Forgot to mention that I had already flashed [THREAD="2952137"]Guitardedhero's Viper[/THREAD] v4.7.1, which installed alright and seemed to be fully functional, except that when checking driver status while playing music it showed "Processing=no"...

The element that throws me off in the first place here is that "aroma" reference... isn't it supposed to be related to Xposed framework? Plus, any pointers to an official download?

BTW, I already have Magisk set-up but was expecting a simpler path to deploy V4A. Also, I'd like to stick to core functionality, not the 'kitchen sink' approach.

It's aroma, you decide what you install, the thing is, 2.94 will

work mostly, if it's get ugly on some roms with other viper versions. Just my experience. If you do it, like I adviced you in my link before, you'll get it fully working on this rom with selinux enforced.

I think in the end the result counts....?

I am very sorry if this has been asked before but there are just so many replies in this thread that I haven't checked through all the posts.

The main things stopping me from moving off stock are:

Sound quality - are there issues with the speakers and is the Hifi DAC still available? (I saw the discussion re Viper but the main issue is, does the ROM still take advantage of the hardware?)

Camera - is the stock HAL included or at least is the camera quality comparable?

Safetynet - does this ROM pass safetynet with Magisk? (OP says it does pass but wondering if this is still the case?)

Many thanks in advance.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] jw1985:
Every rom has unfortunately the call bug. U must push the speaker phone to here the other person. Same thing when u receive a call. But this rom is awesome with hellgate kernel.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] coremania:
No call bug with this rom on the g Version here in Germany.

Los bootloader and modem. Viper works, Magisk pass safety net.

Perfect rom with inbuilt kernel, fast and stable :good:
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] jw1985:
Yep everything works perfectly. I have the g model 2 but i have the call bug. Do u have b05 or b06?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] coremania:
I unlocked last month, I guess it's b05.

Edit: some guys reported b04 solved it too, just for info.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Dark_Eyes_:
New build is up!

Guys,

I just pushed a brand new build. It has all upstream patches from LineageOS, which includes the latest september security update and the blueborne patch for the kernel. I advise you to check if the custom kernel that you prefer has that blueborne patch as well. I haven't seen much kernels around that have it in. I also fixed a couple of bugs and polished the overall build. It should be close to perfection now. All in all I feel this is a very good build. It should have all translations in (except hindi) with addition of Turkish and Korean! Here is a detailed changelog:

- September security patch

- Blueborne kernel patch

- Immersive recents (hide status bar, navigation bar or both)

- Memory bar in recents

- Option to remove the lock task in recents

- Prevent locked task from being swiped away

- Add a switch to remove toast icon

- Add/remove QS tiles with one click

- Two columns in dashboard

- Hide cellular icon in status bar when the sim card is not provisioned

- Fix the charging sound option

It seems that Lineage is making good progress on the lineage-15 development, I'll keep a close look at it and start to work on the dark_oreo soon ;)

I know I'm getting annoying with this, but if you have a few bucks to spare and you enjoy my work, please consider a donation. My PayPal account is here. Many thanks in advance, it is truly appreciated.

I hope you like this release ;)

Delta updated, all works perfect as usual :good:
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] nfsmw_gr:
Thanks for that.

Once I get a few bucks on my paypal I may donate, but in the meantime I'm unemployed unfortunately.

You can freely have my thanks and appreciation though. :P

Could you consider adding a small feature in an update please?

Kcal support to tweak the screen's colors?

Custom roms lack that option stock roms have unfortunately, and this easily fixable by adding only three commits.

Since you said there are not many kernels around (and you are right about that), I think that sticking as close to stock would be the best, especially with all the changes you did. )

Either you add it or not I'm greatful for the update. :)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] dantedakilla:
It seems that V4A has stopped processing music coming from Poweramp after the update. I've tried clearing cache and data for Viper, disabling and enabling DVC in Poweramp (which usually fixes any processing problems previously) and even reinstalling Poweramp. There's no "Abnormal" status or anything. It's just not processing.

The only time it works is when I set V4A to Compatible mode. I want to be able to process sounds coming from other sources and apps so I try to avoid Compatible Mode.

Anyone have an idea on why this is happening? Before the update, V4A was processing normally.

Did you remove deep buffering on aroma installer???

