Installed Havoc on my 2017G, no issues except that any time I reboot, it gets stuck on the ZTE bootlogo, and I have to push & hold the power button again to get it to boot. :(
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Cablespider:
The B12 or Universal bootloader is required.

I just got done installing Havoc. A very nice ROM. It has all the bells and whistles. Running well so far. Too early to tell much else.

Installed Havoc OS about 2 hours ago. After boot, it was a little jittery setting it up (rebooted in the Google setup process). Took some time to get it all set up, but after running for an hour or so, it settled in and began to run smooth. Too soon to give battery stats since I had to plug in the charger because I ran low in the set up process. Will run it for a few days and check out all the bells and whistles and report back.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] troy5890:
Seems like the patch didn't work for me. It works when I receive notifications, but not when I connect it to the charger or computer(which is quite alright for now).

Installed Havoc rom + patch, on f2sf file system. Won't recognize usb when connected to computer but still charges phone. USB settings are also greyed out. I use it to tether through usb. I also didn't install gapps and rom has gapps built in? I had playstore and other stuff like if micro gapps was installed. This is from clean install.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Cablespider:
No problems with Havoc being recognized when connected to my PC. I don't think you did a clean install. Gapps is not included and you're probably having problems because you essentially dirty flashed over whatever ROM you were running before.

from where I can get the right modem?

---------- Post added at 03:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:55 AM ----------

I have installed the bootstack 12 for my A2017G, cannot find link to modem.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Choobilsky:
Havoc is a great surprise. Thanks a lot, [MENTION=5492451]NFound[/MENTION]. Great job!

First boot got stuck a little but after force reboot everything is running smooth. Only issue I noticed is that ROM doesn't ask for the pin of my first SIM card and doesn't activate it during boot up. Only when I tap flight mode, I get asked for the pin and then everything works fine. Deactivating the pin codes on both SIM cards solved the issue as workaround.

ROM is super smooth and responsive. Over night battery level dropped only by 1 - 2 per cent in 7 hours - without any tweaks! Customization is great. Finally back to Omniswitch, as in good old RR times.

Edit: battery looks damn good with Havoc Rom, after I finished set up. It is definitely less energy consuming than AEX. I'm on the Kernel that came with the rom, the only tweak being LXT butterfly module in Magisk. Call quality is excellent, audio too, another cool bootanimation.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] roisuke:
Really liking havoc so far, reminds me of crdroid but with way more customization. Although I have noticed that when attempting to toggle any call blocking functions in the stock dialer, the app goes back to the previous menu with no adjustments sticking. Also the "swipe fingerprint notification" menu is blank for me, does this have to do with my phone model being A2017U?

Edit: Also it seems I am unable to modify anything in privacy guard.

I have read almost this whole thread.

I have Model A2017U Stock B35 unlocked, rooted, Magisk 16.4 and TWRP 3.2.1-7 using Axon7RootToolv4.

I made notes and ended up with two different ways that seem to work with A2017U model.

Should I try this?

Using TWRP 3.2.1-7 flash A2017X_BootStack_O_B12 select appropriate modem model

Reboot into TWRP 3.2.1-8 (installed by the B12 bootloader)

Advanced wipe Dalvik, System, Data, Internal Storage, and Cache

Flash ROM (AEX-8.x-B12, DU-8.x-B12, Havoc-OS-8.x-B12, RR-8.x-B12)

Flash Open GApps (arm64) (8.1) mini

Flash Magisk 16.6

Wipe Cache and Dalvik

Reboot.

Or this

Using TWRP 3.2.1-7 flash A2017X_BootStack_O_B12 select appropriate modem model

Advanced Wipe Dalvik, System, Data, Internal Storage, and Cache

Install ROM (AEX-8.x-B12, DU-8.x-B12, Havoc-OS-8.x-B12, RR-8.x-B12)

Install Open GApps (arm64) (8.1) mini

Install Magisk 16.6

Install TWRP 3.2.1.8 (just in case)

Wipe Cache and Dalvik

Reboot.

Are either of these correct any advise would be appreciated.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] TPMJB:
Using TWRP 3.2.1-7 flash A2017X_BootStack_O_B12 select appropriate modem model

Flash Open GApps (arm64) (8.1) mini

Flash Magisk 16.6

*not needed*

Reboot.

Though the order probably doesn't matter much. I never found a difference with the advanced wipe. I just did my dad's phone and it only took a regular wipe.

Daydream VR & Audio bugs

Hi [MENTION=5492451]NFound[/MENTION]! Great work on this rom. I've only hit two bugs that stand out.

1) Daydream VR doesn't work. The Daydream app runs far too wide and trying to navigate to my installed apps via the launcher causes the Daydream environment to crash.

2) The phone doesn't always properly detect that headphones have been hooked up. Sometimes you plug in headphones and audio doesn't come out of the headphones or speakers. When in this odd mode I have to...

Stop all audio playback

Pull the headphones

start audio playback again and ensure I hear playback via the speakers

plug the headphones back in while audio is playing

This typically fixes the issue. Otherwise this has been more functional than the stock rom. Thanks for your hard work!

If you got to the daydream overlay by pressing the home button I got a black screen and corrupted graphics on the edges where the exit button is. Oddly enough I managed to get into the photos daydream app and it displayed perfectly fine. I used the latest AEX and even tried 14.1 lineage and no luck so atm running stock 7.1 so I can use daydream.
