[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] IvI97:
gonna try, internet is a bit buggy didn't get my answer shown

edit: same result, would it be possible to flash the edl package and flash your version over it somehow?

edit2: yeah did everything in order and startet with 3.1.2-5, the tricky thing is, i didn't got any of your mifavor 5.x based roms for the axon 7 to work at all, the nougat slim roms work perfectly fine but a few restarts here and then. i'm starting to think my device got a problem with some bootstacks in general its not just your roms, also many others where the bootstacks leave me instant softbricked with only edl mode when trying to boot to twrp, the roms sometimes work sometimes not
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
No ;)

Do the procedure all over again. Do a full wipe.

When you reboot into twrp, are you on twrp 3.2.1.6 now ? You should ...

I guess you missed something somehow.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] satish.yarramsetti:
Install google framework from magisk ao that can install google dailer officially from play store :)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] IvI97:
yep i'm on 3.2.1.6 after, bootstack here seems to work, i almost always do full wipes at the beginnig, gonna try a few more times and reply if anything changes

edit: thanks for the answers anyways didn't get any on the other posts since they were really busy so is took the opportunity on this one again
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
Yeah i dont see any other option then that. But as you said, you didn't manage to install quite some other roms before this, so i'm thinking there is a small problem on your phone. Where did you bought the phone (region)? Sure you have a G ?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] IvI97:
bought it from amazon from germany, pretty sure i tried bootstacks for other versions too they wouldn't boot up the roms that work on the device. i really can't think of missing something else.

edit: i've got an idea, i tried this when i got the phone with a twrp system&boot backup of the chinese 5.0 from this time i found on youtube, found the same as flashable rom here that didn't work but the backup with bootstack worked. since it doesn't seem to be a bootstack problem since 3.2.1.6 works after the flash, maybe it'll work this way? could someone do me the favor to upload one?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] wineds:
I thought it was necessary to give the power button an extra short press once you get the penguin but maybe this bootstack is a bit different. In any case try giving the power button a few extra short presses once you get the penguin. And then give it a few minutes... Then you should get boot animation.

bugs:

When you connect the charger as it is not detected fast or connects and disconnects even if it is properly connected.

that does not support fast loading ... or does it? Because it takes a long time to load, the system does not say anything about whether it is loaded but the ray appears.

the microsd are detected by TWRP but in the system they appear as damaged even if they are perfect, they only work formatting them as internal storage ...

See post #1
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
Thnx for your feedback.

1. quickcharging does work. I'm charging mine this morning as of now : from 3 to 50% in 1/2h. You're correct though that it isn't displayed. Will put that in OP.

2. Did you format extSD as Fat ? I did and phone does see the card.

3. calls are working fine as long as you flash your proper modem

But what phone version do you have ?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Predatorhaze:

a:Wipe system/data/cache/dalvik

b:flash twrp 3.2.1.6

c:reboot recovery

e:flash modem

f:flash rom

g:flash magisk 15.3

DONE.When get 3 blinking leds just reboot again

---------- Post added at 07:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:37 AM ----------

BTW,is the sound bug gone? On other version from stock Oreo,when listening to music with volume on step 10,sometimes it suddenly go to max volume for less than a second....Really dangerous.Watch out for this,it happened to me when i was listening music with earpieces!!! It can damage ur ears for the rest of ur life....anyone have tested this?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
Thnx !

Install steps are on OP. Important to follow these. It's working like it is and may be confusing for other members. But thnx for the input :good:

No sound bug for me in days. Did listen to a 1.5h doc on youtube yesterday and no issues at all.

Didn't test it enough though on earpieces. Will do. Perhaps other users can feedback on this.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Predatorhaze:
watch out if you gonna use it with earpieces,i remember it mostly occured when using earpieces.if you gonna test , do it with the pieces not in your ears :o
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
Thnx for the advice.

