Hello,

if someone is still interested, I just made this fresh build for my Axon 7 Mini:

Filename: lineage-14.1-20200410-UNOFFICIAL-tulip.zip

Checksum: 622d7404e4b6dbf40a1e0e95b0554ebb

It's pure Lineage OS 14.1 without GApps, without any modifications, with 05 March 2020 security patch. ;)

Please keep 'em coming! I will use this device as long as someone provides the security updates for this device! :good:
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bigfoot29deu:
Hi. Just a small heads up.. a new build will be coming shortly. I was moving my home. Sooo... well, yea. Build box should be ready in one or two days.

Just FYI... Just because LOS reports the current sec level doesn't mean automatically, that these patches are included. At least, this is what I have heard. Couldn't verify it, tho. So please keep an eye open for that.

Regards, Bigfoot29

Ey Dev, i will wait, thanks.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bigfoot29deu:
[MENTION=5309638]juanantofb[/MENTION] : You are welcome. :)

Soo... looks like my dev... uuuh... compiler box is back working. So here we go.

Should be possible to adb-sideload that if you used one of my previous images already.

On a side note: I have had no time to update my A7m with that build. I will wait till the next build within 2 weeks - more or less. I have no use for my phone anyway. So please be informed, that you will be the alpha testers of this build.

Anyway, have fun! :)

Regards, Bigfoot29

Update: [MENTION=8459729]Machi007[/MENTION] : Thanks for having another capable builder! So in case I am not able to build any longer, you are welcome to take over. :D Just be warned, that it might be possible, that you will have to wipe your phone when switching between our builds... and as Machi007 already stated: All my builds are without Google as well. If you want to go the googley way, you can always go for OpenGAPPs or if you want to free your phone (what else would you use LOS for otherwise? ^^ ), I advise to have a look into MicroG. (Most simple way is probably using NanoDroid-Builds since they include everything needed. Well, at least they did last year. *cough*)

Thanks for building! Dirty flashed over your last build without problems.

Just as a heads up: [MENTION=2388665]TheSSJ[/MENTION] is currently messing around with LOS 17.1. Lets see how that will develop. :)

[MENTION=1995555]SGH-i200[/MENTION] : That doesn't look too good. Maybe I have time to check. :) (Please note: I don't modify the code. I just build it (as of now).) Oh, and thanks for the heads up regarding working state. Currently I am messing around with it again as well. - Having my A7m back for fooling around. ^^

[MENTION=5309638]juanantofb[/MENTION] : Running it using TWRP is the right way. "adb sideload" means basically "using twrp". There is another way using "fastboot", directly flashing partitions. But this is not how "our" updates work. :)

Regards, Bigfoot29

PS: Looking through my mega folder, the first build was made a little bit more than a year ago. Well, time passes fast. o.0
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] SGH-i200:
Congratulations on your anniversary! Your updates have contributed to the fact that I have been using my A7m as my main device for the last few months and that I only use my Pixel 2 smartphone as a secondary device because there is no reason for me to switch to the Pixel except for the photo quality. So your work contributes to environmental protection! :)
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bigfoot29deu:
A longer break. Sorry... I don't have much time left for messing around with my A7m. :/

By the way... no bump up to september update. But since that is an number only anyway, be aware, that there might be more and more security risks running LOS 14.1. :(

Thank you for this build! Why some want to stay on LOS 14.1 and don't move to LOS 16? Is it because of "Selinux permissive" in LOS 16?

https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-stable-lineageos-16-0-unofficial-for-zte-axon-7-mini-aka-tulip.3927785/

In short: Higher security update level as in LOS 14.1, but you will have to live with these known issues:

Very minor graphical glitches

sometimes videos don't play, you have to remove the relevant all from your recent app list and restart (e.g. WhatsApp)

Selinux permissive

Thank you for keeping this going, I just got the B2017 for very cheap and I am using it as a high-res audio player. Your ROM supports hi-res 24bit @ 192 kHz with PowerAmp.

If you don't mind building a 2021 build with the later updates would be great!
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] undadog4eva:
Hi @TheSSJ . thanks for keeping this going. Same as @killer23d i got b2017g as a hi-res audio player. looking forward to any updates you provide!

I actually gave up on the Axon and bought a LG V20 as DAP, it has more support over there.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jreed1096:
I'm getting random freezes, where the screen turns off and the lock button doesn't do anything. I haven't used the AOKP rom long enough to see if it happens on it, too. Holding the lock button and force restarting it does turn the phone back on.

