[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Choobilsky:
Just want to thank you for the preview release. Flashed it today on top of genesixxbf3's RR nightly with Llama sweet Kernel. As recommended I flashed the latest Magisk Beta with your Patch. Boot took its time - love your boot animation - but everything is running perfect without any issue. Phone is super snappy, memory management is amazing, Magisk passes SN check, sound is great, so I don't have to tweak it with V4A and Dolby Atmos. What I really like is to have the look and feel of RR with all of its options, but with even better performance. There is just one thing I miss and that's the proximity option for the phone speaker. If you could merge that into your patch somehow...

Thanks a lot for your great build. Waiting for the final release. What's the routine for any update of ROM or Patch? Does dirty flash work?

Update: Mics and speakers work perfect in phone call. Definitely better than in pure RR and even better than in stock ROM. It's the first time the mics are used effectively to reduce background noises in calls.

What really struck me: I reinstalled Viper4Android (by Ahrion, v1.4) as a Magisk module - and it didn't break safety net check. Before I flashed Light patch Ahrion's modules broke safety net pass on my phone, regardless whether I did a clean install or a dirty flash. No way .

Battery is brilliant. Status dropped 1 % point over night. So, Great job!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Miustone:
Wow! Much Thanks for the positiv and detailed Feedback! I'm glad that i can contribute something to make the Axon 7 Experience even better...

About updating.

I think it has negative effects if the Patch get's flashed without a Wipe of at least the Data Partition. Better is to make always a full Wipe including the System, Caches and Data. That is caused by the Hundreds of new Functions and Services which get added. A System who was already running and optimized will cause Problems after applying the Patch. Some Services and Functions do just not start, others get changed and can cause random Reboots and Bootloops. I recommend to skip some Patch Releases if You don't want to make all few Days a full Wipe. The best procedure should be to update the Patch combined with the ROM. So once a new ROM update is out (A Update that You want to flash) should You also download the latest Patch Version to flash it on Top.

The full Potential of the Patch does just unfold after some Days of usage (Companion, Battery, Multitasking). I faced massive slowdowns on many ROMs after some Time of usage and the Patch does also prevent that pretty well. So it's aimed to run as long as possible on a Device. The Point is... I do still don't know how to handle all that. I could for example take V1.2 as a stable, which gets updated with the latest Tools and Files from Time to Time. And besides that could i continue with the development of it on a "Beta Channel" aka V1.3. Means 2 ZIPs. One for Users who want to use the Patch as long as possible, and One for the Users who do always want the latest Stuff. How does that sound to You?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Choobilsky:
Thanks for the detailed response.

Well, I used to flash new RR nightlies once or twice a week, but it is pretty time consuming and the benefit is marginal, to be true. I couldn't tell you any differences between the releases. What really made a difference was

- the Llama sweet Kernel by genesixxbf3, which massively tweaked performance and battery efficiency

- your patch, which brought another upgrade in look and feel, especially regarding mics management, overall performance and a reliable solution for Magisk hide - and this is a beta release.

If I understand your argument right, not to touch a running system too much, I would follow the idea of a separate beta channel, once the 1.2 patch is released. It seems to me that some of the apps you integrated into your patch, interact with the ROM/system in other ways than apps installed from PlayStore. Yesterday the HTC camera updated in the background and instantly FC whenever I started it. So I pulled my tibu backup and everything was fine again. I unticked automatic updates for the HTC apps (Companion, camera...) and will just wait for your update. Updating the Kernel didn't affect the patched ROM so far.

After two days of intensive playing around the patched RR is running so smoothly like never before. It beats my wife's OP 3T even in performance ;), screen and sound being superior anyway.

Thanks again. When will you release 1.2 ?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] joemossjr:
Found a bug. Middle of the night checked my phone to see my alarm wasn't on so I turned it back on and when I woke up again it was off again turns out it had to do with the battery manager smart manager and it had the clock app on the smart sleep list and once I put it on the never sleep alarm clock stayed and went off this morning.

