Will there be any custom rom support for Lenovo TAB P11 pro as I can see there is no android upgrade plan from Lenovo side ?

Since bootloader can be unlocked, it's up to developers

I hope they develop a proper Lineage port or something like same. I have already fed up with the Lenovo software. Productivity mode useless and we can't disable it permanently.

I just finally got the keyboard and case for the tablet and it automatically puts the tablet into "Productivity mode" when you attach the keyboard.
At first I thought the productivity mode was kind of cool. Until I started opening up some apps that aren't compatible with it at all.

I don't like the keyboard at all. I would like to use a BT mouse but when it connects the onscreen keyboard won't come up. So I just use touch all the time.

Just noticed that every single time I attach the keyboard it auto-starts that 'productivity mode' automatically. I then have to go into settings to disable it as most of my apps aren't compatible with it.
Real pain in the a$$ this is now lol

Every day it drives me mad. How is it that I have Productivity Mode turned off in Settings and it ignores it and turns it on every time I fold the keyboard or attach it?!
I really wish there was a hack to turn it off permanently.

My tab pro has an option in the settings to not turn productivity mode on when a keyboard is attached.
Settings -> productivity mode -> auto switch when kB attached

Thank you so much for that. That must have appeared in a recent update. Brilliant, let's hope it works.

regular p11 or xiaxin is already very cheap to buy, so there will be some roms in the near future, however it works fine as it is. No need to rush for a custom rom, android 11 doesn't really offer something new, maybe wiht android 12 we will see some good custom rom out there

...mmmm crazy question
is it possible to flash a samsung rom to this tab?
i had a china tab before(8yrs ago?) that was using a samsung rom

[Q] Custom Rom which support Charging and USB OTG at the same time

Hi,
I still want to stick with 4.4.2.
Is there any custom rom for the shield which support charging and USB OTG at the same time?
Thx
Nope. Either you make one using old source or upgrade to 5.0. Why do you want to stay on 4.4 anyway?
Sent from my SHIELD Tablet
5.0 isn't as fluid as 4.4.2 for me. Sometimes the os take some time before it move to the next screen, ...
Also some important programs doesnt get updated.
And the lock screen notification function suck. It always disable apps which I strictly enabled for notifications.

5.0 is working well for me. Maybe try a factory reset and see where that gets you?

Missing tweaks

Hello Everyone,
I'm fresh owner (bouth a week ago) of Honor 9 and I'm very happy with the choise I've made. The phone is incredible fast (comparing from my previous Galaxy S6) and EMUI is well optimised. But, ehm let's complain a bit . I'm courious what kind of feature you're missing on your Honor 9 phone/EMUI. For me the complaining list would look like:
- Missing ability to control notification light - different freq. and color for different apps
- Gesture for home button - there would be nice if "scroll up/down" would trigger to enroll notification arean
- Dim clock as screensaver while charging (very usefull as I'm charging my phone while sleeping, and so could be use as night clock)
- Knock Knock feature on locked phone - to see notification when phone is on the table (I know there is notification LED for it)
Ok that's my complaining list. If you have any idea to overcome such a limitation feel free to suggest. Also don't hesitate to complain a bit as well

I don't think there is a way to over come your complaints without rooting your device. Even rooting your device won't allow you to use the features you want on the home button.

Hi iceepyon,
yes I believe you're right, there the missing feature about home button won't be most probably overcome without ROOTing the device and use custome KERNEL. To by honest with you I'd rather to not use the feature as some application I'm using won't run on ROOTed phones (based on official statements).
Hovewer I believe some of missing feature could be added by some app?Any recommendation?

- most phones nowadays don't have notification light. Probably because the phone spend most of its time in our hands
- I agree with this one. The fingerprint scanner supports swiping gesture
- honor 9 uses ips lcd screen, even if its dimmed, the whole screen still light up. This will heavily drain the battery
- you can use wave on proximity sensor app to turn the screen on

@pijes,
1. Maybe most of the phones doesn't have notification LED (wouldn't be so sure about this one), but Honor 9 does, so ability to control it would be usefull
2. Yeah would be nice, but dunno if if is possible withou kernel upgrading
3. Yes, could be battery dainer, but I'm speaking about situation when the phone is charging actually
4. Can you explain a bit deeper the statement, about to using "waze on proximity sensor app"?

