[ROM][CM10] Thinkpad Tablet (v0.9)

It's jelly time. Made by a TPT user for TPT users.
Notice
Developed on a WE/16Gb 3G TPT. US, UK and ROW Tablets (any size) are confirmed to work, too
Density set to 160 dpi to keep market compatibility. Don't like to do this but the market problems are just annoying. Change it with a appropriate app if you don't like it (btw. our native density is approximate 150 dpi).
Flash on your own risk! Might turn your TPT into a expensive chopping board.
Requirements
This build uses the Lenovo ICS kernel, you need to upgrade to stock ICS first (Make sure you keep root!)
A ICS ClockworkMod version like this one.
Screenshots
here (Thanks obscure.detour)
Installation
Download ROM zipfile (and 3G patch if you want to) and put it on a sd-card
Boot into CWM (Reboot and press Vol+)
Make a nandroid backup in CWM!
Make sure the backup worked!
Full Wipe (May not be needed if you come from an earlier CM10 version)
Flash zip in CWM
Optional: Flash 3G patch in CWM
reboot
Restore Stock ICS
Boot into CWM (Reboot and press Vol+)
Restore old nandroid backup
Additional Steps
If you have problems with random reboots or sleep of death try to change wifi to "always on". You can find it in: settings->wifi->"click the 3 dots in the upper right"->advanced->keep wifi on during sleep

Amazing! I cannot thank you enough for your continued work Koshu.
Doing a nandroid and testing now. No reason it should not work on a US-based tablet, correct?
Also, any chance we could get an MD5 checksum? Sorry, I'm kind of crazy

Should work. WE, US and UK are pretty much the same devices except the 3G card. I'm just curious if this ROM works also on ROW.

Will test in the morning long day of college and work, need to sober up before I tackle this. Thanks for the Jelly Bean up date.

This ROM is running amazingly well. Everything I do, it does it fast and smoothly. Project Butter truly stands out here. Never has this tablet felt so buttery smooth.
I even installed Major Mayhem to try a game out and I feel like it ran better than the official ICS build (OTA3).
Google Now works. USB drive and mouse worked fine. Pen works fine in Lecture Notes and Quill. The pen button does not work in Quill though, pretty sure it has something to do with the way Quill detects the active pen. Sound works, video works as long as it is SD.
Other than that I'll leave you all with these screenshots.
Great job Koshu and thank you!

You have really nice hand writing on the last screenshot.
This is awesome, and just in time as school is approaching . Can't wait to try it out .
Koshu keep up the good work, this is amazing. expect a donation once I get this loaded.
If someone get's it up on a ROW Tablet, please advise!

You have a ROW tablet? Please let me know if this works and if it doesn't (i assume it won't even boot in this case) send me a copy of your boot.img. As i didn't need to modify the kernel itself (compared to ICS with the HC kernel) we could just try to switch the kernels and see what happens.

Project butter is one pf the main reasons i want to get JB on the TPT^^ it's really awesome. Thanks for the screenshots, If you don't mind i would like to post a link to your post in the OP in case someone wants some.

Nice Job Koshu!!:good: will give it a try when i get clockwork up and running.. :fingers-crossed:
US TPT 16GB 3G with 32GB sd card

Very nice work, Maybe I should give it a try .

Absolutely, feel free to share the pics. It is running super smooth I am absolutely loving it so far. Now I've got JB CM10 on both of my devices!
Also, I have noticed Chrome runs really great. About a thousand times better than ICS (OTA3). Gets a little slow sometimes with 15-20+ tabs but that is to be expected with our aged hardware.
Another note: I use CSipSimple, it allows me to use SIP in combination with a PBX server (Pbxes.org) for WiFi calling on my phone. I have never been able to get it to work with any Lenovo ROMs. Well it works on this ROM! I can now make/receive calls with my tablet using WiFi. I know many don't know or even care what this is, but just wanted to share my excitement.

