To everyone with call issues. I too have found issues with my calls when switching from ROM to ROM. Sometimes I will go back to a ROM I previously had issues on, and the issues are gone.

In my experience the "call bug" seems to occur at random, not only from call to call, but from flash to flash. This makes it very difficult to diagnose, and I'm sure does not make it easy on the devs either.

However, I have recently made it a habit that when I find a ROM/setup that I plan on using for a while (and have the call bug), I will go back and do a full wipe (including internal storage). If I still have call issues after flashing everything, I will wipe it again. Only after the second try will I give up and just have to deal with the call issues.

This is only my experience, there is no scientific reason behind it. I am currently on crDroid using the B32+B10 bootstack. When I first tried the ROM I did a clean flash, but had some glitching when listening to Spotify, as well as two incidents of the call bug. I went and tried out another ROM briefly, then came back to crDroid, this time with a full wipe (including internal storage), the glitch is gone and my calls are somehow stronger than before with no issues.

To summarize, everyone with call issues, please make sure you are using the latest bootstack B32+B10, that you are doing a full wipe (including internal storage), and that you are not implementing third party kernels or magisk modules before testing and reporting.

Also, to clarify, the "call bug" is when you receive a call and answer, but there is no sound. You can not hear the caller, but they can hear you. You have to toggle the speakerphone and then you can hear them.

I have also experienced the issue with the speakerphone muting instead of being speakerphone. Again, try a full wipe and the latest bootstack. If you still have the issue, try a different ROM.

I have also experienced the call coming from the bottom speaker, on the most recent ROMs as well as back on Nougat. Just like the call bug, toggling the speakerphone during the call fixes this. Again, try a full wipe and the latest bootstack.

I only took the time to post this, because I have been through all of these issues, and feel they are going to continue to pop up at random (except on the leaked beta from what I hear). Unfortunately troubleshooting the specific issues is too difficult, so the answer is to hit the ultimate reset button. If that doesn't work, hit it again. Just don't forget to backup anything important onto your external storage.

Sorry that I am one of those users that are reporting that I no longer have any of these issues. But, now you know what I had to do to get here.

DUAL SIM WORKING in last 2 RR

Hi everyone, I'm sharing my latest adventures in Nfound's Oreo. First, thank you NFound for this experience.

OK, so I have the european G variant. As dialer I use an "dark" version of google phone.

RR-O-v6.0.0-20180421-axon7-Weekly.zip and RR-O-v6.0.0-20180519-axon7-Weekly.zip - works for me in dual sim mode. That is - I can enable/disable any sim and use second one - when necesary - as internet data. This are the first working roms in terms of dual sim functionality for me. Latest - 20180519 - I found to be buggy - I had problems with restarting even during an incoming call - that was not a pleasant experience. I could see the number, but screen freezes and in seconds phone restarted - of course last number who called me was not there...so I lost an important conversation.

One interesting thing - coming from Aosp, dirty flashed RR-O-v6.0.0-20180421, after boot appears this message - "a vendor image mismatch has been detected....please ensure that your vendor image matches OPM1.171019.011".

In system settings I see buid nr. OPM2.171019.029. Maybe that's why.....it works....

Ok - in RR - if you do not use encryption, do not touch RR-O-v6.0.0-20180514-axon7-ENCRYPT-VERSION.zip becouse your internal memory will be gone and data partition cannot be mounted. Solution is to format internal memory, you will loose everything from internal.

Phone sound bug still present, but toggle solves.

On latest Aex - probably becouse my black dialer - on boot phone app stops and the notification message cannot be override. So, by now, I stick to working dual sim rom RR-O-v6.0.0-20180421. Thank you all.

Hi guys, i'm hoping someone can help me. I'm not able to install cdDroid Oreo on my Axon 7, i keep getting "This package is for device: ailsa_ii,axon7;: this device is .". I tried flashing bootstack B32 and the rom, flashing B15 and then rom, flashing universal bootloader + modem and them rom. When i boot in fastboot mode i can clearly see that my device name says 'ailsa_ii'. I was trying to install the stock rom and then try to flash cdDroid again, but from TWRP i'm not able to and the Axon7ToolKit is not working either. What am i missing here?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] TPMJB:
When I was unencrypted, the "Encrypt" version of RR worked just fine.. I encrypted within that version and found the way Oreo encrypts is different and TWRP no longer could decrypt my internal storage.

TWRP needs an update :(
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
Are you using the Oreo bootstack found at the bottom of the OP? If so it should work.

