home does not work, and it's smaller and off to the right rather than centered. Can live with off center unless someone has a fix, but Nova not working until you switch launchers is a killer
[Lenovo Legion Y700] monterrey4ever:
I flashed ZUI15 and it's working better than 14. So far, thing I have noticed and liked:

-Seems background apps are not being murdered indiscriminately; I've been getting notifications from social apps all day.

-The new notification center for Landscape is great.

-Apps choosen to always open files are now remembered correctly; in ZUI14 I had to always choose app to open media files even though I checked the option to remember the setting.

-I can now set Lockscreen Wallpaper with any app; I use wallpaper engine, in ZUI14 I was not able to set Lockscreen wallpaper.

-The new style for the app drawer is nice and feels more inline with a tablet experience.

Things I didn't like:

The settings page looks cramped on Portrait mode; left navigation pane is squished.

Clicking on WhatsApp notification doesn't open the WhatsApp app (maybe bug with the app); Twitter, Facebook, Instagram work as expected.

The mini "change orientation" icon in the lower left part of the screen doesn't show while using YouTube.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] xnappo:
At least we are not crazy and we can share ideas with eachother while hoping someone finds a fix :)

I have tried:

- Turning off 'nightime ultra low power'

- Giving ZUI Home unlimitted battery use

Tonight I am trying disabling 'do not disturb' which I have on at night...

It is one of those super annoying things that doesn't happen often enough to debug quickly :(

Also a post here on a different tablet setting window animations to 0:

Nova Launcher Home Button not responding

Hey there! I have recently bought a Realme 11 Pro and I am using Nova as my default launcher app. However the home button does not work as expected. I'll try to describe the issue the best that I can, forgive me though if that's not that...

xdaforums.com

Sounds a bit different though.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] guyverzero:
I've tried giving Nova every permission under the sun. Change system settings, accessibility, admin, none of that works.

What it appears to be doing is not giving Nova actual launcher status. When you launch into ZUI Home, the navbar goes back to the standard centered three button set up. But when Nova is the launcher, it appears just like other apps that are launched into, with the non-transparent navbar and buttons to the right.

I also tried to install the newest Lawnchair just to see, and it was treated the same way. If you put icons low enough, the nav bar even cuts them off (I found this out because Lawnchair put the dock low enough by default to where it cut half the icons off)

So, I have examples but do not have any idea what the fix is.

I could try disabling or deleting ZUI home and see if that forces a true system launcher switch, but beyond that I don't have too many troubleshooting steps left
[Lenovo Legion Y700] xnappo:
I am going to see if the disable animations will help.

Next step will be to use 'Navigation Bar' from the Play Store. This seems to work okay, but it a bit big. I also sort-of liked the style of the bar that allowed short-cuts to share the space...
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Saber106:
Sorry, I'm very new to this thing, can you tell me what I'm saying is correct or not?

- Copy the update to the root folder of the Y700 2022

- Turn off the device, boot into Recovery mode

- Select option to [Apply update from ADB] in Recovery mode?

- on PC, run the command adb sideload update.zip ?

Can you tell me how to install adb on the Y700 or the Windows?

Thank you!
[Lenovo Legion Y700] xnappo:
Disabling animations did not help. In the end I made a Tasker profile to switch to Zui Home then back to Nova home whenever the screen turns off. This is working around the issue successfully. If anyone needs more details on how to to that, let me know.

I just received my 2023 Y700 and it's on 15.0.654. I'm assuming these don't work for that and I need to find my version? Or are these only for the 2022 tablet?

I'm only looking to root and install magisk on the stock ZUI. I've successfully unlocked my bootloader via ADB. I'm assuming I need one of these for my current version and tablet, right? Or can Magisk do it from what's already on the device? Sorry for the noob question. I rooted my old 2022 Y700, but can't remember exactly how I did it, lol.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] switchem:
I can confirm that Netflix, etc. does not work with an unlocked bootloader on the 2023 Y700 (ZUI 15.0.654) as described in this post/tutorial: https://smartasw.com/archives/17857#index_id9

I successfully re-locked my bootloader (for now), and Netflix is working again. Fortunately, I did not brick the device or get stuck in a boot loop.

I do hope to be able to root the device soon. Will it be possible re-lock the bootloader and keep root?