Working well here too. Although I get cell phone indicator in my tray

Yeah I forgot to mention that. You need to enable Airplane mode and then enable WiFi. Although, because I use it on my phone as well, I've been using an app called AutoAP. It automatically enables airplane mode when using a saved WiFi network. For some reason it says it isn't compatible with our tablet in the Play Store. It is literally the only app I could find that wasn't "compatible". It works fine if you sideload it. Download here.
Since this and the few other issues being the GPS(it never worked anyway), HW acceleration for HD playback, and the light sensor I haven't found any reason for it to not be my daily driver.
Cheers.

Omg wow! I need to dig out my TPT!!

US 32GB TPT and loving Jelly Bean can't wait to see were this goes from here. Thanks for all the hard work with JB and CWM.

Awesome! HQ video decoding and recording! You are truly a gentleman. Cannot wait to try it out. When my school expenses subsides I'll be donating to you.
Also, you may link directly to the images using the imgur link if you want instead of linking to my post. http://imgur.com/a/r0Iq2 I could also embed them in the 2nd post if you would like.
EDIT: Build v0.2 seems to be fine. HQ videos do indeed work in YouTube. I was even able to get a 720p (mkv) encoded video streaming over WiFi. Works flawlessly (24fps).

Koshu, is there a foreseeable future for 3G in your CM10 builds for TPT?
I'm just curious if it's a hurdle you have hopes in clearing. I'm running a GOBI3000 and paying for a data plan that I'm trying to get the most out of.
BTW, I've got my TPT heading back for service and I'm crossing my fingers for an OTA 2.5 system upon return. Get my root back...

I think i try fixing 3G next as the other parts are more or less minor problems (gps more, lightsensor less). But i don't have a gobi card but an ericsson, so i will start with the ericsson card to get a grip on this and after the ericsson card is working we could give gobi gobi a try. But this includes a lot of testing and i will need someone with a gobi device to help me out.

Ah great, then lenovo finally uses a similar kernel for both devices, meaning i can play around with the kernel a bit (would like to add cifs and nfs support, maybe even overclocking some day).

[ROM] [Project ] Pure AOSP 5.0.2_plus Google Updates (2/1/2015) Mako Beta

The idea behind this project is to compile a Pure AOSP ROM. The difference is I have been little by little including and testing new commits added to the for the most part unstable staging master branch code from Google AOSP that has not yet been tagged for a future Lollipop update., hence the reason for 5.0.2_Plus name. The only change added to the code that was not committed first by Google is that the ZIP can be flashed in TWRP without replacing TWRP with the Stock Recovery and that is it. At the moment because of limited testing as I do not own a Nexus 4 and all changes have been tested on the Nexus 5 felt untill a few return performance reports best to call this a beta version. With that said the same changes have made some improvments and fixed a few issues experienced by Nexus 5 users using the oficial 5.0.1 update or compiled from the AOSP android-5.0.2_r1 branch. So if start receiving comments that all has been well on the Mako build or see say 100 download without a complaint reported will remove the beta tag. I suspect this will be the case as the commits are not device related.
I honestly started the project for the Nexus 5 with the idea that maybe as a community a few developers could help work on the project so everyone had an updated version of the latest release version that included the latest fixes and had not intended on compiling for the Nexus 4. After my second release another XDA member had asked if it would be possible to make a Nexus 4 port for a friend. At that point as there had been little interest in the project by other Nexus 5 Developers I would post the Mako ota package I compiled for the user who had asked for one. I also have my own Starship Rom and am part of a new developer team so again was meant as a community project and not intended to be released as my Rom or really even released at all with the intention of being a resource for other developers to either use as the base of whatever new AOSP Rom they may intend on developing or selectively picking pieces or fixes. So going with the same idea after compiling the asked for Mako version thought why just limit the idea to just the Nexus 5 as all Nexus devices share the same code from AOSP with exception of needing to add a different set of propriety vendor blobs and choosing a different lunch command for building. So the same goes as intended for the Nexus 5. If any Nexus 4 developers would be interested in joining in on the project Just let me know and I will grant full access to the Github account and create a new branch so we can test and insure the master branch is always %100 stable if it is going to be used by other Nexus developers..
A few examples of the commits that have been added.

Root is optional but recommend SuperSU
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
Have had version 2.37 in storage and had been using without issue but updated to 2,40 with last test without any issues. What can I say Im lazy that way so unless having an issue just used what works but figured most would grab the latest so thought it best to give it a test before posting.
Kernel is %100 Stock but going with past experience if mrg666 has a Kernel availible for your device it should be the Kernel you are using.

