[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] jawz101:
The stock browser in LineageOS, Gello, is based on Chromium- the open source version of Google Chrome. It doesn't have Google integration like bookmark syncing and stuff. TBH it is pretty bland.

Same with the stock messenger.

The Google versions can integrate with Google services a little more. The LineageOS dialer does do some phone number lookups if you dig into the settings.

Personally, the phone, contacts, messenger, calendar, browser, music, and gallery are a toss-up.

I stopped using Google Music and I'm about to stop using Google Photos because I have an sdcard and see no reason to chew up data. Besides, I can back up to a computer or something and avoid potential sync issues since Google Photos tries to make slideshows and junk with your pics. I just don't want to rely on it as a backup plan.

It's really up to you but about the only stock apps that feel lacking are the browser and calendar. Google calendar and any other browser are simply better that stock LineageOS.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] bluestudy:
Thank you for the descriptions, man. I do like having the Google integrations, but at the same time, guess there's no sense in knocking something if it works.

I use Google Music, but end up downloading all the music to my SD card (never know when I'm going to be somewhere without signal, so can't make myself rely on having to have a connection for streaming.) Have noticed that the folder containing all of the songs that I download gets wiped every time I flash a new ROM from scratch. Any ideas on solving that issue?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] jawz101:
Are you downloading from Google Music? Like the caching feature? You can try titanium backup. There's a preference to save cached play music media within a backup I believe. Other than that it looks like Google Music downloads your mp3's into a folder and names the cached music files in its own naming scheme... I would have to play around for other options but I'd rather not lol
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] bluestudy:
I think everything's saved to /sdcard/Android/data/com.google.music/data. But all files are tagged as just a number. They show up in Play Music that way too, if you move them to another location. Lol. Other than making a backup on a computer, I'm not really seeing any other good way to go about it for now.

So my latest version is lineage 20170203 and when I try to run the update it tells me that it doesn't work. When I go into TWRP it asks for a code to access system. Reading through a few threads, I'm still not sure what I need to do. My Data is emmc. Let me know if you need anything else to help me out.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] nupi:
Which twrp are you using, are you otherwise using encrypted data?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] swehes:
twrp 3.0.3-1 and how can I tell if the data is encrypted?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] nupi:
Try 3.0.4.1 and see what happens. Worst case you will have to format /data using ext4
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] swehes:
That took care of my twrp issues. Now what is the benefit to update from emmc to ext4? And how do I do it if I would like to without loosing all my apps and such?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Snaptraks:
So we know that stereo doesn't work on speakers (both speakers play the left channel). I'm wondering if it is possible to use mono sound for the speakers (merge the left and right channel, play them both through the speakers) but keep the stereo through headphones and bluetooth. It could be a temporary fix, maybe? There is a setting in Accessibility, but I think that merges the channels everywhere.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] yamils:
you could try using tasker to toggle this option when Bluetooth or headphones are connected.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Snaptraks:
I've never used Tasker, but I had a look and I can't find the accessibility setting that toggles mono/stereo sound to set a task. I'll keep looking, but I don't have high hopes. Thank you for the suggestion!
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] nolimit78:
So is anyone having any issues with AKT profiles and things like this sticking? I can see where AKT says that it applies but I can't see any difference between having AKT installed or not. I've also tried putting things in the init.d folder and I don't believe they're executing either. Any thoughts? Running Lineage with AX7Kernel.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Semont:
I've had unofficial LOS for about 2 weeks.

After messing around with privacy guard, my phone constantly crashed on itself so I had to restore from a previous backup. After I did that, I suddenly lost the ability to transmit and receive sound during calls. I thought it might have been an issue with my backup so I ended up wiping my phone and installing official LOS but that still didn't fix the issue.

For clarification here's what's working and what isn't.

-Sound output works, I can still listen to music.

-The microphone works, google will accept voice commands and the built in recording app works.

-I have tried both bluetooth and wired headsets during calls and I don't hear anything and I can't transmit sound either.

-I have tried different configurations with speakerphone, mute and unmute mic, turning on and off do not disturb.

