You can try to uninstall google play services and try again. But try first to wipe cache/dalvik in recovery

No problem ! Just folow instuctions in order and you'll be good to go :good:

Do see that you're on twrp 3.1.1.0
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] thor486:
Thank you :) I noticed another bug, when I try to switch the data to the SIM 2, it says the connection has been interrupted because I need to enable the data roaming, but the data roaming is enabled already..
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
You're working with 2 sims right ? Are they from the same provider ? Tried switching them ?

If you mean something other than that do update me.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] nonperson:
Certainly. Thanks very much for the rom.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] thor486:
yes I'm working with 2 sims, one is italian, the other one is british. I have a chinese axon 7 4gb/128gb
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Dodgexander:
I've found that almost all the unreliability of Google apps on this rom are down to the default battery saving policies.

Try disabling them for each app to test. For me it stopped maps, Gmail and chrome from freezing up.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
Can you make phonecalls on both of them ? Or just one ? Try perhaps with another sim.

Good you mention that :good:

This is one of the first things i do when flashing new roms : looking into the saving policy and adjust where needed.

I'll update OP to minimise future and possible fc's
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] thor486:
Yes I can make phone calls on both of them, there's only this problem with the data on the second sim. I tried disabling the power saving policies for the Google apps but they are still crashing, I noticed that when I share my location on WhatsApp the app crashes and in the balloon with the location there's a label saying "Google play services are updating". Maybe I can try to reinstall gapps from scratch? The problem is I can't uninstall Google play services in the settings...
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] joaste:
Try just disabling both the playstore and services and delete any data for both. Once done, try to open Maps. You should get a message saying that play services needs to be updated. Update it. Once done, clear the cache in Maps and open it. If it does not find your location or freezes on opening, uninstall and reinstall it. Clear cache again. Also make sure that permissions are granted for location. I noticed that this B13 has some issues managing permission.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] therock11:
Does anyone have issues logging into Chrome? I did a fresh first install of this ROM and everything else looks good but it asks me to sign into Chrome everytime but then tells me the account already exists.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] joaste:
What bootstack file are you using?

I have had many issues like that when installing b13 based ROMs on my a2017g.

Re installing play store and services helped, as well as checking all permissions.

I had many issues on the b13 bootstack files. Only the universal bootloader file worked for me.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] noeybou:
For A2017 chinese version, there's no need to install modem, right?

feel kinda stupid asking this, but just wanna make sure b4 I do the install on this rom! thx
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
These bootstack files, also like the universal bl, do not contain modem. You'll find them included on [MENTION=2658444]kenet[/MENTION] ADM rom if you want them. I don't know your exact state but if you have a A2017 model just flash A2017 modem. You'll find it also under LOS14 thread and other places. I'll update that specific modem soon in OP.

So check your model and flash appropriate modem too. No harm done. If problems you can always revert ;)

BTW : there are no stupid questions here :good:
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
Hi joaste! In the attempts to get this MF5 running I also used the universal one. It booted also fine and at first also no issues. Afterwards I went to B13 and in principle no issues too. But as you have better experiences with universal I'll update OP and add this possibility.

Installing it afterwards does no harm. So users can try this piste out too. Thnx for mentioning :good:
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] joaste:
Thanks for the input! For info, I have also tried installing the B13 files after the universal one. The main issue I had with the B13 one, is that for example, adaway can no longer update. It either says that it has updated the hosts files and asks to reboot, but after reboot, it says it needs updating again, or it says that it was unable to write the hosts files.

The only way around this was to reflash the universal one.

Any ideas?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
No ideas my friend. Adaway and so on were working fine. These cases I always test for a few days before uploading of course.

It's strange that also the issue with GPS is not general. Worked with me flawless as we discussed before. This MF5 is like said before a bit stubborn.

I'll update OP like said with your findings :good:

BTW : you're on Magisk with this Rom?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] noeybou:
I'm such a newbie for this. I just have one phone right now, so i don't wanna screw up :(

and Yes, I'm using an A2017 model. So, I guess I will just flash A2017 modem on Step5.

Btw, thank you again! :good::good::good:
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] joaste:
I was using SuperSu. To be honest though, I have been moving around to different ROMS in the past few days. The best battery life I was able to get on a stock based ROM was on the ADMteam B13 based rom (all of the issues mentioned so far e.g. adaway, gps also occurred on that ROM with the B13 bootstack files). I think the battery life is also affected by the modem file. Best for me was the older modem file from the LOS thread. The A2017G B08 modem has perhaps better signal, but at the cost of battery life. Since I have never suffered from bad signal, I tend to stick with the older modem.

