Hello,

After one week using LineageOS 14.1, I am returning back to stock ZTE Nougat A2017GV1.2.0B04 due to important problems found:

- cannot reliably make data connection transfer (fails almost systematically)

- bad signal, periodically 0 (grey) https://xdaforums.com/axon-7/help/cell-signal-bar-grey-reason-t3609538

- incorrect EAP SIM authentication

Other LOS drawbacks:

- no indication of connected Wi-Fi SSID in quick settings

- no indication of data transfer in Wi-Fi or data icon

- no ZTE locker

- no indication in notification bar that battery is in charge

- random close of Nova Launcher

LineageOS has however some advantages over ZTE stock ROM Nougat B04:

- home button could be customized to behave as Menu button which is missing in Nougat => bypass with 'Menu button' app. Edit: better use Mi-Pop.

- power menu enriched => bypass with "Super Reboot" app

- can display clock with seconds => use Analog digital clock widget. Edit: no bypass since widget could not be battery optimized.

- built-in call blocker => bypass with relevant app?

- built-in call recorder => bypass with relevant app?

- could insert digits before dialed number => bypass with another dialer?

- contact image aside contact name => probably use another dialer

- no spyware

- no bloatware

Ok, sorry, did not want to be brazen. I wrongly assumed that with lineageos, all versions were officially released as nightly. Nevermind. Thanks for correction!

Oh its not brazen. Its a community build so you get what you pay for. The thing to do is report the bugs as you come across them if you use it. Its the only way it will improve.

Wanted to give an update to my issues.

Under developer options, I was able to change the default USB settings to MTP. So far no issues.

Via windows, I am able to see the correct storage amount, so it seems there is an issue with LOS reporting storage usage.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] ssirK:
Today's build feels faster, or is it me that is slower today ? ;)

must be the Kryo routines that were added ?

didnt do benchmarks tho

Mmmk

Well, why don't you fix those problems.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] awsomjgp:
Wut...the grey cell icon means you have low signal not no signal. An outline would be no signal. Also you can see the ssid of the WiFi network in the quick settings. ZTE locker is terrible, just use a normal lock screen. And nova launcher has nothing to do with the ROM.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] xtermmin:
Is a notification really needed for something like that? The status bar battery icon changes when it's charging, and the LED will be solid orange while charging and change to green when it's very close to being done charging.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] awsomjgp:
I like to have my notification panel clean (maybe one or two persistent notifications) and that would absolutely ruin the notification panel that i want.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] dnlilas:
I remember choosing battery icon as text (percentage), and then there is no indication of charging in progress.

---------- Post added at 05:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:15 AM ----------

Maybe as I remember the SSID could be seen/selected with full quick settings (big area/several rows in screen). But on normal quick settings (one row), once connected, the Wi-Fi icon do not mention the SSID the phone is connected to as with stock ROM.

Nova Launcher: I use same version of Nova Launcher with stock ROM and it never randomly closes as with LOS. Of course clean install, clean cache, Dalvik cache etc...
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] xtermmin:
Ah, I changed mine to circle, which spins while charging. Either way, there's the LED light anyway.

[MENTION=4911249]Unjustified Dev[/MENTION] - Curious what the hold up is merging the two audio fixes you were working on. The 'Ship our own volume tables' and the 'Correct speaker acdb id'.

Where are you seeing the Kryo routines were added? The changelog on the download page shows the only thing changed was Revert "Fix alarm not firing in memory-pressure situations". It doesn't list any other changes, nothing about Kryo routines.

Oooops, no more mobile signal !

I was using build from May 8th and everything was fine (only known issues like BT staying connected... small things...)

I skipped build 15th of May, and have installed the one from yesterday.

but now I don't have mobile signal any more !? :

- most of the time i don't have any signal (grey empty triangle), where usually it's OK

- sometimes I can see 1 or 2 bars but even I can't call or be called

- LTE appears (and works !) then disappears...

I have tried to go back to build from May 8th but no luck !?

:rolleyes:

any idea please ?

---------- Post added at 08:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:44 AM ----------

ouch! I tried a wipe dalvik cache (Default one) but now fresh LOS install ... till no signal :(

EDIT: well... I m confused now because, after restoring an old LOS Backup + patching the new one, it seems OK now !!! Maybe that was a coincidence with a bad network from my operator !? really I m not sure

Ok, sure, I will do that! Do I adress bugs in this thread or are there other (official?) channels? I am looking forward to give it a try!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] user7743:
If its really a bug and you are not playing with different kernels, then head over to https://jira.lineageos.org and file it as they request.

