[Q] Lenovo Yoga Tablet 8 / 10 Open source, overclocking MT8125 - Lenovo Yoga Tab 2 Questions & Answers

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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2611077

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

Android rom dump?

Hello,
Can anyone provide a dump of their Android rom or a link to a full OTA?
Would like to try to get it to dual boot on Windows version of the book.
Thanks!
if i'm not mistaken it would require root to make a full rom dump.
unfortunately we don't have root by now.
Remix OS
If someone could get Remix OS working with dual boot that would also be awesome Very keen for a dual boot solution and I think Remix OS would be a good fit for the Yoga Book. Although I'm not sure is the keyboard would work, would you need a driver for it?

hi...
does anyone have stock rom for YB1-X90L android Or how can i get it...
thanks in advance...:victory:
Anyone has been able to install Android on the Win Yoga Book? I love the functionality of Windows but sometimes it's a little laggy. I'd love to use Android for the daily stuff and use Windows for more complex tasks. I've seen that Lenovo posted he sourcecode of the Android OS for the YB. How can I install that on the Windows machine?

Could we build a custom rom from the sourcecode provided by Lenovo?

Hi,
As the owner of a Nexus device, I am used to regular OS updates with included security patches. Since my Android Lenova Book has not updated yet, I started to look around
to see what could be find on the internets about that. I did not find much, but on the Lenove website I did find the Open Source Code for our Book.
http://support.lenovo.com/nl/nl/products/Tablets/Yoga-Series/YOGA-Book/ZA0V?tabName=Downloads&linkTrack=Mast:SubNav:Supportrivers%20and%20Software|Drivers%20and%20Software&beta=false
After downloading and unzipping it, to me it seems that these are the prop files you need to create a custom / updated rom. Since I am not that savvy on the subject, I only compiled a few roms, It would be nice if somebody could tell me if this is indeed the code that is needed to compile an updated rom and what steps should be taking to make this happen?
gr.

I, too, would love to see this happen.
I own the Windows version, but I've been flirting heavily with the idea of dual-booting. The major obstacle at the moment appears to be that Remix and the other x86 android builds don't recognize or support the halo keyboard. I'd love to have a ROM or something I could install to get the proper Android experience.
I'm down for this... providing my Book arrives soon (in AU so it'll take its time). If I find anything, or get enough free time to throw together a custom ROM I'll update. But I can't guarantee the latter (custom ROM from myself) as it will be a big learning experience.

Have you had a look at the current version of Android Lenovo provides? That certainly does support the Halo keyboard.

If you go to this post, I've helped someone in the same boat as yourself. Read through the comments, that should give you a tutorial on how to flash the ROM so that you have Google.

Hey I'm in the same boat with the clone of your device called the Asus Trio TX201LA. The memo pad shares the same 4.2 rom, same IFIW, Same soc, same droidboot version etc etc. Basicly its just got an all alluminum case but same exact tablet. Mine can run ME302c ROM but camera and doc support is lost. I am working on a rom using BLISS. If you are still looking to update PM me. Perhaps we can work on this together.

Team Bliss is a lil less helpful then I thought they would be, I have had little to no guidance being a noob. So unfortunately I have not gotten it off the ground, nor would I be able to with a locked bootloader anyway. I still use the windows half of the tx201la nearly daily as my main machine and love it. I wish the android could be updated and the me302c shares a lot in common. I have asked asus to look into offering unlock because that would allow me to test a lot of builds already available like the one made for the galaxy tab 3 10.1 which shares the same soc and may possibly boot up on my tablet and even the me302c. If we pester asus to release an unlock tool like they have for just about every single zenfone 2, 3, 4 and 5 (all the older zenfones have the same intel soc family) we are half way there to getting a rom since there has been so much development for this soc already in the zenfone and galaxy tab 3 10.1. Asus is somewhat required to give us something since the atom z2560 is susceptible to the spectra variant 3 (newest called next gen) and if they offer any sort of update it would be an upgrade for us. It maybe advisable to start a petition to get this done. Would you want to try that route, we need unlock first and foremost and its most likely we can convince asus to do that with enough signatures or a small claims lawsuit even. thoughts?
Hi guys, We all have the same issue, a beutiful "still" working tablet with no support.
I read several people asked for a petition or to pay a dev to work on a rom.
If you all are thinking it is worth we could **** how many people around the world
Have still this tablet, or should I open another topic?

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
Are there any otheres out there using this variant, at all?

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.

Yoga Smart Tab

Hello,
So I got a Lenovo Smart Tab (yt-x703f) and really want to flash TWRP to it, so I can flash LineageOS rom, but it seems like there's no support for it, or even a subthread on XDA.
(I tried various twrp images)
Anyone got some experience with that tablet and have something working?
Cheers
For some reason this device gets the silent treatment on all fora. I can't figure out why, this could be a great multimedia device with some adjustments. batt life is great as is the sound. Screen is ok ish and the speed needs to be tweaked, but no one is willing to tweak
You can root the device and even flash a GSI on it. Tested myself and everything is working
Yoga Smart Tab - Iron Grey​Part Number: ZA3V0005US
Not sure if we are talking about the same device but lenovo does not support their mid tier devices with OS updates and would like to install a bloatless OS also pie is really dated and wondering if i will run in to issues with app compatibility. There is also that issue where it won't run HD in netflix because netflix is a static app and can not be removed and reinstalled. Hence bloatware and would love a clean google experience.

Flashing a GSI might help if the device supports Project Treble. Basically any device launched with Android 8 and above should support Project Treble.
Hi, I have a Lenovo Yoga smart tab (YT-X705L) and I want to install a new rom on it. I’m not an IT wizard so I need help with that. Would you find anyone who can give step-by-step instructions from start to finish with download links.
And if you can find experiences on how anything works (which is GSI). Thanks in advance.
