I don't understand these harsh reactions to [MENTION=5082772]Unjustified[/MENTION]Dev closing this thread. Please correct me if I'm wrong [MENTION=5082772]Unjustified[/MENTION]dev, but the closing of the thread doesn't necessarily mean the cessation of development work. As someone who has been watching this thread on a daily basis for updates on development progress, it is quite disappointing to get an email only to check in and see that it is something completely unrelated to development progress. We'd all be better served if we just give the devs their space and let them work their magic. I'm sure they want it done as badly as the rest of us do.

I will hold out hope the we will be rewarded with a CM build from the devs until they definitively state the development has ceased.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] xxBrun0xx:
This ****. This drives devs nuts. Not what this thread is for.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] rczrider:
I think you should until there's something to release. Granted, I think it punishes the ones who are staying on-topic because they actually care, but I've been around long enough to see the benefit of a thread being closed until the OP has something to report back. Gives the obnoxious users time to go find something else to be the topic of their unwanted and unasked-for opinions. And hopefully they'll stay there once the thread re-opens.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] strifej:
It may be better to have a separate thread in the discussion forum outside dev for people to talk about anything non-dev related (not bug report, logcat). Then, link that in the OP, and delete every message in this thread that isn't related to bug reports.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] azam_:
My first comment here, and i think you should lock this thread, its annoying reading useless and irrelevant crap. Maybe open it once its ready for use
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] PalakMi:
I've been watching this thread since the beginning, planed to get the phone because of your hard work. But my question is, if you close this thread, will you stop working on it?!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] bkores:
No of course he will still work on it he just won't allow people to post

Flashed the 20161009 beta on my A7 (yeah, yeah, I know I'm late to the party). Just some observations:

On the bootup screen, there are 4 blue dots/lines on the left-middle part of the screen, and 3 on the right-middle.

Upon getting to the initial setup process, the screen had a very orange tint to it, but it returned to normal after 10 seconds or so.

Someone earlier mentioned crashing/restarting during the wifi portion of the setup process. I had no such issue.

Don't see an option in Settings > Buttons to swap the left and right nav buttons (I personally prefer back on the right). Although I'm guessing you haven't gotten to that yet, as I see a button backlight option in the menu lol

(Main reason I flashed this): Tested out dual-SIM functionality for data, Verizon (SIM1) and T-Mobile (SIM2):

Like the Mifavor ROM, Verizon LTE shows up correctly and works fine. Just like the Mifavor ROM, however, forcing 3G or 1x mode makes the carrier "123456" and the phone thinks it's roaming, requiring me to turn on data roaming. It's probably the same issue with TelephonyManager as the Mifavor ROM (see here). Unlike the stock ROM, however, 1x correctly displays as "1x" instead of "3G".

Additionally, the APN menu does not show up in the Verizon (SIM1) settings, so I can't verify if the correct Verizon APNs are present.

Testing T-Mobile (SIM2), other than the auto-selected APN being incorrect (defaulted to "Brightspot"), things seem to be working fine. Placing a call with SIM1 while SIM2 is select as the data connection seems to work (no audio, so can't verify).

Personal preference, but like the Mifavor ROM, I'd like the option of turning off either SIM card slot. (to help save some battery life when I don't need the other SIM connected)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] celoxocis:
Can't be done in CM. That function/feature is proprietary Qualcomm code and will never be available for an OpenSource project such as CyanogenMod.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] xtermmin:
Ah, bummer, oh well.

Yeah, looks like something qualcomm did starting with Marshmallow.

