Lenovo planning another Tango-enabled device for 2017 - Lenovo Phab 2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion

http://www.androidauthority.com/lenovo-tango-2017-736736
General Manager of Android and Chrome at Lenovo, Jeff Merideth recently mentioned that since other companies will be working on new Tango phones for the 2017 year, it only makes sense for Lenovo to do the same. He mentions that since they have already made their first device, if they can make a second generation while others are creating their initial offering, they should be quite a bit ahead of the game.

The company had 6,000 developers purchase the device online and at events since the launch

And where are those devs? I feel like I'm the only person on XDA trying to do something for this device.
Also a total sale of 6k devices makes it depressing when thinking about porting LineageOS, so much work for so little..
I made that super simplified root guide and there were not more then 5-6 people interested
(Sorry just me feeling depressed with myself when thinking about further development for this device)

Thank you very much for your great work. But please tell me what is your main goal of rooting Phab 2 pro? There is no custom rom for our device. So?

I personally root for Xposed and ability to remove any system app I don't want. I also like the ability to run root for add blocking app. I like to back up apps with titanium backup when changing devices. Plus many more like twrp bckp, advanced power menu, color/themed icons etc. Just to name a few.

Thanks I sure appreciate your work I was about to resale when I couldn't get root. Now I am content with the device and that's thanks to you and the Russian Lenovo Forums. Thanks again!!!

Can i ask you what system apps did you remove? I removed with success (no root i disabled for user zero from adb) "user experience" app, but i want to remove all the ****.
Thank you!

[INDEX] Looking for a developer?

[INDEX] Looking for a developer?
Recently, there have been a lot of threads which had the purpose to find developers for the thread starters' projects.
Additionally, you often see people posting their app ideas which is great for developers who are looking for new projects.
To reduce the amount of those threads and to have one place where developers can look for ideas/jobs, I created this thread in collaboration with @QuantumFoam.
Feel free to post your app ideas here or to post if you look for a developer to create an app. It does not matter whether it is a paid or a non-paid job.
Additionally, there will be a list of developers you can contact via PM if you want them to build an app for you.
If you are a developer, send me a PM with a link to your profile. I will add you to the list.
The list of devs:
QuantumFoam
ACdev
sak-venom1997
vijai2011
-=LT-United=- (games only)
EatHeat
sesan2007
coolbud012
jacksparao
Vlath

By the way: We have already got great lists for app testers, translators, designers and marketing experts.
To help decide who to choose, you can create a post here in which you give links to examples of your work. That is your possibility to show why you are the perfect person for the job.
Tips for those who want to post their ideas: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43930866 and the following post
Hi
Good work!

It is not just wanting to be on the portal.
I did not suggest it yet.
Thanks. :good:
However, some ideas came from QuantumFoam. I planned something like this with GODZON a while ago and he wanted to set up a thread but he did not do that yet. So I did it.

If we allow asking for ROM devs, people will come and spam this thread. Nothing against you.

Yeah Definitely keep ROMs and apps separate please. XDA already has thousands of pages for ROMs and such, and we are getting too much ROM stuff running over in here already.

Hi all.
I'm seeking a developer in Perth, WA who I can meet with and discuss an app idea.
Money's on the table.

What is the best way to go about paying developers found on here? I just want to make sure I have all my hens lined up to prevent any complications. I am sure each person will be different, but is there a typical "norm," such as PayPal/Cashier's Check/Bitcoins/Etc?
I know some of the paying sources require a few hoops to jump through, so if there is an odd ball one that the majority use, I just want to make sure it is setup before I go looking for developers!
Thank you.

