Here's a weird one. Daydream is not really working for me. Some apps work, especially the ones made by Google, but most third party games and apps don't. They play in full screen 2D (one image) as if I didn't have a viewer.

Could anyone confirm apps like Horizons are working for them? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.reactify.HorizonsVR

I initially thought the problem was caused by my other Cardboard viewers, which I used for the Daydream app(s) before receiving the genuine one (Daydream View), but I tried all these steps and most apps still don't work in 3D:

- Cleared data and cache of the daydream app, google vr services, cardboard app and all cardboard and daydream apps and games.

- Uninstalled and reinstalled all of them

- Cleared cache and dalvik from TWRP

- Dirty flashed the LOS rom again, and the bootloader + the G modem

- Factory Data Reset

- At this point I suspected there was some problem with my Google Account, so I tried with a new one

Some apps print strange messages such as "this cardboard application is not compatible with daydream" (that's a DAYDREAM APP, VR Karts Sprint), "remove your phone from your daydream headset", "Incompatible headset. A Daydream-ready headset is required...", "failure to initialize google vr! Google VR had a fatal issue while loading. VR will not be available"

The Daydream app however works perfectly well, and others such as photos, youtube vr, streetview or Wonderglade work perfectly too.

I can only suspect there is a problem with the rom, at this point, but is anyone else experiencing this? Is anyone using these apps in a A2017G?

Some apps that don't work:

Horizons, VR Karts sprint, Fantastic Beasts, Polyrunner VR, EXO, Bandit Six, Avakin Life, Moatboat, The Reaction Rooms, Oz Chicken Slayer.

Thanks!

Since this is official, is there still audio distortion?

Yes, it does not look like it will be fixed.

So the only way to get high quality audio is to go back to stock? Sorry if I missed something, I'm late to the party, but this sounds like a deal breaker. Too bad, everything else seems so perfect. :crying:

do you need to merge your "Import graphic blobs" commit for next build to be ok ?

thx ! :)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] jawz101:
I am still perplexed by the sound issue.

Let's say I accept hifi audio and stereo are an acceptable loss. Still, why can't the speaker output we do get have a lower hardcoded maximum volume? Makes no damn sense. Literally, 90% of the posts here would stop being posted.

Daydream support

I can confirm that many apps, like

Horizons

, and

Within

don't work. I get the same behavior you describe.

With the apps that do work, I used to have a "drift" issue where the world would slowly rotate counter clockwise (as seen from above) and I would have to re-center every two minutes or so. This was especially annoying on apps like Netflix VR, where you mostly look straight-ahead. The good news is that, with the latest Daydream update from a few days ago, this issue seems to be mostly corrected -- although it now drifts by a much smaller amount in both directions.

I am just happy that

Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes

works.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] 0Kajuna0:
Thanks. It looks indeed as though this was a problem with LOS. This guy here, apparently on the stock rom can play Horizons: https://youtu.be/-K_8C_8RinY?t=10m42s

Could the devs please look into it? [MENTION=4911249]Unjustified Dev[/MENTION] ?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] ((RayDar)):
Daydream Support

The apps that don't work seem to be the ones that can operate in multiple modes. For example,

Within

also supports Cardboard mode. I think if the app is Daydream only, it works OK. FWIW
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] 0Kajuna0:
I rolled back to february 13 and feb 21 builds and those apps were not working either. Maybe the problem was introduced when we were switched to official, if you say it was good before.

Cardboard Camera works for me and many of the apps that don't work are only available for Daydream, not cardboard, so I'm not sure being compatible with both systems is the rule there.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] ((RayDar)):
Daydream Support

OK. Let's rule that theory out then. (Doh! My 100th post was a fail)

I am crossing my fingers that there will be a new build tomorrow (13-March) and that it fixes the Daydream issue. Although I know it's a lot to hope for.

Info on how to file a bug in LOS. Try to get them in before Monday. My axon is currently being replaced but if someone wanted to submit something official to LineageOS on audio issues this might be a good time

Anyone having an issue with the camera ? I can take pictures without issue but I can only take 30 seconds of video before the video freezes. I've tried Google Camera app and stock and same problem.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Znuf:
Know issue.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] 0Kajuna0:
I suspect it comes down to this line of the logcat: GvrLayout: Failed to initialize async reprojection, unsupported device.

So our device is marked as unsupported somewhere.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] ((RayDar)):
Daydream support

Maybe.

Asynchronous Reprojection

is a Tweening technology designed to automatically generate additional frames of video so that, for example, a 45fps app can be upgraded to 90fps without additional coding. It is conceivable that even if this failed to initialize, the app would still run, albeit at the lower frame rate. But then again, this could perhaps explain why some apps work and others don't. Maybe the apps that attempt to use this technology are the ones currently not working.

Earlier in this thread, there was a mention of an update entitled

Import graphic blobs

. This might help, but who can say?

Hopefully the camera gets fixed. Taking only 30 seconds of video sucks. Lineage OS is still better than the stock UI so I'll wait it out.

So Cricket, which is my carrier, will be rolling out WiFi calling soon and VoLTE later this year. Are these options in our LOS? I don't see them anywhere to turn on/off. Do they appear magically based on the SIM card, or.... ?

