Sdcard & twrp?

Well, I have done a complete wipe of my phone, reinstall of OS (B01) and all applications. Everything worked, could access my backup location in TiBu (on sdcard), even substratum installed correctly. Made nandroid backup. Added 2 modules to magisk: unified hosts and xposed (26). After another nandroid backup, I restart. The magisk modules are active and now all of a sudden, TiBu cannot access the backup location. I go back to TWRP to restore my backup. It gets stuck at 17%. I try to restore the earlier backup (before I had the modules in magisk). It also gets stuck at 17%. Note: even yesterday, I had the impression it got stuck at around 15%.

So, not sure what is going on, but not being able to restore nandroid backups is really bad news. Any ideas?

As indicated before, I am on NFound' s TWRP -6 and am encrypted. I have no issues with the decryption either in TWRP or in Oreo. The encryption dates back to Nougat. I have an A2017G.

If this is not solved, it is a showstopper. I must have reliable TWRP backups (ie, ones that I can restore).

EDIT: this feels like sinking into a swamp. In an effort to recover my nandroid backup, I flashed twrp 3.2.1.0.. Now, it won' t decrypt. Error Password failed, please try again! I cannot even push the bootstack with twrp 3126 to my device via adb as it is offline.

EDIT1: well, managed to recover a bit - still breathing. Put the bootstack with twrp 3126 (a big thank you to [MENTION=1965130]raystef[/MENTION]f66) on a usb and flash that via otg. Back to 3.2.1-6 by NFound and can again unencrypt. But still stuck at 17% during nandroid restore with 3.2.1-6. [MENTION=5492451]NFound[/MENTION] any ideas?

EDIT2: ok, did another wipe and complete reinstall of the B01 and magisk. Activated my gmail account, only reinstalled a few apps from TiBu. Back to recovery, nandroid backup. Reboot. Again TiBu cannot access backup location on sdcard. So, it has nothing to do with the magisk modules. Just rebooting seems enough.

EDIT3: just to complete the experiment, I also tried to restore my nandroid backup of my latest clean install. Restore stopped at 39%. Total size of the backup is 4183MB. The backup size for my full installs are on the order of 9000MB, so it would seem it stops after more or less the same amount of restored MB. I will now try to go back to [MENTION=1965130]raystef[/MENTION]f 's Nougat to see if I can get out of this issue with a working rom and without losing my encryption.

EDIT4: well, I followed [MENTION=1965130]raystef[/MENTION]f66 's instructions in https://xdaforums.com/axon-7/development/rom-slm-dfnr-t3744388 and it recognizes my password but says that my data is corrupted. This is based on the B-35 bootstack. Will retry with universal one.

EDIT5: with the universal bootstack, I still get a message that my data is corrupted. When I revert to NFound's 3.2.1-6, I can again decrypt.

And one final EDIT6: with B10 bootstack, still an issue with decryption (password failed).

Any idea what's up with these random names being appended to the app folders in /data/app?

This is clean install, only ES installed, same thing with only Root Explorer.

This thing is infected with something? Check for yourself and post results. This only happens on B01 Oreo, on Nougat it's not happening, the folders are named as they should.

See attachment

PS.

Yesterday I had files/folders with random names generated all around the internal storage. This is on fully wiped storage, including the internal one and data. Cleaned them up manually and it didn't occur second time by now, but what's described in first post occurs every time. Thoughts on this are welcome.

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] raystef66:
There is no issue with it at all. It's all about what's in the build.prop ( ro.product.model). You have flashed a 'G'-rom. That's all. So no worries.

And that you selected the A2017U was all about your modem selection.

Try to flash your appropriate modem zip from OP.

I'm on B01.

I use a bluetooth headset for music. If i pause a melody, after 2-3 minute, i cannot resume the melody.

I have to open the music app (stock app, i havent try another app) and click play. The melody start from the begining.

On 7.1.1 i didnt have this problem. Is it only me or is a common problem?

And most important is there a fix for this?

I have installed the b01 on my 2017g and I use 2 SIM and jojoc 3.2.

So far my main problem with dual SIM is that every time I reboot, the system defaults to Mobile data off and SIM 1 as mobile data card. I change it to data on and SIM 2 as data card and when I reboot it goes back. Also only one of the 2 card has an option for 4g (the other will go up to 3g).

Another thing is that I can not access the engineering phone settings with #*#*4636*#*# , it will always fc the dialer.

Other than that the ROM is working fine.

It's not a bug, it's a feature. ;)

The rom is for A2017G. So the device is named that way.

You have selected A2017U MODEM.

So don't mind about it.

But you should use B12 that is made for A2017U. It will fit more to your device.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] DarkQuark:
For anyone thinking of swapping ROMs I thought I would post my results. I tried the B01 ROM as well as the B12 (I have a U device). Both are good but I had BT issues with both (big deal for me because I use BT frequently) and adaptive brightness issues with B12. What did I end up doing? I stuck with RR 8.1 from 5/19 (non-encrypted). I am a big RR fan anyway so it worked out for me but the BT issues are what pushed me back. All of it is amazing work by Nfound this is just what I did.

Having this call bug on both the EU as the US version (people can barely hear me), but wat makes it even more weird is I also have it while calling on WhatsApp or Skype. Any ideas? Can't use this rom otherwise (hello Google disabled doesn't make a difference) .

Edit: been testing and could make a better picture of the issue => the problem is that when not in speaker mode the phone uses background canceling, it takes the bottem and the top microphone and compares it to cut out background noise. When calling and i sabotage the top mic the sound is ok. So basicly my issue is that when calling it cuts all sounds instead of just background noise

Edit2: Found the real issue, the proximity sensor is not working properly, it goes from 100cm distance to 0.0cm distance when its covered. Can someone who is not having this issue download a test app for the proximity sensor and confirm their is working properly? When my proximity sensor is taped and it reports 0.0cm the "call" bug is gone. So it's basicly the proximity sensor that fails and thus screws the background noise cancelling software.

Edit3: seem to have fixed it with recallibrating the proximity sensor, it's still going from 0 to 100cm without anything in between but it did fixed my calling bug. The app I used is in link below, it needs root acces to work.

Flash it from TWRP

Before I couldn't see daydream in the store, sideloading didn't work for me neither (app would crash reporting device not supported)

After flashing this to the EU version and clearing the cache/data for the appstore I can see Daydream in the store yet i can't install it due to version not compatible with this device message. However after sideloading daydream it is fully functioning again on the EU version

Edit: after sideloading and using the daydream app I suddenly was able to uninstall an install it directly from the appstore, not sure how that happened

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] timmtomm8:
For SOT: when you are using nova launcher, you can just add a shortcut to the Android battery menue (which is existing, but is not linked in the battery section of the beta ui of the rom) - find it in nova under: add widgets > nova launcher activities > activities > settings > battery. This creates a shortcut to the battery information, showing SOT, app usage, hardware usage... Or when using WakeLock Dedector: you must tap on the bar (that is indicating deepsleep & wake time) in the app and this brings up the info for SOT

PS: that is also working on B12

A bit different to the apk NFound linked, as it doesn't give you a "Processing HDR+" or "Processing Lense Blur" overlay message. It does have an initial load animation before you can view a taken picture so im assuming thats covering the effect processing.

Portrait photos gives you two options (portrait/nonportrait) while HDR+ seems to only give the one presumably HDR+'d image.

Regardless im currently running Stock, NFound's HDR+ and now Arnova's V6 camera concurrently with no issues as of yet, so ive got all my bases covered.