You could also use gift cards (e.g. Amazon).
It is up to you.
I need an app...a utility I guess you would call it...definitely a groundbreaker
I have an app that I want created, it has a very specific function and will be very useful. It will require knowledge of roms, NV writing, and OTA programming. I have a very planned workflow, and a virtually limitless hardware supply for testing various handsets. This could potentially be a great earner, and I'm also prepared to throw some cash at the project to get someone interested. If any of you feel like you fit that bill, get in touch with me and let's get serious...this app is needed MONTHS AGO and will continue to be needed for a long time & could grow exponentially. If anyone is interested, let's talk & get in business.
Reverse Engineer Instapray app
Hello everyone,
since i don't have a large budget for the app i want , i would like someone to reverse engineer Instapray Android App and make 3-4 small changes in order to suit my needs.
If someone can do it please message PM me or by gmail: kasidisaueb gmail com
Thanks
The next one in the row :fingers-crossed:
Like the topic said, also I am looking for a developer or simply a programmer.
I would prefer someone who acts more as a partner, than someone recruited for money.
I would prefer someone who isn't totally interested in profit. If there is any, we share it 50:50. So I want someone who does it for fun (because I don't believe the revenue would be higher than a few bucks. But perhaps ...).
As an alternative, a student who is satisfied with a very low salary for a few hours could be recruited, but without participation on later revenues.
I will provide the idea, a mockup, a working concept, the graphics, the trade licence and a contract (as a protection for further revenues of two unfamiliar people).
Because I don't have much experience in app development and marketing I am looking for someone, as stated above, who wants to be a partner and isn't interested only in profit.
Perfect would be someone german.
The skill requirements are very low. Only some database knowledge. Perhaps some knowledge about plotting graphs and network synchronisation as a special feature for the app.
Interested? PM me :highfive:

Rom request (Asus Memo pad 10 -me102a)

i think you should look for a topic about your pad in the developing topics, how I wish I could have a cm9 on lg l3 e405
Thats the Problem... There is no topic about this pad ... and not listed in cyanogen(get cm) only memo pad from asus that is listed , is the 10 FHD with dualcore.... But it has different Hardware
Looking for Root for ASUS_MeMO_Pad_10_ME102A
I want to install a VNC server so I can remote into the tablet and help my mom out. The ME102A is a steal at $200 for Qaud core 1.6Ghz it seems to perform pretty well for a $200 10.1. So with Stock 4.2.2 I'd like to get root. I searched and can't find any alternative ROMs or root instructions. A lot for the MeMO Pad 7. There isn't any forum for it I guess - can't understand why ...
Sure this pad has really good performance and batterylife is on heavy use also fine... I havn't test the 3d performance, but i think it's not the first priority on such a big pad... Streaming and browsing arround i'm on 9 hours of battery... With round about 6 hours of screen-on-time... I think it's good enough for this pad .. I hope someone of the devs reading this and will bring up some nice Roms..

This pad is not listed on Asus the site. I registered my device and have access to the kernel code, if needed.

Found directions on Youtube, by searching ME102a root. You have to use a chinese root tool. Disclaimer: I did not try this and I did not post the video, try at your own risk.
I User this tool for rooting , it works... my pad is succsessful rooted... but there is no clockworkmod-recovery to find
This tablet has reached some really good prices lately. Lets spark up some dev interest.
Noticed someone has tried to drum up some interest on transformer forums under the ME301T section but no responses yet (can't post link b/c still noob)
How can i make a systemdump from the pad? Does it work on Windows or must i take Linux(ubuntu)?
I want try to build my own custom Rom...

Go to the about in the settings. From there, go to the Software information, and keep hitting the build number until it starts to count down. This unlocks the developer menu, which you need to enable usb debug (ADB).
Asus ME102a (k00F)
Bumping. If you believe the bench-marking apps it ou-tperforms the Galaxy Tab 10.1 for $100 less. It may be this "Rockchip" processor that's holding it back. Sure would love to see some XDA hero succeed where CM has failed.

I just received the tablet and I am in great love with it so far. i just wish to remove all these unnecessary apps and make it slimmer.
BTW, dose Kingoapp root work for this tablet as well? Thank you.

I'm also interested to see if anyone has tried these. There is also a starting community over at transformerforums.com.
I just got a notification for an OTA update. Should I hold off on the update until I root or should I root first then update? Is there a standard Android practice regarding OTA and root?
I will wait to update ota , maybe root is gone after this..

Wish i would have seen this earlier, but it's too late now.
I did the Asus update which popped up right when i turned the tablet on, then downloaded and ran Kingo One click, and all was rooted and running great in minutes!
So far so good, as long as the problems dont bite me in the butt

I got this tablet from the black friday sale at staples for $149.99 shipped to my house!!! Hard to beat that price for a quadcode 10 inch..
But I will follow advice here and wait for a safer rooting method.
I research and Vroot doesnt seem safe,