Not yet I'm on cricket so I'm looking out too.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] sourbear:
Thanks. Another question, since you're on Cricket too. Is your Tethering & portable hotspot locked out? I noticed when I was on Straight Talk, I could use hotspot but since going to Cricket, the option is no longer there under Wireless & networks. Seems this is based off of permission on the SIM card and Cricket has locked mine out.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] amphi66:
Nope. Cricket hotspot works just fine

Same here, On RR Rom (LOS based), hotspot works fine, also on Cricket =). Havent tried USB Tethering though
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] sourbear:
Which leads to another question... do you pay the additional $10 a month for hotspot that Cricket charges or it's just working period?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] hjjiang:
Just work period, didn't pay for Hotspot

Mine is unlocked on unlimited plan. It was unlocked on stock too. For lineage some Google verification snuck in and I removed it. ZTE did the same on stock 7.0 to allow hotspot.

Yeah bootloader patch is possible now

There is a kernel by Jimmy called A7Kernel currently on version r6 i think and that works great, I'm using metro Bank app as well ass Lloyd's and NatWest all work fine now, after flashing the kernel and magisk
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] bustr85:
Do you need to flash the custom kernel or just this magisk thing? (I'm yet to read up on it)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] nolimit78:
I would maybe read up on it and familiarize yourself on it. Once you do, you should be able to answer these questions yourself.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] shia786:
You have to flash both custom kernel and magical but the A7Kernel should specify that in its forum under the development section

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] ephexxis:
the volume curves in this and most other phones (theoretically any running nougat) are not hard coded anymore. in 7.0 audio policy configurations are now able to be formatted in xml rather than .conf which makes properties like this (as well as output pathing and whatnot) a lot more accessible and customizible as well as just more readily understood and easy to read.

i suppose lineage may be using the old, deprecated .conf method (i think it is enabled by default) but i would think their tendency would be to do the progressive thing and take advantage of a feature with no downside like that, especially cause axon 7 stock fw REALLY takes advantage of it
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] nupi:
I saw that, was hoping to get have a call by call pop up?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] jawz101:
I think they do use the old way or at least most LOS devices do. I tried tweaking the values and building the ROM with lower max values but nothing changed. (Tried to compare against a few ROMs out there that do use the newer audio policy to see what to tweak specifically for lowering max speaker volumes).

Aside from enabling it I'm guessing there are 2 other problems: knowing which to tweak and if this phone has a completely unique sound thing in the 1st place. I think something with audio involves these adbcdb id's (don't quote me on that acronym) which i think identify the bits and pieces of the audio hardware in your phone. As far as i can tell it's some proprietary, closed source hardware thing which requires fancy Qualcomm developer membership and tools only meant for handset manufacturers.

In the end, I really could understand ZTE and the vendors of the hifi DAC/Dolby stuff keeping their stuff closed source and crippled on a custom ROM. What I don't like is if there is a generic audio thingy, that ZTE should've provided generic code which didn't make your speakers sound like they'll explode.

At this point I'm doubtful ZTE will care about developing much more for this phone- even on their own ROM. They've probably moved on to work on the UK and Chinese models and then start planning their next product.

i dunno man i was honestly surprised that nougat came out when it did and considering the engineering that went into this device and it's remarkable audio capabilities* so I wouldn't lose hope just yet!

*i did a bunch of research on the dual audio chipset hardware + DSP (since as it turns out there's a lot more involved here than just a separate DAC/amp, shout outs to AKM) and wanted to correct myself as I've been misidentifying the components due to misleading labeling in the config files. the ak4461 is the recording component which obviously includes an ADC, dsp/codecs and in its own right is really quite phenomenal in its specifications. the ak4490 denotes the DAC/playback DSP system (which apparently accepts digital input up to 32bit/768khz which is so high as to not even be practical in a smart phone, much less one running Android but impressive all the same). i can attach the spec sheet i found if anyone wants it, I'll have to look for the one for the ak4461 or the dual chipset all together, i know there's documentation for all of em

---------- Post added at 01:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:35 AM ----------

is all the acdb stuff included in the axon7 lineage build? apparently the AKM components are actually programmed (if im remembering what I read yesterday correctly) to pull certain parameters from the acdb databases directly which could be a factor in this whole quest for full functionality of the audio hw.

**edit: i know acdb is proprietary qualcomm treasure but over at ARISE (i think during numbers iirc) we had some acdb profiles ported from the zenfone3 included and working for some people with qc SoCs in their devices so surely it can be done

Do you happen to have IPv6 running on your router and 3rd party firmware on the router? If so, it's a known Android and IPv6 issue (like since Jelly Bean) that Google won't fix.

I noticed the bluetooth connections in that file are listed all as MONO. Should any of those be in stereo (like connecting to a car stereo)?

Also, if you didn't notice [MENTION=4911249]Unjustified Dev[/MENTION], ZTE posted the nougat kernel code at http://opensource.ztedevice.com/ as well now. (You probably already had it though.)

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlwaysLucky:
Yes, the LCD is most likely damaged, but all is not lost yet. The poor thermal design of the G3 leaves it susceptible to heat build-up if used heavily for an extended period of time.

My gfs G3 overheated so I put a 15x15mm thermal pad on the SoC of both her and my G3s. Saw an instant 10 degree Celcius drop during heavy use and a 15 degree drop when idle for both of our G3s. I strongly recommend you do the SoC thermal pad mod. However, I've read that some G3s were designed with a plastic frame instead of the metal alloy frame that most G3s have. If this is the case, then obviously the thermal pad mod will not work.
