You running AEX? I don't seem to find privacy guard as you mentioned.....

---------- Post added at 12:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:41 AM ----------

There are couple of apps which does that but what i prefer is something like ZTE or huawei which allows user to control which app can auto start at boot, secondary/delay start, keep awake, allow deep sleep and etc. In android it can't find any apps which allows to do all in one place... hopefully some dev may find some time to port it over.

Reason i'm asking this as i felt as i tested AEX / RR / DU, it appears there are memory drain and in Nougat stock normally it will last me through out the day as i unplugged at 6am and at night i still have around 20% before i went to bed around 10pm... with moderate usage... but now with AEX / RR it only left 30% at 4pm.... which is horrible to me :(
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Infy_AsiX:
It's originally a CM feature ported to AOSP ROMs. On latest RR it's moved to Security & privacy, Trust, Privacy Guard.

Yeah all those can be done separately via ROM feature or root. An all in one would be difficult to best each specialised tool which has finer control.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] ramnkc:
Unfortunately AEX doesn't seems to have it....
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Soyunamortz:
On aex they are present ...

Extensions ... System - appops
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Infy_AsiX:
Oops yeah it doesn't have it. It's got AppOps which has the same thing for listing boot apps. Privacy Guard is improved for better features still. Or buy that Autostarts app for it's features, it's old though don't know if any better app exists.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] ramnkc:
I tried that and its not working to be honest... i tried and set one of the app does not keep awake but its awake on the background.

Confirming that running alucard with hellsgate x5 gives me better battery life. Discharging speed screen on improve by 2%/h (was 17, now 15%/h) and screen off by 0.1%/h (was 1, now .9%/h). HOWEVER, I do notice lag with alucard so I stopped using it for now.

install kernel aduitor from app store then go to CPU tab and change big governor & small governor from interactive to alucard. You can try turning off cpu boost below it too to test

Question to who so ever it's running dirty unicorns latest release , it's there any privacy guard bake into the Rom ?

Thanks in advance
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Masterjuggler:
You know, I have no problem helping people out when they ask a question that they've already tried to find out the answer to. It's not expected that you know everything from birth, but it is expected you put in the minimum effort. I just googled "Alucard interactive kernel" and came up with a whole bunch of information explaining what they are and how to use them.

Do your own research and try to understand what it is you're doing before messing with this stuff. You are screwing around with a device you paid several hundred dollars for and is quite possibly at the center of your life, socially and/or professionally.

you've misunderstood. Keep awake permission keeps the screen on when the app is in foreground. To remove an app background you should use apps like greenify/servicely.

Are you still running PE?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] troy5890:
No need to flash gapps. It's integrated in the downloaded zip. Took a little hassle to get magisk installed, but it seems to be working fine now. I'm still running it and it's been pretty consistent

Figured out Magisk 16.4 works for me on F2FS data, cache with latest no encryption RR-O. The catch is it can't install any modules in recovery, only in manager and I can't get Adaway working with it.

edit: Can get Adaway hosts installed systemless Magisk 16 then install 16.4 to use. Have to redo to update hosts
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Masterjuggler:
The main problem I had was the manager refused to open and I lost root whenever I tried using the repackaging hide function. For some reason that killed it every time. I'm curious, does it do the same for you?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Infy_AsiX:
Nope, been setting up from clean but haven't had that. Only used 16 before 16.4 and could install in recovery there.

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Infy_AsiX:
I've found a significant audio bug affecting CPU performance that's new on B12 RR, my last used build was older B32+10. I noticed while only playing Spotify my phone was heating up. I've attached some screenshots. The first two is the bug showing the process, load and Spotify playing. The last two is the same thing on older B32+10 RR for comparison with no process or extra load while Spotify playing. The audio bug sits around 50% usage which is significant to cause definite lag in intensive tasks. I'd been wondering what the lag cause I'd noticed since B12 was, considering it never existed before.

Question is, is this a new bug to bootstack B12 or RR build specific? I'm going to have to revert back to the old ROM for performance if it can't be fixed. Even if performance doesn't matter to you it's large power and battery consumption, can see the CPU frequencies locked high. I tried the other kernels and reflashed ROM before each, same issue. Note the last two screenshots were done on hellsgate though but with the same overall Interactive governor settings.