Are you running active substratum overlays? I had marginal issues which disappeared, after I deactivated the overlays involved.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] joemossjr:
No stock lineage
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Choobilsky:
Got a bug to report. After taking a video, HTC Camera app FC in the saving process. Saved file is corrupt. Same happens with MX Camera app, open camera and within WhatsApp. Shooting fotos is fine. Known issue?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] acui:
Where does version 1.2 download? I can't find it, thank you!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Choobilsky:
Go to light website and check the preview folder. It's not the final 1.2 release but the second preview - and it's really good, stable, fast. Magisk Hide is working perfectly, the sound is great, especially in phone calls. There is only a video bug to solve...

For Magisk follow the recommended flash schedule.

Is your dial-up interface htc11? I chose HTC when I flash, but finally pix has a nice wave interface?

What is the best mic placement setting for using the patch on the azon 7 ?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Choobilsky:
One up one down. Works perfect. Never had clear and noise free phone calls before.

Small bug to report: lock screen rotates automatically although auto rotate is deactivated in display settings.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Miustone:
Thanks for the Feedback! Which ROM are You using, Sure it is not OS related?

Can anyone confirm? It works well on MoKee for Me...

BR:cowboy:
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] *mj13*:
Works fine for me also on AEX rom
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Choobilsky:
RR unofficial by genesixxbf3. Shall I pull a bug report?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Miustone:
If it does also bug around without the Patch too of course. It could be System UI Tweak related since RR has a lot of customization Options that can conflict with Others..

Another Reason can be the unofficial State of the used RR (Customized Builds).

Are there maybe Official ones which You could Test?

BR
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Choobilsky:
Thanks for the feedback. I'm running this RR for months now without issues. But you may be right that the two issues (auto rotating lock screen and corrupted video files) are caused by conflicting customization options. I sent you a bug log to the video issue last week as a private message.

I tend to wait for your 1.2 release and do a new clean install.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] nolimit78:
Has anyone also noticed the super aggressive app management for this patch? It seems like it shuts everything down 10 seconds after I lock the screen. While that's doing a number for my battery, I'm missing all notifications and widgets stop syncing constantly. Just seeing if it was just me.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] troy5890:
Haven't tried it, but you could go to your kernel manager and tweak the low memory killer to adjust the aggressive nature of the RAM.

Hey [MENTION=4756773]Miustone[/MENTION], i installed Light Patch over Mokee because you seem to like it and today a new version was released. Do I have to reflash Light Patch after doing the OTA package from Mokee?

Also, HTC Camera broke for me after updating via Play Store.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Miustone:
Hello,

OTA Packages are overwriting the existing Files on a System, You need to Patch it again after installing the OTA. You don't need to make wipes in this Case, but You have maybe to debloat the System again.

I will introduce with the next Versions a One Click Install on AROMA which will save some Time on doing that. It will also be able to save Your Choices for the next install. Hope that makes it less Time intensive to Update Your Devices...

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] killacam1989:
I'm sorry but... I went to the website and couldn't download it off the website. Am I missing something?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Miustone:
Move over to the Light Tab and Check the Google Drive Folders. I do still recommend the Preview Version till i can release the final Version. You maybe want to Update or Magisk or SuperSU after the pathching so download the needed ZIP for it also...

BR:cowboy:
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] joemossjr:
I was using this until I realised it messes with the lockable rotation and makes it to where you can't record 4k on the camera
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] guest000:
Is there a way to revert/uninstall this patch?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] *mj13*:
Edit
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] piet8stevens:
1. Install the backup you made before you patched.

2. If you did not make a backup before the patch, completely wipe your phone and reinstall your rom.

;)

Sorry. Could not let this go.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] theuxus:
Negative value of Storage space.

After Patching my clear brand-new RR with Light I've got strange info about storage: it says "-80Gb free out of 29.00smthg". I blame partition trimming that was done at the end of patching. Clear ROM flash doesn't fixes it. HALP! =)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] awsomjgp:
Los bug. Nothing to worry about, just a graphical glitch with any sd card. Any other app will display it correctly.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Miustone:
The Trimming is bugless.

