Restart to recovery/bootloader don't work. The tablet restarts to OS in both cases. (dev menu -> advanced restart)
I'll post more bugs as I'll find them.

Upgraded from 15 to 16. Working without problems so far. Thanks!

It doesn't connect to hidden SSID wifi network. when adding a network there's an option to specify that the SSID is hidden or not..
Rotate lock screen isn't present in Settings but it appears in Search.
Ethernet connection doesn't work.

Quick update:
2018-04-21
Fixed reboot to recovery and bootloader from reboot menu
Fixed long time to wake up screen
Fixed Deep sleep

Thank you. The 15.1 built was amazing already.
Do we have to flash new gaaps when upgrading?

I have upgraded from latest 15.1. Some observations:
Vibration does not work for me in the initial 16.0 release.
Longer wake up time (i see it's fixed in new built).
I also didn't realize 15.1 gapps are not compatible with 16.0 so after upgrading just the LOS I experienced gapps crash fest. It's better after installing MindTheGaps9 but now launches and crashes some silly Pixel Phone wizard app on almost every transition to home screen, preventing opening home screen. There is a workaround getting to home screen by using history button and clicking on background. Some apps failed to start, like Youtube but reinstallation healed the issue.
System seems to be nice, smooth and responsive. Very nice upgrade.

Of course.
Upgrade process should look like this:
- create a backup!!!
- wipe system, cache, dalvik
- flash los 16
- flash open gapps for pie (i use Pico)
- optional: flash your root solution (I use magisk)
- sign boot
- reboot

How can I have expanded notifications guys? Is the option removed?

Hey dude, thanks for your great work, everything's working fine, but I have a problem when try to screen mirroring to my tv because every time I do the tablet crash and restart... Can you fix it please? In lineage 15 doesn't have that problem. Thanks in advance.

Man, you are a legend!! Working great!! Thankyou sooooo much!
In regards to vibration not working... Mine is working but it is very light when say pressing home button. Working but much lighter vibration than before.
I use Gboard so I can just increase that vibration fine.
Thanks again!!

Thanks for the update, works very well for me

Is there any Dolby Atmos mod that works?

Guys, can you find "ambient display"? There's no option in Setings> Display, but if you search in Settings, 2 results appear with no use unfortunately

There's a LiveDisplay in settings. I think it's the same thing.

Well, I just want to have the display turned on when a notification arrives.
LiveDisplay is Day/Night color tweak etc... Ambient Display is that option to have the display turned on when notifications arrive/ when you pick up the tablet etc.
The weird thing is that if you use search in settings, you can see that the option is there somewhere. But when you tap it you go nowhere

Ah sorry. I've never used Ambiend display before and I tought that they might be the same thing.
Same bug with Rotate lockscreen.
If anyone find a Google Camera app that works, please post it in the topic. Thanks

Thanks for bringing Pie to the Tab 3 8 Plus

I noticed that not all notifications from twitter appear with this ROM comparing with 15.1... So I thought I could return to 15.1 by wiping Cache/ Dalvik/ System and flashing the Oreo ROM + Gapps. Unfortunately Android started booting but ended up in TWRP. Most probably full wipe is needed.
So I decided to flash Pie again! I wiped cache/ dalvik/ system, flashed LOS 16 + Gapps, rebooted.. this time it booted to Android normally, but now I have no notifications from any app at all! Yikes! Any clues guys?

Good morning.
Thanks for all.
I have a problem. I installed the new LineageOS 16.0 but the wifi does not activate. When active it is deactivated by itself. Thanks for your help.

nice work :good:
Nice to see this ROM here on XDA. Very good job! Running it for a day now and cannot find any problems with it (except notification LED and backlight sometimes too dark)
Battery life is very good. Light and Deep doze (deviceidle) are working good.
For a first release this is very good!
Is it possible to add cpu hotplug to the kernel, and cpu underclock?
Add core_ctl ?
Looking at msm_performance.c (also hotplug capable?) it looks like the CONFIG_MSM_PERFORMANCE_HOTPLUG_ON flag is not defined.
No big deal.
Cheers
Great news and great job !
For what concern stability and battery life the are no issues (until now) ?
Sent from Huawei Nova Titanium
Brilliant find with the test key. Great work on the ROM. Thanks
Some bug: if the screen locks I can't unlock it again without restarting. The lock button doesn't light up the display, I can use the volume keys to lighten it up but if I try using the touchscreen the display goes dark. Just one touch and it goes dark.
edit: the touchscreen responds while the display is dark, for example I pull the status bar down, and then the display lights up and I can enter settings, enable/disable wifi etc.., but once I go to the home screen the display goes dark.
edit2: found the problem. Changing the wallpaper to something that's not in the rom by default.
edit3: problem went away after installing 28-05 firmware version.
We appreciate yoyr job. Keep up
Does everybody knows which gaps should we use?

