I haven't tried it yet as I'm currently using another phone. But will definitely try the method [MENTION=633903]docentore[/MENTION] mentioned when I get back to my Axon 7!

I had all kinds of "corruption SD card" issues with my 128GB SanDisk, tried to fix it, but I didn't know that there is another way of repartitionuing SD cards in TWRP in Wipe section.

Oddly enough the device name (I mean SD card) changed after using Wipe. After that I could use it back in all apps.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] schueyisking:
Hiya

What do u mean instead of using twrp, isn't the Wipe function in twrp??

Sorry I am a total noob and need step by step instructions!

Have torn all my hair out just getting this far...

So I go back into twrp, go into wipe sub menu and wipe the ext card before flashing???
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] olus:
i really thought you found the bug and thanked god for your workaround with proximity sensor recalibration, BUT no, i dont think its done. Tested with this app a few days now, i have given root, so it can "recalibrate" after reboot. It didnt really work. Sure i had calls without bug, but i also had calls where i cant here anyone till i switch speaker on/off.

10mins ago i called someone, had this bug, toggled speakerphone,..

1min after i did a testcall and still had that bug. right after that i did a testcall again, still buggy, tried a third time - buggy.

then i started this app again, calibratet, no reboot:

testcall.. still buggy.

rebootet, then again testcall: NO bug!

but after that call, i got the message from this app, that "its now calibrated". so i think my call was before this app recalibrated after reboot. then tried another 2 testcalls - no bugs!

so i dont think that app solved the callbug for me, but the reboot has. this app just does nothing. maybe im wrong, any other testers here?

i really hoped that you have a solution for this problem!

Im gonna wait until ppl tested it a bit more and found solutions to the auto encrypt stuff etc and share their overall experience compared to nougat.

Raystef already made a flashable zip with the modified build.prop for a working google certification, so thats pretty neat for a start :D

What im curious about, is the camera2 api. I am certain zte worked on a full camera 2 implementation since nougat b10 (2017G) already had some slight changes made to the camera hal (all cameras stopped working when adding the hal3 line to build.prop, in nougat b08 this wasn't the case).

However, in an earlier post someone said that there is a hdr+ toggle in the developer options? Whats up with that? Is it a toggle for enabling/disabling level 3 camera2 api?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] greyhamism:
Might the encryption issue be fixed by using TWRP 3.2.1.6 from NFound? His TWRP thread mentions it being the version to use with stock based Oreo ROMs noting something about decrypt support for the /data partition ?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] GodOfPsychos:
Do you know how amoled panels work? They are not like LCD pannels where the backlight is on no matter which color. If a theme is pure black (as #000000 in hex value) amoled panels turn those pixels off since there is no need for them to do anything.

Test it yourself and take the black screenshot in the attachments. View it in full screen in your desired gallery app (so there is no statusbar or anything, just a black screen). Now press the power button to go into standby and see. You won't notice that your device went into standby (except if you have lock/unlock sounds enabled of course :P)

That is what an amoled panel does. So ppl using a purely black theme will always have less power consumption since the display is basically turned off on those black areas

Do i need root to flash jojoc? If so, what magisk version should i use?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] raystef66:
Root needed. Use Magisk 16.4 (or 16.0 ). Flash Jojoc V2.1 or V3.1 module within Magisk or via TWRP

V3.2 : https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=962187416754476535

V2.1 : https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673956719939820457

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] GabbaGandalf42:
Ok, tried it out but was disappointed. Flash progress was kind of messy. Couldn't back up my data even though it always worked with other ROMs. Also did not get magisk running. Whole system seemed fast and there were many nice features. But it all was too messy for me, so went back to crdroid, no regrets.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Victor13f:
Works fine on my phone. Settings -> Sound -> Advanced -> Phone ringtone -> Default notification sound.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Victor13f:
To get Magisk running could've flashed V16.4 and the safetyNet fix .zip made by [MENTION=5334294]raystef66[/MENTION] and it should've worked fine. Cheers.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Victor13f:
I'm getting over 6hours (probably slightly over 7 on light use) SOT with auto brightness using Jojoc V3.2. My phone is only 6 months old which must help but it's still a huge difference from stock and easily twice as long as stock Nougat. ;)
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ppllpp:
Thanks, but I'm sorry, I didn't mean it that way. I can change the sound but after applied when i get notification i have the "stock" sound. Anyway i think it's related to pixel pack.

edit:

Nevermind after a reboot it's all ok.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mickey36736:
I tried to add HAL3 line, camera2 api enabler magisk module. Nothing work. Also, there isn't any toggle for it to enable hal3.

I think we need to put some camera blob from somewhere (maybe from B10 or AEX) to get it work.

I get error '...signal 11....' , like the zip file is corrupted but it is not. I was on Nfound AospExtended from 14th May. Also was on TWRP 3.2.1-7. After the error it ended up on version 3.2.1-6. File system is ext4, phone is not encrypted. Luckily I had backup so restored back to AospExtended. What could be a problem here? Should I have wiped everything out before flashing? Is it the file system? Any help would be appreciated,thx.