When I originally tried out LOS based ROMS, I was getting really bad battery, so went back to stock based. I decided yesterday to try out Purefusion, which has some bugs, but is by far the best I have ever had, on any phone, in terms of battery life.

I do like MF4 (I do prefer MF5) and did not unlock/root my phone for a number of months, as I was quite happy with the stock ROM, but my flashoholic habits have returned :silly:
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
All true! The B08 modem which is in this thread is the latest modified modem for G and indeed also for me the best signal. But you can always flash B06 modem and test it out for some days, even over PF.

Yeah, the flashaholic thing is brewing here too all the time. This phone has undergone quite some hard days :silly: I even smoked up my 128gb Evo sd because of putting all kind of stuff on it to test... Totally worn out...

We keep each other updated. Thnx!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] joaste:
Will do.

For info, the bad battery on stock started for me with the B06 update. I believe the modem I'm using is an older version.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
Yeah true. Los14 works on the early B01 I think. Have to check. In Download Center you can check all versions for G on Nougat. There are 3 major ones.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] therock11:
This appears to be what my issue is. How do I disable these power settings? I don't see anything specific under power manager.

I'm using the U version but not the universal bootloader. My google maps and chrome apps are about useless at this point.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
Under settings/power manager/power management for apps

There you can set things up.

Also do check your Power Plan

Also try universal BL instead

Also follow advice [MENTION=4254898]joaste[/MENTION] that can be usefull for any app (this is only for maps, gps...) : just disabling both the playstore and services and delete any data for both. Once done, try to open Maps. You should get a message saying that play services needs to be updated. Update it. Once done, clear the cache in Maps and open it. If it does not find your location or freezes on opening, uninstall and reinstall it. Clear cache again. Also make sure that permissions are granted for location. I noticed that this B13 has some issues managing permission.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] therock11:
I tried the power management changes for individual apps and cleared data for play store and services. I'm still having issues with most of my google apps. Android Wear is now not responding.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
Reinstall playstore and services
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Dodgexander:
It's not only the power settings but the auto run settings too. I think when I disabled play services from auto running it caused gmail, maps and chrome to crash.

I'm not sure why it does because they should just run on demand rather than start up.

But I think the auto run settings may not be only on boot, but instead auto run if another app is run too..If you see what I mean.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Dodgexander:
I may have spoken too soon. Today I used my phone for the first time and hangouts crashed.

When I opened the app it was just blank, yet I was still getting notifications.

I tried force stop and re open but it didn't help, so I had to clear data for it to work again.

Not sure what happened, maybe apps are forgetting permissions? Maybe the power manager is causing the problem?

Vanilla android uses both doze and scheduled wake up so I'm not sure why sometimes there's this problem.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Ekol98:
:good:Thanks Man,

Just installed. Coming back from A2017 original China ROM same flavor, because of China ROM unable to use Google service, after I found your ROM decided to give it a try so far so good and still updating my Google Apps.

For those that curious to be exact I only install this ROM and Bootstack Fix caused I was thinking my device version is A2017. Others modem I look at it maybe is Not compatible.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] noeybou:
So, you only install ROM and Bootstack Fix? You didn't install A2017 modem and everything is working fine?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Ekol98:
Neah, Google services having problem. Firstly from gmail you can't see your profile picture. Also from Google Play setting at the bottom most in Device certification, it mention Uncertified. 1 of the apps actually weather app from the maps supposedly maps but the map didn't appear and it says Google Play services are updating, meaning the map is Not shown. I think somebody ever mention Location services was having issue as well.

Currently don't have any idea to resolved. Hopefully somebody can guide along or point to the fault.

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] bkores:
Safetynet. You'll need to flash Magisk to pass Safeynet and then Netflix will show up in Play Store.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Dodgexander:
I had to give up using this rom because of the problems with crashes, mainly with hangouts..I don't know what the problem was but it seems to be common on all the stock roms.

Now I'm trying adm rom again and although now I don't get crashes there is a problem with magisk. It appears you can't win! xD
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] HuKu52:
system not writable, reboot disemmcwp and mount system in twrp --> no success.

Any solution please?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
All MF5.0 roms have different behaviour on different devices, strangly enough.

I've never had any problems on this one. But if there were problems, main issues could be improved by flashing the universal BL, wiping cache, data even uninstall apps.

