F2FS filesystem is specifically designed for flash storage and it helps on reducing the stress and wear of the flash system among other goodies. Regarding performance it reduces one full order of magnitude the storage lag. Only sequential reading was faster with linux ext4 than F2FS, however the latest f2fs 4.10 drivers include the mount option extend_cache that equals both filesystems in sequential read. The rest of the statistics are all favorable to F2FS, in a dramatic way for writing.

However it is still a young technology, barely 3 years old, this is why only this year manufacturers such as Motorola, One Plus or Huawei among others started to use it as the default stock filesystem. There is no doubt F2FS is the future, the problem is that not all the kernels have the latest implementation yet and bugs are still being fixed.

Regarding B29 flashing. The update script can be modified to not flash fastboot and recovery. Same for formatting userdata partition. Just a matter of removing the respective lines then reintroducing the script back into the archive with 7zip. Saves a few steps afterwards.

Touchscreen Gestures?

I just bought a used Axon 7 with LineageOS preinstalled.

The Gestures page in Settings only has:

Jump to Camera

Double-tap to sleep

There's no Touchscreen Gestures.

Does LOS for Axon 7 not support TS gestures? Or, is there possibly something wrong with my installation?

---------- Post added at 06:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:14 PM ----------

How do we rename our device in LOS? The stock instructions (About Phone | Device Name) doesn't seem to exist in LOS.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Kallen:
Home Button Settings

I've set my Home button:

Long Press: Launch camera

Double tap: Open/Close menu

neither of those things happen. Is there something I'm missing or does this not work in LOS for Axon 7?

---------- Post added at 08:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:08 PM ----------

On my old phone, I could view a list of all apps that had pending updates. I can't find that in LOS. Any help? I see that I can do that from Play Store, but I thought there was a place on Settings for that, too. Or am I just misremembering?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Choose an username...:
pretty sure it does work on every other ROM i've used. maybe try other ROMs?

And what do you mean with Touchscreen Gestures? If you're talking about dt2w that's a kernel thing.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Kallen:
Touchscreen Gestures where you can draw shapes on the screen to take actions such as open camera or turn on the flashlight.

Also, a stock feature on Axon 7 is a very cool 3 finger pinch to take a screenshot.

Is there a benefit to the DOS-looking splash that shows up on Power Up? Is there a way to hide that?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] tdm:
You mean the warning screen that says your device is unlocked and it's so totally insecure that it makes Trump look good in comparison, and warns you that your device is in imminent danger of being hax0red by evil scumbags who want to steal all your pr0n for ransom or they will tell everyone that you fantasize about spongebob?

Okay well maybe not quite that ridiculous. But it's plenty ironic that you are told that your device is only secure when it will only boot vendor signed code. Because (1) the vendor didn't even encrypt your data *and* leaked their firehose, which in combination makes it trivial to steal all the data on the device, and (2) at some point, which may already be here, the vendor will stop updating the device for security patches and leave the device open to subsequent hacks.

Anyway, yeah... that's the big scary unlocked warning from aboot. Standard issue from Qualcomm. You could binary edit it if you really wanted to make it say something else. But personally I get a bit nervous flashing aboot on a device that I can't easily take apart to force EDL via the motherboard pads.

Touchscreen gestures are implemented by the touchscreen firmware. If stock doesn't have it, neither will custom ROMs [*]. The only device I've personally owned that recognized screen-off shape gestures is the Oneplus One.

[*] Unless someone finds another device with the same touchscreen that does support touchscreen gestures and steals its firmware.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Kallen:
I've read over a dozen articles and probably more videos about Axon 7 and LineageOS and they're all jumbled in my mind, now. I THOUGHT I saw the touchscreen gestures in an Axon 7 specific article or video, but I can't be sure.

But if what you're all saying is that it is definitely not in the Axon 7 LOS then that's all that really matters. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something that's available.

Where's the speakerphone?

I just bought a used A7 that already had LOS installed. When I open the phone dialer, this is what I see:

[IMG="Dialer"]https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/zAPP51uuxDXGWUeZO2upFBfzOIQawLmvMIOHGYwp0AkyyLE2z3F4_HZXSGv4QwTvmb4z3atwlVZkg26uyPM5=w1920-h984-rw[/IMG]

There's no speaker phone button. How do I turn on the speaker phone?

This is what I see even when in a call.

Once I hit the green DIAL button, I'm supposed to see something like this, right?

Any idea why I'm not?

EDIT: This seems to be due to Nova Launcher. When I turned NL off and went back to Pixel Launcher, I see the call in progress screen (with the speaker button) as I should.

SO, has anyone else come across this conflict? I know I've read plenty of people who use NL with LOS. Is there a setting I may have messed up that's causing this?

EDIT 2: I just switched back from Pixel to Nova and the call in progress screen shows as it should. Very strange. But, I guess I'm okay now.

