Any hope of getting this working on an 8704V? Just bootloops at lenovo screen. If you don't have the time/interest to fix it, if it's grunt that doesn't require much talent, I can do a new build if you already more or less know what the fix might be, or try builds for you on a V.

Please try this test boot boot-tb8704v-test.img flashed over latest lineage 14.1 build, please try to take logs if possible via adb logcat and adb shell dmesg

thanks very much..:good:

I just flashed this on my 8704v with your modified boot file and it worked! thanks so much for developing this. I am willing to test 16.1 whenever you want to send my way!

Please try this boot boot-los14.1-tb8704v-test20200316.img with Lineage 14.1, it same as previous, but dts code built from source, instead of placing stock one as posted above. If this works well it is one step from lineage 16.0 for tb8704v

Great release though tablet never goes to sleep. Battery life drain is very poor. Battery settings says it's LineageOS System is preventing sleep.

drainage is all Device Awake (Screen off).

Pity.. i liked this ROM.

    LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 8 (oreo), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

    LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

    All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit out Gerrit Code Review.

    How to install
    You have to had TWRP installed from this thread TWRP and ROOT for Tab 4 8/10 (Plus) (TB-8704X/F/V,TB-X704L/F, TB-8504X/F, TB-X304L/F)

    In TWRP clean Data if you coming from stock ROM and do Install of this ROM. If you have android 8 stock rom installed you have to format Data with data loss, because used encryption is incompatible with android 7.1

    Thanks
    Big thank to @mistersixt, who donated $$ for device.

    This is great - thank you @highwaystar_ru for your work. I'll test it on my TB-8704X today. Are there plans on upgrading to LineageOS 15.1 or even 16?

    Yes, I'm planning to integrate it with https://github.com/lenovo-devs and build Lineage 16.0 soon. There will be not many updates on 14.1, I will upload one updated build today, found that current is incompatible with linked twrp (I tested it only with my own twrp build).

    Would you say I could use it as daily driver?

    Absolutely. I've been using it without any issues. Battery is good also. The only thing I haven't done with it yet is play games and cast.