Also, I just got prompted to upgrade to version 15.0.677. I guess there's a new OTA update. It's 147 MB.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] xnappo:
Those are for the 2022 tablet.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Rypha:
Sorry, should've specified. Those boot images are only for the 2022 version.

I've written down the process on how to gain and retain root through OTA updates on this thread a while back. Look at my previous posts, the process is the same for the newer tablet, any Android device with a locked bootloader but no custom recovery really.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] switchem:
Thank you for clarifying 🙏
[Lenovo Legion Y700] switchem:
Oh, no problem!

I searched through and read your posts on the thread, but I must have missed and/or misunderstood one. I’ll look again. So, I should be able to root my device now then? And be able to keep the boot loader locked?!
[Lenovo Legion Y700] switchem:
THANKFULLY, I was able to fix the boot loop issue by flashing the entire ROM using the flash_all.bat that was included in the sourceforge download.

I successfully rooted the device again with the steps above, and figured I would try re-locking the bootloader again because I felt confident I could get back to stock if things went wrong. Unfortunately, after re-locking, I got the "Your device is corrupt" error. I never got that before, only the loop. I fixed it again by re-flashing that full ROM. However, before doing that, I forgot to re-lock the critical partitions to test if doing so would have avoided the corrupt error. What do you think? I'm tempted to try again, but at this point I feel like I'm pushing my luck, lol. I should be patient and wait for others to chime in. :)

So, for now, I guess I have to choose whether to keep root or have Netflix, etc. working. Root wins for now, but I do hope I can figure out how to have both because this is a great little device for media consumption.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Rypha:
I believe you can still use Netflix or banking apps that hate if you're rooted or have an unlocked bootloader by installing the safetynet fix magisk module and uuh, wiping your Google Play and Play Services data after rebooting?

You'd also have to add the play store, services, google assistant, netflix, and whatever other app to the deny list in Magisk.

It may take a few hours for your device to pass the basic integrity if you don't do it fast enough after a fresh install but it should let you run those apps just fine afterwards.

The regular safetynet fix didn't work for me so I used this version

Release v2.4.0-MOD_2.0 · Displax/safetynet-fix

Changelog: v2.4.0-MOD_2.0 Fix KernelSU support. You still need "ZygiskOnKernelSU". Fix WiFi calling on some devices (and maybe other related issues) by moving changing ro.product.first_api_level f...

github.com

I'll see if I can find the exact instructions that I followed.

Also to check if your device passes the integrity check I used YASNAC

YASNAC - SafetyNet Checker - Apps on Google Play

Yet Another SafetyNet Attestation Checker

play.google.com
[Lenovo Legion Y700] switchem:
Thanks for the links. I went ahead and installed that module. Netflix still gives the same error, unfortunately. I think it might be related to something else. On this page: https://smartasw.com/archives/17857#index_id9, the author talks about it a little bit at the beginning of the article. The translation is kind of rough, but it seems like maybe it's related to a thing called "Trusted Execution Environment" (TEE), a feature that was introduced in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip. Like the author of that article, my DRM info app is showing I have Widevine L1.

I rooted my 2022 Y700 and was able to use Netflix and other DRM-reliant apps just fine with the bootloader unlocked and without any Magisk modules. It seems this new tablet has a few more tricks up its sleeve.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Rypha:
Damn, then it might be related to the extra security features of the newer SoC. Maybe there's a way to bypass all of that and get it working but I have no idea how to do it.

Although did you check and see if YASNAC reported that you passed the basic integrity AND CTS profile match?

I also posted the guide I followed in the attachments below (It's for the Mi Pad 5 but worked for the Y700 2022 and my other Andoird devices from around the same time) Also ignore the Magisk version mentioned there, latest version should be fine.

And make sure to add Netflix to the denylist along with the Google stuff!
[Lenovo Legion Y700] switchem:
Actually, YASNAC said I failed CTS profile match (with evaluation type HARDWARE_BACKED, if that matters).

Going to follow your guide now! Thanks. Will report back in a bit.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Rypha:
Remember that it can take a while for it to pass the CTS profile match if you don't do that stuff quickly enough after a fresh install.

As Google checks for verification every few hours.

So after you followed all those steps and are still failing check again later.

Hoping everything works for you after all of this!
