Well cause windows runs everything...... And why not use such a epic device if its possible?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] STHellRaiser:
I would assume from fact that bootloader has been unlocked already that this device has the global rom version on it, which also anserws why the switch button doesn't work.

Some questions:

What's the best guide for switching ROM?

What's the best ROM (I've seen crdroid mentioned before)?

Can I re-lock the bootloader and how?

Not a question, but... We need a wiki for these answers.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Trafford Devil:
Not sure how to disable it, it even appears sometimes with button navigation. However if you enable the 3 finger up down left right gestures then you won't need to swipe up from the bottom.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] JotaroDeus:
Damn, now im struggling to find reasons to stay on ZUI, this single bug alone makes the experience unbearable for me. I also really hate how the icons look by default
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Trafford Devil:
For me the Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos and battery protection, charging bypass, over/underclock features make ZUI worth it.

If you go back to ZUI 13 that bug isn't there, and again if you enable the 3 finger gestures to show recent apps/ go to the home screen/ switch between apps then you don't need to swipe up from the bottom mitigating the triggering of this bug.

If you install Nova launcher you can install custom icon packs to replicate the look of stock Android.

2.matter of opinion. Currently am still running CRDroid 12L ive not looked back.

3. This has been mentioned aswell in this thread on how to possibly do it, tho its not been reported as 100% working by everyone's that tried. Personally i havnt bothered to re-lock it, dont care about it being unlocked.

4 all these questions and answers are available in this thread yet again if you read it all.

For me google play services are working but i had to update all the earlier mentioned apps like Google Account Manager, Google Services Framework, Google Play Services and the Google Play Store

That solved the problem ! Thanks a lot :-)
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Ale_ax:
I have same problem, I got the garbage "global" rom and flashed back the stock 13.0.586 but I can't get update (maybe due to the unlocked bootloader which I wasn't able to relock) I can't find any incremental OTA zip to run from that version, did you know where is possibile to get that?

In this topic I found two of them but they will not work from my version.

Thanks

I will receive my Y700 (with "global"rom) within 2 weeks ;-) I want to flash a GSI rom (probably the crDroid 8.10 with android 12L). I'm looking for the most bug free /stable experience.

My question is:

Is it advised to flash the ZUI14 stock rom first? so that the latest android 12 vendor drivers and Lenovo Pencil support etc. are installed.

Or is it advised to just start flashing a GSI rom with the already installed ZUI13 "global" rom?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] STHellRaiser:
It makes no difference as installing a custom rom (GSI) will wipe the device of anything currently installed.

Ps android deosnt use drivers like this. ethier the rom can run the hardware that's in the device or it cant, its all down to the roms and hardware nothing else
[Lenovo Legion Y700] xnappo:
It is unfortunate they installed a different ROM. Honestly just ZUI 13 or 14 is totally fine, even if it is the China version. No custom ROM is going to fully support the hardware to the same level.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] gnoted:
Google Play won't download any apps for me now, just says, "Pending..." forever.

I suspect the battery optimization has suspended something that Google Play needs to connect, I've disabled optimization for Google Play Services, Google Play Store and Google Services Framework, and rebooted, but it's still not working.

Anyone got any ideas?

I bought "global rom" from ali express and since it's already unlocked, it was quite simple to install crdroid. Everything works very well, no plan for any further rom change now.

If ZUI gets improved in Android 13, i might go back to original China rom.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] bigwillie1:
I have extracted the "crDroid-8.10-arm64_bgN-Unofficial.img" with "kitchen-1.8"and the only folder with files in it is the system folder. I thought when installing crDroid only the system partition got wiped and overwritten with crDroid and that you need to wipe the Data partition, because otherwise the secured data from the stock rom is still on it and therefore you get in a bootloop. I also thought that the remaining partitions keep their data and do not get overwritten.

For example; if the vendor folder gets overwritten with an empty vendor folder from crDroid how does the tablet still work?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] STHellRaiser:
To be honest ive no idear what your saying or asking, i just followed instructions to get cr droid it works thats all i know hahaha
[Lenovo Legion Y700] gnoted:
If I go to crdroid is there any way I can get this Global ROM (ZUI 13.0.586) back? Can you make a backup when you do the process?

