That looks like some of the earlier Oreo builds that appeared before the B01 and B12 versions, in that they use ZTE's MiFavor UI/Skin.

Unsure if its a post 'US Shutdown' release or an older one.

Personally im much more fond of the the stock/vanilla interface present in the aforementioned B01/B12 betas

Anyone know how to Mute Volume Adjust Sound. The beep sound is very loud when on a call and i try to increase or decrease the volume and the beep comes through the earpiece. Thanks

Stock is so fast.. If things don't get sluggish and not many bugs found, I don't think I can go back to aosp roms for a while. New battery installed, will be testing with both jojoc versions and if some sot sacrifice coming from aosp is worth it. This performance is how our a7 should be imo

Dumb question is there a way to get battery percentage to show in the status bar icon without needing a swipe down to check? Seems like something basic every phone should have lol

Edit - I haven't tried jojoc v2.1 yet but battery life on this is not so bad with jojoc v3.2+new battery. I'll be posting screenshots later with some more testing if it's anything decent or impressive. I was wondering if adreno idler from custom kernels such as schwifty was placebo or could actually help make a difference which could be what this is missing except its only for aosp roms. Seemed like it helped when I was on AEX+schwifty+jojoc at the cost of some performance which wasn't bad but still noticeably slower compared to stock
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] vicyang85:

Updated Integrated Daydream VR Universal!

[MENTION=8495959]Victor13f[/MENTION]

Please update your daydream.zip link to this newly update one please.

Thank you

I've been working on implementing the DaydreamVR with modifications for the ZTE Axon 7 Oreo. I managed to implement the DaydreamVR apps and Google VR Core app to the system apps directory with correct set permissions. I also created modified the permission xml files with correct set permissions for performance and interact with the VR system apps.

***Updated with new modified hardware libs!***

Before flashing please uninstall Google VR services and DaydreamVR home/DaydreamVR input app you side-loaded.

After flashing it will update Google VR services, let it! After that's updated go clear cache and data from Google Play store and Google Play services under:

Settings/Apps&Notifications/AppInfo/Google Play Services/Storage

Clear cache - Clear Data

Settings/Apps&Notifications/AppInfo/Google Play Store/Storage

Clear cache - Clear Data

Restart and go to Playstore to let update the Daydream VR / Daydream VR Input! May have to check for app updates if you don't have auto update turned on.

Flash with TWRP and enjoy!

Google camera 5.2 (modded) works well apart from slow mo but it may work in 4.4 not sure.

Edit# managed to use this app to change locale to English UK. Seems to be working okay so far. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=set.lang.pro

It doesn't work great. At first i thought it wasn't going to work as it needed system access and b12 is still system write protected. Root didn't work in the app so i manually added it to grant access in magisk and then after several attempts it seemed to work changing the locale to English UK from us. I checked it was working by opening maps and playing the computer voice and it was UK accent and not US.

Further confirmed by the listing of maps in playstore as transport rather than transit.

I'm sure this will be even more useful for someone wanting their phone in a completely different language, including maps computer voices.

You have to check filesystem of your data and system partition. It should be ext4, not f2fs. Then pattern lock should be gone.

B12 Encryption Fix

I was able to fix B12 encryption doing a variant of the steps to fix encryption on B01.

1. After successfully TWRP flashing B12 ROM, boot phone fully into B12 ROM so that encryption data created.

2. Skip all setup options until fully booted at Home screen.

3. Enter Settings,> About > Click "Build number" 10 times until Dev options unlock. Enable Dev options: Oem unlocking & USB debug.

4. Reboot in to TWRP, select wipe data "Yes". Reboot recovery.

5. In TWRP again, select wipe menu, format data as ext4 (step 5 may not be necessary, but I did this and it worked for me).

6. Download [MENTION=3756725]kountry83[/MENTION]'s B12 "fstab.qcom" encryption fix and copy over to phone storage. Found in post #47--> https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76685288&postcount=47

7. In TWRP Mount menu UN-check "Mount system partition read-only". Check box next to System to mount System.

8. In TWRP > Advanced > File Manager, navigate to /system/vendor/etc and rename "fstab.qcom" to "fstab.qcom.bak"

9. In TWRP File Manager, copy [MENTION=3756725]kountry83[/MENTION]'s "fstab.qcom" to /system/vendor/etc (chmod 0644)

9.1(Optional) Flash Magisk 16.4. Systemless root established when data is not encrypted for some reason.

10. Wipe Dalvik cache and cache, then reboot. No data encryption.

Noted "Side" Effect

** Decryption fstab.qcom fix + Magisk 16.4 = external exfat 64GB microSD cards get a "Corrupt SDcard" notification at boot. There is nothing wrong with your microSD card.

**EDIT--> Solution to Corrupt external SDcard side effect **

11. To fix "Corrupt SDcard" notification, format external SDcard to Fat32 in TWRP --> problem solved.

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] keckek:
Maybe something messed up in your data partition. You should clean re-install ROM. And should take a look on Data partition filesystem.

I got the same problem with you then I change Data partition from f2fs to ext4 and re-install ROM, everything worked perfectly.

Edit: I can't find how to turn on feature: control music player in lockscreen, anyone help :(
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] try1231:
Data was in ext4 format and cleaned. I've solve it by flashing Nfound's TWRP 3.2.1-6, but having wifi problem afterwards.

Now on B01 and everything works fine. Guess A2017G is not really suitable to try B12.

Thanks everyone for the advice though.

Hey bud if you want to test this modified B12 fstab.qcom you can and let me know if it works. You might have to set permissions 0644 first before replacing the file. Format external sd card to Fat32 and wipe data.

Zip is tested. Flash at own 'relative' risk. Read OP : https://xdaforums.com/axon-7/how-to/patch-remove-carrier-center-clock-t3798028

NOTE :

1. This zip makes a backup under intSD/ozop. In case you want to revert flash the zip inside. But making a full backup before you flash this mod is a must ;)

Where is that original YouTube located? IYTBP/Vanced should be placed in /system/app/YouTube/. Maybe the original is in a different location and newer or it's in /data/app/ (updated before you noticed?).

EDIT: Oh wait, just thought of something. Are you sure you have the original YouTube? The Vanced black and dark apps are white by default. If one is expecting to see a skinned app but get all white they might think it didn't install. You go into its settings to turn on the theme.

So double check that.

BTW, having the theme toggle is a good thing as some Substratum themes now support Vanced YouTube specifically (DeadmanXD's Linear and Valerie).