3. Charging and discharging simultaneously can be harmful to the battery health
4. There are a few apps out there that try to simulate the wake screen using gestures and usually they implement it by making use of the proximity sensor. AcDisplay, WaveUp and Glance Plus are among them

Well, there is honestly nothing much which can be done if you want to add the knock on wake feature. Same can be said of the notification LED as those are built into the device's official stock OS. The only thing you can do is install a 3rd party OS and hope that it has some of the features you want. However be warned that most if not all 3rd party OSes do not have the best post image processing software so your pictures won't turn out as good as if you have taken them using the stock OS that came with your device.
@iceepyon, yes I can imagine that most 3rd party OS won't have such a camera software optimalization. Btw, I've read some post about how to enable 3rd party clock as screensaver. I can't understand why Honor/Huawei disabled this feature, which is present in stcok android.

Probably due to security issues. As Huawei has been focusing quite allot on making and keeping their devices secure.
@iceepyon, I really don't know how "clock" screensaver would expose the security more than "image slideshow" screensaver

That is certainly true of rooting or installing custom OSes onto your mobile device. As there are so many things which can go wrong. However current versions of android are now at a point where unless you need to have your device rooted for work purposes. There really isn't a point for the average user to do so.

Multitouch/screen issue ?

Hi there,
I just received my new Mi MIX 2S (actually, I got it 360 hours ago, if you know what I mean...) and I'm very satisfied with this toy
I'm on the last MIUI 10 Global Beta (8.7.5) since this afternoon, with SuperSU v2.82-SR5 and of course, with an unlocked bootloader.
However, I noticed a "strange" glitch/issue when I quick touching/typing.
It's seems that the screen not considering the different touch but acts like it does "two in one" touch.
I made a small video to illustrate the issue :
https://youtu.be/NdW8Zeo1MLQ
Does anyone has this too ?
Do you think it's an hardware or a software issue (like calibrate or touch-delay update) ?
Thanks

Damn... I bought mine on Joybuy, I'll try to deal with them about the warranty because I guess I can't contact Xiaomi directly.
The XDA Gesture workaround seems to be a good temporary way but, I really don't want to stay on a defective device...
I already did this with my Oneplus One (as a early buyer, I got a similar issue) and it was worst with time, I regret to had never return them

Bought mine on Aliexpress, no way I'll get a warranty without me paying $30 of shipping and lose a month without the phone.
I tried the XDA gesture thing, but you can't really get the same gestures as on MIUI (alsway have to make the gestures from the bottom of the phone it seems). So for now I'm just using it with this "bug", with the keyboard closing from time to time when I type.
Probably gonna get a Mi Max 3 to replace it anyway sooner or later.
I just made the thest you did with a drawing app and I got the same results when I multi touched the screen very quickly. I hadn't noticed this earlier because it didn't cause any problem for my daily use. Specifically, in which context did you notice that issue?

Thanks for your test and your answer.
In my case, it's very annoying when I (fast) typing a message, it causes a "fake" swipe and recude the keyboard or go back to home screen. I'll try to make a better screencast to show you in-use case.

Fine, I'll tell you my experience. I use to had the same problem, it's only noticeable using the keyboard and specially when you tap the letters located near the edge of the screen, specially like the Q and P. I'm almost completely sure that the problem is related to gestures, because the system thinks you're swiping, in my case I got some lag too in addition to the false back gesture. What I did to fix this is use the keyboard (Google keyboard) in one hand mode (long press the "," and this option will pop up next to the emoticon) and moving it to the center and the problem is gone. It's actually more comfortable this way because the space bar moves up and it's more accessible. You can play then with the keyboard size if you think it's too small. There are two others threads talking about the same problem and I recommended this solution in both, and it seems to work for others too. Try it and tell us.

