I've been banging my head about this one for a couple of years across several Windows installations including 7, 8, 8.1 and 10 at home on two PCs and Windows XP (I think) and 7 at work, on multiple laptops, and taking place in both Chrome and Internet Explorer 9, 10 and 11. I have Edge uninstalled in Windows 10 so I can't test that at the moment. I forget what result I had with Firefox, but I'll probably reinstall it to find out.
It's most annoying when editing an OP but whether with an OP or regular post, I've occasionally worked around the problem by keeping a "master" copy of the post in Notepad++ on Windows, editing that, then copying and pasting that to my post edit. This only works when I either already have a current master copy in Notepad++, or can manage to retrieve an uncorrupted copy which is sometimes difficult when the problem happens in all my currently installed programs.
The problem also occurs when editing a DevDB project in both Chrome and Internet Explorer.
The problem happens most frequently in Chrome so my most common solution was to temporarily switch to Internet Explorer, but right now even IE is giving the same result.
I'm very good at searching and I've tried searching both Google and XDA with different sets of search terms and I don't find anything even remotely similar.
For example, the following correct text:

If this were only happening in Chrome, I would suspect an extension. I've had the problem happen on completely new and clean installations of Windows as well.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
FYI now really weird, even this post didn't come out right on the initial posting. The information attempts to be there when I edit it (additional CODE boxes, there are clearly four total CODE boxes with both beginning and ending CODE tags when I posted and when I edit the post), but as usual, URLs and other information is missing from my examples. I'll probably be forced to give screenshots when I have time later.
Custom ROM Manager finds all the ROMs, GApps and other zip files that are downloaded on your device, lets you install or manage them easily. It also helps you visit official sites of some ROMs/GApps from where you can download them or see changelog.
NOTE: This app does not search the internet for ROMs, GApps and other mods for your device. You have to download them from their respective sites yourself to your device. Then this app will take care of the rest.

Key Features
Finds all the zip files on your device - Custom ROM Manager features multiple file searching algorithms to find the zip files on your device. They are fast, customizable or both fast and customizable at the same time. Users can even choose their file searching technique to their liking.
Sorting and grouping of zip files - After zip files have been found, app sorts and groups them to their appropriate category, like detects which of them are ROMs, GApps etc. It can even detect the properties of a ROM/GApp, like their build dates, version, whether or not they are OFFICIAL builds and what not. The techniques used are efficient and smart.
Popular ROMs/GApps - The app shows list of popular ROMs/GApps. They are selected based on observations of the most popular and most user responded ROM threads across the XDA forums for top devices, and they are listed alphabetically in the app. App is also capable of detecting other ROMs, which will be listed in the "Other ROMs" category.
Official information for popular ROMs/GApps - For all the popular ROMs/GApps listed, you can even check their official information. Like their official sites, download pages etc. It can even check whether your device is officially supported or not, and depending on this, it will open download page for your device when you visit their download page.
Disclaimer - The app makes use of the information that is already available on the internet. It does not use any unauthorized or confidential data. The links are also opened in an external web browser of user's choice, not in some in-app browser or something like that.
Manage your ROMs/GApps - Under each popular ROM/GApp listing, you can see the builds present on your device listed their. Like all your LineageOS ROMs gets listed under "LineageOS" category. You can view them in any way, view them in sorted order based on their build dates or version, or see only unofficial ROMs, or official ROMs. You can delete them, view them etc.
Install them - And finally, you can select them for flashing/installation. This is arguably the most significant feature of the app. You can choose any number of zips for flashing, you can specify which partitions to be wiped before each zip is flashed. You can modify your selection in any way you want, like re-order your selection, delete any entry and what not. And finally, when you confirm, device will boot into (TWRP) recovery, flashing the zips in the very order you selected.
To see the complete feature list, visit the play store page or XDA Labs page.

Well I am not much acquainted with Xposed and its modules coz I don't use it, but I remember they are .apk's.
Can you link me to those zip files which you are talking about, so that I can take a look and add it in next update?

And sorry I just forgot that modules are apk
And if there is way to get kernels differently, is also welcomed.
And sorry for making so many requests!

We will see about xposed.
And custom kernel support is not possible because various devices have various custom kernel, sorting them would be simply not possible..

Great app.
Very useful especially for beginners.
But I have 4 main requests that will improve the app :
1_it's really bothering that every time I want to launch the app it scans for zip files, it takes a lot of time especially for the low-end phones and for phones that have large Memory.
Maybe you should make it saves the path of the zips and names and add a refresh button in the AppBar in case we add new zip.
2_Add wipe davlik-cache,
It's really needed when flashing modes.
3_maybe in the future you should add an options to explore the zip and extract some files.
4_add a new layout for backup and restore specific files from system (build.prop_framework-res....etc) or the whole ROM and save it as a flashable zip in case the flashed ROM has bootloop or some problem you can restore it form recovery.
Sorry for asking a lot I know it's the first release and that is a lot to ask.
So far the app works great and the design is simple and beautiful as usual (I know from your previous apps)
Thanks for your hard work
Great app UI and Idea, but on my Nexus 6 XOSP 6.3, It doesnt detect anything. I give the root access and storage permission, but it stays at "uhh,nothing here". And thats really it. Any idea? Is there some folder i need to put my zips in?(like delta uses). Thanks!

Sorry for late reply, I was busy in the mean time with M and N bringups for some devices.
In Marshmallow ROMs, there is a problem detecting internal storage, which will be fixed in next update, which will come very soon.
Edit: 1.5 is up, check labs
Update 2.5
With previous update (2.0 and 2.1), app was recoded from scratch, resulting in many optimizations and bug fixes.
For example, with 2.0, came better storage detection logic and faster file scanning algorithm, while 2.1 added more modern UI elements.
With 2.5 comes many of the requested features like Zip scan caching, separate option for dalvik cache, and new features like search, respective logos for popular custom ROMs etc.
Please refer to XDA Labs for full changelog.
And do rate and review .
Version 3.0 was released with many cool features.
- Zip selection for flashing was totally revamped. When you tap a card, it will now flip and you will see various partitions you can wipe. Select any if you want to and then tap the card back, it will flip back and notify that the zip has been selected for flashing. And now you can even update what you want to wipe by tapping one of the already selected card back and re-doing the drill. You can even remove it from the flash queue.
- The UI where you are shown what you are going to flash (i.e flash queue) is also revamped.
- Statistics section is also revamped, now shows total size each class of zip is consuming.
- You can also perform TWRP backup and restore operations from the app.
- Some SU related issues (especially on newer security models) were fixed.
- There are always under the hood performance improvements and cleanups.
And all this feature additions barely saw the app size rising. Do check the new screenshots under screenshots tab.
And btw, Custom ROM Manager was released in Play Store too, few days back.

Maybe was i to lazy to find it, but it took already a lot of Time to find the "Custom ROM Manager". How can i add My LIGHT PATCH to the Patch Section of Your Project? I wold like to push Your App by default alongside with My Patch in the Future to use it as kind of OTA Updater. Maybe could You direct Me, or do i even have something new for You? (Checking build.prop for the Patch Version so the App can advise a Update if needed!?)
Would be cool to be Part of that! I'm really looking forward to contribute to it...

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.

Kernel Source Code: https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds112711
LineageOS Gerrit Code Review: https://review.lineageos.org/q/status:open
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.

Sounds like @Hemphiz and others have all learned the hard way as I did, and take the same precautions.
Hope it helps in future, and bravo for your efforts and hard work for us! Regards, PW
: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.