Has anyone run into this issue before? Thank you in advance.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] 0Kajuna0:
I'm not on Lineage to check, but if the setting is there, as this article suggests, we should be good

https://www.cnet.com/how-to/adjust-your-phone-or-tablets-audio-balance-for-better-listening/

Edit: apparently viper 4 android should get it done too. Not sure if tasker could handle that https://www.google.es/amp/s/amp.red...l_or_leftright_balance/?client=ms-android-zte
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Snaptraks:
I see the mono setting through the Settings app, but not through Tasker, so I'll hold off for now.

As for V4A, I'll definitely take a look at it this weekend! Thank you for the suggestion!

Is the DAC working in LineageOS? There is no way to find out inside the rom itself.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Vivisec:
I just upgraded from the unofficial to the nightly 2/23 build. I tried wiping system, flashing experimental, reboot into recovery, and flashing nightly, but it returned error 7, so I factory reset. Booted OK, started setting up LOS, realized I needed GApps, download them, and boot into recovery, only to find that TWRP cannot mount the data onto the partition and is asking for a password that I never set up. Internal storage is hence listed as 0MB. There seems to be a few fixes, including flashing stock, but if anyone knows a less painful version I'm all ears.

I have installed LOS on my phone and I also want to try custom Kernel. Can anyone tell me if AX7Kernel will work on Chinese A2017 version?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] shifuharris:
I have a curiosity question...I've been bouncing back and forth betwen LOS official (latest nightly) and RR. I install the Pixel Launcher with Pixel icons from the gapps Aroma installer and remove stock launcher. I noticed that on RR that I get all the round pixel icons in the launcher and everything looks fine. However, on LOS only some of the icons are the round Pixel icons. Just curious if anyone has any idea why that is and if it can be changed.

Thanks!

Hello,

Just installed latest LineageOS nightly, and I have a question about storage, my SD Card is used as Internal storage (32GB), I see it in the File explorer and via MTP. But I can't access the 'real' internal 64Gb memory of my A2017G.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] nonamesl:
I have no sound on incoming calls! They can't hear me and I can't hear them. using los nightly build 10/4. Also the clock app keeps crashing and I can't find it in my force uninstaller app.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] _phk_:
so you didn't install the sound patch posted by drakenfx and already have this Problem in Los 410?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] nonamesl:
I wasn't aware of a sound patch :) Where can I find it?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] _phk_:
ok great to hear, the following patch fixes speaker sound, there is stereo sound and no more distortion https://xdaforums.com/axon-7/how-to/sound-fix-los-los-base-roms-t3587373

I thought it breaks earpiece sound, but after reading your post, it seems like a general problem in 410 Los build. probably you should go back to 403 Los build, there my earpiece worked. you can then use the patch to fix speaker sound

Hello,

My model is A2017G. Apparently after installing Lineage OS 14.1, my model now becomes A2017U!

Is it due to Lineage OS ROM, or is it due to flashing the Universal bootloader? (since I assume flashing my model modem should not change it).

Is there a way to change back to correct model A2017G?

Thank you.

Did the dev on LOS14.1 stoped? there are some idiot users that do not respect the devs time and are very rude.. that is a **** for the all rest of the community.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] jawz101:
Well, from a nerd perspective, I'm more interested in what ZTE comes out with. From what @Unjustified Dev has said, the kernel in the ZTE Nougat build is essentially mainline with Linux now which is impressive. I don't think that's normal AOSP but they pulled from Qualcomm or did something on their own. If Android is at version 3.18 and ZTE is using 4.10 that's a lot of kernel features that have built up over the past 2 years.

When Google sticks on LTS releases they are sticking with long-term support releases for stability and only get security patches but any filesystem, networking, or governor improvements, etc. they have to be backported by someone if they want them. The Linux kernel has thousands of eyes on it constantly fixing and optimizing junk.

Like, if it's true and no other phone has 4.10 we'd have the nerdiest phone and some nerds will notice.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] jawz101:
Good question! No, development has not stopped. This thread is for asking that question, though. :p If anyone else wants to ask it feel free :D I'll even answer in other languages using Google Translate®
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] felipe.vella:
So the dev only blocked the other topic for not being bored by annoying users? He'll still update that topic with other advances and fixes? Or where we'll know about that?

