Frequently Asked Questions

​

Do I need to update my bootstack before flashing?

Yes, if you don't come from B32 stock it's necessary to update your boostack and modem. That files

can be found under the download section.

Does this rom support modifications?

No, because I don't know how every modification out there exact works which can cause

problems with debuging and overall stability.

Does this rom support custom kernels?

No, because this falls under the same section as modifications, but every kernel that is based

on the source of the stock kernel of this rom, should work fine.

Will you add feature or app XYZ?

No, our team decides democratically and we only want unique or necessary features

without overloading the rom. Also should the rom work the same no matter which device

it's used on.

Why isn't everything working flawlessly?

Remember, this is a Beta build for testing purposes. Also are this build based on old

N proprietary blobs and since ZTE didn't release any new for now it's impossible to fix

certain issues.

When will a new build drop?

When I think it's alright. I don't want to release untested work.

Downloading. Thank you very much for your work.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Gases:
The flash fails. It says that my device isn't an Axon 7, it shows the device name as "."
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] WesTD:
Flash universal bootloader
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Cablespider:
I installed it as soon as it hit AFH. Flashed bootloader and modem. No problems with install other than a corrupt sd notice. Working on that. Data/Wifi/Bluetooth operational. The camera doesn't fc but is very dark and takes dark images. Known issue, so let's move on. Substratum works. Mono looks sweet on 8.1. The big cluster doesn't seem to be downclocking on Interactive. Switching to Conservative solves that. Too early to tell much else. Gratz on a solid first release!

Edit: I backed up my SD card, formatted it and copied everything back. It's working fine. I've had this problem with a few other Oreo builds. Not sure why Oreo sees it as corrupted initially.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] kenet:
you installed the B32 bootloader.

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=962157660013068930

t started off well for me.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Gases:
I tried flashing the universal bootloader provided in the OP. It still shows the same error.

---------- Post added at 08:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 PM ----------

Just tried that one as well, no difference.

I'm flashing that first, then the A2017U B32 modem provided in the OP, and then flashing the ROM. It shows error 7, and it says that my device name isn't correct.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] kenet:
Surely you downloaded corrupted the zip.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] reV17:
No mine sis the same to. Left my device name as blank lol. Had to manually remove the trust zone. Try redownloading it or go in and change it to blank like i did
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Gases:
I honestly don't think so. I just re-downloaded everything, flashed everything and got the exact same error. What can I do?

---------- Post added at 08:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:42 PM ----------

How can I do that? I've tried doing it, but I get an error saying the ZIP file is in an incorrect format.

I'm sorry for asking so much, I'm a complete noob and I can't find information on this :(
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] reV17:
can you confirm, what version of TWRP are you using? Try using the latest. That fixed my problem. Still had the N1 version installed
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Gases:
I'm using version 3.1.1-0. I just tried removing the assert and got error 6 while trying to flash.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] reV17:
Flash the latest TWRP 3.2.1-0 using TWRP and then flash the unmodified zips
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Cablespider:
3.1.1-0 is janky. I had problems with Oreo and that version. 3.2.1-0 seems solid.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Gases:
Would you look at that... Updating TWRP solved it! Thanks, guys! [MENTION=4676535]Cablespider[/MENTION] [MENTION=5114077]reV17[/MENTION]

Can I root this ROM? Or is Magisk incompatible with Oreo?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Cablespider:
Magisk 15.1 is running fine.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] OrdenKrieger:
Update your TWRP. Forgot to mention that.

Started getting a strange bug.... my battery was at 81% and then I rebooted my phone to TWRP. It said it was at 80, and then booted into Android. Then Android said I have 65% battery? I plugged it in to charge to 71% and rebooted to TWRP again. Now TWRP said it was at 88%. Booted into Android once again and said it was at 91! Back to TWRP and said it was at 88%. Back to Android, said it's at 90%. Very weird!

Edit: now the battery instantly dropped to 88% and seems to be normal maybe
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] laci200270:
First of all:

Thanks for your amazing work.

Secondly the system sometimes just freezes and nothing can recover it only the ten second power button trick.It mostly happens in chrome and more often If I have a substratum overlay
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Cablespider:
OrdenKrieger already acknowledged a battery stat problem and is trying to remedy it. We'll continue testing once a new build drops.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] le011:
no root ??

hello there

except of the charging problem the rom works great for me.

but there is no root option to this rom yet?

ty
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] smakdonw:
Just install magisk to get root.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] canezila:
Hope I didn't miss this being reported.