I recommend using the B32+B10 bootstack though: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=746010030569968333

What TWRP version are you using?

What ROM are you coming from?

Did you wipe everything but external storage and USB?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] marcdw:
[MENTION=9193576]sanemi[/MENTION], you could unpack the ROM, edit the updater-script & remove the assert/getprop lines at the beginning, and repack.

Flash and see if that works.

Before doing that though, could also be a TWRP thing. Which TWRP are you using? Use NFound's TWRP Exclusive or 3.2.1-6 (I think).

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
Previously Answered: There is not an option to reassign the hw back button, sorry. There are several patches in this thread that may work, but I'm not going to test. I've just gotten used to the buttons being this way now, so I don't have to bother with it.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] TPMJB:
Good way to brick your phone. 3.2.1-6 is only for B05 oreo (I think.) It doesn't work on this bootstack

3.2.1-0 or -7
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] sanemi:
I was able to install it going back to stock rom following one of the guides from here using TWRP and then installing the custom rom. Thank you guys!

I have been using the rom since yesterday and i really like it, but i have found 2 issues:

-I set up an alarm for 6 AM last night, the phone had 90% battery and i turned it off. Today i woke up at 7 AM and the phone was not even on. When i turned it on, it had 60% battery and it said i had missed an alarm, i was really surprised lol

-Today i left with 99% and after 1 hour and 31 minutes screen usage (around midday today) i had 48% left, i think that's bad and wrong right? I'm starting to think my battery is slowly dying (i used to have poor battery life with stock as well).

What do you think?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
crDroid should be giving way better battery life than that. Of course, everyone's mobile environment is different. You're going to need to pinpoint if it's an app, power settings or as you said a weakening battery.

I use GSam battery to troubleshoot battery issues. But, there are plenty of resources out there.

I think you may be facing the same issue as me... I used AccuBattery to estimate my battery's health, and my capacity has diminished to less than 67%. At full capacity, my phone has around 1950 mAh, which explains why I get 2.5-3 hours of SOT even with conservative settings on all ROMs. I already bought a new battery, I'm waiting for it to arrive. I hope this'll help, otherwise I'll have to resort to leaving my house with a charger all the time lol.

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] inrockweareone:
Hi all, any help appreciated!

I got a G version and flashed from Nougat to Oreo AEX. All went well and I can boot to the phone but I can't boot to Recovery or Bootloader now.

I got a ZTE logo with a solid red light up top and nothing else - it just stuck there.

I can switch phone off and start up normal boot but I need to have Recovery to root and do other things.

Please advise... I have searched the forum for similar case but couldn't find any good info....
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] sanemi:
I believe i am, i installed GSam and based on the usage, it seems i can't get more than 3 hours of SOT (max). Too bad, it's not easy to get a battery replacement for this phone where i live, but anyway let me know how it works with the fresh one!

From what I've seen posted, encryption works but you'll lose all sound.

Probably will with lots of data, takes ages to encrypt, almost faster not to bother and install again.

Hi I have done the physical buttons to restart but it flashed the red light 3 times and got a complete black screen like it was off.

When I tried the option in the rom to restart to recovery/bootloader it just came up with ZTE logo and stuck there.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] DarkQuark:
I recently got my Axon in a similar state due to trying different ROMs and messing up and mixing the wrong twrp with the wrong bootstack. I had to use EDL to reflash recovery with the right version of twrp.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Aigor:
I'm not informed enough to know what bugs you're referring to, but since I have no problem with audio (for now!) ... I would say no, I did not find this bug.

I also add that the version of TWRP 3.2.1-7 is able to access the encrypted partition without problems.

At this point I think to stay with RR, I would not like the transition to Crdroid bring more problems than benefits.

I installed a new battery two weeks ago. Best 12USD I've ever spent. The increase in SOT was ver nice
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Ninjeneer:
Finally got around to trying this ROM and I must say I am certainly impressed! Seems smooth and fast. Took a little tweaking with gapps to get everything functioning smoothly, but definitely worth it.

This is also my first experience with the substratum engine and its definitely nice as well.

I do have one issue that might be ROM related though. Sounds silly, but Pokemon Go says its unable to authenticate, and that my device isn't compatible (out of date, using an unauthorized apk, or rooted are the reasons listed). While my bootloader is unlocked, but device remains unrooted. I've turned off developer options as well, just in case. Any ideas? Again I know this might not be ROM related but its worth asking here. Thanks guys!

