If we talk about the same, just a long press on home screen (any screen) opens a window with several buttons at the bottom (wallpaper / widgets / desktop settings). You can pick the ones you want from the list provided in Widgets, and rearrange them as well on the screens with a long press on them (move / remove / change size for some of them only).

Just, I always get this pop-up message when clicking on the widgets button: "Several widgets cannot be perfectly displayed in current layout. Recommend to switch the layout."

A bit annoying and not sure what it means, if related to old widgets I added, or DPI I changed.

I'm already on 14.0.222, and can't go up to 14.0.231, even if I use this update. Any ideas?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Sparda0:
Got the 14.0.197 to 231 last night. Got a few questions and maybe your suggestions would help. Because I am not happy with this ROM compared to ZUI13.

1. Sluggish even at 120hz compared to 13. Will factory reset help?

2. How to enable swipe up to home and swipe up and hold with Nova Launcher?

3. How to disable the annoying chinese search bar from the stock launcher? It prevents me from doing the above mentioned gestures. And its there if I enable the old school android buttons.

4. Can I go back to ZUI13 by simply flashing the ROM?

Please help!

Thank you!
[Lenovo Legion Y700] mickey36736:
Here is the update zip file found in Chinese forum

From 14.0.222 to 14.0.231
[Lenovo Legion Y700] elm0nch:
I agree with you, now every transition looks cracked, the previos ROM was much more smooth.

I am using Nova Launcher with gestures, to swipe up and got to Nova Launcher home you need to set Nova as default Launcher. You can do it inside Nova Settings
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Fredwood:
Why already another update? Does someone knows what is the difference between the two?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Fredwood:
Strange thing (but good surprise!): after having installed that new ZUI 14.0.231 ST update (directly from the tablet), I got the Google Play Store icon back and Play Store looks functional! 😮😀
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Style68:
If anyone is interested, I created a basic 3D print of an adapter that will mount the Y700 to a Nacon MG-X PRO controller. I designed it based on using the Official Magnetic Smart case.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] udenfox:
Not worked for me.

The problem is when launcher is NOT the Zui "home" gesture stops working in every app.

It looks like swipe from the bottom starts to pulling up this app bar with Chinese search icon and "home" gesture just not registering.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] scarbutt11:
Had the tablet for about a month now. Just got the OTA for zui14. I was holding off but I will probably update tonight. This is mostly a media device for me so the pc mode and gaming center changes are not a huge deal.

I am excited about pen support though. Which pens are confirmed to work with it? Its the one thing I miss from my galaxy tab since I read through pdfs for work and highlight often.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] navi1er:
Anyway to disable study assist thing? Keeps annoying me randomly popping up. Also does anyone feel like their devices battery drain slightly more?

Yes, battery is draining quicker

Cześć, jestem tu nowy, kupiłem tabletkę Lenovo Legion y700 na Aliexpres, właśnie do mnie dotarła. Mam problem z GPS, nie mogę włączyć nawigacji GPS. Pobrałem aplikację - test GPS - nie widzi satelitów. Proszę o pomoc w rozwiązaniu problemu GPS.

Does anyone know how to remove this search from the default launcher dock? And possibly how to stop it from popping up when using gestures?

And where did you see this? I'm sorry but you have been misinformed.

https://item.lenovo.com.cn/product/...h&pmf_medium=wapicon&pmf_source=Z00024639T000

Here is the link to the official Chinese Lenovo page, this tablet does not have a gps version. You need to purchase an external gps receiver to get gps functions on this device.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] elm0nch:
Do you guys know part number, or where to buy, the y700 inside speakers?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Fredwood:
Technically no GPS apparently but there seems to be kind of localization feature that can be activated. Not sure how it works exactly (it asks for permissions to share certain datas with Baidu).

I quickly tried on Google Maps and it found my exact localization.

Maybe less reliable (and not in real time?) than real GPS, but can still be interesting and do the job for certain apps (for now certain app relying on localization are marked unavailable for the device in the Play Store).

If someone knows more about that feature and how it works exactly?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Sparda0:
Exactly! So freaking annoying and made me switch back to old school buttons. Even with Android buttons, a 4th one was added for the stupid chinese search and you can't even remove it.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] udenfox:
It's strange that someone says that it working fine.

