[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] kountry83:
Just an FYI. The finalized Oreo update to the either A2017U or A2017G was set to have treble support.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] nfsmw_gr:
Nice!

Where did you see that?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] kountry83:
An insider from ZTE. I asked about it and he said it's not finished but a hint he told me was to check the Oreo beta build.prop. Sure enough I checked and it was there set to false. So he was right. Hopefully they finish the finalized Oreo update.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] nfsmw_gr:
Great.

That should provide plenty of help for us that will keep this device!
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Choose an username...:
then how would that work? Asus-like treble? maybe an EDL flashable package? (though that would be extremely unlikely)
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] kountry83:
Yeah I think they would throw in the modified vendor partition on the final release or they might go the Asus route with the integration into the /system partion. Might be able to get alittle more info on that...
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gachmuret:
If you have a ZTE insider contact, then why don't you jist aski him aboit the update if they are still working on it after all what happened? Or doesn't he know that?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] bkores:
That's awesome! I agree with [MENTION=1905846]Gachmuret[/MENTION]. Please ask them if they are still working on the update now that the ban is temporarily lifted.

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] nfsmw_gr:
AFAIK it was previously discussed that ZTE is gonna add treble support on their oreo update, so it was a cool thread to read and get involved but we'll have proper support soon so that's great!
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] rzarectha:
I don't know a lot about the topic but I wonder, if ZTE considers adding Treble, woudn't clues be visible in the Oreo beta?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] nfsmw_gr:
But there are clues.

Treble config was in the build.prop file but disabled if I remember correctly.

Sorry, I can't provide more right now because I'm in a hurry, but if you use the search function the thread should pop right up.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] messi2050:
That treble flag is on every oreo running device and is set to false for unsupported devices..
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] samo_lego:
(sorry if this doesn't make any sense) I am currently running RR 6.1, so what to do when the update cames out? Is it possible to flash it via TWRP?

Thanks.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] rzarectha:
If you are reffering to the official Oreo update, I am fairly sure you will not be able to simply flash it with TWRP.

I would recommend reverting to stock using MiFlash and an EDL package. You will need the B10 if you have the G version, no idea for US.

After you are on stock ROM and recovery, you should be able to update via SD card method. I am assuming that's how the update will be distributed.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gachmuret:
Or simply wait till anyone releases a TWRP or EDL package built from the official update... normally takes a day or two...

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Oki:
Wouldn't be possible to split the system partition instead of userdata? Actually the system partition is way oversized and splitting it in half would be enough.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] djkuz:
Yes, I can do this without problems. if the [MENTION=5492451]NFound[/MENTION] says that it is necessary I will do it.

By the way, [MENTION=5492451]NFound[/MENTION] used the already reduced vendor partition to 800 MB (4GB is too much for the vendor partition)
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Oki:
Well, reducing system to 5GB and adding a 1GB vendor partition using the recovered sectors wouldn't take useful storage space. I think those users using 2 SIMs in a 64GB model would love the idea.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] shpitz461:
Can system be reduced to 3GB? I'm not sure why we need to much space there...

i just checked my AEX install and my system partition is using 1.7GB out of 6GB.

Used DiskInfo: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.kuder.diskinfo

not sure how much stock rom uses in system partition so that we can have a safe amount of space for it.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Oki:
That was my point. The System partition is way too oversized and vendor partition could be taken from system capacity without reducing valuable userdata capacity. That would be awesome, nonetheless it is something that should match the kernel and TWRP so, at the end, it is the ROM developer's decision.

[MENTION=6330152]djkuz[/MENTION] since fdisk is very limited and parted has some problems with ufs scheme, I have been experimenting with JPT tool. It is easy to repartition from TWRP without the need of flashing using EDL and it works pretty well. Nonetheless there is still a problem with the backup GPT. What tool are you using to customize the GPT in the Axon 7?

Thanks
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] djkuz:
I still not found any tools that could work with UFS GPT

I'm using a hex editor. No automation, all manually :eek:
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] messi2050:
Put in your mind that repartitioning system partition will break the os and reflashing os will be required so shrinking userdata partition is the best option
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Aviver:
Any update for this?

