Why would he continue to waste his resources on 14.1 when 15 is just around the corner? everyone will most likely upgrade anyway.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] UnionBlvd:
I noticed a few other people complaining about "sleep of death" type situation on the newer 14.1 builds, and I too have been experiencing it under specific conditions. Seems to me like it's related to the phone's charger handling in some way. When the battery is at 100% and the phone remains plugged into a Quick Charge-enabled charger, I've experienced numerous SOD/black screen situations where I've had to hold the power button down to reboot. However, I've never had this happen when the phone was unplugged, plugged into a QC-enabled charger at under 100%, or plugged into a non-QC charger at any battery percentage. This is on an A2017U for reference.

I at least wont upgrade in the near future. I agree that we shouldn't put pressure on someone that's basically doing free work for us, but I'm still on stock waiting for the time that I see less (not none, just less) people reporting the same or similar bugs here.

So, again, this is not a post asking for more work, but to note that there are situation where you just want a more stable version, so at least I would appreciate some work on 14.1. Not to mention that if you want to use the official xposed, you're actually limited to Nougat, so upgrading is again not an option.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] KyJelly69:
I'm still on stock too.Waiting for a bug free ROM, i don't care if it's 14.1 or 15. patiently waiting.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] jawz101:
I've been on LOS for over a year. What is your definition of bug free? If you're basing your doubts on random posts claiming issues here don't represent anything legitimate.

As for those claiming lack of device-specific updates- I will concede that it would be a warm fuzzy to see tiny commits here and there for our specific device but it'd essentially amount to tiny generic driver updates if anything, that may or may not actually affect our specific device.

The device tree seems stable and LOS seems stable for quite a long time.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Gases:
I agree completely. LOS is as bug-free as stock was for me. I use RR (which is LOS-based), and aside from the phone call bug (which I fixed using Tasker) I get 0 bugs. The stock ROM worked well and didn't have bugs, but it was hella slow. I absolutely hated it... And it being slow sort of counts as a bug for me.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] UnionBlvd:
You're gonna be waiting forever in that case. I've never used a non-stock ROM that didn't have one bug or another, even on Nexus devices. LOS 14.1 on the Axon7 has some minor annoyances but at the end of the day it's one of the most stable I've ever used, and as others have mentioned stock ROMs also have their own share of bugs (as well as often being out of date in terms of security patches).
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] williamthardy:
I've been on 14.1 and updated weekly with only one issue-that involves the initial setup-but can be worked around. The only problems I've noticed were in the "core ZTE" code. Just updated the bootstack to B32 and 14.1 dated 23 Oct. Everything is now looking perfect. :):)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] jawz101:
Yeah. That's my only minor nag. I just change the update script each update to accept the new trustzone... probably like you do.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] ((RayDar)):
For me, this would mean:

Daydream works. Right now, it is completely broken. Even apps that used to work (such as "Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes") no longer work.

WiFi Hotspot works properly. There is a long-standing bug, even from the Cyanogenmod days, where those who connect to the WiFi Hotspot cannot get to the Internet. The only workaround is to do a reboot.

Bluetooth connectivity issues with Android Wear are resolved. The phone will mysteriously forget that it was paired with a watch and a "Pairing Request" notification is displayed. To make matters worse, if you use your watch to "Smart Unlock" the phone, you have to re-add the watch as a "Trusted Device" each time this happens -- which can be multiple times in one day.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] KyJelly69:
Me too. and the audio muting on calls is a little worrisome too.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] emepher:
I just want one that the dev doesn't have to say this about in the second post of the official thread:

Working:

Audio (Distorted on media playback)

I'm not complaining, just saying that until or unless audio works fully and properly, stock will be the only option for me, as much as it kills me. My biggest disappointment with this phone is that I can't use it to its full potential with a 3rd party ROM, which is solely ZTE's fault. For my next device I'll wait longer and make a better choice. I don't think anyone (at least anyone who cared about high quality audio) knew audio would have been such a headache with the Axon 7.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] rnb.001:
Hi everyone. I bought Axon 7 only for audio features. I am using stock ROM now(no root, just pure B32 on A2017U). Can LOS utilize all audio hardware (DAC and codec) that Axon 7 has same good as stock Android does? Or audio is distorted?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] celticchrys:
If I could fix one bug, this would be it. Sadly, I lack the skills.

