What is it users asking for ETA's , just let Devs. do there thing , pressure don't solve issues and rather may cause more bugs than before.

Just sit tight, relax and when it gets done you'll see an updated download link.

P.S. don't meant to sound rude but asking for a time frame is never a good thing.

Unjustified Dev, thanks so much for your work man. I'm a software developer myself and wish I could help but I've never done any development of this kind.

Wouldn't mind learning though. If anyone has and links for getting started let me know.

Thanks again man. You're awesome! I look forward to the results.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] xxBrun0xx:
I'm also currently trying to learn as much as I can about this process and found this very helpful. It looks pretty old, but I'm guessing a lot of that is still relevant.

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] B4oE:
I agree. I know many people are anxious for their Axon 7 to be running Cyanogenmod, however, asking about the current status of the project so often is not going to bring results faster. It simply just makes people more anxious. Just be patient everyone. We have someone who is working diligently despite all odds. Give him some time. You will all be satisfied in the end (hopefully). :)

To anyone who's used the alpha build, how is the battery life?

The battery life on the stock rom has been a disappointment for me. Getting 4 hours max on medium to heavy usage, with brightness turned down.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] jongcruz:
For me battery life in stock is very decent even on my mid to heavy usage. In the alpha build is similar.

---------- Post added at 05:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:35 AM ----------

So far my experience with this Rom is good. Something to notice is that the screen colors are not as strong as factory build at least in my phone, it looks like LCD. Other thing is the dialer, really laggy. Anything else look good including cell reception and battery life.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Unjustified Dev:
Stock dialer lags because it's trying to play a dial pad tone. If you disable dial pad tones from the sounds settings it'll no longer lag.

Don't worry about that. Once the Pixel XL and its sources are out which has the identical panel we will kang the mdss.

Once kanged it will be on par with the Pixel XL.

So whatever comes for the Pixel XL will be in the CM Axon 7 in the future.

Things like live display, srgb mode, etc

(can't confirm those, just speculation)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] jongcruz:
Time will tell. I'm supposed to receive my Pixel XL on the 27 so if anything is needed I hope I can help.

Yeah that's me
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] clementinox:
So far the rom has been running quite well (used for about half a day) but I returned to stock again for daily use. These are my findings:

The camera crashed on me when switching between video/picture couple times.

The fingerprint reader seems slightly slower than stock B27.

I flashed CM13+GApps and during the setup, if you skip setting up WIFI, the setup widzard would be stuck in a loop. Not sure if thats normal behavior.

Audio through headphones didn't appear to work (could be because sound isn't working yet). I could only hear the bip you get when a failed called doesn't go through.

Otherwise for being still in Beta, its smooth. Good job guys!!

[MENTION=4911249]Unjustified Dev[/MENTION] - I'll join the chorus in saying thanks for working on this. It really is appreciated. I don't know anything about coding and such.

In this thread on the official USA ZTE forum, petershih (that seems a ZTE employee) wrote yesterday:

Sorry, I'm a bit confused: which team is working with ZTE? They tell lies or there are others of which Unjustified Dev is not aware?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Cyberwolf2:
Hmm...I wonder aswell
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] celoxocis:
He just threw in a bone. If they really were working with a team they would come forward and confirm it officially. Because there is absolutely no reason to keep silent about this.

It's even an beneficial marketing tool if they would announce it officially.

My guess is he is a member of the service support staff that heard somewhere internally about the old at&t axon-7 model which is on ice now.

My experience while working for Huawei. A Chinese company works internally kinda like ant's do.

If they get asked about anything (features etc) it is all being acknowledged. If you ask them for confirmation. They don't dare to say anything unless it has been approved from the supervisor. Who again will simply acknowledge but won't confirm it and so on.

Until weeks later from the very top you receive a denial that the feature is not available even though you have a official technical White paper from them listing the feature.

If you show them the official white paper they have no idea why it's in there and redirect you to engineering (if you are lucky).

Who will just say "acknowledge" again and forward it to the supervisor again and again.

I know there are big western corporations that are like that. But in those you usually get someone on the line who will escalate the problem straight to the top and have it handled. Not so in Chinese company's. If you don't follow the chain of command it's like losing your honor and you will have to be beheaded. It's a part of their culture.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] nsane:
I share your fears. I have similar experiences working with Chinese conglomerates.

All that we can do is keep the pressure on the ZTE forums and....

keep our fingers crossed that developers will find a way to get all the hardware working.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] xxBrun0xx:
So here's the thing, this isn't random low-level people telling us they're working with the CM team, this came straight from the VP of software, Jyee. Rather than guessing what they mean by "support", we should instead be trying to reach Steve Kondik for more info. I haven't had any luck posting on his Google+. Maybe someone with Twitter can try reaching him there?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Unjustified Dev:
Steve is not part of the team who's bringing up the device never was as far as I know. I did get ZTE to contact a member from Cyanogen who's also part of the team. It seems their previous contact quit working for the company which is why we never heard back.

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Unjustified Dev:
Members of the team are from Cyanogen. Most members of Cyanogen contribute to CyanogenMod as well. They go through Cyanogen because they are a company a simple individual like me cannot receive source directly.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] nsane:
Unjustified Dev, I am sensing a slightly more optimistic tone from you. Am I wrong?

