Yoga Smart Tab - Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus Questions & Answers

Hello,
So I got a Lenovo Smart Tab (yt-x703f) and really want to flash TWRP to it, so I can flash LineageOS rom, but it seems like there's no support for it, or even a subthread on XDA.
(I tried various twrp images)
Anyone got some experience with that tablet and have something working?
Cheers

For some reason this device gets the silent treatment on all fora. I can't figure out why, this could be a great multimedia device with some adjustments. batt life is great as is the sound. Screen is ok ish and the speed needs to be tweaked, but no one is willing to tweak

You can root the device and even flash a GSI on it. Tested myself and everything is working

Not sure if we are talking about the same device but lenovo does not support their mid tier devices with OS updates and would like to install a bloatless OS also pie is really dated and wondering if i will run in to issues with app compatibility. There is also that issue where it won't run HD in netflix because netflix is a static app and can not be removed and reinstalled. Hence bloatware and would love a clean google experience.

Flashing a GSI might help if the device supports Project Treble. Basically any device launched with Android 8 and above should support Project Treble.

Hi, I have a Lenovo Yoga smart tab (YT-X705L) and I want to install a new rom on it. I’m not an IT wizard so I need help with that. Would you find anyone who can give step-by-step instructions from start to finish with download links.
And if you can find experiences on how anything works (which is GSI). Thanks in advance.

[Q] Lenovo Yoga Tablet 8 / 10 Open source, overclocking MT8125

Hi All,
I spotted Yoga Tablet 8 / 10's open source code on the Lenovo Support website.
I would like to overclock the MT8125 processor from 1.2GHz to 1.5GHz. I've tried Framaroot and Master CPU hopping to overclock the CPU. Unfortunately, it doesn't work as it doesn't allow me to change the maximum frequency.
My question is how can I extract the kernel from the open source? I read about flashing a kernel that support overclocking. Is it possible to customize the kernel to support overclocking?

If someone manages to do this, I will be eternally thankful to them, provide a celebratory wallpaper and chant their name all night long. (Well, actually just the first two, but I hope this doesn't discourage any potential devs )
Seriously though: I've been thinking about getting the Yoga, but I really think I don't want the stock ROM. Therefore I would love to see CM ported for it, and I'm willing to help (although not an Android developer, I am a programmer, I know my way around and can help with testing and perhaps some other stuff as well.)

Go for it it's a great tablet and once you get used to stock rom it's not that bad and you can always use go launcher if you want a different look only thing I would improve is the rom and processor speed
Yeah, we just got a Yoga 10 for our office that we won in a contest. As soon as I powered it up, I looked at it, and then went and immediately downloaded Nova launcher, set Nova actions to fast, then I enabled developer options, and and set all animations to .5
It is better now, but I would love to be able to a custom rom on here.

Wow.. thanks for that tip .. makes my yoga so much more bearable to use. If only lenovo had a better screen and stock UI.. they would have had a killer tablet...

I'm looking for the same thing. i would be happy with a near stock android rom even anywhere from 4.1 to 4.4
to get you started though, check out this post i made asking about it. i got some help and got TWRP recovery installed which is kind of a first step, but there are still no roms i can find for it. NANDroid backups can at least be made though so if you want to play around with xposed framework you can restore from a soft brick.

I have a yoga 10 and I am ready to test any custom roms which are (if) available out there. I don't mind bricking the device as I hate the stock ROM
Hi, is this thread limited to Yoga 8 wifi or for 3G versio as well?

No, both , I no longer have this tablet though as it was faulty so sent back

Could we build a custom rom from the sourcecode provided by Lenovo?

Hi,
As the owner of a Nexus device, I am used to regular OS updates with included security patches. Since my Android Lenova Book has not updated yet, I started to look around
to see what could be find on the internets about that. I did not find much, but on the Lenove website I did find the Open Source Code for our Book.
http://support.lenovo.com/nl/nl/products/Tablets/Yoga-Series/YOGA-Book/ZA0V?tabName=Downloads&linkTrack=Mast:SubNav:Supportrivers%20and%20Software|Drivers%20and%20Software&beta=false
After downloading and unzipping it, to me it seems that these are the prop files you need to create a custom / updated rom. Since I am not that savvy on the subject, I only compiled a few roms, It would be nice if somebody could tell me if this is indeed the code that is needed to compile an updated rom and what steps should be taking to make this happen?

I, too, would love to see this happen.
I own the Windows version, but I've been flirting heavily with the idea of dual-booting. The major obstacle at the moment appears to be that Remix and the other x86 android builds don't recognize or support the halo keyboard. I'd love to have a ROM or something I could install to get the proper Android experience.
I'm down for this... providing my Book arrives soon (in AU so it'll take its time). If I find anything, or get enough free time to throw together a custom ROM I'll update. But I can't guarantee the latter (custom ROM from myself) as it will be a big learning experience.

