I had been having data connection issues for a while but as I am on wifi most of the time, had not bothered to check. I have a A2017G with universal bootstack and corresponding modem. I did not have data with 4.5 (both the 0809 and 0811 versions) and went back to the 0717 but had the same problem. When I switch my Settings>SIM Cards>Sim 2 Settings>Preferred network type to GSM/WCDMA/LTE, I get data (but slow). When I am on Global or LTE, I do not have data. Same with my other sim card. So, it seems this issue has been there for a while and depends on the Preferred network type setting. Can others check & confirm?

Notes:

1. I have done all dirty flashes over prior versions of AospExtended.

2. Am doing a clean flash now and will report back re. data after clean flash.

3. Report back from clean flash of the 0811 version: when my Preferred network type is on Global, no data. When I switch it to GSM/WCDMA/LTE, I have data. When on LTE, I get no connection at all (0 bars). I flashed the 0811 version, the patch for the buttons and nanomod12.0.

4. One more update: tested on another ROM (RR, 0811 version) and no problems with data. Also clean flash, magisk13.3, nanomod12.0.

Did the 0811 update. Everything seems good so far, but the fingerprint scanner, seems to work randomly...

I can confirm that V4A is working on the speakers on the 6/19 build. Will try the newest build later.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
Ok ran in a complete circle through versions, but I figured it out. Poweramp breaks V4A.

After a reboot everything works as expected. Play something through Poweramp and V4A will no longer process audio through anything until reboot.

I was playing a song though Blackplayer after V4A was killed by Poweamp. Uninstalled Poweramp while the song was playing, and V4A started processing immediately.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] beastobadness:
In Poweramp, did you have DVC enabled?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
Disabling this did not allow processing for Poweramp. It did allow V4A to process other apps without having to restart.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] beastobadness:
I just say because DVC is known to break V4A processing. Will have to test myself.

Which dev version V4A are you using?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
Magisk Module by Viper520, version 2.5.0.5, original (Non-Material)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] beastobadness:
I have just tested and running shadysquirrel's magisk module for v15, works fine on magisk v16...latest Poweramp beta, DVC disabled... processing fine here on speaker.

Give shadysquirrel's a go, maybe as simple as that
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Choobilsky:
I'm on 6.21 build and V4A is working for the speakers. A2017 with hellsgate x5 and magisk 16.4
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
Guess I did not have the latest beta, that did the trick... and needed to turn off DVC.

Also, I may give this beta a good run and put down Blackplayer for a bit. Who am I kidding, I'm just going to use Spotify.

Edit: for the Google impaired https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/max-m...a-preview-build-790-uni-android-apk-download/
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] beastobadness:
Nice one. Latest Poweramp beta is not bad at all...remember trying it on release day from the forum and it was terrible. Looks like Max has improved it greatly...glad it sorted it for you[emoji106]
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
Was just trying to get it sorted for [MENTION=5586933]Masterjuggler[/MENTION] and so that I could add the disclaimer to the install guide. I know a lot of people use Poweramp, so I wanted to make sure the guide worked for them. I will change the V4A module to Shady Squirrel, not because I noticed any difference, it's just a simpler install.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Masterjuggler:
[MENTION=8456254]EBeatFLA[/MENTION] - Thanks for taking the time to play around with it. How exactly did you guys get the shadysquirrel variant to install properly? It seems like it installs and I can access the app, but the driver can't install, just gives me an I/O error. I'm on Hellsgate X5, may have to try stock kernel to see if that's the issue, unless you are also not on stock. Viper520's installed without an issue.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] beastobadness:
Yeah I am on stock now, also had shadysquirrel's module working on CAD with no issues. You shouldn't need to install the driver as it is included in the module install

---------- Post added at 02:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:20 AM ----------

Had a look at your guide and it is really comprehensive, lot of work there, big kudos[emoji106]

I would say this and please don't take this the wrong way but advising folks on settings for V4A is a bold move as everyone's listening preferences are different. I am no audiophile but I know what a good set of cans sound like from recent experience and if using HiRes audio there is no need for V4A, saying that I totally understand that V4A can turn the sound from a cheap set of phones into something very good. Are the headphone V4A settings for the in-box stock ZTE buds?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
Thank you, it was needed.

Believe me, I am aware of what happens when audio settings get shared and discussed. A lot of chasing ghosts.

The headphone settings were set using KrystalMyth's suggestions earlier in this thread and then I dialed back the intensity while listening on multiple devices, none were the ZTE headphones.

