You have to had TWRP installed from this thread TWRP and ROOT for Tab 4 8/10 (Plus) (TB-8704X/F/V,TB-X704L/F, TB-8504X/F, TB-X304L/F)
In TWRP clean Data if you coming from stock ROM and do Install of this ROM. If you have android 8 stock rom installed you have to format Data with data loss, because used encryption is incompatible with android 7.1

This is technical build, just to test all of hardware works fine with open source kernel. Lenovo shared kernel source was incomplete and I had to make dts code from scratch. Please report if anything hardware related broken. Also I have on TB-8704X to test, reports about how it works on TB-8704F and TB-8704V are welcome.

This is great - thank you @highwaystar_ru for your work. I'll test it on my TB-8704X today. Are there plans on upgrading to LineageOS 15.1 or even 16?

Yes, I'm planning to integrate it with https://github.com/lenovo-devs and build Lineage 16.0 soon. There will be not many updates on 14.1, I will upload one updated build today, found that current is incompatible with linked twrp (I tested it only with my own twrp build).

Cheers dev. Seen other models getting LOS and felt a little disheartened, you've now changed that

No, the device is not certified. I am still using Netflix though.

This is awesome. Thanks so much! Only question is do I flash now or wait a few weeks for 15 or 16? ?

Awesome - Thanks. I was stuck on 7.1 anyway as the lenovo Oreo was really bad, I went back to 7.1. Now I'm in a better place, routed and no bloat. Thanks, looking forward to 16!

You are a hero, we all thought this device was dead.

Having issues with two apps: Rotation app not working with YouTube and Adaway freezes when building host files, forced to used power button to restart tablet.
Everything else is working.
Thanks for supporting this tablet model.

The rom goes very fast, the only thing that is really annoying is that when making or receiving calls the call interface does not appear, is there any way to solve this problem?

* I am not responsible for what may happen to your device, it is simply a solution that worked for me *
I found a solution for this problem the problem was in the NikGApps the shortest solution is:
1
Flash the rom first then reboot
2
Boot up, set the device normally and turn it off
3
Start recovey and flash NikGApps ( preferably the latest Canary version:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/nikgapps/files/Canary-Releases/NikGapps-R/03-Feb-2021/ )
4
Reboot.

I recommend you to make a clean install, but you can try dirty. As for stability: almost everything is stable, but I would not recommend it if stability is critical.

So, everyone writes that even if the ROM has easily discoverable bugs, BUT, how stable is this ROM? I'm trying to find a good one for a daily driver that won't let me down in an emergency but so far it seems that all the ones I've seen are either a beta or have obvious bugs even though they're called "official" The only one I would potentially end up on is MIUI.

Can it be used as daily Driver?

Netflix and other apps thar block rooted phones are working fine?

Hi, I was using LOS 17.1 for MicroG without any issues but recently upgraded to LOS18.1 for MicroG (downloaded from lineage.microg.org and verified the download). Everything works well except for the camera. Out of the box camera app freezes frequently and then I tried Open Camera and a another camera app. Open Camera is a bit stable but still freezes regularly. Problem is worse when the camera app is being called by other apps.
I note that this has been reported in LOS forum but wondering whether there is a quick work around for this problem.
Many thanks.

Hi, actually this is the wrong thread to post it.
But your solution is to replace new cam blobs with oldcam blobs and flash a kernel that is made for oldcam blobs.
I am attaching the oldcam blobs file for los that can be flashed through recovery. But note that you must change the kernel afterwards that supports oldcam. Otherwise camera will not work at all.

Thanks very much for the response. From what you are saying, I feel it may be easier to just downgrade to LOS17.1 which I was using before? I guess the other option I have is to wait for the next update to see whether the issue will be fixed in that release.
Thanks for your suggestion and clarification.

i am also using los Q because i find it the most stable one. I m using loscam patch in Q as well for better video quality although.
And the camera issue wont get fixed until and unless someone takes over the development of los. currently it has no maintainer and tge builds we get are automated with los source side changes, not device side changes.

@Walden0, I thought I might give your suggestion a try before downgrading to 17.1 version. Can you please clarify the following?
1. To add the old camera blob, I could install this zip via Yellowfox Recovery?
2. How can I find out which kernel will support this oldcam blob?
Many thanks.

I have never heard of yellowfox recovery but if its based on twrp then most likely it should be able to flash the zip. (maybe you mean orangefox, if yes then you can flash)
The kernel should have "oldcam" or "old" in its name.