nevermind
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Unjustified Dev:
Just giving a small update on the progress. Although I said NFC would be last, NFC is working so far and has been tested and successfully beamed a file. GPS is something I will take a stab at a bit later as we needed some more up to date proprietary files which will probably be taken from the Oneplus3. Audio, the main concern, is still giving me issues, but I came across something I haven't noticed on my way to class and that's probably why it fails before it gets started. Hopefully the next build addresses that issue and the audio implementation can be cleaned and support different cases like music playback, voice, voice speaker, etc. For now it just supports speaker output which is the main issue.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Haz3:
[MENTION=4911249]Unjustified Dev[/MENTION] thank you for the update. Thanks for your time and effort!!!!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] NadavCE:
Thanks so much for the update and transparency! Don't sweat it, take your time; you're going above and beyond for a bunch of ingrates like us :silly:
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] blessingme:
:good:Thanks and keep it up Unjustified DEV:good:
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] SirLaughsalot:
Thank you very much for all the hard work and dedication, [MENTION=4911249]Unjustified Dev[/MENTION]! Hopefully ZTE opens up a bit (well, more than they are currently...) with the coming Nougat update. Cheers!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] jongcruz:
Anyone have this?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] DrakenFX:
yeah, thats what happens when you place the CM-Build on your root of the internal storage or SDCard,
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] jongcruz:
I see, thanks
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] yonoshiro:
Thank you for the update Sir. However, please rest assured that we appreciate all of your efforts and we understand that everything that you do and share with us is altruistic in nature. I know you are considering closing this thread but I just wanted to say, no matter what you decide, thank you for your efforts and generosity. It is sincerely appreciated!:good:
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Z-Blade:
Thanks a lot for the update and all of your hard work. Your work is going to make or break my decision to buy the Axon 7, its not released out here in Australia yet and I am in no rush to get one but I am not planning on getting one until you have a stable version of CM. By no means am I saying that I want a stable release ASAP, take your time and I am sure everyone here really appreciates your hard work on this.

How is camera quality? Is there any difference when compared to stock firmware?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] carpler:
I copy-paste here a post of a ZTE employe on the official ZTE USA forum (you can read it here).

So, it seems that something is moving...
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] celoxocis:
I wonder who are those other developers that he mentions? I mean wouldn't unjustifieddev would have heard from them if they really were working on it?

They would not need to start from scratch but simply contribute to the already available github with and by unjustifieddev.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] peramikic:
They might be CM employees since phones were sent to Cyanogen + U-Dev said "now everyone has their phones". Looking at Hax-On github you can see commit by several people, not just U-Dev
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] rczrider:
This.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] DrakenFX:
Well here is a little sneak peek....and be honest can wait to have CM as my daily driver.

Yeah those are On-screen key, CM can switch on the fly from Captive to On-screen.

P.S. Big thanks to [MENTION=4911249]Unjustified Dev[/MENTION]

What a teaser! :D
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Locklear308:
Woohoo! So happy to see things coming together! Great job everyone involved! :D
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] xtermmin:
Flashed the new build (sneaky!).

The blue dots/lines that I mentioned earlier are gone, and it still has an orange/red tint upon getting into the OS, but this time it didn't auto-fix itself. Looks to be caused by LiveDisplay being set to "Automatic" by default (night time hours = LiveDisplay makes it orange/red). When I turn it off it goes back to the normal colors.

On-screen nav bar is very neat! Like the customization options that come with it!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] celoxocis:
You guys don't seem to know how to read github commits properly. So far u-dev has commited 99.9% of the work himself.

S0be did two commits. But he bought the phone himself.

Jcd returned his phone after two weeks.

Commits that say " commited with c457" are cherry-picks by udev.

None of those commits come from 5 different devs that ZTE sent to cyanogen (5 phones were sent).

So the question still stands. Who are the other 5 devs?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] koboltzz:
Don't kill me guys, but have to ask.

This will not run on european version of Axon 7?

Brick it or simply bootloop?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] PalakMi:
It will run on it (according to the dev himslef) but you need an unlocked bootlaoder
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Guido83:
I find interesting that the ZTE Nubia Z11 already has CM running on it (even CM14):

http://www.cyanogenmods.org/forums/topic/nubia-z11-cm14-cyanogenmod-14-nougat-7-0-rom/

May we can get some helpful infrormation from the Dev (XiNGRZ) or is it a completely different story?

Furthermore I found that ZTE needs simply a special unlock command:

ZTE:

$ fastboot -i 0x19d2 oem unlock

as stated here:

http://www.cyanogenmods.org/forums/topic/unlock-bootloader-android-phone-using-fastboot/

But perhaps this is all useless for the Axon 7.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] WesTD:
i've installed. it's working nice. i'll try to help you.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] LanceM:
I hope you are getting the love we all think you are getting Unjustified Dev...

Practice up on your Chinese!

