[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] IvI97:
i'm using the provided twrp

---------- Post added at 03:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:40 PM ----------

yeah as i've mentioned i'm using the provided aex bootstack, which boots just fine with the 5.1 build. moldel is the g version says it on the back cover too, also the one i'm choosing in aroma. Twrp is 3.2.1-5, also the provided one

Edit: i mean i would'nt be surprised if it really is a bootstack fail, since i got problems with 90% of all provided bootstacks for the g model for all the roms on here since i've got it, leaving me softbricked without any option to get to twrp. the rom itself sometimes would eventually boot up or get me a hardbrick, but twrp would always boot into edl. i've found one or two comments on here from other guys that have this problem that nearly no bootstack files work for them, but didn't find any solution.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] skdubg:
i understand it, but it must move without change manual the clock or anything else

you can install the app "PrivSet" from PlayStore, there you can find the option "Enable Burn In Protection" and its set to false

Maybe this permission is not needed for Android 8.1 (keep in mind that this feature is only available from Oreo 8.1).

I did the gif keeping the phone with ambient display on the table and taking pics with the laptop webcam every 2-4 min (without changing the hour...you can see the minutes passing) and the reality is that the ambient image is moving some pixels every minute so there is no oled burning.

Please test it by yourself.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] skdubg:
yes i see your gif. thats strange i didn't notice any move at my phone.

i will look deeper into it. thanks

update:

i see it at minute seventeen to eighteen at this moment. sorry for my inconvenience
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] p82maarj:
No problem!. I had the same worry.

The movement is unnoticeable...but after some minutes is considerable. Are great news!

How is the personalization of my device looked? The truth is that I am very excited and I want more of this ROM, I am too grateful with [MENTION=5492451]NFound[/MENTION] for the development of this excellent ROM that makes the Axon 7 feel like another phone, with [MENTION=2139165]order[/MENTION]Krieger that made its source code available. Keep up guys and again, thank you very much for your contribution.

How do you get an equalizer at the bottom? Looks pretty neat.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] p82maarj:
Beautiful!!. I like pixel buttons...but i prefer the physical ones. Do you know the rom integrates a screen recorder? power and vol+ to start the recording. ;) .You also have the quick toggle.

- I have moded with:

Face unlock.

Ambient display. Face unlock and Ambient display are not very compatible...I have to enable pick-up and haptic feedback and when I pick up the phone and vibrates I push power or home and faceunlock unlocks th phone and no issues (the issue is black screen on unlocked phone).

Google lens. I take a photo of something and in google photos I have a button to see the information of the product, art, monuments... https://www.xda-developers.com/enable-google-lens-in-google-photos-right-now/.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] TheDarkKnightSM:
You have to enter the configuration options - Extensions

Then activate the navigation bar and disable the physical buttons, and activate the navigation bar in the settings of the bar and there is an option that says PULSE, there activate the graphic equalizer animation, style and colors.

Hello, Good morning, and at least here dawned recently hehe.

Yes, thanks for your observation later I realized that it has an integrated recorder, even though in other ROMS the quality was not so good that I do not like it, since the app I use records in QHD and at 60 frames per second.

I like the buttons on the screen because the Axon are not illuminated and at night they lose me hehe, apart from not working as they should, in my case they respond with Lag in addition to the Home seems to detect double touch. but hey, greetings, I did not understand much about the facial release or how it works, can you explain please?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Krystalmyth:
Substratum is like defusing a bomb atm.. Haven't been able to get a single theme working. Just endless systemui crashes leading to a need to flash rescue. It thinks this phone isn't an oms rom and is running in rooted mode. Is that expected behavior? Used to Substratum basically never working since they appeared years ago, so no biggie if its just more of the same. They sure sold it as something it just has never been on any device since Layers lol.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] |Furō|:
So sorry to bug in, but for me Substratum has been working fine and still is. I'm running the pitch black theme and the latest Resurrection Remix version. I don't know how things are for your time, but for me it's a good experience ;)

