Just disable omni switch.

Those apps/launcher u want to remove, these are system apps.If u want to uninstall them ,then u have to delete them from /system/priv-app or /system/app.Or u can use "System app remover" app.But be careful removing some system app may cause system unstable.

Yep LMT launcher has these feature but pie navigation hasn't.
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] reganEZ:
OK. I will disable omni.

Umm. has anyone here removed those apps and faced any problem?

I guess i can setup gestures to run google assistant instead of getting LMT.

[Xiaomi Mi 4i] Garf13LD:
I started with RR Dec 18 rom from MIUI 8 and update to Dec 19.

Note : Dec 21 rom could not past boot animation even after 45 min, so I flash back 19.

1. Battery drained in the morning with alarm running. Phone was on wall charger over nite. Not sure if sleep is affecting charging.

2. Sim 1 has broken data, 2G at best with frequent disconnection when sim2 is inserted. Sim2 is on roaming though.

3. Flash trick is not working after reflash.

4. Easter egg can't find. Do you mean version 5x or the notification 5x?

Thanks for the rom as I was stuck in miserable lollipop for a long time.

umm, guys a quick question,

How do we get OTA update? when I try to check OTA it says cant check.

Flash gapps pico
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] Nachtfalkeaw:
Hi,

It is really weired. This is what I did:

I added it to the power menu.

I rebootet the phone

I tested the flashlight using the power menü and it looks like a warm restart, because I do not have to enter an PIN for my SIM card.

I tested the flashlight the second time and it did reboot the same

I rebootet my phone myself.

I tested flashlight using power menu and it did again reboot

Tried to use the flash within "Open Camera App" but camera app crashed.

tried camera app within Whatsapp with flash and it worked.

Tried to restart "open Camera" but it did not work.

Enabling Flashlight via shortcut menu or poer menu does not work and results in reboot.

After this reboot "Open Camera" app could be opened and flash within is working. Further Flashlight in Power menu is working and flashlight in shortcut menu is working. Flash within Whatsapp camera is working.

So now everything is working but I assume that it will stop working if I am doing anything "wrong" or rebooting.

So for me it means, that it is working in general but it depends how to start/reboot/open phone and apps.

Hope this will help you in some way.

Can't thank you enough man!

Stopped hating my Mi 4i thanks to you - it's gotten a real new lease of life now. Nougat goodness aside, the RAM management is stellar! Feels like I own a much newer and more expensive phone now.

Camera and Flashlight fixed good and proper for me.

Also, camera speed and colour accuracy are stellar, even if sharpness, detail and noise levels have taken a bit of a hit.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] PsyJoe:
First of all, thanks a lot for this guide! But I saw the TWRP image is actually for the A2017U version. I read in the forum that flashing this on the G-version could soft brick your phone.

So the question is, can I just flash this on my A2017G or is there even a version for the european model?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Controllerboy:
Both the aboot.img and the TWRP.img come from A2017U versions. For the moment, we do not know if there is any difference in the aboot file between A2017U and A2017G, but it's highly unlikely. [MENTION=7890973]tennear[/MENTION] sent me a tool to read the partitions on my A2017G and the result showed the partitions were the same as those in the A2017U model.

For the moment, there's only one TWRP version, made for A2017U, but it seems to work on all models. I quote tennear here:

I suspect nearly all bricks on A2017G devices happen when A2017G users use tenfar's tool to unlock the BL. There's a lot of margin for error, for example with the whole COM ports shizzle. I advise not to go down that route. I also advise against trying to flash a rooted image through TWRP without unlocking your bootloader. Especially the command "axon7root.exe -p 4 -b -r" (flashing both boot.img and recovery.img at the same time) seems to kill specifically A2017G devices, that seem to have an extra "DFU" mode, which the A2017 and A2017U devices don't seem to have. A2017G devices get stuck in that mode and there's no way to get them out again.

TL;DR I think the risk isn't in flashing TWRP, but in flashing both boot and recovery at the same time, in the axon7root tool and in flashing a rooted stock rom without unlocking BL.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] HansWursT619:
Thank you for this one thread guide. Should make it a lot easier.

Maybe you can add a few words and links to the B03 files that allow a downgrade from higher versions.

Hi,

So, the backup can be restored, even if we cancel the password? Isn't the backup encrypted than?