I am just hoping to provide a more universal starting point, nothing tailor made. If I failed and it becomes an issue, I'll remove my settings and leave just the disclaimer about settings being subjective.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Masterjuggler:
[MENTION=8456254]EBeatFLA[/MENTION] [MENTION=4219258]beastobadness[/MENTION] - Okay, after much fiddling, I finally managed to get Shadysquirrel's V4A installed by uninstalling AML, reboot, install V4A, reboot, install AML, reboot. Driver is installed. After all that, it actually doesn't work with either speakerphone or headphones, DVC on or off. Well crap. At least with Viper520's version, I could get it to work with headphones. EBeat, you might want to add a YMMV note to your instructions, or something to that effect. Dolby is good enough for speakers for the time being for me, I don't have the patience to really mess with it and take logs just for V4A.

beastobadness, he does note in his instructions that those settings are just a starting point, and I think it's good to have them there.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Cablespider:
I have no problem with the V4A mod maintained by Zackptg5 (1.6.9) and the latest AEX. Shadysquirrels mod has been nonfunctional for me for quite some time now.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] amaury48:
Is there a change log for DU 6/20 weekly?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
That's odd, it's working for me, even combined with Ainur Sauron. However, I could never use the Material version I see you are using. Every time I try it, I get glitchy sound.

It's looking that there is still no one-size fits all situation for V4A install. I'll update the guide to reflect this.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Nameless One:
Haven't seen one, but I had major problems with notification sounds in apps and with selecting new sounds for notification. The countdown timer in Timely wouldn't go fully over to the stop button and sound when the timer expired, it would just hang midway. When selecting sounds (in various apps, not just Timely) the selection layer was very unresponsive and it wouldn't play samples for selected sounds.

This was with a dirty flash from the previous DU version, not sure if a clean install would have been better. I have subsequently moved to AEX since the other ROMs seem to be on a somewhat uncertain schedule and I prefer things like the Dolby support "sooner" rather than "eventually".

I do understand the tremendous load of supporting even just one ROM so I'm not complaining, I have wanted to get into ROM compiling/building for quite some time but the scant instructions when eventually found always seemed to be missing bits and assuming significant prior ROM building knowledge in the bits that were there.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Masterjuggler:
[MENTION=8456254]EBeatFLA[/MENTION] and anyone else interested - Okay, so you guys're gonna love this: I just installed Viper520's version again, installed perfectly fine, and works with both speakers and headphones, with Poweramp, with DVC enabled. I then realized that my Dolby refused to open without crashing so I reinstalled AML, now Dolby works but V4A doesn't process either headphones or speakers. *shrug*

So for me, it's one or the other. Which is probably fine anyway, no one needs both running at the same time. I'll have to play around to see what I like better, but I'll probably stick with Dolby because I like the way it makes the speakers sound but I dislike changing the way my headphones sound.

Again, for the record, I'm on AEX 6/21 Hellsgate X5. If anyone has differing results (that are repeatable, unlike my ridiculous phone), please feel free to chime in.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
I'll note that disabling Dolby Atmos isn't enough, it needs to be removed.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Choobilsky:
I use shadysquirrel's V4A with AEX6/21, X5 and magisk 16.4. No issues since I use no further modules but audio lib. But I remember that installing that jojoc v3.2 module couple of days ago broke V4A. Driver would no install any more. So I erased jojoc and everything is fine. Battery life is pretty good with alucard/noop on x5
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] ramnkc:
Sorry buddy, where is your install guide? Can share it again? Sorry about that :(
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Masterjuggler:
It's linked to in the OP near the bottom of the post.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Infy_AsiX:
I much prefer zacptg5's all in one V4A that is compatible with other "unity audio modification library". It doesn't require driver install in the app so is simpler, AML install fixes that. AML ensures their audio mods work together be sure to reinstall it after all other unity audio mods, check the text output to confirm. I still prefer the old 2.4.0.3 V4A option for it's included graphic equaliser display and super audio driver.

So what's different with the new Dolby support? Does it still fail to auto switch remembered state when plug/unplug and not sound terrible compared to stock (only interested in speakers)?

alucard/noop ? What is that?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Infy_AsiX:
I've been hitting a lot of hurdles moving to a clean new RR. After several hours I'm still only half setup, though I do have a lot of customisation and backups to transition. A good idea is to create a twrp backup after a major mod to return to in event of a failure as you setup. Leave enough space on internal because it backs up much faster than SD, it's only a few minutes.

Magisk Xposed wouldn't install on Magisk 16.4 so I've gone back to 16. Xposed sytemless breaks to say installed but not active after a restart, apparently some conflict with a recent security patch. Moving to system Xposed is fine, I've noticed there's a new systemless update for the same Xposed version that might help.

Similarly I had to update my V4A magisk version, the old version app would uninstall after a reboot. All these oddities just with a few month older 8.1. So much backend changes it seems in ROM alone that even clean flashing has difficult changes let alone dirty flashing. I'm normally too lazy to clean flash but the new bootstack kept bootlooping dirty so clean was the way to try to fix that. I'm keeping a list of backups and tasks so clean flash updating is simpler in future.

Hey all,

Sorry if this is answered somewhere in the 362 pages of this thread but I haven't found it. Is there a way to fix the call audio bug? I never hear sound on incoming calls...
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Masterjuggler:
I don't recall if there has been an actual fix yet, I don't think so, but the default dialer app is modified by NFound to have a proximity speakerphone setting that acts as a workaround for the bug.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] DarkQuark:
I just use the Google dialer instead. Seems to solve it.

anyone have insight on battery life with X5 vs stock?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Masterjuggler:
Personally in my situation, it's a night and day difference. Interactive governor is tweaked for better battery, and alucard is just fantastic. I also disabled cpu boost and still have no ui lag. I left the phone off the charger and went to sleep, 7 hours later it lost 0%.