Has anyone been able to get Magisk working on this ROM yet and if so how? I could never get it working properly on stock.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] jawz101:
I'm sure he'll update it later.

As for tracking progress I look at a few places.

Some of the devs' device and kernel repos and the LineageOS Gerrit instance.

https://github.com/Hax-on

https://github.com/bmc08gt/android_device_zte_ailsa_ii

https://github.com/bmc08gt/proprietary_vendor_zte

https://github.com/Celoxocis/android_device_zte_ailsa_ii_new

https://github.com/LineageOS/android_kernel_zte_msm8996

https://github.com/LineageOS/android_device_zte_axon7

https://review.lineageos.org/#/q/st...E.*lineageos_updater+OR+project:%5E.*mirror+)

The last link is long but I filter out a bunch of other device stuff.

There's even an open commit on the Axon 7 kernel cm13 branch just from today by someone. Things are just on pause until ZTE Nougat or some other junk is looked at I'm assuming.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] spacemanvt:
are you sure he is continuing dev?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] EasyTiger6x13:
Seriously y'all need to calm down, his last reply literally says I'm done FOR NOW. There's probably nothing else for him to do until he gets proper source or whatever he needs to continue working on the ROM.

There's a group of freaking people working on it he said, not just him. Y'all need to be grateful that you have an INCREDIBLY stable release of Nougat before ZTE released theirs because if memory serves correctly he wasn't even talking about releasing this until ZTE released Nougat. Probably to avoid what's happening now. He probably locked the thread on purpose to avoid all of your nonsense in the mean time. Do I agree with his lack of clarity. No. But give the guy a break.

On top of it, why in the world would the guy who made this thread know why he closed it?!?!? Why are you even asking him?! This thread is for people with issues or questions relating to the ROM. NOT for your complaining about a thread being closed and wondering why.

So for the love of god chill out and stay on topic. This type of stuff KILLS development for phones and were lucky to even have this on a phone that has piss poor Dev support from a company that won't release sources or anything.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] DrGit:
I started the process of porting the Axon 7 drivers to the current upstream kernel myself. As far as I am aware, ZTE is still using a 3.18 CAF kernel with Nougat.

So far I have the display nearly working and not much else - the backlight is on and white noise appears on the screen with freedreno KMS and the recently posted Snapdragon 820 DSI patches.

The pstore ramoops console works, so I'm currently rebooting into recovery to pull the logs every time I make a change to the kernel.

I'm cleaning up the patches so I can eventually push my kernel sources to GitHub and continue porting the rest of the drivers once I get the screen working.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] jawz101:
Well, I'm going off of this post https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70726710&postcount=1928 on the 4.10 kernel thing. I figure perhaps Unjustified has received some info from ZTE that we're not seeing yet until the official Nougat update comes out- at which time they'd release their kernel source.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] DrGit:
Nope, that was in reference to me. Disappointing, I know. It's a massive project, even for a company like ZTE, let alone one person. But I'm pretty determined to make it work.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] jawz101:
I guess I didn't read the posts right before. Has anyone even tried to do that with another phone? Are you keeping in touch w/ Unjustified for your project? Do you have a public repo to watch? Sorry, now I'm excited for you! That's pretty cool stuff.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] DrGit:
I've started similar projects for other phones I've owned (various pre-Android HTC phones, the OG Moto Droid, early Samsung Android flagships, Nexus 4, Sony Xperia Z Ultra, ASUS ZenFone 2, LG G4, and now the Axon 7 - highlights in my signature), and so far this is the first device where I have a reasonable chance ticking off all the dream developer phone checkboxes on my own. This might eventually help Android, but I'm more focused on getting a proper Linux distribution to run as a daily driver. I admire everything Unjustified Dev and the team is doing, but our goals are different. My efforts might make it upstream eventually, but I'm still learning. Right now I'm doing this in my excessive free time, but it's driving me crazy because I don't have a day job to support this hobby. This is embarrassing, but I spent nearly half my entire life savings to purchase my Axon. I have nothing to follow currently - nothing on my GitHub, no blog, etc. etc, but I'll be working on this proportionately to the demand for it.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] jawz101:
The kernel is interesting but it's hard to think of it as a transferable skill until it happens. I imagine there are many places that look for embedded system programmers. And if the job didn't say "Android Kernel Developer" but was anything programming I'd think you'd find it a transferable skill. Or, if it was front-end design or controller programming, you have an intimate understanding of kernel architecture and could spot things in what you do daily which others might not notice.

