Lineage OS for Lenovo Tab3 8 plus?? - LineageOS Questions & Answers

Hello, a month ago i bought a Lenovo Tab3 8 Plus (TB-8703F) and I'd like to know if this custom rom is compatible with this tablet? It has Snapdragon 625 octacore 2.0Ghz, 64 bits and 3 GB Ram
Thanks in advance

Me too - am really enjoying LineageOS on my Oneplus One. At this point I might settle for any custom Rom for this Lenovo Tab. The stock Rom is hinky (technical term) and no updates that I've seen.

please make it happen, I need 7.0

this tablet is under USD 150 in gearbest, such a great price for sd 625 tablet. I hope some developer gets one these tablets so we can get los 15

It would be great, this tablet needs really Nougat.
But i'm afraid it doesn't attract enough interest
plus my rom went crazy after a security update and not it won't see my sd card anymore
double sadness for me

any news??

Since Lenovo publish the sources of this tab in march there is at least a chance so see custom kernel or roms within the next weeks.
I think, stay patient.

Don't buy le pro3

i bought le 2 x526 (indina variant) with sd652 2 months ago and eui is a ****ty os so i thought there will be development and the hardware is great on le 2 i will be okay but its been 5months since they launched le 2 and they are saying that releasing kernel source is not in their company policy , i sold my phone today. Please don't buy this phone eui is too buggy go for mi 5s anyday
What was ***ty? Chinese companys are the same. Support just for the flagship, for the small one "just if we got some time".
this device should be different. it has band20. and the world goes crazy for it. whyever?!
So interest will be and seems to be already in new spheres.
Of course....I could be wrong
Good smartphone
i had LeEco Le Pro 3 that bought it last week. it is different from other leeco phones.
News about kernel source ?
Why is it different from other Leeco?
Hi, you've tried the Leeco Pro 3, I want to buy but are undecided. I wanted to know why it is different from the others. Thank you

That's what I want to know as well. I'm not even really interested if not. I've seen it get trounced by a OP3 with 'just' an SD 820. The le pro definitely needs a rom on it for me!

It was there apparently, then taken down again.
The thread should now be renamed into DO BUY the Le Pro 3...
better buy Oneplus 3 instead this
Wonderful phone I have it since a day and I'm really satisfied...perfect, buy it. Eui is a very stable and good firmware. Buy it if you aren't a super fan of CM OR AOSP ROM...in that case better OP3. Anyway probably you can install them also here in a near future cause source is open and this phone will have a huge amount of fans. Le pro 3 is however than OP3 better with its 821...is more stable, has less battery draining, no overheating problems at all.

use Pro3 for 2 weeks in HongKong , so far so good.......4070mah battery could use for a day even heavy usage.
i bought lePro3, and i like it. i think the interface is better than the native MM6.0. and it is a really good phone. i sold my Samsung note 5, and this Lepro is very good. see my other post on "leEco Pro questions and answers" section...for some initial review.
is the official rom good enough?
is it safe to use without backdoors, malware ets?
I did a virus scanning when I got the phone. So far so good. I recommend to install antivirus for protection. I have 360 security installed. But the rom is not official. It is a custom rom developed by the seller Shop. But the US version will be the first official english rom for LePro 3

When I bought It from China, i told the seller to let the original ROM in chinese and english. So the first ROM in China is original in english.
interesting.im watching this phone too...high spec and powerful.
Not a bad phone and if some roms are developed then it'd be so much better. The only ****ty thing about this phone is the software (and no headphone jack / 2 usb c) but i got over it with Bluetooth headphones... I mean you're paying 300 momeis for a phone... Yeah the camera could be better and the speakers could use some help however it's still a solid performer (even with eui being ****ty and taking 2 out of 4 gigs of ram like wtf eui why you do this?!!!)

Which is the best phone for LineageOS 2017?

