Hello, usually the best approach is to start with a a device with similar hardware to yours and modify it. Does LineageOS support a device with similar hardware to the tb-7104f? If it does, I would start there. You can look at the proprietary-files.txt for the similar device to see what you'll need to pull out to create your vendor tree.

If there isn't a similar device out there then you have a lot of research and investigation work to do to figure out which vendor files you need. The safest thing is to probably just extract all the vendor files from a running device with the stock build.

I wish I had a better answer, but it really is trial and error and relying on past experience to figure out which files are important if you don't have a similar device available.