Nothing I've seen been looking my self. I've tried a few to no avail. Framaroot, kingo root, towelroot, none of which work.
I also need to root this device. Kitkat is really a pain. SD card is really useless with it. Root can only save my tablet from being tossed. Anyone have discovered root?
Nothing yet! We must wait! XDA is the only i trust from the past!!! For rooting and for they apps for rooted phones and tamplets!
Unfortunately this tab can't be rooted as of now, Tested "King ROOT & One Click". both didn't work, But to be fair let's give it a bit more time for the developers to put on attention, this tab has potential

I have install many games (and unistall them for memory)! Is good! Fast with no lag to anything! The only games i see problem is from Nvidia Tengra or Shield which are not compatible with Samsung Galaxy Tab E!
I agree with your request to the root of this device, I hope that developers will soon find a way.
I do not understand why there are several guides that give kingroot working on this device.
Yea, waiting on root myself.

Those sites you've mentioned are gathering traffic, i tried informing them to stop misleading by sending them a post. So for now i think we should stick to XDA. Hopefully some devs will hear us...
think there is some hope of root?
I'm waiting for this also. This tab comes with 8GB and to use my SD with link2SD i want to root it. But XDA worths the patience so lets hope it will be soon.
Maybe the problem to the root, is due to processor uncommon.

I Don't think it has something to do with the Processor, But who knows? i might be wrong. Anyways it all comes down to the firmware and the attention to the devs who has the unit in hand.

But yes i am thinking of selling my tab, since i have the note 10.1... But still i would love to have my tab "E" rooted.

root zte z798bl?

Any luck yet?
Also interested if anything has come on this device. Seems like a fairly decent phone for the price ($28.99 - Walmart family mobile) but could definitely use a bloatware lesson lol. If it helps at all I unlocked Developer Options (via the usual way) and it has an option to unlock bootloader...can anyone tell me what happens if I do that...lol before I do that?
Thanks in advance for any tips\tricks anyone can share;

Does anyone know what has become of this?
root
ive rooted phones before but there is no rom available for the z798bl.
I have two of these phones and too much free time.
How can i copy the rom to an sdtcard?
Then i guess id need the android equivlent of Interactive Disassembler Pro to make a rooted rom.
IM new at this, Someone Please Tell Me What needs to be done!
I think the problem is as follows:
There is NO stock ROM for the z798bl available on the web
'
I need to root this ***** because wifihotspot sharing is disabled.
Factors:
Marshmallow 6.0.1 with certain service providers BLOCKS data so:
If you have one z798bl with unlimited data
and another z798bl with no data plan
mMking a hotspot to connect the two phones is Blatantly Broken
Just keeping the rom it has, has anyone ever got root privileges on the Z798BL?

I haven't found anything at all either...then my Laptop took a sh*t on my so I've pretty much tabled it for now but as soon as I can I'm going to go ahead and try my best to make a shiny paper weight brick out of a new one...it's $24.88 at Walmart now so if it works then sweet, if not.../shrug...I've wasted more money on way worse things than that in me life lol. As for putting together your own ROM...I'd say go for it...I'm not quite confident enough with the little bit of experience I have so far to try that but if you do I will help any way I can...You might go look at Googles downloads site...you can download Android sdk Suite for developers onto your PC for free...I think its focused on App Development mainly but it comes with a bunch of other cool stuff too, including a virtual phone that is an Android emulator for testing out your experiments. Didn't mean to write a book here lol but please keep me in the loop and I'll return the favor. ✌

SCV39 root (snapdragon)

anyone using this device found a way to root this on android pie?
or a custom rom maybe?
The stock firmware really sucks (full of carrier apps, no bixby voice)
it would really be nice flashing a custom rom for this device so it wouldn't feel like a mid-range samsung phone. LOL

Only a few models are, if your isn't one of them about the only news is don't expect one anytime soon (after you read the quoted portion on another thread asking about rooting I posted in another thread asking about rooting).
Currently no matter how many times it is asked the answer has been the same (so asking is rather pointless). Unfortunately one shouldn't expect that to change as it stands...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79378707&postcount=2
**Side note there should be a sticky/pinned thread at the top of the Q&A topic repeating the answer. Can be a small FAQ thread or something/anything. Figure would help new members for using better thread titles, the search feature of the board (and how to use it in a quick tutorial if necessary), when asking for help some pointers on how to explain the issue/problem and what kind of details they should give (but fail either by mistake, impatience or being unaware).
I also use this device. I have unlocked the bootloader, but until now can't find a way to root. Desperately want to, as too many bloatware in it