When using the dialer in call, pressing any digit fails to be recognized by the automative phone service.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Teet1:
Oh yeah I know. But I think battery stats is referred to the actual statistics in the battery page isn't it? I haven't had battery stats issues at all before that
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] chrisrodsa210:
Try messing with the absolute volume dealio in developer settings
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] OrdenKrieger:
Next build will be based on the actual O CAF display and media HAL. We where using AOSP before with the graphic stack from the Pixel XL. Also is the kernel updated to the actual O CAF upstream kernel. The sublevel is now 71 instead of 31. As I said some post before, the charging issue seem also to be fixed. Also will the next build include an updated O power HAL. We where using the N one before. Night mode is also added to not hurt your eyes if it's dark. And last but not least the camera did get some stability fixes. I'm doing some testing now and if everything goes well expect a new build in the next days.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Gases:
Could you (or anyone) maybe explain it in simpler words for us mortals? Lol

What will be different from the user's side?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] OrdenKrieger:
AOSP not so good. CAF or Code Aurora Forum better because it's optimized for our platform. The rest should be self explaining. ;)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] awsomjgp:
I've noticed that any camera app other than snap cam takes decent pictures. Haven't tried stock cam, but Moto camera works and takes decent pictures. Snapchat also.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] vadsvads:
Seems like everything is working fine (also had no reboots until now, unlike with Resurrection Remix), only if I open the QR code scanner for WhatsApp Web on my phone, it doesn't activate the camera - the red line that's "scanning" the picture just stutters and nothing happens until i close the app
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] OrdenKrieger:
Fixed in next build.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] vadsvads:
Wow, that was quick! You rock :D Is there any way I can support you or donate a little? I didn't find any info in the OP :)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] OrdenKrieger:
Thanks, there is yellow donate button under my picture of every post. ;)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] WesTD:
Sliding is not smooth on me. Same on everyone or just me?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] nfsmw_gr:
Aside from the fact this rom is on a BETA stage, have you let it settle for a couple of days?

Any mysterious app running in the background maybe?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] lndiana:
... excuse me sir(lol) - where is the link to the 2018 - 01-03 Update
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] KevinX8:
Um where exactly did you get this information from? He said once he has done testing, he doesn't want to be labeled one of those devs just release broken builds to get thanks
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] :
I think he means the Date at the Bottom of the OT. This Date means when the Thread was updated, not the Builds.

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] gecko702:
is your battery mod capable to run in this build? just wondering
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] nfsmw_gr:
I don't see a reason why not?

My mod can't do any damage to any rom, it just won't work worst case scenario.

Go ahead and try really. :)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Teet1:
I tried it and it doesn't work :( the values don't change for me
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] gecko702:
ill test later at work where i usuall dont use it as much and see the idle times ^^
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] nfsmw_gr:
Let's continue this on the other thread so we don't clutter this one. :)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] gecko702:
moving on then what about the latest security patch will it be implemented in the next build?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] jawz101:
[MENTION=5027381]OrdenKrieger[/MENTION] [MENTION=4911249]Unjustified Dev[/MENTION] Do we think an unofficial LineageOS 15.1 might come before April? Just wondering how many full wipes are in my near future.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] joaste:
So was holding back from installing this and then, well you know the rest :)

Boots fast, fingerprint scanner does indeed seem to work faster. Camera (both front and back) works fine.

However, there is the same issue for me as on some other AOSP/LOS based ROMS (not all), that is that if the Touch Sounds is disabled in the sound settings, then the speaker phone on calls no longer works. Re-enabling Touch Sounds allows to use the speakers while on a call again.

As for the DAC, it is not yet used apparently, or not as it could be (confirmed using Neutron with 24bit/192khz file and checking through 'dumpsys media.audio_flinger' - everything plays at 48khz).

Great job! Once the DAC is used, I think I'll make the final switch to Oreo ;)

EDIT: the existing AKM4490 patch for Nougat does not work on this ROM, which I guess is no surprise.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] gecko702:
yeah it dosent work we should wait for an update for the DAC patch
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] vadsvads:
So far, the ROM works great for me - buttery smooth, no crashes, definitely has better off-screen battery life than RR/LOS 14 by far - I'm still getting only about 2 hours of sot though. I guess I fried my battery or something ._.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] joaste:
By the way, the above mentioned bug does not happen on e.g. AICP (although nougat, maybe this can help getting it fixed here)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] WesTD:
my English is not perfect. did I understand right? if we don't disable touch sound, no call bug on all rom?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] joaste:
No. There are two different bugs:

1) On a call, the mic does not work until you turn on, then off the speakerphone - I only had this once when on stock when I first got the phone a long time ago. I have never had it since, on any ROM. This bug is not linked (to my knowledge at least) to the following bug;

2) On some LOS/AOSP based ROMS, while on a call, the speakerphone will not work for hands-free calling, when Touch Sounds is disabled. Not all ROMS have this bug (AICP does not for example).

Hope this clarifies.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] therock11:
Do you also have an issue with adjusting in call volumes. I've wiped several times fully now and installed without gapps and still my Bluetooth is barely loud enough to hear and my phone ear piece doesn't change volume even though the slider shows it should be.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] joaste:
Yes. I believe this has already been reported a few times in this thread. In call volume can not be changed (I also tested with a clean flash, with/without gapps, with/without hellsgate oreo kernel).