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] privatedoodle:
I installed gapps with the google dialer and it doesn't work. Is that the one you use, or did you find the dialer somewhere else?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] DarkQuark:
I installed "Phone" by Google from the Play store. I am not sure if that is the same one as in gapps . I am also running latest aex with hellsgate x5.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] privatedoodle:
Proximity speakerphone? Not sure I understand but I'm happy to give it a shot. I'll reinstall without the google dialer and try the stock one. Does his workaround fix the audio issue for bluetooth as well? Most of my calls are in the car.

I love this rom but unreliable calling is unfortunately a dealbreaker for me. Hopefully I can figure out a solution!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Masterjuggler:
It does exactly what it sounds like, cycles the speakerphone according to the proximity sensor. So if it's away from your face, it turns speakerphone on, then off when it's against your face. This automatically cycles the speakerphone as a call hug workaround. I haven't had an issue in months with this on.

I'm not sure if Bluetooth is affected, I never use it.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Oki:
Is it only me or the recents screen scroller framerate is unusually low in the latest EAX ROM? It forced me to use slim recents to avoid that. It was depressing. latest RR and DU don't have that issue.

So I noticed on the 6/21 and the 6/23 builds that the notifications light is kinda messed up. With Textra it doesn't work at all, no blinking or staying on. Doesn't matter what color. 6/19 works fine.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] privatedoodle:
I'm on 6/23 with Hellsgate X5. No audio mods. Using the Google dialer from opengapps 6/23. Everything seems solid, but when I receive a call I can't hear the other person. They can hear me just fine, and everything works fine if I place the call.

I had the same issue on 6/11 and I dirty flashed the current rom. I guess it's time to wipe and start over..

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Choose an username...:
I don't know if you sorted it out already, but that's because of selinux. Just turn it permissive and use it. I find the highs on shadysquirrel's version vastly superior to viper520's, to the point that i just can't use the other one at all

I'm pretty sure it's set to permissive by default? At least when I look at the phone info in Android settings, it says permissive.

I've also got notification LED issues. Anyone know what's going on?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] ramnkc:
I notice if on stanby then notification come in then it stayed blinking, but once i unlocked my screen then it went off..... and messages remained unread. And i also noticed if i'm on launcher home then it won't blink as well.... i'm on stock kernel and have jojoc 2.1 installed... but i disable jojoc i noticed it the same way as well.... so i'm not sure its an issues or buy or its being design in such way.

Anyway, Always on clock misaligned issue still remain [MENTION=5492451]NFound[/MENTION].
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Masterjuggler:
That's the way it's always been in my experience. I've never seen the notification light when the screen has been on, ever. My problem is I'm just not getting notification lights at all, even with new messages and the screen off.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Choose an username...:
Nah you're right. It just works when it wants to work on AEX. On stock and some other systems it's because of SELinux

I had it working for like a month in aex, and it stopped working all of a sudden. I switched to the other version and it works fine. Seems to have ok highs on AEX anyways, so that's good
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] roisuke:
In regards to anyone having led notification issues: whenever I install textra on a cleanly flashed aex rom I always press and hold on the textra app icon and go app info > app notifications, and scroll down to led light notifications. Every single time, "blink light" is toggled off by default and I always make sure to turn it on. Led notifications have been working perfectly for me ever since so I'd say it's worth a check.

can stop apps from running at boot in the privacy guard advanced section. Keep in memory I use xposed module AppsSettings, resident option. I can recommend Xbridge too to shortcut from the app info screen straight to specific AppsSettings. A trick to getting a notification when an app installs with run on boot is xposed module Bootmanager, doesn't work since MM for stopping boot but still notifies.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] dwnoel:
Yes it seems that something is broken with LED.

I follow the advice of [MENTION=7340768]roisuke[/MENTION] to check the parameter for missed calls (same of sms); and discover than, even setting the parameter 'Blink light' to ON, that change is not saved when I come back in the same page (@NFound maybe ready only at system level?)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Masterjuggler:
I also have the issue where the bottom blink light option doesn't stick. The top one does but doesn't seem to do anything. Not sure what the difference is between the two.

Some apps blink fine, others don't. My textra and Tapatalk don't show a light, where Gmail and hangouts do. I don't see a difference in the notification settings that would explain it.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Infy_AsiX:
Actually I actually prefer an old app that still works called Autostarts. It stops apps from launching via other methods such as events and intents too. Can use servicely to restrict too. Greenify is more a sleep after been opened app. With Autostarts you see the amount of unnecessary triggers and bloat in apps including Gapps, no wonder battery life between users is so varied. Can also suggest BetterBatteryStats for checking up on what wakelocks and alarms drain the battery.
