It is great to hear that the code at least works, for the most part. I dont have the phone, and there are not too many people that have it to test for me. My code is up at my github, you can see everything there. You can also try my TWRP, since the rom boots, twrp should boot and work too, there are built on the same kernel. I am kinda busy atm, but if you are willing to help i can take another shot at updating it and trying to squash the last bugs. Making a list of what works and what doesn't should help immensely. You can also email zte for the last kernel sources on NX506J, since this is made mostly by hacking together nx505j and the nx506j kitkat kernel, having a kernel source from z7 lollipop should help a lot. Thanks for testing.

Hi.

I have try file you provide me (mixer_paths.xml). Nothing changed. Thanks for your effort anyway.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] SeventyThree:
At previous and last build, bluetooth works not stable.

It makes regular breaks in transmission. 1 sec ok, few sec pause, 1 sec ok ...
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] pchatzop:
For anyone with bt issues, try flashing this in recovery, no wipes needed. Im trying pretty hard to crash the a2dp connection right now and cause the bug, still cannot do it!
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] pchatzop:
K-Ikki, take a look here: https://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/116348-cyanogen-121-encryption-setup-does-not-finish/ . Someone got it working on our phone before, on an old version of paolo's cm13. Maybe it just needs more free blocks?
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] K-Ikki:
Yup, I found that one on Google too, shame on "fastcpu" for never giving out more details, but at least he gives me hope it is possible, haha. I did resize the mmcblk0p23 to 6896000 blocks but still getting same no master key, bad magic, invalid superblock... His post is from January 2016, I will flash the earlier releases and will return feedback ASAP

Thank you very much for the support always!
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] pchatzop:
Well, im sure you found many stuff about cm's encryption model on google(as i did). It seems really finicky, for some it works fine, for others its a total nightmare. Did you try restoring the stock rom first, then changing the partition, and then encrypting?
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] K-Ikki:
Trying CM13 09/01/2016 beta7
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] K-Ikki:
OH JEEZ IT WORKS!!!!

Encryption only works on CM13 beta7 compilation. Storage is decrypted successfully on firstauto reboot but not on next manual reboots.

Took 10 minutes or so to encrypt my empty storage lol (there's just a week I bought this device and already reformatted data, cache, system dozens of times D: )

(if you wanna try for yourself, please first MAKE FULL BACKUP of your storage folders, files and appdata)

Requirements:

1. External SD Card

2. Crypto footer

3. CM13 beta7

4. Secure screen lock (PIN, Pattern, Password)

5. Pchatzop's Ressurecution Remix 5.7.4 and GApps 6 (IN SD CARD)

Steps:

0. Boot to TWRecoveryP

1. Open Advanced > Terminal

2. Enter

umount /dev/block/mmcblk0p23

3. Enter

e2fsck -f /dev/block/mmcblk0p23

4. (this will resize storage LOSING DATA) Enter

resize2fs -f /dev/block/mmcblk0p23 6896000

5. (second data error check just for safety) Enter

e2fsck -f /dev/block/mmcblk0p23

6. Back to TWRP home menu Reboot > System

7. Wait for system bootup

8. Head to Settings > Lock Screen

9. Set a secure screen lock

10. Head back to Settings > Security > Encrypt phone > Encrypt

11. Enter password > Encrypt

12. Wait for a while depending on the size of your used storage.

13. Screen lock input shows upon boot then decrypt successfully THIS TIME ONLY, so head back to TWRP.

14. Have your SD card insert with your ROM and GApps. As of November 24, TWRP builds for the Z7 Max CAN'T decrypt storage so ignore screen lock input and head to TWRP main screen > Wipe > Advanced Wipe > Check CACHE and SYSTEM only!!!

15. TWRP main menu > Install > flash your ROM and GApps > Reboot and decryption input should show and decrypt on every restart, even if you change your password. ;)

NOTE: To Decrypt Data you have to head to TWRP > Wipe > Format Data > Type "yes", meaning you will LOSE ALL DATA TO DECRYPT so BACKUP first.

