[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] kitcostantino:
i used mostly RR prior. Definitely a DD for me. Features are Beta, as is the ROM, but nothing (as many others have stated) that is a deal-breaker for me.

Also, OP has been working on an update. I imagine features will come in down the road. Coming from RR, the things i *momentarily* missed are: no control of buttons, sd card access, (says its corrupted, but its not.) Substratum works well (@archangel 's transparent theme) I had the "call bug" on moat versions of RR i ran, so im already acclimated to hit speaker on/off when i answer a call.

I am running the latest Hellsgate Oreo.(which is also compatible with N based roms if ya want to check it out on RR so you have a baseline). Ran the bundled stock kernel prior. Battery life on it was similar to RR for me, but better (smooth)

with no tweaking. charging atm to compare to stock oreo.

Many thanks [MENTION=5027381]OrdenKrieger[/MENTION] !!! This is a great start to Oreo on Axon 7. Thank you for all of your works!!

I cant wait to see what comes next for this rom.

I did get ytbp module to work. the sound modules (dolby, v4a, etc) don't seem to work on O EDIT: ahrions works properly. v4a sounds great on O.

Maybe whomever has the means to communicate with ZTE can plant the seed of having proper DAC/Dolby support in custom roms. Also on that note, I hope ZTE makes the new axon retain dual front stereo speakers. On N roms, at least, i could tell the difference on stock Dolby vs tweaked RR sound. (dolby as well) aka stock MiFavor has better audio.

I just read the last part. The leaked Oreo build from ZTE reportedly has a different Dolby UI. Maybe someone can make a Magisk module out of it
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] troy5890:
Just curious, does anyone get a message that the API is 27 when they try to flash Dolby atmos?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Cablespider:
Ahrion's V4A mod and the latest Arise Magnum Opus V4A work fine. I didn't try any of the other Arise mods.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] kitcostantino:
yup. i was wondering why it didnt say 26. lol
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] troy5890:
Thanks for telling me, I'll try them instead
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Teet1:
I have it downloaded and tried extracting it but as i have no experience in development I don't know which lib files Dolby depends on
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] kitcostantino:
yup. sounds great. thanks for the tip man!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Choose an username...:
Download the Axon 7 Atmos magisk module, open it and see which libs it has. Then just take those libs from the other ROM and see if it works on PNW.

It's a long shot but it may work
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] OrdenKrieger:
Because Android Oreo 8.1 is under API level 27. https://source.android.com/setup/build-numbers
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] troy5890:
Ah I see, thought we were still API 26
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Teet1:
It could be using new libs. Also, I cant seem to extract the APK file from the EDL package. There are three system images that are in .raw.img format and i don't know how to extract them. I used Ext2explorer but it only opens the first one. It crashes opening the other two system files. and I don't want to flash that ROM to get it all out so if someone has it flashed and would like to send me their /system/ partition backup by PM then by all means! Of course, there could be someone out there already trying to do it if it sounds that easy...I would love to use the new dolby UI on this ROM

I cannot express enough how amazing this ROM is. IT makes my phone feel like new, I can't wait for the new updates.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Choose an username...:
Just ask someone on that thread to get it for you...

Maybe the libs are the same, I think it's worth trying.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Teet1:
Couldn't get it to work. There might be some different libs because some of them have been removed or changed and a couple have been added. I flashed the ones that appeared in the leaked ROM in reference to the flashable magisk module and a couple were removed from the leaked ROM. A few new libs were added related to dolby, and added those too but it kept crashing. Logcat says this: https://i.imgur.com/ClcqbVr.png

okay ANYWAY, sorry for almost stealing your thread. we can create a new one for dolby atmos 2.5 (from the leaked rom)

After the end of the day, I got 6 hours and 24 minutes of screen on time at 5% in one and a half days on a single charge! This is amazing, double what I usually get on any ROM before Oreo. I'm still wondering what happened to LOS15 though :confused:
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] JTruj1ll0923:
Does the camera work in RR with Hellsgate Oreo? That's the one thing that doesn't work for me on Darkrom with Hellsgate.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Cablespider:
Probably best asked in the Hellsgate thread.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] chrisrodsa210:
At this point I'm saying "LOS 15.1 who?"
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] JTruj1ll0923:
You're right. My bad. It was just here so I thought one question and one response wouldn't hurt.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] kitcostantino:
EDIT: Totally flashed back just to find out. Yes.

the RR bundled camera works. typically, i actually use the zte stock camera on N, but yes the bundled one works with hellsgate o kernel

EDIT 2: Worked at first, but quit this morning 1/8. had to flash Llama sweet to regain it this morning.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Jeremy-X:
Hello,

Can I flash back to RR while keep B32 Oreo bootloader on my A2017G ?