---------- Post added at 10:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:17 PM ----------

It is my understanding that LOS uses the special DAC all the time. There is no turning it on and off like on stock. It sounds superb through my nice headphones and when I plug the headphone jack into my home stereo receiver with a patch cable. Music is very clear. I think the audio distortion problems were from earlier on.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] jawz101:
Audio distortion has been fixed since this commit

Before that commit we only had speaker audio through 1 speaker and it was distorted. That commit made the stereo speakers work and the distortion also went away. He just hadn't updated that post after it was resolved.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] emepher:
Goodness gracious, I checked that post a few times but I haven't been keeping up with the thread (obviously) and missed this. Thank you! I was only aware of hacky semi-fixes.

Any guesses what I'll be downloading and spending some quality time with tonight? :D
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] jawz101:
Np. Keep in mind with any non-stock-based ROM you'll lose the fancy Dolby Atmos stuff. This phone has a fancier hardware-based implementation of the Dolby stuff. That is, if you think of trying some of the Dolby packages people put out on XDA, they won't do Atmos like the stock ROM does. Sound is still great- just not all spatial like what Dolby Atmos provides.

And if you're on the latest stock ROM you will get an error when installing the LineageOS zip. Simply edit the zip file with a tiny change in this file:

meta-inf/com/google/android/updater-script

and change the line in that file that says

assert(axon7.verify_trustzone("TZ.BF.4.0.1-00315") == "1")

To

assert(axon7.verify_trustzone("TZ.BF.4.0.1-00325") == "1")

Just have to change the 315 to 325

Unzip installer, edit that file, zip it back up and it'll install without throwing an error.

Unjustified Dev has a check to make sure you're on the latest baseband and when ZTE updated the stock ROM to version B32 it came with a new baseband. Editing that line lets you still install if your phone is on the latest stock ROM.

He was going to get to incorporating this change but there are a bunch more changes from that update than just that little piece that were going to take some time to incorporate.

If you're on stock and fine with it for now you might as well stay on stock until his LOS 15.0 comes out soon. From what I can tell he's incorporating the newer B32 changes into it.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] emepher:
Yes, that much I knew. That's a shame, but only a small one. I can do without Atmos, as long as everything sounds proper otherwise. Flashing latest nightly now.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] emepher:
I did have an encounter with error 7, actually, a trustzone error. I simply reflashed the universal bootloader and all was well. I had done this when I tried Lineage before, and it simply didn't occur to me that coming from Stock again would require flashing it (or I'm assuming that's why it worked for me). Flashing Lineage after doing that went perfectly smoothly.

Now it should only take me a day or two to get everything restored and reset to how I like it, after being on Stock for most of this calendar year. Can't wait to try Adroid Auto with the fancy head unit I just installed. Thanks again for clearing up my misunderstanding about the state of LOS on the Axon 7, I'm happy to be using CM/LOS again! I hope I can come up with something useful to contribute to this thread and the community.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] jawz101:
Those are good points. I get the vibe UnjustifiedDev is aware of at least Daydream issues. I think some of that is addressed in ZTE's B32 update. The discussion a while ago was that the B32 update had a bunch of changes all over and it was going to take a while to split them up into manageable commits because throwing them all in at once caused bugs which made it difficult to isolate the problems.

Then UD joined the ranks of the employed which meant... you know... gettin' tha Benjamins. I'd rather us all be gainfully employed so we can afford our pimp lifestyles. There's nothing sadder than a broke developer.

Greetings everyone. I am having issues with almost no bandwidth over cellular. Speed tests oddly act as if capped at .11mb (yes we are indeed talking like 11k). I can run them over and over and I get the same .11 . I Have tried different boot stacks and am currently on B32. I always show LTE and at decent signal. Wifi appears to be perfectly fine. I have not tried stock yet as I was checking here before I reverted from RR. Thank You
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] MatreyuC:
Checking in as it's been a few months since I've been around here, I got some questions:

Does headphone and speaker audio come out of the AK4490 DAC or the Qualcomm one?

