[Lenovo Legion Y700] asseforlife:
hello I ordered a lenovo legion y700 and I wanted to ask feedbacks for the people who has y700 for minimum one year ; does it still work good?

Do you know if we can change battery easily please? (can't find any teardown video).

I ask because I'd like know if it's durable (2 years minimum) and if we can repair it ourself, planning to unlock bootloader and install crdroid gsi on it
[Lenovo Legion Y700] alex4723717:
Always open the game from the play store?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] alex4723717:
Yes but don't update zui 13
[Lenovo Legion Y700] asseforlife:
I plan to flash crdroid directly when I receive it, I heard that android 12 of zui has issues with controller mapping apparently and I really want an ui close to one ui or stock android ui
[Lenovo Legion Y700] alex4723717:
Does someone know how to install zui 14.0.231?

I can't place an update file in my device's root because I haven't got access. Most root folders are locked. The ones not locked I can't paste the update file in.

Maybe someone knows about a direct way to update 197? Thx guys!!
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Fredwood:
No I didn't. Just done it and this time it then logged me automatically in the first game I tried. :)

Thank you so much!
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Jonzun:
Hi, Does the pen work with crdroid?

Bypass charging
[Lenovo Legion Y700] alex4723717:
Thanks to Mickey36736 I managed to perform the update to zui 14.0.231 very easily.

A total life-saver because zui 14.0.197 has the frame drop problem. Which is so bad you almost don't wanna play your game anymore.

After 1 week of emailing lenovo China they tell you they only help mainland people. They tell you to contact the seller. The seller who is not responsable. In this case giztop. And listen giztop is an awesome company. I asked giztop if they would agree to accept back the tablet and make a refund. Because i wanted to order a new tablet and send the y700 with the update problem back to giztop. Thet agreed. Even though they are not responsable for this update problem. So giztop is just an awesome company.

zui company is responsable. They only react like this. Thank you for your feedback. Good luck. They don't care about anyone who lives outside China. They give you the big middle finger.

anyhow big thanks to Mickey here. Later guys!
[Lenovo Legion Y700] mickey36736:
They did mentioned about fixing GPU problem on .231 but there is an issue with legion assistant .

When you switch power profile to power saving mode and then back to balance mode, the GPU and CPU clock speed remain the same as power saving mode which is annoying so you have to minimize the game and go back in to fix the issue. Which might explain why the performance is different
[Lenovo Legion Y700] alex4723717:
Okay nice to know. Because the frame drop problem is not solved on ZUI 14.0.231. I justed started the game and the frame drops still occur.

ZUI developers totally messed up. ZUI 13 was working very smooth. Developers made some kind of new gaming software for ZUI 14 and it's only causing frame drops.

Total failure

LoL
[Lenovo Legion Y700] alex4723717:
Legion zone has an auto clean mode switched on. Standard set on 50mb. So this process will start every time. You should disable this feature.

In the pictures you can see where it's hidden.

[Lenovo Legion Y700] Nekrozys:
Hi everyone. I'd like to buy the Legion Y700 and I plan on installing a custom ROM (I heard crDroid GSI is pretty good) but it's been ages since I last did anything like that and I haven't kept up with the practice at all.

Given that info, does it matter if the tablet that has had its firmware modified before shipping ? I'll have to format it anyway, right? I just want to make sure.

Also, why isn't there a dedicated Y700 forum ? Trying to find info about this device is a nightmare.

Thanks
[Lenovo Legion Y700] xnappo:
No, if you are definitely going to install a custom ROM, it doesn't really matter. I will say I am reasonably happy with ZUI 14, though I liked 13 better.

As to why there isn't a forum, I have no idea! This thread is getting huge.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] filjusz:
I like ZUI 14 a lot. First thing after purchasing new device is to install custom rom, always. But ZUI 14 is brilliant, so i dont feel a need to do so.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] xnappo:
It isn't bad, hopefully the fix the pulldown for notifications on the next release. It is ridiculously narrow in landscape mode.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] filjusz:
Agree, but i dont use it often
[Lenovo Legion Y700] kingwai92:
the zui is just crippled, always kills all my background apps... but i loss the srgb mode in any gsi rom, the default dcip3 color space on the gsi roms always oversaturate everything... how can i get srgb color space to work on gsi roms?? even srgb mode without factory calibration is enough...
[Lenovo Legion Y700] alex4723717:
If I would live 4 weeks ago I'd buy the y700 again. Before connecting to WiFi disabling zui update tool. Enjoy zui 13 for the rest of my life. And beyond lol

Zui 13 has a perfect gaming assistant. No clue why one would install a Custom ROM. This is... A gaming tablet.

Zui 14 is not acceptable and actually raped my device. I played a game named shadowgun legends, not a very heavy game. Still zui 14 ****s up the game with frame drops so extremely I actually stopped playing on this tablet.

