After a bit of a struggle I managed to get this installed and working last night :)

A few things I noticed:

1) It may have been previously unlocked by the ebay seller I got it from. The official unlocker I got from http://en.miui.com/unlock/ (https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/miui-10-0-10-1-10-2-stable-release.47170/ has other details) had issues, finally got it, at one point in time, to say unlocked even though all 3 steps didn't have any checkboxes next to them... Strange, but I finally looked at the fastboot_unlock binary that came with the unlocker exe, and that indicated it was unlocked.

2) I found 3 different TWRP to try and install, with 2 of them (I _think_ the one linked here, and the one linked at the EU community thread above) kept giving me "too large to transfer". I finally got the one linked above by the following process:
  1. start powered off
  2. hold power + vol down to get to Fastboot
  3. fastboot devices
  4. fastboot -s <DEVICE ID> flash recovery recovery.img
  5. At this point, the screen went black except for at the upper right it said "press any button to power off", and fastboot exe is saying "waiting for <DEVICE ID>"
  6. press a button, device powers off, leave it connected to the computer
  7. hold power + vol down to get to Fastboot, fastboot exe should see the device and now do it's thing to send/flash the recovery.img
  8. after fastboot finishes, do fastboot boot recovery.img
  9. should now boot to TWRP, should be able to tap a button/screen to get into it

3) I also found I needed to perform a device wipe/reset from within TWRP before copying the LOS and OpenGAPPs zip files over. First time I tried it without wiping it had some weird install/configuration left and caused major issues upon booting LOS. Seemed to think it wasn't a fresh install, and had most of the apps keep crashing and restarting.

Hi Tom.

On one of your screenshots the lock screen says “charging rapidly”. I thought the pad 4 plus doesn’t support this function. Is it now possible with this version of LineageOS?

@tom.android:

I tried LOS 17, but it was not running well on my Pad 4 Plus.

So I switched to this one here and LOS 16 so far runs well.

Though I have a problem with auto brightness which is not working properly. Once activated it doesnt have any effect and from time to time it just lowers brightness to the lowest point.

From your LOS 17 post I grabbed the auto brightness fix and flashed it, but it didnt work for LOS 16. Is there another fix you know about?

Also from time to time the tablet wakes up without me using it and not going to sleep again. This results into the device being display on all night long. Really annoying :(