Thanks!
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] pchatzop:
This post will go in the additional info! It's great you got it working! And even greater you shared it with us, so it can be useful to anyone that wants to use encryption. I will try to get a new twrp built, that can find the footer, if you could be so kind as to test it for me :). Does it work with f2fs?
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] K-Ikki:
No problem! I can test it for sure. Oh, I forgot to test and take report about f2fs. Gonna do it ASAP
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] K-Ikki:
btw, don't know why when flashing zips through your TWRP build, it hangs most of the time at that line: (in attachments)

I did leave the device 20 hours alone but it kept at that line lol, so I have to switch to Paolo's build to flash zips and then switch to your TWRP to format f2fs :silly:

I have a problem with LTE and H+, because after I flashed your ROM I have only 2G. In Poland we use WCDMA so what do I have to do to use your ROM on my mobile.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] pchatzop:
You have to change the network setting of the sim to lte / wcdma / GSM.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] s_hudson:
I tried to do that, but when I choose lte/wcdma/GSM there's no reaction.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] pchatzop:
If you have 2 Sims, you need to set the non data sim to gsm only, and then set your data sim to global or lte /wcdma /gsm. If it still does not work you probably need to set up your apn.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] s_hudson:
Thanks. It helped.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] pchatzop:
First nougat build in the folder, testing now, most stuff works. All credits to paolow8 for actually doing most of the work :). Have fun.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] ckom26:
I've been testing the latest 5.7.4 for a month now and I must say I'm impressed. RR is the most complete and customizable out-of-the-box ROM I've ever tried and it is very well adapted to Z7 Max, so thank you for your work.

Tested and working flawlessly: bluetooth headset and file transfers, 3G data connection, all sensors, IR blaster, all 3 hardware button lights (only the circle light worked with stock 3.89), GPS fixes in 2 seconds... Swell!

I've only noticed a couple of minor issues: third-party dialers (I'm using True Dialer but tested others and they all behave likewise) pass the call operation to the built-in dialer (see logcat). It might have something to do with "BroadcastQueue: Permission Denial: receiving Intent { act=android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE flg=0x30 (has extras) } to com.hb.dialer.free/com.hb.dialer.svc.CallsInterceptor requires android.permission.READ_PRIVILEGED_PHONE_STATE due to sender android (uid 1000)" error, but I'm not very Android-savvy.

Second, the stock AudioFX doesn't affect in any way the sound output when presets are changed. I've installed other variations of it like MaxxAudio and AudioFXBoost for OPO but I was left without sound at all and had to revert.

I should mention that I have xposed running too, however I'm seeing the same dialer and audiofx glitches with it disabled. Also, I'm happy to report that I'm getting easily 2 days worth of battery life with several wifi-and-screen-on hours (and Greenify). All in all, this is a superb ROM! Thanks!
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Andreydroid:
Hello, any chance to make sdcard works like on CM13 or Stock rom , not as outside storage?
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] pchatzop:
Thank you for your kind words. Hope you have a blast(not in the note 7 way :) ) using it. For the dialer issue, thing is i never used any 3rd party dialer, but if its a permission missing and you can not add it via the UI you can use this guide to add it via ADB: https://greenify.uservoice.com/know...o-grant-permissions-required-by-some-features . As the the audiofx, i never used it, first thing i flash after rom,gapps is ARISE Sound Systems Deuteronomy, with Sonophilos tweakprop. Here is a link to my setup: https://mega.nz/#F!F1oxiQTI!QYtgGi3LkDEvKqEZvmSj1g . You need to not have other sound mods installed though, and if you do, you have to dirty flash the rom to remove them. I use deuteronomy 2.1(when 2.3.3 is out) because i think it is the best match for the z7 max for now. Learn more about the sound mod here: http://xdaforums.com/android/software/r-s-e-sound-systems-auditory-research-t3379709 . Installation order is copying all files to the root of the internal storage,install Deuteronomy zip, then tweakprop.zip, then setting the profile Audiophile X from Viper4Arise. Have fun.

As for the sdcard issue, when you insert it in the phone there is a prompt for using it as portable storage, or adopted storage. Pick the adopted option, and it will be formatted as internal and be able to get apps and other stuff installed on it. It will delete all your data on the card, so backup them first. You can also find the format option in Settings/storage.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] pchatzop:
For those trying nougat: SD card support is broken at the moment, sd card mounts and is detected correctly by the system, but only rooted apps can access it by manually pointing to the mount point(/mnt/media_rw/(sdcard id). For those dependant on sd cards or using adoptable storage, stick with marshmallow for now. This is probably a bug in the cyanogen source code and will be fixed in later builds. Everything else works fine with some occasional bug here and there(i would say stable but some apps are just not ready for nougat yet) and battery life is great too. With a new battery i got 6:15 hours SOT over a 14 hour usage scenario from 100% to 0% with wifi,data and pretty high brightness.

Edit: After formatting the sd card with the program "Easy adoptable storage" as full public, it works 100% in both modes(portable and internal).

I'm on 5.8.0-20161228 now and BT problem still appears (sometimes). However there's no break in bt transmission but only sth like noise. Wifi off slightly reduces an effect of noise. On and off Airplane mode solves the problem for a few hours at least. There is no need to restart the phone as for now.