Hi,
Actually, I think it's more an OS issue than an hardware one.
After some tries and research, I noticed that these "screen glitches" are bad interpretations of fast multitouching, translate into swipe/gesture.
These swipe/gesture come with the gesture navigation mode, included in full-screen desplay (and which allow to hide the bottom navigation bar).
If you re-enable the "classic" display, with the bottom bar, the issue doesn't seem to exist. So, I guess for MIUI, some fast-typing/touching are interpreted as gestures (swipe down-to-up = home, left-to-right = previous...)
In the same registry, I noticed that, if you use a scrollable widget (Google Agenda in planning display) and if you scroll down on it (in order to see the bottom lines for example), MIUI interpret it as a down-to-up gesture (and so, go back to home, or search).
So, I really hope that in a future update, the sensibility of these gestures could be decreased/improved...
For now, you could :
Enable the one-hand mode ok Google Keyboard as proposed by @rodaven (but personnaly, I dislike the fact to have a small keyboard with a lot of lost space around it...)
Disable the full sceen display mode (and so, say goodbye to the gestures feature)
Stay on full screen mode and gestures, get upset when you write a message and pray for un update

I have the gestures disabled because of that but it still happens in the keyboard (I don't like the one-hand mode). So, we need to wait hoping it'll be solved.

In my opinion, it's the same issue.
Due to the full screen/gesture feature, fast multitouches are interpreted as a gesture.
On my video, you could see it.
On the issue from MIUI website, users asked that swipe/gesture are disable over keyboard when it's on-screen.
I think it should be a solution to combine gesture navigation and fast multitouch/type.
Personnaly, I disable full screen/gesture navigation (for now, sadly) and the issue desappear, that's why I'm pretty sure it's a software issue (which concern very model with this feature).
I changed my screen
Actually i cracked my screen and replaced new lcd from aliexpress claimed original. I checked it is JDI. But the touch issues still persist. I think its xiaomi driver.. or i dont know.. i really regret having this phone

Android Q Desktop Mode

Hello Community.
As any of you who did some tests know it is in early state. I am wondering is it not to popular topic? Since I have switched from Galaxy S8+ and I was using Dex OS everyday, it is the feature I miss the most.
I think that it also gives a lot of possibilities for anyone who travels a lot. It is very nice to have a "desktop" in a hotel room on which you can answer emails, or brows internet in desktop mode. All you need is only keyboard, mouse and usb-c to hdmi cable and of course your phone.
I have just tested new Desktop Mode on Android Q(OnePlus 7 Pro) and what can I say?
Not to much.
And here is my question. Does anyone know about some development which is likely in progress or maybe there is any option to port Samsung's Dex OS to other phones?
All I have found is only one guy: Daniel Blandford:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fj2P0omAkek
and what he is showing looks very promising, but still it is only one guy?!?
My dream and ideal solution was razer's project project Linda
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gKu-T13vXs
which was promised to be released along with Razer Phone 2 but in the end was killed.
There is some other solution to lapdocks but for me not to ergonomic in terms of mobility.
I believe that Android as a daily OS is possible and I hope that it will go live soon.
Same here. I tried it, have Bluetooth mouse and foldable keyboard, and really liked how snappy it is! However, there's no way to adjust resolution or font size, which would be the first step toward something really usable. I would like to test the limits of any solution, whenever available.
I discussed with Daniel Blandfort and he told me he currently stopped development of his Flow Desktop because he could not raise any interest and get enought Patreons to keep going unfortunatelly...
Maybe you can use Sentio desktop on your oneplus ? I think it looks better than the current raw android 10 desktop.
Something looking really neat I found is Keydock. It's basically a keyboard-docking station to use desktop mode.
Mod edit: Link removed!
There's a website (Mod edit: Link removed!) where they try to get enought suscribers to launch Keydock on kickstarter
Sentio was a good find and worth trying. However, it didn't work for me. Also, it seems that work on Sentio stopped. Last update was someone last year.

