First impressions.

So far everything I tried is working absolutely perfect! But I do must admit two things:

1st - I'm still in a early stage of testing.

2nd - That I miss some of the stock options like:

the way the home button works (tap, press, double press, long press) and to configure it the way I wanted.

The auto shutdown/wakeup function;

Be able to configure the led colors.

Does anyone knows of any sort of way (apps or some stuff) of getting these back? Sorry... but going back to stock ain't a option, and everyone that uses CM/LOS knows what I mean. ;)

Just two small updates:

The camera app also crashes with hdr on.

I have to long tap if I want to open the recent apps menu. Is this normal?

Thanks!
[Elephone S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] nickzeptepi:
Home button is a little different but I get.

Single tap - back

Double tap is home screen

Tap & hold - recent menu.

Hard press and click - recent menu.

I've just adapted, can't even remember what stock was like.

Try nova launcher it can change home button actions but you may find it clashes with default actions.

Don't know about led.

Try gravity box in xposed it can do all sorts of stuff.

hi thank you, i already know the pain of sofbricked and now i am running lineage os 13 by deepflex, i cant explain my happiness also pain that my phone is softbricked because windows 10 changing port after i plug in running sp flash tools, thank you again, but here is the couple thing i found out after using :

1. Phone apps sometimes make a total black screen but later the proximity sensor work, i will try again tomorrow

2. fingerprint sometimes disappear in lock screen so i have to unlock using pin method

3. how to switch to front camera

4. if wifi turned on there is ssid called nvram err

the pros is more than cons, i love this one, its fast, i can running game with full performance without getting hot like the last update, liquid smooth,

its nothing compared the cons, i hope i could support deepflex developing by donating but i cant use cc in my country hard to get a cc signed by bank, i am still in college, and again thank you to this forum,
[Elephone S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Enache Lucian:
Thank you so much for your work.

So far(after 2 days) i have seen some bugs.

1.Still i have some problems with bluetooth. Scenario: one elephone, one car radio and one handsfree. I have managed to listen music on radio. I have disabled the call function for radio and i have tried to pair the handsfree and it worked but the music stopped. After this i cannot see the radio or handsfree no matter what i did.

2. When i recive a call, the screen is black and cannot do anything to wake up. After some 10-20 sec is alive.

3. Sometimes it freeze and it is not responding on touchscreen.

4. Fingerprint sometimes is verry slow.

5. Something is draining the battery on iddle.

Nice rom but, I have had deadlock twise and bootup kernel state takes forever.
[Elephone S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] SirKitz:
Just an update regarding battery life. For me at least, the battery seems to be settling down now after a few days use. Will keep an eye but seems all good :)
[Elephone S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] moe210:
I am having deadlock issues as well. 2 or 3 times a day. Other wise all ok
[Elephone S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] nickzeptepi:
Did you update our clean install?

I updated at first and I got numerous reboot, lag etc.

Just fine a clean install and I see an improvement already.
[Elephone S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] moe210:
I did a clean install. I have no issues except the dead lock.
[Elephone S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] nikolai7:
Are the battery complaints solved? Is this ROM faster than the stock one? Does it solve some problems like the weak signals? I cant try myself cause its not for my phone, sorry :/

Thanks
[Elephone S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Paul1234567:
I am running the ROM now for 4 days and it is running

Smooth. The only thing is the wifi..it is still not verry strong.

Other phone's/tablets have a signal when the s7 can't find a signal or can't keep one stady..
[Elephone S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] AfonsoSousa:
Any recent progress or anything you wanna point out?

Great ROM, btw, some deadlocks now and then but overall pretty stable and smooth! Great work, dude :)
[Elephone S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] moe210:
The deadlock is happening more often the longer you use the rom. I had dead lock today over 5 times.
[Elephone S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] yajdam:
Into the 4th day of testing...

Some small bugs so far:

- The battery percentage inside the circle on the top bar randomly appears/disappears when on battery. If I plug the phone for charging, the percentage goes away forever and I can only get it back by going into settings.

- For the first times I answered a call, the proximity sensor didn't work at all, but (maybe coincidentally) after using SensorBox to test the sensor (which worked flawlessly), I haven't had any issues with it.

- For one time only, while the phone was receiving a call, the screen was completely black and I couldn't do anything with it for about 5 secs. I don't recall what I did (must've press every single button and touched everywhere on the screen) but eventually, I managed to answer the call.

Big bug

- In "About phone", tapping on the "build version" or "android version" brings up the marshmallow logo. I can not enable the developer options.

