Finally, after a series of studies and tests not always gone well, it turns out the first alternative to the official firmware ROM.
Unfortunately we are not yet able to have control on the terminal, since no one on the horizon hopes to release source code, but surely it is still a revolutionary firmware, and although it is a photocopy of the stock firmware, once installed you will not need to make any other changes especially.
Nuff said, I shall list the features of this ROM, as amended and then inside:
PERFECT ROM V1:
1) Based on the latest version of the stock firmware (31/12/2015);
2) Root included;
3) BusyBox included;
4) Recovery TWRP included;
5) BOOT.IMG unlocked;
6) Firmware fully translated into Italian (some applications had not the Italian language);
7) Customizing the boot logo;
8) Customization of the animation in the opening;
9) Make changes to build.prop;
PERFECT ROM V2:
1) Based on the latest version of the stock firmware (28/01/2016);
2) Root included;
3) BusyBox included;
4) Recovery TWRP included;
5) BOOT.IMG unlocked;
6) Firmware fully translated into Italian (some applications had not the Italian language);
7) Customizing the boot logo;
8) Customization of the boot animation;
9) Make changes to build.prop;
10) Removed applications "CallerId Search", "JIAJINAgingTest" and Launcher iBingo (potential sources of malware);
11) Added launcher "Smart Launcher" to replace iBingo (optional and uninstallable);
12) Added Chronos widget (in system);
13) Added notification tones.
IMPORTANT!!!
The V2 version was released in 2 versions:
1) FULL VERSION FIRMWARE - full Firmware of all its parts, ideal for those who want to flash the complete firmware and especially for those who do not possess the V1 version of " Perfect ROM ";
2) VERSION UPDATE - The same firmware, but which inside contains ONLY UPDATES from version 1 to version 2. Designed for those who already have the V1 version and wants to upgrade to the new firmware version, without losing anything.
Whatever version of the firmware you chose to put, the ROM is flashed as if it were in effect an official firmware, then using SP Flash Tool.
Council staff, it is a ROM-based firmware official, who wanted to avoid losing your personal data (applications, etc.), can make advance the backup of your existing firmware and, after you install and configure this, restore its back-up created ONLY PART OF USERDATA !!!! You will have the new firmware, but with your personal data. On how to back up, I refer you to post already abundantly treated on site.
I avoid putting screenshoot, would not make sense as a question of changing the official firmware that we all know.
Since this is a first version, I think it goes without saying that all users are welcome tips, questions, clarifications, report problems and mistakes and all you can relate to this ROM ONLY.
NEW!!!
Menu Reboot original
I have created the file "Reboot original" in order to don't have anymore the reboot menu in italian language. This file you can use ONLY ON "PERFECT ROM V2". I'm not sure that will work if you use it on V1 version.
This is the file to flash with TWRP: Reboot original

So i'm just after the easiest most foolproof way to get ROOT there is nothing on the phone i can't replace i have only had it a few weeks, it is KERNEL VERSION

Yes, is correct....if you flash this "PERFECT ROM" you'll never need to improve others mod, because all the mods (root, recovery, busybox, etc) are integrated in my ROM.
I called the ROM in this mode, because you non need to do anithing after the installation!!!
P.S. I'm sorry for my poor english
Thank you

I'm trying to install your ROM with the official Flashing Tool_v3.1504 but I am running into problems (comports and checksums).
Can I install your Perfect ROM with the other SP_Flash_Tool_5.1532? If yes, where can I find the instructions to install the full ROM as a firmware upgrade? Are they the same as for installing just TWRP as you describe in your other post?
Thank you in advance