If people just moan about it on XDA then the developers won't find out about its existence.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Yashbot:
So I'm trying to update my current install of Lineage OS to the latest weekly build via the built-in OS update utility. The .zip downloads, it restarts into twrp, however, the actual update progress does not continue.

I navigated to /data/data/app.data/org.lineageos.updater (from memory, might not be the exact path) and selected the update zip to install manually. When I do this, twrp fails because it says the .zip is corrupted. Any fix for this?

Been using LineageOS 14.1 for about a month on the ZTE Axon 7 - and it works very well.

I did have a similar problem, turned out to be a badly cut SIM from Micro to Nano size.

SIM did not make proper contact or moved - ensure you are using a machine cut SIM.

Since replacing the SIM all good.

>- no indication of connected Wi-Fi SSID in quick settings

>- no indication in notification bar that battery is in charge

This is enabled in settings - See attached for charge indicator looks like.

>- no indication of data transfer in Wi-Fi or data icon

Install an app for this - See attached for speed indicator.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] dnlilas:
Thank you for your input.

But In my case, it is a brand new nano SIM directly in this format (no cut) received from my carrier.

It is the same nano SIM, no change, no plug-out/replug-in, just only replace LOS by stock, the problem disappears.

As I said earlier, if you keep the notification only in one row and not developing quick settings in multiple row, there is no SSID.

Also if you choose text (percentage) for battery, only the percentage is displayed, so no indication of battery in charge.

Issue with calls

I just flashed the latest nightly (5/22) from 5/15 and I cant hear anyone on calling me unless I put it on speakerphone or put on a pair of earphones. Anyone experiencing the same?

Edit: Randomly started working!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] kevinmcmurtrie:
Did you install the A2017UV1.1.0B25 firmware by any chance? That has new Qualcomm firmware that makes the radios unstable on some phones. WiFi and cellular will show erratic signal strength and they won't stay connected.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] sourbear:
Ah thanks. I wonder why they don't put that in the changelog found on the actual download page? Seems to defeat the purpose of a changelog if they aren't going to put all of the changes in it. :confused:
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] user7743:
Each to their own but it must be a PITA to find a new phone with such rigid criteria [emoji23]
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] dwnoel:
Thank you for your concern but no, nothing flashed since 8/05 version, except SU.

Actually, after that episode, I revert to a trwp backup + flash newest version and no more signal instabilities. I got 'only' issue with the preferred network that, I think, has changed in the last 1 or 2 build(s). It was set to ' global' in the choice list but showing LTE. Because of that I was unable to place or get a call because ( I have tried to understand) my operator doesn't support 4g during call. Setting preference to GSM/Wcdma/LTE is fine now.

Thanks anyway

Hi!

Is it any way to get sub working? :) or is it work in unoffical?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Unjustified Dev:
First build based on B25 is done. We have yet to get the kernel updated. I don't think we will merge B25 ,but start from scratch. The dev has some patches and reworks that we want to get done so we are less ZTE by that I mean some stuff isn't really needed or used in Lineage and can pretty much be removed. Audio is of course still a known issue sorry. Hopefully he can address that as well once we get everything updated and working again. Of course updating the base to 7.1.1 broke some things meaning back to ZTE I have to go to request unmodified versions of certain libraries because they crash. But with B25 I will enable wifi calling again once we resolve the current issues. ATT users I can't comment just yet I am with cricket so if I get it working I'll let you all know. I am also an employee there so I'll dig into the system and other phones to look for requirements.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Unjustified Dev:
Just a small update on the build. Everything seems to be fine besides the broken camera and media playback from the music player. Should have it all worked out in a few days or so.

Small Bug I've found thus far.

Hey, amazing rom so far. Loving it so much over mifavor. However, I just wanted to let you know I found a small bug. Not sure what set it off. It goes like this, I was connected to a Bluetooth device and then left into the gym with the phone and used headphones. When I came back I reconnected to blue tooth but no sound would play. So I disconnected Bluetooth phone side and I couldn't change the volume for 15ish seconds as it would show the volume slider until then and lagged all the commands ok have it before then all at once. It was just pretty strange. I'll update if this keeps happening. But again great rom. ALSO, AudioFX lags a bit when switching songs or scrolling. Now I know this used to happen in CM as well I'm just not sure if there's anything I can do to fix that myself.