Can you test that out for us ? Would be appreciated.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Predatorhaze:
i will ;)

can we use data as f2fs or only ext4?And what is changed in the new jojoc module?dont need init.d linker?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Predatorhaze:
OK jojoc and magisk works.But the audio bug is still here,suddenly it stops playing music and after 1-2 seconds it plays music again but with highest volume less than a second,it's like a 'boomM' for less than a second, It's the same on custom oreo rom. It looks like it happen random and it happend 1 time in 1 hour.But the audio quality overall is just madness,phone speakers are shaking.

Edit: I think it has something with receiving notifications or with some apps when listening to music/movie
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
Thnx for the feedback !

First of all i want to point out the audio quality on speakers is great ! Imo even better then on stock B09 f.e.

Btw, add some sound volume steps with my volume steps enabler

Nevertheless, i will test the bug on earpieces as i had notifications enough when listening to music over speakers and never had a boom bug.

When receiving a notification and listining to audio, the volume drops for a moment. But that's normal on other stocks too. But perhaps it increases too much when on earpieces...

So, today i'm gonna test a while with earpieces and setup some trigger notifications myself. Report back.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Predatorhaze:
And again it happened just random when listen trough phone speakers.Music stops for 2 seconds and then starts with a les than a second boom. No notifications.

BTW I don't really need the volume steps enabler for now
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
Testing too. As for now no bug on speakers nor earpieces :confused:
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
take EXT4

The jojoc module can be installed directly via magisk. So no mess with init.d anymore. Everything runs smooth wih the new module v2.1
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Predatorhaze:
Weird. Also I'm facing systemUI force stops when connecting YouTube to a smartTV, I need to force system restart because the screen goes black

I forgot to say, I'm using Spotify for listening music
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
For those who want to use the "Lock Now", which wasn't on this V3.0.0B01, i made a twrp zip out of our G.

Just download A2017X-add-LockNow

Flash through recovery

Reboot

Done !

Note : tested on G
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] megawayne:
Mine is the U. It is quick charging but requires the occasional reboot to charge. It will not charge unless you turn off screen. My calls are fine as is my internal card. I wanted to communicate the charging for the group and don't mean to sound like a complaint. The original rom has the flawed charging too. Thanks again for all your work.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] TheDarkKnightSM:
Yes, Install the modem, the phone has signal, even takes the 4g data but the calls are not heard or listen to me but nothing

My version Is U

Yes, Install the modem, the phone has signal, even takes the 4g data but the calls are not heard or listen to me but nothing. Y Test with B35 AND b32 módem AND the calls no work
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Predatorhaze:
the audio bug even comes when the volume steps are on 0....just a boom with volume off.I think the oreo system got many bugs
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
Many bugs? I've the ones from OP like other users do. Not even the sd issue. So, Can you share with us your total list of bugs. So we can all look at them. When saying many, you mean 1, 2 or a dozen? Even on pure stock rom, for some that certain rom may work flawless as for others it isn't.

Btw, i would not even consider uploading it when it was full of bugs. There are known issues, agreed. As of now I'm on this rom. Haven't any at the moment...

So we would very much appreciate your list ;)

Thnx!

Btw, i read some of your posts on other threads ...my guess is you have,

imo

, a major issue with something relating to sound, on your phone itself.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
That's what we call a descent feedback. An issue reported with important info to share ;)

Thnx:good:

The charging issue is not known for all users. But it can affect some users. F.e. mine on G is always charging, screen off or on. So for me no influence.

Nothing more we can do about it i'm afraid.

Btw, you extSD is formatted as FAT ?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
Like mentioned in OP, format as FAT (or exFAT). It's a known issue like on PNW.

You're certain you have flashed the modded U modem ? Can you tap your speakerphone on and off when making a call. And see what happens.

Try wiping cache/dalvik in recovery too.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Predatorhaze:
i dont have any problems with charging with screen off or on,and in the op it already stated the charging problem.But not the problems with audio,and the problems are there.Maybe its due the apps thats not oreo supported.Also wifi signal drops random.

So why is the charging problem on U positive feedback?it was already known

Anyway you did a nice job,but im not gonna report again.Still the same XDA forum as it was
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
Thnx and you may report back, no problem with that. You know that.