And delete audio fx!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] banishedmonk:
i just installed the most recent rom as of 9/24/17 with magisk and i cannot connect my phone to my pc. im not seeing the option to use as a mtp of any of those.im running windows 10 64 bit i was able to do so prior to flashing this rom. is this a known bug or anything i can do to resolve? thanks

Hey, what zip did you use? I came from RR too. The terrible battery life is having me jump ship. I like long-pressing the back button and killing the current app.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] dantedakilla:
Reinstalling deep buffer remover through Magisk fixed it. Thanks!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] TPMJB:
This rom runs great! I'm running the F2FS filesystem with the Hellsgate EAS kernel. The only odd things I noticed:

-With encryption, on boot it asks for a pin and brings up the onscreen numberpad. The numbers don't work, this closes, and then re-opens again. Numbers work this time. Very odd and isn't a big deal

-Having the option to hold the back button and close your current app would be a huge help!

Otherwise, I have no complaints. It does everything I need! We'll see how it does on battery life. Hopefully better than RR. I don't have greenify or anything else installed to see how it works.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] dantedakilla:

Delta updated. Lost hardware button reverse mod and Messaging app. Looking into the later ATM, everything else appears unchanged.

Had the same issue, check my post at https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=73893538.

Reporting on further testing and with a nudge from coremania (ty!), I have now flashed both the 'ARISE+Deuteronomy+2.94+Modular+AROMA+Installer' and 'Arise+Magisk+Compatibility+Module+v4.0'; flashing and setup were done without any noticeable errors -- i.e., appart from I expressly requesting LOS AudioFX removal and it being still there, resulting in F-Droid's Vanilla Music still defaulting to it in its "Equalizer" settings...

Can it be removed manually? How? I already tried removing a V4A APK from '/system/priv-Apps/' with Root Explorer and it always fails. :(
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] banishedmonk:
Thanks I got it resolved ?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] coremania:
If you want to get rid of anything, boot to TWRP, Mount system and use the twrpfilemanager to delete audio fx for example. TWRP is your best friend ;)

Edit: btw you don't need the Magisk module

Viper working in short:

Delete audio fx, flash 2.94 aroma, remove deep buffering and you're good

And if you want to get rid of viper you have to dirty flash the rom
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] pnin:
Also tried that, didn't work...

Thanks, nice to know. That's more or less my options in the aroma installer. Only AudioFX is still there.

But upon further testing, it looks like V4A is now working as it should. :good:

I was trying to get rid of the version I had previously flashed before installing the one in ARISE. No biggie.

On a different issue, any insight on why I lost Messaging upon delta updating?

EDIT: Never mind, solved it by re-installing from the Play Store, 'cause TiBak borked the restore. The messages were still there. :)

Can you point me to those commits? I can certainly add them, but I'm not really a kernel guy, and it's hard for me to fiddle with it without having the device to test. Anyway, I'll see what I can do.

Substratum is working here. With overlays installed from several themes.

The PA Color Engine automatically disables itself as soon as an overlay is installed. No conflicts as far as I can tell.

Currently using SubS v853. Yesterday, with a previous version I did get an oops or two in the app but it still functioned properly.

Clear cache and data of Substratum and see if that helps. Either via AppInfo or from within the app itself, if it runs long enough.

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] TPMJB:
It's weird though - it's different from the long-press in RR. It takes about 4-5 seconds of holding it to kill the app, whereas in RR a long press is just barely holding the button.

I dunno, I'm anal about these things.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] dantedakilla:
It's probably the hold time. In RR, you can set how long you hold the button down before it kills the app. I can't seem to find that setting in this ROM. It's probaly defaulted to 2s or 4s.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] pnin:
The part we're talking of a file located in '/system/priv-apps/'; and when I reboot to TWRP, '/system/' shows up empty...

Also, AudioFX never went away (I had to disable it from its own UI), although I explicitly requested that in the Aroma installer. :(
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] bkores:
You have to mount system in TWRP for the system files to be visible
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] coremania:
Yes, like bkores said u got to mount system first in twrp, then

u can use the twrp filemanager to delete what ever you want in the system partion.

Edit: in the Aroma installer you can delete music fx, not audio fx,it's different on Los based roms. Best thing is to delete with twrp to be sure it's really done.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] TPMJB:
I didn't even know you could specify the amount of time a button hold lasts in RR. It's just shorter by default lol.

Buttons

Does Dark ROM allow custom definitions of hardware button actions (in other ROMs, you can define what a button tap, double tap and button hold do)? It is not listed in the OP.