I want to remove that Chinese search too. Also looking about how to enable Nearby share. Really miss this feature.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] scarbutt11:
I wonder if there is a way to remove it using adp. Someone smarter than me will need to dig around. Or if they can point me in the right direction.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] TenjhoKaos:
It has an option to enable wifi/hotspot based gps
[Lenovo Legion Y700] LisaMaria:
So really tired of not being able to have a Sim card in this thing so I bought the 8. 4 samsung tab a from Amazon. They have it for 109 bucks. I'll probably end up returning it but I'll try it out for 2 weeks. I imagine one of my tablets will grow dust and the other will be used more. I just won't be able to root that thing and I can the legion. Really would be nice if they didn't make me have to look for other devices to give this device internet! Of corse the tab a has no haptic feedback so it will feel dead. Always gotta remove something needed :rolleyes:
[Lenovo Legion Y700] rahlquist:
So if someone were to order one today, you would recommend getting it with the stock Chinese rom?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] scarbutt11:
Yeah I bought mine from aliexpress and asked for it to be left sealed. There isn’t a global rom so all they do is turn it on and install the play store. I can do that and I trust myself to not install anything fishy as well.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] scarbutt11:
Literally bought one of those right before I finally grabbed the y700. It’s not terrible but you are definitely spoiled after using the y700
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Nit3H8wk:
Anyone able to actually use aptx adaptive on zui 14? I see it in the list on developer options but it's greyed out but worked fine on zui 13. My headphones are mark levinson N0 5909.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Ale_ax:
I would say yes
[Lenovo Legion Y700] DEEPDISH2K21:
Yes, here is OK. Only LHDC disappeared.

Edit: Why don't you use ldac? Your headphone supports easily.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] LazyPCRehab:
I also just got Auto-Updated to ZUI 14, right after explaining to a friend that I was gonna stay on 13 for awhile.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] LazyPCRehab:
Just got the 2nd ZUI 14 update and Play Store is working fine again, my paid apps launch and I was signed back into Google Play (was asking me to sign in after 1st update). The new pull-down control center is hot garbage.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] LisaMaria:
Well good thing my legion is going nowhere. I mean 109 Is nothing for that cute 8.4 cute mocha brown tab and its better than a phone and I can use it as one if I like. Also tmobile has a 5 dollar plan that unlimited and they really don't slow it down much at all after the "high speed" part is over. I guess I'll just have options of which one I grab for the day! Really miss being able to just just use a Sim card. My only complaint. Stop being mean lenovo lol
[Lenovo Legion Y700] thejackson5:
After months of ignoring the device's urgings to update to ZUI 14, it decided to update last night anyway whilst I was sleeping. Sounds like they did this to others as well. This is beyond frustrating for two reasons (the first I knew would happen if I updated, the second is a surprise):

1. PC mode is gone, which is 90% of how I use my device. I bought it with a rollable bluetooth keyboard/trackpad. It's a computer that fits in my pocket, and now that's largely gone or requires third-party workarounds. I feel like I spent $600 on a business computer that turned itself into a gaming tablet overnight.

2. It's tough to explain my setup, but what's important is that, for my audio needs, I project my audio (not necessarily my screen, I just don't care if this occurs or does not as I'm using the Y700 screen) to another device that's connected to a set of external speakers. On ZUI 13, this worked perfectly. On ZUI 14, it simultaneously plays to both my device speakers and my other device (well, the speakers connected thereto). Except, it's not simultaneous, it's ever-so-slightly delayed, so as to make it absolutely maddening to listen to. I can't imagine a use case in which this would ever be needed/desired. The worst part is that I can't imagine this was an intentional decision on some coder's part. More likely, it was just some weird quirk of random code coming together in a fashion that changed the behaviour. And it conspired to make it such that I can't stream audio anywhere to any device that I have.

Nearly my entire use — all of the need, and almost all of the want — for the tablet has disappeared overnight. This isn't workable. I'm so incredibly frustrated that this was pushed out to us. It sounds like auto-update may have been enabled, but that should have at least been made clear on setup and, more probably, not even the default option. Notify people when an update is available, sure. Let them check out the changelog. But the idea that we're all morons who don't know what we prefer better than the manufacturer whether our device is as we'd like it, and need to be pushed into their vision for it, has caused me my business device.

I'm reasonably technical, but nobody's programmer. I'm not confident in my ability to unlock the bootloader without bricking my device completely, let alone in my ability to then install another ROM. Frankly, if it were an option, I'd return this device and lose all my data just to be sent a fresh one with ZUI 13 and disable auto-update.

My only option here is to buy another device, which is a luxury I didn't budget for when I shelled out for this one, or to hope that in a year's time ZUI 15 will fix these both, which is unlikely. I'm absolutely gutted.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] LazyPCRehab:
I also didn't know that Auto-Update was enabled by default and miss the more simple layout. Luckily I did not rely on PC Mode, but the battery life is something I am concerned about going forward. So far the battery life doesn't seem terribly affected, but I will wait and see.

Now that you are on 14, I would definitely recommend the 2nd update that is pushed for 14, it fixed issues I was having with the Play Store.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] gnoted:
I also got auto-updated (without my permission, grr) last night.

Google Play also didn't work until I ran the second update.

If you're going to throw it away and buy something else instead of unlocking it (which isn't really that hard), I'd be happy to take it off your hands. Just PM me.

Just unlock it and install the stock ZUI 13 rom, then do better than me and stop it from auto-updating.

So far I must be the only one who's happy with the update. The animations look smoother/better. Not a fan of the childish appleish simplified look of the new pull-down settings thing, but not a big deal.

