LineageOS 16.0 for Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Plus (YTX703F / YTX703L)

[janforman]

Oh why do you want 16.1? Yes you may add D2TW and exFAT support using these patches.
You may use official LOS release with it - patch can be reverted of course.
But if you use repo sync (with official repos) it will rewrites all modification anyway (while you updating).

Hey @janforman,

First of all many thanks for keeping updating this branch until recently and for those patches.
I am still a bit new to building (building env set up and rolling), repos, git and such, so far all I can do on my own for now is sync and build.
I successfully built a LOS16 for YT-X703F few days ago, but now I would like try adding your patches. I have added your sources in the roomservice.xml file and synced but I hightly doubt this is enough to cherry pick a few patches/commits.
From my readings I think I understood I had to repopick number of the commits I wanted to add.
Is that right?
Also I am unsure, will this apply to all my LOS16 devices or just the YT-X703F?
Now let's say the day after I dont want the patch anymore (or I dont want it for the specific device I am about to build), can I disable them again? How so?
Sorry for my questions, any help would be much appreciated as I am still spinning in the learning curve

Regards,

Hey @janforman !

Many thanks for your reply.
Well I have my reasons for staying on P for now, main being, as long as it works fine for all things I use and I dont have any real reasons to move upward, I am staying there. As a second reason I also want to keep all my devices on the same OS and some are not likely to go next version.
But anyway I also take this as an opportunity to learn things and benefit from all the accumulated knowledge you guys have.
And since most of the dev moved to newer branches, I might be able to build and share mines for those like me who want to remain on P for now, whatever their reasons are.

So about the patches, indeed I had understood every times I would resync with the official LOS repos it would removes the patches. What I am still unsure about is how to apply them after I have synced, I dont care I have to reapply them every times I think. If I understood how things works correctly, and again, I am a bit new to this, forgive me if I make any mistakes, I think I have to repopick each of your patches one by one (unless they are part of a multiple patches package).

Also if I repopick your patches and then want to build for an other device, same LOS branches, will those patches be applied too? Can I disable them in that case scenario without having to repo sync again? Would you mind to elaborate a little for me? As I said sill learning here
Many thanks in advance.

Kind regards!

Yes you may apply patches everytime you resync complete repository.
Patches are for kernel and device tree of Yoga tab3 so nothing else will be affected.

Thank you Quallenauge for the good job. LineageOS 18 runs great. I hope you still keep going with the great work.

But I have a question to everyone. Does anyone else have the problem with a touchscreen that is too sensitive / too responsive? Every time I touch the display too hesitant / too soft, a multiple click is performed. Especially noticeable / annoying with the keyboard or the back button. Clicking too gently leads to the same letter several times or to going back more than just one "page". Does anyone else have the problem and knows a solution?
I have the problem with Lineage OS 16, 17 & 18 but not with the stock ROM.
Thanks.

I have two Tablets one X703l and one y703f. I have no problems with the Touchscreen with any of the available lineage versions ( 16,17 or 18).
Edit: Just now im running 18 from Quallenauge. It works perfect.

Sorry. I just found out that private videos won't open on mobile devices. The url changes to: .....m/v/dOP8W5q/
If you can, switch your browser to open the page as a desktop website. I do not know why. Sorry. I will write to the website support.

 

[Mike-7]

I have now installed microG for the YTX703L. Same problem.
Are there any other ROMs I could test? So far only the SockROM works without touch problems.

I reuploaded the video. Now it plays on mobile devices too.

Can anybody send me a download link for this file, please:

lineage-16.0-20210213-nightly-YTX703F-signed.zip

I can't seem to find it on the internet anymore ...

That's the only one I managed to get before they took the device support down.
Sadly I got around a bit late since I had my hands on this device after they dropped it....

But unfortunately this built does not seem to be working at all. Attempting to install it result in a bootloop.
I tried to build from the sources only, it builds just fine (no error) however, same result, bootloop.

The only "most recent" version I could make work without any issue on the device was the UNOFFICIAL one released by @janforman on 2020.12.28.

Which official version (working) are you on yourself?

I can share you the file if you wish, but as I said, I honestly do not think it works, probably something was merged which has broken everything.

If you could I'd like to get the working built you are on.

Let me know if you want the file.

Regards,

Thanks for your answer. The Build Number states the following:

lineage_YTX703F-userdebug 9 PQ3A.190801.002 bd019ee9d1

The latest file I have found on my USB stick is very old and it's this one:

lineage-16.0-20190913-nightly-YTX703F-signed.zip

I didn't search the device with Root Explorer trying to see if LOS kept the last update file, because I'm not rooted ...

I went to the file manager of TWRP to look for the zip file. Does LOS keep or delete it? I would also need to know the path ...

I googled it and I think I found the path, but the file isn't there anymore, so it has been deleted by the updater ...

From what you typed here, the zip file you found on the USB is probably the one you currently have running on your device since it is marked as 2019.08.01. Actually it might even be more recent.

I'll take it (if you can share it of course) just for the sake of testing if that one works on my device.

The build I am on myself is 2020.12.28 from @janforman and you can find the link to his download folder few pages back if you want to switch to UNOFFICIAL release, much more recent that what you have running atm.
Beware you need to take extra steps (besides a full backup just in case) by using a script when moving from official to unofficial and vice & versa.

Besides when you flash/install using TWRP from like SD card, file stays where it was. Automatic system OTA updates however are an other story if that's what you meant.

I am planning to make builds for this device, once I have figured out how to make them work lol

Cheers!

Do i get this right that there is no official 18.1 download yet - but I could build it myself and run it?
Or do I simply miss the right download page? (as it is not listed on https://download.lineageos.org/)

I know that there is also https://androidfilehost.com/?w=search&s=YTX703F but I am not sure how "official" this side is
