The last official Lineage version up to date over OTA ( 14.1-20180304-Nightly )

My phone is the European Version.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mekzmaz323:
Sorry for late response.

Mine is working fine, use it daily now since sunday.

Bluetooth is not working @ all.

NFC not tested, but tdm wrote, it will not work.

5GHz Wifi is working fine.

It's fully stabile, no reboot or FC since sunday.

Battery life is poor, but it's alpha.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dgutie:
Just wanted to say thanks, the rom is stable and snappier than stock. Only thing missing is bluetooth, can't wait for that to work. Great work!

New build is up:

http://code.nwwn.com/files/android/axon7mini/lineage-14.1-20171030-UNOFFICIAL-tulip.zip

I haven't tested this yet, so save off a backup before flashing. Changes on my github, but the highlights are:

* Should fix WiFi and BT issues.

* Added assert for US firmware version 1.2.0 b14.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] tdm:
Sorry, the firmware assertions seem broken. I've removed them for now. New build:

http://code.nwwn.com/files/android/axon7mini/lineage-14.1-20171031-UNOFFICIAL-tulip.zip

I'll test and update the OP shortly.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dgutie:
5ghz wifi doesn't seem to work anymore. Bluetooth works now, thanks!
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] tdm:
Yeah see the aokp thread for the fix. I'll also post a new build tomorrow if you want to wait.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dgutie:
I found the file but when I try to save the changes it says premission denied. I'll wait for the build. Thanks for the help.

* Fixed 5ghz wifi.

* Re-added firmware assert.

Wow, you work fast! Any idea when NFC will be fixed? I'm dying to get my Amiibo scanning app working again. Other than that, though, great work. I'm impressed at the speed with which you fixed Wifi and BT.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] tdm:
Working on it. NFC is kicking my butt.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MrWhite0429:
Any idea on what may be the cause of fast charging not working? It's not a deal breaker by any means but I just noticed it wasn't working lol
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] tdm:
Haven't looked at that. Charging is usually handled in the kernel so I'm a but surprised that it's not working. I'll try to take a look after NFC.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kevincai96:
Any technical details? I'm a CS major, maybe I can help you look for a kernel patch. Fast charging is working for me, though.

Also, interestingly you note that while NFC doesn't work, sound has problems.

I've had the opposite. I can get NFC reading to work through TagMo, but get no sound whatsoever. Not in call, not in notifications / ringtones, nada.

---------- Post added at 02:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:26 PM ----------

Update: audio through headphones works. (3.5 mm)
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] tdm:
I'm not that familiar with NFC, really. But my understanding is that there are two ways it can be done: the AOSP way and the NXP way.

It seems intervigil used the AOSP way in the hiae device tree (hiae is the HTC One A9, this is the device tree that I copied to start development). So that's what I am using for the posted builds. I don't see any errors or crashes, but I can't seem to get my device to beam with another device.

u-dev used the NXP way in the axon7. The two devices both seem to have the same pn548 hardware, so I tried switching to that yesterday. Same result -- no errors or crashes, but also can't beam.

It's interesting that you say you can read NFC tags. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Does NFC work for anyone else?

As for sound, the central issue is the tfa9890 amplifier that drives the external speakers. Again, this same hardware is shared with the axon7. All other audio paths are standard, which is why audio works through wired and wireless headphones.

I've spent a fair amount of time hacking on the tfa9890 stuff. If you want to play with it, I'd be happy to share what I've learned.

This is all probably too detailed to discuss in a user facing thread. And forum discussions are way too slow to be useful for development anyway. If you want to hit me up for chat, I'd be happy to talk on hangouts. We have an axon7 dev group that has u-dev and a couple other bright folks. PM me with your gmail address and I'll add you.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kevincai96:
PMing you now.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] tdm:
So as it turns out, NFC does actually work. But the sensor is on the *front* of the device near the top. So the usual procedure of holding a card near the back or two phones back-to-back doesn't work. You need to hold the card or the back of the other phone near the top front of the axon7mini. Thanks, ZTE, for being different and wasting several hours of my time. :P
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mekzmaz323:
Are you absolutely sure, that you have not activated "OK Google" or the "Hey Google" command?

Also

ANY

TTS-App (like Reverb (for alexa)) kills any sound on my phone.

I´ve de-installed the Reverb-App, sound was back.

I´ve deactivated the google-thing - sound was back and is working since the one week now.

NFC (and android-Beam) is also not working here.

Tested with a Galaxy S7, a Huawei P10 Lite and a NFC Tag.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] h0m3us3r:
Confirm. With "OK Google" sound works for first few seconds after boot (lock unlock sound), after is gone for any app. Disabling "OK Google" brings sound back.