I'm running the latest build with gapps 7.1 micro without root.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MrWhite0429:
I've had it happen with me once on the AOKP rom. I marked it up to a daydream app I was using. After I got rid of the app the issue never happened.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jreed1096:
I'll check the apps I've installed. It doesn't happen often, so that's good. But I'm hoping it is an app and not the OS
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
It's nothing new to me. It happened to me a while ago on AOKP, but I've had it happen on stock, as well.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] emc02:
I did not have freezes so far, but as I said, the echo is not good.

I found an App from ZTE to test the phone functions and there seems to be some problem with the mic and speaker for phone calls. The output from recording is at veryvery low volume! And the phone function test fails completely (should play the ringtone over loudspeaker).

And changing the phone volume on a call is not possible. The bar shows that the volume is in- or decreasing, but the volume doesn't change. No one else with this problem?

Maybe the european version has other hardware?! I don't know ;)
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] tdm:
Yes everyone has these problems. I'll be trying to fix them after the camera. But I cannot guarantee success... sound is very difficult in large part due to the external amplifier and Dolby.

The low volume is likely due to factory tuning with Dolby, similar to the big axon7 (it's too loud).
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] tdm:
New build is up. Changes:

* Fixed radio signal strength.

* Fixed audio with assistant listening.

* Fixed camera with FB messenger.

The only real remaining issue that I can see is that in-call volume cannot be changed.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] RedoxReaction104:
I created an account to say thanks, and comment on how awesome this ROM is.

It's WAY WAY faster than the stock rom...and it seems to be WAY more stable as well. I can't be sure as of yet, but I think my phone is running cooler than stock rom (probably because all that location service garbage in mi-favor is gone). Thank you for developing a ROM for this phone. This is one case where the hardware for the phone was sublime, but was held back by ****ty firmware.

I had two MINOR problems. The first is that I can't seem to turn off the stupid "keyboard press vibration". Using gboard, whenever I try and access the setting to turn this off, it crashes. It isn't all settings either because some of them work.

The second is the 5GHZ captablity. I cannot get this to work beyond 10 seconds. I think that's because of the kernel module used for it; the phone does not naively support it....so I'm not sure how you're compiling the driver for it, but I would check into the warnings. It DOES work, and it DOES provide very fast speed - although that module crashes within 3 minutes of connecting to an N or AC router.

EDIT: And the lineage root add on seems to work very well too, it just doesn't allow me to use the superSU app...but that's more than fine with me since privacy guard seems to handle it.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] tdm:
Thanks for the kind words.

Regarding keyboard vibration, gboard is external to the ROM. I have installed it and tried to reproduce your issue, but it seems to behave perfectly well for me. Perhaps you can get me a log? I can't guarantee that I can solve the issue, though, as gboard is not open source.

Regarding 5ghz, it seems to work well for me and some others that have spoken up. It is not supported by the OEM, so I suspect the manufacturer doesn't do any quality control on the 5ghz side. It's possible that your hardware has some defect. I'd be happy to look into this further if you can provide logs, but I'm not sure I can do anything except maybe verify that the hardware is not working properly.

Regarding root, Lineage is designed to work with its own superuser add-on. I don't use or support SuperSU. And because SuperSU is not open source, I can't really diagnose its problems. If there is a particular reason to use SuperSU such as a feature that you want, let me know and I can look into adding that into Lineage.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] RedoxReaction104:
Wow, thanks for the speedy response!

I wouldn't doubt that my phone has some technical problems with it. I honestly think it has some weird memory problem where the bootloader is either stored or held in primary memory; until now (with your rom), I've had tons of problems with the phone including but not limited to: random restarts, apps crashing for no reason, bootloader failures, boot hangs, and other stuff.

I was very tempted to just sell the phone, but since it was so cheap (I got it on the black friday) the year it came out, I kept it as a backup and use a Samsung S6 (with almost the exact same specs) as my main one.

If you can provide with directions on how to send you logs or a how to link I'd be glad to do so. Just don't bust your hump over the phone because there may be something actually wrong with mine (good reason why to never by stuff on release day). I use linux everyday for home and work so I could figure it out with a good guide; but, a lot of this embedded linux stuff is a bit beyond what I've been exposed to as of yet.