Change Log 5.0.2_plus_r2
Removed the below commit "Add ip6-localhost to /system/etc/hosts."
https://github.com/android/platform_system_core/commit/25147416bb105914c3cdf8fd65ca7cc20dae0f3e
Looks like a few apps are not fans of having an ip6 entry for localhost. Transparent Weather Widget for example can not find the device location with the enty included.
In looking for the cause of the above issue also reverted.
https://github.com/android/platform_frameworks_base/commit/e4ec09da0b4a31e23f1a19bdd1ea99e0f87cadac
Honestly reverted looking for the cause and did not remember to restore once identifying the cause. Overall is an old commit and dont think will make any difference whatsoever or would have been tagged for use in a past release so not going to bother.
As usual I am not responsible for your device and you are using anything posted in this thread at your own Risk.
This is %100 AOSP with no extra theming at all including bootanimation so no screen shots, as a Nexus User are probably aware what AOSP looks like at this point.

Don't mean to be rude, but you're still living in 2014, apparently. LOL . Classic mistake, I guess. Check the title dude.

Its cool, such a classic XDA first comment though. Could discover the holy grail and receive 15 comments about a spelling error. Adding I guess makes it that much better. Going to leave it in and see how many times your comment is over looked by someone so proud to have noticed it first, lol.

This is exactly what i have been looking for, we need more Roms like this. Thanks OP downloading now:good:

I hope you don't think it was something personal, man. Your title made my day. With all these exams, I've been all stressed out, and your title made reminded me of the time when I was sitting in bed with the laptop in front of me, thinking it's a long time till the exam session. LOL

Good rom so far, only thing was that data roaming was enabled by default.

I was just joking but still think it will be amusing to see how many skip past your post to point out the same. I actually test software for a living after it has been installed on an energy management diagnostic system both for new version testing and quality control before shipping and need to sign off that each system was checked out including the date. Had just recently worked on my birthday and was a highly unusually busy day but ended up signing off the date as 1976 (my birth year) on about forty systems. What is even more humorous is the amount of complaints from technicians who thought they received a system using a Nexus 7, now 9 for use as a portable User interface believed they had received software that had not been checked out since 1976. With that said most installers come from an HVAC technical school background and still use AOL as their contact email address. Lol!

Will look into that I'm happy to know it is working out. I basically just took my N5 source added the Mako vendor blobs and compiled using a different lunch command. Will go back and see if data roaming being enabled by default is a result of my updates or is set in general aosp 5.0.2 after work. Even though intention is keeping as pure as can be should still be looked at.
Think it would be nice if we could get a few devs together from across the current Nexus devices lineup and do our best to keep an aosp Rom available adding in the latest updates and bug fixes into the most current release for all Nexus devices. Not just for users but for other devs to use in their own aosp based work. Beleive if we could get something like that going would be pretty sweet and not all that time consuming. Still lots of updates added by Google devs every day. Some a bit more complicated then what I have done that a small group could easily bang out and test. Everything comes from the Master aosp branch that can get messy with constant new commits around the clock but think if selective in adding into latest release could be a beneficial project. So using my phrase of the week with that said I am going to build and post a version for all the Nexus devices in an attempt at gaining interest in the project. Again with that said I am torn for tonight as can try producing thr first N5 version that is sprint compatible or build for my Nexus 9. I am very much looking forwored to trying it out with jusst Simple ol aosp but at the same time feal bad for the Nexus 5 Sprint users who are all stuck on stock because other Roms are missing the aditional files added in for the radio to work.

I was just joking but still think it will be amusing to see how many skip past your post to point out the same. I actually test software for a living after it has been installed on an energy management diagnostic system both for new version testing and quality control before shipping and need to sign off that each system was checked out including the date. Had just recently worked on my birthday and was a highly unusually busy day but ended up signing off the date as 1976 (my birth year) on about forty systems. What is even more humorous is the amount of complaints from technicians who thought they received a system using a Nexus 7, now 9 for use as a portable User interface believed they had received software that had not been checked out since 1976. With that said most installers come from an HVAC technical school background and still use AOL as their contact email address. Lol!