Thanks.

[MENTION=4676535]Cablespider[/MENTION] could you please point me to those audio files. Thanks
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Hangoverr:
Magisk works. 15.1 version is what we are using
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] jw1985:
Don't think so because u need the right bootloader for nougat?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] reV17:
You should definitely be able to. B32 is a nougat bootloader. Just remove the trust zone in the RR zip if you get an error 7

I didn't see that sorry and thanks for the correct information:good:

Is someone experiencing issues unlocking the phone with swiping up?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] vwfreak2001:
Yes, it only works when swiping really high up.

And I have another issue. Something with the clock is wrong. My chronus widget shows not programmed alarms. Thank god its not ringing. And I get no alarm when using the countdown clock.

Thanks for your work.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Gases:
Just checked like a dozen times. No issue at all.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] OrdenKrieger:
This is more likely a problem of your widget app itself. The other issue should be a also fixed in the next release.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] joaste:
[MENTION=5027381]OrdenKrieger[/MENTION] Do you think the next release will also properly use the AKM DAC, or is that going to take a lot more time?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] WesTD:
rarely
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] OrdenKrieger:
It's already using the proper AK4961 DAC. No changes planed.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] joaste:
Thanks. As I mentioned earlier, everything seems to be playing at 48khz, even when the file used is 96 or 192khz. This was checked using dumpsys.

So they still could be an issue there, no?

Edit: do you think the speakerphone issue be fixed?

Edit2: by the way, the akm4961 is used for recording, not playback I believe.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Jeremy-X:
Yes I have to swipe very high on the screen or sometimes tap on the lock in the circle. That appears randomly. And keep the good work going ! :good:
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] OrdenKrieger:
I though you where talking about something else and yes the AK4961 is used for the recording of both microphones. I will look into that audio playback issue. And for the in-call issue I never had any problems besides that you sometimes need to toggle the loudspeaker on and off but I currently have no clue why this happens.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Choose an username...:
The AK4961 is the ADC with the crappy DAC though. The AK4490 is the hi-res one. The flashable zip on the Guides section enables it on Nougat-based ROMs, but maybe you can fix it and integrate right into the ROM
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Cablespider:

[MENTION=5027381]OrdenKrieger[/MENTION]: Good work on the ROM, it's a start towards Oreo for the A7. But it still needs alot of work and polish. One issue I've ran into so far is that the ROM says my MicroSD is corrupt. It's a 200GB Patriot and is formatted with the exFAT filesystem. exFAT is very common on MicroSDs that are 32+GB, in fact I do believe that the SD Association requires that 32GB+ MicroSDs must use exFAT if the manufacturer of the card wishes to use the SD Association's logo and be certified. Most other ROMs read my card just fine. But not this one. It is for this reason that I cannot yet make the jump from Nougat to Oreo. Maybe you can fix this?

I'm also waiting on Xposed for Oreo, which according to [MENTION=4419114]rovo89[/MENTION] is mostly complete, so it shouldn't be much longer. This is, of course, no fault of yours.

I also got a few crashes shortly after booting up the ROM, in which it went back to the boot logo and then back to the home screen. Nothing too serious, but it makes me question whether this ROM is stable enough yet as a daily driver.

It's also nice to see that a custom kernel has been released for Oreo here in this subforum.

Keep it up!

Can you confirm then that while on a call (call for example your voice mail), you are able to use your phone hands-free by using the speakerphone?

As mentioned, the speakerphone either works a little bit (i.e. a few seconds) before stopping, but ony if Touch Sounds is enabled in Settings->Sounds->Other Sounds, or does not work at all if Touch SOunds is disabled.

Again, this has nothing to do with the Mic bug, where people cannot hear you.

COuld you check and let me know? I'm on A2017G and have the above mentioned bug on most LOS/AOSP based ROMS, except for AICP niglties by genesixx.

EDIT: by the way, this behaviour was already confirmed by at least one other user in post #216.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] joaste:
By the way, while on the ROM, I also tested out skype calling and it was unusable. There was a lot of echo. Could someone test it out (I'm off the ROM for now as I need to be able to use the speakerphone during calls) to confirm if they have the same issue? If so, it could suggest an issue with the implementation of the mics.

