I'll stick with 'stock' RR kernel for a bit. I confirmed that it definitely is HellsGate causing the issues. I went ahead and confirmed that the issue was not there, after not flashing HellsGate, by browsing AndroidPolice for 20ish mins and had no crashes. I rebooted to TWRP and flashed HellsGate, booted, open chrome, and within 1 min webview crashed. I'll make a post over there later tonight. Thank you again for everything!

do you have A2017U/A2017/A2017G? I have U version and I had to set Preferred network type to WCDMA only. Then I was able to receive calls on AEX after multiple reboots too.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
Sorry, I failed to include that info. I have a A2017U.

I was mainly trying to reach out to [MENTION=5492451]NFound[/MENTION] regarding that option under SIM Cards, Preferred SIM for - Calls. It is grayed out, we are unable to modify it, so I would think it is something he would have to look at.

Again for AEX it says "Always ask" and RR is "CARD 1".

I am wondering if when we are getting calls on AEX, we are failing to get a pop-up, so the phone doesn't ring. And that it needs to be set to CARD 1 to avoid that situation. I could be way off, because obviously some of us are getting calls, even if we have to change the Preferred Network type.

I also want to note that after flashing AEX, during the setup wizard, a pop-up does ask me to select a SIM. Which could be why everything works fine after the initial flash.

Could you tell me which GAPPs you flashed, if you're running Magisk, TWRP version, what version of HellsGate, and what bootstack you flashed? Just to test it, could you install chrome beta or dev to see if you run into any issues with webview?

I can try and get a logcat for you, if you'd like. I don't have much experience with logging on Android, even though I've been messing with this stuff since 2011.

The reason why I believe that it had to do with something between your kernel and RR is because flashing HellsGate was the only difference between webview crashing and not.

WebView crashes: Delete System, Cache, Data, Dvalik Cache -> flash B32 Universal Bootloader & B32 Modem -> flash RR -> flash GAPPs -> flash HellsGate -> flash Magisk

WebView does not crash: Delete System, Cache, Data, Dvalik Cache -> flash B32 Universal Bootloader & B32 Modem -> flash RR -> flash GAPPs -> flash Magisk

So while it may not be your kernel, something seems to be going on between RR and the kernel.

No disrespect meant Kranoner. The proof is however in the pudding. Issue is there with your kernel and disappears without your kernel.

Many people have had this issue after flashing your kernel. What exactly it is linked to, I don't know. I'm sure you'll figure it out.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] KevinX8:
You can help him by sending logs..... Don't just expect your issue to be replicable
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Cablespider:
Also, make sure to post the logs in the kernel thread and discuss it there. Reporting here is ROM specific using the stock kernel. Another dev shouldn't have to come in here to answer questions or troubleshoot. Frankly, it's rude to be discussing it here. But you guys forced that to happen by not properly reporting in the respective thread.

Scour ROM threads throughout XDA and you'll see a general rule of thumb: don't report issues with a ROM if you're using a third party kernel or mods of any sort. Period. That's a common courteousy to the devs. From a testing standpoint, it's crucial. ROM devs have no doubt put work into their own kernels, and that's what testing/reporting should be based on.

Thanks for the update! :) I tried to install AICP on my Chinese A2017 this morning but unfortunately I kept getting into a bootloop. My device is encrypted so I suspect that had something to do with it, but all your other ROMs (AEX, XenonHD, RR) work fine so it seems to be a problem specific to AICP.

I followed the usual procedure of wiping /data (without /media) and also /system, /dalvik and /cache partitions before flashing. The bootloop happens after the screen where you input the encryption password, and then it just sticks on the AICP animation. But in the meantime I will install the new build of AEX which is still my favourite ROM so far! :D
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] MaxRink:
That build just bootloops for me (dirtyflash from older aex)

Logcat is attached

edit: the same happens on a system without gapps and magisk, so its this rom
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] MaxRink:
i neither use substratum nor anything else that modifies /system.

i even wiped / system so that the backupscript contained in aex doesnt mess up anything.

Nevertheless, just went back to the build from 24th of feb which works just fine with the same encrypted /data
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] P650SE:
Yep, I have been trying to flash these new builds all morning with the same results. AEX bootloops. So does RR and AICP. Do you know whether Lineage has the same problem? :confused: I will perhaps have to re-download one of the old builds of AEX or RR to resolve this.

EDIT: I just tried LineageOS and it works fine, nothing to worry about there! ;)

I performed a clean install with pico gapps. All is well. Installed and booted fine. While I had no problems with AEX in general, I will be keeping an eye on the received calls problem specifically. It's good to be back on AEX.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] ashishv:
The receving calls problem is only when on LTE, since VOLTE doesn't work after first boot, so if you are on LTE and VOLTE icon doesnt show in status bar, pretty sure you wont receive calls.