Should I delete this long post? Or is there value in it to others?

Here's a screenshot from an article showing some of the coolest features of Axon 7:

https://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/axon-7-tips-and-tricks/

So, it does look like the stock Axon supports, at minimum, the the three finger pinch for screen capture. LOS took that out?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] tdm:
We were talking about screen off gestures in relation to touch screen firmware support. Three finger pinch is surely not a touch screen firmware feature.

I don't think it's accurate to say that lineage took anything out. Rather, ZTE added a feature in their MiFavor software, and lineage hasn't implemented the same thing. Lineage has a boat load of its own unique features, including screen shot on the power menu.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Kallen:
OK. Thanks for the clarifications. I guess I wasn't really distinguishing between firmware and features and was thinking LOS might keep some of the cooler features from Axon 7, whether in the firmware or not -- but that probably just exposes my ignorance about how custom ROMs work.

Anyway, I'm loving my new (used) Axon 7 w/LOS, so far.

After many months with LOS and RR I unfortunately have to confirm that there are some major bugs with the call quality on this rom.

While you can hear the other side very well, the other person's hear you broken or stuttered too often.

It has nothing to do with the quality of your signal.

Testing atm the stock rom and there is a huge difference. Even virtual phoning like in messengers or Skype the microphone quality is much more consistent on stock rom.

I don't know how to make a log for this, but maybe the dev has an idea on this.

Well, I don't know how much you really know (or care to know), but here's a high level overview of how Android software flows. Perhaps others might also find this helpful.

Google releases AOSP. This is "pure" Android. It used to be that Nexus devices shipped with AOSP code exactly as released, but those days seem gone now.

Hardware vendors (Qualcomm, MediaTek, TI, etc.) add their hardware support on top of AOSP. Note this may involve some amount of UI code such as for dual-SIM support or a FM radio app, and hardware vendors are notoriously horrid at UI. This is now called a BSP (Board Support Package).

The BSP is then given to ODMs (Original Device Manufacturers, eg. companies that actually make the device). They add support for their particular hardware (screen panel, touch digitizer, sound chip, cameras, etc.) using code from various other hardware vendors.

Device samples and code are given to OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers, eg. companies that will resell the device). They add their own features , apps, and UI "skins", etc. This is what you get when you buy a device directly from an OEM such as ZTE.

Finally, carriers contract with OEMs. They specify particular software things, especially carrier specific apps, and the OEM adds them before shipping devices out to their stores.

Lineage starts directly from the BSP. We add code to ensure that all the different BSPs can coexist and play nice, strip out or change most all of the BSP UI changes, then add our features to it.

So now you can start to see where the various features come from and how and why they exist in various places. Touch screen tap to wake would be added by an ODM and the code released in the kernel. Lineage has support for that. Triple pinch to screen shot would be added by an OEM. Lineage hasn't had any motivation to add that particular feature (actually I just heard about it from you).

Hope that helps.

I have had no issues with call quality when I'm holding the phone up to my face. People on the other end tell me I sound fine. However, on speakerphone, people tell me it's really quiet, like I'm talking to them from across a huge room.

I finally managed to leave my house and had a couple of test calls with my wife. She reported no sound problems, so I'm feeling rather relieved.

How to update LOS?

In the About Phone section in Settings, there's a selection for LineageOS updates.

On my phone, I have six updates listed, with the most recent being 11/13 (still 14.1).

I hit the download button after downloading, the icon changed to a phone with a down pointing arrow. I assumed that meant INSTALL (the downloaded update). When I tap it, I get a warning, including:

"This feature requires a compatible Recovery or updates will need to be installed manually."

Am I safe in pressing OK? Or is there another process I need to follow to install the update I just downloaded?

---------- Post added at 12:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 AM ----------

Stock Axon 7 has a feature to automatically power off at a specified time and then power on at a different specified time.

I swear I have a memory of setting that feature up on LOS. But, I just tried to find it to check the setting and it's just not there. Am I hallucinating?

If not, where do I find that setting?

---------- Post added at 12:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:07 AM ----------

I last flashed a custom ROM about 4 years ago, so I'm extremely rusty. The Axon 7 I just bought already had LOS installed.

If I want to go back to Stock (at least to test a couple of things), how would I do that? And how hard would it be to return to LOS? And having done that, will I need to reinstall all my apps? Or is it possible to do a full backup and restore?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] jawz101:
[MENTION=672075]Kallen[/MENTION] there are 2 stickied threads in this subforum. Either would get you to stock.

For your other question about upgrading- you need to see if your phone can boot into recovery mode.

Hold down power and the volume up arrow, or at least 2 other ways to get into recovery. If you don't have TWRP recovery you probably need to start with fixing that issue before returning to stock, doing full backups, or doing any updates.

To sum up: boot into recovery. If you cannot, search around on here to learn how to get TWRP recovery installed.

Your entire existence depends on booting into recovery.