LMAO. That was funny

flashed yesterday with nothing to complain until now
thanks for this build
edit: found first bug (maybe)
whle setting Chronus Weather and also Transparent Clock Widget
the phone couldn't find it's location.
Pop up on the screen stated....
"Cannot retrieve location!"
Network geolocation is disabled
Set a custom location or enable location
already try High Accuracy, Battery saving and Device only but it never show my location
the widget always appear with "Loading weather data"
If i choose Battery saving then Google Location Reporting will turn grey and not clickable, other two option made it clickable again but still my location show "Loading weather data"
maybe someone are having this too?
how to fix it please?
thank you very much

Think I got the fix and am compiling now. Hopfully have up by tonight if not morning. I am on the N5 though and have no issue with beatifull widgets finding my location or maps with navigation working which is my goto test apps along with GPS test. After reading your post tried Transparent Clock Widget and the app was not able to find my location. I did manage to fix this on my N5 so am rebuilding for Mako using the same source. Now have all the Mako Vendor proprietary blobs set up in vendor so can build either Hammerhead or Mako depending on lunch command. Still though will need testing on N4 as I am on the N5.

Droid4 ROM Reviews - crDroid

I've tried out several of the ROMs available for the Droid 4 and I was already taking notes on each of them, so thought I'd share a review on each here. I already posted my thoughts on LineageOS 14.1 in a previous thread so we'll skip straight to crDroid.
crDroid 3.8.5 is the latest addition to the D4 scene. It runs Android 7.1.2 and is based on LineageOS 14.1, apparently branched from the spyder builds. Its advantages include support for JJB's overclock kernels, in fact WiFi doesn't work without it; support for use of the altpart Safestrap to repurpose the webtop partition and give you the largest 1.3GB /system partition in your stock slot; built-in signature spoofing for MicroG/Xposed support; the most recent (Jan/2018) Android security patch level; integrated custom fonts; Ad Away browser integration; great battery life; and its own cool settings section with lots of other custom features. Like all Android V5+ versions this supports hand-wave notifications on the lock screen.
Its disadvantages are that it's fairly thick due to being on 7.1.2, and unless you're running MicroG or a very tiny Gapps package (Slim Zero or OpenG pico), it can be slow, though not nearly as bad as LineageOS 14.1 on which it's based. Videos are jerky and audio stutters. It's really intended to be used with MicroG. And despite being around only six months, it is no longer officially supported by the crDroid team, so no further updates at this time. A major factor for users of Google Voice is that it displays the routing phone number of your call rather than your actual destination phone number during the call, which can be confusing at worst and annoying at best. The call log still shows the correct destination phone number though. I'm not sure where the bug for this lives but it is specific to the ROM. Most annoyingly, the swipe-to-unlock is quirky - you have to swipe fully from bottom to top, and fairly quickly. It usually takes a couple attempts before the phone unlocks, making it difficult if not impossible to do with one hand.
Verdict: Best of the AOSP V7 ROMs for D4. But V7 isn't necessarily the best choice for D4 because of its high RAM usage. Unless there's a reason you absolutely need to run V7, i.e. for an app, you're better off with an older release that uses less RAM.

Thanks for you review. It is awesome to see that there still is active members hanging around. In my mind Lollipop was a bit laggy on Droid 4 compared to KitKat roms but Marshmallow and specially Nougat roms have improved the situation. I can consider Nougat as a daily driver for Droid 4 in 2018. I just hope that we could still see Android Oreo Go edition on our device.

SMS sending not working in LineageOS 15.1

Hi,
I'm acually working on LineageOS 15.1 and I'm running into a problem:
In frameworks/base/core/java/android/content/BroadcastReceiver.java (in the method PendingResult beginning with line 86) the resultCode is set to 4!
This is
Code:
RESULT_SMS_UNSUPPORTED
added in API level 19
public static final int RESULT_SMS_UNSUPPORTED
Set by BroadcastReceiver to indicate that the message, while possibly valid, is of a format or encoding that is not supported.
Constant Value: 4 (0x00000004)
My problem is, I can't figure out, where and why this is set!
So, it's not possible to send a message via SMS...
Any help is welcome!

