[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][7.1.2][tb8703f/x/r/n] LineageOS 14.1 for Lenovo TAB 3 8 plus P8

[obvious]

Thought that I only did cache and data, but I guess I must've selected something else... Wireless is totally broken on it now after restoring ^_^

Going to do a full recovery now and start from the beginning (and pay a lot more attention this time!)

No harm in wiping system too in case assert script in zip doesnt

Recovered it based on the below link and then put TWRP back on and installed this again and it's now working perfectly... No idea what I did wrong before but a clean start definitely helped!

On the F version some apps some apps like dialer, messages and phone carrier stuff can be removed with adb. Steps:
create a text file where adb.exe is located, and inside copy the stuff below ;
replace adb+folder from the first row with the name of this folder(where adb.exe and .txt files are). don't remove the %% ;
save the file and change it's extension from .txt to .bat ;
usb debugging needs to be enabled ;
reboot after running the .bat.

cd %adb+folder%
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.android.providers.telephony

Well, this rom is fantastic. I've tried a few over the years and never has one made such a difference. The stock rom must have been an enormous pile of **** lol. I mean how do they go through so many firmware iterations and still leave simple problems unaddressed. Anyway, I digress...

On a couple of webpages I noticed slow loading in Chrome eg https://www.gearbest.com/laptops-c_11964/

So I ran a logcat which picked up some interesting errors which might be worth looking at even if they're unrelated

Yes, Chrome is slow on this ROM. I hope this issue will be adressed. Otherwise ROM works very well.

Perfect standby power use and screen on time. It's going to be over ten hours.

Great! Thanks a lot.!I've been looking forward to it for a long long time!!
Can I expect lineage OS 15.1 for this device?
By the way,The default PPI for this ROM is 320,It looks a bit blur,the device hardware PPI is 283, which can be modified from build.prop.

How can it be possible, considering the tech specs of tb8703f tells 4250 Mah? [emoji848]

I think this may be getting OT but full charge estimated capacity is 4000. I manually set design capacity to 4250. So, they lie(?). Not that inusual

@obvious Try to see on the health section.

Ok, thanks. After several sessions the data should be more and more reliable.

Complete disabled CapSensor, because it causing random touches, when you hold tablet

Can someone explain what is CapSensor please? I'm just curious :good:

 

[tweakradje]

@Mhden2x Think that is some kind of capacitive sensor for detecting user presence.

 

[geoslake]

It's not the proximity sensor right?
As I'm using it constantly with the "waveup" app, to wake the tablet without touching it.

 

[TapaSte]

To recap, for have a fully functional lineage:
- root via qfil
- lineage installation following the guide
- no bootloader unblock needed

Is it so?