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] peramikic:
Nubia is actually a spun-off company / brand. They are owned by ZTE almost completely but are their own entity so different policy and business plan in regards to things like design, development and locking device or source release. Specs wise Z11 and A7 only seem to share the SoC so not much help in regards to DAC or Camera. OnePlus3 source is probably more helpful for the base board code but it's the proprietary stuff that's not documented and might depend on custom framework in MiFavor.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] ethanscooter:
What do you mean by an audio amplifier? I thought audio doesn't work.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] tabletalker7:
I just tried the 1019 build and it looks beautiful. Moves fast too. Only problem I had (other than audio of course) is in the FXNOW app. Everytime I tried to play a video from it I got a message stating "error during playback". Is that a result of no functional audio?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] DrakenFX:
yup, the FX Stopped working is cuz the audio isn't working....other than that CM is very smooth and super fast
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] azam_:
pretty awesome hope the audio is fixed soon
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] :
Before I could read this I restored the phone to a previous backup I had, and ever since, whenever I try to restore to CM it just gets stuck on the boot screen /: I even tried flashing it again along with Gapps... Idk if this is irrelevant, but I restored it because I was getting endless "com.android.phone" messages. I'll test as soon as I get CM running again
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] DrakenFX:
that's one of the mayor known bugs, as UDev. stated in OP this is not for Daily Driver but just for Debugging/Testing if users desire to help.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] :
Logcat of my stuck-at-boot CM13 http://pastebin.com/eUKHenLW hope it helps,
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Unjustified Dev:
Camera and radio fixed :D
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] reddrago:
Awesome!!! Were there missing vendor libraries or something? Just for learning purposes haha
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] justamar24:
Awesome work man!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Unjustified Dev:
The Ims app caused the radio to crash. The camera failed due to the missing flash library.

Here is another build to play with just remembere still in mmmm I'll say Alpha stage, thanks [MENTION=4911249]Unjustified Dev[/MENTION] for getting things straight one day at a time.

What's working :

- Camera

- Radio

- Bluetooth

- Wifi

What's NOT working:

- Fingerprint

- Audio

- Sensors

- Test and you tell me.

BACKUP IS MANDATORY , IF YOU DON'T DO IT YOU'LL BE SORRY.

To restore back to where you were just Restore Boot-Data-System you'll be good to go.

To install :

- Wipe Cache,Dalvik, Data, System.

- Flash New CM_dkb02 build.

- Reboot

From OP download MINI Gapps or above (I was using mini)

Have Fun :D
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] bkores:
Nice job! Did you fix the constant com.android.phone had stopped message too?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] DrakenFX:
That's was cuz radio wasn't working , check my above post I posted a new build with fixed stuff , still Alpha release but getting there.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] justamar24:
I backed up before flashing the rom but I don't see the backup in the restore section of TWRP. Please someone can help?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] :
Would there be any reason why it doesn't boot if the original ROM isn't installed? I formatted data, have tried to boot several times but no luck.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] DrakenFX:
Try wiping Cache,Dalvik,Data ,system again that's how I do it before flashing CM. Just make sure to have the backup

---------- Post added at 11:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 AM ----------

Are you 100% sure you backup? Check " Select Storage " you probably have the backup in different storage or you thought you did but didn't.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] bkores:
Ok here are the bugs I notice so far in the updated test build:

-wi-fi doesn't work

-Flashing red frame around the screen

-recent apps key doesn't work

-does not quickcharge

-double tap to wake doesn't work
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] justamar24:
I am 100% sure that I backed up than wiped cache, delvik, data, system and installed CM. Not sure where the backup went. If there is no backup than how can I go back?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] DrakenFX:
Weird WiFi not working, cuz works on my side.

-The red frame at the corners is normal in the build cuz is for debugging purposes.

- recent key is indeed not functional (thanks for that)

- haven't try quick charge (been connected to laptop) will try next time.

- double tap I know there is a option to be enable in CM settings have try that my self yet.

But thanks for reporting back this findings.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] spriteboost:
thanks for this :) don't have my zte axon 7 yet going to be here on thursday may test this later when most things work can't wait. Is the camera better than on stock (heard it can be fixable through software releases so just a curiosity if cm makes it better :-o) again thanks for this I wish you good luck getting cm on axon :) glad to have some dev's on this device it'll make it intresting if i decide to say screw the warranty (really want xposed mostly for youtube ad blocks they're getting a little overboard lately on lg v10 company phone so can't root it well don't want to it's not mine lol)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] :
Hey yeah I just tried that several times, no luck. I even got the latest TWRP recovery to make sure it wasn't a glitch within TWRP... (3.0.2-2)If I'm not booting into recovery it either just stays black after the very first ZTE logo, or it shows a tiny part of the Cyanogenmod animation boot, then freezes and just turns itself off.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] DrakenFX:
Manually look into TWRP folder in your internal storage or/and sdcard to see if is there.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] pklee:
When everybody is mentioning audio isn't working, is this a reference to all audio? Or just audio from the front facing speakers? Would Bluetooth audio still function?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] azam_:
i dont think any audio will work, since audio fx just crashes any time u try
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] celoxocis:
I hope audio will be fixed somehow in the future.

