Everything is working for me. No xposed. The rom uses magisk to run over the stock rom. Changes can be found in post #1 for the regular ROM, and post #4 for the Magisk ROM.

I did not strip any languages out of the ROM. If they were there stock, they are still there. I saw Russian strings in the apks that I edited/looked through. Not sure if they are everywhere and complete.

Xposed is working fine for me, just install it through the magisk manager, and use the material apk they reference there.

I've tried to install viper4android via magisk. it can download the file, but get an error when trying to install it, and then saying to install it in recovery. wich doesn't work either "error with the file".

So I've tried clean installing 2.1 multiple times and am still having this problem: no root apparently. Not sure what to do at this point; didn't have this prob b4. Any help would be highly appreciated. I have an unlocked bootloader. (Not sure if having this pattern when twrp boots up has anything to do with it, can't seem to remove it.)

I had this problem when I tried to use the Magisk version of the ROM. I have the no-root problem when I try to clean flash 2.1 OR 2.0 with either magisk or superSU. I'm new to the Axon 7 so I could be doing something wrong, but the regular version of the rom installs just fine and all the features work (and I love them!). I just don't get root. I'll live without it for now - my main root app is f.lux and it appears that as long as you make it THINK it has root it actually works just fine. I can live without Greenify for the moment.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] roisuke:
Hello just wanted to shed some light on my experience with this installation process. I'm currently on 7.1.1 nougat. After installing the magisk version of the rom I too was unable to achieve root. Next I tried the regular version of the rom and everything worked as intended, root and all. Searching this thread a couple pages back I believe this has to do with the magisk version not being compatible yet with 7.1.1. In the changelog of the regular version it even mentions the rom being re-based to 7.1.1.

Next is the issue with installing modules, which I also ran into problems with. I found that the selinux mode (which is normally set to "enforcing") needs to be changed to "permissive" first before installing a module. I've confirmed this method to work with the disabled ads version of YouTube module which I installed manually via zip file. Keep in mind that if you use magisk hide the safety net won't pass while selinux is in "permissive" state, it would need to be changed back to "enforcing". Hope this helps and also please feel free to correct me on any of my assumptions, I'm still relatively new at all this and would hate to spread bad advice. :good:

I just got SuperSU working on v2.0 (which I did not have before) by doing the following, in case for some reason anybody else is struggling and this helps. No idea what step here solved my previous problem, but I'm rooted and on Bad Boyz and that makes me satisfied and happy, so this is how I got there if anybody just wants to duplicate my steps.

1) I used the EDL thread to downgrade - installed the complete B15 package, full factory reset

2) Did full setup including app restore, etc. Set up launcher, so on.

3) By the time I finished all of this, was forced to update to B19 using OTA

4) flashed TWRP then SuperSu - it worked

5) made nandroid of system, separate one of data

6) full wipe, flashed Bad Boyz 2.0, chose SuperSU

7) After setup, root is working!

How to get this ROM to work in German? I flashed it but it looks like there are only few languages included...
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] benny3:
BTW the SVN rom and Magisk rom has not been updated. I will get to that here soon. Bear with with me folks

---------- Post added at 12:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 PM ----------

This is based off the 2017U B19 firmware and it does ot support other languages, for some reason ZTE thought it was a good idea to hack the smali up to where a lot mods are not possible. ( And i mean They hack the Hell out of it ).
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] SilentEYE:
You can use the app more locale 2 on playstore.

You have to set the language on every reboot, but 95 percent of the English language will be in German afterwards.

[MENTION=4366089]benny3[/MENTION], I tried clean flashing v2.1 with the "no root" option in Aroma and ended up in a no boot situation. Choosing SuperSU or Magisk allowed the phone to boot. Also, uninstalling SuperSU from the SuperSU app also results in a no boot. Seems the ROM won't boot without root. Not the biggest deal for me since I'm a root user, but just thought I'd share. You guys put so much care and attention to detail in this ROM that it seemed like something you guys might want to know about :)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Erahgon:
This happens because any changes to the system partition triggers dm-verity and the system will not boot.

DrakenFX had posted a flashable zip which disabled dm-verity on our forum, and a bunch of custom kernels have this option.

The zip file I've attached is courtesy of DrakenFX I think. Flash in TWRP recovery.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] JeromeLeung:
This did the trick
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] lilbluemirage:
Does this need to be done everything time when flashing other roms/kernels?

Did this require any type of wipe and/or format?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] JeromeLeung:
I think you need to flash it if the kernel you're using doesn't already disable dm-verity. If you flash a kernel that already has this feature you shouldn't need to flash this anymore.

No, I just flashed it and it worked.

Keyboard for entering encryption PIN?

Very excited to run a custom rom on magisk. Have a A2017G, 7.1.1, installed magisk (v12.0) & the ROM (v2.1). OS starts up and asks me to enter my PIN but there is no keyboard to enter the PIN. Any ideas? Thx.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] NovaChild:
Did you choose one of the keyboards during the AROMA install? It doesn't make you, but if you leave all three blank then nothing will get installed except voice keyboard! I did that one flash (I uncheck EVERYTHING in the debloat screen because I'd rather install them from the play store, but apparently no keyboards is going too far!)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] nujackk:
Had roughly the same problem, amongst many ... I had pin pad but no enter key would just sit there and not unlock... that is when i could get a screen at all.