how to format the stock rom
hi...i want to format the stock rom because i installed accidentally a malware from playstore that i cant delete with any malware software and the only thing i can do now is to deactivate the file that is infected.
1)i know hot to root the phone but i must first delete the virus...can i format the stock rom with SP Flash Tool?
2)to install perfect rom i just have to download it with sp tool and thats it?
2)if i root the phone ulefone says that we cant receive any updates....so if i choose to install the official updated rom how can i get any future updates? i read somewhere that i can have updates if i reinstall the official flashing Tool v3.1504 , is it true or must i do something else to have updates?
3)can you suggest me any good malware software to avoid future infections.
thanks for your time.
"Perfect ROM V 2.0"
Available on the first page, version "FULL FIRMWARE", designed for people who want to flash the full firmware.
For those who already have the 1.0 version, I'm uploading an "UPDATE" version where there is the opportunity to flash only the changes between the two versions.
Both have to be flashed with SP Flash Tool and you can not flash through recovery. Obviously those who make the UPDATE, do not lose anything, the only changes will be the improvements of the last released firmware (28.01.2016).
IMEI issue
Hi, I downloaded and installed the V2 full rom without any problem... when the phone booted the first time I noticed that there was no signal for either sim cards. I dialed #*06* and saw there was no imei on either. I search on the web for a solution and found a program called "Maui META 3G" and with it I could write the two imei numbers on the phone again... I thought that with this procedure the problem would be solved, but only the first sim card is working, the second one is recognized by the phone and it ask me wich sim card i want to use for calling, data connection and sms, but no signal for the second one... then thinking that the second sim was broken I swapped them and the same happend, the second one was not working and the first one was working. both imei are good now but the sim card I put on the second slot does not works.
Can you help me please?
Hi Cuvetto,
great work creating a custom rom, intend to install this weekend, but i don't want to get into trouble like intolko.
Shoud IMEI also be backed up with MtkDroidTool and should after flashing your rom also be restored like userdata ?
And what about mac address, need that also user attention or should that be no problem ?
Thanks for any clearance,

I think that you flashed the rom using "Format all+download" and in this mode, you lose your IMEI.
To restore your IMEI, you can also use other procedure (MobileUncle is an App for this, but don't take it from Playstore, Take it from internet or blackmarket).
I'm sorry for your problem, but noone installed my rom had IMEI problem.

If you want, you can create a bak-up of your IMEI with MobileUncle, (I suggest to do everybody, is a safety procedure)
MTKdroid, doesn't work with our smartphone, you can manage our smartphone, with MobileUncle (take it from blackmarket or internet, not on playstore).
Many people ahve installed my rom, and never noone have lost the IMEI, maybe intolko has made confusion during the flashing procedure.
These are stock-based recovery flashable ROMs I've cooked up for the Cube iWork 10 Flagship (aka iWork 10 Ultimate), device i15-T(D).
They are all based on the stock build i15-T_V1.0_20160302, kernel version 3.14.37-x86_64-L1-R429 Wed Mar 2 18:22:46 CST 2016
I have tested these on my stock i15TD purchased directly from cube-tablet.com
If you are stock, unrooted with stock recovery you will need to go here first before you can use these.
WARNING: Flash at your own risk!!!
Make a full backup before flashing!
I would recommend wiping dalvik, cache, data & system before flashing.
For the Odexed versions a factory reset (dalvik, cache & data) will probably work. You might even be able to get away with a dirty flash if you're coming from the same stock build & kernel version, let me know
OTA: Will probably not work with the Stock Odexed version (I wouldn't try it anyhow) and definitely not work with any of the others as I've removed all the OTA stuff in them.
Descriptions
Stock Odexed NoRoot 552.4 MB
-Nothing has been touched here except for changing default location/language, so it boots up in English
Stock Odexed Debloated NoRoot 484.7 MB
-Same as above except debloated
Stock Odexed Debloated Root 489.0 MB
-Same as above and rooted
Stock Deodexed Debloated Root 417.03 MB
-Fully deodexed, debloated and rooted
Stock Deodexed Debloated Root NoGoogle 368.06 MB
-All the stock google stuff has been removed so you can flash a real gapps of your choice. (I have tested opengapps pico and recommend)
Instructions (remember, make a full backup first!)
Boot into TWRP, wipe dalvik, cache, data & system
Flash ROM
If you didn't wipe system in step 1 then go back to main screen, "Mount", select "system"
(if you're flashing the NoGoogle version, then flash gapps now)
Reboot
Enjoy
Thanks
@SuperR. -for the great kitchen
@vampirefo -for TWRP

Thanks for the heads-up man -going to get started tomorrow on cooking up some ROMs for this version...
Sent from my OnePlus2 using XDA Labs
Turns out that build (20160412) is NOT lollipop 5.1.1, still 5.1. No big differences I can tell so far except for lack of play store/services and a bit less bloat. The boot animation is different (not Chinese cube one but text "TOPWING" ???). The device ID is also different.
I think I'll be holding off on making additional zips for this until there's a more serious and official update...