If audio does go through the 4490, how does it compare to stock?

Is the stock Dolby Atmos software integrated yet, or in the works?

If that's 2 no's to the last question, does anyone have a way to install it manually? Not just any Atmos app either, but specifically the Axon 7 version.

---------- Post added at 03:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:13 AM ----------

May be able to live with no Atmos since I leave it off with headphones, but last time I tried this ROM the speakers were trash, normally I have Atmos on for the speakers with all enhancements and bass all the way up. I think they might have even sounded worse than stock with Atmos off, though I couldn't do a side by side comparison of course. Headphone audio is a big deal for me though, the AK4490 and 24bit/192khz support. I hate the stock ROM with a passion but I love the way it sounds...
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] awsomjgp:
The dac is physically connected to the headphone jack iirc. It's identical to the "super" setting or whatever on stock. There are 2 magisk modules for Atmos, use the one from the le pro 3 and not the Lenovo one. Beware, it is much louder than you would expect. It's identical to the a7 one.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] helpmeroot:
The Axon7 dolby magisk module works on the Axon7 now (v3.0). You need to find ahrion's magisk dolby collection post on xda. The loudness is probably caused by that volume leveler setting in dolby; it makes everything super loud
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] awsomjgp:
Ahrions from the magisk repo are what I'm talking about. Even without the leveler it boosts the volume so I'd recommend using v4a to decrease the volume.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] shadorin:
Sorry if this has already been discussed... I did search this rather long thread but I might be have missed it:

A lot of people reported audio problems during calling that could be fixed by turning on/off the speaker phone. These problems were described as calls being muted or audio cutting in and out.

My problem is that audio comes out of both speakers when I make or receive a call. The audio from the bottom speaker is a problem as it is close to the mic and causes a bad echo on the other end of the call. Turning on/off the speaker is also a remedy for this. Any long term solutions for this though?

I am not taking Donations, so why should i advertise it? I just want to share a fix, nothing else... (The Post was meant to give the Light Patch a try which would fix the Bug as proof). But hey, think what You want :)

I will!

I'm willed to do that,well it is quick explained. Our Devices are using Qualcomms Fluence Audio Tech to enable a Noise Cancelling and enhancing dual Mic configuration. The entries for that are located on the build.prop, and as seen on Hundreds of Devices are there Device Specific Configs such as where the Mics are placed (Top/Bottom = Endfire)(Front/Back = Broadside), the Fluencetype (None, Fluence, FluencePro), the Mode Configs (Speaker, Call, Voicecomm, Cam etc.) and some other additional Things. If this Values are not set, or set to wrong Values are appearing Bugs like the Speakerphone Call Bug on our Axon 7. Before i buyed the Device reported some Users that the Patch is fixing the Bug, after buying the Device have i seen and researched about the Bug. The fix is pretty easy, but like everything was it needed to be found first, which can take Years without luck...

So Mister Mimimi alias olus, any Questions left? [MENTION=4911249]Unjustified Dev[/MENTION] , i would like to provide that fix to Linage to fix it on all the ROMs out there. Not sure how, i'm not a AOSP/Git Dev...

I've failed to install the ROM. I'm using TWRP 3.0.4-0. It keeps booting into recovery after I flashed the ROM and stuff. I'm getting the error "Failed to unmount '/data' (Device or resource busy). As it stands, I have no OS installed, just TWRP and it won't allow my to turn off the phone. So I can't format data to ext4 atm. I'm going to try flashing B29 and starting it all over again.

I'd also suggest putting instructions to format data to ext4 in the OP.

Exactly as you described. Audio through headphones and BT is flawless. In call volume is not loud and the robotic voice is gone. Only issue with audio is speakers which frankly if you use them at 80~85% of volume it does not creat distortion

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] jimbo77:
Latest TWRP from jcadduono have some modifications to F2FS, my guess is that probably that kinda confuses the phone as to think it has F2FS when it does not. So by formatting using the same TWRP will correct that confussion, just a guess i might be talking bull**** here lol
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Pointro:
Ah, when I restarted via the TWRP menu, it was a soft reboot. Holding the power button and turning to phone off for a hard reboot fixed it. LOS just booted for the first time now.