These two main problems are left in LineageOS 15.1:
Camera not working
Sending SMS not working
There are a few minor problems, but they are not important.
If there is no further help, this finally will be the end of developing this ROM! :crying:

thanks for the work
im just want stable rom.
my stock ROM reboot too much everday after rooting.
so now im using 14.1 no reboot here, you already lose lots good options in the LA14 camera like slow motion(high fps rate) and EIS \ OIS
this phone slowly dying
even my old sony(LWW) was develop from android 2.3 upto 7.1 (through CM to lineage) about 7 years (include custom roms)

I understand what you are saying but I think the users enjoying Bernie's ROM are practical users who do not care about latest (crap) features like live emoji or animojis or whatever teenage functions they implement. Real innovations are not to be found. Currenty i switch between my iPhone 7 and Z5c every other week. I still think my Z5c rocks!
I would love to try L15 so I sincerely hope Bernie will find support for his development.

Yes; I know. But I've set a logging command at this point and the code is never reached.
So, it ("4") must be set somewhere else...
I've set so much logging commands in some suspicious sourcecode-files but I can't figure out, where this could happen.
The logging commands are showing this chronological order:
Code:
packages/apps/Messaging/src/com/android/messaging/util/PhoneUtils.java #getCanonicalByCountry()
- MessagingApp: (bt): Number valid at this point! getCanonicalByCountry(): canonicalNumber: +nnnnnnnnnnn
>>> It must happen [B]after[/B] the above sourcecode-file and [B]before[/B] the next ones: <<<
frameworks/base/core/java/android/app/LoadedApk.java (Don't find anything)
frameworks/base/core/java/android/content/BroadcastReceiver.java #getResultCode() #PendingResult() #getPendingResult() and #setPendingResult()
- BroadcastReceiver: (bt): PendingResult(Line 86): resultCode: 4

Hi,
I'm already working over 2 years at the N80XX devices (mostly LineageOS) and want to introduce you my version of SlimRoms Slim7.
For sure I want to thank all guy's which were ever working on these devices and also in general at the smdk4412.
I also want to thank the SlimRoms team and @Android-Andi for applying the latest security patches.
I've added some extra functionality like for example wakening up the device when you pull out the pen, back event when you press the pen button,
fast charging for every power supply, working keyboard dock + lineout functioning, signature spoofing for microG, Magisk hide support and much more...
I can't guarantee that there aren't any bugs, so I need you for testing and giving me a feedback.
Spoiler: Not working at the moment
N8020: incoming calls doesn't pop up, outgoing calls + internet (also LTE) are working fine.
HDMI out for all of them, not implemented.
Links:
TWRP
N8000 Rom
N8010 / N8013 Rom
N8020 Rom
To disable the sec_keyboard for example to play games without any hardware keyboard,
simply flash my magisk module to disable it:
sec_keyboard disabler
If you are going to use Gapps,
I recommend to use the pico package!
https://opengapps.org/
For the others, you can use microG if you want to.
Do you like my work?
Than you can simply hit the thanks button and consider to spend me a coffee or a beer,
I'm doing this in my free time and it also costs a lot of money to buy hardware.

Spoiler: How to install it?
Instructions
Because of my work on Android 9 and Android 11, I'm not able to proceed with all my Android 7 ROM's,
including Slim7.
I hope you can understand this and I will leave everything here as it is.
If you have to upgrade in future, check out my other ROM's.

Flying with Slim
My old, beat up 8013 on Slim is absolutely flying! Definitely the best out of the 4 or 5 nougat roms I've tried. ?
A noob question, can I disable the mouse/cursor in drawing apps when the stylus is active? The "pointer" in Developer Options can't toggle it on or off.

Hi,
thanks for testing and the almost positive feedback,
it would be great if you could make a last_kmsg after a reboot happens.
With this we could find out from where the problem does come from.

I never thought that the mouse pointer could be desturbing .
There is no way for now, to disable it, but I will take a look at it
so that maybe we can deactivate it in future.

