ZTE in any case will release Oreo with fixing this bug, we will only have to update the kernel and move the new blobs to fix on Pie ;)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] bornlivedie:

I hate depending on the big companies. They always fail us (looking at you samsung/motorola)

Thanks for the answer.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] NFound:
Alas, they have a whole group of developers, and I'm only one doing the Project Treble. We will believe and wait ... :(
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] beastobadness:
A quick question to anyone who knows...as I understand it, there are two versions of treble at the moment, arm64 A and arm64 A/B.

As far as I understand A has a single vendor partition and A/B has two partitions used for seamless background system updates. For example, I take it NFounds AEX 5.7 treble ROMs are arm64 A treble.

So are all GSI distributions compatible with both treble versions or are there specific GSI builds for each treble version?

I only ask because I thought the whole point of project treble was to simplify and unify ROM builds yet there are two forms of treble.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] bornlivedie:
As far as I know, you will have to install the corresponding version, in our case, A only.

Are you using the latest DU? I'm facing the same issue with Gapps installed
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] ccfly888:
I have followed the guide. But I think I made some mistakes to crash my 2017U.

First, after reboot into twrp, internal storage only have 740 MB. I tried to flash AXON7_GPT_ORIGINAL.zip in EDL mode, but now the internal storage completely disappeared.

Windows 10 can only access external Micro-SD. Don't even shows internal storage. I tried following [EDL][A2017/A2017U] Emergency DL Mode TWRP + Unlock + Upgrade

and flashed A2017U_B19-NOUGAT_FULL_EDL.zip but still not working.

Can not mount any partitions (System, Cache, Data, etc) in TWRP. I have TWRP full backup still in external micro-sd, but can't restore it.

How can I restore the internal partition table?

Please help. Thanks!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Oki:
Follow this guide. Is very simple and has clear steps on how to get your partitions ready for treble ROMs. Choose B12 option and from there on you will only need to flash any treble rom as any other TWRP package.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] ccfly888:
I have followed the B12 option step by step. Everything is OK until step 11:

Wait a few seconds until the boot animation begins and press again VolUp+Power until the phone vibrates to enter again into recovery for a 3rd time. To ensure everything is clean you should format the DATA partition, including internal storage. Go to settings and ensure "Use rm -rf instead of formatting" option is not selected. Then go to Wipe > Advanced Wipe, select Data partition and tap on Repair_or_Change_File_System button and then on Change_File_System button. Select F2FS and confirm action. Do the same to apply F2FS to the Cache Partition. Now, from the main menu > Wipe, select and clean dalvik.

TWRP 3.2.2.0, can not mount Data, Cache "Failed to mount '/data' (Invadlid argument)", "Unable to mount storage"

Windows 10 still can not detect internal storage, only shows external micro-sd
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] janthe6th:
You need to format the Data partition to another file type then change it back to ext4 (wipe - advanced wipe - choose data then tap repair or change file system - then format it to f2fs (in my case I changed to ext2) - then follow same steps to format it back to ext4.

Data partition should be back now
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Oki:
Ensure "Use rm -rf instead of formatting" option is not selected in TWRP settings.

Then go to Wipe > Advanced Wipe, select Data partition and tap on Repair_or_Change_File_System button and then on Change_File_System button. Format DATA as EXT4 first and, without leaving TWRP do it again as F2FS.

The previous steps worked when, in some cases, the standard procedure didn't work. If you had your devices encrypted it should work too, but if it fails with 3.2.2 then flash 3.2.1-8 Treble and repeat the mentioned steps.

Please let me/us know if it worked. Thanks
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] ccfly888:

Please any experienced user tell Which Rom is Better Havoc Treble Or AEX Treble ? and Why ?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] dwnoel:
With what I ve read, first, not difference, in terms of functionality, between Treble and non - treble. Just matter of battery life but even nothing very clear.

That said, if you want to know which one is better Havoc or AEX, you can find it easily by searching both words (many feedback when havoc arrived). Looks like there is difference for battery life, but both give great and similar customization level.

Last, at this time, AEX-treble got one more update than havoc-treble.

So which one is good for battery?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Soyunamortz:
Aex would be always the top choice sinces it's Nfounf favorite ROM , I feel like he puts the most interest or spends more time working on always getting it to a high standard
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] alwynjoshy:

That is a LineageOS feature, they just cherry-picked it.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] TPMJB:
Not sure if this is rom or kernel, but I've experienced it with both kernels.

Running AEX 7/11 (non treble) and either Hellsgate x13 or Schwifty, I get random reboots while the phone is near maximum charge and plugged in. Anyone else?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] atakan33:
try stock kernel .stock kernel enough for me
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] TPMJB:
My Dad is running stock kernel and his hasn't had the problem, but the battery life kills me on stock. On the 6/29 build I had no reboots, but I was also using Hellsgate X9.

So many variables to test...ugh
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] dwnoel:
I confirm. Running same AEX 711 with stock kernel without reboot.

I manage the battery consumption with jojoc module to pass from 24. 5%/h SOT to 20.2%SOT (both average on about 150h usage). Standby is similar but less good :respectively 0.4% versus 0.6%

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] yarecco:
Will this ROM still developped or is abandonned?

