Thanks!

Hello OP, would you please update the security patch for the LOS 18.1 ROM?
Thanks!

Please do not consider these tablets secure, no matter what security patch the ROMs have. Our tablets have not gotten vendor/firmware (and kernel) patches for years and the bootloader is unlocked. These security patches I can provide improve security just on some minor level.

No matter, it's on my ToDo list. I also have not forgotten the PullRequest from @5centr5 (sorry for keeping you waiting that long). I'm just very busy at the moment and need to priorize my time, especially because my new project (an Android app for file encryption) will be published shortly.

I will keep updating this rom irregularly until I get another device. Looking forward to the announced Google tablet.

Will it work on Lenovo TB-X304F?

Thank you, thank you for this build! Just migrated from unofficial 17.1 via clean flash with opengapps. So far things are pretty much ok with one exception: after reboot the camera app is gone completly... so my question is: which GCAM is recommende for Tab4 10? Any suggestion welcome.

Next: do you maintain a Telegram channel or else... comments bugs to be left here or...?

Cannot confirm your issue with camera. AOSP Camera app is available on my device. However it does not support landscape mode, so whoever is using that camera is likely going to try an alternative. I can't answer your question about GCAM (maybe someone else can), I would give OpenCamera a try.

Mostly this thread is used for reporting all kind of issues. Additionally discussions are enabled on GitHub too.


Btw I will provide a new update in the next two weeks.

Re camera: (1) installed a random gcam which shot the system into a bootloop (as expected...) upon reboot stock camera available again!
(2) Do we have android.hardware.camera2 implemented... will do some testing...

Issues so far:
(1) no Netflix app available i. e. netflix webpage error=chrome://settings/content/protectedContent error code M7702-1003 upon use of desktop version website and g*playstore signals "not compatible").
(2) print to PDF creates unreadable partial content only (printing from website).
(3) netflix issue with stock browser as well

please note: playback of restricted content ist allowed in settings of both browsers

OK... here we go: installed MGC_7.3.020_Parrot043 V8.apk - works on the spot like a charm (download from Telegram; search for parrot043)
Edit: when running without gapps make sure to install Gcam Service Provider (Basic) available e. g. in F-Droid. Read the description there for an explanation what it does.

Re Netflix: installed Netflix 4.16.1 build 15145 (arm-v7a) (nodpi) (Android 4.4+) from APKMirror and it works. Didn't dare to update yet though.

Next issue: ZAPP (Mediathek on Android) only working partially. Mixed errors...no internet (BS)...codec missing...only one station loading (WDR) - all good on another device.
Any advice highly appreciated.

Only minor change in behavior after deleting app's cache ... all media on Mediathek played in sort of "slow motion" with no sound despite high bandwidth thru optical fiber.

Hey, I tried to wipe and clean install the latest LOS. I had long time ago unlocked bootloader, rooted etc etc. I wanted to have a tablet that didn't have my own google account on it, was planning to lend the tablet and have 1 app on it from an APK. Anyway, flashed twrp-3.6.2_9-0-X704F.img via fastboot, rebooted to recovery. Then flashed the ROM and see the error 'Cannot find Magisk Binaries - was data wiped or not decrypted? Reflash OTA from decrypted recovery or reflash magisk.' I Then flashed Magisk 25.2.zip (was an apk which I renamed to zip) and rebooted system. Gets to the Lineage animated logo but never any further (left overnight). I have gone back and wiped everything including data, but can't get passed this. Any advice on what to try? Thanks for keeping this device alive BTW!

New build is online!

That's cool, will try this! Do you have any suggestions for my issue above?

I had to restore to factory with Rescue and Smart Assistant. After that, I started from zero again and proceeded to install TWRP, then flashed the latest ROM release. Getting to the Lineage Setup, but when prompted to select Wifi network, there are none displayed. I have to skip and complete setup. (I also skip the Sim Card missing prompt) After setup is complete, I go back and wifi is not switched on. Attempt to switch it on, but it never switches on. I remember that I had this issue way way back....cannot recall how to solve. Any suggestions? Have done factory reset and tried to setup again, same results.

 

[Frankyg]

I decided to try LOS 17.1. No issues, wifi works. going to stick with this, maybe someone can suggest a fix for wifi not working on fresh install on 18.1.

Hi guys, on an 12+ month older build of this, but when I reboot into TWRP, I can't see the SDCARD storage at all, but it works fine when booted? any ideas. Tried newer and older TWRP releases and don't remember having this issue before.