Yes. It has all Lineage features.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] soren25:
It doesn't have the same number of options as AICP or RR. This is a screenshot of all the hardware navbar options (you can also set long press back button to kill current app in the developer options.)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] marcdw:
Has button actions, as shown in that screenshot, but lacks what I need/use. So with Dark ROM I use ButtonMapper from the Play Store.

Onscreen numberpad for encryption disappearing and re-appearing is something I also have on unofficial RR, AOSPExtended, so seems to be more general than just for Dark ROM.

Question: does the standard kernel that comes with Dark ROM also support F2FS?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] TPMJB:
As far as I know, the standard kernel does not. I don't know why but I'm getting WAY better battery life after switching from F2FS back to EXT4. F2FS is nice n all, but nobody wants to support it;.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] piet8stevens:
Experience so far

Switched to Dark rom, with Extras, Light Patch, Magisk, Nanomod full package (so gappless) and button manager. Rom seems to work really well.

I have one issue that I need to fix: when trying to activate fingerprint sensor in settings, I get an fc. Any ideas on how to fix?

One other (smaller) issue is that the keyboard selection does not seem to stick. I set it to Swiftkey but it reverts to the AOSP keyboard that came with extras after a short while. Not sure yet when it switches back. As a workaround, I have just disabled the other keyboards. Hope that works.

A big thank you to the developer.

EDIT: after a few restarts, the fingerprint issue disappeared. I am not sure what caused it. So, no major issues left.

I've noticed a small bug: when choosing the white colour in the Screen Settings as the main colour, the notification tiles' background remains grey. It doesn't affect the black colour. Maybe it is not a bug, though.

Also there is a bug in the SnapCamera app, but you can find it in any of the LOS-based ROMs. When you take a photo and then pull from the left corner to open the camera's settings menu, try pulling from the right corner to open the gallery. You will see a mash of thumbnails and the settings menu/camera image. It is not present in the Sultan's LOS builds for the OPO, for example, so I assume you could squash it if you have time.

Otherwise, this ROM is nearly perfect, and your work's totally awesome. Thank you!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Dark_Eyes_:
The grey qs tiles background is not a bug. The white theme simply uses the stock nougat theme (except accent color), which has grey qs tiles by default. I agree it would be nice to have it white too, if I had time I could probably do it, but unfortunately I don't want to invest too much time in the nougat version because I want to start working on Oreo asap.

Next time I build snap camera, I'll use sultanxda's version. Hopefully it will fix this bug! Thanks for letting me know.

[MENTION=3254420]cirnocirno[/MENTION], did you let the ROM even settle before judging its performance, battery, and playing games?

Slow up a bit. Do some reSEARCH as you seem to be asking a bunch of things here and there that have already been discussed/covered/asked/answered.

Could probably save a little time and gather up some info instead of waiting for it. ?

I didn't denounce the performance in fact I salute it. The performance of the rom is superb but my concern was regarding while playing 2d/3d games that are not demanding makes the phone somewhat, powerhungry, don't know what forces it to chew 1-2% each 3rd min.

This doesn't happen when watching video, chatting, calling or anything else. I even set it to battery saving state on the options of this rom and the general usage became better but the gaming part is still the same, don't know what makes it do it. Which is why I am asking.

I have done some "reSEARCH" and most is covered earlier but seems to reoccur, so that is why I am asking again.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] marcdw:
[MENTION=3254420]cirnocirno[/MENTION], I think I'll check the ROM against my game also. I do remember on one ROM where just being in the game a short time would suck down battery.

I usually spend short periods in it so never paid much attention before. I'll be putting Dark ROM back on the phone and see what happens.

Besides, I miss it as my main. ?

Bank apps work in most cases when you use Magisk Hide. Custom ROMs definitely take more effort from the user, but the benefit is you get open source, can go gappless, protect your privacy, use themes.

Speaking of Xposed, recent test on Dark ROM worked out well. It was a short test on a clean install.

I used the classic (system) installation along with SuperSU. Tested GravityBox and all worked well. Especially on-screen navbar assignments which never works well in other ROMs I've tested on (capacitive/hardware button assignments always work).

Main reason for playing around was to see if Unicon works. It does.

But anyway, the framework and most modules are still fickle and unstable.

As I promised myself I gotta get back to my normal Dark ROM installation.