Nexus is dead, Pixel is nothing (just a Nexus with iPhone price) and Samsung is dead (Exynos/Knox/kernel source), so what is the best phone for LineageOS? I really don't like OnePlus anymore, because for the same price I get a S7 Edge with VR, warrenty and local support (Samsung service point). Car charger for 30 bucks, dash charger, dash cable... f... that!
For now I got a Mi Max Prime (64GB version) and a Mi5s Plus which is just like a 100$ phone compare to firmware support for a highend device (buggy firmware, no real updates, no Xiaomi support (flop)). Don't get me wrong, the hardware is genius (dualsim, 128GB, 6GB RAM, Snapdragon 821, 3800 mAh, QC and for under 400€ with import and shipping) but it feels like the first CM alpha builds from a S3 with Exynos :/
So I need to switch... I looking for a new powerful device with great ROM support, like OnePlus. The battery (SOT) is on the first position, after LineageOS support.
What you think? Switch to the old Nexus 6p, buy a OnePlus 3T (it is the last option for me) or maybe a other phone? A brand new S7 Edge I can get for 400 bucks, a Mi Note 2 for 550 but I really don't care anymore... good battery and official LineageOS is what I need for the future.
I hope you guys can help me.
Regards

right now i'm enjoying my Nexus 6p, but if you want something newer the OP3T is your best shot
That is pretty much how i feel with my old LG g3.
Last I checked the Nexus 7 from 2013 had community support well into 2016. So maybe we should all stop placating Google/Oracle in their resource gluttony & update rampaging....
My 2 cents.
What about the Asus Zenfone 3? So far that's the best hardware I've seen for the lowest price. The software is the only thing I don't like about them so much but so far it beats all the other overpriced iPhone comletitors

Change your mi5s plus for mi5
Xiaomi...cheap and great
I am using redmi 2 for over a year now. Couldn't be happier with it
I already got the Mi5 and it was a beast with MIUI but the Mi5 get real firmware support. In 60 days we get 5 (stable) updates and anything works perfect but 5 inch is to small
Its a pain to unlock bootloader but it works...
When I look at the OnePlus 3T: Unlock bootloader in one min., TWRP already official, Kernel source released, based on Android 7.1 official and ROMs like LineageOS already works perfect, without official build.

Zuk z1 , yureka , and one plus can be preffered as these phone officially ran on cm os ....
ALSO IN zuk z1 rooting and bootloader unlocking is covered under warranty
Sent from my SM-J700F using Tapatalk
I think Wileyfox will be a good choice in the near futur. Bootloader unlocking is the easiest I've ever done. They made good price, good quality product, official Cyanogenmod support (but it's over now). They don't make overpriced product like OnePlus or ****ty one like Xiaomi (7 days just to have a code to unlock the bootloader) and Xiaomi have brand new smartphone variant every week. Redmi note, redmi note prime, redmi Pro, redmi note pro.... Hard to follow.
I've bought a wileyfox Swift 2 at 189€ - 30€ = 159€ on the official website after broke my OnePlus 1 screen. I find it's better than my OP1 except for the photography and for the rom support.
I've got before a moto g (peregrine + falcon) ZTE open C, Fx0, oneplus 1, Redmi note 4 sold 2 weeks after receive it. And wileyfox is one one the best quality/price I've ever had just after the Fx0.
not the "best" only "best fit"
Hi,
why not the ZTE Axon 7 (snapdragon 820, >=4Gb RAM; back fingerprint, usb-c + QC, Amoled; good photograph) ?
david
I have now a Xiaomi MI4 but for sure a Zaxon 7 is a good choice
Xiaomi MI5S plus user here. LineAgeOS is working for my phone (unnoficial), but is great!

I sell my mi5s plus, got the mi5s but main phone is the OnePlus 3T and it looks like I will never switch from OnePlus, because easy bootloader unlock and support for custom roms.

Best phone running Official Lineage 14.1 under 300€

Hi
I'm a CM/Lineage user since 2012, I'm currently using a M8 with LOS14.1 but I need a new phone and having a Lineage Official Rom is a must for me. It obviously needs to be better than the one I have right now (specially the camera and battery) and the rom bug free.
I've been looking into the left bar on the downloads page trying to figure out the best phones running LOS officially but it's not easy, there are too many phones and opening the threads to figure out if the rom is stable or not, then searching for specs and prices takes a lot of time, if someone could help me I would really appreciate it.
Moto z, x pure, x play, g4, in that order!
Enviado desde mi SM-G531H mediante Tapatalk
Thanks. X pure (or style in my area) wasn't in my list but I will definitely check it out. Better camera, best SOC, screen, bigger battery, I can keep the front facing speakers and save a few bucks.
The Z is not an option, it's over my budget and I'm not a fan of the design.

