Hey all

I'm 90 pages in looking for instructions on how to return to stock. I've got a screen issue and need to re lock to access a warranty repair.

Bloomin phones! ?

Is there a tutorial to do that?

14.1 is Laggy for me with Radioactive Kernel. Suggestions?

Went from stock to 14.1 and then flashed Radioactive kernel. The device was completely nuked before I did this. I'm only 36 hours into this and today was first day out in the wild with it. The device was definitely laggy with receiving phone calls, but also launching Google maps. I did no specific kernel or OS tweaks.. just whatever came out of the box.

Should I try a different kernel? go back to stock kernel?

I'm new to mucking with Axon 7 as I was running stock for last year.

---------- Post added at 06:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:46 PM ----------

If this is a bad place to post this, please suggest a better one.

I installed 14.1 and then flashed: open_gapps-arm64-7.1-full-20180303.zip

I let the phone do all the updates and checked the permissions for Gmail, Calendar, and Contacts and they seem set properly; however, in Gmail, the addresses of known contacts don't populate on a new email or forward. Similarly the Calendar won't let me choose invitees for a meeting. Contacts and Calendar are properly synced.

Should I try a newer version of Gapps? and will that work with 14.1?

In LineageOS ChangeLog is present this note:

So, it's seems that AK4490 HIFI DAC is already enabled in LineageOS. But I'm not sure of this, and in another thread seems that to enable it you need to flash a patch:

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Choose an username...:
yes there are, they are on the LOS 15 thread on the Guides section
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] haerwu:
Looked, will stay on 14.1 until anything more official or regular appear.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Choose an username...:
it's much more complicated than that, the short version is that ZTE gave them the proprietary blobs a buncha time ago but they want to release it only after zte releases official U firmware to avoid any legal problem with them
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] haerwu:
Yeah, I remember such discussions. I suspect that if nothing changes from ZTE side in next 2-3 months then we will stay with 14.1 forever. And there are not so many changes there recently too.

I'm looking to install LOS on my device later on today, as I understood from previous posts that DAC and dual speakers work perfectly as of now? if so, since there are a lot of methods, what is the best way to do it using the latest files like bootstack, modems, twrp, etc? I have the A2017G
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] mameenbh:
I finally got LOS to work and it's a great ROM only one major, when connecting the AUX to the car I still get distorion at max level and have to get back 3 steps from max volume for it to work, did anyone get a fix? btw, this issue was on the stock rom too and dac seems to be working :D

Hello!

I've had my Axon 7 for about half an year now and I feel like moving over to a custom ROM.

I have just one question please. If I would switch to Lineage today, will I be able to upgrade to Oreo directly when it's live?

I am pondering if I should stay stock to get Oreo upgrade from ZTE or get it with LoS 15. Please advise :)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] kingracer:
It's only your choice, but if you're satisfied with stock - stay with it. If not - them switch and when oreo arrive - you'll be able to flash it via twrp when somebody build it (it will be built by someone definitely)

Hello again, I have installed LineageOS successfully today and I am amazed by how smooth it runs. Maybe it's placebo but the battery seems to drain slower too, I need more time with it to be sure.

I have another question please: I noticed that after flashing the bootloader, my TWRP was replaced with a custom version. Should I keep it or should I flash the latest official TWRP?

PS: second post in this thread mentions that the audio does not work well? Maybe that should be updated because the audio is perfect for me on both speakers and headphones.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] OrdenKrieger:
Update to the latest official TWRP. That one you got now isn't working right.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] jason dean:
Yes
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] ls117:
My idle drain with this rom has always been ridiculous. Almost 70% of the battery gone in 7 hours off the charger, and I did nothing the whole time. Lineage os drains the battery the mosts when I check the battery usage, 349 mah while the phone isn't even being used, followed by Android os at 286. I have no idea how you guys get those amazing battery hours because I can barely get 2 or 3 before having to charge. Especially if I'm listening to music(v4a), but even so I remember it not being that bad on my opo. I expected better somewhat with the axon 7
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Choose an username...:
of course you should expect better since everybody else has good battery life lol. Since you're saying that the drain is of about 500 ma you should also check the battery health, because it may be shot. Just use accubattery for that.

you didn't have that drain on other ROMs, right?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] xperiaatic:

My Axon 7 A2017U was bricked after the April Update. Didn't boot in OS. With Dalvik and cashe wipe also no boot to OS... :(

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] ls117:
I have no idea what it could be. I use Xposed, magisk, v4a, and not much else. When I listen to music it's always at Max volume so I don't complain about the drain there. Kernel is unchanged. Outside of what I already mentioned I keep my usage pretty basic, which is why I don't understand the massive idle drain. Accubattery has my battery at 80% capacity after 19 charging sessions, I made sure to actually use it so I'd have a better idea of what's going on. All in all there's not much information to give because I don't do much to my phone.

