I also check this thread daily, but I have faith that when there's news, they'll post.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] celoxocis:
Work is being done on daily basis. It's just to early for a user build. It will be worth the wait.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] bkores:
Could you at least tell us if it will include all of ZTE's proprietary features such as the Dolby/Hi-Fi audio and the camera optimizations?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] xxBrun0xx:
If things like regular audio don't work now, how can they possibly know if eventually hifi audio will work? Be patient. Our devs are smart, if they had news they thought was worth sharing, they'd be sharing
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] jim262:
It is impossible for to recreate proprietary information without source being shared by ZTE, so the devs must do a lot of reverse engineering to discover much about this phone. Unfortunately, this is a much longer pain staking process and involves a lot of trial and error before we actually have a totally finished product.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] bkores:
I thought ZTE gave them the source code to help them develop the ROM?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] jpde:
I don't think posts like "could you at least do x?" are particularly helpful at the moment. I'm confident that if there are news to share, we will be told about them.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] jim262:
Perhaps not helpful, but not untrue. Proprietary code is not being shared to help community development of this device.

At the end the Developers will the the job.....ZTE and Cynogen joke talks will never give anything to us.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] carpler:
Sorry, perhaps my question is stupid and answered somwhere...

But for me the question is: WHAT it was provided to CM developers by ZTE? I don't understand if they have got access to the code or not. On the web many sites wrote about a collaboration between ZTE and Cyano team, but until now

I never saw a clear answer to this question...
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Unjustified Dev:
Probably shouldn't share this info but before launch there was an Axon 7 with CyanogenOS said to be released on AT&T. This never happened that version of the Axon 7 differs from the models we all have now. They have code for that model but although they do NFC and Audio didn't work anyway. So basically it's useless but not all that useless.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] malditos:
Hey guys, I started this thread... does this mean that COS is working on an official release and if so are you involved Udev?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Locklear308:
Yes listen to brun here. Trust me I'm super thrilled for this phone's hardware, and aosp/cm will just make it perfect. Instant buy for me. But we gotta be patient. This stuff isn't easy. I suggest dropping the dev a few bucks via donation to help out. Even if you don't have much, just enough money for a candy bar and a "thank you for your hard work!" message seriously go a long way. It means a lot to me when someone donates or says "thank you so much man!!!" when I am adding things and working on my audio project here at XDA. So let's give them some props and support! And some space lol
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Unjustified Dev:
Nope Cyngn Inc is closing down as far as I know. The comment in that thread answers your question as well.

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] masong397:
While the need for Xposed is valid reason, I'm afraid you won't be able to get any help. All the devs are working on nougat now. If you need Xposed, you will have to deal with the issues or use stock

How well will this tomorrow fit a ZTE MAX? A question that doesn't sound too ignorant.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] ChazzMatt:
If you're asking will this ZTE Axon 7 ROM work on ZTE Max, no. The only reason it would be considered an "ignorant" question is because you are not informed about how ROMs work? ROMs are device specific.

Go here and see these two devices do not share the same processor, nor resolution, RAM, type of display, nor any other specs. Two completely different devices made by ZTE.

http://www.phonearena.com/phones/compare/ZTE-Max,ZTE-Axon-7/phones/8356,10068
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] jVolf22:
Thanks still in learning.often wondered what would it do.really I hoped it would produce axon 7 results but thought I'd ask first.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] ChazzMatt:
At least you asked first. And please note I wasn't calling you "ignorant". You first used the term in your own question, and I then used it in my reply -- just to confirm your usage, as in "uneducated". Has nothing to do with intelligence. You can only learn by asking questions, like you have done.

ROMs are device specific. While a developer can "port" a ROM to another device, they have to use a different kernel that is specific for that different device.

For instance the 2014 Moto "Shamu" Nexus 6 and the 2014 Moto Quark (XT1254/XT1250/XT1225) are close siblings.

(The Droid Turbo XT1254 is one of the Quarks, if you've heard of that phone. I have the Moto Maxx XT1225, one of the others.)

Both the Moto Nexus 6 (code name Shamu) and the Quarks share 95% same hardware specs, and both phones were released same time. In fact, the Quark is basically a 5.2" Nexus 6... Which is why I bought it, as the NEXUS 6 is too big.

Same manufacturer, same 1440p AMOLED display, same Snapdragon 805, same 3GB RAM, same Qi wireless charging, same TURBO charging. Same Moto IR sensors. Same internal storage, Etc.

And YET you cannot cross flash ROMS. Because they aren't the same device.