hi there the rom working with default kernel?
@highwaystar_ru
Notification led in 2018-05-28 build is working, but only if not charging or charge led is disabled in settings. If charging led is enabled it doesn't blink anymore when charging.
Would this run on a Tab 3 8 non-plus? If not are there any roms out there for such device? Or anything in general to make it faster? Thank you.

No. Lenovo Tab 3 8 is completely different device Mediatek based while this is Snapdragon 625
OpenVPN client problem. No data goes through vpn.
If anyone misses the dolby atmos app, you can install it from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/soundmod-axon-7-dolby-atmos-t3412342 - Lenovo A7000 [6.5] Atmos (1.1.4)
I firstly removed the Audio FX app with adb and then installed dolby .zip via twrp.
I've tested it with VLC, Newpipe and built-in music player.
Code:
pm uninstall --user 0 org.cyanogenmod.audiofx
Having trouble getting it to work on mine (wifi model - 8703F)
TWRP went on fine (and thankfully I took a backup at that point!), then I install the latest version (lineage-14.1-20180528-UNOFFICIAL-TB8703.zip) and run RM Forceencrypt and reboot. It shows the Lineage progress bar for around a minute, then just turns off.
Tried with and without forceencrypt, restored from backup and then tried again but no luck... Going to go back to the official ROM for now, but if anybody has any pointers for the next time I try it that'd be great.
Kudos to highwaystar_ru for all of the hard work!

Which wipes did you do before installing?
Well, this rom is fantastic. I've tried a few over the years and never has one made such a difference. The stock rom must have been an enormous pile of **** lol. I mean how do they go through so many firmware iterations and still leave simple problems unaddressed. Anyway, I digress...
On a couple of webpages I noticed slow loading in Chrome eg https://www.gearbest.com/laptops-c_11964/
So I ran a logcat which picked up some interesting errors which might be worth looking at even if they're unrelated

Thought that I only did cache and data, but I guess I must've selected something else... Wireless is totally broken on it now after restoring ^_^
Going to do a full recovery now and start from the beginning (and pay a lot more attention this time!)

One bug I found on LOS 14.1, please look at topic from LOS 14.1, and you will see.
8703F
Hotspot doesn't work. I can turn it on but my computer and phone don't see the network; if I turn it on-off-on it causes the tablet to crash into a soft restart. It will then show 'Error'. There is no 5GHZ option when creating a hotspot. I posted this in the other thread aswell.
System/Buttons/Show arrow keys while typing doesn't work in landscape mode. They will appear in the middle of the navigation bar on top of the circle and will make the nav bar unusable.
I don't know if this is a feature, but in landscape mode if I swipe from the right end of the screen towards the center the status bar drops down.
boom! Legend! Thankyou SO much!
@highwaystar_ru has twrp been updated in OP?
I have twrp-tb8703-3.2.1-bootsign.img and cannot mount SD card
Awesome! Can't wait to flash this, gonna be so much better than Lenovo's bloatstock (and more up to date than my phone's LineageOS, to boot)
Lineage 15.1 updated
2018-08-18
Fixed MAC and long time to enable Wifi
Fixed MAC and long time to enable Bluetooth
Fixed calling with BT headset
Fixed Buttons settings
Partially fixed LED
Awesome! Thanks for the great effort!
LOS15.1 works perfectly:good: (18/8 version)
The only problem which I can find is gapp camera's shutter button shift down to the home button bar, half of the shutter button is hided.:fingers-crossed:
I get
"updater process ended with ERROR: 7
Error installing zip file "xxxxxxxxxx"
I was coming from the your 14.1 ROM - latest update from August. did a full wipe beforehand... made no difference.
Tried to dowload the file from both g-drive and mailru .. same result..
any ideas?