The Mi5 was my first option, I ordered one two day ago but I had to cancel the order when I noticed the lack of LTE band20, it is completely useless in my area.

MI 6 vs MI A1

Hello guys,
I need your honest opinion.
I need to get a new device. I only use blackberry old phone at this moment.
I am thinking of mi 6 or mi A1? Which one do you think is better?
I am thinking a1 for the price and stock android (what I love with oneplus before) but I like also to have snapdragon 835 and EIS for camera.
EIS also affect the quality of normal photos or videos only? I have shaky hands by the way.
Please advice.
Pricing:
mi a1 = 749 aed
mi 6= 1399 aed
Thanks guys
Mi 6 is better
Buy Mi 6 and install custom rom if you like stock.

Which custom ROM would you recommend? I couldn't find any with a battery performance and camera as good as the original one...
Mi 6 is flagship grade. A1 is midrange grade. The answer is very obvious.
imo
Brother! I have both the me A1 and the Mi 6 and the MI6 is so awesome and way better than the A1. Don't get me wrong, I like the A1 but the Mi 6 is so much faster and has many custom roms. If you look for the Mi A1 right now in the XDA forums there are no ROMs as of yet! The size of the Mi 6 is also much better than the size of the A1! I promise you brother!! You cannot go wrong with Mi 6!. It is an absolute pleasure to hold and to use!! And the dual firing speakers makes this a special beast! I personally love the MI6. I am selling my Mi A1
mi 6 is the best choice bro, good luck
Yep I had both the mi 6 was smaller in hand and snappier. Battery life similar on miui. Cam was also better
Mi6 my choice
I'd say if stock is more important to you and you dont mind weaker hardware - Mi A1.
You can install custom rom on mi6, but there will be bugs.
When my nexus died, I needed a replacement phone quick and A1 was not available. Having played with mi6 for a few month now, I'd probably bought A1 if I had a choice... or OnePlus5

Basically two reasons:
I used custom aosp rom on nexus 4 when official support ended and while it works, you need to jump through some hoops to get everything working and wipe the phone (cba).
There is no Oreo roms. Updates will be late at least and most likely there will be bugs.
I know I should just get a pixel, but google has some issues with displays it seems.

Regular sized pixel 2 display is fine. Just the XL if seems.
So don't let it put you off.
Gf has it and is very happy and it is a little bit better than my mi 6 for software updates etc.
Performance is barely better like scrolling in chrome looks nice but google on Google will always be better with their optimizations.
If you need a performance device get one with the SD 835 its an amazing chip.
Blazing fast and no heat even on custom ROMs on Mi 6

Zuk z2 plus!
This phone has a pretty good camera, UIis crap for stock but sexy on custom ROMs
Sent from my ZUK Z2 Plus using XDA Labs
I haven't own or used or even ever seen a Mi 5 Prime.
I have owned / used (rather using) Mi Note 5 Pro, Mi Note 4 and I have seen hands on (friends and family) Mi A1, Mi 4A / 5A and Note 5. I am also using Zuk Z2 Plus.
Now based on this experience and judging from above mentioned Xiaomi devices, I would chose Mi 5 over Z2 Plus. Reasons ?
Better Camera, since Mi 5 seems to be having 16MK with OIS. OIS does make a hell lot of difference.
Certified support for QC 3.0. Though Z2 Plus does support QC but that's via Custom ROM and an uncharted trial and error territory.
MiUi. Personally I hate it, but I can't deny the frequency of update Xiaomi has. Always uptodate security patches plus they update even their 5 year old devices to latest android version, not just security patches !!
Support for Custom ROM. Though both ZUK and Xiaomi are in same place here, for their wide range of custom rom, but combined with above mentioned points, Mi5 would be my choice !!

This is a different issue. Your personal issue with Mi 5 Prime which you already have. But as device wise, I would prefer Mi 5 Prime over Z2 Plus as in overall.
MiUi is full of ads, yes some bugs, but at least they are on steroid with their update cycle I see. My note 5 pro isn't yet a week old, got 10GB update lol. Started with 9.5.x, did, 9.5.11/.13/.14/.15 and now doing 9.2.6. Compare that to Z2 Plus, released with Android 6.0, got one update to nougat, ZUI 2.5 and there it stopped. No patch, no nothing.
If we compare bugs, MiUi is no where close to what ZUI 2.5 had for us.