Hi jet, thanks for the tutorials!
I tried to install gapps but I get the error that there's insufficient storage available in system.
Did you get the same error? I'd like to use the stock installer.
According to the logs I have NO free system space.
Edit: I fixed it, might want to mention that you shouldn't forget to mount system!

Yeah, I didn't add it initially because if one wipes system before flashing then it's already mounted. It's the weird location of system partition on this tablet, opengapps (and supersu) install scripts can't mount it.
But, yeah it should be there as you pointed out, so I added it.
Thanks, and enjoy!

Ow, yeah, I had to because TWRP has issues remounting an otg mounted storage device, that might explain why it failed for me.
I just tried installing xposed and it got stuck in a bootloop, not a big issue as I've backed it up and haven't done much so far, but do you know if it's possible to install it?
And, heck, because I'm asking anyway, have you tried reinstalling windows? I'd like to install windows 10 enterprise on this tablet. Might save me the trouble from going to techtablets.

I haven't tried xposed yet myself on this tab, but one guy over on my howto thread mentioned he tried and also ended up in a bootloop. Too much other stuff going on now but when I get around to xposed, if i get it working, I'll post here.
Sorry, can't help you on the windows side at all, in fact this iWork 10 is the first windows machine I've had in years, just android & ubuntu for me these days...
The people at techtablets are more keyed into the windows side of this tab, especially Laura. I'd recommend asking there.
It's the same tablet this and mine that have a Dual Boot (Windows 10 + Android 5.1.1).
And guys, any web page to follow curiosity of this tablet? mods, ROMS, etc...
What I *really* dislike about this tablet:
NO XPOSED... always destroys the bootup of android...
sdk22 x86 is the correct version, but not supported by this tablet... meh

Hi Alberto,
On Android 4.4.2 (Star i6 and Star P7 with MTK6582), I was able to change the mount point of the internal flash with the external one so that, even though my phone had only 4GB of "ROM" (of which about 1.3GB usable) I actually was able to use a 32GB external flash as usable space for all my apps.
First, I am not familiar with Android 6.0. Second I am not familiar with this specific stock ROM.
My questions are:
Is it possible to do a similar thing on this phone with Android 6.0 so that the total available space to install new apps is overall increased?
Is it possible to re-partition the memory (a-la 4.4.2) so that the partition used for Apps is increased and the partition used for data is decreased?
Thank you very much for your kind reply.
Best regards
Rosario

Well you will lose the IP67 capability, but it shouldn't be difficult. Try to reflash the OS first. (Link in Doogee's website)

Root support for init.d
Hi Alberto,
I understand you rooted the Doogee T5.
May I ask you if the rooted ROM has support for the init.d directory (and, of course, the start up of scripts at boot time, with specific mention for the IPtables configuration) ?
Furthermore, I understand the T5 differs from the T5 S for the lower resolution camera and the smaller RAM. Do you know if the procedure to root the T5S is the same used to root the T5, with the same ROM ?
Thank you in advance

May I ask you if the rooted ROM has support for the init.d directory (and, of course, the start up of scripts at boot time, with specific mention for the IPtables configuration) ?
Furthermore, I understand the T5 differs from the T5 S for the lower resolution camera and the smaller RAM. Do you know if the procedure to root the T5S is the same used to root the T5, with the same ROM ?
Thank you in advance
Rosario

Procedure is the same. Recovery was done special for T5S, but it is suitable for T5 as well.

Good. Do you know if it has support for init.d scripting as well?
It is linux, of course yes. May be you must install busybox on rooted device.

