B12, be aware french user from France!

The rom is in french but for canadian people...Which is kinda different from regular french.

The main problem is you get canadian news on Google Now :( And no regular french available on MoreLocale 2

Any solution? As i often use Google Now
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] kountry83:
Is there a safety net fix and Google certified fix for B12?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soyunamortz:
Safety net pass whitout issues
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Oki:
I haven't tested it yet, but the old stock Nougat ROM supported F2FS in the data partition. Probably cache partition is creating a problem with the stock Oreo ROM. Just for testing you can format cache partition back to ext4 to see whether that fixes the problem. That was the F2FS configuration required for the Stock Nougat ROM. Data should work with F2FS. If you have encryption enabled, then you will need to reformat Data partition to F2FS and lose everything. Nonetheless since you are switching from AOSP to Stock, then you will need to do a clean install and it shouldn't be a problem for you. Let us know about your result.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] kountry83:
Yes safety net does pass but still showing play store uncertified.

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] kountry83:
So you had the same issue?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] joaste:
I'm liking the return to stock.

My only issue so far is that the call big is back after months of not having it on ARX oreo.

I have to toggle the speaker to be heard by the person on the other side.

The other small thing i noticed is that there is no option to remove vibration from alarms (in the clock app).
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] raystef66:
hi Joaste!

You're talking about the betaB01 i suppose (because there is the betaB12 too) ? I dont use the default clock app but imo there is a checkbox.

And very strange you have that call bug again. But as i remember you had it before, no ?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] joaste:
Damn, thanks raystef66. I missed the checkbox there. I was looking in the general settings.

For the call bug, yeah, it sucks. I hadn't had that bug for many months but it came up on the first and only 2 calls i have had so far.

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] GodOfPsychos:
Go settings>apps>google play store and delete data. After that it will will recheck for certification. If you changed any settings in play store, like no automatic app updates etc, you gotta have to change them again to your desired settings after deleting data.

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] joaste:
No, but this is a well known bug that has been around for ages. I just didn't have it on stock before, except in the very beginning, and didn't have it on AEX. It is very annoying to see it come back.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] anon1135:
hopefully there can be a flashable fix like how there's one for safetynet and better battery life in the op. but if it's something that's been around for ages without a fix that might be a problem
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcian135:
Hi everyone,

First off, thanks for the awesome work to the Devs involved really like how my Axon 7 feels now.

So far I've had no major issues except for one thing, I've a microSD card in my phone, the phone detects it but apps such as the camera or gallery or Spotify can't detect it.

At this point, I can't save anything to my microSD. Is there a workaround for this or does this have to do with the F2FS partition?

Thanks for the help!
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] 2000impreza:
The call bug is very strange. I had this issue with all aosp based roms (ie. RR, AEX) while many did not encounter the issue. With the oreo b12 beta, I have not yet had the bug occur. It makes me wonder if there are small variations in some of the hardware components.

Installed B01 coming from RR Nougat unofficial version with microG via Nanodroid.

First of all, a big thank you to [MENTION=5492451]NFound[/MENTION] and also [MENTION=8495959]Victor13f[/MENTION] and [MENTION=1965130]raystef[/MENTION]f66 for making such a rom and then providing instructions & download files.

Overall, installing Oreo 8.0.0 V1.30B01 on my A7G was not too difficult (although these things always seem to take a lot of time). My main reason to install a stock rom after a long time on lineageos is because I had too much trouble losing mobile data (at random or systematically once I had activated flight mode and then wanted to go back to having connections; this was impossible without a reboot). You could also say that I tried to fight google and google won (for now).

I did a full wipe (not internal storage) and was able to have my encrypted RR move to 8.0 without losing any data. Also, I use double SIM and it seems to work. So far, no loss of mobile data. All plusses. Dolby Atmos sound is really good. After installing Nova Launcher etc..., my phone looks very similar to my prior RR but it feels faster. Too early to say much about battery.

I still struggle to install adaway and substratum. Substratum installs, but when I launch it, the phone reboots. Maybe due to system being read-only? Not sure. Would like to create a magisk module to install these 2 apps.

I also have not yet found how to get GravityBox to work (I installed xposed .zip from TWRP and downloaded GravityBox, but get an error 'gravitybox xposed system framework not responding exiting'.

Still to do: get jojoc (3.2) to install as that flash failed a few times, not sure why.

I also put xprivacylua on my phone as I am continuously surprised at how much google offers to do for me, at the cost of my privacy. Once LineageOS 15.1 comes out, I will therefore probably try switching to that.

Suggestion to [MENTION=8495959]Victor13f[/MENTION]: as the NFound zip file is in Russian, it is a bit confusing.

1) the % installed stays at 0 for quite a while. You would think it is not doing anything. But then all of a sudden, it goes to 100% in no time.

2) at the end of the process, a pop-up shows with something like 'Da' and 'Her' which must be 'Yes' and 'No'. But it is not clear what the question is. Well, it is whether you want to reboot the phone. You may want to indicate that in your instructions for those people who want to root/install magisk before first boot.

So, overall, very enjoyable to have Oreo on my phone and thank you again to [MENTION=5492451]NFound[/MENTION], [MENTION=8495959]Victor13f[/MENTION] and [MENTION=1965130]raystef[/MENTION]f66.

/sigh, so I wanted to restore RR which I did. But it boots asking for a PIN and mine will not work. And I cannot get to TWRP anymore. So the only thing it will seem to do is boot to RR but it won't let me in. Anyone have any suggestions to help me or point me in the right direction? Right now I have a useless phone. Thank you.

EDL flash your desired twrp if necessary.