But saying this rom has "many bugs" is not true. Imo, You "scare" people with misinformation and i think you can understand that.

The roms we provide are made with a lot of care and with much much of our own spare time you know :eek:

So degrading this one as full or having many bugs is not telling the truth.

Therefore i asked you a list of those bugs...

The other user explained his charging bug very thouroughly. With detailed info. Also explaining quick charging is fine, talking about his calls and so on. So in fact listing all known bugs that are there for the moment. So in fact, some bugs but not many.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] nihalani:
External SD Card is always corrupted unless I use it as internal storage. Is this a common problem?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] kanej2006:
@ raystef66, not sure if I'm ready to upgrade to Nougat just yet, perhaps in the next release, 100% bug free one. :)

Also it was a pain in the ass to get Viper4Arise working as many of us know!! Plus I spent ages setting it up.

However, was just curious if it's possible to use the mixer_paths from Oreo on Nougat? You mentioned that sound quality has improved on Oreo so was wondering if it would work on Nougat? If so that would be amazing. If I can get even better sound quality then why not!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
Know issue for some, not all. What's the format ? I've no problem on FAT. Perhaps try format to FAT (backup first !) or just continue on with the internal mode.

I could look into mixerpaths or perhaps sent you. You make a backup of your existing and try out. But not sure that will work. Anyway worth a try. You'll loose nothing.

And yes, comparing sound of speakers pure on experience imo is better (not on call which is the +-same). Louder but also better detailed. When i now compare same vids like on youtube, i must confess that there is more surround then before. The lightest ticks and sounds are hearable and morespread left and right then before.

So let me know if you can use the file ;)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] KwesiJnr:
Okay, I'm on the U version and was facing the same problems others were facing until now. Here's how I got it to work:

1. Optional: Backed up TWRP and media to PC

2. Formatted SD card and changed file system to f2fs explicitly. Make sure Mount System as read-only is checked.

3. Flashed

i. TWRP_3.2.1-5_ailsa_ii.img over the current TWRP v3.2.1-0 installation and rebooted into recovery again.​

ii. A2017X_V3.0.0B01_O_SL!M.zip​

iii. ZTE_A2017U_MODDED_MODEM_FOR_OREO_A2017V3.0.0B01-2_TURKDEVS.zip​

4. Reboot.

That's it. I didn't have to press the power button to get the penguin. Everything worked right off the bat.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
Ok thnx for your input :good:

Couple of questions :

1. you do see the 5 and 30 sec screen on boot, right ? because that would be the same boot as on my phone. The red light normaly is gone as you have already flashed the rom before. It's only on initial flash that you have the red lights.

2. you skipped the flash of 3.2.1.5 ? But instead flashed bootstack and rebooted into 3.2.1.6 ?

3. you can see your extSD ok now in file manager (as on my phone) ?

4. all sound ok for you (as on mine btw)

5. quickcharging and view ok (as on mine) ?

Just asking these questions as it is for U version.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] KwesiJnr:
1. I only see the 5 second boot screen with large text. The 30-second one doesn't appear.

2. Sorry, I flashed 3.2.1.5 instead and went straight to flashing the bootstack. Will edit that post accordingly.

3. My extSD card is shown and I'm able to access it, but for some reason, I Titanium Backup force closes when I want to set the backup folder location to external SD card, That's where I keep my backups.

4. So far, so good. I tested calls and media.

5. Like others have mentioned, the phone doesn't charge when the screen is on. I'm using the cable in my laptop, because I don't have the adapter with me at the moment. Once the screen is turned off, it charges just fine.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
Thnx for the feedback !

1. on my G i have both 5 and 30. Not that that's a great issue but only having the 5 sec is better. Perhaps its U version related. But will test that too.

2. ok

3. can you test with format FAT i you want and see how that reacts with TB ?

