No I haven't seen that in more than a month of use. Maybe do a full backup then a full wipe and see if problem still exits?

coming from LOS 14.1

Hi,

I have read the 10 pages of this thread and first thank you, your ROM looks great :)

my 2 cents about the "boom" volume effect (mentioned by [MENTION=7288053]Predatorhaze[/MENTION]): I face it also under my current ROM (LOS 14.1, Nougat 7.1.2 based) with Spotify : it happens when I jump at a new position inside a track (clicking in the progress bar, for example in the middle of a track). It's very distasteful and yes probably dangerous for the ears :mad:

So today I'm under LineageOS 14.1 (Nougat 712) / Magisk on a 2017G model.

Do you know if your (very detailed) procedure is applicable too, coming from LOS ?

thanks,

David
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
Thnx David !

You can apply all these steps as mentioned in OP. No problem with that.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Predatorhaze:
I didnt know it happen on nougat,nougat is stable.For me it only happens on oreo and since Im using oreo,Im not using earpieces :p

Im on Xenonhd Oreo now,and it works better than AEX or RR..but almost no feautures

I recommend not use this stock oreo rom
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
A bit confused here :confused:

No offence, but you say you'd not recommend this rom because of the "boom" effect you encountered. I'm aware that you had this problem. Not many others imo complaining about this. But ok...it's a problem in your case.

BUT then again you're on Xenon....with no use of earpieces AND not that of plenty features....as a stock rom....so, why won't you recommend it then in the first place ?

Can you explain a bit more pls ? Because, as i can jugde, you still have the same effect on sound, a bit better though, but with no features at all.

I agree everyone can use what he like. But not recommend it on base of the above is a bit strange imo...

As for the other user, let him try and jugde. Perhaps his "boom" effect is gone. You'll never know, right ? ;)

So I wiped and reinstalled to try and get rid of the system UI crashes. All seems well on that front. Though now I'm having issues charging. On the U nougat stock I could head to work and my phone would charge while driving. Now it says its charging but I get to work with 70% remaining. My screen time is also only around 4 hours at best.

Hi.

Can someone check if "ok google" is working ? I can't enable it on a a2017G with that rom. Need to know before trying a full wipe.

Thx

By the way : Except for the ok google thing and the fast charge not showing, everything is working great as far as i've tested. Dual sim works fine (a little low to connect at boot).

Oh, and TrinusVR not working
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] therock11:
Ok Google works fine. Make sure you have the Google app updated.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Sn8K:
already checked.

But i think there's something else .. I've tried some other things that acts weird ;

- Configuring an android Wear is impossible. At the notifications setting point of the setup, i have a blank little window that appear instead of notifications section of the settings.

- Running TrinusVr or AAAvr , when tryng to configure the headset (by clicking on the gear icon) leads to an "open with... window" with no available choices at all, no icons.

* More to come

It must be missing a dependency. I've also tried to flash openGapps 8.0 ARM64 micro and mini via twrp (3.2.1.6), but they all give a bootloop.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] therock11:

chinese version

Hi there,

I have an Axon 7 A2017 Chinese version (ROM 125gb RAM 4gb).

I'm currently using the AOKP Official on it.

However, I've recently heard that the Chinese version has supposedly received the Official release of Oreo Stock from ZTE (Stable not beta). (sorry I haven't been following in the last months)

Is that ROM based on the beta or Chinese stable? Also, it specifies A2017G/U. Is it compatible with the A2017 China version?

I'm only interested in upgrading if that is the stable version. This phone is my main driver.

Thank you in advance
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
It's based on beta release (https://xdaforums.com/axon-7/development/anroid-8-official-mifavaor-ui-5-2-beta-t3707605)

This one can be rooted. In the meantime you had the V3.0B07,09 and B10. None of them could be rooted without loosing Dolby and other FC's.

But you always can flash the V3.0B10 EDL package which you can find here (without root though) : https://xdaforums.com/axon-7/development/edl-package-edl-package-t3754862

"Chinese modem" is included.

It's working fine as i tested it myself. But it's up to you to test that out ;)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] d4v3N0Tan0n:
So, just to be certain. V3.0B10 is the latest Chinese stable oreo version, right?. However, there is no known working way to have root permission on it, is that so?

P.s I actually don't care about dolby, what I care about is magisk and xposed.

Thank you

upgrade from LOS succeed

Hi,

I did my upgrade from LOS.

It's great, it's smooth ! thanks !

just a little question please [MENTION=5334294]raystef66[/MENTION] : when you state "17.	Uncheck auto update into Playstore !" : do you mean the parameter for all apps in play store settings ? if yes, what is the point about futur update ? or is it to avoid some specific apps only ? the play store itself ?