Flow desktop looked awesome, it's a shame if development really has been discontinued.
I wonder how it would have worked, would it have been a custom rom or an app

There is new project named Nexdock. Looks very promising. It's basically a laptop without CPU, GPU. All is based on the phone connected via USB-C cable.
http://nexdock.com/touch/
Here is TK Bay testing this with OnePlus 7 T Pro McLaren
starts at 6:22
But as he mention on his video, OnePlus (Android Q) is still not ready as a full desktop mode (resize open apps, etc), it looks more like basic android desktop.
NexDock with OP 7T Pro McLaren Edition
About a week ago I received my new Nexdock Touch. Great build quality, looks similar to Macbook Air.
Only issue I have found, is a problem with connection and starting Desktop Mode. It sometimes start charge the phone instead lunching Desktop Mode. But when connected, the phone wont charge anymore.
Looks like there is a order in what to connect first, Lapdock with cable, than phone with locked screen.
What works:
+ touch screen
+ tauchpad
+ sound
+ most of the buildin OxygenOS apps
What don't work:
- dimming phone screen, to save battery
- charging the phone while connected
- some other/additional installed apps (like ES Explorer, All in one Toolbox)
- Nova Launcher on extended screen
Some of the issues can be fixed with Taskbar 6.0. This will add additional taskbar on the extedned screen, will fix the issue with dimming phone display to preserve battery.
Taskbar 6.0 with some extra features explained here.
When Camera app is open on the phone, everything slows down, phone is laggy and slow. Word and Excel seems to be in mobile mode, as all is very large on external screen.
This mode helps to improve security, as all data is on one device - mobile phone. This is handy when I'm working in the car, or I need to send email with invoice or even play PUBG
Overall, Desktop Mode is amazing experience, it shows how powerful OnePlus 7T Pro is.
Please add thumb up at OnePlus Ideas 2 for expanding Desktop Mode!

Overall, Desktop Mode is amazing experience, it shows how powerful OnePlus 7T Pro is.
Please add thumb up at OnePlus Ideas 2 for expanding Desktop Mode!

Do you have Nexdock Touch? If so, I have the same problem when connecting cable to Nexdock and than to my phone.
Desktop mode won't turn ON, only I have charging in progres with external screen connected, nothing else works.
So to solve this issue , I need to disconnect the phone by the time charging is started. Than plug the cable back. This may take a moment and few times to unplug and than plug back. Until the charging of the phone won't start, than if you leave it plugged, all start to work.
This must be an issue with Desktop Mode in development state.

This means you have OP7 Pro, right? Not the OP7T Pro
Could be an issue with development state of your Desktop Mode. Try different cable or check if your phone is compatible with connecting keyboard/touchpad through USB-C port.

it should be the same as yours because their have the same type of hardware
i dont really have another cable so i cant tell but i do see similarities with people on the internet about Oneplus phones not working with it for example check this youtube channel
i have the same problem as him
ill try installing your firmware it might do the trick

I have very similar issue. First thing after connecting my NexDock Touch, phone starts to charge, than there is no way I can use keyboard, touchpad or touch screen. No any key on the keyboard works, so no dimming the screen, no volume, no caps lock. Only there is a desktop on external screen.
So I need to unplug the phone and connect it back. After few times, with locking the phone and unlocking, connecting the cable and than disconnecting, Desktop Mode starts to work with all peripheral coming with NexDock Touch.
But than, the phone wont charge anymore. So it's only charging the phone without interaction (external keyboard/touchpad/touch screen) or no charging with everything working fine.
Another issue is Night Mode - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tx3ZqPJeoPs

[sGSI][Testing]Android 10.0 AOSP[24/10/2019]

