Oh so the phone is not detected as Daydream compatible?

If so, are you able to download games and content for daydream from the play store other than the required apps?

[MENTION=3823787]romitkin[/MENTION]

Well it doesn't come stock in the Oreo beta but yes it does work and I've already tested it with games.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Victor13f:
Thank you for the feedback and help. I will try continue updating the thread with feedback, developments and fixes. Excuse me only for some silly mistakes since I am not THAT good with this stuff :laugh:

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Victor13f:
Has anyone else had trouble with the Automatic brightness? It doesn't seem to work on my phone.

Edit: It does work but the little dented wheel doesn't move across the slider. I went outside and the screen became brighter but the slider didn't move.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ppllpp:
For what i know the slider in oreo doesn't move like in nougat, i think. You can use slider to set levels of max brightness. But i can be wrong on this.:confused:
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] GodOfPsychos:
That was also the case on stock nougat. You gotta decide what you want, dolby or V4A. Using both doesn't work
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] raystef66:
Because my previous version of my iYTB twrp zip didn't quite flash correctly on this beta due to some reasons... i made a new one ;)

So for those who want the iYTB Vanced adfree black version on this beta, just flash A2017X_iYTB_v12.49.55_v8a_v3.3

Newest version : A2017X_iYTB_v13.18.54

ENJOY !

Btw, huuuuge thnx to the iYTB team ;)
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] KevinX8:
Huh why so old? Use the latest version provided on Vanced.cf, works perfectly on this rom and almost all other roms.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] raystef66:
Didn't check on a new version...will update that :cool:

Btw, what should be the difference(s) with the 'old' one ? Can you enlighten us ;)

Updated to the newest one - see above...
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] reas0n:
Okay I flashed this and with wm size 1080p is so damn smooth :cool:

One biggest problem I saw is strange behaviour of volume slider after I connected my AUKEY Bluetooth headphones. I need to set it very high and I can't do a vol+/vol- using my headphone buttons.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] YoungAll:
I wasn't so clear above, I know we can't use both at the same time but I mean Dolby will act weird if V4A also installed even it's inactive, in nougat it doesn't happen to interrupt Dolby when V4A is not in use.

I also found the same on raysteff Oreo rom before and I found that Dolby unstable but now I think it was because V4A was also there in inactive state.

Sorry for my english
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jeremy-X:
Is it possible to use just the oreo modem (NON-HLOS.bin) on nougat ?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] sToRm1nG:
You could try but NON-HLOS is not only the modem.

It might very well be that not everything is working properly.

I remember the Oneplus One had GPS issues when flashing newer NON-HLOS on older ROM versions.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] nfsmw_gr:
I did that a while back, not sure if it was oreo modem, but definitely newer than the one I had.

I had no issues.

Worst case scenario flash again what you were using, backup always just in case.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jeremy-X:
I can't find the Oreo NON-HLOS.bin, in the installer it's under a folder modem and the files are CN, EN, CN. Can I rename EN if I have an A2017G to NON-HLOS.bin ? Or is there a flashable modem only zip for TWRP somewhere ?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] raystef66:
If you wait a minute I'll make one ;)
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jeremy-X:
Ok, thanks :)
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] raystef66:
Here you go : ZTE_A2017X_Oreo_V1.30B01_Gmodem

Let us know how it runs.

Btw, you can always flash the original modem with twrp. See Download Center
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jeremy-X:
Thanks will try, I'm backuping EFS, modem and persist before trying so I can go back easily with TWRP restore :)

Been using the phone as my daily driver with the beta and I couldn't be happier. Only thing I found is the call bug is still present, my girlfriend called and at first I couldn't hear her but after turning speaker on and off it started working again. And another thing is that I can't seem find where to turn the damn pedometer on..

I guess best thing if you don't want hassle is to wait for LOS 15.1 or a SLIM ROM by [MENTION=5334294]raystef66[/MENTION] :) but personally I'm very happy with it, it's not like the stock B10 7.1.1 didn't have bugs.

Edit: I'll update the thread with links and other info as soon as I get home.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] raystef66:
Thnx!

I personaly have no call bug at all.

Sms app, with that stupid square box to type in, could be better though. (as beta b12 not have ;)). Phone ui is more then ok. Sound on call no problems at all. Imo a bit less radio signal and 4G. Notification on lockscreen is better with that 5sec display on receiving one. Battery life seems ok with Jojoc_V2 but too early to conclude.

Dttw is much more reliable and faster then before.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] AGR747:
Pattern changed?

Longtime lurker here. I followed the guide and everything went fine. Until the lockscreen came up on the first bootup. It seems my pattern has changed. I have no idea what it could be. Thoughts? I'm kinda stuck.

