Question [TB138FC-SD870] XiaoXin Pad Pro 2022 Sharing and support

[ZhenMing]

I starting this thread to share among the members who having and using this variant of the new XiaoXin Pad Pro 2022 (AKA XiaoXin P11 Pro Gen 2) on the usage and perhaps the support too.

Not working:​

• ZUI PC mode​

  This feature was redefined in ZUI 14. It only applies to external display.
  You are highly recommended to feedback the absent of this features to Lenovo and hoping Lenovo will listen to enable back this feature on the next release.
  • Workaround

• Google Device Config Backup to GDrive​

  Even you had enabled the Google Play services, and it works on almost everything, except this. It just don't backup the device config to GDrive.

Knowledge Bases:​

• Activate Google Play Support

Special Features:​

• Wireless cast to Tablet as extended display from PC

Let me started with my own sharing:
I just got my set of XiaoXin Pad Pro 2022 with China ROM but been enabled with Google Play. However, it wasn't full as some of the feature was broken, such as:
- Device Config Backup to GDrive

Due to my Google Play support was enabled by the seller before sending out, I could not confirm the actual way to acquire this features. When asked the seller, he said that just download the Google Play APK from the internet and install. Some video said the Application Center did offered the Google Play installation too. Which indeed true that I could find that there. This is the easiest way to get the Google Play installed into your tablet. However, there was reporting that it won't sign-in to your google account.

Since it runs on China ROM, the Productivity Mode is missing but replaced by Study Assistant Mode. This is something missing from the best part of this table, when attached with a keyboard. However if you are to project/cast the display to external display, the one on the external display will be in productivity mode. How strange, right?

Zhen have you figured out a method to enable Productivity / PC Mode? Study Assistant is near-useless for me and I'm really missing the Productivity Mode....

Good Day
Firstly, I'm sorry my English not good
Honestly, I'm shocking from this table not support sign in for google Apps
Why they don't told us about this issue before we get it !!!!
Anyway, now how we can change it from Chinese ROM to international ROM ?

Unfortunately, according to the ZUI 14 update, it had abandone the PC Mode within the internal display. It will only appear on the external display that you connect through the Type C. But, during then, your internal screen will still not in PC mode. I was requested feedback to Lenovo on this and request to have that feature back. You should do the same...

By looking at the download filename, it is for TB128FU. Our table is TB138FC. It is best not to mix and match the firmware with the device that you own.

This is a SD870 SOC device, I believe the resources for this SOC on a Custom ROM support is plenty. I do hope there will be developer interested on this table and build something interesting for us. Let's hope for the best.

Furthermore, this table is relatively new in the market. For a custom ROM, we might really need to be patient for one. But who knows there is already one in the development state? Just be hopeful.

Well that's a very odd and disappointing bit of development on Lenovo's part. Thank you for giving me clarity on the issue at least. I will reach out to them and request they not remove features unnecessarily...

I just found the meaning of TB128fU. It is XiaoXin Pad 2022. Confirm it is not for our tablet.

It did work with the following steps:

1. Install Google Playstore apk (from APKMirror and look for ARM64-v8a architecture)
2. Install Google Play Services apk (from APKMirror and look for ARM64-v8a architecture)
3. Install Google Services Framework 12 apk (from APKMirror and look for ARM64-v8a architecture)
4. Turn on the Google Basic Services:
   Settings -> Apps management -> 3 dots on the top right -> Google Basic Services

Voila! it work like a charm.

[ZhenMing]

Congrats!

So far the only feature I could not make it work is the Google backup.

The backup just don't finished the backup.

Did you face this problem?

 

[ZhenMing]

Checked from the ZUI Weibo fanpage and found an interesting features of our tablet. It can be wireless extended display from you notebook (Windows base). It is through the Lenovo One. It is an interesting features:

ZUI Usage Tips: [Computer Secondary Screen]​

Tablet turns into the second screen of computer​

• Close collaboration between devices with the same account
• Expand or mirror freely
• Seamless streaming of screen and audio
• Double the efficiency of dual-screen collaboration

Check out the video demo there and you can download the installer here to try for yourself.

However, the wireless cast from phone is only supported by Lenovo phone with ZUI at the moment. No APK that we could download to enable this feature from other brand phone, yet.

Or anyone could extract the Lenovo One APK from our tablet to test if it works? Interesting question.

Hello! Which case and screen protector are suitable for our tablet?

Hello! Which case and screen protector are suitable for our tablet?

Our screen is 11.2 inch.. just check with seller for that size should work.

As of case, I'm not sure about the 3rd party product. The Lenovo cases that I'm using is pretty good where it had the pen placement to protect our pen. Pretty convenient. I had the one with keyboard too. Both are as convenient as it should be.
