[Q] Lenovo Yoga Tablet 8 / 10 Open source, overclocking MT8125

Hi All,
I spotted Yoga Tablet 8 / 10's open source code on the Lenovo Support website.
I would like to overclock the MT8125 processor from 1.2GHz to 1.5GHz. I've tried Framaroot and Master CPU hopping to overclock the CPU. Unfortunately, it doesn't work as it doesn't allow me to change the maximum frequency.
My question is how can I extract the kernel from the open source? I read about flashing a kernel that support overclocking. Is it possible to customize the kernel to support overclocking?

If someone manages to do this, I will be eternally thankful to them, provide a celebratory wallpaper and chant their name all night long. (Well, actually just the first two, but I hope this doesn't discourage any potential devs )
Seriously though: I've been thinking about getting the Yoga, but I really think I don't want the stock ROM. Therefore I would love to see CM ported for it, and I'm willing to help (although not an Android developer, I am a programmer, I know my way around and can help with testing and perhaps some other stuff as well.)

Go for it it's a great tablet and once you get used to stock rom it's not that bad and you can always use go launcher if you want a different look only thing I would improve is the rom and processor speed

Yeah, we just got a Yoga 10 for our office that we won in a contest. As soon as I powered it up, I looked at it, and then went and immediately downloaded Nova launcher, set Nova actions to fast, then I enabled developer options, and and set all animations to .5
It is better now, but I would love to be able to a custom rom on here.

Wow.. thanks for that tip .. makes my yoga so much more bearable to use. If only lenovo had a better screen and stock UI.. they would have had a killer tablet...

I'm looking for the same thing. i would be happy with a near stock android rom even anywhere from 4.1 to 4.4
to get you started though, check out this post i made asking about it. i got some help and got TWRP recovery installed which is kind of a first step, but there are still no roms i can find for it. NANDroid backups can at least be made though so if you want to play around with xposed framework you can restore from a soft brick.

I have a yoga 10 and I am ready to test any custom roms which are (if) available out there. I don't mind bricking the device as I hate the stock ROM

Hi, is this thread limited to Yoga 8 wifi or for 3G versio as well?

.
No, both , I no longer have this tablet though as it was faulty so sent back

HP Slate 7 Extreme kitkat update official

First of, DISCLAIMER, I'm not responsible for bricked devices, dead unicorns, rainbows with missing colors, world war, nose bleed, void warranty (you know that already, don't you? your warranty is void now and it's your fault ) or any other harm happening to your device, you or people around you!
i realised that there isn't any official thread for the HP S7E running kitkat so i thought of starting this.
For those of us who have not received the ota update, it can be downloaded from the HP website. The direct link to the file is as follows:
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software12/COL53023/ob-134625-1/update.zip
Just download the file, put it in the external storage and flash via the stock recovery. Personally i noticed that the tablet got much smoother on stock launcher even on power saving mode.
For rooted users, after flashing you'll lose root. It can be rooted using towelroot v1. vroot worked for 4.3 and before but didnt work for me while running kitkat.
This is pretty much all the info i have regarding our tablets. Hope it helps

Thanks for the tip.... just updated to KitKat

for those interested, this is the benchmark results i get on my tablet running kitkat, rooted. i didn't have a screenshot of it when it was running jellybean so i have nothing to compare with.

for the benefit of those who have difficulties rooting the S7E on kitkat, you can find towelroot at the following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=54534802
just be sure to use the version 1 apk. Have fun unleashing the potential of your tab!

I had this tablet too. Now it's my wife's tablet.
No no news about anything from HP. Very poor suport from them. That's a shame since it was a very interesting tablet in that time. Hopefully I was able to root and mod it by using missing xPosed modules.
There's some threads on XDA talking about it but they are not very usefull (try a global search). Sorry.
Now for my own needs I bought a Tegra Note 7 Tablet.

will there be Lp for this tablet? I can't see any developer interested in this one as well, it's just 115 so I'm really interested in buying it

I wonder if this can be flashed to a regular Tegra Note 7?

I could not get this link to work, take you to a generic page to pick your couontry cannot find where to download it, or the lollipop update either.

No Longer Available from HP...Kit Kat ROM
HP has removed the KIT KAT ROM from their support site. I guess it was just causing them too much problems. Only JB ROM is available at the moment.
Maybe they are waiting for nVidia to finalized their Lollipop ROM.

Just picked up a HP Slate S7-4400US (NEW) for $99 on Amazon, wish HP did not pull the KitKat update for their site. For $99 it is worth the wait for the update...fun..fun..fun

I also recently picked up the hp s7e. I am very impressed with this thing. Unfortunately, I am totally disappointed at the lack of support from both the awesome xda developers community as well as 3rd party accessories. Both are terrible and something I have apparently taken for granted with my previous devices. I mean when I do searches for this s7e I mean wow the results are non existant or slim pickings! I hope to see more support here and even CM, but I am not holding my breath. Good tablet though, but needs a user community to make it great.