I'm so used to dragging down notifications bar and then hitting the cog to get to settings that it's very weird for me that there's no cog there and you have to launch a separate settings app, not sure if that was changed since 13, or I'd just already set up all the settings the way I wanted them?

The side switch also works for me now which is nice, even though it doesn't do that much.

I've got my fingers crossed that this update might be better about not auto-killing background apps so much.

I haven't used PC mode, prob the only time I'd use it is if I was travelling on holidays.

I've also made sure to set the update app to not auto update this time. Y'all can be the guinea pigs. 😃
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Koronium:
Thinking of buying Y700. Will be using it mainly for media consumption and not gaming. But saw a YT review that complained abt the color balance being off for watching videos. Any feedback?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Trafford Devil:
It's quite easy to unlock the bootloader and go back to ZUI 13 just read through the previous posts and you'll get there.

If anyone wants to stop further updates then you can disable (DO NOT UNINSTALL, ONLY DISABLE) com.zui.cores it also disables that annoying notification that you get every time you restart the tablet.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] gnoted:
On Zui 14 now.

Anyone know how to disable the new button in the bottom-right that brings up the menu ("taskbar")?

I can't press the button next to it to change keyboard anymore. When I try to press it, it activates the stupid menu. AARGH.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Sparda0:
Exactly my issue. It also messes up with the swipe navigation when you are on Nova Launcher.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] seeayesix:
I haven't noticed anything wrong with the colour balance, but then again I'm not super picky when it comes to this. Overall I'm very impressed by the tablet, and I use it 75% for watching videos, rest web browsing. I've replaced ZUI with crDroid 9.1
[Lenovo Legion Y700] gnoted:
N

No problems with colors, and I'm pretty fussy. I'm also not a gamer. I'd prefer OLED but as far as LCD goes, it's very nice.

Very happy with the performance but I do find the Y700 a little chunky, it's 40% heavier and thicker than my old Tab S2 8.0 which was a very similar screen size (and also OLED).

One thing I've noticed is that if you're wearing polarized sunglasses, then landscape mode is completely black.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] qqqfox:
Got my tablet from Ali, with "global rom" unfortunately. Tried to rollback on original chinese firmware and encountered problems with abd commands, then sahara errors in qfil. The problem was locked bootloader, i don't really understand how it works with this global rom(this is my first experience with chinese android device), but i got it solved with external help, now i'm on zui 13 and with wi-fi updates. So, installing google play from the chinese store app and staying on zui 13 is the best option? I need it for games, reading and media
[Lenovo Legion Y700] smithrb:
I have a y700 bought from ebay. Came with global ROM. I would like to apply all OS upgrades available. Nothing is offered OTA. Is there way to upgrade to OS latest manualy, or do I have step through each to get there?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] LazyPCRehab:
The more I use mine with the ZUI 14 update, the more I'm liking it. The pull down menu is terrible in landscape, slightly better in portrait and the battery hit is nowhere near what I thought it would be. Tha haptics seems to work better and my Play Store is going strong.

I would love to see a system wide language setting in the future and an expansion of the custom switch (VPN, DND, etc).
[Lenovo Legion Y700] xnappo:
Could someone please try to download 'Tasker Autoapps' from the Play Store and just click any of the buttons (Voice for example)?

Newbie, dumb question, and Reading through all comments seem like Zui 14 sucks for most people. I got the "Global" ROM tablet it seems like I don't get any updates, Is there a way to manually update the tablet? I have Zui 13.0.586 ST, Android 11 (lol)

I've seen some update.zip and put it in the root folder but wasn't sure. I don't care about PC mode or gaming, I usually use it for watching videos and reading. I heard Lenovo pen works on Zui 14 and that would be dope for me. Thank you!
[Lenovo Legion Y700] qqqfox:
I installed it from chinese app application, everything seems fine except since today I can't purchase anything in games and it says "disconnected from google play", I guess I'll try apkmirror. Such a nice and small tablet, but chinese os is a big let down
[Lenovo Legion Y700] LordKillalot:
Late reply, but better than never I guess. Tried that as well as reinstalling all of the Google services, but I couldn't get my paid apps to register. Ended up giving up and factory resetting over the weekend, thankfully I do not have a bunch of stuff I need to backup/restore.

I must have messed up something during the reinstallation of Play services after the upgrade which borked my install. After the factory reset and installation of missing Google Play apps, things appear to be working normally solid explorer and other apps correctly recognize that they are paid.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Fredwood:
Have you tried to go to the settings > About tablet > System updates

?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] loory99:
Yes, that's the thing. It doesn't show up for some reason.

When I search in the setting it shows "system update" but can't see it on about tablet page
[Lenovo Legion Y700] gnoted:
You also have to disable battery optimization for all the google stuff and allow autostart apps in permissions.

I agree, the app killing is stupid. Android isn't android without notifications. So dumb, and not in the interests of the consumer that you can't turn it off.
