I do not see that option in 5.3 but in 5.2 that is where I got it.

The only thing I can find that does not work in AEX is accessing a USB drive with a different file browser such as ES file Explorer. Other than that perfect.

I spoke too soon. Had an issue with lock yesterday. It will show my gps location, but google maps took a solid 5 minutes to respond.

I thought for sure it had to do with Google Maps, though, because I don't think I had the problem in previous versions (Pretty sure I ran into it on the last android.)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Young Gunna:
Not sure what solved it but powered on my phone this morning and Google play downloaded a huge update. Didn't change anything but smart unlock is working again.

As others stated, AEX updates is not pointed to the latest version of Dolby Atoms.

As of today the latest version is here:

DolbyAtmos_Axon7_Oreo_Unity_2.25.18.zip

Tested and working on AEX 5.3

Just to note, the problem I had previously with Dolby causing a bootloop was that I was not using the Unity version.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] troy5890:
Oh yeah the latest Unity build. Been using it for awhile now since early 5.2 and its been pretty good so far.

Not seeing Dolby in my quick settings, so wondering if it is really working. The sound does sound more enriched though. Wondering what's the difference with the Cad Project, of they do the same thing

I think you questioned the wrong post... But anyways.

Dolby Unity is being developed by Zackptg5. So was as simple as browsing his uploads to androidfilehost.com. I am not sure why his latest update hasn't been updated to the official thread, but it works for me.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] zolo111:
What is the bug then? I'm going to flash this rom on my U model and dual sim is a must for me.

Thanks!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] GhouLinux:
I have just switched from RR over to AEX because of this annoying GPS problem (and extremely differing battery usage) only to find out that the same thing occurs with AEX. And now there's a new build addressing it and I am traveling around with bad data connection for the next few hours and can't test it ... Life sometimes is so nasty....

Thanks to NFound in advance for taking care! :)

Edit: GPS now really works great. Fixed in ~2sec with 4m accuracy. If I remember correctly this even beats stock experience...

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] amphi66:
You have tried several ROMs. Is AEX pleasing you more than stock? And calls work OK? (Although music and camera are very nice, this IS a phone after all)!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] XandeR180:
Hmm. Looks like I'm still having an issue where it doesn't unlock 100% of the time. Only it's not as frequent as before. I've actually had this issue a while back while on AOSPExtended. Never seem to have this issue with other ROMs
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] pOLLYpOCKET:
Yes I have. I've tried the SL!M stock based roms, Project New World, and Dark Rom. I always found myself going back to stock after a few days.

I like the stock camera, but the one on this rom seems to be pretty nice. The fact that I was able to install Dolby directly from this rom's options was amazing.

I haven't been on this rom too long, but so far I'm happy with it. I have an A2017U.

Hope that helps.

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] JTruj1ll0923:
Well I would recommend then either adding more details by "adding fingerprints" or just redo them all together. And if that doesn't work a full clean flash is probably best then. I haven't had any problems other than when out of the shower or my hands are dirty or something.

Okay guys, I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if this simply will not work with my phone for some reason. So today I activated a prepaid t-mobile sim to try out for a month in trying to convince my family to switch. In doing so I have seen many people get VOLTE automatically, but I don't. I even did a clean install and put it as my first sim and still nothing. Is there anything else I need to do or is there any settings I need to apply online? I can't figure this out and it is sadly the only thing I am missing from this rom. Any guidance/suggestions? Also if a log would help, what kind of log would be best? Thanks everyone!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Teet1:
When I clean flashed 5.3, I went to the mobile data settings and turned on the switch for mobile data. It then asked me if I wanted to use "CARD 1" instead of "SELECT" for my main SIM. After that, I got mobile data with VoLTE. Maybe try doing that
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] JTruj1ll0923:
Okay, I don't know if I did something to my phone... I went back to LOS and even there I can not get VOLTE :crying:

Edit: So it seems I can get VoLTE with LOS, it just doesn't tell me I have it. But if I make a call and use data it is fine. I am restoring AEX right now.

Edit2: So after restoring I make a call with WiFi off and it seems to work. Then after the call ends, the VoLTE icon comes up... So me freaking out, I'm sorry. But why it works now on T-Mobile at least... Not sure. But anyway, thanks! Sorry for the panic haha

A 100% muted call (in both sides) when receiving a call in one of the two cards.