Have you had a look at the current version of Android Lenovo provides? That certainly does support the Halo keyboard.

If you go to this post, I've helped someone in the same boat as yourself. Read through the comments, that should give you a tutorial on how to flash the ROM so that you have Google.

but droid info says
GT- N5100 (kona3gxx)
bootloader N5105JVCMI2

it is galaxy note 8.0 gt n5105. Also it has wifi and lte
Think 5100 is similar.
Install android 7.1.2
I update n5105 from android 4.2.2 to android 7.1.2. Everything seems good. but there is no Samsung application. I install from Google play. But any of them does not work. Especially I want to use snote and spen. But does not work. How can I add samsung applications? İs there anything like Gapps may be called Sapps?
As far as I know, those Samsung applications will work only with Samsung ROMs. They need some proprietary functions not present in third party builds. There is software to use the pen, though. Coto Note comes to mind. Haven't used it for anything but brief testing, though.
Samsung apps mostly works only on Samsung Rom. There are some modded als also for Stock (vanilla) Android.
So if you use that 7.1.2 Rom you must find other apps than Samsung ones. They won't work.

Would you mind sharing the secret to getting that installed? I'm trying to do the same thing, but I can't get past the signature verification error. I'm not sure what to do.
Just got given Samsung GT-N5110, Yikes KitKat lol... Lets not!
Good old Odin, TWRP and now trying this build!
Glad I found this post with useful links, near end of 2021 too!!
Thanks!
This is crazy was asked can I do anything with it was going in Bin! I said wait No! that tablet is old, guy said you can't load much on it because it was old...
Actually really good old tablet, I went from memory and this forum...
I am not at Noob so skipped through a lot and did what I membered!
Same keys as S3, put in Download mode, use Odin to blast bootloader, reboot and quickly press right key combo before official software kicks it out.
Reboot again and see friendly TWRP as your bootloader.
I just saved a not bad old tablet from bin! I gonna keep, so glad for this forum!!!!
My main and only phone is a Samsung Galaxy A10 because it is my only 4G device decided not to mess with it BUT was phone to try with device I was given as tablet... Never push your luck!
I have made a brick before in my time!!!
Happy ending here!!!
Nice to be back!
Yes that old Samsung Note 8 has got new lease of life!
What memories from S3 that good old reflash Boot loader and hit key combo before original bootloader is retained!
Got TWRP going, got my Gapps and root, job done, nice!
WARNING:- Anyone with old Note 8 please don't just jump in! Yes it is possible, don't ask me if your a Noob, don't ask me what is a bootloader, what is Odin, what is TWRP, what is Root?... You can turn your tablet into chopping board! I am playing with Lineage on mine, you playing with Cucumber on yours?
Thankyou awesome links!
Nice Job, last step TWRP root file and enable in Dev Options!
Fully Rooted and enjoying the fact someone is still updating build for patch level.
Old tablet but not that bad once you get rid of KitKat lol!
This guy was going to chuck it out and said to me it will be limited because of old software... He told me dispose of it.... Just showed him now and he asked why did Samsung do this update for you not us, answer is they didn't!
This is why I love Android over Apple!

Walmart ONN Android TV

Been wanting to tinker with this, wondering if anyone has tried yet, if so could you point me in the right direction as Google, and duck duck haven't yielded any results.

Yes it can be unlocked with the standard bootloader unlocking instructions for pixels. We are working on LineageOS for it, currently the repos have already been forked to the primary organization. We are just doing the finishing touches to it before it will go official.

To expand on this there are a few devices that are very similar so they share the common device tree. Google ADT-3 (Deadpool) and Dynalink TV box (Wade) are using the same board. Onn box is a variant of the board used on those with a few features and hardware removed to cut cost presumably. Everything is sharing a common kernel because amlogic has a unified kernel that supports all their soc's.
Unified kernel means this can be easily ported to s912?
Thanks for the info. Will that allow root, and backup using twrp? Software is part of equation, I'm working on a hardware piece to allow more storage, but I have to wait on the more savvy software guys like you to cover the ends I can't. You guys rock!!

Hey folks - I've installed Lineage OS "dopinder" for the Walmart Onn Android TV device. Can't run Netflix on it. Ultimately I want YouTube without ads.
Looks like I will need to run Magisk on this thing.
Can anybody help me run Magisk on the standard OS? It would be nice to have Netflix and also to be able to install some kind of ad-free YouTube. Has anybody done this yet? Anybody working on it?
I'm a noob to all this but if anybody would like to help me, I would love to try and get Magisk working.
For starters, does anybody know where I can get the stock/factory image? I erased mine when I installed Lineage OS on the Onn Android TV UHD device.
Do I need the stock recovery, too?