Can check this for yourself play some music on headphones with root and Simple System Monitor. Active Processes sort by CPU. This line will be at the top using CPU where it shouldn't be /vendor/bin/hw/android.hardware.audio@2.0-service

Has anyone noticed any issues with making calls? I'm on the latest AEX and sometimes when people call me and I pick up, the other person can't hear me and I can't hear them. Same goes for when I make calls. Now, this is not everytime but It does happen often for me... Has anyone suffered from this problem like me?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] DarkQuark:
I have this as well from time to time. I normally use bluetooth so I get around it most of the time but using the phone without that will induce issues for me.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] maddhatter0311:
I'm also affected by this bug. I did a clean install (as I do with every new install) to the newest AEX (6/23). I also had this problem on the previous build before that (6/22). I didn't encounter the problem on the 6/19 build, but unfortunately I don't have that version anymore and can't redownload it since it's no longer on nfound's androidfilehost. I have it when using Bluetooth as well. I'm using hellsgate x6 kernel, magisk 16.4, the latest Ainur Sauron, and Viper520's viper4android fx magisk module.

I did a clean flash without the sound mods installed and I'm still being affected by it.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] janthe6th:
I moved back to stock kernel from x5 and alucard and I gotta say screen on and screen off discharging speed is pretty much the same minus the lag from alucard. Stock aex kernel rocks for me
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Dodgexander:
Have a read through what the devs say about the beta sources they were provided with from ZTE in the Lineage OS is thread. Basically they have done well even to get the phone to where it is on Oreo now.

It will be hard, if not impossible for them to fix the janked up thermal issues and stupid issues like this no doubt caused by running the phone on an unstable base.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] ramnkc:
Unfortunately i tried all the solution folks had posted but still AEX drain battery like hell... so i will give RR a try and see it also drains my battery...
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Choobilsky:
Same here. Didn't gain much battery using X5, but after a couple of days had issues like random reboots, broken magisk, FC of Android web view. Never happened with AEX stock kernel, which is rock solid. A2017 with [MENTION=5027381]OrdenKrieger[/MENTION]'s/@DrakenFX's universal Oreo Bootstack.

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Infy_AsiX:
I dirty flashed the old bootstack, kernel, twrp to that new ROM and the audio CPU issue was still there. Looking like it's either a RR or NFound build issue. Old builds are deleted from NFound's account so I can't start a clean old build there, moved to last Kranoner RR is ok.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] beastobadness:
There is a new 20180629 AEX build out today...very exciting stuff for me as hiRes music is officially working through Poweramp due to the audio changes. Sure NFound will post in due course.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Dodgexander:
Is there a reason why you are using the universal boostack from lineage os rather than the one Nfound has for AEX? Have you come across any issues with calls due to using the mismatched boostack?

You should try Lineage Oreo with the universal boostack and see if it happens. If it does then you know it's more of a universal problem.

Latest AEX build also made changes to the audio config so that may be worth a try too.

But ofc all of this is a pain in the ass, I wish things just worked better like you.

NFounds B12 Bootstack simply didn't install on my A2017, although I did complete wipes of everything. But after having a series of soft bricks, where bootloader would not start up, I finally had a bad hard brick and spent 2 hours disassemble and reassemble my device. Everything is fine with DrakenFX universal Bootstack. No bugs, no issues, perfect so far for weeks now.

So which boostack are you using then?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
Running stock kernel, today's build.

These B12 ROMs making me carry a charger around everywhere I go, not cool. But it is, the nature of the beta beast.

Highly recommend blocking all Google Location alarms, turning off WiFi Scanning, turning off Google Location History and Google Location Sharing.. If you have any of those on. Also trash the Google Fit app (so it does not reactivate Google Location History).

Anyone else have any tips for longer battery?

Actually considering going back to crDroid for my camping trip this weekend. Much battery life that ROM.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Infy_AsiX:
I've never had to clean flash repeat so many times in my life until the recent new bootstack and ROMS. Got the process streamlined now with a step list, just generally going to clean flash every time unless the changelog is only upstreaming the source. I recommended Autostarts not long ago for improving power performance, I found using another app MyAndroidTools can backup and restore all it's changes. Though MAT isn't on the Play Store anymore and the free version crashes often during the restore, but if you keep opening and trying it will eventually toast flash Done.

I prefer RR's features and Hellsgate final B32+10 features so I'm happy to stick with it for now.

I consider myself an audio enthusiast but hi-res isn't necessary when I'll very rarely access any hi-res files, I mostly just stream Spotify nowadays. Further from reading I understand it's commonly accepted that the benefit of hi-res music is mainly having a separate mastering process that's usually done better, meaning normal-res hardware will likely benefit just as much. The Ax7's DAC hardware implementation is only mid-fi which cuts the potential to hear any extra difference and you require premium headphones with frequency response equaliser limiting to even maybe possibly hear the most probably imperceptible difference. But at the end of the day specs sell, money talks.