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but many Android ROM do not have init.d support, so, unless you have verified yourself, I would still keep it with a question mark. So, do you have the rooted ROM of the T5? Does it have init.d support?
As for the busibox tools, forgive me, but that has nothing to do with the init.d support.
I'm not sure that rom for T5 and for T5S are the same. These devices have different CPU, RAM and ROM. But procedure for TWRP and root are the same. For placing your own scripts in init.d you must install busybox and rootexplorer on rooted device. Than you can put what you want in init.d

Didn't you just say that the ROM for T5s was also suitable for the T5?
I wrote that the hardware is different ...
And, by the way, again, look init.d and busibox are two completely different things.
1. I said about TWRP recovery, not ROM.
2. To place your working script in to init.d you must have executable commands. Busybox is not only one solution for it, but it is simple.

You keep answering to questions that I have never given.
1. I did not ask if TWRP was OK, I asked if the ROM was the same.
2. I did not ask how to put scripts into init.d directory, I asked if init.d was supported by this ROM.
But thank you anyway for the conversation. I understand you don't have a rooted T5, that is totally ok. Just I need to know something else. Thank you again.
How to root Doogee T5
1. you need following software:
a) SP Flash Tool: -https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1982587 (also you can download from site http://spflashtools.com/)
b) Doogee TWRP recovery: http://www.needrom.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/TWRP_Doogee_T5.rar
c) SuperSu: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu - you must save this zip into phone storage or sd card
2. Install SP Flash Tool, then flash Doogee TWRP recovery (see pic.)
1) choose scatter file from extracted TWRP_Doogee_T5 folder (recovery will be marked automaticaly)
2) push Download button
3) connect your phone. Phone must be power off.
4) after TWRP flashing will be done, disconnect your phone.
5) press volume up + power - you will enter into TWRP
6) choose install, and select your SuperSu zip
7) reboot your phone
3. Enjoy rooted Doogee T5
After installing TWRP and SuperSu - forget about OTA updates. After that you can install updates through TWRP or SP Flash Tool only.
Preliminary operations/infos
First of all: what's Treble?
Find it out here.
How do I obtain my bootloader unlock code?
GO HERE, FAST!
Huawei officially ceased the unlocking service.
How do I get Treble on my device?
At the moment of this write down, EMUI it's still in private BETA.
The only chance to obtain it it's to follow this guide CAREFULLY.
What if I want to revert to EMUI 8/5?
Follow the steps described in the guide to get treble on your device using EMUI 8 files if you want to revert to EMUI 8, or EMUI 5 if you wish to revert to it.
The road it's long...
So, you're sitting there, not understanding why there are so much ROMs in this section and why you shouldn't use the ones appearing in Treble-Enabled Device Development since you worked so hard to get Treble on it.
Let's try to answer a universal question.
What's the difference from the "standard" GSIs and the ROMs in this section?
Well, the ROMs here were made keeping an eye on the "optimization per-platform" concept, basically tracking down some proprietary stuff inheriting them under /system .
**WHAT FOLLOWS ARE PERSONAL OPINIONS**
I honestly think, that we should cut off this approach.
Inheriting stuff under /system has no more sense.
Am I saying that what I did till now had no sense?
Yes.
The whole Treble concept relies on moving away from system, any vendor related stuff.
So why in the hell should we inherit proprietary stuff in our system partition again?
When we have other ways to don't mess with it?
The only stuff that still "deserves" to have something to do with /system it's the Huawei Camera.
Everything else, belongs to /vendor.
Furthermore, our goal, as developers and users, should be to track down specific-platform bugs and report them.
Co-operation is the sake of open-source and the key to success in a wonderful GSI experience for everyone.
Is my device ready to use a "standard" GSI?
Pretty much.
Huawei doesn't ship any overlay under /vendor in our PRA, because it's inherited in EMUI under /system.
But, you can follow this guide, to include the needed overlay to be fully GSI-ready.
Also, you need this thread too to fix offline charging on your Huawei device.
Known Bugs on GSI and "specific-GSI"
NFC has been an annoying issue all along the development process on some Huawei devices.
But this flashable zip, seems to solve the issue on our PRA.