I keep getting stuck on the axon screen after flashing. Was on aex with f2fs. I flashed with 3.2.1-7 with and without magisk.

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] sprcreative:
The bug was persistent on my device, it didn't go away if i went to speaker and back. Reboot didn't do anything. Not some calls but every call. That did made it easy to troubleshoot it as i would call myself on skype on the computer. If you have the bug again, cover the proximity sensor with your finger (is on the top right of the screen), that would 'fix' the bug with me. Otherwise try to close the top mic so we can check if it is also the background canceling software that is causing it.

As far is I understand the app needs to reboot to change some system files, without reboot no changes are made. I suspect the app checks after reboot if the files are changed and then reports that it is 'now' calibrated. I removed the app afterwards, so far the bug didn't return.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] schueyisking:
EDIT: well i set the sd card back to 'portable storage' in the phone then replugged back to PC, then rebooted to twrp, and yes, i can now transfer files to either internal or sd card again.

The other issue i've got now is - I can't transfer anything from pc.

When i connect the phone to computer via USB i see 'ZTE Axon 7' come up in my computer, i go into that, and its just empty. No sd card/internal storage showing.

If i boot into TWRP recovery i see the two drives, but then i can't transfer any files into them.

i'm totally stuck now. I need to reflash but can't push any files to my phone! what on earth is going on?

i deffo have the zte drivers and everything installed.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] DarkQuark:
In the event you are using a USB hub of any type, bypass it and plug directly into your PC.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] schueyisking:
well i just followed the first post and did it all again, step by step, the only thing i did different was this time putting the ROM in the INTERNAL memory.

I flashed separately the External memory card in TWRP>Wipe as per the suggestion.

Flashed everything, following line by line the instructions.

I get to home page. Open up camera. STILL DOES NOT WORK. "NOT ENOUGH STORAGE SPACE".

I am absolutely fuming. Please please for the love of god. Can someone help me. Why is it saying that. Why.

I don't even have the memory card even in the phone, plenty of internal storage space obviously. What is happpening?

if i can't use the camera i can't even use the damn ph0one.

Why does it think i don't have enough storage space? This isn't an SD card issue, i don't even have it in the phone, and the camera app is set to save to phone, not external.

Theres something fundamentally wrong.

why has no one else experienced this?!
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Victor13f:
First of all, you're welcome.

Secondly, the camera app has a set save location option as you mentioned, did you try playing with it? Did you try a different camera app? How much free space do you have? Please be more specific instead of just making a big fuss out of it. If there was something fundamentally wrong more people would've mentioned it. Cheers.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kalleculated:

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] skdubg:
this kernel doesn't work with stock roms
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] tron1:
Hi-res audio output isn't possible with this rom. It's limited to 16-bit and 48kHz. Tested with Poweramp/Neutron and even with the stock player. So the main advantage (excellent audio) from this phone is gone with this beta. Back to Nougat :(
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] greyhamism:
I'm not sure what settings you're using, but ive got Neutron to leverage the HiFi DAC (B01 on a A2017G). Tested working with 44.1/48/96/192khz @ 16/24bit FLAC/ALAC files.

Have a look here for info : http://neutronmp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=4014

There was a mod a while back that enables high bitrate/bitdepth output with poweramp, but that was only using the SD DAC afaik and was still kinda hacky in its implementation
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] tron1:
This is from "Choose an username":

""open the terminal emulator and input

"su"

"dumpsys media.audio_flinger"

while playing music, then find the thread that says "standby=no"

""

If you're doing so you will see that your phone is working with just the named 48kHz/16bit. No matter what player you are using.

With the Neutron player I do have success with the Oreo AospExtended ROM V5.5 there I see the full 192kHz/24Bit output with my hi-res files.

Poweramp IS NOT CAPABLE to output to a direct output on our device.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] greyhamism:
Oops, thats good to know re:Poweramp, sorry for the misinformation.

Poweramp has got a nicer UI, but i like neutron a lot more feature/flexibility wise.

If after following your terminal commands, it returns a " standby=yes " does that mean high res files are being played properly?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] schueyisking:
ok firstly apologies - i typed all that in haste and was frustrated at not having a working phone.

- yes...i tried to change the save location back and forth and messed around with it, i'm not a total dunce.

I didn't try a different camera but given that someone else on the thread said that other apps like spotify weren't working due to this same problem, then i didn't try as i'd rather fix the source of the issue.

I have plenty of space.... its a zte axon 7 (obviously) wiht everything 100% wiped.