I did have a question for you though. It's rumored that this phone will get upgraded to android oreo - are you planning on updating the lineage rom with it's release? If not that's fine, but it's going to determine how long I keep this phone as a backup.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] tdm:
To get a log, obtain a copy of adb (you'll find it all over xda, or I can post a copy). Then enable adb in developer settings, and run something like "adb logcat > log". Then do whatever you need to trigger bad behavior, and send me the log.

I haven't heard whether ZTE will provide a stock Oreo upgrade. But regardless of whether they do or not, I'm pretty sure I'll be building Lineage 15 for it once Lineage 15 is usable.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] tdm:
New build is up. Changes:

* Fixed flashlight.

* Fixed back camera preview in FB messenger.

* Second attempt at fixing audio.

* Misc changes.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] emc02:
Echo in calls is gone (tested with 3 calls) and only the upper speaker is on, as it should be!

So for me only changing in-call volume is missing for a perfect ROM!

THANKS!
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jumpychampak:
Almost everything's working really well. Thanks [MENTION=4126377]tdm[/MENTION]. I've noticed two bugs so far: First, I'm still getting audio from both speakers in whatsapp calls. Second, and this is very minor, the Status Bar setting "Quick Pulldown" works from the right side if I've selected left and the left side if I've selected right. I'm not sure if that's a mistake in my comprehension of the setting or an actual bug though.

I have two questions...

The first (and most important one) is how can I give you some type of donation for your work on this phone? I'm willing to pay around 5 dollars for each update that I install on my phone. Do you have a paypal account or some type of patreon set up?

The second is trivial; what does a person need to learn or do in order to do make these types of mods possible? What pre-req information does one need? Do you recommend any particular reading material?
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] tdm:
My paypal is in my profile. paypal.me/tdmcode

Which mods are you talking about? Making a whole custom ROM? That could be a book... and a rather thick one lol. :laugh: It requires an in-depth working knowledge of Linux, Android internals, Qualcomm components, and many other things. And even then, there's a healthy dose of tribal knowledge and "kanging" (taking work others have done and tailoring it to your device).

I've been doing custom Android ROMs for about 6 years (including working at cyngn for about 2.5 years) and I still don't have a good grasp on everything. For example, the audio stuff on this device is forcing me to learn all about how the audio, mixer, and amplifier systems work from the Android level, through the HALs, and all the way down into the kernel.

That said, the bar is not that high to start building ROMs. There are many tutorials out there. All it requires is a desire to learn.

[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] emc02:
I think it is normal that the contacts of the sim are not shown (I think they are shown on some Samsung stock ROMS).

You can import your contacts from SIM to your google-account or local phone storage in contacts-app (Import-Export).

This is working fine for me on lineageos and so on this ROM.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jumpychampak:
The fixes on the standard phone are working fine, but none of the fixes have affected any calling app such as Google Duo or Whatsapp. In Google Duo and Whatsapp calls, non-speakerphone still outputs through top and bottom speakers, the other side still hears a heavy echo, and in-call volume cannot be changed.

I accidentally answered your wrong post in the other forum. Pasting it here in case a mod sees it and removes it:

No. Unless it happens every time, it's "normal" for this phone. I do not remember the reason why. You just have to hold the power button down like you are already doing. I'm using a different phone right now, but my mini does the same thing occasionally.

Somewhat of an unrelated question, but I still feel the need to ask.

Almost everyone agrees (and I am guessing they are going off the lifehacker article) that killing programs in android is bad, especially in android 6.0+ because of the doze mode.

This rom has the (awesome) ability to kill any front running program by holding the back button. This often works WAY better than just putting the process to sleep using greenfiy or doze - are there any actual disadvantages to killing a process on android?

I still don't fully understand why it's bad to do that in the first place - even if a process is asleep, it can always be moved to the front, run background services, and still be using phone resources though OTHER programs (I think busybox would be a good example).

Also, I hope you got the money I sent over paypal.

[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] emc02:
Thanks!

I've tested it and speaker phone works as expected! Everything fine now. Maybe the range of volume adjustment could be bigger to have lower lowest volume and higher highest volume? If possible on both, speaker and normal phone?

An other issue appeared in this build, my flashlight is greyed out. On last build it was working normal. And camera app is force closing. I've flashed as usual by wiping dalvik, cache and system and reinstalling ROM-Gapps-SU (but I've used the gapps from 15. Nov) could that be the problem?

edit: it's not related to gapps, tried again with gapps from today and also greyed out!
