[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] littlenoodles:
Thanks, Ny. It's nice to see that we're still getting security patches. One question. Are your builds essentially the same as the ones armitage has been posting on his 'UNOFFICIAL' thread? Obviously, you guys have been building on different dates, so you're picking up different nightly LOS source - but the vendor stuff and other configuration settings are the same, right? (i.e., the builds are interchangeable in terms of dirty-flashing over one another)?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] NyQuilXT:
As I'm also just building the images from udev's repos (excluding his last WIP commit on the device tree), they should be interchangeable. As for LOS 15.1, there isn't much development anymore...just googles security patches were included lately.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] gads1:
can anyone explain why applying this "offlinecharging" package would render me unable to unlock my Axon7? PIN pattern security in place on lock screen.

Fortunately, I've moved on to different phone for primary but this Axon7 with Lineage 15.1 was backup. I applied the __OfflineCharging__ zip (only 40MB) and now I"m unable to unlock PIN lock screen on phone. The phone correctly boots and I see notifications for apps, etc.

However, I'm unable to successfully unlock PIN pattern.

Any ideas? Am I hosed...? -GA :p:confused:

Okay, so 15.0 LOS isn't supported anymore because [MENTION=4911249]Unjustified Dev[/MENTION] is now going to work on 16.0 (if he can get a few people to help)? Congrats on the promotion by the way. Or am I misunderstanding something? Sorry it's all a bit confusing for me since this is the first time I've really looked into the development of a phone.

I grabbed out the old B32+10 backup where it used to work and recorded a video of it, see [youtube]eZGSPhNiQqM[/youtube]

When it used to work properly you had to pass like an 80 degree angle. Nowadays it's like 10 degrees. Makes for impossible usage when not sitting idle. Basically always need to lock and unlock rotation to do anything with a deal of inconvenience.

Looking forward to this. Hopefully it can fix the aforementioned auto rotation issue we've had since Treble started long ago.

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] NyQuilXT:
Read my and udev's post in page 249
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] gads1:
I used the following TWRP: "twrp-3.2.3-0-ailsa_ii.img".

additional notes:

you may encounter issue with unwritable vendor partition. check the Axon7 thread for PARTY.

if flashing Lineage 15.1, you may encounter error on first try ("creating vendor partition failed"), be sure to immediately try again. if fails third time, see #1.

the various boot stacks, modem, etc were confusing for me as well. In addition to having boot stack and modem, if you want Offline charging there's another ZIP to flash. Note you lose fastboot.

when all said an done, if your battery level stays at 50%, there's a kernel fix for that, search axon7 threads for "LOS_kernel".

Guys it's not over I just don't have a working Axon 7 anymore. I actually shattered it a while ago, but I have an Axon M now and it's pretty much similar enough to where I can do most testing on it and then bring the work to the Axon 7. I got TWRP ported now I'm working on bringing the same support in our device tree. 85% of our libraries from 8.1 already come from this device so it won't be much longer. If I save enough, I'll probably grab another Axon 7.

Does anyone have a mirror for this? I arrived on the train a bit late, I'd much prefer an official Lineage build to an unofficial one

Edit: Found a nightly, looks legit too: http://dlr.ovh:8080/axon7/lineage-15.1-20190221-nightly-axon7-signed.zip

However, I'm very confused about this whole bootstack business. Not something I've come across before. What am I meant to do with the bootstack? Unzip it and add it to the image? It's not flashable, at least not in any of hte traditional ways I've tried.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] runninghamster:
The bootstack is the bootloader. It's required for booting the device.

Use the LOS 15.1 Universal V2 bootstack, and flash the zip using TWRP. After that, you can follow the instructions and flash your modem and rom.

Ive just bought a 2nd axon7 to install lineage os on because my old one has been brilliant. Its got a newer version of android (old 7.1.1, new 8.0). Could i use a backup of the new os to install on the old phone?

Is installing lineageos on an axon 7 to dificult for a noob? It looks really complicated and seems more hassle than its worth. Why do people install lineage os and then put GAPPS in, isnt that defeating the object of switching oses?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] MaK11-12:
I'm uploading my unofficial builds of Lineage OS 15.1 at https://github.com/deltabeard/lineageos_zte_axon7/releases

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Boristheliar:
So after 2 weeks of running stock lineage 15.1 without GAPPS or micro G. I have less apps than my standard axon 7 my power usage is a lot more than my old phone. So I installed accubattery from aurora store which confirmed that the battery usage is almost double running lineages 15.1 than android 7.1.1. Is this normal?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Boristheliar:
Does anyone reply to any threads on this website? Getting zero support of help is a real pita.