Just being color blind!!...of course, it is Orange Fox Recovery!!
Interestingly, after I did my post, I just opened Settings->Apps->Camera and pressed 'force stop'. Then I started Open Camera which is what I normally use and so far it appears to be behaving OK. I tried a few still shots and one or two short videos - no freezing as yet but it is too early to know. I will keep testing over the next couple of days and see how it goes.
Thanks for your prompt response.

Just to report that the work around by disabling the Camera app so far have fixed the problem.
Any one who has the same problem may want to try out the following steps;
1. Go to Settings->Apps->Camera->Force Stop
2. Then use an installed app such as Open Camera
Note this is not a permanent solution but a work around and this has to be done each time the phone is rebooted.
EDIT: updated to 6 Dec 21 version and the camera behaves even worse than with the initial install! The above fix does not work anymore although it worked most of the time with the November update.

This ROM was abandoned, pitty, much more polished than official https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...8-1-for-redmi-note-7-lavender.4381893/page-10.
But both suffer from the same issue: no Mass Storage Gadget so that UMS can work to make memory as USB drive.

Thank you @LumenReaper for this build!
I can confirm fingerprint is not working, but this is no bigger issue to me.
Flashed Magisk and changed fingerprint two times. But safetynet is still failing - no idea. My sim card is also not detected.
I use the tablet for youtube and yatse mostly. Youtube Vanced workes fine and my Bose headphones are also connected and working.

Looking forward to this ROM thank you.

Thanks for installing. Glad to hear you're getting along with the current feature set. I should have mentioned that my tablet has WiFi only. Feel free to send me a log if you want, but I expect it will be difficult to fix it without the device itself.
Personally, I have not had any problems with failing safetynet. In which situation does it cause you problems?
Will continue with the fingerprint scanner as soon as I have time again.

You' re welcome.

First I want to thank @LumenReaper for the efforts to keeping our tablets up to date.
Is this ROM stable enough to use it daily or can I better wait?

I do not see any issues with failing safetynet so far. It was working in 17.1 so I just wondered about the error after changing the fingerprint of the device by the help of magisk.
I will try to build the rom on my own with your sources - hopefully I can help with the non working SIM card.

If you need a SIM card , fingerprint or camera then you need to wait. For normal multimedia usage I call it stable enough.

That won't matter for me, I'll flash the ROM and patiently wait until those work on the new ROM.

Sounds great. Let me know if you run into any issues with building.

Do you think this wll also work for the TB-X705F, the successor model?

I've installed this ROM but one thing I noticed is that the internal storage and the contents in it aren't visible at all on MiXplorer Silver (The file manager I use)
It isn't visible at the default file manager too so I rolled back to Lineage OS 17.1
I would appreciate if this is fixed @LumenReaper

I cannot confirm this problem. The default files app shows me the internal storage and an SD card with content. If I would have had such a serious problem, I would not have published the rom yet.

I have not found a link to the code in that thread, but I expect the rom not to work when you need a different TWRP.

Great work Lumenreaper! (now I need to find the courage to install it on the only operational tablet that I own )
I did manage to build it myself using Docker & the docker lineeage-ci-cd image (see https://github.com/lineageos4microg/docker-lineage-cicd )

Hello,
LumenReaper!​
Thanx for your work, sir!
Tell me, please - Lineage OS 18.1 made on Android 11.0?
There is no word about it in first topic of this thread.
If Yes, where can i find Google Apps package for it?
Asking , because at https://opengapps.org/ there is nothing for Android 11
Thank you

Who is this @tarkzim? Superman! That's who!
Thank you so much!

Amazed by your determination to keep MAX UpToDate !
Wish you the happiness you deserve

Thank you so much for keeping this phone alive!

@tarkzim noticed that Google Play Store (nikgapps) do not seem to always properly detect the device is connected through WiFi. Like it is waiting for a mobile connection?
Tried various access points.

The source link of los19, tree kernel and vendor pls share

You should just grant it a network use or something like that from an app info page, had the same issue but it solved it

Thank you. I will check that tonight. I remember that from earlier days now that you mentioned it. Thank you for taking the time to respond. Love this device.

It may be my old 2/16 GB device and it's low performance, but the YouTube app seems to not load videos, and when it does, it's taking an eternity, so I'm trying to understand if it's just my device, or anyone else has this issue. Connection is good btw, the app used to perform better on LOS 18.1

just curious if your YouTube videos play any better through a browser? That will help narrow things down.