Can't get it installed
A good morning from the Netherlands, I can install lineageOs but I can't install your rom.
Can I flash your rom over lineageOs or is it necessary for a full format/cleanup.... because option 2 doesn't work for me.
Greetings from this side

Good morning,
it is necessary to do a normal factory reset.
Have you checked the md5 sum? Maybe a download error occured.

Tried an other one and yes it works thanks for the reply.
I just bought one yesterday... second hand...for me and my wife.
But maybe a noob question...ps touch and s-note aren't they in the package or am I missing something.
Gr mike

Hi Mike,
S-Note was only buildt for KitKat in the samsung stock firmware,
for this you have to use alternativevs with custom roms.
The pen itself should work fine.

Okay, so I downloaded this ROM.
Overall I'm not a fan, but I gotta give credit where it's due...
This ROM is fast and it doesn't seem to have an MTP bug! It's actually kinda usable.
It also supports Substratum Themes.
But this ROM also has some negatives!
The default browser (Lightning Browser) really sucks. It has a tab limit and tries to upsell you to a paid version. To use your own hosts file in the browser's adblock, you have to pay. There are far better browsers that could of been included instead that doesn't restrict any of it's features. I would of preferred to see Via Browser, Firefox, or Chromium included instead.
The version of Open Camera included seems to be missing features, such as Camera 2 API support (with all the additional adjustments it supports), and 60 Hz anti flickering. It also crashes upon taking a picture.
The default equalizer sucks. It just has a terrible looking UI that doesn't scale for the size of these tablets. The one in Lineage OS at least looked better and allowed saving presets. Additionally, there is no default music player (which Lineage OS did have even if it wasn't that great, you had something you could use).
Other notable missing apps I can remember from Lineage OS include: the screen recorder with voice recorder and the file manager (better than stock Android's).
It seems the stylus cursor does not have the ability to be disabled in settings as well.

Thanks for the hints, I've tried them and it works for me...my wife misses the...you can write on a website and cope send or something like that, it runs like a tablet supposed to do of that age and it's great

Thank you for your feedback.
Which browser would you prefere? I can build every browser with the system.
Just want to mention, it's not LineageOS, its's Slim, this means that there are different apps and many not.
This make's the system as fast as it is.
But I could pack all apps with the system you've mentioned, if you all want this .
For everyone who would prefere a LineageOS can download it here:

Via Browser is pretty small and lightweight, has plenty of features without being complicated, no paywalls, and the source code is available: https://github.com/tuyafeng/Via
...otherwise Firefox.
For a small, but capable music player there is Vanilla Music and 4 addons to add some nice features (like lyrics search, tag editing, cover fetch, and metadata fetch), All for free, no paywalls, not bloated.
It's probably better to download Open Camera from the Play Store and include it, or maybe FDroid? I think those builds may have more of the features.
VLC is great for media playback.
It might be nice if you include Substratum for themes (as it does work) but that's not necessary.
Also searching for Terminal in settings shows a result, but it's not available for enabling. Would love to see that return as an option.

Built-in physical keyboard issue
Hello, html6405!
First and foremost, huge thanks for still maintaining these old devices. This ROM fixed some of the main issues of the other ROMs based on Android 7.1 for my GT-N8000. Namely, the settings app and the MTP service don't regularly crash anymore and adaptive brightness, as well as the night light finally work correctly. However, it doesn't fix one of the problems I've always had with custom ROMs for my device, which is having no ability to toggle off the built-in physical keyboard. While it usually doesn't bother me when using apps, I like racing games and want to occasionally play Asphalt 8. Unfortunately, upon detecting a physical keyboard (no matter even if it's fake) the game completely refuses to give any touch-based controls, and so I am left with an unplayable game.
To make such apps usable, can you either remove the built-in physical keyboard or give an option to disable it in the settings, please?
Once again, thanks for the awesome and stable ROM, and good luck in your developer career!

Hi,
thanks for your feedback, I never thought about this, to disable the keyboard.
The driver is always registered, even if it's not connected.
But when you connect the physical keyboard, a uevent will be sent to the system to recognize it.
In my opinion these games should give us the opportunity to choose how we want to control.
But I will try to find a solution for this!

Ok via browser is good, I will use it for the future builds.
I will try your recommended music players and eventually I will build the terminal with the system.
For the other things I will also take a look at it.
