ok good to know buddy. i must fix those before we go official then. I will release a new version to test.
ROM fully working here (8703F) including headphones. No root. Battery drain roughly @ 20% / day with almost no screen on time, WLAN constantly activated, BT deactivated. Not sure if different from original stock rom.

@Demetris Headphones don't work on the new version too, unfortunately. Also, as mentioned above, the only option of webview is the default one (61) in dev options. Besides these two things, the ROM feels very good, no stutters, no lags (rooted with Magisk + Xposed). Somehow I feel that there is a bit of a battery drain but it is too early to say, I need more battery cycles to judge.

@wbn1 AFH is always too slow for me. If you manage to find a mirror, use a download manager!
Automatic brightness is fixed with the new versión?
Headphones works for me, but the sound continue on speakers also(dont silence the tablet). And dont show any icon of headphone, and it is activated in extensions site.

I can't find a way to enable automatic brightness actually (new version) :/ Most possibly it doesn't work.
Regarding headphones. yep, that happens to me also, sorry I didn't clarify it earlier (also the little headphones icon on the status bar doesn't show - the option in settings -> extensions is On) Maybe @chr203 didn't notice that the sound comes out of the speakers as well as through headphones?

In extensions appears a option for to add a button in notification panel for that. This should to activate the automatic brightness when do you press on It....but nothing happens

Ok guys this is it, time to test me another fresh baked aex rom :)
https://transfer.sh/Q2lrx/AospExtended-v5.8-TB8703-20180829-1513-OFFICIAL.zip
Clean install ->full wipe is needed so please do! Thanks.
I wiped Cache/ Dalvik/ System and then flashed the ROM. Is this considered "clean" install, since the System partition is fresh? (I can't afford to setup everything from the start again! yikes!)

Now, bad news I'm afraid, kind of a step backwards:
No sound at all for me! I've tried playing a media file and then a video via the youtube app, no sound coming neither from the speakers nor the headphones. Still no icon when you plug the headphones. Pressing Vol +/- works, meaning the media volume slider appears normally but it doesn't affect sound.
Also, on youtube the video stops playing after a few seconds (5 sec exactly!), it may have to do with webview as I read on another thread here. Webview is still the default one (v61) in Developer Options. Confirmed on facebook app too. The previous (unofficial) version worked 100%.
Lastly, still no autobrightness.

Everything else seems ok!

Another little bug is the button of the camera, It show a half button. On lineage is more or less solved this issue.

About dolby, yes It is true. I tested with this ROM the dolby and It is similar sound like equalizer app that the ROM have....so in this ROM i don't see necessary extra dolby app if do you need only extra sound

i managed to disassemble the system.img and looks like we have native dolby support through /system/vendor/lib/soundfx/libswdap.so
why you guys flash extra dolby enablement packages? i find it quite odd :)
Native support, but no native app in the applist. So no presets, optimizations and so on.