---------- Post added at 12:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 AM ----------

Battery power control for me is Autostarts (prevent all unnecessary intents, triggers and sync wakeups), Greenify Xposed (check back in the app awhile after installing new apps to determine hogs), Servicely, ForceDoze, GravityBox Smart radio (use 2G/3G when network idle), WIFI Power Saver (wifi auto off after disconnected for X minutes) and Bluetooth Power Saver.

For kernel settings Hellsgate 3 particularly with undervolt -100mV only when screen on using Tasker, Alucard governor with hotplug and KSM off. ROM thermal throttle disabled so max 1 core on when screen off. Have a performance kernel settings profile only active when gaming. I don't know if new ROMS are ok with using the the old bootstack, kernel, twrp but they load up fine.

Maybe check if it's my recent post about playing Music audio bug CPU drain.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
Previously on AEX Nougat final and the later B32+B10 builds, I could go through a day at work without needing a charge. So I've never had to make anything battery friendly. Kept Location at High Accuracy... WiFi, Data, NFC on all the time... Bright screen... Google Fit tracking all my moves. Still good to go.

Now I gotta work for that juice... The beta beast, damn you!!!

Oh yeah, now that location alarms are out of the way it's better, but the next biggest drain was Spotify... I'll tinker some more after my trip. Gonna flip this B around and throw crDroid on it so I can enjoy it.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] janthe6th:
Thank you for the detailed options. Question about Forcedoze: would it stop phone from pushing notifications? also how is it different from Greenify? I searched around there are other apps like Servicely, Naptime and I see mixed reviews for all of them (including Forceddoze and Greenify)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Infy_AsiX:
I use all the apps I listed together, they each have separate purposes. I edited a bit of extra info back in that post.

- Servicely is only really for preventing an app's "service", it's really rare to need this, more of a last resort for a specific service while Greenify can stop everything about an app.

- ForceDoze was the first Doze mod, Naptime is another devs version, FD works well with all required features last I checked awhile back. I think Greenify and Servicely have their own custom Doze options too, I don't use them as FD is specific, complete and therefore recommended for custom Doze. FD idea is to improve Google's Doze feature to sleep immediately and ignore motion sensors. You still get push notifications through Google Cloud Messaging and the successor FirebaseCM, by your cellular signal (look these up for details), probably just with some delay rather than instant. Speaking of notifications and clean flashing, you shouldn't restore backup data for net messaging apps which can break their GCM FCM. Greenify shows a indicator next to GCM apps in its list, dunno about FCM prob should.

- Greenify is about "hibernating" apps, forcing them away without closing them. With Xposed it gets some extra unique benefits.

As for mixed reviews, as with people's opinions and understanding it's always a mixed bag. I fully recommend each for their specific purpose as the best at that job, as far as I know and have seen. If people don't have it working or have some unreasonable expectation they'll leave a bad review which doesn't reflect the quality or purpose of the app. To not go off topic I suggest searching and posting on their respective threads or PM me.

Hey guys it's been a while since I've been around here since the new Oreo bootstack update and what not. Just wanted to ask how stable the ROM is and how smooth the update is reflashing everything, or more importantly is it worth the trouble?

Thanks in advance,
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Masterjuggler:
Other than the eternal struggle for more battery, I have been extremely happy with AEX. IMO it's worth it just for the security updates and proper encryption support. With more personal info (passwords, financial info, etc) being stored on phones, it's def worth the effort.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Cablespider:
You'll get varying answers to that question, both on stabilty results and install difficulty. We don't know your level of expertise. Should something go wrong it may or not be trouble at all. You'll have to decide on whether to take the plunge or not. I have no major issues and made the transition with little effort while others have pulled their hair out.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Masterjuggler:
Yeah, as far as difficulty of upgrading goes, you really should be fine if you just follow the guide by EBeatFLA (linked to in the OP), but issues do come up, from strange incompatibilities to user errors, so it is expected that you do your homework and actually understand what it is you're doing. If you just blindly follow some stranger's instructions on the internet, know that it is your device, that you paid several hundred dollars for, that you probably center your social and/or work life around. This phone is luckily hard to truly brick, but it's also not fun losing the use of it for a long time while you are trying to figure out how to at least get the thing to boot anything at all if you screw it up.

EDIT: Just to soften that big block of text, I have had zero issues installing new releases, never had to even clean flash because of a bug. I've been dirty flashing since last year's release with no ill effects. Been smooth sailing for me. Can't say the same for everyone though.