I just go a N7 last week and immediately changed to this rom (v5.7.4 20170106). Everthing except Bluetooth seems to work fine. I read in this thread that there was a bt a2dp issue that was supposedly fixed but I´m still getting no stable connection with my headset (August EP650) all the time. Sometimes even a reboot doesn't help. Airplane mode wont help at all. The error is not really reproducable.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] bibibuba:
I had that same issue - here is how managed to fix it

1. do a complete wipe and install the latest nougat rom

2. install the latest busybox libs

3. install this via recovery

http://www.filedropper.com/cm-btclass2fix

4. restart and check bluetooth connection

you can also try using the same fix for MM roms but I had some issues with it on marshmallow.

you can also try to install this via recovery - didnt work for me but you can try

I updated to Nougat RR-N-v5.8.0-20170117-nx505j-Unofficial. And there where still issues with BT. Not as bad as with MM but still! I then tried what bibibuba suggested but didn´t have any luck.

The other thing is that now that I´m on Nougat I don´t have Xposed and can´t seem to get secure settings to work.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] bibibuba:
did you install busy box ? did you try the second method ?
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] B0IIE:
I installed busy box from the app store prior to flashing the fix. Do I need to do anything else?

And I tried the second method under MM. I will give it a try under N.

One other thing I´m missing in N is the option to disable or modifiy the notification light. Is the setting so well hidden now? I´d like to disable the notification light for one app.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] bibibuba:
Even in Nougat with my fix BT its not working from time to time and i have to put the phone in airplane mode in order to use BT again.

I think you should revert back to Lollipop - paolow8 has build an excellent CM12.1 that doesnt have any BT issues.

I never had any BT issues with CM12.1 - use the latest build V23 and flash the latest baseband - 3.89

you can find the downloads here :

http://www.androidiani.com/forum/zt...m-z7max-android-5-1-1-cm-12-1-unofficial.html

Ps : cm12.1 doesn't support f2fs
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] tomek0768:
BT problem appears when the phone automatically switches network e.g. from 2g to lte. And during change of transmitter (when you travel). No problem when you don't move and have stable network signal or wifi at home.

Do anybody have problem like me???

[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] pchatzop:
A new final build will be up soon, as a Valentine's present for all you guys using this rom(even though i use nougat now :) ) . Call issues should be completely fixed(Used a little of paolo fixes with some of my own, resulted in excellent voice clarity), and the rom had been updated to the january security patch(r78) even though it was not officially supported by resurrection remix. Had to do a manual migration to lineageos base(resurrection remix team did not do that to the marshmallow sources) to get the latest security fixes. On settings, i could set the security patch string to the correct one(01-01-2017) but the rom still reports its r74(its a mistake, its r78 now). Hope you all have a good one, and thank you for supporting me on my first journey in android development!

Hi [MENTION=7008679]pchatzop[/MENTION] I am currently using Paolo's CM14 but I need to encrypt my phone so I am thinking to go back to RR...

I have a couple of questions.

1. Does RR (Android6) supports encryption? I have read on androidiani forum that there is an issue with TWRP...

2. As you said that you are running Androd7, is this still an alpha/beta? I could not find any thread about it. Again, does your Nougat-based ROM supports phone encryption (Paolo's CM14 fails to encrypt)?

Nubia Z7 Max reboot in TWRP

Hi all!! Maybe this is the wrong place for this question but.....I have this problem with my Nubia Z7 Max. I factory reset my phone and now it allways boots in TWRP and would not boot the sistem. Then I made a full wipe except internal and external storage and tried to restore some previous backups but it is still the same. The same thing is with installation of new ROM. Everything goes wright, installation is succes but when I tried to boot the system it keeeps rebooting in TWRP. I tried to restore the original full backup of the ROM that came with the phone but still nothing. I can´t connect it with Nubia Emergency Tool because I can´t boot it to sistem and I have a N.E.T. backup that I made when purchase the phone. For the record, I am not advanced user. What should I do?? Thanks everyone. :o

[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] kekec01:
I tried restore, install clean Rom, even install frash copy of twrp which didn´t succeed because when the phone is off the windows doesn´t recognize the phone. Maybe there is some option in twrp which doesn´t alowed boot to the sistem??
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] pchatzop:
You need to get an EFS and NV backup from twrp, save them to your computer, and then use nubia updater to restore your phone to 3.22. The internal memory is corrupted and only nubia updater can fix it. After you get it to 3.22 reinstall twrp and everything will work as it should.

I believe Paolo's lineageos can not receive official status until he can get the rom working with an enforcing kernel. Unfortunately I am not skilled enough yet to help in that front.

Both are needed to get imei, baseband and other unique identifiers working correctly. The nubia updater may wipe them, therefore it is crucial to have a copy of them.
