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.

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.

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

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)

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

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

How to install
To install this you have to install TWRP using by QFIL utility, follow this instruction: https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/twrp-lenovo-p8-tb-8703f-tb-8703x-t3689442/post76277192
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

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

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.

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

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.

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
TB-8704V (Verizon)
If you have TB-8704V tablet, you have to additionaly flash boot.img from link above after rom intsallation. This tablet has some hardware differences from x and f and requires custom kernel to work,

Gapps
Are gapps included in rom
There is no gapps in the rom, you have to download it from opengapps.org if needed.
There are reports about bootloop on wifi version of tablet (LTE version works fine), I will upload fixed version tomorrow.
I'm syncing up the sources on my ROM Kitchen now
What are the install steps if I have lineage 16 already installed. i.e. sufficient to use the existing TWRP. Can I have Dirty flash? etc

Full wipe and reinstall for a major version number release like this, I believe. Dirty flash will almost certainly fail. Your existing TWRP should suffice, but you'll need to reflash gapps when you install los17.1
I've uploaded new version, this should resolve issue with 8704f, please try and report if it works or not. Full adb logcat output on boot are welcome too.

Fixed issue running on 8704F (WiFi version)
I has no removing telephony apps after installation on WiFi only tablet.
Branch: lineage-17.1
Hi @highwaystar_ru - if I want to run some tests using your sources which branch should I be syncing to? lineage-17.1 for all of them right?
So far, working very well. No crashes or hangs, everything fast and smooth. Two things that don't work are DT2W but this was already known. The other is USB hubs do not work at all. They do not work on LOS 16 either but they do work on LOS14. A fix for this would be greatly appreciated.
Great work other than that as usual highwaystar.

I just did a clean install of the latest version (lineage-17.1-20200601-UNOFFICIAL-TB8704.zip) and noted that, although I'm on tb8704f, I can still see the "Messaging" app, which wasn't there when I wasn on 16. Looking at the code highlighted in the github link above I wouldn't expect to see Messaging on my device. I was also asked if I wanted to configure a SIM during the first boot and setup.
I rebooted to TWRP, wiped Dalvik, system, data and cache, pushed lineageos and opengapp (full) zips, then installed and rebooted.

I Tried this rom , I would say it is the best rom available because A10 .
I would recommend this rom for sure , it is very stable , everything works just fine !!
It has been 4-5 hrs since i flashed and have gone through every setting in the rom and found no bug ! (except double tap to wake does not work)
Love you developer for your work ♥
Great job, thanks to the author. Everything works really well.
Thanks a lot for the ROM and all your hard work..
you are keeping the tab alive..
@highwaystar_ru just curious to know, if u have merged some changes from the source code that lenovo released lately..
Does this work on the tab4 10??
Review after 20 days.
The ROM is smoother than LOS16.
Idle drain has reduced a lot.
Few minor bugs (in bt and few apps) that were in LOS16 are also fixed.
Best rom that keeps my tab good as new.
Thanks a lot...

I can't get it to flash. TWRP has been sitting for hours at:
Unmounting System...
Target: Lenovo/LenovoTB-X304:/X304L:8.1.0/0PM1.171019029/S001017_190709_ROW:user/release-keys
EDIT: Fixed by flashing TWRP instead of just booting it. The steps I followed were:
Install the Lenovo Driver from here
Install fastboot and adb on your PC, e.g. from here
Enable developer options and in there select to unlock your bootloader by enabling OEM unlock and enable USB debugging
Connect your PC to your tablet and run
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
using adb on command line. The tablet will reboot into bootloader mode where you will only see the text on the screen. Now you use
Code:
fastboot oem unlock-go
to unlock. This will factory reset your device
Setup the tablet again, enable USB debugging, and reboot again to the bootloader
Download tbx304-twrp-3.4.0-20201207.img (TWRP) from the OP
Then run
Code:
fastboot boot tbx304-twrp-3.4.0-20201207.img
to temporarily boot into TWRP.
Select to keep system read only when TWRP starts to avoid modification which will make OTAs impossible
In TWRP, go to WIPE, click on "Format Data" in the lower right, and follow the instructions.
Go back to the TWRP home screen, choose "Reboot", and click "Recovery"
In TWRP, go to the Backup tab, and backup the boot, recovery, and system image. Keep this backup for OTA updates.
Go back to the TWRP home screen, hit the reboot button in TWRP, and choose "Bootloader".
Then run
Code:
fastboot flash recovery tbx304-twrp-3.4.0-20201207.img
to permanently install TWRP.
Once installed, press the volume button until it says "Recovery Mode" in red letters on the top, then hit the power button to boot back into TWRP.
Load the LineageOS zip file from your computer onto the tabled by using
Code:
adb push [NAME_OF_LINEAGE_ZIP_FILE] /sdcard/
. If you are going to install gapps (Google Play Store, etc.), download it from here and push it to the tablet the same way
From the TWRP home screen, go to Install and install the LineageOS zip file. Once that is completed, repeat the process to install gapps, if you're using them.
Select the option to reboot. If everything worked correctly, it should boot into LineageOS.
This says tab4 8... Does this work for the tab4 10 model tb-x304f ?

Maybe it's a typo...
I am using this on x304f (wifi only) tab. It's smooth and stable

Hey so I sent you a private message
Thank you for this amazing rom. Working perfectly in my Lenovo Tab4 10 TB-X304L and also call and everything is working but call are not that stable....anyway thank you very much.
Amazing ROM so far. Thank you very much for working on custom roms for our old tablet.
Has anyone experienced issues with the Dual Shock 4? It doesn't work at all. In the previous ROM (16) there was a known kernel issue which prevented the mapping from working. Now, it is connecting (even tried with an USB cable OTG) but only for charging. Weird. An old Afterglow X1 works like a charm, though---without even using 1Controller addon for Magisk.
Any help is appreciated.
On X304L working very well Great work

Wasted lots of time until I found your reply - installed this on a 4 10, works like a charm. Thanks @highwaystar_ru and @ahecht! You rock!
Is there a chance we will see 18.1 on these devices soon, and maybe have them officially supported?
Any way I can help?
I've got decades of Linux experience, but not as a dev, and flashing Android devices is rather new for me...
Hello
I have installed the 17.1 rom but I am stuck on the first boot at the LOS boot logo (6 hours..)
Any idea why?
I have a X304X (not very commom but very close to X304L or F)
Thanks