Daydream

When I had Lineage OS 14.1 on my Axon 7 a few months ago my Daydream was very jittery. Has anyone used a Daydream with the latest or a recent build? Is it still the same?

Side note- I loaded Linage OS 15.1 on my Nexus 6. Loving it. Can't wait for the Axon 7 to get it.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] bongo264:

Apologies for off-topic, but what do you think of:

ZTE can no longer use Qualcomm chips in smartphones, threatening the Axon 9’s existence.

Especially for those of you planning on buying an Axon 8/9 in 2018 :(
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] voetbalremco:
They can't use Quallcomm SoC's any more, and it itsn't only limited to hardware, but software as well.

They aren't allowed to use the Google framework in Android as well. Same goes for Dolby.

If this ban stays I don't see any reason ZTE can continue to sell their products internationally at all.

They might have to focus on China with MediaTek SoC's and 3rd party app stores...

Since we already have the Axon 7 with great community support which this rom as an example we should be fine.

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] soleen:
Sorry if this has been answered. just wondering when will we get an official LOS15 ? I've upgraded from Official LOS14 to Unofficial Nfound LOS15 build, and have been using it without any issues whatsoever except for absence of over air updates.

LOS15 feels much faster.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Cablespider:
Asking for an ETA is generally frowned upon and against the rules. Until an official announcement is made, it's anyones guess. In the meantime, people wait patiently for that day.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] soleen:
Thank you for your reply. I should have explained myself better. In my experience a device does not get an official LOS support only if there is something broken or no developer is available. So, I am trying to figure out what exectly is holding back from getting LOS15. Are we waiting for some specific feature to be fixed, or something else?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] gld59:
I've seen somewhere (reddit?) that it's pretty much ready to release, but was being held back as a courtesy until ZTE released official Oreo builds. I assume everyone is still trying to figure out exactly what can / will happen with ZTE releases. Once the dust settles we'll probably get either a continuation of ZTE's schedule or an independent LOS release.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] gregfrankenstein:
Wait, what? Really? I wasn't going to ask about an ETA, but that's the reason?

One of the biggest reasons I run LOS in the first place is because it beats ZTE's sluggish update cycle, and ZTE might lose their Android license altogether after the whole "selling to Iran" thing.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] kdp162:
Los 15.1 uses official ZTE Blobs that are not allowed to be released until ZTE officially releases 8.0-8.1
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] soleen:
Ok, this makes sense. But, imo now that zte is banned from the usa, it is a moot point.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] htsmi:
Ok, I need a little more explanation of the custom bootloader/modem situation. I'm only reading vague references to blobs, trustzone, etc. The LineageOS official install page doesn't mention any of this, but it appears it has the same dependencies. I have currently circumvented the checks so I don't have to run the ancient bootloader and modem, and it seems to work fine that way. But I have to either modify the zip file or flash and re-flash modem and bootloader each time I update. I haven't seen this on any other LineageOS device.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] OrdenKrieger:
Then keep the right bootstack + modem for this builds.

So what r u guys waiting on ?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] htsmi:
Ok, just curious for an explanation. I haven't used LineageOS any other device that requires me to downgrade the phone's firmware in order to work properly. My understanding was these components were semi-independent.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] OrdenKrieger:
But the builds are based on blobs which where extracted from the stock rom of that bootstack. So to avoid any possible mismatches try to stay on that bootstack. There is no big difference anyways.

What are you talking about?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] nfsmw_gr:
I think he's talking about what are you waiting for and not releasing LOS 15 since you don't have any communication from ZTE right now.

So I am on the latest LOS 14.1 build and I am very happy with it. It's so much better than stock.

Albeit I noticed that the battery drain is higher than stock, so I am thinking about flashing a custom kernel. Which ones are compatible with this custom ROM?

Does a custom kernel also fix the problem with delayed notifications?? For example, when the phone is not used for about 15 minutes I do not receive whatsapp notifications. Only when I pick up the phone and unlock it, they appear.

So would a custom kernel fix that issue??

This is kinda off topic but as ZTE can't ship with Gapps no more, wouldn't it be smart to contact ZTE and make a deal with them so that Gappless Lineage will be the official rom for ZTE devices in the future? They can still use android as it's an Open source program and this would be neat.