I am coming from RR OS Nougat Rom and want to try to update to this AOSP V5.2 Oreo. Do I need to update Modem for O version? I can't find such a file for this or A2017X_BootStack_B32_O.zip already has it?

My phone is A2017U with twrp-3.0.2-2-a2017u.img installed.

1. fastboot flash recovery TWRP_3.2.1-7_axon7.img

2. Boot to TWRP.

3. WIPE Cache - Dalvik - DATA

4. flash A2017X_BootStack_B32_O.zip

5. flash model O for A2017U ?

6. flash AEX AospExtended-v5.2-axon7-20180224-1103.zip
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
You are correct sir. That is why i believe some users were reporting the incoming calls as spotty. Because it depended on whether they were connected in an LTE area or not.

But guess what.... Today's AEX update has fixed this for me. I can confirm VOLTE icon after several restarts and a few test calls. I also see that under the SIM settings it no longer says Always Ask under Calls, it says CARD 1 now. So I believe I should have the same positive call experience I was having on RR, but can now finally use AEX like I've been wanting to.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Raffikie:

Flashed just fine for me. I wiped Dalvik, System, and Cache so it wasn't a complete dirty flash. However upon booting up it says my SD Card is corrupted.

Can anyone that did a full clean flash tell me if yours is fine? Once I get home I will try a clean flash if it is working fine for others.

Edit: Class got out early so I decided I would do a clean flash now. Even with a full clean flash, SD is still corrupted. Anyone else having any problems? I can backup and format later if needed, but that's a pain sometimes so I'd rather not if there's any other way to get around this.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Masterjuggler:
NFound's bootstack already has the proper modem. The installer is in Russian, but don't mind that and hit the option obviously for A2017U (3rd option) then hit next several times.

I'll try this new update soon and see about also confirming calls with LTE. I sure hope this is the one that does it, I love AEX otherwise!

I don't have a second SIM card to test that unfortunately, so someone else will have to figure that one out.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Teet1:
How are people not getting calls on LTE? I have my phone set to LTE and I get calls just fine. It doesn't show anymore in the status bar, but I don't have to mess with anything to have it working

One thing I've noticed is none of the sensors besides the fingerprint sensor work. I've attached screenshots of Antutu Benchmark's device info. I noticed this happening on my 02/24 install too, but that was a dirty flash so I didn't bother reporting it.

Please let me know if there's any way I can take a log of something like this, the only thing I know of is taking a log of a crashing app.

SD Card is almost done backing up :) give me a few more mins

Edit: So it looks like this did fix it. A pain, but not unbearable. I am restoring files to it now and then will put it back in for one final check. But it being formatted makes it work fine so far. BTW it is a 256 GB Samsung SD Card.

So one other note: it seems settings shows the VOLTE calling now after enabling it in the hidden menu, but when actually making a call the data gets interrupted like normal calling without LTE. So... closer?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Cablespider:
I'm just curious but what does enabling volte in the hidden menu actually do? I get the volte symbol right out of the box without fuzting with the menu. Is it not in that mode without switching it on? My calls show HD. Is that related to volte? I never really looked into or paid attention to volte.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] JTruj1ll0923:
Yeah if your calls show HD that is going over LTE (Voice Over LTE). Sometimes when you call it won't show HD and you will still be over LTE due to having LTE signal still on the status bar.

So I don't know if enabling it in the hidden menu does anything anymore. However, when I was on Lineage, after first putting a custom rom on my phone, I had to do that with Verizon to get it to work. Ever since then I make sure it is enabled or if not I TRY to enable it in case it will trigger something again. I guess it just forces the phone to accept it if the functionality is available. Now all of this I could be wrong, but this is just what I have gathered. Anyone feel free to correct me :)

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] JTruj1ll0923:
It's caused by the March security update.

Try (at least one of these):

1. Apply it a bunch (5-10x).

2. Reboot and apply the compiled overlays that didn't enable.

3. Or reboot before you uninstall all overlays and build/apply everything again.

The last one is what worked for me.

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Link500X:
It has happened to me alot, even outside updates. It is because the partition doesn't get flagged as being unmounted properly (usually during a reboot, or if you take out your sd card for any reason). You can fix it by putting the SD card into a PC and using filesystem tools (for windows, right click the drive and click the error checking button under tools. Linux has similar utilities, but its been too long since I last used it). I got tired of this error and reformatted it to ext4 (can cause some compatibility problems), which doesn't have the problems that fat fs has. IDK why android, or at least custom roms don't use the -o force command when mounting fat partitions. It would fix this major annoyance.