THAT WORKED. FINALLY 8.1 WITH BOOTLEGGERS GSI, 128GB micro SDXC as INTERNAL. I AM HAPPY
for beginners:
boot after working rom in twrp
go in advanced
go to file manager
go to /vendor/etc/
open file "fstab.hi6250" (after copying with and having a recovery of it, open with notepad++ or something else)
there should be a line with: "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/userdata /data f2fs nosuid,nodev,noatime,discard,inlinedata,inlinexattr wait,check,fileencryption=aes-256-xts:aes-256-cts"
erase the part: ",fileencryption=aes-256-xts:aes-256-cts"
save
erase the original fstab.hi6250 file in vendor/etc
and put the new fstab.hi6250 file in
reboot in bootloader
flash stockrecovery.img
reboot recovery
factory reset in stock recovery
reboot
DONE.
now you can see the SD card as internal and use for apps.

Hey OP,
Thanks for all your work. Really a big fan.
There is a problem I've noticed on most of the treble roms. After using apps for a while, they begin to FC.
Love your roms and would like to continue using them

Hi, i am experiencing a weird bug on every GSI, specifically, snapchat video recording is fine and smooth, but after tapping on the "send" button it says "failed to add" and doesnt even give a chance to resend the same snap. It happens on all treble roms i've teted so far (i tested every specific GSI for PRA, and some openkirin and otger ones). @dill3m4 do you have any idea how to fix it? I hope there is a way to do a flashable zip or something like the NFC fix. Once i get back home (2-3 days) i will post some logs, in the meantime, can someone please confirm if the issue persists, and gather logs? ?
can i use this method in stock firmware(rooted) because i cant see any fstab file in vendor/etc/

I couldn't find the file using TWRP either. Had to use root explorer to find and edit the file. As for hurupdater, I'm not sure if it's the same for your region, but for pra-la1 there were 3 files.
And as for the the 2 files, I successfully flashed using the updater with only the update.zip so try updating anyway. If that doesn't work, use the eRecovery

LineageOS 14.1 Port ROM
Lenovo Tab 3 8"/TB3-850F
•WARNING:
You are installing this custom Android ROM at your own discretion and risk. If you are unclear on anything, please stop and do some research before proceeding further. This is not a Q & A thread, so please post comments on topic with subject matter relating directly to this ROM. I will not be held responsible for devices which become bricked or damaged as a result of installing this ROM. You are encouraged to read and re-read the OP prior to installing this ROM on your device. Please visit this thread for now to make general inquiries about this ROM or about any other questions or issues you may have regarding the 850F. Either myself or XDA Senior Member @pndwal, who is very knowledgeable about this device and Android in general, will try to address your questions. https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-lenovo-tab3-8-tb3-850f-t3559786 User input and feedback are essential in making improvements, fixing bugs, and in helping development for this device to continue to evolve.
Any skilled devs interested in contributing in any way to development for the 860F, please use the above thread to contact @pndwal and coordinate with him in that area.
I am not a developer, nor did I contribute to the porting of this LineageOS 14.1 custom ROM for the TB3-850F. I merely packaged up the files, added GApps Pico, made a few minor tweaks, and created a TWRP flashable zip installer for this ROM. Please do not request updates or make ETA type inquiries on this thread. Whether or not this ROM will be maintained is still up in the air. Please give any and all credit to the individuals I have listed below under Mentions & Credits.
LineageOS 14.1 is a free, aftermarket distribution of Android 7.1.2 Nougat, which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many individuals within the Android community. Although this particular LineageOS build does have GApps Pico preinstalled, it can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. LineageOS does still include various hardware specific code, which is nonetheless slowly being open-sourced anyway.