Regardless, from a user's perspective, all I can do is politely to keep pressuring ZTE on their official boards and patiently wait for developers like you to work their magic.

Keep us updated ;)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] celoxocis:
IMHO it's an "marketing tool" statement.

If he really were a proper VP of software he would not make such a statement without facts.

It's been a month without any new statements no one should take such statements for granted without fundamental facts.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] sourbear:
On that thread on the ZTE USA forum, he posted yesterday morning: "We are indeed working with them and they've assured us that they're working as quickly as possible!"

I replied, asking him: "Who is "Them"? The XDA devs who say they can't get anything from ZTE or someone else?"

He replied this morning, "Folks that work at Cyanogen!"

As a side note, I read last night about Cyanogen and them dumping Cyanogen OS and full blown OS in general. Going for a modular type system where they release (sell?) pieces of the software to companies that might want to use them on their phones. They laid off much of the Cyanogen OS team back in July. Also the article talked about the company COO becoming the CEO and the CEO moving to a glorified sales position they are calling "Executive Board Member".

Signal reception is an issue with this phone? Wifi or LTE or both?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] xxBrun0xx:
This is probably a really stupid question, but has anyone working on this looked at the Chinese factory images and tried to Kang the dac code to work on cm?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] TeutonJon78:
There wouldn't be any DAC code to take out -- the images are the binaries only. The kernel dumps would have the relevant code, but if the code for the DAC is closed source, then it would be in the binary form.

I'm sure the dev's are all over the dumps, as they've been pulling out the binaries for other parts already.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] sourbear:
Both. Many threads at the ZTE USA forum about it. They supposedly fixed it with B27 (for the U.S. model) update but it didn't fix mine.

Firstly, I'm only about a mile and a half, maybe two, from the nearest AT&T/Cricket tower. Here at my house, for cellular signal, my Moto X Pure 90% of the time, I had full bars. The other 10% would be 3 bars. Axon 7, I do good to get 2 bars, usually only have 1. Right now as I type this, I've only got 1 bar. I've had a couple of dropped calls here at home on the Axon 7 as well. Zero on my Moto X Pure. I use Cricket (AT&T) and they throttle LTE speeds to 8mbps and HSPA speeds to 4mbps. Speed tests on my Moto X Pure were always right there at those speeds but the Axon 7, I do good to get 2mbps. Most tests on my Axon 7 have averaged around 1.5mbps.

WiFi. Moto X Pure got my 5ghz WiFi all over the house, usually 4 full bars but at least 3. Axon 7 barely hangs on to 5.0GHz signal if I'm not right around my router. 1 to 2 bars. And my house is small, only 1,000 square feet. Axon 7 does better on 2.4GHz as far as having more signal connection, 3 to full bars, but I've found sometimes I've had to turn off WiFi and back on, on the Axon 7 to reset it because for some reason, it would become painfully slow. Off and back on fixed it.

So yeah, there's definitely issues. Either in the hardware or the software, even after the latest update. All the problems I'm having with the Axon 7, I never had with my Moto X Pure so it can't be my house, location or my WiFi router or internet service. Everything is perfect on one device and sucks on the newest device.

This is one of the reasons why I'm waiting patiently for CyanogenMod. Hopefully that fixes these issues. If it does, that means it's a software problem that ZTE needs to keep trying to fix on their end. If not, that means it's a poorly designed hardware issue.

[MENTION=1101274]sourbear[/MENTION] , [MENTION=4452336]Reechings[/MENTION]

What is it with BARS? signal bars can be manipulated easily per OEM what can't be manipulated are the " dBm " , no matter how many signal bar you have if your dBm is bad ,signal is going to be bad...

Sample. : When i had my LG G4 i had full bars in some places and with the Axon 7 had 2 bars , but when check The REAL signal strength (dBm) the Axon 7 had way better signal than LG G4.

So if you want to compared REAL signal strength DON'T base your self on how many bars you have but instead go to :

All Settings > About Phone > Status > SIM Status ...and check your signal strength there.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] jongcruz:
Is not secret Axon 7 USA have bad reception, it goes no service really easy where others don't. Example : Elevators, baseman, stairs.... Compare to my Moto Z unlocked is a joke.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] sourbear:
Totally correct. I just use bars because that's what most people know.

FYI, my signal strength right now on Axon 7 shows -121 dBm (and 1 bar). Took SIM out, put it back in Moto X Pure and signal shows -82 dBm (and 3 bars).

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] sourbear:
Geez. Because many of us are hoping CM can fix this well known, well documented major issue, among other issues. That's what it has to do with our bad reception. I imagine when trying to build something as complex as a working CM, not every single thing gets remembered. Posts like this also serve as a reminder for devs who may overlook something.

Honestly, there is nothing CM can do in fixing bad reception, it's almost exclusively result of the design and radio firmware. CM will not be able to fix any of that minus for re-scan interval and such in the kernel, but antenna sensitivity is what it is and band/tower acquisition is firmware side, so ....

This may be beneficial for those who want a stock android + current features of Axon7. Please choose the 4th option which is the STOCK ANDROID FLAGSHIP PHONE. Thank you!