EDIT-The issue seems to not be happening anymore for now with the strange Bluetooth disconnect.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] user7743:
Has anyone had issues connecting to a car via Bluetooth? My phone seems to pair okay but doesn't actually comment.

The car says connection failed. The phone shows the connection to the car for a split second and then disconnects.

Any ideas?

Issue: crazy loud sound on alarm, notification and ringtones on lowest setting, media sound has a good volume at the lowest setting

what ive done.

unlock bootloader

pushed twrp 3.1.1.0

then flashed:

1_A2017X_B15_Universal_Bootloader.zip

2_A2017G_N_Modem.zip

3_lineage-14.1-20170522-nightly-axon7-signed.zip

4_open_gapps-arm64-7.1-nano-20170523.zip

whats wrong? is that a known bug which gets hidden from the users because first page wont be updated? experience the same with unofficial and official latest Ressurrection Roms ... so as i believe they are based on lineage they have the same problem.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] SantiHurtado:
Not that I know of, sound is pretty stable for me. Even on calls.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] user7743:
I would agree. Compared with my other phones also running LineageOS), notifications on the lowest volume level are still way too loud. I did have a search for this but didn't find anything about it being considered a problem (but I only searched key words and didn't read all 100+ pages). If there were a way to make the lowest notification volume lower, it would be fantastic.

Edited to add: Just tested side by side. Moto X Pure vs Axon 7: both running LineageOS from 22 May. Volume level set to 14% on both (lowest before going to vibrate only more). Playing the same ring tone (same sound file). S4 running a sound meter app.

Moto X: 29dB

Axon 7: 45dB

To get a similar profile on the sound meter app for notification levels, I need to raise the Moto X up to about 70% volume to compare with the readings from the Axon on 14%.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] mumboender:
I have this issue, but only with media. The phone audio connects and no issues, but I can't get media to stream over. If I look at the Bluetooth settings it does exactly what you are saying. It connects and disconnects immediately
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] user7743:
Thanks. I was wondering about deactivating the media and phone book setting for that Bluetooth device to see what happens. I hadn't had time to experiment yet. I'll give it a go over the weekend and see if it helps at all, and if not grab some logs.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] mumboender:
I ended up restoring back to a stock rooted nougat and I still had the problem. So then I flashed the b-19 bootstack and system and started over and now no problem on stock rooted. So not sure what the problem was.

I may wait until the b-25 version comes out before I try again.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] user7743:
So, there are certainly some Bluetooth issues for me.

First, the phone will not connect to my car. As above, it paired but beyond that no connection.

I also have another navigation for my bike. A Garmin unit. The phone connects and works, however there is no phone book sync. No errors, but equally no request on the phone for access to the phone book.

Any smart ideas?

[MENTION=4911249]Unjustified Dev[/MENTION] currently asking this question in regards to other roms using Los base, over 90% of us are currently on b19 with a perfectly working bootloader since the first day we unlocked our device and started using it. The question here is this from understanding Los is looking into putting b25 update (stuff into the current b19 firmware )) how is going to affect us since we all know b25 is ( not) bootable due to stock zte removing the bootloader on b25 update

Just need to be clear on this as most of us with other roms are base on Los..is there anything we need to do to our device
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] olus:
guys, i just need to check this:

my device has los rom.zip with gapps.zip and supersu.zip.

when i update through the built in updater, it just flashes the new rom.zip, but its backuping the gapps. i know from the past on cyanogenmod, there is a script which backups and restores the gapps each flashing.

my problem is: i lose root everytime i flash via updater. i need to restart to recovery and flash supersu.zip. thats annoying.. i had this years ago, downloading with built in updater, but flashing for my own in twrp with adding supersu.zip after adding rom.zip.

but thats not the way it should be.. it should dont remove root when updating!

any solutions? maybe anyone who tweaked the updater script?

or maybe there are no problems with the los built in root via flashable zip?

another thing..

..anyone has random fc's? i have it twice a day with different apps.

Is LineageOS stable on ZTE Axon 7

Hello,

I'm about to buy the ZTE Axon 7, but I'm just wondering about the software (I'm really not fond of MiFavorUi).

I wanted to know if the LineageOS Rom is stable for this phone or if there are some annoying bugs. I would also like to know wich version is best for installing LineageOS : A2017 or A2017G (or there is no difference at all ?).

Thank you very much, your answers will help me a lot.