4. ok

5. i read that even when the screen is on and the lightning symbol isn't shown, it IS in fact charging too. Could that be right ? If not, then this is a difference between U and G (as on G i havent heard that imo)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] KwesiJnr:
Formatted as FAT and the result remains the same. TB force-closes. I'm using Internal Storage for now. Thanks for your work. :)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] wineds:
Did you use the Axon 7 to format it?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] KwesiJnr:
Yeah, at first I used the default formatter in the Storage settings, which didn't work. I tried again with TWRP, no dice. I got this problem on another Chinese ROM long ago, but I can't remember which.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] wineds:
Ok I can't confirm yet that internal sd card formatting works with this version. But you need to get it formatted as fat32. Maybe try doing it on a PC with this ;

Thanks. brother.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
Here you go : https://www.sendspace.com/file/icjgra

These are the mixer_paths from V3.0.0B01 located in system/vendor/etc/

On N you've got to copy them to system/etc/ , so not sure though if all will be ok after reboot. But you can try, nothing lost there :cyclops:

Do make a backup first ;)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] kanej2006:
Sound is working, however, with voice calls there is no sound.

After trying a few voice calls it's mute. Even after replacing the mixer_paths with the original there is still no audio when making phone calls. Strange as the only file I replaced was the mixer_paths.

I did backup the original and even after replacing it still there is no sound. Any ideas?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
Did you check the permissions ? You could wipe dalvik/cache in twrp.

Normally there shouldn't be much mixed up.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] kanej2006:
I will try wiping cache/partition shortly. However, as for the permissions, what should they be? RW-RR?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
When permissions are not set you wont get any luck.

They have to be rw-r-r or 644 :good:
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] kanej2006:
Your right. I replaced the new mixer_paths with the one I backed up. Changed permissions to 0644 and rebooted. Microphone working again. Thank you very much for the guide. :good:
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] maKv:
I just flash this rom as your instruction on my A2017G.

So far so good, found minor problems,

-no shutdown charging.

-slow finding sim signal when power on.

-no App Clone Function as all Chinese Roms ( my favorite fuction actually).

-Good to have Call Recorder in this rom.

It is good rom.

Thank you very much for your efforts.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Predatorhaze:
so does the mixer_path from oreo,works on nougat rom with permissions applied??
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
Thnx!

Finding sim radio does indeed last a bit longer then on N, some seconds i guess.

For the app clone function, which one do you refer to ? Perhaps i got rid of that and i can upload it.

The build-in call recording is definitive a pro for me as i use it frequently.

We should ask [MENTION=897781]kanej2006[/MENTION].

Imo, a slight chance it would work though. But if you want an improvement you can try, if not already, these ones. They DO work :good: thnx [MENTION=8175513]senny22[/MENTION]

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] kanej2006:
The sound from Oreo does indeed work with Nougat, however, there is no sound when making phone calls, this is the only issue!. Aside from this, the sound is working fine in every other regard. It seems the mixer_paths has to be modified in order for the mic/speaker to work when making and receiving phone calls...

Stated above. Sound is working but not with phone calls, no audio at all unfortunately. The mixer_paths must be edited/modified to work with phone calls and utilise the mic. Seems this is another major change hence why it is not working.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
Mmm, interesting. That's why we need to flash the modded modem...

Perhaps when i compare them to the nougat one maybe i can find the cause why the V3B01 by default didn't have phone call audio...

There is no modem included. You can try and see if you have radio after boot but i'll doubt.

After flashing 3.2.1.0 and rebooting directly into recovery i flashed the 3.2.1.5 and now my recovery is gone :D Just a black screen. Booting into the rom works and i tried to flash the recovery again over the TWRP-app but its not coming back so far. Didnt tried to flash it again in fastboot-mode. Any ideas what went wrong?

okey guys, I made a really stupid mistake...

I followed raystef66's flashing procedure but flashed the files using Twrp3.2.1.6 instead of Twrp3.2.1.5 by mistake.

Then I tried to install Twrp3.2.1.5 from the Twrp3.2.1.0 recovery and broke it.

Now I'm unable to get into recovery or fastboot to flash anything or boot the rom, I'm stuck in the old "5-seconds-menue", only able to boot into EDL :(

Any ideas how to fix this quick, without having to flash the whole stock firmware over EDL? :confused:
