Welcome to TB3_710F wiki!

This wiki contains some useful things about building your custom ROM. The target device is a Lenovo TAB3 7 ESSENTIAL (TB3-710F) tablet with wifi & gps only (no SIM card) and a Lollipop 5.0 stock rom (URL to the latest: ...)

The web lacks of custom ROMs for this device, porting is also problematic, so let's try to build one! :-) (The similar device TB3-710I has a different chipset, not mt8127 from MediaTek. However, an earlier version Tab2A710F has also mt8127. And there is also a custom cm-12.1 ROM for that: <URL...>.) The target is a Cyanogenmod-12.1 (~ Lollipop 5.1)

1. Set up a build environment (under linux).
2. Obtain Cyanogenmod-12.1 source from github.
3. Obtain device specific part for the build (create appropriate .repo/local_manifests/TB3_710F_manifest.xml).
4. Obtain proprietary files for the device (from github or from the device itself with adb pull)
5. Make modifications to BoardConfig.mk or device_*mk, etc. (if the build needs it)
6. Build the ROM.