ADM rom also has these problems (like gps,...) on some devices.

In my next AROMA i've a different install procedure to use which should bring more stability to this MF5.0. Also, root permissions that wouldn't last, are improved imo.

Also a new tweak will be added to improve battery SOT.

Install again like this : wipe, flash universal B15, flash latest twrp 3.1.10, flash ROM and reboot. And try again in terminal app or adb. This rom is fully rooted, BBox installed, system r/w and so on. So you should be good to go.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] HuKu52:
system is now writable, important is universal B15 instead of B13 bootloader. Thanx a lot.

Does this rom enable on screen navigation buttons on 2017U?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Dodgexander:
I think I also suffered from system not writable and I was forced to install with b13 bootloader.

Thanks for the info regarding the crashes. I look forward to trying the new release.

I think this applies to maybe all modified stock roms but it would be great to just end having to use multiple bootloaders, if the universal technically works why do we need to all use different ones? It would maybe make life easier for all.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Choobilsky:
Will try. Is it possible to use the last modem for the A2017 (Chinese model) with the universal B15? Would it work to swap the NON-HLOS file in the B15 Modem zip by the NON-HLOS file from the Chinese B13 bootstack?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
I figured out that the B13 would start first boot easier then on B15. But once on B13 the bootstack should be best replaced with the B15. So in my new one it's based on B15 without modem of course and also other recenter files. Therefore i think it will improve things as my tests so far gave no problem at all on root issues and therefore imo also will stop forcecloses on apps, etc...

So hopefully the new one brings more stability for everyone :o

For a good understanding universal B15 does NOT contain NON-HLOS neither my specific B13. I left the choise to users to implement their needs for their specific modem.

But you definitely can flash your latest chinese modem on the universal B15, even paste/zip it in B15 as you want. Important : use your specific related modem and you'll always be good to go. No harm done by that :good:

Do my best in next one. Tested GPS = 5 sec fix, tested Maps = no fc on my phone, DDreamVR ok, also new battery tweak give a nice.... 8.30h !

Will upload it next week (do not always have time...) :good:

This version is downloaded in rather short time about 350 times, so if this was that bad i would have had more neagtive response.

But i understand this is not your thing.

Also as said among others, this china version is not as stable as our N-B08 f.e., totaly true. But i and others do our best to make it as good as it gets to at least work with in a descent way. All users have different favorites...impossible to do best for all ;)

Btw, all MF5.0 are not fully perfect.

Most of it, choose your rom that suits you most and enjoy man !

i am replying on this other guy.But i have problems with your stock roms and that is none of them boot,even with right bootstack.i want to use your rom bro,looks very promising
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
No problems.

Strange you cant boot with those bootstacks. Even on N-B08 its a general made bootstack and no problems ever with this...

You were on which rom before ?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Predatorhaze:
i was on RDX stock rom.i did full wipe,reboot recovery,install B08 bootstack,install ROM,reboot system...it boot to the screen it says my device unlocked,then it restart and the same happens.Btw when i flashed a rom and do a reboot,i get 3 blinking red lights and need to reboot again

EDIT: I flashed the latest ADM b13 rom and it works fine,systeem boots and everything.i cant see the problem....could it be a TWRP issue?Because my fastboot was also gone
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
Go into twrp again and just flash universal B15 to see what happens( if not already done ) , stay in TWRP and flash TWRP3.1.10 (my next B15 fix has this twrp3.1.1.0 init, so no problems with latest twrp...)

If 3 red's, just boot into twrp again (keep holding power+vol+...) and flash B15 as said and reboot.

Keep in mind that B15 has no modem,so if not flashed already flash appropriate modem after B15.

You should be good to go i hope.

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
I do not have this feature anymore as i'm on a newer version but i think it was under diplay/... it's in Russian and you can turn it of. Or just deinstall one of last apps in your app list. You'll notice.

As for the FC's, it a common known problem. A temporaly fix would be to flash the B15 and twrp3.1.1.0 in the same flash. Also go into MiAssistant and run accelarator/settings and disable lockscreen boost. In the same screen tap "protected apps list" and choose.

Just try this out:good:

I flashed the package when installed the rom,but dont works good.Yesterday i flashed another rom and chrome works good but maps also fc like in your rom.Its because chinese rom or what?If i flash us rom and 2017 bootstack it will be good?Unfortunately i need to use gps often,so its a huge problem.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
Yeah it's caused by this Chinese rom. I do know when you have a good gps fix, the maps are running ok in my case.