[MENTION=5334294]raystef66[/MENTION]
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] EBeatFLA:
TWRP > Advanced > More > Unlock > Reset Lockscreen

Don't forget to go back into your security settings and set your pattern back up afterwards.

Flash my remove pass, pin & pattern from download center or the above post
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ifek:
I checked the log after unsuccessful flash of beta oreo over aex v5.5. It was looking for apdp.bin, and there is only adspso.bin in the zip. What's the deal with this? Any thoughts appreciated, thx.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] AGR747:
EDIT: I gave up and wiped it. That's what backups are for.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] DarkQuark:
Anyone notice this too? I have a U model and installed the U flavor of the ROM but in system details it says I have a G. However everything works fine.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] AGR747:
I was going to ask about this as well. My A2017U thinks it's a A2017G and can't get LTE. EDIT: Disregard. I am an idiot.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] kountry83:
[MENTION=9186279]AGR747[/MENTION]

Dude you're getting LTE if you see the 4G symbol in the status bar. They use different symbols overseas. Download LTE discovery and it'll tell you.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] AGR747:
You're right, of course. I jumped the gun. My issues are with AT&T, not this ROM (which is great, BTW)
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nameless One:
When using this file I have had problems with some apps not being able to see the external SD card, only Solid Explorer and Titanium Backup could see it, the external SD card was not showing up in the storage selector for other apps such as QuickEdit.

It seems that removing:

,encryptable=footer

from the line for the external SD card breaks access to it.

To prevent encryption of /data only the other encryption option needs to be removed.

Thankfully restoring the above piece to a copy of the file and replacing the one in /system/vendor/etc from within TWRP doesn't cause anything to be wiped and restores full access to the external SD card.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] greyhamism:
If im understanding, the full external sd entry should be :

/devices/soc/74a4900.sdhci/mmc_host* /storage/sdcard1 vfat nosuid,nodev wait,voldmanaged=sdcard1:auto,encryptable=footer

thinking i'd try and pre modify DrakenFX's file so i only have to install once
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nameless One:
Yes, that is how the line should be. So modify DrakenFX's file and then follow his instructions (including the backup bit if you have anything in internal storage you want to keep).
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] greyhamism:
Awesome thanks, that was taken from DrakenFX's file that i edited :good:

hi I just need to flash Jojoc 3.2 with TWRP and no need to do anything else right? After flashing I do see Jojoc 3.2 listed in magisk
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] raystef66:
That's right, no more no less ;)
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] GodOfPsychos:
It's really fascinating how the community is ironing bugs and annoyances (like the force encrypt) out of the very first beta so fast. And its just the first beta. Really looking forward to future beta versions in case ZTE gives green light to beta testers or can't manage to fully come back. Or perhaps another leak might come again.

But still, really glad to see this community still flourishing after all what's been happening to ZTE recently ^^
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] king1990:
Thank you nfound for the ROM , it is working really good no problem at all , battery is also good getting better results than stock 7.1. also Xposed work and with Gravitybox you can hide the carrier label, add traffic monitor & unlink ringtone & notification volume.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] iyancoolbgt:
Is supersu working in this?

Maybe it is because magisk that reboot disemmcwp didn't work
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] raystef66:
Don't even bother trying. Much worse then Magisk. Adaway not running at all...Magisk is the best solution.

Change system files through twrp file manager.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] iyancoolbgt:
Could you tell how?

The file doesn't even show up in twrp file manager. I want to edit system/vendor/etc/thermal-engine.conf
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] raystef66:
Mount System within twrp
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Victor13f:
Short update:

Battery life after 48 hours is easily over 6 hours SOT with the Jojoc V3.2 module installed, easily twice as much as on stock B10 7.1.1

I have seen some improvements with the camera but mostly in low light. Will post pictures when I can.

The whole phone is really snappy and I have not experienced any lags or system crashes whatsoever. No reboots.

Speaker sound is great, I love the new Dolby. It sounds loud and clear with excellent quality.

Found a bug. When I try taking a "Wide Selfie" which is a new mode we have on the new camera, the camera app just crashes and force closes. Please let me know if you have this problem too.

4G and radio signal seem to be stronger for me funny enough. At work I only ever had Edge and now I have 3G/4G.

PS: thank you all for the testing and development and if you find any bugs, fixes or development updates feel free to pm me and I will add me to the original post so they don't get lost.

HDR+ vs HDR

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oq5qaLLF1eY
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] whips:
Does this rom by any chance have always on or ambient display enabled, and soft navigation bar? After getting used to these on AEX, I can't go back to stock without these 2 features.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Victor13f:
Always on display no, but all Oreo roms support Always on display by simply changing some Java code (commit?), I'll look into that later. It has ambient display but only for when you receive notifications.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] iyancoolbgt:
Thanks, it works, I edit using vi command from twrp terminal
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] GodOfPsychos:
Really nice to see it working^^

i still use gcam 3.2.045 with the old hdr+ which is already better than stock hdr. But still nice to finally see a sneak peek of newer gcam versions with improved hdr+ working on our axon 7

What i really hope is if devs like ordenkrieger and unjustified devs can use the b12 beta or newer as a base to implement camera2 api into their custom roms as well

Coming from RR 8.1.0 by NFound.

