LOS 15.1 on M3

Hi. First I want to thank @surdu_petru for his amazing work. Now my Mediapad M3 (BTV-DL09) is powered by LineageOS 15.1 with Magisk. Works very well. Smooth and responsible. Using it couple hours and haven't notice any reboots or freezes.
I miss only bluetooth. Without it I cannot use Denon Heos App for my speaker.
Lack of camera is not an issue for me.

After adding BT full support this ROM may be the best for this (forgotten by Huawei) device. THX

surdu_petru just got camera working on the ROM and is continuing to make progress in other areas as well., Subscribe to his original threads to stay up to date., I believe he is also planning to make a PIE ROM for the device as well ;) Thanks for the reply...

Hello First of all thank you for making this custom rom! I have installed it on my BTV-W09 model and beside the Bluetooth it is just working fine..... But I have an issue with permissions. File managers, galleries etc are denied when trying to access internal storage. Did I miss a step in installing or is this a known issue ? Thanks

Wow, it worked!! Glad that I got the rom installed (almost) flawlessly ! If you checked my other posts on the other guide it didn't go really flawlessly when I was attempting to unlock the device :D
Now I'll play around a little bit to get used to this new lineage territory :)

Thanks to surdu_petru who really worked hard on this... can't believe I'm giving a new life to my Beethoven which was getting completely abandoned from Huawei (last security patch over a year ago if I remember right!)

I can boot fine and all seems to be good, however I just noticed a thing when installing GApps: At the end of the install process, after stating "installation complete", it kinda freezes for half a minute or so and then gives me the error "Updater process ended with signal: 9" (see attached image). I looked it up and it should mean "Killed by the application". Maybe TWRP is seeing that the update process does not terminate and it kills it? I tried both with the last "pico" and "nano" versions (20. August 2020) which I downloaded from https://opengapps.org/.

Anyways, so far so good, can't wait for the update which seems to be coming very soon (no pressure surdu_petru) :)

EDIT:
I just flashed the latest OS update from surdu_petru and with that one, I didn't give me the "signal 9" error at the end of the Open GApps install as I had for the previous version. Great!