That's all for now and with the arrival of Nougat stock rom, I don't know for how long I'll be using this rom. My transition depends mostly on reports by other uses of how good/bad the nougat stock rom is.

Many thanks to deepflex for his great rom and I'm looking forward for his version of Lineage 14 Nougat for this phone.
[Elephone S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Enache Lucian:
You have to press the version number(second row from bottom)
[Elephone S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] yajdam:
Of course I do! What was I thinking?! Thanks, Enache Lucian.

How come I didn't noticed that?! Wait... I can't scroll down beyond "Patch Level"... bug!

Closed settings.... Cleaned memory... reopen it and... still the same. The bug is still there. Rebooting.

Rebooting did the trick.

Great ROM, not much other choices but I like what's been done.

Any chance of adding home button options for hard single press and double presses. Only the soft presses are editable at present.

Also has anyone else experienced 1.theme chooser crashes after installing a theme and will no longer open ?

2.browser constantly crashes ?

I had to use the x64 pico gapps so maybe that causing issues !! Gapps linked in op is a dead link.

Any recommendations for correct gapps ?

[Elephone S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] SirKitz:
For nvram wifi error, you can also install "chamelemac" from play store to fix it. Open app, click to generate random new mac (or just set one of your own choosing) then click apply and reboot. Still needs root, but is maybe easier for some people.

problems with the ROM

Hi!

I installed this ROM today on my elephone X25 but i have some problems with it:

first, the camera app crash when i use HDR

secondly, it seems that my bigest partition (the one use for /data) is not mounted. I only have 2.9GB display from my computer and android itself

I don't know how to mount this partition on boot because there is not /etc/vold.fstab or any file that i look on the web

Thanks!
[Elephone S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] yajdam:
I tried this rom and I didn't see any improvement in my S7 battery, but I've got the feeling that charging was slower.

I didn't take the time to test it because I moved to stock nougat (beta version) and now everything is working ok.

The final version should be released in a few days, since the release window was from 29th of May until the 7th of June.

I hope this helps you in anyway.
[Elephone S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] andrejluz:

[Elephone S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] yajdam:
You can get it here along with instructions, but please read the posts in the forum (there aren't that many) because some S7 users ran into some problems. Some minor (like me), some major (like IMEI loss).

And don't forget that, even though very stable for my S7, this rom is still in beta version.

Have fun!

Flashing TWRP usinng ADB/Fastboot then usnig what to flash the actual ROM? I am happy with the stock ROM, however the GPS is not working and is extremely important for me so thats the reason I am trying this one. Some details will be greatly appreciated thanks :)
[Elephone S7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] yajdam:
Hi.

The final version of stock rom nougat (7.1.1) from Elephone is already available via OTA. So you should first check you "settings"->"about phone"->"wi-fi update".

You can find more info about this, on this elephone s7 thread

Has for the gps problem, search on youtube for "mtk engineering mode gps fix" and you might find your solution there. On the Elephone thread I posted above, you also have some info about solving the gps problem.

For LineageOS 13.0

Gapps: Just go to opengapps.org and select "arm64"->6.0->nano (or pico). After the flash, if you need other/more google apps, you can get in google play.

How to install twrp: Follow these instructions just for twrp and then go back to the instruction on the first post of this thread.

Have fun!

2. Sometimes, after a call phone refuses to wake up

3. Wifi keeps on disconnect (low range)

can you pleeeeeaaaaseeeee open the vendor and device tree????? :):):):):):):)
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Questions & Answers] geekyjazzy:
Hi all,

Post an install of the latest nougat image via manual flash ( build Nr - TOS089A-NMF26F) on Swift2, I see that the space occupied by system files results in about 11 Gigs approx ( out of 16 gigs, only 14.6 Gigs available , and from this, 11 gigs already eaten up by the system). And the worst part is, I have disabled all the bloatware ( duo, hangouts, books, music, etc. ). Could anyone explain me why the 11 gigs? and if am I the only one facing this issue or is this expected?

Thanks in advance.
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Questions & Answers] bushbladewill:
I noticed that too. A factory reset will bring it back to 5.32gb. It seems the download for the OTA update persists after the update has been applied, but a reset removes it.