For me on every phone I had I was using RR roms and never had any problems. On Axon 7 is similar.

Another qiestion: what exactly are the battery life differences betheen AEX treble and non-treble ROMs? Is is remarkable?

Does anyone have these problems related to Bluetooth ? :

1. While phone is connected to car bluetooth, car is getting information about battery level and cellular signal.

On Official Nougat, had no problems and worked perfectly.

On current rom and also Lineage OS 15.1 seems that phone is randomly sending cellular signal data, which translates to showing, on car Navigation, "searching for signal" although the phone has cellular signal. Problem is that sometimes car ends the phone call as it thinks phone has no signal.

2. Wear application connects properly to my Huawei watch, but as soon as I try to transfer my google account to the watch so that I can install applications on watch, wear application reports failure. Retries also fail.

Thanks for your inputs.

hey guys :)

So I am on AEX v5.5 20180510 and wanted to update to the latest (treble version) using this guide.

I installed TWRP_3.2.1-8_axon7-TREBLE.img inside TWRP (I was on 3.2.1-7) "install image" option, but now I cant boot into the recovery anymore. Fastboot doesn't work either so I'm stuck. My system still boots.

EDIT: When I try to boot to recovery via the button combination, it just gives me a LED signal "long long short"

EDIT2: As I had Magisk installed, I managed to install twrp 3.2.3 through the twrp app. now backing up my system and continue following the guide..

Any suggestions?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] piet8stevens:
If you were on 3.2.1-7 before, it seems to me you are on an old bootstack. Is v5. 5 Oreo ? If not, first move to 3.2.1-8 and the corresponding bootstack. Then move to treble. I am not entirely sure but carefully reread the instructions to check this.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Surge_:
What concrete benefits does treble have right now?

I'm on the brink of switching from LOS 15.1, but the rather crude tutorial in the OP makes this all seem a bit sketchy...
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] koftheworld:
No benefit right now other than nfound supposedly isn't releasing updates to his roms for non-treble systems. I'm on 15.1 as well and am waiting for a/b implemention (or some other defined benefit) to consider switching.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] piet8stevens:
Well, once we can install GSIs, we will have better support for a much longer period of time for our phone. So, this is actually a very big deal. Current AEX based on treble should be as good as the last non-treble AEX and does not have the inconveniences of the current first releases of the vendor partition that works with GSIs.

Not sure that A/B will ever be implemented. Anyhow, with all of us on twrp and making systematic backups of everything all the time ;) that may not be such a big deal.

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] amaury48:
Been reading up on this Treble A/B and don't fully understand it all. I moved on to Treble AEX a week or so ago following NFounds original guide setup. Now I see a new thread on Treble A/B and kinda confused. What's the difference between the original NFound Treble AEX and this A/B treble....I have a A2017U.....
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] StickMonster:
There is no Treble A/B for our device, nor do we need it. We have Treble A. The Treble roms in this thread were only partial Treble. The other thread offers a full Treble experience so you can use ANY Treble A arm64 GSI rom. It doesn't have to be built specifically for our device. That's what's so awesome.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] beastobadness:
I believe treble A/B is used for seamless system updates meaning an update (usually stock manufacturers F/W) can be sent via OTA and installed in the background without affecting the usage of the device. Then on a scheduled restart it completes the installation a bit like a desktop OS update, just a lot quicker.

ZTE never implemented treble which was added in newer phones that launched with oreo, so we have a cut down treble A version thanks to NFounds implementation with just a single vendor partition.

Would be nice to have seamless system updates but that would take the fun out of being an android poweruser[emoji6][emoji1]

[MENTION=5492451]NFound[/MENTION] will there be a DU treble version?

---------- Post added at 11:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:48 PM ----------

Note that my battery is around 3000mAh so SOT is totally based on that. Also if you go outside a lot, your usage is going to be very different from mine because I do notice worse %/h after going out. I don't game and I mostly only read comics and watch youtube/twitch.

That said, my screen on average is around 12-15%/h. Sreen off 0.9-1.1%/h

(when reading comics 8-11%/h. watching videos & going out 14-20%/h)

Also, I just installed hellsgate x13 kernel to use the new lisi gov + LXT glassfish yesterday and I see INSANE boost in SOT. I would need to monitor more as these things tend to get back to to its norm after a couple charges.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] roisuke:
Doesn't LXT rely on the governor to be interactive? So after each boot even if you set the governor to lisi it'll switch back to interactive in order for LXT tweaks to kick in.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] janthe6th:
Thanks I didn't know that. But I tested just now and kernel adiutor still apply lisi + marrow on restart. LXT is still checked in magisk.

Another thing to note is that when I go from stock to hellsgate lisi + marrow, I used it for 1 day and the battery actually got worse. Only after apply LXT that is see better performance than stock kernel. But then again I need couple more charging cycles to confirm
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] roisuke:
I see, I was testing this on Ex kernel manager; but with kernel adiutor the settings hold. It actually takes a bit longer to reapply settings at boot but at least this way they stick.