Rule One of Patching: If You face a Bug, make Sure it isn't OS related before reporting it here ?

Btw. I'm about to buy the Axon 7... It's still One of the best Devices and there is No other Phone like that. Heavy Sounding Stereo Sound, Daydream Display, Navbar with Clean Symbols and WITHOUT A UGLY FRONT BUTTON.

ZTE is the better OP! Instead of wasting My Money for a OP5 with his ugly Design and 1080p Display, do i spent it into a Axon 7.

What Do You think Folks? Should i?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] piet8stevens:
Absolutely. No hesitation necessary. I am totally happy with the phone, but especially with the screen + I run it with 2 sim cards and an SD card, so tons of storage. 2 small niggles only: a bit heavy (so in all likelihood also very sturdy) and buttons are not backlit - but at night, I switch to soft buttons.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] mariusfl0rian:
I really recommend it brother, hope you will make this decision.

Thanks
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Miustone:
I like it heavy :) It was a Fight between the XZ Premium VS Axon 7 (Premium 6+128+Force Touch). But even with SD835 and 4K HDR no Daydream/VR Support on the XZP (Damn). Now was there a Offer - Axon 7 Grey (4+64-Force Touch) for 300 bucks (Buyed this Year on Amazon Germany). Against 414€ for the Axon 7 Premium (Chinese Import). So i think i'll Take the used One for 300€. It would come this Weekend vs Up to 20 Days for the Import of the Chinese Premium Model of the Axon 7...

Hope i will Not regret it. But be prepared Folks! I will Push a lot of Work in this Baby once it's here... It's at least a worthy Upgrade of My Nexus 6 (Close as possible to it) and it will also replace My LG G5 (Sucky Device). Hope the next Axon comes not that soon :rolleyes:
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Miustone:
Double posted, thx XDA! ?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] *mj13*:
I am not able to pull the log for the video record error for next few days. If anyone else can and post it here that would help.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Miustone:
No hurry! My Axon 7 comes soon. I can Take it by myself if needed. Be prepared for a Patch Update! There will come a lot of Changes with My new Baby :cowboy:

But a Log could Tell Me what You need to Change to make the latest Preview fully working right now. It could be as example:

persist.camera.tnr.video

which is actually enabled. It's a Pixel Camera Feature which isn't Working on all Devices/Cameras. Disabling it could fix the Video Recording but let's See what the Logs say...
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Choobilsky:
In June 22 I uploaded a log of the video bug. See my post of that day.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Miustone:
Missed it somehow. I will take a Look! Sorry and Thanks for it! :angel:

ADD: My Axon 7 is on the Way, possible that i get it before Monday. Really excited about it after Your Replies Guys. What a warm Welcome... :cowboy:
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] marcdw:
On a side note regarding the lack of a backlight, I was searching for something unrelated and came across an interesting post. The use of an app called Screen Overlays to place markers at the bottom of the screen to denote position of capacitive buttons.

Decided to give it a try. Took a bit of doing to get a feel for the app and position the buttons. So far they don't get in the way of anything. Works out pretty well in low light as I usually start tapping for the back button too far to the left. :)

Hmm, bummer. I can't post a screenshot. Here's a link...

Thank you for the Screen Overlay app. Does what it says and very useful for our A7 but fiddly indeed.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Miustone:
I will also take a look on it. Waiting for My new Baby right now... Hope it comes soon ? Not sure which Navigation I will use. The Handling of it is interesting, do AOSP ROMs provide a Option to switch? What about Stock? It has a Option to switch the buttons but what about disabling them? So much to explore... ?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] piet8stevens:
You can switch by editing build.prop. If you search the AospExtended thread, you will find the precise instructions and also a zip that changes it for you. Not sure how to disable.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Choobilsky:
AEX allows you to completely disable hardware buttons and use smartbar instead, or fling.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] piet8stevens:
Correct that you can use the smartbar (which is wat I did until this Screen Overlays solution came up), but then the hardware buttons are still enabled on my phone.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Miustone:
Good to know! Just ordered a SONY MDR-NC750BK Headset. I will make it work with the Patch Audio System. That should allow Noise Canceling on a insanely good Level and real High-Res Output with 24-32Bits. Can't wait to crank up the Axon 7 Audio...