NFC is working. The loop in on the FRONT of the device, next to volume buttons, not on the back. Reading DesFire tags right now NP. Android beam works fine too.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Lord Penguin:
Sound doesn't work for speakers. Ringtones, alarms, and a few other things work some times, but never music. I have earbuds and I know this version of the rom has sound issuesbut I just wanted to know if there were any temporary fixes
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Moses467:
How do I get this to work on ZTE B2017GV1.2.0B13? Tuliptool won't open on my PC and Zadig won't find my device. I heard the bootloader is unlocked from the get-go so I tried flashing TWRP but my phone won't enter fastboot. I don't understand and would appreciate your help. Thank you in advance.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Diomorgan:
Non need to fast boot , just put your axon in EDL mode vi ADB and try to flash recovery without using tuliptools.

I skipped tuliptool because he wasn't able to find the phone, but tulip worked since I had qualcomm driver already installed from lenovo P8 Plus tablet...read my post about it on tuliptool thread! :)
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] emc02:
Is it possible to turn wifi really always on?

I've selected wifi to never go to sleep, but after a couple of minutes the phone can't be pinged till I turn screen on again.

Wifi sleep policy value is 2.

I would need that function on my home automation to check if someone is at home...
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] tdm:
I would need to look into that. If the issue is in the WiFi firmware, probably not. If it's a config file option, probably yes.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ariazmie:
i also install this rom (B13), but when i ran NFC test got failed in read card test. (*983*07# mode test).

what about LO15? ever you do the test? in both rom?

thanx.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] k500zm:
Nfc is located at the front of the phone in the top right hand corner - NOT the back - try it again and see ;)
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ariazmie:
Big thanks bro...
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Diomorgan:
I still keeping having ghost touch and apps reboot, plus Nova launcher hangs and has A LOT of ghost touchs...I'm a stupid and didn't TWRP BEFORE installing Lineage, since I was lucky with a "casual" driver install (as said in another post, tulip worked only after I installed a Lenovo Qualcomm drivers), in a nutshell, does somebody has "B2017GV1.2.0B13" EU stock flashable ZIP to avoid to reinstall TWRP? Thank you!
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ariazmie:
try this...its work well too for EU version.

NO WONDER ANDROID BEAM DIDN'T WORK! Many thanks for this valuable piece of information :silly:

Well, if even the instructions say that you need to put the phones back to back, then I think I can be forgiven this time ^^
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Diomorgan:
Thank you, but I need a nandroidd backup to flash in TWRP over lineage, otherwise I have to reuse tulip and I'm not 100% sure it will works again, as said, it worked just one time because I ibstalled some drivers from a lenovo qualcomm tablet, but It was on a laptop. I will lost twrp and root possibility if I flash the stock rom with the SD method!

Thank you.

UPDATE: I was afraid that ghost touches and mess up with display was a MyBackupPro restore consequence, but I just resetted the phone and even during the setup I can barely wrtire my email and password, since the keyboard comes and goes or random character are pressed wile I press other.Am I the only one who has this problem? I even did last 2 OTA. Could it be the EU version from gearb&st that someone didn't testeted enaught to see the problem?

Alright, started with sound and bluetooth working. Got wifi just now. Going to try to figure out camera next. Then pop a SIM in and see if the radio works. After all of that is done, I may push out an alpha build.

Edit:

Got camera to start but it won't show the preview image yet.

Radio works (calls, text, data) but audio routing for calls is broken.

GPS works.

Sensors (proximity, light, orientation) are broken.

NFC is making lots of good debug noises but haven't tested it.

Fingerprint is broken.

Nice to see 8+ coming for this phone.

Quick question how do I get root access so I can edit the kernel ? Try to squeeze some battery life out.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] tdm:
Flash the Lineage su addon for root access. But flashing a new kernel is best done from recovery, and TWRP already should work fine for that.

Can anyone confirm the battery drainage?
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NewbieGamingYT:
Same no matter what ROM I use!
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] emc02:
Battery drainage is a small problem, but I think it's caused by some interaction with app(s).

What I've seen, battery drainage is extremely high, when something went wrong with audio (routing?).

Normally when pressing the volume buttons you are changing the ringtone volume, but sometimes it changes the media volume (even if there is no media playing) and then the battery drain is high on my phone. Only solution is a reboot.

Maybe that's your problem too?

[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bigfoot29deu:
Hi! I am a little bit helpless/confused... Currently I am trying to

get LO14.1 on my 7 Mini. But right from the start, things don't like me:

1) The lineage-install-wiki here:

wiki[DOT]lineageos[DOT]org[SLASH]devices[SLASH]tulip[SLASH]install

refers to TWRP, which does not exist for the Mini. (Empty page, device not listed by TWRP)

I am not allowed to post a link. Sorry for bad readability.

2) Getting a TWRP-Build included with tuliptool is possible, however,

"adb reboot bootloader" just reboots the phone, because at least the EU ZTE

B2017G model doesn't seem to have a bootloader.