By the way, my smaller phone has a larger battery. 3900 mAh battery in the 5.2" Moto QUARK. Bigger than the battery Google put in the 6" Moto Nexus 6. ;)

Let's get to it
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Locklear308:
Really? Not surprised by that... hopefully they just go back to being modders.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] jongcruz:
Meanwhile I'll take a walk with Google Pixel until Cyogenmod and ZTE put their "politics" together.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] rczrider:
Let us know if spending literally twice as much money is worth it! I don't mean that sarcastically; I'm genuinely interested in whether you think you get an extra $500 in value out of a Pixel phone. I'm assuming you're going with something comparable to the Axon 7, so 5.5" and 128GB (because we all know 32GB and no microSD slot is is laughable).
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] istperson:
It is. This summer I was two weeks on a holiday abroad in a resort with sketchy wifi hotspots. I didn't want to spend extra money for data roaming, so I used the wifi whenever it worked to cache my favourite albums, and my books, and because I was taking a lot of pictures (and zero videos, btw) the free space fell under 2GB in a week, so I had to delete the games I wasn't playing at the time, the some music I wasn't listening to that much, and a couple of things here and there to have some free space for the pictures. OTG is crappy on the Necus 6, so I stopped trying to insert new thumb drives and try to copy things.

So yeah, 32GB, and no SD card, where you can't "cloud" your stuff is crappy.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] rczrider:
Yup. I've been there, done that. I would buy a phone with no microSD slot as long as the storage is sufficient. 64GB gives me pause, but I'd be comfortable with 128GB. I can't imagine dropping $900 on a phone and NOT using the camera, taking videos, playing games, listening to music, and ROM'ing, so buying a non-expandable 32GB phone is just short-sighted. This isn't 2012.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Xshooter726:
Any chance we'll get an updated test build to play around with? Or will it release straight to stable status?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Jose-MXL:
I'm thinking the same, [MENTION=4911249]Unjustified Dev[/MENTION] ; we are up for a test build, if you guys have GPS/compass, audio, camera, and radios/wifi working, who cares about NFC, fingerprint sensors, bluetooth issues or capacitive keys, a test build with those elements would actually be an acceptable daily driver for me...
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] jongcruz:
Everyone have their own scenario so in my case I keep all my stuff on the cloud plus I'm not a gamer. Also remember google is giving with pixel unlimited cloud storage at full quality for pics and videos up-to 4k. I'm also getting the Moto Z GSM unlocked and I'm currently using T-mobile and At&t so I carry 2 phones all the time. As you can see everyone have their own scenario. Yes the Pixel is really over priced for what it is and offer, even the iPhone 7 is better equipped but I just getting it for testing purposes no exactly as a daily driver. :silly:
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] xxBrun0xx:
4 days ago, Unjustified Dev implied audio still wasn't working. Think that's pretty important for pretty much everybody.

I built it a couple nights ago and yes audio is still broken
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] KyJelly69:
were there many commits since first release?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] kdp162:
I haven't seen anything committed since Sept 15.. I'm building from another teams git that seems to be more updated
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] DrakenFX:
Is it Hax-on by any change?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] kdp162:
Yes it is, they just patched in new audio blobs a few hours ago.. Gonna rest build it tonight
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] DrakenFX:
Just FYI Hax-On = [MENTION=4911249]Unjustified Dev[/MENTION] + Someone else which i can't recall his name :D

And yeah that patch was UDev. His been working on it since this morning.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] kdp162:
So Team Regular has been abandoned then??
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] DrakenFX:
Mmmmmm i see you don't know much [MENTION=4911249]Unjustified Dev[/MENTION] so, He is Team Regular and Hax-On is well a git created by the users working on Axon 7

By any chance you are able to logcat in your build?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] kdp162:
I don't know, haven't tried yet.. I have a build running now. I'll test it and grab a log
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] QAM:
Hola Unjustified Dev

Just wanted to take a moment and express my thanks to you and others who are committing valuable time, effort, and money towards developing a CM port for this phone. Mucho gracias senor.

I read that you had exams and school work recently to be completed. Again can't express my personal thanks enough for the sacrifices folks like you make. :good:
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] kdp162:
Tried to grab a log but catlog and alogcat were blank.. I'll try an eng build later tonight or tomorrow
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Unjustified Dev:
Your probably suffering like me and the other devs as well. For some reason logcat is giving us read failure. Luckily [MENTION=3044858]DrakenFX[/MENTION] builds work just fine which is really making it hard to debug since none of my builds have logcat working.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] kdp162:
I assume you already tried the eng build then?? Just so i don't waste my time
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Unjustified Dev:
I always build in eng until I'm going to release on here.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] kdp162:
Well the problem is def kernel related... Not sure why his work though if he's using the same tree. One of our guys rewrote some hw audio libs for me to try... I'll build with those tomorrow
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] celoxocis:
Might be due to some changes made?

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/39499077/adb-logcat-returns-logcat-read-failure

It's probably not arise but could be related to the sound system changes.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] devsk:
may be logd is crashing for some reason. Permissions issue?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Unjustified Dev:
Wouldn't make sense because he builds the exact same source as I. I'm thinking it's a clang issue with my computer.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] devsk:
but it wouldn't hurt to check if logd is still running. And may be fire it from command line through adb shell to see why its crashing. If its crashing...:)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] jongcruz:
I see you guys are putting a lot of effort to pull this out without much luck. The question is why no one had tried to make a better feature ROM from sock? I know someone may say that we don't have full factory images but it is impossible to do anything without them ? Because I see a lot of restoration ways already for this phone so aren't those files enough to build a ROM? Thanks
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] celoxocis:
I haven't received my A2017U so I can't run any debugs/tests yet. One more idea would be trying loggy. See if that gives any output.