I have not yet tried bluetooth. Will do so later in my car.

In addition, the speakerphone bug I mentioned ealier has an additional twist (would be good if someone could confirm this): even with Touch Sounds enabled, the speakerphone will work for a few seconds, then will cut out. However, if I touch any button on the dialer (e.g. number pad button), then the sound comes back again for a few seconds, before cutting out again. This can be repeated over an over again.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] therock11:
I've confirmed that the speakerphone behavior you are speaking about is true. I have the same experience with it.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] awsomjgp:
Can't get to Google assistant or split screen currently. They respond to holding as a single press.

Edit: you can add it back with button mapper.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] kingracer:
I've had split screen working almost fine... But I've reverted to rr for now
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] awsomjgp:
You can still go into the recents page and drag the app up to the top.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] kingracer:
Yup, I've done it exactly that way
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] ShiverStorm:
Is there wifi calling on this rom? I'm itching so bad for oreo because of substratum.. But wifi calling is kind of important because I don't have reception at my house xD ty for the awesome work btw! I've been following this thread for a couple days and everyone says it's great! There aren't many roms for the axon 7.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] reV17:
Unfortunately not, I've looked for the option but it's not there. Running TMobile fyi
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] OrdenKrieger:
So which other rom does support wifi calling?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] hiperglyde:
Go to settings\data usage\hit the 3 dots top right\mobile networks\advanced you will see wifi calling there
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] reV17:
Nope not here
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Teet1:
There is a magisk module that activates the option, but I don't think it is working. I have it activated and hear no difference in calls.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] OrdenKrieger:
Yea that actually happens if the carrier tells your phone that they support wifi calling and unlocks that in your settings. If not maybe your carrier is doing wrong things or they just don't support wifi calling. Wifi calling can also be restricted to selected phones by the carrier. There is actually a magisk module which force overwrites this prop and enables wifi calling even if your carrier doesn't want it for this phone or if they even doesn't support it. If you want you can test it https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/module-v4-volte-enabler-t3649613/page1 and report here back if it did work for you. Maybe this change get it then also in my next release if it did work. ;)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] reV17:
The post says it doesn't work though. It's alright. I know my network has WiFi calling as it worked on stock.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] OrdenKrieger:
So test if it does work with the magisk module I linked. ;)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Teet1:
My carrier does support it, it is Tmobile. I wonder if this is a different module, we'll see if it works
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Diceroll:
I tested with Verizon and was not able to even get a call to go through. It would beep once and then end call.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] chrisrodsa210:
Tested it with Metro PCS, a T-Mobile mvno and calls went through. But no real indication if it's using WiFi calling or just the mobile network. Tested on B32 stock and always worked, so I know my network supports it.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] BaamAlex:
Is the Rom dailydriver-ready? Or wait for an update? Im not sure. The Rom looks nice but, im not sure.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Aviver:
I use it as daily driver, everything feels great and very smooth. Really like this ROM
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] olus:
wait, like me, one or two days, there will be an update with lots of fixes.

but i think its already a daily driver..
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] joaste:
If you don't need to use the DAC for music and you don't use the speakerphone for hands-free calling, then it is ok.

I tried a skype call and it was unusable.

I'm sure a lot will indeed be sorted out in the next few releases.

Please don't forget that this is still a real beta. :good:
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Cablespider:
I've been using it daily since release. None of the bugs are show stoppers for me. It's certainly not a buggy mess. Fluid and stable for an initial beta. I'm looking forward to the rebase.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] canezila:
I am on Verizon. It works well for me. Somehow, the speaker toggle became unnecessary and it works without the toggle. And calls work.

I will certainly not go back to 7.x. This ROM is a keeper for me.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] chrisrodsa210:
To be honest, this rom doesn't really seem beta at all, except speaker phone and not veing able to use Google assistant, everything else is working without a hitch. Calls, GPS navigation, the camera(was also able to deposit my check in the Wells Fargo app using the camera) stereo sound(using v4a) texting, Duo video calls, Bluetooth, it's all working. I haven't had a solid reason to go back to my previous Rom. And I don't understand how the battery life has improved on this rom compared to the Nougat ones but I'm getting at least 45 mins more screen on time and way better stand by time.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Teet1:
I agree aside from those bugs this room is really stable and fluid and excellent. I have outstanding battery life. Before I had an awful problem where I couldn't even get over 4 hours of screen on time. But now I can get over 6 hours!! Nearly double and has not changed since

I do have one issue where my kernel settings don't stick. I flashed the new hellsgate kernel and after a reboot the settings I changed doesn't stay. Though I don't know if it's a problem with the ROM,kernel,or ExKernel manager. I haven't had the chance to mess with it but everything is well for me. It's my daily driver and no way I'm ever going back
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] TPMJB:
Anyone use Resurrection Remix before this rom wanna comment on how this rom looks/feels? Battery life alright? Anyone use a custom kernel to extend battery life?

Very interested right now