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] AnonVendetta:
While noticing that the latest AOSPEX builds (everything after 02-24 to 3-13) still have the corruption issue for exFAT SDs, I also read the changelog and saw something about adoptable storage being fixed. I would much prefer working exFAT, but adoptable storage will work as a close 2nd for now.

But first, a few questions:

1. With AS active, TWRP can still read the contents of internal and SD?

2. If I do a clean ROM flash (what NFound and team suggest for each new build), will I have to reformat SD again to be able to access it? What about for dirty flashes?

3. Will I lose access to the 64GB internal, or will I be able to make full use of the 64GB as well as my 200GB SD?

I'm just trying to find a way to stay with the latest builds so I can test new features and benefit from bugfixes, but bottom line is that being able to use my SD is important too.

Thanks!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Dodgexander:
We really need this fix bad [MENTION=5492451]NFound[/MENTION]

I went to make a call today since updating to the latest release and it was muted, it's the only thing stopping this from being my daily driver long term :(
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] JTruj1ll0923:
Can you send him any Logs? Because he does not use a dual sim, how can we actually expect a fix if it's impossible for him to reproduce it? Please send logs if you can. At least to NFound individually if not here for everyone to look into.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Dodgexander:
I can send any logs if I knew what to do to make useful stuff appear in the log. I know how to take a log but what can I do? Just try and make a call?

Problem may be able to be replicated by using sim in the second slot even if there's no main sim.

Also a few steps back someone noted they thought they fixed it by selecting WCDMA only with the second sim which may help but useless if you aren't in a country with CDMA networks.

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Young Gunna:
Hmmmm any suggestions? Already clean installed... Did you also install Google camera too with gapps or just the built in one with the ROM?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Dodgexander:
Didn't mean to sound rude or anything. Just want to know how I can help get it solved. I started logcat, made a call and then stopped. Here's my output attached. It's pretty easy to test because you get no sound at all, even when your phone is making the call there's no ringing tones or anything.

Another thing that's interesting is sometimes this has not happened previously and sometimes it's happened with the main sim too so I'm not sure what it could be.

Before I installed the latest build it was working for me, but before then it also had been broken.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] JTruj1ll0923:
Hmmm... Clear data on the app? And I install GApps nano each time so it doesn't come with anything really.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Dodgexander:
Mine turns back off even if I don't close the app in between.

This is with the AOSP snap camera, not the snap camera from the playstore right?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Young Gunna:
Correct!!! This is the exact issue I'm having!!!

Might be installing Google camera that does it, or a magical module. I have the Google camera 2 api magical module installed to get Google camera working but there's a good chance it affects other apps too. On nougat having that enabled caused the stock camera to stop working so.

Have you tried Open Camera? If so, what did you not like about it. Works great for me and i never have to worry about stock camera issues on custom roms.

On another note, has anyone been able to use Viber or are willing to test it for me? My girlfriend is getting upset with me since I've started using RR and AEX Oreo versions. Viber is all her family uses and she refuses to use any other messaging app to communicate with me. The problem is I can only use it on WiFi. This is practically the only problem I'm having, and it's a big one, because about 50% or more of my phone usage is being on Viber with her.

Edit: However, I believe I answer the call around line 1150 if that helps. (Hope so ?)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
Yeah, ever since the last RR and for the last three AEX builds. Clean flash, no addons except for Magisk, though it didn't work without it flashed anyways.

Just want to confirm if anyone else is using it just fine.

Might need to see if TMobile might be blocking. Maybe I activated Viber too many times in one day and triggered something.

I've been all over the web looking for answers, just hoping it's not the ROM.

exFAT corrupted and phone sound bug

Hi there. I tried to inform about my experience with this rom several times, with .....zero answers. (posts #1231, #1403,

#1538, #1545 and #1231. Regarding SD card, there is one rom that is ok with this , RR-O-v6.0.0-20180220. ONLY one that accepts my 128G exFAT card WITHOUT any problem, from first boot. All the rest - AOSP - RR - DO NOT.

Phone bug still present also, ...loudspeaker toggle solves problem somehow in dialing - in receiving calls seems to be ok.