All partitions ext4.

Performed a full wipe (system, data, cache and dalvik)

Stuck on flashing SafetynetFix.zip using TWRP v3.2.1.-7 by NFound after flahing this rom.

Had to force reboot to recovery, which is now TWRP v3.2.1.-6.

Wiped cache and dalvik, rebooted, and got stuck on the bootloader screen.

When I go back to recovery I notice that I can't access the sdcard content, as it isn't recognized.

The only way I manage to flash this Rom .zip is by copying it from the extSd card, which fortunatelly I can still get access to.

Again, I kept away from f2fs, so that is not the issue here.

My full TWRP backup is on the internal storage, so I am unable to restore...

Any recommendations?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] amphi66:
You cannot access internal storage, or just the existing backups from TWRP?

The -7 TWRP stores the backups one level higher than others. Have you tried using the TWRP File Manager to move your backup to the folder where -6 is looking?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] timmtomm8:
You find it at the gravity box settings for the lock screen, as something like change text for your provider ...
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] DarkQuark:

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zootopia:
Thank you very much for replying.

Somehow I got it working ... :highfive:

I figure it had something to do with the moment I wiped the cache and dalvik partitions. (previously I wiped only at the end of the process, as opposed to the instructions).

Begginers mistake, my bad, sorry for the annoyance everyone.

Amazing work by [MENTION=5492451]NFound[/MENTION] and the community, as always.

After reading through every post, I'm really tempted to flash this ROM tomorrow.

I'm in SLIM 5 currently and am facing some performance issue now and then.

I'm currently using my phone for personal & work which is quite demanding for both battery and processing power.

I'm not sure if I need a better phone or better ROM. I have considered to sell my Axon 7 and get a 6GB phone though, since OREO wasn't really stable for dual sim until this beta ROM.

Would you guys recommend this ROM as daily driver? I really love Axon 7 for the hardware and really hope this ROM is the savior I need :)
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soyunamortz:
Wait for the next release it's just around the corner
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zootopia:

Can anyone tell me whats wrong? Safetynet check is success (poprawny) but ctsProfile and basicIntegrity is false. Tried to flash safetynet fix.zip by recovery again but it keeps stucking on extracting files. Any solution to this?

EDIT:

nvm after uninstalling xposed module everything is ok now.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] EBeatFLA:
If you're needing dual SIM with no performance issues or hassle, stay on Nougat until Oreo gets developed more for our device. Patience is what it's going to take in your situation. Perhaps try some of the many stable Nougat ROMs, I highly recommend AEX.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] nfsmw_gr:
Are you an insider?

I'd love to know how you know this.

I'll hold off from installing of course if this is true.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] argblah:
How do you find the battery life to be with always on or ambient display features enabled in that ROM?

I use a stopwatch app that only has a tiny bit of white text on a true black background. In official Nougat, the screen uses an additional 5 to 10 percent battery life per hour running that app. I wonder if they are hesitant to enable those features because for whatever reason, this screen draws a disappointing amount of minimum power for an AMOLED screen.

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] GodOfPsychos:
The one we got now is b01. So the very first beta. B12 is already quiet ahead on bug fixes etc. Idk by how much. But if it is one of the latest, the bad sot time should be gone. At least a beta tester in reddit said so once that the latest betas have much less battery consumption compared to earlier versions.

Then again, it is only "if" b12 is one of the latest and has those fixes within. Sadly idk which version that reddit user had.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] wineds:
Thanks [MENTION=3044858]DrakenFX[/MENTION]. So no way to stop internal SD card wipe? I am on Slim B01 from [MENTION=5334294]raystef66[/MENTION] which was derived from the November Oreo beta. When I moved to Slim 01 from November Oreo beta I don't recall having to backup and restore internal SD. I would rather avoid backing up and restring internal SD if possible? FYI my data is already encrypted and ext4.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] greyhamism:
Initial thoughts after coming from a Stock A2017G on the latest 7.1.1 (may or may not have accidentally allowed twrp to modify system and had to EDL my way out of that hole :eek:) are pretty positive overall.

Loving the far closer to stock interface, especially in the battery/power management department. It may just be that "new rom feeling" but everything seems a lot snappier and smoother.

Oreo only features are great (ie scrolling screenshot, built in split screen) and the updated apps like ATMOS or the OEM Camera are a nice touch, tho i cant speak to any quality improvements as of yet due to lack of time.