sign boot from twrp
lineage 15.1 for lenovo yoga tab 3 plus please
I finally install Lineage OS in My Tablet. I try to install gapps version 8.1.0 ARM 64 from opengapps and then sign the boot partition after flash the gapps. System boots normally but gapps crashes constantly. Any gapps working? Or any information about how to install correctly gapps. Thanks.
**Update**
I just Wipe Data and then sign boot again. Then I configure my device and Now is Working with the Whole Google Apps and is now Android 8.1.0. Thanks for the developer for the Rom
Thanks a lot for your work on this ROM!
I've had exactly same experience with gapps crashing (MindTheGapps-8.1.0-arm64-20180223_195845.zip) as maikalex96 above. Wipe fixed the problem. Not feeling adventurous enough to try Open gapps yet.
good:
usual stuff works
WiFi 5GHz works
WiDi / Miracast, Chromecast works
Apk installations/updates are lightning fast compared to 6.0.1 stock
not so good:
bluetooth (albeit disabled) drains battery like crazy in standby - either that or andriod battery stats are not working right (WLAN, display items are not even listed)
no Dolby Atmos in LOS
some useful features removed in Oreo (google seem to be dumbing the system down) - no more WiFi band option (2.4/5), no more WiFi in standby option (on, off, charger on)
not a fan of some Oreo or LOS aesthetics
sound is not routed back to speakers after disconnecting headphones (not always)
not sure about performance, stock 6.0.1 might be a tad more responsive (touch, scrolling)
untested:
phone, lte data
sd card
That's on tb8703x.

*** Update****
So I just realised I hadn't updated TWRP to the new boot-signed version.
It won't let me do flash that via fastboot as it says " FAILED (remote: Partition flashing is not allowed " - I assume this is because my bootloader is not unlocked.
I did try using 'fasboot oem unlock" but that does not work.
I tried to use QFIL to flash the updated TWRP but it won't recognise the device on any port as obviously it is not going into stock recovery when - it is going into TWRP...
Any other ideas?
Any help is most appreciated - many thanks in advance.
*******Update #2*****
Thanks to WBN1 as below, all sorted and installed - many thanks!
Will let you know how it goes!
Many thanks again for all your hard work!
flash the updated twrp from within the old twrp. you need to tap on image when flashing so it can see the twrp.img file

Doh!! Lol.. I did try doing it through TWRP but didn't select image as you say!! What a doofus I am !!
Thankyou soooo much!!
Hey there, great ROM! Everything works good here. I only have one question, not directly about the ROM itself... but does anyone know if there is a version of the LOS 14.1 Trebuchet Launcher for using under LOS 15.1 ? I realy hate that new Launcher!
@highwaystar_ru i will try 3 things if i find some free time and sorry i didn't jump sooner on board.
1. Port AOSP Extended to this beauty https://www.aospextended.com/
2. Try to get an official xda forum for this tablet
3. Help you out with PR's in developing.
Great job you have done so far kudos mate.
Congratulations on the job.
any way to use otg and power at the same time? want to use the tablet in the car you need to have the power connected as well as the easycam with the recoil camera
thanks a lot

LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed.

All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit out Gerrit Code Review. You can also view the Changelog for a full list of changes & features.
What's special about my build:
Sometimes I pick a few patches from the Lineage Gerrit before they are approved and merged into our trees.
The kernel is based on Lineage's one, but I have upstreamed with the latest patches from linux-stable, added a few things such as performance and battery tweaks, security and stability fixes, SafetyNet spoofing, additional kernel controls.... This kind of things
The device trees will also be improved overtime with various improvements from mixed sources (for example better presets, different HAL solutions and so on).
Added Auto FaceUnlock (Nano+ Gapps required to be flashed to get it work)

RIL (Calls, SMS, Data)

Taking pictures and shooting videos work either with the stock camera and the moto_camera_mod 6.2.14.4, good job.
If you're interested i've noticed that so far if you connect the phone to the pc you cannot transfer media but just charge it.
Hope it helps

Looks like an amazing Rom! Flashed it, but it seems unable to boot if the device is already encrypted... After showing the Lineage logo, if asks for a pin to drecrypt, although I used a pattern for encryption. If I wait for just a few seconds, the device shuts down automatically (showing the android "shutting down" window, and reboots to TWRP.
Maybe you can have a look into this? If I can provide a log or helping info, tell me
Moto G turbo {merlin} is neglected........
My device restarts constantly after a while of use.
Thank you for your awesome rom.