Becouse of the prolems and posible solutions in OREO, I opened a new post in "ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers - Best Oreo ROM by adroeurope " for the ones willing to share solutions and experiences, I invite you all. Thank you.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] JTruj1ll0923:
No one has answered possibly because it has been answered to others before. In the latest couple builds of at least AEX it doesn't want to accept anything other than vfat formatted in the rom itself. If you want to use the latest build with your SD you need to format it. Or use the 02/24 build. If that build doesn't work for you then it is something with your card and you might want to reformat as exFat again. I have a 256gb card that works just fine as exFat on that build.

As far as the call bug that has been in almost every rom for our phone so far. Don't know what to tell you there. If you are talking about the dual SIM functionality some of us have reported logs so I'm sure NFound and others will now be looking for a solution. The fact that we even have Oreo maintained on our devices based on a non Oreo bootstack is awesome and a not a small feat.

So, the bugs are being worked on and NFound is doing an excellent job. Sorry no one answered your posts individually, but they were answered. Hope you find everything you need! Good luck!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] AnonVendetta:
[MENTION=5851430]JTruj1ll0923[/MENTION]: I was just thinking that adoptable storage might be better as a temporary solution until the exFAT issue is addressed. I definitely won't be formatting it to FAT32, via either the PC or the phone. My card does work in 02-24 as exFAT, but not in any builds after that. I'm pretty sure it's fine, my PC OSes access it without issues and report no corruption.

I haven't had good luck with adoptable storage in the past on other phones, but each phone seems to handle it slightly differently. Usually TWRP couldn't access the SD contents. Or, in the ROM, I would suddenly no longer have access to the internal storage built into the phone (in this case, the USA Axon 7's 64GB). It's not acceptable to gain 200GB while essentially losing access to 64GB. I assume the OS takes over the internal for its' own use, without making it available to the user directly (which can of course be bypassed with root access). It's probably due to the way Google designed AS. I don't know much about it, but it seems fundamentally flawed and not well thought out by Google's engineers. Like:

1. Loss of access to internal storage

2. Lack of portability due to the encryption, essentially making it useful in only one ROM, and necessitating a reformat of the SD if a new ROM/firmware is installed

AS seems mostly useful for phones with little available internal storage, of which the USA Axon 7 isn't one, and the Chinese version having 128GB. Not exactly low end.

I can also look into using F2FS or ext4, but these aren't optimal (while still consistently outperforming exFAT), mainly because of the way Android mounts/accesses them. For one, they have permissions, whereas FAT-based filesystems don't. So those have to be maintained manually by the user. I'm all for permissions on my PC OSes, I love Linux. But Android is a different beast. And with native Linux FSes, Android does a real, direct mount of the partition, instead of FUSE, which is the case with FAT-based FSes (or in newer versions of Android, sdcardfs, which has its' own quirks).

Moving on to VOLTE, I don't see what the big deal is. I haven't looked into it much, it's not even on my radar since I don't think it will be of any real benefit to me. I understand it's a relatively new technology that has benefits. But I've read alot about it being more of a drain on battery than anything else, when it does work. When I first installed the Oreo beta of AOSPEX, I had a VOLTE icon in the statusbar. But it isn't there anymore.

I have T-Mobile as my carrier, but I'm a prepaid customer. I live in Oregon, which is a test market for T-Mo when it comes to rolling out new technologies. Which means we get to test the latest stuff, whether we like it or not, but oftentimes with hiccups. Several times in the past few months I haven't been able to pay my bill online because of network downtime. So I had to go to one of their brick and mortar store.

I apologize in advance for goin off on a wild tangent, I also have an issue with being brief and to the point sometimes. Thanks!

Jesus dude, nobody is going to read that novel you posted. Keep it simple.

I have my 128gb SD card formatted NTFS and never had a problem. Never had a problem when I had it formatted ExFAT either, but I haven't used that file system in about a year.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] JTruj1ll0923:
I didn't know you could use NTFS. Does it work correctly? Can you read and write to it both in Android and in TWRP? I tried searching but all answers I could find were a few years old.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] TPMJB:
Never had a problem, though let me check when I get home. I was 99% sure I used NTFS.

I also don't encrypt my SD card, but I have internal memory encrypted

Edit: When I open it in Windows 7 it says "generic hierarchical" so apparently I formatted it with the phone with EXT4. Though I don't see why you wouldn't do that anyway since it can be read by your computer.