People who enjoyed zui 13 and also actually played a game on this device know zui 14 totally messed up this tablet. If you find zui 14 to be acceptable try a heavier game. You can't play it without the drops. On zui 13 you could play this same game and it would run like a Tesla 2024 moonmissile.

Would I advice to buy this tablet. O yes. But use it for gaming an use zui 13. Why use this gaming tablet for custom roms and ****e? Zui 13 and the y700 is a very effective combination.

Anyway later.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] xnappo:
I don't hate is as much as you seem to, but why not just roll back to 13?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] alex4723717:
Just roll back?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] alex4723717:
If you know a way to easily do this. I'll be happy to hear it my friend.

You mean downgrading?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] filjusz:

waiting for proper reviews before buying but shockingly prices are going up.. seems the demand is high
[Lenovo Legion Y700] jianglai:
In Google's "Find Device" app, this tablet is identified as "Lenovo Tab P8". So I think there's a remote chance that Lenovo at least has plans to launch it as a smaller version of the P11 Pro in ROW.

The hardware is pretty nice, but it's hamstrung by the chinese ROM.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] orangpelupa:
thanks! hopefully that will be the case.

googling around, there's already lenovo P8. But Lenovo Tab P8 is nowhere. So it is indeed, a new model

[Lenovo Legion Y700] Linuxkek:
99% will not buy this for that price.

It starts in China with 2199¥ (330$ at this time) and the price will drop down, not increase 🤣

iPad Mini 6 Gen. was 2 days ago 469€

Because of the exchange rate...

It was under 400€/430$

I just received my legion tablet from giztop. Received it in a couple of weeks, with English language and Google play store installed. So far everything seems to be working ok. Couldn't install bank of America app or Pinterest, for some reason. Also, Google drive won't let me backup the device.

Hope there will be some development like the mipad 4, which is still going strong.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Kiyoshi.co.uk:
The only 8" tablet alternatives are 2020's Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.4", 2017's Lenovo Tab 4 8 (Plus) 8.0", and 2014's Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4.

They're all 1920x1200, while the ancient 2014 Tab S is 2560x1600, and OLED.

No 8" tablet has ever had an OLED display or 2560x1600 resolution since 2014, which is a shame.

I own all 3 and want to try LineageOS before I get the Y700... Hoping Y700 has a *true* Android desktop mode!

Hope the Y700 goes global, or an updated one with 888+, 8Gen1, or 8Gen1+ is eventually available.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] f-lan@outlook.com:
hmmm.. still not sure if i should buy. because i need all my apps to work including bank apps and google serivces
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Linuxkek:
Looks like it's a dead device outside from China. Only one shop got it (high priced) and Aliexpress. On Aliexpress under 100 sales from a few sellers and right now 439€ for 8/128GB. Thats almost a iPad Mini 6 Gen. price.

With push notification problems and some apps can't be installed that sound really bad.

Hi, I am in the same situation. Could you post screen captures of the menus that are not translated in the custom 'global' rom. Because it was only partially translated (at least with the device set to French) I could not use the device fully. I tried to flash the stock rom but it resulted in Hard Brick. I need these screen captures to make my point to the seller.

Please enlighten me, just how did you get crDroid installed.

I have tried 'fastboot flash system crDroid.img', but the error message says that my Y700 does not have a system partition.

The data returned in 'fastboot getvar all' supports that, I have a 'vm-system_a' & ' _b', and I am tempted to try flashing that. If that breaks it all, I can now reliably recover to stock.

I havent use crdroid(gsi), but maybe it will work.

I using LineageOS(gsi) with zui14 vendor&boot flashed, pen works.

you need ( install zui14update before flash crdroid ) or ( flash zui14 vendor&boot ) .

be aware on zui13 pen not works, on zui14+gsi dt2w not works (Lenovo menu in Phh treble settings disappears) someone tell me if zui14+gsi dt2w works.

It's essentially just a plain Google experience.

Works amazing though!

I've been using crdroid on my Lenovo tablet for months now in a workplace environment (8 hours a day use) and it's been rock solid. Not one single unexpected reboot!

I moved houses in December and haven't even hooked the desktop back up yet as I use this tablet exclusively!

is there a link to the CRdroid page? i think the last time i flashed a custom rom was back in the Galaxy S3 days. i'm sure things are different now...lol

Naz664's Unofficial GSI here https://sourceforge.net/projects/gsi-projects/files/ Crdroid included.

or any gsi rom like AndyYan LineageOS GSI may works.

So I just received my Y700 tablet. China ROM Zui 13.1.578. Love it and the size is just nice :)

Able to d/l playstore from AppCenter and install Google apps like mail, map, sheet, youtube etc.

