[LineageOs-20.0][TB-X606F/TB-X606FA][UNOFFICIAL] [Alexa Show Mode] for Lenovo Tab M10 FHD Plus [14.02.2023]

[whiteze]

Do i need rooted device to flash this? If so could someone please provide me with the guidance how to root?

 

[krayzieiyian23]

You don't have to be rooted. You just have to unlock your bootloader and enable USB debugging. You have to connect to your computer and flash files via fastboot. There are plenty of tutorials on YouTube if you don't understand what I'm saying.

hi i need help I can't start caos and twrp doesn't work anymore either. How can I install a stock rom? ADB fastboot doesn't respond either.

 

[Salutations_Traveller]

This is great, thanks!
Works like a charm on my tb-x606f though I'll try to remove the Alexa stuff.
Can we enable auto-rotate on lock-screen by default? It was kinda awkward flipping the tablet+stand with keyboard on its side for initial setup and first couple uses.

 

[nicoilboss]

I installed the userdebug version and it works very well! Thank you!!

 

[Dramatikzz]

Hi, i tried both userdebug version and user-system version and no one is booting up, my device is a tb-x606f and i don't know what to do now...

Works like a charm. What a difference. Thank you. Only issue is during charging when the tablet is off it'scrashing and rebooting.

Just got done doing the same thing, booted into TWRP, mounted system and in the file manager you can locate it at: system_root/system/system_ext/priv-app/Alexa, erasing the directory got rid of it.

Working great here as well

Were you able to find anything about that? Reason I ask is because direct installation of magisk fails due to system being read only, attached is a picture of what error is thrown by magisk installer, I mean now the whole process is easier because we got magisk to work for this ROM and we can always upgrade through there but it's still pretty inconvenient, you think we can do something to get the system to mount as RW?

yeah, same. Need RW for data /data so i can delete bloatware in stock. I came here to see if lineage was different but after seeing your post looks like same.
at to moment root is not a full root.

found this on github
blockdev: /dev/block/mmcblk0p28: Permission denied
! /dev/block/mmcblk0p28 is read only

MTK kernel prevents writing to emmc at runtime.

does this lineage have stock kernal?

Yeah, unfortunately there's no custom kernel that I know about, if there was we could use OverlayFS module on magisk to make system partitions RW and it could also permit writing to emmc at runtime. I hope someone can make a custom kernel that can support those features

Through TWRP you can backup the boot.img, use the backed up boot.emmc.win to patch a boot.img in magisk, then be able to flash it in fastboot/twrp. It will finish the magisk install and give proper root.

With the stock rom, you can unlock bootloader and flash twrp, flash magisk, and the magisk patched boot.img if you have it handy (attaching x606f patched boot image), and then install magisk once booted, it worked well for me.
There is a debloat module/app pair it works pretty good for finding hidden bloat.

Anyone know if there are proper device/vendor files for x606f?

Let me preface this with saying I have no baseline for how well this tablet should perform as I spent less than a minute in stock rom. I have also never used a Mediatek device or a GSI so please let me know if this is expected. I have used Lineage (and its predecessor) for a decade and the performance of this tablet is the worst out of all the devices I've had. The X606F feels sluggish; every input action has a 1s delay, even with animations set to 0.5. I'm wondering if I've missed something or if GSI performs this awful on Mediatek devices?

My process was this:
1. Flash vbmeta from bootloader *
2. Flash 14022023-user-light-system-006.img
3. Wipe data
4. Reboot and setup device

Since I realized later on there was a twrp release I have also:
6. Flash twrp_X606FA_12.1.fbe.img (there was no X606F but this seems to work fine)
7. Flash Magisk patched boot + Magisk.zip
8. Removed Alexa with Magisk.

* I did not flash latest stock rom because the installed stock rom was as far as I can tell the latest (well past the version in the OP).

I do not have a lot of applications or mods installed which would cause a slowdown. The tablet has been sluggish since the initial installation of Lineage. Is this the norm?

 

[vantt1]

nice Rom. I have the TB-X606F and it works like a charm.
But i have a problem with the dock.
I purchased the dock seperately (i thought, it will work with all Tab M10 FHDs) but i can't set up the bluetooth connection. I've reseted the dock, but i can't connect to the alexa setup.
I've tried the stock-rom of the TB-X606FA by flashing it over the rescuetool, but it did not work either.
Is there a difference in the hardware between the X606F and X606FA?

I am facing the same issue, I'd like to try any and all software workarounds/hacks before resorting to modifying the hardware in the dock

 

[astroanax]

Hi there. I have a TB-X606V everything works fine including the stylus that someone previously asked out. Only issue seems to be that the screen doesn't turn off when the cover is closed. It does, however turn on when the cover is opened, as expected. Is there any fix for this?

 

[RussianNeuroMancer]

I wonder if this GSI image expected to work on TB-X606X too? (unlike TB-X606F X version have LTE modem)

According to this document Lenovo HA-200 Alexa-enabled dock is supposed to be compatible with TB-X606 series tablets (and TB-X306 series too) but is it compatible with this GSI image? le_zlash and vantt1 couldn't get some dock (I assume HA-200?) work with this GSI image.

 

[Wa1ed]

I have problem when I install any room the problem is the speaker and the phone sound coming out at the same time please help

Dunno about dock, but Rom works fine with X. Even sees it supports SIM card. However didnt try how network works, got mine yesterday.

Any GApps You can confirm working?
Tried liteGApps Magisk module, as I didnt want to mod system partition, but that ended in bootloop...

EDIT: Going noGApps way - Aurora Store is fine for what I'll be using this device. And LTE works when SIM card is in.

 

[SpRiNgToIfEl79]

will LOS20 be updated again? (current version: february 2023)

which version is without gapps?

does LOS20 have the lineage recovery integrated or must twrp be used?

What You wrote made me realize how stupid was my questions about GApps when there is version with them xD

1. That's only known to dev. Ofc everyone is free to continue his work using shared sources.
2. "User-light-system" one.
3. It doesn't seem there is integrated recovery, and as I see it's that way for all GSIs, as it's intended to be "system-only image", so boot and recovery partitions aren't modified.

Thanks you for answer! I tested SIM yesterday, and I can confirm that mobile data is working (although I had to add APN manually)