FEATURES & SPECS:
•LineageOS Version: 14.1
•Android Base Version: 7.1.2_r8 Nougat
•Build ID: N2G470
•SDK Version: 25
•Build Date: May 15, 2017
•Security Patch Level: May 5, 2017
•Kernel Version: 3.18.19 (mods by @wezroot2k)
•LineageOS API Level: Guava (7)
•GApps Pico Pre-installed
•Insecure Boot Image Support
•Force Encryption Disabled (Opt-Encrypt)
•AVB/dm-verity Disabled
•Fully Deodexed
•Fully Zip-aligned
•User Opt Root or Non-Root
•Status: Unofficial/Stable
WORKING:
•Booting
•WiFi
•Bluetooth
•Graphics/Video Playback
•Audio
•GPS/Location Services
•GApps
•Magisk Universal Systemless Interface
BUGS:
I am presently working on Settings UI to omit the mobile networks/telephony entries. These are present because this ROM was originally a smartphone port. Otherwise, please feel free to submit a proper bug report or, at a minimum, a clear description of the bug or instability, including screenshots if possible.
A bug has been reported for apps that require superuser permissions (Greenify, root file managers, etc), and I have determined that installing the latest Magisk systemless root will alleviate that bug.
Upon initial boot, during setup, you may experience an issue with Setup Wizard force closing. I have posted a quick workaround for this below under the Installation Instructions heading.
REQUIREMENTS:
You need an unlocked bootloader and TWRP custom recovery installed. If you need help with either of these topics, please visit this thread for guidance: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-lenovo-tab3-8-tb3-850f-t3559786
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Download the ROM zip from the below download link and save it to your device storage...
2. Boot your device into TWRP recovery mode...
3. Wipe Data, Cache & Dalvik/ART (my installer automatically formats the /system partition)...
4. Select Install, navigate to saved location of the ROM zip, select it and swipe the action bar to begin installation...
5. Reboot system (installation will take around three minutes).
*Because this ROM is fully deodexed, first boot can take several minutes to complete while the Dalvik/ART directories are being written for the first time. The second and subsequent boot times will be much faster. Also, on first boot, select your language then choose SKIP on the Insert SIM Card screen. You will then be prompted to set up your device as new or copy data from another device as part of setup. At this stage, if the Setup Wizard force closes, swipe down from the top of the screen to access Quick Settings and go ahead and connect to a WLAN/WiFi network. Now, go back to the previous screen and Setup Wizard should function normally and allow you to proceed with setup of your device. I am presently working on removing SIM/Mobile Network settings on this device, so hopefully this will be fixed soon, and a true WiFi-only tablet port will be yielded.
**As mentioned supra, this ROM is packaged with GApps Pico, which provides the bare bones minimum for Google Play functionality. If you want a GApps package other than the one preinstalled, visit https://opengapps.org/, choose ARM64, Android 7.1, and select your preferred package. Simply install the GApps package after Step 4 above. If you want root, visit the official Magisk release & announcement thread here https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445, and download the latest Magisk Manager apk. Install the apk, go to Developer Options and enable Apps & ADB in the root options menu. Open Magisk Manager, select Install, pick the direct install option, and systemless root will be installed via patched boot image. Reboot and systemless root should be properly installed & stable. Be sure and hit the Thanks button on @topjohnwu's thread if you use Magisk.
MENTIONS & CREDITS:
This port was made possible by a number of individuals both here at XDA and abroad:
- Credit goes to 4PDA (Russian Development site) member chipa76 for the original TB3-850M port, and to 4PDA member al_rus for his contributions to, and for posting that port.
- Credit and thanks for the breakthrough moment for TB3-850F users must go to XDA member @wezroot2k who, after others tried for many months, was finally able to stabilise this ROM for our device by recompiling the ported boot image with TB3-850F stock kernel. Also, he has worked on tweaks to streamline the ROM for TB3-850F.
- TWRP flashable ROM package as well as some tweaks to streamline the ROM for TB3-850F have been made by the OP, @AeonFlux1603, who will continue to work on a few further improvements, insomuch as spare time will allow
- Thanks to XDA Senior Member @pndwal for his dedication to this device and for passing on suggestions from the 4PDA Devs regarding the adopted method of stabilising ROM for TB3-850F.
- Last but not least, thanks and credit goes to the entire LineageOS Dev Team for making this custom aftermarket distribution of Android possible for low-grade, mid-grade & flagship devices alike.