It's like, I know server admins that were theology/music/history majors but there were certain aspects to their background which made for a good server admin. Personally, with an information systems background, I got burnt out with the technical but the industry I did technical support for was interesting (healthcare) so I gravitated to a job closer to the clinicians so I can learn their trade and do reporting stuff for them. Healthcare is more interesting to me than "technology for the sake of technology."

Regardless, I've always worked and applied what I enjoy to what I get paid to do. Well, actually, my 1st job after college was volunteering full-time at the sherrif's office IT dept. They asked me how much I wanted to work and I said "Well... full time." After a week they at least gave me a minimum wage and a few months later I got a job elsewhere.

I may take on a side project someone doesn't want to do such as something related to information security, database programming, etc. Then I add that to my résumé. If my job was completely unrelated to my passions- hey- at least I have a hobby, I'm employed... and I have a work printer for printing off my résumé.

I'm just rambling lol
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] masong397:
So the situation with fingerprint. I was under the impression that cm13 fingerprint worked if you set selinux to permissive (which I do anyway for viper4arise) but the OP says selinux is set to permissive by default which means that there will be no way to get fingerprint working if I flash this. Is that right? Sorry about the noob question. I just want to understand if I'm signing up for no fingerprint scanner for the next month if I update
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] jimbo77:
That's correct. You won't be able to add FP by anymeans this time until Unjustified and the other team members have a permanent fix on it.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] jawz101:
Unjustified Dev last responded the fingerprint sensor is showing some errors relating to device encryption in the log files. It doesn't sound like it's an SELinux thing as it was in cm13.

https://xdaforums.com/axon-7/development/unofficial-lineageos-14-1-zte-axon-7-t3545679/post70759910

Check his response there.

I'm not going to pretend I know the what's and when's but I can at least point to that.

It's likely fixable but just not in the first build. Right now I'm just using a pattern lock. Fingerprint isn't a showstopper for me but it might be for others. If I had to pick, I'm more interested in SELinux than fingerprint security because a fingerprint is just physical security and there are other options in the meantime. SELinux a more comprehensive security mechanism that's nice to have on and probably a requirement to be official build than if the fingerprint works. But that's just me.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] masong397:
Thank you so much for the info. FP is important to me. I love not needing to put in a password also my brother would always learn my password after a while. So fingerprint is important. I will wait patiently for the devs to fix it. I wish I knew more so I could help.

No worries. We may not know the specifics but we're all tinkerers and get the gist more or less. Developers are the Yodas a few levels deeper and they have their own Yodas too.

Screenshots or screen recordings?

For Screenshots there's an option under buttons/power menu to add it to the power off pop-up.

I think that's what you're wanting
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] jawz101:
Well, I think of different words for this because there's a few things that get mixed up:

A dark theme toggle- A toggle to change to a dark theme for the user interface.

Theming toggle that's timed to switch at night

Screen blue-light filtering (like f.lux)

CyanogenMod did the first thing with their theme engine. You'd just install a dark theme. I figure they're planning on porting it over but that theme engine is pretty complex (like, I think should just be a dark toggle and a way to change an accent color and your done but whatever.) I'd say likely they'll implement it in nougat once more. Still, I think they made it too complex.

2nd thing- well, cm didn't have a timed theming before. Nova launcher does for its ui of the launcher.

3rd thing- live display can do that. In any other ROM I use f.lux or lux auto brightness. I think f.lux has the nicest tint setup