I am used to rooting my devices, so I am struggling with how to identify what wakelock are randomly keeping my HP slate 7 extreme awake. Some days I return to the tablet days between sessions of using and it's dropped very little battery because it has been properly sleeping... Other times it is almost dead because something is keeping it awake. Normally I would use bbs or wld to discover the problem...any suggestions?

Lenovo S6000 OS Help!

I've got a Lenovo S6000-H 16 G.B. (Call & Msg Enabled) Tablet with Android 4.2.2 equipped. I think Lenovo company has given up on supporting it and releasing updates.
Is there any way to upgrade its Android (For example to 4.3 or 4.4) manually? If yes, would you explain how, please?

If Lenovo is no longer offering official OS upgrades, then it would have to be an custom rom.
If you use the search bar you can find information about flashing custom roms on your tablet, but I would
suggest you really study the case first,and make sure the ROM really works for your Tablet, or you might end up with an non-booting tablet..

Need help! Port Lollipop from tab 4 8 to tab 4 7

Hello everyone,
I would like to know if I can install a lollipop (original or custom) rom from the 8 inch tab 4 (sm330) on the 7 inch tab 4 (sm230) and flashing the kitkat kernel of the sm230 without bricking my device.
Correft me if I am wrong, but I believe they have the same hardware and I see no reason why it wouldn't work. I wonder why the 7 inch version is the only one of the tab 4 family that hasn't recceived a lollipop update yet (no official samsung rom and no custom rom).
So here are my questions:
Why can I not flash the sm330 rom on the sm230? (Tab 4 8 rom on tab 4 7)
If I want to try flashing the rom from the 8 inch version, is there anything more I need to flash? (Kernel, mod,...???)
Will the kernel from the kitkat 4.4.2 work on the lollipop rom? Or will it hard brick the device due to different partitioning?
I am ready to experiment and report the results here (such as potential bugs), as long as I don't get a my tablet bricked.
Thank you for reading and I look forward to some inputs from the community

Thank you very much for the quick reply, I checked the specs and you are right, Marvell chipset for the 7 inch against a Qualcomm chipset for the 8 and 10 inch versions.
But then, is there a device out there (regardless of what manufacturer) that is equipped with the same Marvell chipset and has lollipop? And how hard would it be to port it to the tab 4?
Where can I request this port? (Cyanogenmod, Paranoid-Android, or other rom developement teams?
Thank you in advance for any input

Thank you again, your reply was extreamly helpful, I read all the posts of the thread you shared and it looks promising, although it will possibly have many bugs on the first builds once posted and one should not expect anything stable for at least a month or two after the first release.
I have been checking xda twice a week since 2 or 3 months hoping to see a lollipop release and I am glad to see that we are almost there
I am satisfied with the answer and will try to be patient for this release
But if you or anyone else has more information to share, please feel free to post it here
Have a wonderful day everyone

Galaxy Tab 4 "Value Edition" (SM-T533, matissevewifixxx)

Hi everybody,
I've been looking up and down in this sub-forum but can't seem to find an up-to-date ROM (Nougat or up) that seems to be suited as a daily driver for the Tab 4 SM-T533 "Value Edition" (WiFi only, no LTE). I understand it has a different SoC than the regular Tab 4, hence the ROMs available for that one won't work.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a good alternative?
Currently, I am still on Stock Android 5, rooted (with SuperSU) and TWRP in place. So, I'm good to go, just need a decent ROM.
Thanks for any hints and tips!
Cheers

I have the Tab 4 10.1 wifi only edition t530 and there are craploads of roms. Old but still available. Most don't have working camera. I'm currently running a Dual Boot setup where Stock is my primary rom and LineageOS 14.1 is my secondary rom i can boot into whenever I'd like. Pie has also just been released for this device.

Thanks for getting back. Also for reminding me that I forgot to mention the model name. I edited the OP to point out that it's a SM-T533.
Now, the trouble is that the SM-T533 and the SM-T530 supposedly have different hardware so the ROMs for the 530 wouldn't run on the 533.
I'd be happy with Nougat already. Wouldn't even need to be Oreo or Pie.
Too bad, but it seems there aren't enough devices out there so that it would make sense for any developer to spend the time porting a ROM to the SM-T533.
Cheers

Hiya
i acquired ex demo model of the tab4 T530 and T533.
i managed to fix the T530 model flashing with Odin but no joy on the T533.
what i noticed is the the firmware for the T530 had BL CS and AP files ,but the T533 are only i big file, @Poorusernamechoice developer was supposed to break the firmware into AP BL and CS but alas i have not heard anything back , please assist anyone who has the know how

@musafir 7 Thanks for your reply. I don't believe that after two more years chances have become bigger that anyone puts a minute of work into this. :-( By the way: We still have the tab and it's still running, though it's being used only scarcely now.