Hi Guys,
Some of you may remember me if you had a Galaxy S9 or Note 10... I rooted my Note 10+ 5G (N976B) Last night and decided to try and have a stab at getting stock android on there by means of project treble. This is a Semi Generic System Image - meaning it's been/being enhanced specifically for our note devices and less focused towards being cross compatible with other devices.
If you have already tested the existing treble roms you'll know that the back lighting doesn't work and you can't adjust brightness. I've had a play around and I've got a working Android 10 AOSP build with fully working backlighting. I thought I'd share as I'd seen a few people who said they can't get GSI's working.
Download System Image
Gapps are included, the image is not rooted. You can flash Magisk yourself.
How to flash:
Make sure you're on a stock based rom (and rooted/twrped) Dr Ketan posted a good guide for this.
Download the System Image above
Reboot to TWRP
Select Wipe
Slide the bar across the bottom of the screen
Go back to the main TWRP menu and select install
Press "Install Image" at the bottom right.
Select the system image you downloaded and swipe to flash.
Once the GSI boots perform another reboot - for some reason the navbar doesn't start up on first boot.
What's working and not working:
Obviously you lose S-Pen functionality, but can still use it as a stylus. You also lose the ability to use your telephoto and telescopic lenses.
UltraSonic Fingerprint isn't working at the moment, but I'm looking into fixing that.
How can you help me?
Let me know how it's working for the different device models. People on other versions please can you let me know your device vendor fingerprint. (to do this On your device, in adb or Termux app use this command: getprop ro.vendor.build.fingerprint)
Credits:
phhusson - for all the project treble work, this is all thanks to him.
Please please support N976n. ???

It should work, it's semi generic. Give it a try and let me know if it works.
If it doesn't I'll need your device fingerprint.
Good work!
Nice ... you stared to work whit the N10+ , still remember havoc in my N9 was a great time , keep goin Fox
@CodeFox. Thank you so much for your work with this! I booted successfully into Android 10 which is awesome. Installing Magisk was successful as well. Do you have any plans to add mods to this?

Glad to hear it worked for you - can I ask what specific device you're using?
No mods to this really, but right now I'm compiling a AEX pie based sGSI which I'm hoping should have some more improved functionality and potentially the fingerprint sensor working. There's no reason to mod bog standard Android 10, may aswell just use custom roms.

I have N975f. I understand what you mean about keeping it pure. I just like to be able to change the look up. ? Thank you again for bringing this to us.
I managed to get fingerprint working
I seem to have gotten it working by doing a fresh reset, flashing this version of gapps (https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/arm64-bitgapps-q-10-0-0-t3968500), wiped cache/dalvik then rebooted. i dont know if it made a difference or not but i also held my thumb on the sensor for extra long during the initial set up. Did it on N975F

Hmm, Interesting. I will look into it. Thank you.
Thanks (and a quick question)
Thanks for the rom! This works for me on an N975F, including the fingerprint sensor. The only slight nit I have with it is that I can't figure out how to get rid of the cursor showing up on the screen when I use the stylus. Is there any chance there's a way to hide the cursor, or if it can be added? I don't use any other external input devices ever, so I'd be fully satisfied with a way to just disable the cursor globally on my device.

Was there any trick to getting the fingerprint to work?? I've had no joy with it. As soon as I try to register my fingerprint it says there was an enrolment error.
Would this gsi theoretically also fix the s10's brightness issue too?

It did this to me too when I was first setting up the phone, but after it was all set up, I went into the settings to try again, and it worked that time. It didn't show the fingerprint logo during this setup (and it still doesn't on the lock screen), but after a couple tries I was able to estimate correctly where the sensor was. Interestingly, the fingerprint logo does come up in the password manager app I use when I go to unlock it.
Not sure if there are logs that would help or if recording my screen while adding a new fingerprint would be informative, but I'd be happy to do either if that helps you debug in some way.

What's the issue with the S10? The backlight doesn't work?

For what it's worth, all the other GSI's I've tried for the Note 10+ weren't able to adjust the backlight; this is the first one where it just worked. I don't have an S10 to try this out on though, so I have no idea how this ROM would run on it.
LTE working despite phone claiming 3G
One thing I've noticed with this ROM is that the phone claims that it's always only getting 3G rather than LTE and has no bars; however, from doing a speed test on data (with wifi turned off, of course), I got around 8.5 Mbps down, which from a quick Google seems to be will beyond 3G range and into the range that LTE would give. If anyone else thinks they are having issues with getting LTE, I suggest doing a speed test, since you might actually be getting it despite what the phone reports.

Go into your network settings and change the default connection from 3g to LTE/4G/3G.
For some reason it seems to default to 3g preferred.