Black loading screen, just like the app, tho, sometimes loads instantly, maybe like 1 out of 10 times

I'm wondering if it's because I've set my SD card as my internal storage, which is usually slow, and the app tries to buffer the video onto it, but I doubt it's actually because of it, just my thoughts

Could it be the network you're on?
You could try clearing browser's and app's cache, and maybe data too with app.

Try on another network, or set device back to defaults using original storage location?
Not sure what is happening there. I expected YouTube through the browser to play fine.

Does yours work alright tho? I'll test it all in the next updates, pretty sure I'm going to be factory resetting (wiping) my device anyways

Amazed to see this, never expected this device to be on the latest Android version at all.
Thanks for this, I'll flash and would let you know.

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 13 (t), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

FAQ
Help my sim doesn't work
Please read the installation instructions more carefully. Oreo firmware bootloader and modem is a must.
You can find the collection along with the guide in this xda thread.
I'm sometimes having crackling sound when listening to music
Turn off 'ok google now' functionality in google app settings. If you have troubles finding it you can as well go to settings>apps, find app called 'google' and disable microphone permission.
Does this rom support VoLTE?
No. And it likely won't in the near future. Samsung's exynos VoLTE implementation is proprietary and non-standard. It is not possible on AOSP based roms for the time being.
I have weird issues with camera (wrong resolution, issues with flash etc.)
Тhis could very well be an issue with the included camera app. Try a third party camera app.
Will you fix the bugs? Will this version ever go official?
I've already fixed everything I was able to. The main drawback is that our linux kernel 3.18 has become too old. Our devices starting showing their age. Because of this version will not go official.
My hardware keys light up whenever I touch the screen
Navigate to Settings->System->Buttons->Backlight and tick 'Illuminate buttons only when pressed'. You might want to reduce time on the scaler to 1 second, too.
How to switch to full screen gestures
1. Navigate to Settings->System->Buttons->Backlight and tick 'Enable on-screen nav bar'.
2. Navigate to Settings->System->Gestures->System navigation and tick 'Gesture navigation'.
I need help with google camera
Please see this xda post.
Help! I have problems with my bank app/my device is failing SafetyNet.
Try following this guide by Simon1511.

Nice to see this out, great work

Great job as always.

im glad there's still hope for a little bit of support for our rusty device
i know this is pretty ridiculous at this point but i really hope this become another galaxy s2 situation where despite how old the device is.. it still get more and more versions despite its age

Yea, but the S2 is more of a tinkerers device at this point, A5 is still usuable (at least on A11, broke my screen before I could test 12 :C)

Possible update with simple TWRP install (wo delete data) from 19.1 Unofficial? (I think yes.)

Very nice rom ....smoot and stable

Which one is better LineageOS 19 or LineageOS 20? Which one is more stable for daily use? Or is just LineageOS 18 stable enough for daily use for now?

How is the battery consumption?How is the camera?

I also think yes, but no one has tested this already. Note that you would surely need to reflash the same gapps package you were using before right after the new version flash.

I can't tell this for certain. It totally depends on your usecase and preferences. There aren't any unresolved bugs coming from previous versions (other than mentioned). Some people say however that the rom runs slower than the previous versions, especially with gapps. For me personally it was still ok.

Not worse than before with lineage at least. For what it's worth, there is actually a new lineage camera app now. And we were getting some good battery life results during the testing.

thanks for the update.

the gapps is not available for Android 13. Does it have Google apps?

What does Network traffic monitoring do? I switch off Mobile data and WIFI for many apps in the app settings. Without Network traffic monitoring, does it mean that separate app Mobile data and WIFI switching off will not work reliably? Or is it completely unrelated?

I focused mainly on fixing rom bugs, so I haven't had much time to investigate the google apps situation.
But yeah they exist. They can be found using the link in the thread.
Flamegapps, Nikgapps and perhaps a several others are there for android 13 already.

I believe that is unrelated. It is literally broken monitoring.

network monitor does not work

backup doesn't work properly

why is the battery mah 3600?

nikgapps go doesn't work properly

issues :
using qr scan notification panel causes settings to crash, HDCP checking causes minor lag, SRGB doesn't work , network monitor does not work, nikgapps go doesn't work properly, backup doesn't work properly