Just read this new thread! Well done n many thanks.
As I explained in other thread (not sure if you understood properly - please read it carefully again to avoid heartache), XDA Labs does have a serious fault. Simply put, posts are shortened to a point where '*' symbol occurs, and because copying and pasting often swaps spaces (between words) for this symbol, the post gets truncated and your efforts are lost!
I said:
Frustrating to lose all that typing . Sorry to hear that.
Beware of accidently hitting 'backspace' after highlighting text!
***Also, please be aware (if you use it,) that XDA Labs app is flawed, and will often unexpectedly truncate your post when sending. This usually happens when you've copied and pasted info - you'll find '*' substituted for spaces in places, and the first one will be near the point the post is truncated. I always highlight and copy complete post before sending, and if I lose text I repost it from browser, which doesn't have these issues.

:highfive: Hey AF just read the thread and I love and thanks for the kudos and well done.
I have installed your LOS 14.1 packages and must say it is stable very smooth and love your installer :highfive: I am using it right now and loving it
Also I did notice I minor thing and this for all user of this rom ,this is maybe not the ROM port fault but maybe the specific app bug or compatibility issue. I notice that the Greenify app does not do well with the default SU add-on of this ROM Greenify just does not load. Keeps crashing at getting su root access screen, but it does work with other root method so maybe something to look into.
Also I think you should edit the build.prop values for things like model number should be changed to 850F and not 850m and so fourth.
I have a build.prop file I can send you to look at.
Otherwise everything else is good
Excellent work AF

Also I think you should edit the build.prop values for things like model number should be changed to 850F and not 850m and so fourth.
I have a build.prop file I can send you to look at.
Otherwise everything else is good
Excellent work AF

That's good to know on Greenify. Flashing a Magisk v18.1 systemless root installer zip via TWRP would likely fix the issue. I have noticed a similar problem using MiXplorer in root file manager mode. The problem like you said is likely the LOS 14.1 su_addon.
Glad you're loving it my friend. After working so hard to help make it possible, you are deserving indeed.

Not sure if you're using adoptive storage, or where MiXplorer (or Greenify) loads by default, but generally apps requiring root access lose functionality or won't load at all if installed on SD storage.
I use ES File explorer which installs to SD by default, but it must be moved to internal to enable its inbuilt root explorer, otherwise its root test fails and root explorer toggles off.
This just may be your problem too. - Pays to check SuperUser enabled apps in manager, and ensure each of these is on internal storage. PW.

Y would the app do that?
Maybe you would have to create the thread from a PC.

Yet the Labs app does this often . I've explained in my last post on page 1. PW

My post to AF above re storage may help here, but could be SU used as you say. PW

I'm not running adoptive storage now. I had previously tried it to ensure operability. But, you actually just helped me troubleshoot a problem I was having on my LG G4 with root. It was due to adoptive storage. Haha. Man PW you know your Android for sure. Thanks.
So on our 850F I'm going to try Magisk or phh-superuser systemless root (or maybe SuperSU v2.82-SR5) to see if that fixes root access of the OS.
Also, I'll be posting the stock 6.0 firmware this evening sometime, with fastboot instructions. I was wrong about it being the most current build. It is actually one of the initial builds that shipped with the 850F in mid to late April, 2016. Hard to believe this device is nearly three years old now. So, once installed, the user will be prompted to install a series of OTA updates subsequent to initial boot and setup.

App could've timed out. Similar to chrome. I copy/select all before confirming just incase (with pretty much every hefty message I write)

I've found even if it times out, or can't connect when sending, things are generally handled properly by Labs app, a message appears that 'send failed', and text is all still there allowing further attempts.
However, the space-substituted-for-*-symbol problem (when copying and pasting) will truncate the post and successful send in one operation. This means a large portion of text is often lost and irretrievable. (Also, the * symbol still shows as a space while editing, so one doesn't realise that the space has been substituted until its too late.)
Great advice to copy all before sending. PW