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Oki:
Not really, you can repartition system and boot TWRP to continue with the rest of the procedure. System is not needed for booting TWRP.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] messi2050:
But why would you make it more difficult switching roms and reverting back to stock..
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Masterjuggler:
It wouldn't be any more difficult going back to stock. Right now the easiest way is to just EDL. Incidentally, that is also a method of repartitioning. So, I don't really see the problem. I see much more benefit in splitting up the system partition, and really no detriment.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] messi2050:
No using current method to add vendor partition does not require to reflash stock rom or any installed rom again while repartition system will require reflashing of the used rom which mean an extra step to do also you never know how much size system will require on future android builds so it's better to leave system partition as is in my opinion.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Masterjuggler:
Looking at my wording, I can see how I wasn't entirely clear. I meant that since EDL is a method of repartitioning, it is easy to do at the same time as using EDL to go back to stock. Your issue was with an extra step when going back to stock. I'm saying it doesn't even have to be an extra step if you are using EDL to get back to stock anyway.

Not that it has to be done that way, but even if it required a whole extra minute to repartition with a different method, it's not a big deal. You don't keep your data when going to and from stock, you'll be wiping anyway.

I don't see why switching between custom ROMs would be any different than before. As long as they support the new partition scheme, it should just work. Unless I'm not understanding how that would actually work. [MENTION=319057]Oki[/MENTION] can you please fact check me?

Also, I can tell you android is never going to use 6GB. That's just ridiculous. At least not for the life of the Axon 7 anyway. Honestly, treble or not, I'd be perfectly happy to wipe everything and reflash if it meant shrinking system and expanding data by that amount.

My Gear S2 is the Verizon 3G version (R730V) and no update is coming through the Android Gear App yet. I'm using a Verizon MVNO, but I don't know if that would stop it from being accessed.

My current Tizen version is 2.3.2.2.

I think the Gear VR controller functionality could be cool.
[Samsung Gear S2] vicvon:
I have a Verizon as well. No update yet and nothing on their website about it.
[Samsung Gear S2] eric_schol:
I tried it yesterday. It can be useful, but less so if you already have a Gear VR Controller.

The S2 as VR controller is not a device which you can see in the virtual world and use as a laser pointer like the Gear VR Controller. It is more like a wrist replacement of the touchpad on the right side of the Gear VR. So you can use the watch face to swipe, scroll, and tap to select. Besides, you can allocate a function to bezel rotation, like setting the volume.

Here it seems eMMC is dead or half dead...

1 user via PM... we found only Bootloader sboot.bin was "locked"... write protected... so it was not update able.

Maybe here similar problem... Bootloader... as i can see in early stage... around 10 % fails...

Maybe new Bootloader can not be written... so whole FOTA update process will fail...

We can only check with netOdin/Odin update...

If you can go to Service Center... better try..

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] EpicRive:
Hi! A while ago I decided to try out to charge my Mi A1 with the official Nintendo Switch AC adapter (EU plug). In theory, it should've worked just fine, because the adapter supports 5V 1.6A power output (it says so on the adapter itself) alongside with the Switch-specific 15V 2.6A output. So basically it would've just started charging normally.

However every time I plug the Switch charger into my Mi A1 my phone indicates that it's charging for half a second, but then the charging stops and the Switch AC adapter stops working completely until you unplug it from the mains and plug it in again. It happens everytime and I've noticed this behaviour on Android 7 and 8.

I tried charging a USB-C Samsung phone and that worked perfectly fine. However another Xiaomi phone with USB-C also stopped charging after half a second with the Switch adapter having to be unplugged from the mains to start functioning again. What may be wrong? Has anyone experienced this problem with a Nintendo Switch adapter?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] N1ck474:

[Lenovo Zuk Edge Questions & Answers] JulG3:
Hi everybody,

My past Zuk Edge died, so i bought a new one.

Unfortunately, the website where i bought it sent me a "modified" Zuk Edge:

It's in 2.3.079 ST (ZUI Version) based on Android 6.0.1 BUT...

- it's an unofficial ROM (not the Stock one) cause for example a lot of languages are available (not only English & Chinese), i can't find the "Search for updates" button, a lot of Chinese apps (like WeChat etc) are not there, GAPPS were already installed on the device, some icons are different...

- i think there is a Custom Recovery because when i reboot into recovery mode, the device asked me "Chinese" or "English" language and then i have a screen where i can reboot, poweroff, or... "install update package", so i guess its a custom recovery? (TWRP? Another one? How can i know?)

Anyways, i was so pissed off, until i rebooted my device into bootloader mode... I was surprise, but it's still saying "Device state - locked"...

I know this is the only think which is non-reversible and which make me UNABLE to get OTA updates forever, so i'm glad they haven't unlocked it.

Now i'm a bit lost. How should i proceed to go back to a perfectly

100% original Zuk Edge

? Like NO custom recovery, and go back to Official Stock ROM?

PS: the device ISN'T rooted (i checked with Root Checker)
