[UNOFFICIAL] LineageOS 16.0 for the Project Tango Tablet (ATAP)

[akw701]

Did somebody try the lineage-16.0-20211009-UNOFFICIAL-yellowstone.zip build.
After the second reboot, the first worked seemingly well, the boot process stops after displaying the first lineage logo parts.
The battery symbol that is displayed after pushing the power buttom again, always displays a full battery, something that occured seldom before.
pushing volume + and - and power to get into recovery does not work.
Any idea what to try to get it into recovery mode?

Did this for several times.Battery symbol showed always 100%. After approx. one hour of repeated tries the symbol changed to empty battery. I charged the tablet in the dock. The next morning the boot of lineage worked perfectly.
So for me the main issue remains, that the power managment is not working properly.
Right now it still shows 100% even after one hour of continous use.... I expect the tablet to switch off all of all of a sudden.
Did you work on the power management lately?

Sounds like your device is having some issues with the fuel-gauge sensor - my tablet with YouTube open just ticked down to 90% over the course of 40 min watching videos.

Hello, I recently found a bunch of these tablets at work and have been trying to get them running again using lineage. I have followed everything I can find and I am running into the error 7 because I have not repartitioned.

I see previous mentions from someone with this exact problem and that instructions for this process is on the wiki but I cannot for the life of me find reference to partion, repartition psci etc on that wiki.

Any and all help is appreciated.

Bless you, and forgive me for not finding this on my own.

I have tried towel root multiple times on 2 different tangos and on multiple different wifi networks but all I get is please make sure you are connected to the internet. After that I attempted to find other root methods but none seemed trustworthy. If anyone has some idea what I might be able to do it would be appreciated.

Is there any reason you can't use Magisk? Maybe install TWRP 3.2.1 then flash Magisk from recovery.

towelroot works - are you getting it from the official site?

magisk doesn't support 4.4

Right, 5.0+ oops.

I went from LOS 14.1 rooted with Magisk to this build, so thats another option, @jjmcousineau.

Maybe I can redo one of mine today. If I find anything that might be helpful I'll let you know.

I had the same problem and could only sove it by rolling back to kitkat and trying a different superuser approach. I described it here:

With the exception of my powermanagement it works very very well, thanks to npjohnson!

Yeah I just followed the link from the wiki. I was doing this at work and I was on the wifi there and also tethered to my cell (in case firewall rules were blocking). I may try bringing it home to try that, is there a way to test connection with whatever it's phoning home to?

Check logcat I guess?

I've spent all day with it and can't get tr to work either. Same error about ensuring I'm connected to the internet, but I'm also having some WiFi issues. I can connect to the internet and do a speed test most times, log into Google and open the play store, but anytime I try to download an app my WiFi symbol disappears and I get a no connection error.

Might not want to troubleshoot that since I don't need persist images, but if I did I would go to LOS 14.1 with TWRP 3.2.1 and Magisk. From there I'd follow the LOS 16 wiki. Thats how I got both my Tangos to 16 in the first place.

Edit, update: I connected a USB ethernet adapter to my dock, turned off Wi-Fi, and made sure I was connected to the internet by downloading a large file. While the file was downloading I tried towelroot and still got the same error, fwiw.

Is LOS 14 good enough to get GApps working? I just want to use this as a stationary clock/media device as I have a few docks also.

I wouldn't recommend it. It wasn't stable for me. It would randomly reboot all the time, etc. 16 is solid and well worth the update.

I think the SU is the solution. If the Super User is installed Here is how it worked for me:
I had TWRP installed first. From there I followed the thread instructions. Worked like charm. With TWRP I installed the the 14.1 rom from highwaystar_ru. No problems so far. Then I saw npjohnsons Lineage 16 and wanted to Upgrade. But being a beginner I stumbled into several pitfalls with ADB (Tablett was in recovery, but it needs to be booted into the normal system) The towelroot Su from the instructions did not work. Thought I had to roll back to kitkat. Got the Rom from the link in the TWRP thread. But next pitfall, I installed it into micro sd card folder. Did work when I shifted everything to the internal memory Backup folder. Being back on kitkat I tried towelroot again to gain SU access. No success either. But I got lucky with "SupersSU v2.82 SR5 Beta" from droidfilehost.com page.
With SU applied, knowledge that for Adb commands the tablet had to be normally booted, I followed the instructions for Lineage OS and succeeded in installing.

Hey y'all. Admittedly, I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I have rooted my Shield tablet and re-imaged them, took Unix for the NAS class for FAA, so I may be knowledgeable enough to be dangerous. I wanted to make double sure reading the wiki instructions. My Yellowstone tablets are still Kitkat and I'm going to follow the "Update to a newer vendor firmware version" instructions first, then proceed to the "Installation" instructions, and ignore the "build yourself" and "update to newer and higher version" instructions. Am I correct in my assumption? Thank you