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] nsane:
Fantastic work Man!

Thank you very much for all your work

I have my fingers crossed that ZTE gives you and all other Devs full access to source
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] ChazzMatt:
ZTE should realize the hardware specs of this device puts Google's Pixel XL to shame. And the $400 price vs $870 for Pixel XL? Double walk of shame for Google!

By helping devs ZTE will cement their newly won reputation for excellent value.

It's in ZTE's best interests, just like providing the bootloader unlock.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] ethanscooter:
Update?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] kdp162:
Build failed.. All the Dolby crap needs proprietary headers... Won't be any Dolby in Axon Roms unless someone proves me wrong
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] nsane:
Shame! I hope that you will have better luck with your next attempt.

With regard to Dolby, the problem with these "quirky" features is that they do not work in community developed ROMs. Reminds me of BoomSound on HTC M7...

However, personally, I would be happy if audio worked even without Dobly. Over time, audio mods will appear anyway.

I wish that ZTE realised that they could comfortably eat into the OPO3 market if they gave Axon 7 devs the same level of source code access.

ZTE Reps announced that they were working with Steve Kondik and Cyanogen Team on September 19th.....

I am perfectly fine with waiting. I jut wish we knew whether ZTE is actually working with DEVs.

Frustrating.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Unjustified Dev:
They didn't tell the whole truth. By working they meant previously because there was an Axon 7 with CyanogenOS but never released. The code from this model was 8 months ago. So much has changed since then it's pretty much useless. There has been no new attempts to provide code from the model we all have now as of yet.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] jongcruz:
Thanks God Dolby is not a most, Viper can perfectly do the magic once audio works.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] kdp162:
Gonna take someone a lot smarter than I lol
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] nsane:
Ok. This is really worrisome.

I only recently purchased my Axon 7.

Unjustified Dev, do you think there is a good chance that we will ever get CM working on this device?

Or do you think that this might be another one of "dead" devices for the community?

Regardless, thank you very much for all your work. You have kept the hope alive for everyone so far.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Harry44:
I have literally just started following the Axon. Why is there such little development or progress? Is ZTE withholding srcs? I am surprised to see a device with an unlock able BL with such little development. I was considering picking one up to build CM but now I don't know.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] *mj13*:
I'm no expert by any means, but as long as sound gets working, the end user can flash the variety of Dolby ports available on xda. So I feel at least there is still a strong chance of getting a functional CM build one day. The akm dac doesn't need a baked in Dolby to function.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] nsane:
HI Harry!

I hope you do decide to get an Axon 7.

Apparently, ZTE is being ambiguous and not providing sufficient access, despite allowing for the unlocking of the bootloader.

It would be nice to have another developer working on the Axon 7, maybe you could get something going with Unjustified Dev

Btw, the phone itself is an absolute beauty. The hardware is far superior to the OPO3, with the exception of the camera.

Keep us updated!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Reechings:
Sad to see the issues coming up with development for this device. Hardware wise this phone seems to be a winner but I am done with closed source BS. The Pixel better be dev friendly if they expect me to pay what they are asking.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] celoxocis:
I agree we should focus on getting CM to the device without Dolby first. Dolby can be added later in time or people who really need it, could use a twrp with dualboot and simply boot into the stock ROM when required.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] psyfer5:
I quite agree. That article pushed me off of the fence between this and the OP3. I don't mind waiting, I just want to know there is some communication going on between ZTE and the CM community. I mean how bad with this phone be with a fully functional CM 13 or 14 on it.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] nsane:
There is a CM thread on the official ZTE forums.

https://community.zteusa.com/thread/12443

In the past, when people made noise, it prompted an answer from the ZTE community reps. In my opinion, the best course of action is to keep on chasing the issue on their official boards. Politely, of course.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Harry44:
Working on getting one now.

I agree, this device could be a winner. The Verizon Pixel will be a no go for development. Hopefully the other Pixels will be unlockable.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Unjustified Dev:
As before and as I proved, whether or not they help I will find a way to fix things. Audio is close probably will take about two days to get it running. GPS and then NFC will follow. I have low hopes for NFC since I don't use it.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] *mj13*:

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Unjustified Dev:
I've tested pretty much everything. Let me know if you can produce any crashes. It's pretty darn smooth but with no audio I couldn't test battery life.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] clementinox:
I am assuming since sound doesn't work calls wouldn't be possible even with headphones?

I can use another device for calls during testing if that's the case.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Unjustified Dev:
Calls work with 3 piece earphones or headphones only. Not sure if mic works but it should. The audio problem is only with the amp it's not enabled.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] nsane:
Unjustified Dev, fantastic attitude man!

I wish I could help in some way, but my coding skills are non-existent.

I will try your test builds as soon as soon as possible!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] ethanscooter:
As we're getting farther into development. How long do you think we can have a build w/ working audio?