3) Following the inter-webs, I went to the EDL (alternate boot mode?

recovery?) by Vup+Vdown+Power. But:

4) There is no way to see my device with "fastboot devices" (while it

was being visible perfectly with adb) with Ubuntu 17.10 (18.04 beta has

no more recent fastboot)

5) Wiping just everything that is possible from within recovery/edl and

then trying to load something via ADB sideload cancels the update with

"update not signed".

So whatever I do, I am running against walls. The LOS wiki is currently

not useable, even in this threads first posts is an invalid method. Or

is the EU phone not supported at all? (But even then, TWRP is not

existing any more so the wiki NEEDS to be updated badly. :) )

Thank you in advance.

Edit: The (only?) current Solution for the TWRP is to follow the following howto word by word:

forum[DOT]xda-developers[DOT]com/axon-7-mini/development/unlock-tuliptool-unlock-twrp-custom-boot-t3682781

Please correct me, but afaik, tuliptool is the only solution right now.

The bootloader is unlocked for european models. So this step can be omitted.

The "EDL"-Mode shows NOTHING on screen. Looks like the phone is off, but following the howto, the device should connect (fastboot was not able to establish connection).

Other than that, 14.1 seems to run as smooth as I am used to know (well, 3dmark is not happy with the overall performance, but I don't care).
[MENTION=4126377]tdm[/MENTION]: Updating the first post to clarify that would be great.

But all in all: Thanks [MENTION=4126377]tdm[/MENTION]! You did/do a fine job here. ZTE should hire you. You were the reason, I bought their phone. :D

Regards, Bigfoot29

Thought it was an April fools joke but its April 2nd now and it's getting annoying.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] marvelljones:
*edited* You totally got me this time, because I didn't update until today (April 2nd in the US). Unless any part of this is serious, then my original comments still stand: It's a truly poor way to implement something that ultimately might be good. It also might make custom ROM users flee LOS for other ROMs that don't implement this "feature" since it's kind of a nasty message. My Mini is a "backup" phone, so it's not as big a deal for me. You can still get the Play Store to call your device certified, use banking apps, etc with Magisk. But the "unapproved" usage of Magisk doesn't eliminate the counterfeit message, at least not so far, since it's a different type of implementation. Or I just haven't figured out (or bothered Googling) how to do it.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] tdm:
Google has started cracking down on uncertified use of gapps in order to shame (mostly Chinese) vendors that ship unlicensed gapps. To be clear, this is *Google* not Lineage. All custom ROMs will have the same issue.

Google is aware of the custom ROM community and provides a way to request a device token. The official response from Google to Lineage says that you are allowed 100 active tokens.

Reference:

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/201...-uncertified-android-devices-from-logging-in/
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] k500zm:
Yeah I saw that - touch wood mine is still working tdm I love you btw:)
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] marvelljones:
Well according to this XDA article, you can bypass the "certification problem" if you clean install and install Magisk before first boot and setup. This won't require you to request a token. Not an ideal situation since LOS and a lot of other ROMs won't accept logs nor offer support if you do this.

*Edit* Verified this works on the Axon 7 Mini. What I'm still hoping is an April Fool's joke, LineaGenuine, still exists and annoys...

[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] marvelljones:
I read and did just that. Kinda sad the tulip builds show (or are) uncertified. Guess I'll hope for an AOSP build (probably with drivers from LOS) or an LOS based build that suppresses the message by default. Or I'll finally pluck up the courage to build my own, but I probably won't share it. I don't have enough confidence in my abilities (still learning) to risk screwing up other people's phones.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] tdm:
Wait, what uncertified are you talking about?

I didn't flash the prank build and I won't. I personally thought it was rather... unfunny. But if you have it, should be easy enough to remove. Just use the persist property to disable it. If you aren't comfortable with that, flash the previous build. The 14.1 branch is all but dead so no worries about not having the latest and greatest.

Google Play certification has nothing to do with the lineage prank. All you have to do is request a token and you're good to go.

But if for some reason you don't want to bother with requesting a token, you can get around it without too much trouble -- certainly without doing a full build. This is one half of the solution:

https://android-fix.com/google-play-problems/59-device-is-not-certified-by-google.html

The other half is a kernel patch:

https://review.lineageos.org/#/c/161049/

And that's all there is to it. Did it on my axon7 already (just to test, of course)... worked great.

Some ambitious dev could package this up into a flashable zip.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] marvelljones:
LineaGenuine isn't listed as part of the April Fool's joke according to their edited changelog. Maybe they used it to direct you to LOS coins & wallet which was the actual joke. If it's a false positive that is "corrected" in a later build or in LOS 15 I'm overreacting.

As for Google Play Certification, I'm a Magisk user who clean flashes LOS, Gapps, then Magisk prior to initial setup. That way the Play Store shows as certified right away. No need for a token nor the cumbersome 2-step fix. I use Magisk because my banking app refuses to work on any custom ROM and Magisk Hide is the only method that gets it to work consistently.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] tdm:
Yeah so just go back to the March 25 build and the prank goes away. If you feel the need to update, the April 8 build should be back to normal.