Can you provide some guidance on that? My attempts at that have failed. Any help is greatly appreciate thank you.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] raystef66:
My bad, you cannot enter TWRP. Can you edl flash twrp 3217? If so, you can flash this zip or imo you can remove all locksettings within twrp itself, right?

Install the tool like explained on OP of the edl tool.

Download twrp 3217 and put it into the folder of the recovery. (rename twrp to recovery.img) and flash
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] DarkQuark:
I am not sure if I can EDL TWRP , running through thread after thread at this point trying to find out.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] raystef66:
https://xdaforums.com/axon-7/development/axon-7-edl-tool-flash-backup-restore-t3750759

Put the twrp file into flash/recovery folder.

Then power off phone, hold vol down +power and connect to usb while tool is running.

It should detect your phone.

After that choose flash recovery.

That's all. Reboot into twrp...

Btw, golden rule : relax and don't panic ;)
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] DarkQuark:
Thank you very much for that. It appears my EDL mode is hosed. The key combo just boots into RR but I let the tool detect it via ADB. It did that and sent it to EDL mode at which point the tool could not find it. I had similar issues using other more manual methods.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] raystef66:
Also do the same but with all 3 buttons.

Also, when booted into edl mode and the tool won't recognize the phone, just reboot/refresh the tool.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] DarkQuark:
Whether I use 2 buttons or 3 or even "adb reboot edl" it will go to black screen (which I assume is EDL) but then nothing will detect it from there.

After trying many many times I did 2 things different.

- ran adb from powershell instead of command prompt (probably makes no difference I just mention it in case)

- plugged the phone directly into my PC vs through a USB hub

Anybody uses an android watch with the b01? How is the bt connection?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] greyhamism:
I have an AmazFit Pace, and have had no connection issues so far. i did have to whitelist the companion app to allow it to run in the background, but otherwise its exactly like when i was on 7.1.1. I'm currently running B01 on my A2017G
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] tritrancs:
First, many thanks to NFound and you guys here for your excellent work. I am in B01 and the ROM is working perfectly. I've just notice an issue with GCam and wonder if any of you got the same issue.

I've flashed the lasted HDR+ file using the link provided by raystef66 which included the safetyfix, then flashed the GCam using the link provided by NFound and can see the Gcam installed.

However, nothing happens when I shoot photos in HDR+ auto and HDR+ off mode. No photo is taken after the button is pressed and I can no longer press the button to shoot photos after that. It looks like the camera hangs but I can still use other buttons.

If I change to HDR+ on or I switch to front camera then I can take photos, but I assume there must be something I miss for the HDR+ auto to work. Any of you got the same issue?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] greyhamism:
You need to install the GCam provided, then flash the B01 Patch from NFound & the separate SafetyNet patch from raysteff66 ie there are 3 required files. I wipe Dalvik & Cache after zip flashes just to be sure.

*Edit*

Nevermind, just tried to snap a few shots myself like you described. The main camera indeed doesn't seem to take shots unless HDR+ is enable ie not auto or off.

I'm unsure as to why this is, but personally im not that fazed. This and the FC that slomo causes on Gcam is incedental to me, as the stock ZTE Oreo Cam does both these things already.

Someone with greater knowledge on the whole camera2 api implementation might be able to shed light.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] piet8stevens:
SDcard access?

Well, after my positive report earlier, I have run into problems for which I hope to receive some ideas on how to fix.

I flashed the hdr+ and safetynet fix. Also installed a bunch of modules in magisk. Also installed xprivacylua with a number of restrictions (all in one go unfortunately Then, my phone became extremely sluggish and started rebooting.

So, I restored my nandroid backup. Resulting in twrp bootloops (!). I then did a dirty flash of the rom, uninstalled magisk to get rid of all those modules and reinstalled it. I got back to android, but still sluggish. One thing I had noticed before all of this trouble (yesterday, when the phone was working very well) was that I always had to reconfirm that the external SDCARD is there and that it should be used as external storage.

Now, it turns out that using the 'files' app, I can see the content of the external SDCARD but in Titanium Backup (my backup location is on the external SDCARD), I cannot - error that the backup location is inaccessible.

I hope to fix this without a total wipe. Thank you for any ideas. I also find it pretty disturbing that a restore of a nandroid backup does not give me a working phone. I am on NFound's twrp -6.

EDIT: well, I kept fiddling and somehow the slowdown disappeared and it seems back to normal. A pity I do not know what caused this and also what solved it. TiBu can now again access its backup location also. The phone did do some kind of soft reboot where I got the startup screen, no request for encryption PIN and I needed to again give it access to the external SDCARD from the notification area.

EDIT1: problems are back with sluggishness of the phone.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] tritrancs:
Thanks and good to know that I am not the only one with the issue. Not sure if it is related but my phone is A2017U at B01. I will wait a few days and if there is no way to fix, I will flash the B12.

Also facing microSD issues

I also have the same SD Card access problem. I tried reformatting the card using the Storage settings but that ended up corrupting my SD card.

Then I used TWRP to reformat it and changed it to EXT4, no corruption & the file manager is able to see the contents of the card but things like the Gallery, Camera & Spotify still won't let me use it as a storage option.

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] rzarectha:
I'm really torn now between using the B01 that was made for my phone model (G), and the B12 that is more recent, but not made for my phone exactly.

Anyone knows if this concern has any basis in reality? is there any difference between the U and G that would matter in any way?

What I am asking basically, is what would you recommend using for a 2017G?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Victor13f:
I couldn't tell you if B12 is better but I can tell you that I've been using B01 as a daily driver and it's stable as hell. I have not experienced any system crashes or reboots, no app crashes, no lags and practically almost no odd behaviour. So IMO I don't see the point in switching especially since we now have the HDR+ patch by NFound. :)