A lot of ROMs in this thread. Which one are you talking about?

Regarding Pokemon Go, you need to hide the app in Magisk.

---------- Post added at 03:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:17 PM ----------

So you are encrypted on crDroid with no issues?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] TPMJB:
So a lowdown of what happened:

"This version of RR supports encryption!" which is what I was told of a version of RR that did not support encryption, sometime in April.

After my phone stopped booting, I removed encryption.

Then there was a build of RR that truly did support encryption. I installed it and then encrypted within Oreo. Oreo uses something new with encryption that TWRP can't handle without an update. I think to get around this I would have to go back to Nougat, encrypt, and then go to Oreo. Honestly, I don't use my phone that much so I just won't put sensitive data on it until it is truly fixed.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Bucatino:
[MENTION=5492451]NFound[/MENTION] what is the changelog of last AEX? Do you port last things of OREO rom, like HDR+?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] QuantumFluxx:
I installed the recently released B01 Beta ROM. This encrypted my internal storage by default. I can't remember for sure, but I think I went F2FS for B01 and then changed back to EXT4. I did not click the 'Format Data' button, but I did wipe it. I installed B32+B10 Bootstack, crDroid, GApps, Magisk, AKT Profiles.

When I rebooted, I had a weird reboot after I set the phone up and was programming my fingerprints using the Setup Wizard. After that, it was smooth sailing until I found that I didn't have bootable TWRP installed anymore. Rebooting the phone to recovery just resulted in a black screen with the flashing red LED for a few seconds. I used MiFlash to restore TWRP. I flashed A2017U_B19-NOUGAT_TWRP_EDL.zip from here. MiFlash requires the archive to be extracted and the extraction location is what is specified before flashing. I replaced the TWRP file from the archive with 3.2.1.7. You do not need to do this, as you can update your TWRP from inside the older version that MiFlash will install. If you elect to replace the older TWRP IMG file from the archive with the newer one, you will need to either rename the new TWRP file so that its filename matches the older file which you are replacing or edit 'rawprogram4.xml' from the archive so that the line that references TWRP specifies the correct file name (Case sensitive, see attached screenshot). I also replaced the older bootstack files from the archive with the ones from the aforementioned B32+B10 bootstack. YMMV. If you don't replace any files, make certain you reinstall the correct bootstack as the MiFlash package overwrites your currently installed one.

The phone booted right up to the encryption prompt. Magisk works -- passes SafetyNet. Android Pay working with cards added. Bluetooth (car, headphones, and wear), Calls, Camera, Data, GPS, Loudspeaker and Sound all work fine. Had a second reboot this morning. After my alarm clock went off and was subsequently snoozed about 4 or 5 times, I unlocked the phone and opened the Accuweather app and saw the phone lock up and then reboot. Curiously, the screen went black before the LED came on red and then the phone vibe-pulsed and I was staring at the ZTE logo...and then the bootloader. So it didn't appear to be a soft reboot...

I left the house for a run, and I got a notification that my Google account had been signed out. I tried adding it twice, but it wasn't working. I believe the problem had to do with my 2 factor authentication. I rebooted the phone manually and was then able to re-add my account. I haven't had any problems since.

Sorry for all the info. It's only been a couple of days and I wanted to share everything.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Gases:
Will do, I'll post here once I install it and get a few days of usage out of it. I'm really hoping this, along with a nice screen protector I got, will help extend this bad boy's life for at least 1-2 years. I'm really not ready to say goodbye to this device, I like it way too much. The combination of speed, amazing audio both from the speakers and the DAC, and the huge availability of ROMs make it really hard to replace. Not to mention I got it for around $250 last year, so it was also an amazing deal!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Ninjeneer:
AEX v5.5, latest build (4/18/18 I believe). My apologies, it was late and I was tired.

I have since installed and setup magisk and it works sometimes now, but still randomly closes. I wasn't rooted prior to installing magisk so I didn't think it would be any issues on my end. Turns out the ROM wouldn't pass SafetyNet even unrooted and magisk fixed that for the most part. PoGo still randomly boots me out mid game though, so more testing is required. Thanks though!

Edit: Oops! Forgot to actually hide PoGo and since I've done that it seems 100% stable. Time will tell but looks like we're good to go!

Can someone please help me? I've re-downloaded and reflashed this rom several times and even downloaded updated builds (as I'm in the "5-11" build) but it doesn't solve it.