This OS on this phone doesn't work, if I call someone its hit n miss whether I hear them, i end up having to borrow my partners phone to make a call. Battery life is worse, I've lost all my sensors too because I tried installing 17.1 unofficial that people report works. So, can anyone explain how I reflash the stock is that I backed up using twrp to my PC. Please
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] pnin:
Sorry, wrong forum...
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] &Delinquent[$]:
Yes, but this phone was never a mainstream device and is... five years old now? Not surprising this part of XDA is quiet.

If your power useage is ramped up constantly, I would suggest looking at your cpu clocking. If your profile is set to maximum performance, your cpu will run constantly at full power. This is a huge drain.

There's also the question of the radio. I'm fairly certain that the current radio offerings are US, which will result in poor reception in (where I am guessing you live) the UK. This will also increase battery consumption, since your phone will constantly poll for better reception, as well as doing some gain manipulation to try and improve performance. I'm actually looking for a better radio driver myself - although it may come down to writing one.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Boristheliar:
I finally tracked it down to the launcher, called Trebuchet; that was causing my battery drain.

Originally the heat issue was solved by reflashing the os a second time, the first time I wipes all data, had the high heat/battery drain problem. Installed the is but forgot to wipe the data which solved it.

But after a while I still had high battery drain -200/300mA.

This killed my battery last week and I lost all my data. So I reinstalled the LOS I have that I know works and still had high drain so I replaced Trebuchet for Nova and I'm getting idle power usage of -7mA. Which is what my stock phone does. Hope this helps.

I'm in the UK with a Chinese axon. I think this modem works better than the UK modem. I was at Cheshire oaks last week and got 100mbps download speed.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] &Delinquent[$]:
Really? I've never heard of Trebuchet being that sort of hog before. Did you have homescreen persistence enabled or something? It's been a long time (8+ years) since I used anything but Nova.

I have to admit, I'm having problems with the radio, myself. I'm using @king1990 's Baddar90 build, and I think that might be part of the issue - my phone thinks its a US model (A2017U), and even though I have the A2017G modem flashed, I don't tend to see much better than -80db. Usually it hovers around -110db, and more often than not I have no reception. I've been trying to fix that today with a few different radio packages, but with no luck.

Actually, that reminds me - apart from the radio issues, the entire Baddar90 build runs perfectly. I have no heat problems, the 50% battery bug is gone, etc etc. If you want to try it, its here: https://xdaforums.com/t/9-0-8-1-baddar-kernel-gcc-10-0-caf-linux-stable-update-11-7-2019.3929878/

Let me know if you have the same radio issues, though. Also, what network are you on? I half suspect giffgaff may be at fault...
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Boristheliar:
Im on the Three network. My phone also thinks its a US variant buts because its baked into the ROM. When I goto network settings I can see a list of about 20 types ie Global, LTE/CMDA/GSM, GSM w EvDo etc etc. If I were you I'd try the Chinese modem driver because it seems to have the widest variety.

What is home screen persistence? I doubt I had enabled it.

I've set up an extra hard drive and my PC for a development environment because I want to develope this phone. I have zero coding skills though so its gonna be a struggle.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] &Delinquent[$]:
Yeah no, don't start with homebrew android stuff. That's delving into some pretty complex C-style syntax. Think of it like trying to read Dostoevsky without understanding Russian. Start with something a bit simpler, like learning abotu the principles of Object Oriented Development. Maybe touch a little C# or Ruby. Come back to C langs and machine code after that.

I also see a bunch of network types, but I only see automatic or US bands when I try to adjust that. Although I just managed to wipe my IMEI by using dd on modemst1 and modemst2, and it looks like my backups failed to read properly too. Xposed here I come, I guess.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Boristheliar:
I've never heard of Ruby!

Can you point me to a starting point for OODev? I bought a book about Python but have yet to start learning it.

I had an English axon 7 and I bought 2 batteries from the same seller. The first was a great battery so I kept the 2nd as a spare. When I bought my 2nd axon phone I used the 2nd battery but I had the 50% battery bug so I swapped it for an Ali express battery which solved the bug.

I had another (3rd) axon which I couldn't hack as it had android 8 on. It was a Chinese phone and I wondered if that would suffer the 50% bug, which it didn't. My guess was the batteries are designed for different models of axon because my Mrs has the android 8 axon and it works well. I did try a fix for the bug on this phone which didn't work.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Boristheliar:
If you're in the UK and know of a good source for batteries let me know. I've having problems getting hold of them. Most seem to either not be new or not built to OEM standards.

What do I do with the baddar kernel you linked me to? Its only 12MB, do I flash it on top of my LOS install?