What Do You prefer? AOSP or Stock/MiFavor? I think Stock has better Audio!?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Choobilsky:
But there is the option to disable them and it works
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Choobilsky:
As I wrote in June, when I used your patch on RR unofficial, your Light Audio beats stock audio. Besides, the ZTE stock ROM is the ugliest piece of code I ever saw, right from the boot animation...
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] piet8stevens:
Thx. You are right & I did not know.

---------- Post added at 11:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 PM ----------

AOSP please. Your patch is the only solution I know to the sound call bug. I want to run it with nanomod to remain gappless (both on magisk). That has been a challenge so far.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Miustone:
AOSP sounds good to Me. The Patch can support all AOSP Variants and a wide range of Devices which are Powered by Snapdragons. The CAF rebasing of the most AOSP Projects was also useful. CAF brings more Power which ends in a better overall Quality in the Processing of Input, Video and Audio. Even My Nexus 6 can handle the actual Preview Patch which is pretty cool...

Can't wait to see what I'm able to get out of the awesome Audio Chips in our Axon7 Devices. I'm a Audio Nerd and I'm pretty sure the Axon 7 will be outstanding...
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Miustone:
What a awesome Phone! Dedicated Power Button/Fingerprint reader, Gapless Metal Body, heavyweight... It feels gorgeous!

1 Thing I regret about. That I don't had it earlier...

My G5 is blamed ?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] nfsmw_gr:
Nice!

Glad you like our Axon. :)

I got the same case btw, great cheap case, has a kickstand as well. ;)

Only thing is some headphone cables don't fit.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Miustone:
They where for free, good enough. I was watching out for another One but that has Time :angel:

Just unlocked My Baby a few Minutes ago. Not that easy with the G Model but all good for now. TWRP works and My Patch was running over Stock 7.1.1. Ended up in a Bootloop but i don't care. LinageOS is downloading for now, want to try it out with the latest Preview. After that will i start with the optimization of it...

Stock has already great Sound (Loud, Details), but i think the Patch can enhance that even more. Let the fun begin :D
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Miustone:
I'm amazed ! The Axon 7 works so well with the Patch...

What are Your Favorite ROMs Guys`? I'm about to try Pure Nexus and AOSP Extended but not sure... Is there no AOSPA`? :/

AOSP Extended. Buttery smooth and customizable.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Miustone:
I will give it a try today, but i'm really missing Dark ROM from [MENTION=5445418]Dark_Eyes_[/MENTION] here. The Axon 7 is the really last Nexus somehow and the Dark ROM does totally fits in that together with My Patch. Pure Nexus is cool, but i'm not a Fan of it...

Hope we will see the Dark ROM and AOSPA someday... :angel:

Did you solve the video crash issue?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Miustone:
The Log wasn't clear enough. I tried to replicate the Issue but i faced that 4K Video recording is fine on the Latest LinageOS Nightly. Now is the Camera crashing in Picture Mode... Used Matlog to read the Events but there are a lot of them. Think i need some help with that. Jishnu could be the Man. He has made a lot of Camera Ports and is advanced in reading Camera Events...

A easy solution could be to remove the Camera Enhancements again. But this is something which i do as last Option... Can You or someone else do some more testing? HTC Camera, Open Camera, Stock Camera, Google Camera...(On different ROMs) Some Feedback would help a lot...

I didn't plan to maintain axon 7 at first. I'm doing that on my own, and maintaining a lot of devices is hard and time consuming. I have less and less free time so I can't do everything that I'd like. I can certainly put up a build from time to time, but I uploaded all my sources, so if someone wanted it would be possible to get unofficial builds.

As for the model and bootloader needed, please look on the official lineage os thread. I merely take their device and kernel repos, so my rom will behave exactly like official lineage os.