My rom is not working. I was using pixel experience on twrp 3.0 0 when i tried to flash it it showed error 7. So i tried to install the given recovery and twrp 3.2.3 but both didn't boot. My phone just goes black after pressing recovery mode and my cmd shows bootloader has slot dunno why. Could you help?

Did you follow the installation guide in TWRP 3.2.3 post? My recovery is based on 3.2.3 by squid2 with small modification. I guess the problem is related to the 3.2.3 recovery. Please ask in TWRP 3.2.3 post.
ROM is working fine but can not play mp3 music. I tested on Pulsar, google play music and native music player, on MX player worked.

I can't replicate the issue. I googled for a short mp3 http://www.largesound.com/ashborytour/sound/brobob.mp3
And it plays okay with default music app
I tried the short mp3 and it plays normally, You can try search for "OpenBSD 6.1 winter of 95" it is a free song, I can't post links, sorry . I have noticed that mp3 on SDcard gives me this error "java.lang.IllegalStateExeception: songs cannot play, the media format may not be supported". and if the song is on internal storage the time runs but no sound.
.MP3 file playback error in most MP3 players
I also have problems with .MP3 file playback with this ROM. The built-in equaliser is not working for me but I use viper4android and it's working fine when I stream music. VoLTE is not working.
Overall a great ROM and really appreciate your work. Finally we have a pie ROM for our Moto G Turbo Merlin.

Special TWRP build
To install and boot any custom roms and to boot it after installing mods that change boot partitition like Magisk please use this TWRP:
2018-08-25
Fixed long time to wakeup screen in TWRP
Added NTFS filesystem for sdcards
mailru: twrp-tb8703-3.2.1-20180825-bootsign.img
gdrive: twrp-tb8703-3.2.1-20180825-bootsign.img
Previous version
[*] Первая версия
mailru: twrp-tb8703-3.2.1-bootsign.img
gdrive: twrp-tb8703-3.2.1-bootsign.img
This TWRP build has special function Sign boot which you have to click after install new version of ROM or mod like Magisk. It will append stock boot signature to your boot partition. This allows to boot with locked bootloader.
TWRP with Boot Sign function screenshots:
Fortunately you dont need to unlock bootloader, because not every Lenovo tab can be unlocked. Custom kernel and ROM can be runned by appending boot.sig signature extracted from stock rom to boot.img like
Code:
cat boot.img boot.sig > boot-signed.img
It still cant be loaded by fastboot, but you always can flash it from TWRP. You can get boot.sig in my repo https://github.com/HighwayStar/android_device_lenovo_TB8703/blob/cm-14.1/twrp/recovery/root/boot.sig

Just installed it. Upon boot, a message poped up saying there's an internal error in the device, and that I should contact the maker (Lenovo). The message appeared once more before setup. Let's see how it goes now. Has someone else experienced this?
Installed over LOS16, I added GApps and Magisk. Everything is working fine, so far.
Inviato dal mio Lenovo TB-8703X utilizzando Tapatalk
Same error message for me. Upgraded from 16.
Installed Rom, gapps, magisk.
But then it's working. But performance seems worse compared to 16. I will give the system a little bit to settle down and check performance again.
Thanks for bringing Android Q to the Tab 3 8 Plus! Going to try it out later today

I had 15, 16 didn't work for me. But I did a factory reset, and then installed. Everything seems fine now, but performance appears to be worse off.

Just installed it. Upon boot, a message poped up saying there's an internal error in the device, and that I should contact the maker (Lenovo). The message appeared once more before setup. Let's see how it goes now. Has someone else experienced this?

I had the same, but the tablet seems to work great.
BTW. The error message appears on every boot for me. I also did a clean flash with factory reset.
Otherwise I can tell that a clean flash helped for most of the problems. When I upgraded from 16 I had visual glitches and system ui freezing sometimes. These problems are completely gone after doing the clean flash. Only thing that remains is the error message. But this message does not seem to effect the daily work.
Back to lineage 16
Big drain battery in 17
The system always stuck when using recorder

Please upload files from /sys/fs/pstore from recovery after such reboot. There is seems to be some issue with wifi version, I only have LTE version to test, so any log will be appreceated.