But unable to install Chrome. When I click "install" button, the circular icon rotates just a while and then its back to "install" button within 2-3 seconds ie. nothing happens. Is there something else I need to install first?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Dr. Light:
Is there a dedicated forum or discord for the legion Y700? or is this it?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] LazyPCRehab:
This is it.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] LazyPCRehab:
It should just install. You can either keep trying until it finally downloads and installs, or you can find a trusted source for the apk. I had to sideload Netflix at first, but then the Play Store finally showed it and updates it normally now.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] alex4723717:
Make sure to disable the update service bro. But you'll probably done this already.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] alex4723717:
You can find this information on YouTube. ZUI 13 on this device is absolutely awesome ZUI 14 is useless and with ZUI 14 you'll be gaming with frame drops. Even on the ZUI 231 version.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Dr. Light:
Alright so this will be a little long but just received the Y700. easily the fastest i've ever received anything from China. like a day and a half from China to my house in Virginia Beach! nuts. anyway i went ahead and upgraded to ZUI14, which wiped my playstore like i was expecting. so i installed the framework, then the playstore app and everything works perfect! then upgraded again to the ZUI 14 110mb update.

Couple of quick ZUI14 questions. anyone know of any way to turn off the sound/ding everytime the screen rotates? pretty annoying. what about getting rid of the last few bits of chinese that pops up?

So i've also been toying around with the idea of installing CRDroid, anyone here running it, regret it? the only thing i can think i would miss is the PC mode. does it still do video out over USB-C though? my only other hangup is the only guide i've found was the english/japanese guide posted awhile back and its been like 10+ years since i've flashed a ROM. GSI wasn't even a thing. I've got the image but thats about as far as i've made it so far....lol. is TWRP still a thing? can we use it on the Y700? if not which recovery works best? best way to install the recovery?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] fiocco:
Hi, i try to install GP on mui14 under Android 12 but it doesn't works, where i can find the framework ans GP works ? please.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Dr. Light:
i grabbed it from apkmirror
[Lenovo Legion Y700] fiocco:
I do that but after update to the last OTA of 110mb finaly it works, thank's
[Lenovo Legion Y700] JonTrv:
According to other posts in one of the several Y700 fora here, TWRP is not supported on this device. That matches my experience of trying it. I only get a bright blue header line over a dark blue blank window.

As for crDroid, I have been trying for a month. How to flash GSI ROM's seems to be a hidden secret around here. Folks who do it just say 'flash the rom', sometimes 'flash the system partition', but every time I try I get errors like 'system partition not found'

'adb sideload <filename>' seems promising, but I get ---

Finding update package...

Verifying update package...

E: failed to verify whole-file signature

Update package verification took 77.3 s (result 1)

E:Signature verification failed

E:error: 21

crDroid packages are online as '.xz' archives, are we supposed to specify the full archive name to adb sideload, or to extract the image file from the archive and sideload that ?

Is 'adb sideload' even the way to do it at all ?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Dr. Light:
well. this might be the blind leading the blind but turns out you don't even need a recovery, from my understanding it has kind of a built-in one now with fastbootd....i think,

It seems you made it further than i did. so i downloaded crdroid to get ready to flash and i unzipped the .xz file and there was the .img file inside so i'm assuming that is what will be flashed. so i went ahead and was going to give it a shot, i couldn't even get past the first step.....lol i was going to unlock my bootloader. so i go to lenovos site to download the sn.img file to unlock it and the site won't let me it just keeps giving me "The number of unlocks today has reached the limit, come back tomorrow!" how did you get your unlock file?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] JonTrv:
Recovery ? you will not get access to adb without recovery.

You CAN access the device from adb when it is running the stock ROM, BUT... most of the useful things you can do with adb are denied, expecially 'adb shell' commands, and possibly most important, 'adb sideload'...

Unlock? try the below.

fastboot flashing unlock

or (allegedly, not tested by me)

fastboot oem unlock-go

---then---

fastboot oem reboot-edl

will put you into a mode where (on Windows) you can access the device from QPST or QFIL and restore the stock ROM when other things you try have bricked the device.

If, like me, you run Linux, you will not get QPST/QFIL to work and you need QDL (see another of my posts).
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Dr. Light:
do we not need the sn.img file to unlock?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Koronium:
I was kinda busy but realised this morning that ZUI had been upgraded to 14.0.231. Google Play works and I could download chrome.

But for certain apps (2 banking & 1 shopping app), i got GP message "This app won't work for your device" and couldn't install. Anyone else encounter this?

btw, so glad I sold off my XIaoxin Pad Pro 11.5inch tablet and got this little gem. The form factor works for me :)

I had to unlock the bootloader but it wasn't that difficult.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Twicing:
Well, I want to keep my bootloader locked because of the widevine L1. I heard that if you unlock the bootloader on ZUI 14 then you can only relock it on ZUI 14 and if you try to relock it on ZUI 13 there would be issue with device corrupted.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Dr. Light:
tried my hand at unlocking it. got the drivers installed, using the command prompt, i can see the tablet connected. if i try "fastboot flashing unlock" or "fastboot OEM unlock" it just hangs and says <waiting for any device> i feel like i might be missing something here.

how on earth did you guys unlock it? i read someone said they did it without the "Sn.img" file. how did you guys do it?