No need for rooting or flashing a new ROM. You can easily have ad-free youtube with Smart Tube Next. All you *should* need is the SmartTubeNext apk from github, a USB OTG cable with power, a USB stick, and a file explorer from the play store. Navigate to the USB stick and install the apk. Allow sideloading when it asks you. Log in and enjoy. Netflix should be available on the stock ROM.
This is all assuming the USB port on the ONN is OTG capable, which most streaming sticks have.
Hello, do your devices has parental control settings? My 4k box no
Does this work for the onn tv stick?

From my understanding the stick version (for $25) is not OTG capable. The box though (for $30) is OTG capable as I have checked it out myself. You have to use a FAT32 filesystem though otherwise the OS won't read the drive.
it’s now $20 at Walmart. Best value for sure
I'm looking for the universal remote codes for the uhd 4k box.........anyone have those? Thanks.
Does Netflix and Amazon prime still remain fully functional with lineage os or no?
Is there a specific section/thread for developement for this box on here? I just picked one up seems pretty sweet for 20 bucks!

For prime video you can sideload the apk. If you want to see development there’s a lineageOS build in the Google tv section

Development is pretty good on this thread: [UNOFFICIAL] LineageOS 18.1 for Amlogic G12*/SM1 Family Devices. It can get a little confusing due to the mixture of several devices, so you should read pretty much the whole thing.
I'm sticking with rooted stock on the 1st of 2 that I got until Lineage gets a bit more refined. Many thanks/kudos to those in that thread for all they have done and are still working on.
Second one is still pure stock OOB (never setup or connected to the Internet) that I am just experimenting with prior to actually flashing/modifying anything. It is still bootloader locked, yet I can still boot the Lineage recovery (odd). Actually flashing it w/o unlocking is doubtful, but still remains to be seen until I decide to bust it's cherry
Time permitting, I'll post some Onn Walmart (aka dopinder) specific things here if anyone gets lost over there. Just ask.
Happy trails...

Seeking English ROM with gApps for Huawei DRA-AL00 (Y5 2018/Enjoy 8e Youth)

I have a Huawei DRA-AL00 (either called the Y5 2018 or Enjoy 8e Youth depending on which source you believe) currently running Android 8.1 (device details from Droid Info attached).
I am seeking an English language ROM with gApps (or the option to add it). I have already searched the forums and found this thread, however, the ROMs listed seem to just be copies of the stock ROM (or, at least, I can't find any details about them except that they're Android 8.1) I'm worried they'll have the same issues as the factory reset OS that I've already tried. I also searched google generally and found a lot of ROMs for other Huawei phones but none that looked promising for this one... Neither LineageOS nor ArrowOS seem to have an option for this phone. I also don't see a TWRP version that's been specifically tested for this phone, but I'm thinking of trying the one that's recommended for the Y5 2017 or the Enjoy 8 Plus. Of course, that's only relevant if I can find a custom ROM worth using. I'm willing to risk bricking this phone by using a TWRP and ROM that are intended for a different but similar phone, but I'd rather do so with input from someone who's more knowledgeable about phone OSs than me . I'll post the results of any ROMs I try here so others with this phone can have clearer info on what works with it.
Thanks for your help!!
***
Additional info below, not necessary to answer the original question .
For context, I'm a complete newb to flashing custom ROMs on phones. That said, I follow directions just fine and have spent most of today watching and reading tutorials for other Huawei phones (can't find one for this phone specifically...). I've also already tried several different fixes to get this phone functional without replacing the OS, but each new fix keeps raising a new issue or only partially resolving the original one. Hence reverting to the solution that's always served me well on laptops and desktops, replacing the OS.
I have already:
- Factory reset the phone.
- Set the system language to English (this succeeded in getting most of the day-to-day interface to show up in English, but about half of the pop-up messages and the contents of the in-built app store/browser/etc are all still in Chinese...).
- Replaced the keyboard app as it was also still an odd mix of English and Chinese which made typing pretty difficult...
- Tried four different methods to install gPlay on a Huawei phone all of which appeared to be working during install but result in a gPlay app that won't open.
- Tried installing the apps that I need without going through the Play store, however, anything affiliated with google (eg gmail, gmaps) refuses to work. I updated Google Play Services and Google Services Framework APKs to the most recent versions I could find that are Android 8.1 compatible but that didn't fix the issue.
- Disabled as much of the bloatware as I can.
If I can't find a decent ROM for this phone, I'll keep trying to work around its issues using third party apps. However, I'm starting to lose hope in reaching a truly functional solution with the current OS. It'd be sad to give up on this project since it's a quite nice little phone for the very basic functions I need - decent speed and truly epic battery life (nearly a week if I'm not using it much!). At the end of the day though, it only cost me $88 in the first place, so I'd rather risk bricking it by flashing an incompatible ROM than leave it to gather dust in the back of a drawer somewhere .
Hey I have a Huawei DRA-AL00 with English ROM . It comes with Gapps and stuffs but my problem is getting Twrp for it. Can I ask how you got yours?