Also can I get the untouched stock Chinese ZUI 13 ROM? I wish the seller read my instructions and didn't mess with it.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Ale_ax:
For what I know the global rom doesn’t exist, you can get stock rom with this procedure, I tried it and works (except relock bootloader and getting ota)

https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-unbrick-lenovo-y700-tablet.4509297/

At first boot up in the top left corner you can tap “English” and set the tablet in english

You can install the play store from Chinese app center, then installs more locale2 to get your lang.

The global rom sellers set is a mess…

what we need is a lte heaven forbin 5g model! tho i prob wouldnt get it since i have the reg one already. Anyways i dont really care if it comes to the us cause its easy enough to get from the two sites and i like wowing people with it and the fact they cant get it in the us. unless i tell them lol. it makes it feel more exlusive. I Just love how i could completly own it with root and custom gsi. considering getting the huwai m6 lte from alis on the side cause i have an extra sim card id like to use cause why not. t mobile has these unlimted data only plans for 5 bucks. they really dont slow it down after 6 gigs of high speed. Or maybe i can get an s6 lite tablet that has lte from amazon and alternate with a little bigger screen....

[Lenovo Legion Y700] Fredwood:
I had the same concern (elements too big compared to my old tablet and viewing less suff/text on screen) but I found an easier way to "zoom out" all the stuff and then change that DPI setting (increase it without root or even need of PC):

Just need to go in the Developer options -> Drawing -> Smallest width

Default was 640, I changed it for 800.

I had small bug with icons on home looking broken after been taped for the first time after that change, but I restarted the tablet and all seems fine now.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Fredwood:
Hi,

So, I then received my Y700 from Giztop for Xmas.

Fast shipping, great packaging. English and Play store preinstalled by them. They were very cautious with the unsealing and handling the tablet for doing that, leaving all the plastics everywhere they could (even on the screen), serious service. (y)

Happy with the tab so far. Just a bit disappointed with the lacks in certain settings, sometimes with very few options provided :cautious:, or some other basic settings missing (not sure if problem with ZUI or Android 11) - some even being removed from older versions of Android.

One of the pros on the other hand, seems to be the autonomy. I'm "playing" with the tablet (discovering it I mean) quite a lot since 2 or 3 days and battery is still at 35%.

I had troubles to install Netflix (from France) - couldn't be found in the Play Store, and even direct link was telling me app was not compatible with my device, but got a link that gave me access to the install button after second try (strange).

I think notifications don't work as intented, but I see it's a common "issue" and I will try to solve it at least for the few apps I need. Otherwise a "quiet" tablet by default also has some pros rathet than having to disable dozens of notifications. o_O

1) By the way does someone know why we don't see all apps we install in the Autostart manager and other options from the Security/Safe center? It could be a problem to make notifications work then.

A few other questions:

2) Is there a way to turn off screen with tap? (there seems to be only "Double tap to wake" option in the regular settings).

3) Is there a way to remove the lock screen (to land directly on the desktop when waking up the tablet)?

4) Can someone tell me what is the "Multiple space" feature in App Management?

5) I'm on ZUI 13.1.570 - how to get the latest version (if I want it later)? Is it part of automatic updates?

6) But more important: will there be a way to upgrade to Android 13, or is it only upon deploy from Lenovo and it will likely never happen?

7) Alternatively, is there a way to find a way to associate the language we want for apps (it's a new option in Android 13) ? They all install in English by default (language of the system obviously) but I would of course prefer them in my native language.

Thanks! :)

[Lenovo Legion Y700] solsearch:
Nice case. Just curious, is that a stylus holder on the side? Or is it just a cloth tab?

On a side note to everyone:

I don't remember if there's been any discussion on this. Using an HDMI adapter I could't get streaming apps to work on an external screen (DIsney+, Paramount+, etc.) but today I tried it without an adapter by connecting to a monitor with a USB-C cable and apparently it works well this way (I'm guessing my hdmi adapters don't support HDCP).

Also, has anyone noticed this was removed from the P11 and Lenovo sub-forums and put in the general discussion>general topics section? I seriously think at this point they should be giving us a new dedicated subforum...

How can I stop the Y700 from killing background apps so much??

I've disabled battery optimization for all the apps that I've installed, and Google Play, etc.