About magisk, I succeed to update magisk manager but, when trying (I confess ;) ) to update magisk v16 by "direct" method. it open the "command" screen; then said succeed... and ask to restart. But it's still in V15.3 at the end. Do you recommend to try by flashing under twrp rather ? or not at all ? ;)

Not a big deal but I might facing also the charge issue but i's still not clear. I m currently suspecting the power controller (the one slowing down in purpose the charge when reaching >95% usually to avoid battery failure or more !). Because @80%+ I put a fast charger, it stops the charge completely (even the battery decreases); but in the same time if I plug power from PC (only ~500mA) , it works!

It works also, earlier in my car, with fast charger when I was ~64%.

I will still investigate to make a clear report

many thanks for your work again

David
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
Thnx David!

The uncheck auto update is ment to avoid iYtb to update to the 'normal' version. You can update other apps manually like I do most of the time. But that's up to you.

For magisk i encountered that issue too once updating from 15.3 to 16 within manager itself. When flashing it within twrp solves the issue.

But i like v15.3 more than 16 though. It's based on my experience and only that.

I haven't had any charging issues when I was on this rom.

Report back on that. Thnx!

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
Which twrp version are you on? Take the one from OP 3.2.1.6

Format Data to EXT4 should have done the trick.

Redo that in twrp 3216 and see if you've got your free space again. If not do take another format and after that EXT4 again. Reboot and check storage. Also reboot twrp again to see whether it holds...
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Eagledig:

Then press both vol up and down at the same time and connect your USB. Your phone will boot into edl.

Put your twrp 3216 into the flash /recovery folder of the edl tool. (don't forget to rename to recovery.img) and flash it. Reboot into recovery. And proceed.

hi [MENTION=5334294]raystef66[/MENTION]

thank you again for your great ROM. Just to report for others (not complaining ;) ) : on my side , battery consumption is quite close to Nougat (maybe a bit more greedy when screen is ON, even not very active (>24%/h average, means only 4h+ autonomy) and very good when off (0.8%/h, even w/o the power energy mode).

About the issue mentioned sometimes about device that couldn't charge : I m facing this issue very very rarely, always when the device is very busy (ex first time when restoring 200 app !) and around 80% of charge !? strange. Most of the time it's fine.

Last, one evening, using Netflix + Cast with chromecast, I had the UI from ZTE (app "l'interface") which crashed 2 times; even after reboot (+netflix+cats again). But then ok

overall I find your ROM great, very smooth. Dolby Atmos Rocks ! :)

Because I miss my headset, I m thinking to try "AospExtended ROM V5.3 "(8.1) coming from your ROM.

Do you know if I would need to revert to Nougat first ? or if I could just go with twrp 3.1.2.7 + their bootstack / U modem & roms

thanks,

David
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
Hi, thnx again David !

Yeah i saw your post, as i follow AEX too ;) , on my sl!m rom. No worries at all mate to change roms from time to time and compare :good:

I tested this chinese V3B01 for some time and as for me the SL!M4 ( B09 stock 7.1.1. G version) stays my favorite as it comes to sound, calls, signal strenght, smoothness, interaction and battery performance. But that's just my opinion. The new B10, imo, is slower then B09. No clue thusfar why.

Anyway, you can flash the AEX with the above files you mentioned. First take a backup when performing the flash so you can always revert back ;)

Good Luck !

Btw, I did step 2 as you described, it's supposed to prevent intSD encrypted I think but it didn't work

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
Going to 3210 again is to be able to "see" your backup again that you (should) have made on your extSD.

Anyway try to wipe/advanced/wipe/choose data/change filesystem to EXT4 or take another format and try again, after that take ext4 again.

If that doesn't work you can always EDL your stock rom, flash twrp3.2.1.0 (or the one that you used to make your backup) and restore your backup again.

Finally got this working on a2017u. I flashed straight through with 3.1.1 (by mistake) and it finally booted with decryption error reset. I formatted data in the then updated 3.2.16 Twrp and profit! I tried and had to keep starting over for the last few days to use an oreo rom, edls, asops, or this no success. This time I used tool to go back to stock b19 then did factory updates till at b35. Then I used tool to add twrp hence 3.1.1. I flashed decrypt script and Magisk because I felt my drive encryption was always the issue, but after flashing it was back but booted. I probably jacked up something by formatting... I'll tackle that if I have to change roms, for now profit! ROM running smoothly and as it should. I want a couple of ZTE apps that are left out like Music and browser, but everything else working.

Also check apps/advanced/assistant...