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Miustone:
I just managed to fix the Microphone Issues again with My latest Patch. Running the Oreo Bootstack from here and the latest AEX Oreo from here. Same for PNW. Tested 2 Calls and all worked Well. No need to Toggle the Speaker to get the Mic working and the Mic does Now also Work while Using the Loudspeaker. I can just repeat that the Issues are coming from Missing Fluence Configs which are Device Specific. I fixed this already on Nougat a time ago but it stopped working for some Months due to wrong Values from Me. If You want to check it out Search on G+ for the #snappatch Hashtag. I Just Uploaded a Preview of My new Project which includes this Fix.

Any way you could fix the DAC? I don't know if others have this issue but I can't play FLAC files at 192000khz sample rate
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Miustone:
Interesting, i will try a Sample and Take a look. Sure it isn't Player related? I can recommend the Sony Music Player for HiRes Audio Like that...
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] WesTD:
You should use substratum theme

Does this also fix the echo during calls?

And volume control?

I had to leave Oreo because of those issues, particular the echo issue.

Thanks!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Miustone:
Confirmed No Echo, noise canceling and noise reduction works just as wanted using both Mics (Qualcomm Fluence Tech). The Volume Level issues are coming from the Mixer paths or somewhere like that. Think the File We need to fix is now in /system/vendor/etc. Not Sure since Oreo has changed alot...

24Bit FLAC 192Khz Playback works also Well Here. The inbuild Player is Trash Like Most of the other AOSP Players. They havent played it. Tried Sony Music and Poweramp Full Version Beta and they both played it on AEX with SNAPPATCH. Possible it does also Work without the Patch and Poweramp but i can really recommend the Patch Audio Optimizations on the build.prop. They Play Well with good Audio Players and Equalizers Like the Poweramp one...
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Teet1:
Well I mean it's an issue with the android Oreo itself. The system. Any player that uses it's own libraries like poweramp or neutron player works, but any other standard player like the one that comes with the rom Retro music and my favorite BlackPlayer Ex cannot play those files. Sound hound can't, but VLC does too

I'm asking because well I don't want to use those other players besides retro or BlackPlayer due to aesthetics. And fixing this issue would probably fix the DAC as well since it only activates if playing files with sample rates that high and since natively it's unable to, players like poweramp or neutron cannot take advantage of the DAC like they did on nougat so there's no point in using those ugly music players anyway. Get what I mean,
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Zobat:
forget it
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Miustone:
Had to read it twice but got ya. Well i think we are searching more for a workaround as for a Fix. Sadly Poweramp isn't updated since over a Year. I'm sure Max could include a Trigger for our DAC. But i will Put some research in that, the Audio Handling is pretty Strange in the Axon due to the DAC and the Dolby Atmos stuff which isn't 100% portable to our Axons on AOSP. Talked also with My Friend Guitardedhero about it, Looks like it will stay in the hands of the ZTE Developers.

A really Stock Like Stock Firmware without Dolby could give some hints but i don't get My Fingers on it since i'm using the A2017G in Germany and have No Access to the US Beta...

What i'm searching specially for:

-build.prop of the Beta

-system/vendor folder of the Beta

-/system/etc folder of the Beta

But the Actual NDAs are restricting that. Maybe can i get the Files when the final Oreo is released!?...

It´s a Substratum Theme :) The theme is pay is called PitchBlack Origins

---------- Post added at 10:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 PM ----------

In my case substratum works well, even though it always ends with the ... ¨¨ Layers have been installed with errors "yet this error works well I have already left in other ROMS but it works great: 3 use the PitchBlack theme Origins, it's pay.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Miustone:
I restarted and reworked My Patch but it isn't finished yet, just Like said, You will find it on G+ for now If You Search for the "SNAPPATCH".

Well have You Clean flashed the Patch? Like Wipe, ROM, Patch, Boot? They Strange Thing is i had the Echo while Calling with My Dad who uses a iPhone 6S some Days ago but with anyone Else No Problems. Could it be a End to End Problem?

Pretty sure the Mics are working correct after extensive Testing on different Ways (Calling, Google Voice, Sound Recording, Video Chat) None of the Tests produced Problems at all...

Btw. Had No Chance to Test VoIP
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Teet1:
The new dolby oreo port is in fact 100% compAtible. I'm using it right now. In fact it even hardware processes which means it is being used to its full potential as if would in stock. This can be fixed it's just a matter of how. Maybe some simple libraries but we just don't know without ZTEs help. The official Chinese oreo is out and the rom is on the Internet so you could try that

Hello, I want to give this ROM a try.. I have read the forum so I know what to do.. One thing.. I have a a2017g, but my phone says it is a2017u. Wich bootstack should I install? Can someone provide a link please?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] joaste:
Yes. This is on a completely clean install (was just on aicp, saw your patch and decided to try it do did a clean install of aex again).

By the way, to be honest, the patch contains too many things. There is no need to include gapps for example. I flash very small packages and don't want all the things your package installs. Most important of course, for me, it's the sound patch.

This is just my opinion of course and appreciate the attempt to fix the sound! Don't get me won't :good:

---------- Post added at 11:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:34 PM ----------

Everything is in this thread. If your hardware is the G, then select that when installing the aex bootstack.

After that, install the rom.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Miustone:
Interesting, Looks like Guitardedhero has made it processing. But that doesn't helps as i meant it. I wanted to Point on the Deep Integration into the System containing the Audio Policy, Mixer Paths, Media Codecs and so on. You can't Port it 100% without porting the whole Axon System. It's cool enough that He has made the Port working without System Settings Trigger or ZTE Music Player Link. But the Audio is just absolutely complex on our Devices. It's the same Problem with the Mic Configs. Hard to make them Work correctly outside of Stock...

Btw. I got Now what the Echo Means. Looks like there are some more Changes needed. But Like Said, could be also Volume Related (Mixer Paths)(Not Mic only related)

Edit: Thanks for the Chinese ROM hint! Any idea Where to get it Now? I don't have any ZTE Contacts/Sources so far...
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Teet1:
It's on a rival forum which I can't mention. It's by the developer Nfound who's also here, perhaps ask him for a link. I have the beta system partition uploaded on Google drive, but I think it's better to try the official release
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] powermarcel:
Thanks. Done that, but after that, the device is rebooting and it still says A2017U in system info of my current build. (RR) is this Allright? Is there a place where I can check that the new bootstack is installed correctly before I install this new rom?

Edit: and do I install also a specific modem? Or is that included in the bootstack.

Edit 2, flashed it and it works awesome!

But ibe thing, I installed the buttons mod allready, and it is now menu home and back. But why nog recents, home and back? Is there any way to configure it this way?

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Krystalmyth:
Okay. Substratum will work with Pitch, but there has to be missing commits because I promise you if you use pretty much any other theme you'll systemui loop. Pitch Black is a super simple theme. It probably isnt even modifying much. I wish j could get a log, but when I'm stuck in the loop I don't know how to record something. I really need to learn how to log better. I've been on android long enough, youd think I'd learn something lol.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] TheDarkKnightSM:
Always learn new dear, hehehe but I must confess that it is the first time I use substratum since I used Resurrection Remix before and with the customizations that you had was more than enough, do me a favor, tell me what is the issue that you have been giving problems to test him too :) regards: D:highfive:

I am having the hardest time getting 5.2 to work, could someone give me a hand?

2017u coming from b19 stock.

I've tried flashing trwp 3.2.1-5, rebooting to it, wipe all, flashing nstack from feb 04, flashing 5.2 02/11 which leaves me at red blink recoverable only via EDL.