Hope that helps.
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Questions & Answers] geekyjazzy:
Hi bushbladewill,

Aha. That makes sense. But this was not an OTA update. Since I was on the alpha testing , I got the release earlier than everyone and I used TWRP to flash it ( which I should not have done in retrospective). But I am going to give the factory reset a try and hopefully that should work. Will keep posting. Thanks
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Questions & Answers] geekyjazzy:
so the factory reset did indeed help, saw a lot of boost in the performance and responsiveness time and also the sensor response time improved by leaps . so thats quiet something. Thank you very much.
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Questions & Answers] bushbladewill:
Brilliant, glad to hear it. A friend of mine also has a swift 2x and his is the same. I have not seen it mentioned in any other social media though so i think it has largely gone unnoticed. I have emailed wileyfox about it as part of my feedback to nougat@wileyfox.com but have had no response as yet.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] matrixino:
Hello, since I upgraded to 4.1.3 I'm getting a strange behavior when expanding status bar in Lock screen to check notifications.

I can't swipe left\right to dismiss them right away or press any action button like mark read\reply on messages or even tap on them, but after some time (not sure if triggered by something else) it suddenly works again.

It's like anything I tap is just ignored, like there is something in foreground which don't let me click them, except for the status bar title which I can always swipe top\bottom as usual.

I didn't install anything new, I just have a classic setup with 4.1.3+Franco kernel+magisk with magisksu+5 tiles quicks\center clock, working fine before.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] senny22:
So I've been on pretty much every rom and so I will share my experience with each of them considering headphone audio quality, sound, and volume. I've used my HD 598 and Momentum in-ears on each Rom with no sound effect on.

Stock marshmallow G (And a room that was based on stock U): well I actually found that the sound on marshmallow is one of the best on both super and standard setting with a clean and flat signal but on the European (G model) the volume is very very low which is a big downside of marshmallow on G model.

TL;DR: Good clean sound, extremely low volume on G model.

Stock nougat, both G and U: here I found the sound on both G and U to be the same which is probably true since the "mixer_paths" were identical. IMO the sound was somewhat muffled with the super setting turned on along with it having a 10k+ boost which made for artificial highs in some music. Changing to standard solved the sound issues but then the sound was once again very low in volume output.

TL;DR: Super: Muddy bass, boosted top frequencys. Standard: Clean sound, low volume.

Lineage OS/Resurrection Remix: once again identical sound and identical "mixer_paths" files. On these Roms the sound is very strong and significantly louder than on any stock Rom. However, I found the sound to be very muffled with alot off boosted bass despite no sound effects being on or installed. I didn't like the like the sound on these Rims at all and couldn't really here any improvement​ over my old Nexus in sound quality since the boosted bass just took over and sort of layer on top of all the other frequencys.

TL;DR: Very loud signal with lack of quality due to very boosted bass.

Nucler Rom: Now we are talking. I feel like this Rom has the best of both Lineage and stock. The sound is just as loud as on Lineage/RR but the boosted bass is no more. I found this Rom to have just as a flat and clean signal as atleast stock nougat and probably as good as stock marshmallow on the U model but with a stronger and louder sound.

TL;DR: Loud volume output with a clean and flat signal.

If I were to recommend a Rom based on headphone audio qualty it would be either Stock marshmallow or Nuclear with Nuclear having a louder volume output and stock marshmallow having the option to use the super setting which I believe is just a tuning from ZTE to make the sound perceived as better with just boosted bass and treble and also a louder volume which is all classic tricks companies use to simulate high quality sound.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] QAM:
Hola

Very well put together write up. I am sure that this is especially useful for other audiophiles like yourself, particularly given that sound output from this device was a main selling point / feature for many.

That aside we must also give credit to the likes of people like Carl [MENTION=4911249]Unjustified Dev[/MENTION], [MENTION=3044858]DrakenFX[/MENTION], the mysterious anonymous dev (who was kind enough to fix the sound issue for third party ROMs) and a few others. Without their hard work and time we would still have piss poor audio on this relatively decent device.

"So what you want me to do 'bout that?"
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] cfbruck:
Yeah, thanks for the write up!

Another tip for those of us who have been somewhat disappointed by the audio on this device (which after all is selling as a hifi-phone; the meizu pro 5 I had before was way way better...)

Try an audio mod called Ainur Pandora, here on xda. Its not an enhancement or equalizer thing, but rather an audiophile mod, changing audio libs or something (no idea how it works) to use the hardware better. For me it was a big improvement, at bit like changing the mixer paths file that you suggested earlier, but better. I'm starting to feel satisfied with the sound now, the weak point being the treble quality I think, but that is probably inherent in the hardware implementation.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mcsti:
Can Ainur Pandora be installed on Stock ROM or the ROM should definitely be LOS based?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] senny22:
Will try thanks.