Can't seem to get magisk working on this, Nor the rom itself anymore. Went back to MM
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] piet8stevens:
A big thank you to both [MENTION=1033093]nujackk[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4194788]NovaChild[/MENTION]. Maybe this should be put in the first post somewhere or even in the aroma selection so that users understand. Getting back from this error takes a lot of time!

Question: I had a nandroid backup of my stock 7.1.1 and thought I could just restore that and then reflash magisk and the rom. But now my phone is stuck on the blue ZTE logo screen. That means my nandroid backup was incomplete. Which partitions must be backed up so that restore puts the phone back into a workable state?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] nujackk:
What I have done successfully on plenty of other phones is to just do a factory reset, then restore just the data partition and then install Rom. Usually works fine.

I have only had success doing that with stock Rom on this phone.

I just did it to go back to MM.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] piet8stevens:
Interesting. That has not seemed to work for me. I am now again on 7.1.1 (B02). Took me again a few hours. But I could not go back to B08. When I tried to flash the DrakenFX zips (from here: https://xdaforums.com/axon-7/development/rom-guide-updates-to-stock-files-via-t3469484), I got an error 7 in TWRP (indicating zip is not compatible with device). How did you go back to MM?

I am trying to get magisk to work now. Will keep you posted. I have spent probably 7 full days trying to get my arms around the A7 and flashing roms and has been very difficult. But I have built up quite some experience and documentation. If you PM me, I can try and help.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] piet8stevens:
I started all over again and definitely picked a keyboard. I also did a factory reset so no encrypted files system is present. Now, it boots into the OS but when I need to enter my wifi password, again I only have the voice keyboard. There must be something else. Point to note: I have used magisk to install the OS. Could that have an influence? I flashed Magisk 12 but the OS setup says it is for Magisk 10.3.

Has anyone on an A7 installed this OS with magisk?

EDIT: I have now selected all 3 keyboards on offer and I can type! OK, I added 3 keyboards, but the swype one was not added - I only have the Google keyboard and the Touchpal one. Before, I would only select the swype keyboard and I then ended up without any keyboard. Maybe small issue with the aroma?

IF YOU'RE HAVING TROUBLES WITH INSTALLING:

My method hasn't failed me yet. I can't provide an explanation but I feel like it's easy to mess something up in the system and for some reason a clean install won't fix it.

I use the following thread: https://xdaforums.com/axon-7/development/edl-emergency-dl-mode-twrp-unlock-t3553514/page29

And flash the FULL B19 image. Then flash twrp through fastboot. Some people recommend 3.0.4 but 3.1 has worked fine for me. (Yes MiFlash requires you to have those drivers even if you have sdk and everything already working) Flashing this will not wipe internal storage. (my paranoid self always took the sim and sd card out during this XD)

After that just do a clean install of the rom.

I've only used the magisk + superSu option in the Aroma. I also place the rom zip in internal storage bc of funky sd card issues. I've never had success using twrp back ups and restore. (no OS installed message from twrp after restore)

If you're still having problems, my only other advice is to re-download the rom and make sure you have a good connection and all that.

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Dodgexander:
I'm not sure what I am doing wrong as it seems others follow the same procedure and don't get a problem.

I own a A2017U and have tried installing this ROM coming from Lineage OS. Whilst installing Lineage OS I had to install both a universal bootloader and the modem for my model (A2017U).

Now after trying to use Bad Boyz I can boot up fine, but there is a problem with the modem/sim detection. I've checked my Sim is correctly inserted and I also checked it is working fine with Lineage OS.

What could I be doing wrong? The only thing I can think I may be doing differently is selecting English UK as the region at setup. Could that cause it?

I've searched around looking for a modem to flash to try and fix the problem but I can only find the one used for Lineage OS and yet heard people in this topic saying it works fine for them!

Edit# Okay I went back to stock B19 and found I still had the problem with signal going on and off. After I updated to b25 the problem went away! The only thing I can think it is something they changed with the b25 modem that for some reason doesn't change when I flash another modem. In the release notes for b25 you can read "modem improvements".

So the question is does this mean I can't use an older stock based rom now? If people upgrading to b25 also face the same problem going back to stock B19 or this rom then is there a way to solve it by flashing a modem.zip explicitly from this rom?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] benny3:
It's best to be on the same firmware version as the software version. And yes you should be able to flash just the modem/radio for your region.

---------- Post added at 08:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:07 AM ----------

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] n1234d:
Haha, yes, problem is I want to upgrade to nougat, and was wondering if the same instant screenshots could be a possible mod that you could help make possible on nougat, that is all :)

Pet peeve of mine
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Dodgexander:
That's the problem I have though, it doesn't matter what bootsect or modem I use, it still gives the problem. I followed instructions to restore stock b19 with stock b19 bootsect and it doesn't work.

I've even tried going between different modem versions and it makes no difference. Something changed for me since being on b25 on stock. Lineage based time work fine with the designated modem.