I've tried flashing twrp 3.2.1-5, reboot, wipe all, flash nstack, reboot leaves me at EDL.

Any suggestions are really appreciated.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] TheDarkKnightSM:
Do not flash the bootstacks version of NFound, install the bootstacks AND MODEM of DrakenFX B35 and then the ROM otherwise you will keep going in Brick and EDL.

that bootstacks has a bug with the A2017U

Thank you very much, it works excellent, also Google lens is incredible: D
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Cablespider:
Try installing the bootstack and ROM using stock TWRP. I have no problems with NFound's bootstack on my U using 3.2.1-0. I have to wonder if the modified TWRP is the culprit.

I own quite a few themes, and any that are 8.1 compatible, work perfectly. Using Mono/Art now without a hitch. The only one causing me grief is Streamlined. Check the Substratum folder to see if it generated logs.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Cablespider:
Odd. Thanks for the feedback. There has to be a difference between U users for it to be successful for some and not others. I just can't think of what that may be. F2FS?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] 2CanSan:
Very odd indeed. Perhaps with the release of the official Beta testing we can get a better Bootstack.

Any other partitions to check?

It can't be missing commits because there are none. Andromeda interfaces with google code that has been in Oreo since the beginning. It's probably an issue with the Andromeda app, if I were to guess.

Hello, is it right that not all features from the TS are included yet in the new oreo release of this ROM? Or do I mis something..
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] joeanca:
I can confirm that with the February 11th oreo build, the bootstack b35 for 2017u works using twrp 3.1.1 and flashing the rom zip.

started with b19 efs full install, used the toolbox to install twrp, booted to twrp, installed b35 bootstack and the rom zip, gapps, mods, all working beautifully.

edit: as pointed out by [MENTION=4676535]Cablespider[/MENTION] updating to the latest twrp is recommended to ensure proper Oreo compatibility (backup and others)

TXS to all who helped, it only took about 6 soft bricks to get to this conclusion.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Cablespider:
Just a heads up..

Install the latest TWRP. 3.1.1 is a bit janky when it comes to Oreo. Restoring backups is problematic, among other things.

Anyong / Hello!

Great job on this, flashed a whole bunch of ROMs lately, navigated to this one because somewhere, someone said that AEX was the only ROM with working ak4490 working out of the box, used the last 7.1 version for a while, sounded great but tbh, I have great sounding headphones so without being able to flick between HiFi/lo-fi on the fly i really have no idea if it's running or not.

ATM, I've flashed the Oreo release, wiped everything else, is there anything else I have to do?

Ditto for Dolby Atmos?

I'd normally stick with vanilla LOS but this runs really well so I'll stay with it if the DAC is working.

Thanks ppl!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] joaste:
The DAC does not seem to be used to its full potential, at least that what dumpsys media.audio_flinger shows. Mic processing is not properly working either.

To be honest though, I can't say that the difference is huge audio wise. The only real issue for me is echo during calls and lack of on-call volume. I had to leave the ROM for now because of that.

Can't wait to get back on it though because it was really the best around otherwise. When on Nougat (other than stock), my vote still goes for AICP nightly builds. Stable with all the features I needed.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] jonathonsunshine:

XPosed works fine for me. I did have to do 2 reboots though. One right after installing and then the 2nd after activating some modules. However to use XPosed you will not be able to pass safetynet. The zip works when flashed in TWRP if you don't have XPosed running/activated in magisk.

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] JTruj1ll0923:
Oreo. I can send a screenshot of XPosed after I get out of school in 2 hours or so. I just need to enable it and reboot.

Edit: Wait, on your screenshot it says you have a Samsung phone. Is that right? Because this is for the ZTE Axon 7 and so the problems may be completely different.

Xposed works great, it just takes 15 minutes to install during the bootup. Also there is a recommend ask version to use for Oreo and Magisk. Xposed 3.15 I believe