@wezroot2k, @AeonFlux1603
TB3-850F users are privileged, blessed, ecstatic, proud, happy and very thankful to have two budding (though clearly possessed of valuable experience and practical knowledge) developers on board the Good Ship TB3-850F, and its been a long time coming!
Thank you both especially for Stable and Virtually Bug Free Port to LOS14.1 for TB3-850F, as well as for other valuable resources we are gaining - including this new thread for our brand new Lineage Operating System!
Your sincere expressions of thanks / praise for helpful posts are also much appreciated.
Just a small heads-up (and sorry to spell it out) - Please don't neglect the 'thanks' (thumb up) button when a post is useful, or a sincere attempt to help is made. This is kind of the expected / default expression of thanks around here, and is possibly the most sincere form of flattery as it also elevates a members XDA profile. It's a simple and immediate way to say 'thanks', and often makes further comment unnecessary. (Incidentally, thanked posts are indexed, and are often perused for helpful information.)
Many thanks, and loving your work! PW :good::good::good::good::good:
It looks like I have the Settings UI ironed out, with all mobile networks/SIM options removed in the Settings menu. I'm going to to repackage the Settings apk, implement it back into the /system directory and see if it works. If so I will update the OP with a new build.
Also, Magisk systemless root appears to be a fully stable root protocol on this LOS build. . Oddly, after flashing the Magisk v18.1 systemless root installer zip with TWRP, the Magisk Manager app doesn't appear upon reboot. But, once you manually install Magisk Manager v7.0.0 (185), root shows as properly installed and up to date. Thus far, I have noticed no instabilities or bugs with Magisk.
So, the recommended method of installing Magisk systemless root on this ROM is to first install the latest Magisk Manager v7.0.0 (185) apk, select Install from the app, and choose the direct install option. Reboot and Magisk v18.1 systemless root should be properly installed and stable. Go here to visit the official Magisk release and announcement thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445 where you can download the latest Magisk Manager apk and systemless root installer zip. Be sure and thank @topjohnwu if you use Magisk.
Update on Settings UI. After repackaging the Settings apk and framework-res.apk, I am experiencing force closes every time Settings is opened. It is probably something as simple as an encoding issue or an error during repacking but I'll keep progress posted.
Update on the Settings UI. I now realize that my issues were due to my failure to properly encode my edits of the relevant .XML files with UTF-8 encoding prior to repackaging. As I may have mentioned previously, I am interested in bringing this port up to date with the latest upstream sources. So my next build release will hopefully include current LOS sources and have the Settings UI ironed out. While progress is not nearly as quick as I'd like, I am working on it.
I don't know about you guys as far as audio preferences, but I was really partial to the stock Dolby Atmos app that ships preinstalled on this device. I done a little testing to find a comparable audio setup. There is a Magisk Module titled Collective Dolby Atmos (ZTE Axon 7) v1.8 (2.2.1.7_r1), last updated on January 15, 2019, that works great on this ROM, with nearly exactly the same features and UI as the stock Lenovo version of Dolby Atmos. To install it, of course, you can simply download the Module and install it via Magisk Manager or via TWRP. There are several different Dolby ports available. This is the official support and release thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/soundmod-axon-7-dolby-atmos-t3412342

Quite like ViPER4AndroidFX ( @ahrion, @Zackptg5) Magisk module. I think it auto-installs AML - Audio Modification Library - Magisk module (by @ahrion, @Zackptg5) also. (Used to anyway.)
AML currently supports all these mods too, so its a smörgåsbord:
- AM3D
- AudioWizard
- V4AFX
- V4AXhifi
- Dolby Atmos (ahrion's ports)
- Dolby Atmos Axon 7 Oreo (guitardedhero's port)
-Dolby Digital Plus
-Bang&Olufsen ICEPower (only tested ainur version)
- Arkamys (only tested ainur version)
- Dirac (only tested ainur version)
- Dirac Hexagon (only tested ainur version)
- JamesDSP
- MaxX Audio 3
- Audio Compatibility Patch (formerly universal deep_buffer remover)
- Ainur Sauron
- SquareSound
- DTS Wizard
- Sony Xperia Z2 Sound System
I see Dolby Atmos Axon 7 Oreo in this list too. Haven't tried it, but I know guitardedhero's a bit of a genius with these mods. PW.