Can't wait for the next release:D

Strange that pixel device is also having same issue that we are having on this ROM with lockscreen

https://www.xda-developers.com/google-pixel-swipe-gesture-lock-screen/
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Jeremy-X:
That's exactly the bug I encounter, and I think that's not user experience related but it depends more on the number of notifications "stacked" or not. When you have no notifications awaiting, it unlocks well, same if you have only one notification, swiping aside is working correctly.

I haven't had a crashes since day one. And from what I've read the SD card issue is an issue that comes with Oreo. Even my otg usb stick won't work, until I moved everything off of it and reformatted then put everything back.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Hangoverr:
I have a 32 GB sdcard but never had the issue everyone is mentioning about the card being corrupt in Oreo. Am I lucky or is that just an issue with larger sd cards?

When I first installed this ROM the card and it's data was recognized without any issues.

Please don't ask me why I just have 32 GB card :D. I just use that to store some files I want that I don't want to lose if any ROM messes up my internal storage.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] :
Me too. From the first moment on this ROM it was recognized and no problem until now. Thanks a lot [MENTION=5027381]OrdenKrieger[/MENTION], maybe it's a beta, but I love it [emoji16][emoji106]

Apart from the already stated broken camera (for example when using Camera inside WhatsApp, for WhatsApp Web or so). Also calling (via WhatsApp VOIP for example) seems to be a little bit broken. <= this seems to be fixed with the next build <3

So, last question [MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION] Any recommendations on 8.1 "must have apps & magisk modules"?

I See that i can choose between Different Bt audio Codecs in the developer settings.

Hi, I'm a noob looking into doing custom ROM cause I hate ZTE's rom and my battery life sucks. Does this ROM have support for hifi DAC already (or do I need to flash the patch?) Also does this ROM have speaker distortion and does it have stereo?

Thanks!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Lycidias:
I did a little further Testing, developer options Displays the Current used Bluetooth codec:

Audio device B (AAC) streams Audio over AAC, no matter if Smartphone or Audio device B initializes the connection first. AAC is always used.

Audio device A (aptx) Uses aptx only if the Smartphone initializes the connection first. When Device A initializes the first connection, SBC is used.

I had to Disable reconnect on device A to use aptx sucessfully. Smartphone needs to connect first is the only aviable solution. Manually selction of aptx in the developer settings Ends up in using SBC too.

Is it possible, that the initializing device sets the codec and not always the Smartphone? How can I force Codecs or priorize them?

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] P650SE:
I have a quick question, not specifically related to this ROM but since I'm running Project New World at the moment I thought it would be more appropriate to ask here rather than creating a new thread.

Basically, I want to try and ramp up my Axon 7's security a little bit. At the moment I have encryption disabled, but I am wondering if encryption is re-enabled whether it would still be possible for an intruder to easily access the files on internal storage via TWRP recovery? :confused:

I was always under the impression that encryption was useless on bootloader-unlocked devices since the files could be accessed by booting into TWRP, but just wanted to confirm whether this is indeed the case. And if so, then why do developers feel it is important to get encryption working in their ROMs if there is no realistic benefit to security?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Teet1:
TWRP cannot read your /system/ partition nor internal storage if it is encrypted. TWRP asks for your encryption password upon booting into recovery. So it's still very secure. In fact, I just did that not 10 minutes ago and it's all fine.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] P650SE:
Thanks for your quick response! I always thought it was funny why developers bothered with encryption if it could easily be bypassed with TWRP. I'm not sure what made me think that. (I seemed to remember running encryption on a ROM before and somehow it was still possible to access internal storage from TWRP, but maybe not?)

Anyway, since you've had success with the encryption I will have another attempt at it. Hopefully everything will be alright this time around. :fingers-crossed:
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] KwesiJnr:
Yep, I can confirm. Seems to work both ways, i.e. setting SIM 1 as data SIM enables sound during call and vice versa.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] piet8stevens:
With encryption enabled, you need to enter a password that allows twrp to decrypt your intrrnal memory. I am not aware of any option to get at your encrypted data without entering the password. For the sdcard, this is not the csse.

Edit: [MENTION=5393119]P650SE[/MENTION] sorry, had not noticed the quedtion on encryption had already been answered.