What bothers me more is the fact that Cyanogen received 5 phones from ZTE and so far we haven't seen any support from Cyanogen to our hero unjustifieddev.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] k13tas:
Maybe they are working independently, but I don't see a reason why they would :eek:
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] celoxocis:
Yes me neither. It's like reinventing the wheel. When one already has it almost finished.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] WesTD:
all of them, even handset
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Reechings:
I'm really tempted to get this phone after being somewhat underwhelmed by Pixel XL. Is MiFavor decent at all, does it have any theming options? Can you use Substratum on it? I really hope for CM13 and all of the other custom Roms on top of course but is it all or nothing in your guys opinions? Cheers
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] joeanca:
Wrong thread to ask this questions bud. Go under general this is a development thread. Good luck with your choice!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] BableMan:
I've left a few very blunt comments in their forums to that effect and all of them have been deleted or modified, pretty sure that I'll return the phone at 29 days due to their anti dev practices. So much potential ruined by over managing their software :(
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Reechings:
Is it off topic to ask if anyone knows if this project is still actively being worked on? Thanks
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Haz3:
Yes. last update was 12 days ago.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] kdp162:
[MENTION=5082772]Unjustified[/MENTION]Dev has been hard at work daily.. He'll post updates when something is worth updating everyone about
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Haz3:
Think you misread that. Was ment as an answer to the previous post. Sorry for the confusion.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] jongcruz:
We all hope is still active but without ZTE help with Cynogen Rom work progress may take a while. I personally think they unlock the bootloader just to sell the phone and nothing less.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] celoxocis:
At this point I don't think it is an ZTE issue but more likely an Cyanogen issue.

ZTE donated 5 devices to Cyanogen which need to be distributed to 5 devs and nothing so far has happened. They probably still sit in their boxes in the Cyanogen office waiting for the next step.

There is no need from ZTE to initiate communication if those phones haven't been handed out yet.

The problem which really worries me is, time. Because as long as the Axon 7 is ZTE's flagship they might actually stand to their word and help the devs to bring up audio.

But if it takes to long for Cyanogen to get the ball rolling, ZTE will focusing on their next flagship and they will not care much about their old flagship.

Which is what happens to most of the devices out there, once the successor comes into play.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] BableMan:
From what I've read zte is going a weird route where they'll only release overlays and audio drivers to devs who sign an ND and IC agreement and commit to deadlines. That's not open source at all and will keep most devs from wanting to participate, in the cyanogen forums there are also a few threads saying the companies expectations aren't realistic or doable.

I think we're agreeing that all of this should have happened the week after release, not 5 months later.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] :
Are those threads cm dev internal?

I couldn't find any public ones: https://forum.cyanogenmod.org/search/?type=all&q=Axon+7
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] celoxocis:
Could you link the sources for that info?

If this is all true then a CM for the Axon 7 is never happening.

Just when I'm out of my 30 days return...
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] BableMan:
I tracked it back to undocumentable word on the street in cm irc channels, I trust my buddy but I wouldn't expect the community to as well. He's also saying that due to zte's contracts he can't come here and post.

I'd love to hear from unjustified what the experience of working with zte is like.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] celoxocis:
I have a bouncer running in that channel. I might look into the history log. Is your buddy working for ZTE? Because you mentioned he can't disclose it here or did he sign up for what they actually want to get CyanogenMod done?

I too would love to hear word from [MENTION=5082772]Unjustified[/MENTION]dev on the current state of "possible progress with ZTE or not".
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] troyraf:
I don't get it. The people who are working on the ROM, like UDev, seem to be optimistic about it, but these recent posts paint a darker picture.

Unfortunately, I've also went past the 30 day return limit only this week.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] celoxocis:
Without heavy reverse engineering or ZTE's closed sources on the audio drivers there won't be a CM with working audio.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] xgerryx:
Are we relaying these things to the ZTE forums? Considering how slow things seem to move there, we need to keep holding their feet to the fire on this. Apologies for the off topic comment too.