Also, when we do swipe to agree to modify the system partition, is flashing SuperSU enough to gain root?

I'm not so much interested in installing a custom ROM (yet) but do want a safe way to gain root.

Thanks for your time and efford,

Edit: And all this is safe (step A) when on B08?

*sigh*

My device manager (Win7 x64) lists my A2017G as QUSB_BULK (and no red led, just a black screen) after reboot to EDL and the axon7tool sais not connected.

Anyone knows whats up with that and how to solve that?

TIA,

Cheerz,

/Cacti
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Controllerboy:
Hi

I don't think "QUSB_BULK" is bad, nor the lack of the red LED. When I did the process on my device it also showed different states at different attempts. I also had to try multiple times before axon7tool detected it.

If I were you, I would try to shut down your device completely, restart and try to boot to EDL again by using command "adb reboot edl". Alternatively, you could try removing your device from USB, then shutting it down, then holding both volume buttons while connecting it to your PC. Some G devices don't boot to EDL this way, but some do.

Just keep trying multiple times. Axon7tool doesn't work in any other mode than EDL, so you can't do any damage by using the tool in a wrong mode.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] le_cactus:
Thanks for the tips, I'll keep trying both methods.

Cheers,

/Cacti
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] le_cactus:
I give up. Or at least at this computer.

Just to be sure, the QDL_BULK/QUSB__BULK, shoild it be an unknown device, one with a yellow exclamation mark? Or should I install a driver for it, and if so where do i find it? Google didn't help me out today :p

I'll try another pc, see if that does work.

Cheers,

/Cacti
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Controllerboy:
I think we've found your problem. There shouldn't be a yellow exclamation mark, your PC should really have drivers for your device. On my PC, this wasn't needed, but can you try to download and open Zadig?

When connected in EDL mode, search for your device by ticking the box "show all devices" (in one of the options dropout links in the top bar). You should see "QUSB_BULK" again. Select "WinUSB drivers" and install those. See if your PC recognises your device in EDL after doing that and try finding it with axon7tool. A reboot of your phone might be needed.

Hi,

i unlock my A2017G b06 with a slightly different way (Starvirus + draken FX TWRP) but i forgot to make a backup of stock rom before flash cm13.

Can you please make a clean one and share it.

Thanks in advance
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] DeJe63:
Thanks for the description.

For your information. As you can see in tennears thread, you can short cut steps 16 - 22 to "axon7tool -r gpt recovery boot". This saves a lot of time and reboots. :D

Also, in the BL unlock steps, "wipe data" most commonly not enough. You need "format data".
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Controllerboy:
Here's the file from DrakenFX: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=68873485&postcount=3

Flash bootstack only once, then flash BO6 stock ZIP. In my experience it doesn't replace TWRP with stock recovery, even when you're not rooted.

Thanks for the tricks. I didn't know you could do all three commands at once. I'll update my guide.

Tutorial looks good and simple, big thanks!
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] DeJe63:
In general it works.

For some reason I was not able to update from DragenFX B06 to OTA B08. So I flashed stock recovery, stock B06, OTA B08 and just flashed back TWRP with axon7tool...and it worked. ;) But it may be that I make some mistakes on the way to B08.

I was at BL unlock before.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] le_cactus:
Hi,

That worked flawlessly on my Win7 box, but I have general USB problems on that device. Got timeouts a few times during the axon7tool -r commands, so I don't dare doing a axon7tool -w command on that machine. So I stepped over to my Win10 x64 machine, but that machine it keeps identifying it as a "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM3) device." :crying: axon7tool -r gives my a "Failed to connect"

Thanks for the help though, much appreciated.

Cheers,

/Cacti
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Controllerboy:
I would agree that it's not a wise idea to write a custom recovery to a phone when the connection between the phone and the PC is unstable.

However, that doesn't solve your problem. Seems like your PC decided to install some drivers that are incompatible with the axon7tool.

Did you already try to uninstall the Qualcomm drivers via device manager and reconnect your device to pc? Did you try Zadig on your win10 machine?

There's a guide on the internet to (temporarily) disable automatic driver installation for new USB devices. Perhaps you could do that and then use Zadig to install WinUSB?

To be honest, if that doesn't work I don't really know other things to try. Except visiting someone you know with a Win7 64bit PC, that is :)