I didn't buy a 12Gb tablet for it to kill all the apps!! It's actually quite irritating, especially for things like syncthing that I expect to be running at all times...
[Lenovo Legion Y700] STHellRaiser:
So i had a look at the tile device it looks smart. My wonder is tho as this device says on specifications that deosnt support GPS am but unsure how your able to track device as such? If this tile device can locate even when not connected to wifi or Bluetooth then i am very interested otherwise from what i read on the description it only supports Bluetooth. Tho the reviews suggest otherwise,

So hopefully youll be able to elaborate on how works and how well once you have it.

The slim ring holder is very interesting. I find that i wish there was some sort of case available which had a hand strap available on back for holding. As i find i tend to be on move using this tablet, and am always worried about dropping it.....
[Lenovo Legion Y700] STHellRaiser:
If your running the ZUI y700 firmware, as it primary function is a gaming tablet, it deosnt allow background apps very well.

This one also one reason i looked to install custom rom
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Smashup9492:
Nevermind. You can just use "fastboot boot twrp.img" instead of flashing the twrp image to use twrp temporarily. I'm going to test out twrp in the mean time.

[Lenovo Legion Y700] filjusz:
I was interested in buying it too but its not available anywhere
[Lenovo Legion Y700] gnoted:
It doesn't seem right though. Just killing the background app shouldn't prevent notifications.

My last tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0) had too little RAM so it killed background apps, but it still received notifications reliably. It just took too long to re-open the app when you clicked on the notification.

This seems more like there is some part of the Google messaging framework that is not working at all, so apps can only receive the notification if they actually happen to be running at the time.

Anybody experiencing huge battery drain on both ZUI 13&14? I clean flashed ZUI 13 with QFIL, and overnight battery loose about 20%. It drains completely in about two days in standby mode (connected to wifi, both on ZUI 13 and 14). I think it could be something wrong with rom after patching boot image with magisk? No idea if battery drains that fast on unrooted as i rooted tab straight after unpacking it

I did that whole process (except the re-locking which was dimmed so didn't work), and rotation works for me.

If auto-rotate is disabled:

Then when you rotate the tablet an animated icon pops up in the bottom-right that you can press to rotate. It's quite good.

I got it today. Google play is working as expected. The OS does not support FCM it seems as I am not able to get push notification when app is not running in the background.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] jianglai:
Are you able to get push notification working? It's my first experience with a Chinese ROM and it doesn't look like FCM is enabled out of the box (or if it is even possible).
[Lenovo Legion Y700] NisseGurra:
Warning for Giztop: failed delivery and now they dont want to refund full payment...
[Lenovo Legion Y700] jianglai:
That's absurd. You many have to contact your credit card company for a charge back.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] jianglai:
PSA: The Chinese ROM also does not support Work Profile. My IT department told me:

"For some reason this device does not list support for managed_users. In fact there is this blurb from the logs:

SystemConfig: Removed unavailable feature android.software.managed_users

Without that feature the device will not get Android Device Policy (the system essentially thinks it is Android Go)."

So I guess I'll just have to keep it as strictly an entertainment device...

Failed to broadcast to stopped app com.telegram.messenger

You do, they just have to be running. True push notifications are working for applications like Google, which I think is whitelisted by the ROM to always run in the background even if you kill it in the app switcher.

Has anyone tried the 9.0 version of crDroid? I've had the tablet for almost two months now and I think I've had it with ZUI for now, mostly it works fine but the background app killing is too annoying.

Edit:

I have since installed crDroid 9.0, and ran in to some smaller issues.

Face unlock does not work. To get around it, you need to cancel the setup-wizard early, otherwise you get stuck in a loop setting up face recognition. I had to jump back into Recovery and do a factory reset.

The App Drawer is corrupted, all the icons are bunched up and impossible to click. I fixed this by clearing storage and cache for crDroid Home

Magnetic case is not recognized, so the tablet doesn't shut off/on the screen.

The OTA Updater seems to be not working, but I had the same issue (crash loops) in 8.10

Otherwise it seems to be working fine, and it has a built in netflix spoof so HD/HDR content is allowed. Hopefully there's a fix soon to these issues. I like 9.0 more than I liked 8.10 :)

Select the restart alternative with volume buttons, and just after you've pressed the power button to confirm your choice, release the button and press/hold it again together with the volume up button as it restarts 👍.

It should vibrate and give a blank screen.