Sorry when i said fundamentally wrong, i meant with what i'd done, or the way i'd installed it on the phone - but the error message points to something deeper than just installling it wrong.

anyway in the end i gave up, followed the custom ROM thread, and thats all working fine. so i'm just using that.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Victor13f:
Hello. It may be, it was a beta ROM after all. I've been using it as a daily drivers since it came out and have had no issues whatsoever, maybe I'm just lucky. Thanks for the feedback and I hope someone will figure this out.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] tron1:
"Standby=yes" is just telling you this channel is not in use. You have to search for "standby=no" part to see the settings in the active channel. Don't forget to play a hi-res song during hacking in the root shell.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dodgexander:
I posted this in the b12 thread but it should also work with b01.

You can install the universal bootstack from the new lineage os to make system writable.

From my limited testing on b12 it works fine.

Be sure to read the thread i linked regarding the error message the bootstack gives you though.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] romitkin:
Everything works fine for me on B01 except for the fingerprint service.

Every once in a while, the phone crashes and reboots. When that happens, the fingerprint sensor no longer unlocks the phone. The sensor itself works, and the phone vibrates when it does not recognize the fingerprint. When it does recognize, however, nothing happens and the phone is not unlocked. Even a reboot does not fix the problem.

When I delete and register my fingerprints again it works until the next crash.

Does anyone have the same issue?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] YoungAll:
Obviously you cant use fingerprint after reboot, you have to use pin or pattern instead, that is the way it works on every phone I think. Does it say that you need to unlock using pattern or pin code?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] nfsmw_gr:
It only accepts pin.

In my case a few days ago I had a pattern, i found a trick online to use it, but that didn't work as well.

So I had to wipe everything. :/
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] romitkin:
Hi I know that, even after the first use of the password, when the fingerprint sensor should work it doesn't.

This happens only after the crash and not after a normal reboot.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] xoroi:
So, I tried all the posted solutions but I couldn't get past the lockscreen asking for a PIN and informing that the phone data is corrupt. I tried to disable this with TWRP but I had no luck, I don't know what is wrong.

I'm going back to LOS 15.1 for a while and maybe next week I will try it again.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ramnkc:
Boot into TWRP, format everything including internal storage, Then restart and boot into TWRP... mount your internal storage and copy rom into it and flash again.... it will work, i had the exact same program and did the above.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ramnkc:
Installing bootstack will wipe whole whole phone again right? Can you write out the procedure how its done? Do we need to do anything extra just install that universal bootstack?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dodgexander:
No it shouldn't wipe a thing. I just installed in twrp and that's it.

Like I said it will give you a warning message on boot that you can just hit power to continue or disable the warning using a command listed in the lineage thread I linked. You should read the thread before flashing so you understand regarding the warning message.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] joaste:
Do you know if the command from the los 15.1 thread to get rid of the warning really wipes internal storage?

Thanks!

I can confirm that it is working fine on B01 - with the universal bootstack flashed, system now is writable (just using fx file explorer with root, Magisk 16, and in my case nothing was wiped, but backup always is recommended!).

Are you still able to access twrp? I'm not able to anymore after executing the command in terminal.

Tried reinstalling twrp through axon7toolkit; which worked, but twrp can't access any files on the phone. Every time I reboot to recovery, it asks if I want to keep the system as read only, even if I choose swipe to allow modifications.

I managed to get twrp 3.2.1-7 on it but still same results.

Any ideas? phone boots and magisk 16.4 works fine...

EDIT: sorry, just realized 3.2.1-6 is needed. I can see all files again.

I'm having weird battery issue recently. My A2017G with B01 Oreo suddenly shuts off and shows low battery, although it shows my battery still have 30% left. So far this happened around 4 times during the past week. Is this ROM related or I have to get the battery replaced?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Choose an username...:
Maybe both? Usually that happens because the counter is calibrated like crap. Download any app that shows you battery voltage (Ampere, Accubattery i think, Battery Calibrator by NèMa, Battery Log) and check the voltages. The phone should shut off around 3.3V. Likewise the max voltage is around 4.25V. If yout battery never reaches full capacity, or it shuts off before getting to 3.3V, then you should change it. Otherwise maybe a calibration would fix that (it's helped me sometimes in the past).

Guys, is there any guide for safe return back to Nougat? I was searching for it here on the forum, but no luck.

I was trying to flash previous one (B10 slim) via TWRP, but it seems that Oreo has reformated system so it is not working.

Also, I would like to get rid of that unlock bootloader warning while back on Nougat.

Is the EDL flash of B10 Full EDL zip right way? Sorry if you fing my questions silly, but I rather ask than brick :)

Thank you.

SOLVED: the way was to download B10 EDL from download center here and flash it via EDL Tool.

well, i wasn't enjoying the custom ROM at all. so i had one last attempt at this. this time decided to just wipe absolutely everything, and go to town in TWRP. wiped and deleted everything, didni't bother installing Magisk or rooting the phone or anything like that. Just installed the ROM. It worked. Went to access the camera. It worked. No weird 'not enough memory' issue. So . job done.
